Pirate: Strengthening with Alcohol

"How did he do it?" Uryu Ishida asked tentatively.

"No need to doubt." Hasward said: "You have been engraved. Didn't you drink His Majesty's blood cup during the succession ceremony? That was the engraving ceremony. Do you regret it? You still want to avenge your mother. Is it too late? As long as he is engraved, his power will return to His Majesty's body after death, and His Majesty's soul fragments have long been scattered throughout the Jingling Court. This war is fought for Your Majesty. , as long as the gods of death have touched His Majesty’s soul, they will dedicate their power to Your Majesty after their death.”

Chapter 126: Life experience

"No matter who dies in this war, Your Majesty will become stronger and stronger."

Hasward said calmly: "You and I will live and die for Your Majesty."

The night was about to pass and dawn came, and the gods of death began to take action. Rukia Kuchiki had just come out of the team building, and her hands felt cold, as if someone had touched them from behind. He turned around, and there was no one behind him.

"Who?" Due to the Quincy's invasion and each of them having abilities they had never seen before, Rukia Kuchiki didn't think it was an illusion.

"Feeling scared?"

A sinister voice came from not far away, and Rukia Kuchiki suddenly turned around. A tall man with long black hair parted in the middle and black pupils floated up from downstairs. Rukia Kuchiki's pupils suddenly shrank, and her right hand was unconscious. Holding the hilt of the knife, she recognized him. He was the Quincy Acenot who took away Dong Xian's swastika.

"I know you."

Esnot said slowly: "Kuchiki Byakuya's sister, Kuchiki Rukia, let me ask you, where is Kuchiki Byakuya now?".

"Is Rukia really Byakuya's sister?"

Ling Bai suddenly said: "In other words, is Rukia really Byakuya's late wife and Kuchiki's sister? I remember that family members in Soul Society all know each other and are not really related by blood. My dear."

Jingraku Shunsui was stunned for a moment. He had never thought about this problem. Since there was no blood relationship, why did the two of them look so similar to each other, to the point of being twins? He mused: "I have always learned about their relationship. I heard it from Captain Kuchiki. Speaking of which, Hima Kuchiki’s lifespan was really short. After marrying Captain Kuchiki, he only lived for five years before he unfortunately died of illness.”

For Soul Society, five years is like a few months in this world. Ling Bai said: "Bai Zai also heard about it from Feizhen. It doesn't make any sense. He can only learn about Lu from Feizhen." Regarding Kia, I always feel that the life experiences of Feizhen and Lucia are not that simple. "

Jingraku Shunsui said: "Tell me what you think."

Ling Bai said: "It may be a bit bold. Don't be scared after hearing this. This is also my guess. Captain Nirvana once said that creating a new soul from scratch and artificial death is the dream of all death gods. I'm thinking , is it possible that Hijin and Rukia are souls created by Urahara Kisuke that can evolve on their own? "

This conjecture was indeed bold. Kyōraku Shunsui was frightened. Ise Nanao’s lips trembled and he was speechless. If this was really the case, it would be too scary. After a while, Kyōraku Shunsui slowly said: "It is true. It is possible that the lifespan of artificial souls is very short, which is consistent with Feizhen's short-lived characteristics, and the appearance of the two is very similar, much like a soul created from the same prototype. "

Ling Bai said: "What makes people even more suspicious is that when Urahara Kisuke escaped from Soul Society, Rukia was probably still a toddler. How could he know Rukia so well? He even knew where she was, even in Ruki's home. When Ya lost the power of the Death God, he prepared a very suitable body in advance. I wouldn't believe it if he happened to find Lucia in distress. It was more like he was observing and monitoring in the dark, and then found her. An opportunity presented itself to Rukia who had no choice."

Kyōraku Shunsui nodded and muttered: "Urahara was in a hurry when he escaped from Soul Society. If he wanted to hide Hongyoku in an artificial soul that is more unstable than ordinary souls, it would be the best choice. If Rukia dies early, , that is, he hid Bengyu once and for all. However, Lucia grew beyond his expectations. Not only did she live longer, she also evolved the power of the Shinigami. "

Having said this, he smiled slightly sarcastically: "This may also be his miscalculation."

Ling Bai said: "There is another hypothesis. Maybe Urahara Kisuke entrusted the responsibility of protecting Bengyu to Hijin. Hijin knew that he was unable to shoulder the responsibility and also understood the importance of Rukia, so he entrusted Byakuya with the hope that as a The four nobles, the powerful and famous Kuchiki family, can protect Rukia and protect the secrets buried in her body."

"I don't think I have any obligation to tell you."

Rukia pulled out the soul-cutting sword and said coldly: "If you kill me, he might appear."

