The hill where two people were executed, on the gallows.

At this time, Rukia was still hanging here, unable to move.

"Renci!"

She saw the appearance of Abarai Renji, and also saw that he used his Bankai, controlling the skeleton snake, and attacking Kuchiki Byakuya with a roar. She suddenly became very anxious.

"No! Renci!" Rukia shouted vigorously, "You can't fight with your brother! Run away!"

No one knew better than Rukia how powerful her eldest brother was.

Although among all the captains of the Gotei 13, Byakuya Kuchiki is relatively young and inexperienced, he is the most outstanding genius among all the heads of the Kuchiki family, and his strength is unfathomable.

Rukia was certainly surprised that Abarai Renji could master Bankai, but Byakuya Kuchiki had already mastered the power of Bankai decades ago.

When Abarai Renji was still studying at the Shinō Academy and striving to achieve his Zanpakutō's Shikai, Kuchiki Byakuya had already completed his Bankai and became the captain of the Sixth Division.

Decades have passed, and Abarai Renji's growth is jaw-dropping. But as the most outstanding successor among all the heads of the Kuchiki family, how could Kuchiki Byakuya not have grown?

His growth rate could only be faster than Abarai Renji, there was absolutely no reason why he could be caught up.

Therefore, Rukia didn't think that Abarai Renji could defeat Kuchiki Byakuya at all.

And since he couldn't defeat Byakuya Kuchiki, there was only one possible outcome for Abarai Renji, who was bold enough to attack the captain and the head of the Kuchiki family.

Beheaded on the spot!

"Run away! Renci!"

Rukia's voice became hoarse with anxiety.

until--

"You just tell others to flee?"

A deliberately sarcastic voice sounded from above and reached Rukia's ears.

"Then why didn't you run away first when you encountered trouble, but chose to surrender and be tied up here to be executed?"

When such words reached Rukia's ears, she almost did not doubt her ears.

“This voice…could it be…?!”

Rukia raised her head in disbelief and looked upward.

There, an orange-haired god of death, wearing a cloak and a Shinigami uniform, holding an exaggerated Zanpakutō that looked like a giant kitchen knife, stood on the gallows.

"Ichigo!"

Rukia called out the other person's name with trembling eyes.

The person who came was none other than Ichigo Kurosaki.

"You, you are Ichigo?" Rukia asked in disbelief: "Is it really Ichigo?"

No wonder Rukia said that.

I still remember that when she met Byakuya Kuchiki and Renji Abarai and was brought to Soul Society and left the human world, Ichigo Kurosaki was still a half-baked Shinigami who couldn't even perform the Shikai of his Zanpakutō.

Although Ichigo Kurosaki's spiritual power was very strong at that time, it was not worth mentioning in the entire Gotei 13. He was not even considered a chief officer. At most, he had stronger explosive power and could display amazing combat power at certain specific times.

However, only a few days had passed since then?

It seems like less than half a month?

In less than half a month, Kurosaki Ichigo seemed to have become a different person. Not only did he master the Shikai, but his spiritual pressure was also transformed, becoming much stronger than before.

Rukia could be sure that this was definitely a captain-level spiritual pressure.

So... Ichigo has become a captain-level Shinigami?

How could Rukia believe this?

On the other hand, Ichigo Kurosaki acted as if nothing had happened. He did not seem to be here to kidnap someone at the execution ground, but rather to be here for a picnic in the wild.

"I'm not the only one here, huh?" Kurosaki Ichigo pointed to a corner below and said, "Everyone is here."

Hearing this, Rukia quickly looked over.

Upon looking, Rukia immediately saw several familiar faces.

"Kuchiki-san!"

A girl with a nice figure was waving her hands happily below, and standing next to her was a boy in a pure white combat uniform and a sturdy Indian-style man.

"Inoue! Ishida! Chadari!"

Rukia muttered as if she had been shocked.

"Why did you come? Why...?"

The answer to this question is, without a doubt, obvious.

"Of course we're here to save you." Ichigo Kurosaki looked down at Rukia, snorted, and said, "Now that things have come to this, you are not allowed to say anything like you don't need us to save you, okay?"

"We've come all the way here, and the commotion is big enough. Even the captains are fighting among themselves for no apparent reason."

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you dare to tell us to escape on our own, I will knock you out with Zangetsu."

As he spoke, Ichigo Kurosaki flew in front of Rukia, and the Zangetsu in his hand suddenly flashed, cutting off all the torture instruments on Rukia's body.

Ichigo Kurosaki then flew to the ground holding Rukia.

"you……"

Rukia had a complicated expression and mixed feelings in her heart.

"Inoue!" Ichigo Kurosaki ignored Rukia and threw her to Inoue Orihime who ran over, saying, "Take Rukia away first!"

"Hey?" Inoue Orihime carefully hugged Rukia, and was startled for a moment, then said blankly: "Why? Aren't you all going together?"

