Chapter 118: Ashido's Past

Ashido originally thought that Kenpachi Azashiro who defeated Kenpachi Kuruyashiki, was a rare and heroic character. If such a person succeeded the name of Kenpachi after Kuruyashiki's death, then he would also be happy to accept it.

As a result, what he heard was that the Kenpachi Azashiro is a felon who was confined into the Muken and is still serving his sentence.

"I don't know much about Kenpachi Azashiro. I only know that after he surrendered, he was sentenced to the Muken by Central 46 because of the terrible things he had planned."

Mazuru looked at Ashido with a complicated expression, and said slowly.

From the fact that Ashido cares so much about the seventh Kenpachi, it can be speculated that when he was in Soul Society, he should be acquainted with the seventh generation Kenpachi, Kuruyashiki, and even maybe he was a member of Eleventh Division.

So, Mazuru simply told Ashido about the situation of the Eleventh Division.

"After Kenpachi Azashiro was imprisoned, Gosuke, who successively served as the vice-captain of seventh and eighth Kenpachi, became the Ninth generation Kenpachi of the Eleventh Division because of the special circumstances."

The name 'Gosuke' came to Ashido's ears, and he was in a daze again, "That guy Gosuke became Kenpachi..."

"It seems that he has grown up."

Ashido knew Gosuke. Gosuke was still very young when he went on the expedition to Hueco Mundo, but Kuruyashiki was very optimistic about Gosuke. He didn't expect that after seventh Kenpachi died and eighth Kenpachi was imprisoned, he would inherit Kenpachi's name.

According to Mazuru, the current Kenpachi is the eleventh generation.

According to Ashido's understanding of Gosuke, he probably died during the fight against hollows.

Just when Ashido was thinking this, he heard Mazuru say again, "Unfortunately, this ninth generation Kenpachi did not become the Kenpachi by defeating the previous Kenpachi after all. Even if he served under two generations of Kenpachi successively, his strength was still weaker. Not long after he took the role of Kenpachi, he was defeated and killed by a resident from Rukongai called Kiganjo, and then Kiganjo became the tenth generation Kenpachi."

Ashido was taken aback again, and then he sighed faintly.

There was not much sadness in his eyes.

It's just that he was feeling a little bit emotional, after being separated for so many years, he never thought about hearing news about those old people again, but each of them have already died.

It took Ashido a while to calm down, and this time he asked Mazuru, "How did the tenth Kenpachi die?"

(T.L Note: Good thing bro didn't guess again XD)

"Hacked to death by the eleventh Kenpachi."

Mazuru responded.

Ashido also understood that these generations of Kenpachi either committed felonies and went to serve their sentence, or were hacked to death by their successors. Although the inheritance of the name of Kenpachi is like this, as long as you can beat the contemporary Kenpachi, you will be the new Kenpachi. However, Ashido feels a little reluctant about such a result.

Back then, Hueco Mundo was much stronger than it is now. Eleventh Division was always in the lead as the battle team, and Kuruyashiki, as the Kenpachi, was always at the forefront of the battles between Soul Society and Hueco Mundo. His body was riddled with scars from the battles against hollow.

He always used to say with a smile that if he can choose a way to die, he will die in the battle against hollows.

In the end, unexpectedly he died in the hands of another shinigami who inherited the title Kenpachi, and the subsequent generations of Kenpachi also died in internal fighting, resulting none of them to die in battles against hollow.

After talking about the Eleventh Division, Mazuru asked Ashido, "You said earlier that you are a member from the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force, can you tell me about your situation? From your appearance, you seem to be in Hueco Mundo from the era of seventh Kenpachi."

Although Mazuru seems to be a junior, not a shinigami from seventh Kenpachi's era, but he is a captain of Gotei 13 after all, even Ashido dare not ignore his words.

He then narrated his story.

The story is not complicated.

The cause was an invasion of the Soul Society by Hueco Mundo that year. During the battle, Kenpachi Kuruyashiki beheaded a Menos Grande who was still shouting "Baraggan-sama" before he died, so it was concluded that "Baraggan" was in-charge of the Hueco Mundo's acts of aggression against the Soul Society and the present world. So, the Soul Society organized an expeditionary force to attack Hueco Mundo.

As a member of the Eleventh Division, Ashido, a good friend of Kenpachi Kuruyashiki, volunteered to join the Expeditionary Force.

The Expeditionary Force has been on the expedition to Hueco Mundo for many years. Because of the ignorance about the situation of Hueco Mundo, many shinigamis suffered heavy casualties. Ashido's teammates also sacrificed their lives to protect him.

But even so, Ashido had no idea of ​​returning to the Soul Society. He inherited the last wishes of his teammates and vows to wipe out as many hollows as possible and maintain the peace of the Soul Society and the present world, so he has been wandering in the Hueco Mundo till today.

Life in Hueco Mundo is lonely, but Ashido endured it.

After listening to Ashido's story, Mazuru couldn't help but sigh.

Although he knew Ashido because of the original plot, even the original book didn't mention too much about Ashido's past. Now that he learned that Ashido was alone in Hueco Mundo for more than a hundred years after all his teammates died. Mazuru couldn't help but think of himself.

At the beginning, he also stayed in Hueco Mundo for more than a hundred years, but he was forced to do so.

Because he was not a shinigami, nor had the abilities of shinigamis. So he can only stay in the forest of Menos Grande, and have to fight those monsters in order to survive.

Ashido, on the other hand, took the initiative to choose to stay in Hueco Mundo, in order to fulfill the wishes of his teammates and maintain the stability of the Soul Society and the present world.

Coincidentally, Mazuru has not met Ashido in all these years.

However, according to Ashido's words, it is reasonable if you think about it carefully.

Because according to Ashido, he came to the Menos Grande Forest after finding out that something unnatural had happened in the Menos Grande Forest in recent years. When Ashido came to the forest of Menos Grande, Mazuru had already left Hueco Mundo.

"Then what's next? What are you going to do? Continue to stay in Hueco Mundo and fight hollows?" After listening to Ashido's story about the past, Mazuru asked him again.

Ashido nodded and said, "I am satisfied enough to know about the Soul Society from you. Next, I am going to continue staying here and continue to fulfill the last wish of my teammates…"

Mazuru interrupted him, "I think it's better if you'd better go back to the Soul Society."