"That's what I meant." Esnot opened his arms and shot countless black thorns at Lucia. Lucia didn't dare to greet her. She knew that even Tosen Kaname couldn't resist his fear. He couldn't underestimate his own capabilities. After jumping twice in a row, he found that there was no way to avoid it. He released the Soul-Slaying Sword, and the cold air condensed into ice. The light thorns hit the ice cubes, dyeing them pitch black in sequence.

"It's useless, ice can't prevent fear."

Kuchiki Rukia's face suddenly turned pale, as if her body had been pierced, and she stood still, motionless for a long time.

"Can't you move? There's nothing you can do about it. Fear is this kind of thing."

"Really?" Kuchiki Rukia raised her head, stared at him, and said softly: "Then, what is your fear?".

Chapter 127: Nerves

"If fear doesn't work for me, does it work for you?"

"Fear has no effect on you?" Esnot tilted his head and said, "There is no such thing."

Kuchiki Rukia took off her cloak and said coldly: "If you don't believe it, you can try attacking me with a light thorn. Although I can use Sode Shirayuki's true power now, it still takes a little time to get used to this power. time."

Esnot said slowly: "I have said that fear cannot be blocked by ice. My fear does not invade from the body. As long as it passes by lightly, it will penetrate in. It is absolutely unstoppable. Everyone has things that make them feel safe and things that make them afraid. When asked why they feel so safe when they step into a place where they feel safe, the answer is too vague. "

Kuchiki Rukia looked at him quietly without any movement or attack. He hoped that the other party could continue to explain in this way, which would also benefit his own intelligence and stimulate Sode Shirayuki's power a little bit.

Esnot was still chattering: "Security is a very vague thing, but if fear invades, no matter how stupid you are, you can tell the reason for your fear, whether it is dark or cold, No matter pain, there are various reasons for fear, and all fears are connected with death. Not only emotional creatures have fear, as long as it is or, everyone will be afraid of death, and instinctively avoid it, as long as you are still alive. , fear will definitely work for you.”

"That's right."

A cold air rose around Kuchiki Rukia, like mist, and she said softly: "That's why I say that fear has no effect on me."

"You still don't understand?".

"No need to explain." Kuchiki Rukia's eyes were cold: "I mean, I have no life now."

Esnot's pupils shrank one by one, and he also noticed that the other party had clearly been hit by his own light sting, but still had no reaction, and thin ice cubes had condensed on Kuchiki Rukia's face.

"It may be different from what you understand." Rukia Kuchiki said slowly: "Sode Shirayuki is not a Zanzanto that releases cold air from the blade, but a Zanzanto that quickly cools the user's body, touching the body. Everything will be frozen, and the blade is just a tool to expand the freezing range. "

"Nonsense!" Esnot jumped to a high place and said in a deep voice: "When the body drops to that temperature, the movement of molecules in the body will stop. There is no way there will be signs of life. You are obviously still moving!"

Kuchiki Rukia said: "You are right, if the body temperature drops below the freezing point, it is impossible to have life activities. Now I am dead. I only gained temporary death by controlling my own spirit son." The physical art, the molecular activities of this body have stopped now, including the fear that you invaded, stopped at that moment. "

"How is it possible..." Esnot's face suddenly turned pale, and a sharp pain suddenly came from his shoulder. Kuchiki Rukia passed by him miserably, and the blade struck his shoulder, leaving a wound several centimeters deep, but No blood comes out.

"At this temperature, the blood will freeze and no blood will flow out of the wound."

Esnot resisted the pain and fought back, but found that his body could not move freely, but Rukia Kuchiki came on the ice. At minus 50 degrees, the ground where her feet walked would freeze into ice. At minus 273 degrees, absolutely Zero degrees. At this temperature, her limit of movement is four seconds.

But that was enough. Esnot's body was completely frozen, and even his thinking ability stayed at the state before freezing. The temperature gradually rose. Shallow wounds appeared on Kuchiki Rukia's hands. She was not yet able to fully control the sleeves. With Bai Xue's ability, when she wanted to turn around and break the ice that wrapped Aisnot, her pupils suddenly shrank.

Asnot broke out of the ice, his mask fell off, and his face became even more ferocious and terrifying. This was his perfect holy state, the cowardice of a god, blood oozing from his eyes, the joints of his upper body and chest exposed, and thorny wings of spirit wings appeared on his back.

Kuchiki Rukia quickly swung her sword, trying to kill him before his perfect body was formed, but no matter how she attacked, the blade could not touch Esnot.

"It's useless, you can't move your legs anymore."

"How is it possible..." Kuchiki Rukia exclaimed: "Are you saying that your fear has invaded my body?"

