In a dark alley,
Wig Guy was disheveled and panting. His clothes were also messy, making him look quite a mess. But he looked pretty good, with a somewhat pleased expression.
Wig Guy: Hahahaha! You're so naive, Gintoki! You think you can catch me with just the Shinsengumi? I, Wig Guy, am not famous for nothing when it comes to running away!
Doujin Artist: Ugh, I'd rather not have that kind of title!
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Yeah, what's so great about that kind of title? Just being able to run away is meaningless, right?
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: For Wig Guy, that's enough to make him happy.
Wig Guy: Hmph! Tremble, mortals! I, Wig Guy, can't be knocked down by any difficulty! I'm the best at running away in this world!
Lin Fengjiao: The best at running away… sounds pretty embarrassing.
Curly-haired Guy: Oh, really? Well, congratulations, Mr. Best.
Wig Guy: Disappointed, aren't you, Gintoki! Tell me, are you disappointed?
Curly-haired Guy: Yeah, I'm so disappointed I could cry. I'm going to play with my marbles now. Talk to you later.
Shark-Faced Guy: You're still playing marbles? Aren't you afraid of losing your underwear?
Curly-haired Guy: Sorry to say, I've won a lot these past two weeks. Enough to buy two PS5s, at least. Too bad, I'm out of trouble now. Wig Guy, you won't get your PS5.
Wig Guy: You bastard! You're a social scum with no samurai honor, selling out your friends!
Curly-haired Guy: I'll give that back to you, along with a gag.
Machete Girl: A gag?
This is an Actor: You guys are really something.
Soul Society's Villain: Indeed. But I'd like to see what a guy with a gag looks like.
Doujin Artist: Wait a minute! Flower, do you know what a gag is? No way!
Soul Society's Villain: Yes, I do. The Soul Society isn't as closed off as you might think. There are plenty of those kinds of books in the reading room.
Amegakure Village's Angel: Right! I used to see a lot of those comics in the squad barracks reading room, and even fan comics about Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro!
Doujin Artist: What? The Soul Society has people like that?
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: That completely changes everything.
Soul Society's Villain: Who's the author?
Amegakure Village's Angel: Their pen name is EyeKagami Cat. I don't know who they really are.
Pretty Boy from Skull Island: EyeKagami? Is that the lieutenant of the Eighth Division? Her name is Nanao, right?
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: That's probably her. Given her relationship with Kyoraku Shunsui, she's the most likely.
Doujin Artist: So that girl's also into boy's love, huh? You'd never guess.
Curly-haired Guy: That shows you can't judge a book by its cover. There are plenty of people who seem nice on the outside but are twisted freaks on the inside. Like Wig Guy. Who would have thought a weak-looking guy who likes dressing as a girl would also be into married women?
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Haha, that example!
Wig Guy: Yeah, and no one would have thought that the guy with the silver curly hair would like men's butts.
Curly-haired Guy: Hmph, Wig Guy's learned to fight back, has he? It's okay. If you can actually make me, Gin-san, mad, I'll admit defeat!
Wig Guy: The safe you kept hidden in the walls of the Odd Jobs place? I took it.
Silence.
Sakata Gintoki froze for a moment, then quickly stood up from in front of the little marble machine. He rushed out of the shop like a storm, heading towards the Odd Jobs place: You bastard, put it back!
Doujin Artist: Hahahahaha, you said you wouldn't get mad! You're too real, Gin!
This is an Actor: It's not that he's mad, he's just furious.
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: He's really furious. I can see why. That's his lifeline! He kept it hidden in the walls of the Odd Jobs place.
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: I wonder how Wig Guy found it.
Wig Guy: It was nothing. I just lured the Shinsengumi over and had them blow up the Odd Jobs place with a rocket launcher.
Pretty Boy from Skull Island: …
Lin Fengjiao: I have to say, you two are talented!
Doujin Artist: The level of mutual harm is almost extreme. That's what it's like to be friends who were once patriots! I love it!
Amegakure Village's Angel: It seems like patriot friends are all like that. Isn't there also Takasugi Shinsuke?
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: Thinking about it, that does seem to be the case.
Curly-haired Guy: Wig Guy, you son of a gun, give me back my hard-earned money!
Wig Guy: Hmph. This is your punishment, Gintoki! This is your punishment for being disloyal to your friends. You can watch me spend all your gambling money and bring back two lovely PS5s! [Image]
Doujin Artist: Seriously, you really went to a PS5 store.
Wig Guy: Hmph, of course. That's why this is a punishment.
Curly-haired Guy: Punishment, my foot! You're also being disloyal to your friends! I was just one step ahead of you!
Wig Guy: There's no point in saying anything now. My PS5 is almost here! Hahahaha!
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Speaking of which, doesn't that photo reveal your location? And you're smiling so happily?
Wig Guy: Huh?
This is an Actor: This guy's hopeless. He can't even be a good thief.
Doujin Artist: He's completely lost it, that's for sure.
This is an Actor: Yeah. Getting too carried away is the root of failure.
Sending a message, Uchiha Madara looked up. The gaze from his bright red eyes seemed to pierce through layers of space, and the majestic palace of Hueco Mundo appeared in his eyelids.
"My network of thought is complete, Lord Aizen." Grimmjow, wearing a white Arrancar uniform and with the lower half of his face covered by a bone mask, knelt on one knee and said respectfully.
This former Quincy had been perfectly transformed into an Arrancar by Aizen, and in the process, his mind and body had completely surrendered to Aizen, becoming his follower.
But even after being transformed into an Arrancar, Grimmjow's Quincy abilities had not diminished at all. In fact, they had been strengthened.
Like right now.
Grimmjow could fully use his ability to imagine things to completely monitor the entire Karakura Town and Soul Society, and because it was an illusionary ability, almost no one could detect it.
"Thank you for your hard work, Grimmjow." Aizen, sitting on his throne, narrowed his eyes and praised, "Now, please tell me about the interesting things you've seen."
Opening his eyes, it was clear that there were small multiple pupils around his eyes. This was a sign that his all-knowing and all-powerful abilities were about to awaken.
