Chapter 240 The Abused Ichigo

"Captain, I'm here. I chose not to accept the Head Captain's order to return to Soul Society. It's not their fault, it's my own decision."

"After all, you also know that after returning to Soul Society, I'm bound to be asked about Rukia's matter. When the time comes, should I say it or not?"

Yezai's figure suddenly appeared on top of the wall.

The moment he saw Yezai, Kuchiki Byakuya, who had always been calm, showed a change in his expression for the first time.

The other party was so close to them, but they couldn't sense his existence at all!

Yezai jumped down the wall and walked behind Unohana obediently, looking like he was waiting to be scolded.

Unohana wasn't surprised by Yezai's actions at all.

Because her impression of Yezai was the image of a "good boy".

Choosing not to return to Soul Society in order to protect his friends was indeed Yezai's character.

"Stand aside. This time, it's not up to me. The Head Captain will naturally punish you when we return.

But I think it's not impossible for you to face the wall for a year when you return this time. "

Yezai's crime wasn't much. At most, it was an act of disobedience. Other than the first time, he didn't break the Soul Society's laws.

But if it was Rukia, it would be hard for her to escape …

"Rukia, come back with us. Abarai, take care of that Shinigami."

Kuchiki Byakuya looked at Rukia and declared ruthlessly.

In fact, it wasn't that he was heartless, but as one of the Four Noble Families of Soul Society, their every action was a role model.

And Kuchiki Byakuya valued his family's glory above everything else. In order to not tarnish his family's reputation, he had to bring Rukia back.

As for Rukia's crime, Kuchiki Byakuya believed that with the Kuchiki Family's status in Soul Society and his identity as the Captain.

The Central 46 would at least give him some face.

But the prerequisite was that Rukia had to come back with him to plead guilty.

If she stayed with this kid, it wouldn't be him who came to capture Rukia next time.

Hearing Kuchiki Byakuya's words, Kurosaki Ichigo was naturally unhappy.

The other party's tone was even worse than his foot.

One had to know that before he became a Shinigami, he and Chad were the bosses of Karakura.

Although Kuchiki Byakuya did look like a pretty boy, Kurosaki Ichigo wanted to use facts to tell him that he was still the prettiest boy in Karakura!

Previously, Kurosaki Ichigo had given him face because he was Rukia's brother.

Now that the other party was determined to take Rukia away, Kurosaki Ichigo wouldn't sit still and wait for his death.

Yezai, that bastard, was so arrogant. Yet, he was standing obediently behind that woman. Coupled with the gaze that made him feel as if he had fallen into an abyss, even a fool would know that this big sister was not to be trifled with.

The situation was not optimistic, but Kurosaki Ichigo said that he already had a good plan in mind.

The red-haired one with a face mask seemed to be the weakest among them, and he didn't seem to be very smart either.

Only by defeating him and holding him hostage would he be able to take Rukia away.

"Captain, leave this guy to me."

Renji Abarai did intend to make a move. After all, among the three people that came, two of them were captains. A mere newbie who became a Shinigami not long ago didn't require the captains to make a move.

Abarai took the initiative to stand out, which was exactly what Kurosaki Ichigo wanted.

But after a short hand-to-hand battle, Kurosaki Ichigo realized that the underling he expected was actually stronger than him.

If it wasn't for Kurosaki Ichigo working hard to kill Hollows, he would have been killed by Abarai with his previous level.

However, Kurosaki Ichigo had already reached a certain standard.

Abarai, who had 80% of his strength sealed in the modern world, couldn't take down his opponent in a short period of time.

And as time passed, Kurosaki Ichigo's cheat instinct was activated again. From being completely suppressed by Abarai to being evenly matched now.

"This Shinigami's aptitude is very good. He actually learned Abarai's combat skills during the battle.

And with such an abnormal Zanpakuto, its Reiatsu is also quite outstanding. It's hard to imagine that he just became a Shinigami not long ago. "

Unohana, who was a master of swordsmanship, commented from the side.

Although the battle between Abarai and Kurosaki Ichigo was like a child's circus in front of her.

But this didn't stop her from noticing Kurosaki Ichigo's amazing potential.

Two Zanpakuto of different proportions clashed in the night, and sparks flew from time to time.

"Hey, this so-called Vice-Captain of yours isn't that great at all.

From the looks of it, only by defeating you and then your Captain, you guys won't be able to take Rukia away. "

Kurosaki Ichigo looked at Abarai Renji, who was right in front of him, and said.

The two Zanpakuto clashed together. Abarai and Kurosaki Ichigo were wrestling, and the Reiatsu on their bodies began to clash fiercely.

When Ichigo was being beaten up before, Abarai Renji mocked him.

He talked about the difference in strength between an ordinary Shinigami and a Captain …

Kurosaki Ichigo had a lot of injuries on his body, but he had already found the rhythm, and he even had the strength to mock Abarai Renji.

"Don't be arrogant. Do you think you can challenge a Captain in the future with this little strength?"

Abarai Renji was also quite unhappy. Originally, it wasn't difficult for him to kill Kurosaki Ichigo.

But 80% of his Reiatsu was sealed, and he could only accept Kurosaki Ichigo's mockery.

Moreover, Kurosaki Ichigo said that he would defeat his Captain.

Kuchiki Byakuya was his idol, and for the past hundred years, Abarai Renji had always regarded Kuchiki  Byakuya as his goal.

And now, Kurosaki Ichigo said that he would defeat Kuchiki  Byakuya, which completely angered Abarai Renji.

"Kid, I'll let you see the true ability of Zanpakuto. It's never a reckless slash."

After Kurosaki Ichigo's Zanpakuto knocked him away, Abarai Renji took the opportunity to increase the distance between them, and his Reiatsu began to rise.

Then, Abarai Renji pressed his hand on his Zanpakuto.

"Howl, Zabimaru!"

A storm caused by spiritual pressure calmed down, and what entered Kurosaki Ichigore's eyes was Abarai Renji, whose spiritual pressure had skyrocketed, and Zanpakuto, whose appearance had changed drastically.

Abarai Renji's Zanpakuto, which was originally an ordinary long sword, suddenly turned into a broadsword in the shape of a hatchet.

Then, Kurosaki Ichigo only saw Abarai Renji swinging his Zanpakuto, and before his body could react, he felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder, and a splash of blood flew into the air.

He couldn't see the trajectory of the Zanpakuto at all …