"You're still looking at me, aren't you?" Esnot tilted his head and said, "Although the cells in your body have dropped to freezing point, the nerves have not stopped functioning. I am forcing fear into you through the nerves."

As soon as he finished speaking, a surrounding net appeared around Kuchiki Rukia, with beast-like eyes in the middle of the net.

"No matter where you flee, you will be watched by my eyes. Even if you close your eyes, it will be useless. Your nerves cannot escape."

Chapter 128: Rules

"Good memories will stay in my heart forever, and painful memories will stay in my heart even longer."

Rukia Kuchiki suddenly felt difficulty breathing and her movements gradually became paralyzed. She now also understood that if she closed her eyes, fear would reverberate in her heart, and in the end she would be burned by fear to death.

Just when she was about to suffocate to death, the eye net suddenly shattered. Rukia Kuchiki opened her eyes wide, and her badge, Byakuya Kuchiki, walked in.

"elder brother……"

"Just in time." Esnot's fingers were trembling with excitement. He had already killed a captain-level figure before. If he killed another captain, he would definitely get a reward from His Majesty. He sneered: "I'm almost ready." I can’t wait any longer, come and enjoy my fear.”

Kuchiki Byakuya slowly walked towards him, and Rukia suddenly shouted: "Brother, you can't look that guy in the eyes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the eye net completely collapsed. Kuchiki Byakuya had already surrounded the whole place with Senbonzakura. Before Esnot could react, the small blade like cherry blossoms cut open his chest, and blood flew everywhere. He came out, but he hadn't fallen yet.

"Unforgivable!"

Esnott roared and said: "Don't worry, I will never kill you. Not only that, I will also make you never be in a coma, never lose your mind, and be immersed in fear your whole life. You will even feel that you are better off dead." Happiness, I want to live like this forever!”

His body gradually transformed, the outer skin of his body was peeled off, a large amount of blood spurted out, his eyes were exposed, and his lower limbs were twisted. Just seeing his appearance would make people feel scared, but Byakuya Kuchiki didn't care, and just said lightly : "Rukia, on the way here, I can feel your spiritual pressure. You have become stronger.".

Hearing this, Kuchiki Rukia suddenly burst into tears. Her brother, who looked cold but always protected her, finally admitted that she had become stronger.

"The so-called fear does not come from nothing."

Byakuya Kuchiki said slowly: "Fear is something that erodes the uneasiness in your body. Do you still feel fear now, Rukia?"

Looking at her brother's firm gaze, Kuchiki Rukia said loudly: "No way."

While they were talking, Esnot had already entered the second form of the Holy Body, howling like a wild beast at Byakuya Kuchiki: "Byakuya Kuchiki, it's over."

"Yes, it's over."

Kuchiki Byakuya turned around and had no intention of fighting him. He just said calmly: "However, I am not the one who wants to defeat you."

"When you look down on people, you have to have limits!" Esnot's gesture of baring his teeth and claws was very ugly.

"Lucia, look carefully."

Kuchiki Byakuya said: "What appears on his face now is not fear. As long as we have no fear in our hearts, what is reflected is the cowardice in his heart."

"Swastika, Baixia punishment!"

The next moment, a large disk of pure white light appeared in the sky, and a beam of light shot out from the ground, instantly penetrating the disk in the sky, and a bright wave of light appeared on the ground that was surging and dancing like a giant wave. The beam was dazzling and overwhelmingly white.

Eisnot suddenly felt indescribable dizziness, as if he had gone back to the time before Yhwach gave him strength. He was lying on the bed. Without an oxygen mask, it would be difficult to breathe. At that time, he felt that living was really painful. If you die, you may go to heaven or hell. If it is heaven, you will not feel pain. If it is hell, it may be even more painful than now.

When the white light dissipated, his body also dissipated with the light. His whole body was frozen, like ice withering and shattering. He could not choose between heaven or hell.

Thin pieces of ice also appeared on Kuchiki Rukia's body, and she stood there without moving for a long time.

"What an excellent swastika."

Kuchiki Byakuya walked up behind her and said softly: "Don't be anxious, lift it slowly, Rukia. However, this is also a very difficult swastika. If you make a slight mistake, you will lose your life. You have to control it carefully, don't be anxious. You can't protect anything by risking your life and wielding a blade. Keep this in mind and go and protect Soul Society."

"The rotten wood blooms."

Ling Bai looked at the white sky and said calmly: "As expected of Byakuya Kuchiki, the Kuchiki family has a long history. I don't think he has much talent and strength, but a Kuchiki who sticks to the rules and constantly tempers himself. , only then can the dead tree bloom and be ranked first among the five nobles.”

