Super Dimensional Pirates in Pirates

"As long as you tear this chest into pieces, can you see the mystery inside it?" Ulquiorra's pale palm pointed at the opponent's chest.

"You, what do you want to do?!" Under the control of Ulquiorra, the pirate in front of him stepped back with a pale face. His weak legs rubbed back and forth on the ground, but he could not stay away from Ulquiorra.

Half a minute distance.

Kakuzu stood next to Ulquiorra, holding his shoulders and watching the show. His expression was obscured by a black mask, and only his green pupils revealed a trace of desire for money - this was a prisoner with a bounty on his head!

"Can you see the secret just by cracking this head?" Ulquiorra raised his arm, moved his palm upwards, and aimed at the opponent's head.

"You, what on earth do you want to do?!" The pirate gangs gathered around, but they didn't dare to act rashly.

"Tear the chest, and you can only see the bloody organs; crack the head, and you can only get the soft white brain tissue. The answers you want will not be found in them."

"..." Ulquiorra responded in silence.

"Maybe there will be." Kakuzu glanced around and said, "They knew they were no match for us, but they didn't run away. This can be considered a kind of [heart] - the heart to die."

"Let Pink go!"

"That's right!"

"Otherwise we won't be polite to you!"

The pirates around him started making noise, and the noisy shouts made Ulquiorra frown.

"I have to see it with my own eyes." After Ulquiorra said, he suddenly stretched his arm forward, and the palm wrapped in armor-like hard skin easily penetrated Pink's body.

"Pfft"

When pale fingers carrying blood and the eyes of everyone around him pulled out the pirate's body, Ulquiorra said regretfully: "There is nothing here..."

"You! How dare you kill Pink!"

"Kill you!"

The surrounding pirates immediately boiled up, roared, drew their weapons, and rushed towards the two of them.

“Ah, ahhhh——!”

In the afterglow of the setting sun, bursts of piercing screams erupted from the dilapidated houses.

"Domineering is a potential power that everyone possesses. This power is an innate ability."

"If you want to awaken it, you must turn your invisible willpower into a tangible weapon. This has nothing to do with the strength of your strength, but only your own heart."

Eric answered Ulquiorra who came to ask about Haki: "Do you have a wish that you must realize no matter what?"

"...To help Sir Eric realize his dream, does this count?" Ulquiorra thought for a while and answered.

Eric: "..."

"No, no, no." Eric shook his head: "You failed in the battle with Esdeath before, so why are you feeling regretful and unwilling? Don't you want to defeat her next time? You can still hold on to your heart.

This idea?"

"Yes." The tear-stained face seemed to have never changed since the moment he was born, and Ulquiorra's voice was like a deep lake, silent and cold.

"This is where [the heart] lies."

"..."

Eric looked up at the sky, and Ulquiorra also turned his emerald green pupils in that direction. There was nothing there except blue sky and white clouds.

Eric asked, "What can you see?"

"My eyes can reflect everything." Ulquiorra said: "There is nothing that I cannot capture, so anything that cannot be seen with my own eyes is an illusion that does not exist."

"—I have used this as a benchmark and have been fighting to this day." Ulquiorra told Eric the belief that had always supported him.

"But you lost the battle." Eric's voice was like the first ray of sunlight breaking through the darkness. The clear beam of light penetrated deep into Ulquiorra's body, enveloping the ball of darkness in his heart, and the leaves turned yellow.

The seedlings strive to extend their branches and buds in the direction of the sun to absorb the sunlight.

"Actually, you can see a lot of things about [Heart]." Eric helped Ulquiorra sort out: "Knowing that they are no match for you, those pirates not only did not escape, but attacked you."

"..."

"Kaka" The hard black curtain that wrapped the heart broke into several cracks, and the light was rushing to get in through the cracks.

"You clearly have the advantage in strength, speed, and physique, so why did you lose to Esdeath?"

"Kaka" the hard heart barrier is continuing to crack.

The warm water vapor is seeping into Ulquiorra's dry riverbed, and his heart feels like a dead tree is beginning to sprout in spring.

[Ulquiorra's favorability increases, but the bond level remains unchanged]

"This is the power of the heart." Eric continued: "Although it cannot be seen with the naked eye, [the heart] can indirectly affect other external things. Have you seen this?"

[Ulquiorra's favorability increases, but the bond level remains unchanged]

"[Heart] is not in the body. When you are thinking about something, or when you miss someone, [Heart] will be born there. If you are the only one left in this world, then the so-called [Heart]

It will no longer exist.”

"The journey of life is never lonely. When individuals are connected with each other, the bond of [heart] is born. Only through joy, anger, sorrow, and vicissitudes can people find their own value in a long life.

.”

"And all this time, you, who have nothing, have never had the chance to understand this."

Ulquiorra closed his eyes and thought about all the things he had experienced during the journey. For the first time in a long time, he felt the slight beating of his heart gradually starting in his body, one after another, and then again and again.

"[Heart] does not rely on the body, and can be entrusted to companions after death. As for the result of the battle between you and Esdeath: Why Esdeath will win, it is because I firmly believe that she will win, and she will respond to me

The expectation! This is the bond between me and her.”

"Bang bang" The sound of Ulquiorra's heart beating was like a war drum on the battlefield.

The last scene of the battle flashed through his mind. It was Esdeath who had already reached the limit, but suddenly exceeded the limit of his body and shot himself down to the ground while flying in the sky.

"Does it mean that if you have it, you can do things that you couldn't do otherwise?" Ulquiorra's voice had a hint of color.

"Of course." Eric said solemnly: "The human [heart] is the greatest."

"Moreover, you have obtained [Heart]." Eric pointed at Ulquiorra and said.

"Have I obtained the [Heart]?" Ulquiorra's eyes widened and he asked with even more confusion.

"Because you are already closely connected with us, there is an invisible [bond] between us."

[Ulquiorra's favorability increased, and the bond level increased from 2 (close friend) to 3 (trusted friend). Gained 2 bond points]
