"It seems Hinamori has made some good friends in the World of the Living," Aizen Sousuke said, looking at Kyōraku Callum beside him.
"I'll leave this to you. I'll take Hinamori back to report."
Kyōraku Callum's eyes flickered in surprise. He hadn't expected this from Aizen.
"Captain Aizen seems rather eager," Kyōraku Callum remarked.
Aizen offered an apologetic smile. "I want to report to the Central Forty-Six quickly and plead for Hinamori's leniency."
Hearing this, Hinamori Momo looked up at Aizen, a spark of hope returning to her eyes.
"Very well," Kyōraku Callum said, stepping forward, his back to Aizen. "Then Captain Aizen should proceed first."
Aizen nodded, lifting Hinamori Momo from the ground. He opened the Senkaimon, preparing to return to Soul Society.
"Wait! What are you doing?" Ishida Uryū exclaimed, alarmed. He nocked an arrow, spiritual energy gathering, ready to attack Aizen.
"Kid, who gave you permission to draw your bow?" Kyōraku Callum said, and an immense pressure instantly bore down on Ishida Uryū.
The spiritual energy swirling around Ishida Uryū's fingertips instantly dissipated under this overwhelming pressure. Even his Kojaku (Spirit Weapon) dimmed.
His mind went blank, his gaze fixed ahead.
The spiritual pressure was terrifying; he couldn't even raise his bow!
Kyōraku Callum, watching the closing Senkaimon, showed a strange expression.
"Giving hope, then casting them into the abyss? Truly, you are yourself, Aizen."
Thud!
As Kyōraku Callum's thoughts wandered, the pressure intensified, causing Ishida Uryū to collapse to his knees, then faint.
Only after Ishida Uryū's spiritual pressure faded did Kyōraku Callum realize he'd incapacitated him.
"Maybe I went a bit too far," Kyōraku Callum said, a hint of surprise in his tone.
"But Ishida Uryū won't hold it against me." He dismissed the incident.
A powerful spiritual pressure nearby caught his attention. A powerful slash landed where Ishida Uryū had fallen.
BOOM! A massive crater formed.
"Now, these youngsters," Kyōraku Callum sighed. "Such short tempers."
A delinquent boy with orange hair and an oversized Zanpakutō stood nearby. The blade looked intimidating, but the power was diffuse, lacking focus.
Kurosaki Ichigo glared at Kyōraku Callum. "Hey! What did you do to Uryū?!"
Kurosaki Ichigo hadn't witnessed the earlier events because Aizen had left quickly.
However, he still intended to defend Ishida Uryū, their friendship forged in yesterday's battle against the Gillian.
Seeing Ishida Uryū incapacitated, he couldn't stand idly by.
His original purpose had been forgotten.
"These kids these days have such poor manners," Kyōraku Callum said, a cryptic smile on his face, sensing Kurosaki Ichigo's spiritual pressure.
"You injured my friend, and you expect me to be polite?"
Kurosaki Ichigo slung his Zanpakutō over his shoulder, moving Ishida Uryū to the side of the road.
Kyōraku Callum watched without interfering.
He was curious about Kurosaki Ichigo, whose potential was among the top five.
Kyōraku Callum had observed a young Kurosaki Ichigo before, but hadn't seen anything unusual.
His soul was unique, a blend of Shinigami, Hollow, and Quincy powers, but his potential was still limited.
Now, however, Kurosaki Ichigo had undergone a dramatic transformation.
His Shinigami powers had unlocked his potential.
Endless potential emanated from him.
As Ishida Uryū had said, ordinary Shinigami or Quincy were like closed taps; once opened, a torrent of power flowed.
Kurosaki Ichigo's spiritual pressure, though seemingly dormant, was stronger than many Shinigami or Quincy in battle mode!
"Hey, who are you?" Kurosaki Ichigo asked, his brows furrowed, staring at Kyōraku Callum.
"I feel like I've seen you somewhere before."
Kyōraku Callum smiled gently. "Perhaps it's your imagination. I'm Kyōraku Callum, Fourth Division Vice-Captain."
Kurosaki Ichigo's brows furrowed even deeper. He didn't understand.
"Fourth Division, Sixth Division… I don't understand. I'm Kurosaki Ichigo, and I'm here to settle the score!"
His Zanpakutō pointed at Kyōraku Callum, spiritual pressure surging, creating an invisible aura of intimidation.
"So, you're the human who took Hinamori's power," Kyōraku Callum said, smiling.
"Former Fifth Division Vice-Captain Hinamori Momo violated Soul Society's laws by transferring her spiritual power to a human. She's been taken back to the Fifth Division for punishment. It will likely be the death penalty."
BOOM! Kurosaki Ichigo's spiritual pressure erupted uncontrollably, creating a powerful gust of wind.
"Don't look at me like that," Kyōraku Callum sighed.
"I was just following orders. And haven't your elders taught you to control yourself?"
BOOM! Crack! Thud!
A terrifying pressure, like a collapsing world, descended upon Kurosaki Ichigo.