"Yes." Kurosaki Ichigo said without hesitation: "You go first, I will catch up later."

no way.

"There's a serious guy watching me."

Ichigo Kurosaki then cast his sharp gaze forward.

“Ring—ring—ring—”

Accompanied by the sound of bells, a fighting maniac with a hedgehog head tied with small bells came walking over.

"Yo, I'm so sorry to interrupt your reunion."

The ferocious beast smiled and said this.

"Do you know how hard I tried to find you?"

The violent spiritual pressure crushed over like an invisible storm, causing everyone to hold their breath and tremble all over.

“Oh no…”

"Hey! Kurosaki! That guy is in trouble!"

Chad Taitora was sweating profusely, and Ishida Uryuu was breathing rapidly and shouting, they were already in an extremely nervous state.

"I know." Kurosaki Ichigo calmly blocked everyone behind him and said, "This guy should be the captain of the 11th Division that Ikkaku mentioned, Kenpachi Zaraki."

The character of Madarame, the third seat in the 11th Division, a powerful Shinigami who is admired by even Abarai Renji, which resulted in him being unable to advance in the 11th Division and having to condescend to the fourth seat.

After arriving in Soul Society and entering the Soul Society, the first enemy Ichigo Kurosaki encountered was him, and it took him a lot of effort to defeat him.

At that time, Chad Yasutora also met Ayasegawa Yumichika, the fifth seat of the 11th Division, and also worked hard and defeated the opponent with difficulty.

And from these two people, Ichigo Kurosaki and others learned about the existence of Kenpachi Zaraki.

By the way, Kurotsuchi Mayuri was defeated by Ishida Uryu, who paid an extremely painful price to win this victory, which made Kurotsuchi Mayuri so depressed that he no longer went out.

By the way, the reason why Kenpachi Zaraki tried so hard to find Ichigo Kurosaki and others was because of the reminders from Ikkaku Madarame and Yumichika Ayasegawa.

"Ikkaku has already told me that you are very strong and should be able to satisfy me."

There was no one else in Kenpachi Zaraki's eyes, only Ichigo Kurosaki, who remained calm under his own spiritual pressure, holding his Zanpakuto, which looked like it was covered with bruises, and a ferocious smile appeared on his face.

"Now it seems that he didn't lie to me."

The spiritual pressure of Ichigo Kurosaki, which was no less powerful than his own, suddenly made Kenpachi Zaraki excited.

"You guys go quickly."

Ichigo Kurosaki still looked at Kenpachi Zaraki calmly, but his voice was directed towards his friends behind him.

"Ichigo!"

Rukia quickly spoke up, trying to stop Kurosaki Ichigo.

The opponent is Kenpachi Zaraki. Even though Ichigo Kurosaki now possesses captain-level spiritual pressure, Rukia still can't imagine him winning.

Unfortunately, Ichigo Kurosaki no longer wanted to hear her discouraging words.

"Inoue! Chadari! Ishida!"

At Ichigo Kurosaki's cold shout, the three of them looked at each other, and finally followed his words and ran away.

"wait……"

Rukia was shocked, but she didn't even have the strength to struggle and was easily taken away by the three men.

"...Aren't you going to chase after me?"

Ichigo Kurosaki has been staring at Kenpachi Zaraki, but finds that Kenpachi Zaraki doesn't care about the departure of Rukia and others at all.

"I'm not interested in guys who can only run away." Zaraki Kenpachi grinned and said, "Besides, as long as you are here, it doesn't matter what the other little characters do."

Obviously, Kenpachi Zaraki only has Ichigo Kurosaki in his eyes.

"I heard that you had a fight with that guy Aize a few days ago?"

Kenpachi Zaraki held his sword and said this with interest.

"Yeah, he got beaten pretty badly." Kurosaki Ichigo held up his Zanpakutō and sneered at Kenpachi Zaraki who was releasing a terrifying spiritual pressure like a storm. "I wanted to come here to avenge my humiliation today, but now it seems that guy is still on our side?"

"Who knows what that guy is thinking?" Zaraki Kenpachi said disapprovingly, "I would like to take this opportunity to fight him again, but unfortunately, a scary old man has already been angered by him."

Ichigo Kurosaki naturally knew who Kenpachi Zaraki was talking about.

Because, from the very beginning, there was an extremely terrifying spiritual pressure that was emitting heat and slowly approaching that guy.

Even the current Kurosaki Ichigo felt that spiritual pressure and felt as if his hand holding the sword was about to tremble.

Even the captains and vice-captains who were fighting fiercely stopped for a moment, looking at the source of the spiritual pressure, each of them showing an expression of awe.

"It's the first time I've seen that old man so angry."

Kenpachi Zaraki said this with an expression that showed either admiration or sympathy.

"That guy is really in big trouble this time."