"Yes." Jingraku Shunsui also said with great appreciation: "It is precisely because of this integrity and strictness that they have prospered. That is why they insist on being so dedicated to the public, so abstinent and extinguishing selfishness. As an example for all the gods of death, they shoulder the responsibility of The burden of rules.”

Ling Bai smiled and said: "So, Kuchiki and Shiba are opposites. One sticks to the rules, while the other is free and unrestrained."

At the same time, Kotetsu Yuune was healing Rokusha Kensai's injuries in the warehouse on the west side of the Seireitei. Guarding her here was Kusaka Yachiru, the deputy captain of the 11th Division.

Kusaka Yachiru jumped up and carried the mattress and medicine in from outside and placed them on the only table in the room.

Chapter 129: His existence

"So far, we haven't been discovered yet. You're really lucky. That's probably what you think."

Just as Kotetsu Yongin breathed a sigh of relief, he heard a strange man's voice coming from behind him. His pupils suddenly shrank and his face turned pale. He quickly looked back, but there was nothing there.

"Where are you looking? I'm here."

Suddenly there was a cold feeling on his shoulders, as if someone was hugging him from behind. The old man wearing glasses appeared behind him. Suddenly, with a bang, Kusuka Yachiru flew up with a punch and hit the old man directly. on the face.

However, before she had time to pursue him, the opponent disappeared again, and the sense of substance that she had just hit also disappeared inexplicably.

"It's so strange. I obviously got hit just now..."

She looked around, snorted, and felt severe pain on her face. She even had nosebleeds. Kusaka Yachiru was punched inexplicably.

"Do you think you hit me?"

The strange man's voice came again: "That kind of thing is impossible. I am the Vanishing Point Gunnar. From now on, my existence has completely disappeared from your vision and consciousness."

Koutetsu Yuyin was puzzled. Why did Vice Captain Kusaka bleed from his nose inexplicably? Did he hit something? Kusaka Yachiru touched his nose, remained silent, and stared blankly at the blood on his hand.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard at the door. They looked back and saw an old man wearing glasses appear at the door. Kotetsu Yuin murmured, "Are you from the Stern Cross Knights?"

"Yes."

Gremi said, "I don't know how many times I will talk about this later, but let's talk about our first meeting first. I am the Vanishing Point Gremi. You can't even keep me in your memory, not just in your vision and feeling of my existence."

Although Kusaka Yachiru looks like a loli, she is still the vice-captain of the 11th Division. Like Kenpachi Zaraki, she has a strong desire to fight. When she saw the enemy, she rushed over without hesitation and punched Gremi in the face. Then, the opponent disappeared from his sight again.

She was also confused. Looking at her fist, she should have hit something just now. Before she understood what was going on, she felt pain in her shoulder again and blood splashed out. Kotetsu Yuin suddenly felt panic. Why did Vice-Captain Kusaka get injured for no reason?

Gremi, who was hiding in the dark, was very proud. Although his attack ability was not strong, if this cycle continued, these two people could beat him to death. Every time he disappeared, he would disappear in the other party's consciousness and forget his existence.

"Nice to meet you..."

He appeared again, but before he finished speaking, Kusaka Yachiryu punched him directly. Even Kotetsu Yuune was surprised. He didn't know whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, so he rashly attacked. This was not appropriate, and the other party was an old man.

Gremi was also startled and disappeared quickly. Kusaka Yachiryu stood there, looking at his fist. He clearly hit it just now.

Gremi, who was hiding in the dark, was sweating coldly. What was going on? The attack of this little girl just now was definitely not judgment or reaction ability, but a conditioned reflex to hit someone she met for the first time.

"Wait a minute, Vice Captain Kusa!"

Kurotetsu Yuin said loudly: "It's a bit too rude to suddenly hit someone who you don't know if he is an enemy or a friend."

Kurotetsu Yachiru murmured: "But I think he seems to be an enemy."

"Feel?" Kotetsu Yuin said: "What does this mean? We can't rely on intuition to hit people."

After all, she is a member of the 4th Division, mainly for medical treatment, and does not have the desire to fight like the combat unit 11th Division. No matter who it is, she has to think carefully before fighting. Gremi also thinks what he said makes sense. If there is any reason to think he is an enemy, you can talk about it and use it as a reference.

Kusaka Yachiru smiled and said, "When I saw that person, my heart was in turmoil."

"What!"

Gremi was completely shocked. This was not even a reason, it was completely instinctive. The attack just now had nothing to do with her will, she was acting completely on instinct. He looked at Kusaka Yachiru carefully. She looked very young, still a child, but she had pink hair like a bad girl. She looked very well-behaved, but for some reason, she always felt that she was as wild as a monkey in the mountains.

"What does turmoil mean?"

Koutetsu Yuyin asked, "Does it mean that you have a bad premonition?"
