Chapter 271: Chapter 271: Reunion In Las Noches
'It feels cold...'
All kinds of messy voices came into his ears, and some forgotten memory fragments flickered in his mind, and finally, it turned into Yachiru's crying voice.
'Who is it?'
'Who is it that's making Yachiryu cry?'
'Is it that arrancar named Szayelaporro? I'm going to kill him!'
As soon as this thought passed through his mind, Zaraki opened his eyes.
Yachiru's face with tears came into his vision, and at the same time, another familiar figure also appeared in his vision.
"You're already awake."
This familiar figure said so with a gentle voice.
Zaraki subconsciously wanted to get up to comfort the crying Yachiru but before he could move his body and do so, a burst of severe pain hit him.
"Don't move for now, I just bandaged your wounds."
Unohana spoke lightly, and couldn't help but sigh, "Captain Zaraki is really lucky, you didn't die immediately after receiving such a powerful attack head-on."
One couldn't tell if she was joking or really sighing.
But Unohana did think that there was a bit of good luck. After all, it would be a pity if Zaraki was killed by such a guy before he awakened and regained his true power.
"Where's that guy named Szayelaporro?"
Zaraki asked Unohana.
"He seems to have escaped." Unohana narrowed her eyes slightly and responded.
She lamented that Zaraki was lucky, but that arrancar named Szayelaporro was also equally lucky. Szayelaporro was previously rescued because of the arrancar named Beelzebub.
Now, taking the advantage of the fact that there immediate concern was Zaraki, Szayelaporro escaped again.
'However, if there is a next time, he cannot be allowed to escape.'
During the conversation between Unohana and Zaraki.
Byakuya was also confronting another shinigami.
Ichinose Maki.
Szayelaporro used Gran Rey Cero before, because he was dragged aside by Yachiru in time, he didn't get any frontal damage, so he also survived by luck.
While healing Zaraki, Unohana also bandaged him.
"Looking at you, you seem to be a shinigami, that is, a member of Gotei 13."
"But as far as I know, Seireitei didn't send any other shinigami apart from us this time."
Byakuya stared sharply at Maki, "Can you tell me how you came to Hueco Mundo?"
"..."
Maki listened to Byakuya's words with a complicated expression.
Before, he thought that Zaraki was a despicable person, and he used underhanded means to defeat Kiganjo Kenpachi.
But now, after experiencing a battle against Zaraki himself and seeing the battle between Zaraki and Szayelaporro with his own eyes, his heart gradually began to realize something.
'Zaraki Kenpachi is really strong.'
Moreover, if Yachiru hadn't rescued him and dragged him aside in time, he might have died already.
…
Las Noches, in the main hall.
Even if Sojiro was there with Mazuru, it still couldn't change the fact that the place was quite deserted.
Mazuru was sitting calmly on the throne, and Sojiro had found a seat for himself and was sitting there.
Neither of them said a word to another.
Soon dull footsteps sounded, and a figure came there in a state of embarrassment. That figure had only one arm left. In his remaining hand, there was a purple sphere. He was walking towards their side while gnawing on it.
It seemed that by gnawing on that purple spherical object, he regained some strength, so he was able to arrive there.
Szayelaporro, after eating his first subordinate officer, finally ate the second subordinate officer also as a recovery option.
"You look really embarrassing."
Looking at Szayelaporro who came there, Mazuru sighed softly.
Szayelaporro's complexion sank further when he heard Mazuru's words.
However, after arriving there, he undoubtedly felt a little more secure.
Even if that group of shinigami rushed there, after discovering Mazuru, the traitor of the Soul Society, he should be the one who should be dealt with first by them.
Szayelaporro was even looking forward to the scene of that group of shinigami and Mazuru facing off.
So ignoring Mazuru's words, Szayelaporro planned to rest there for a while before returning to his palace to completely heal his wounds.
But Mazuru didn't seem to plan to let him go.
"I thought you could bring me some surprises. But now, it seems that you fell out of the Espada back then was not due to any accidents. Weakness is your original sin..."
"Humph!"
Hearing Mazuru's frank talk about his weaknesses, Szayelaporro became angry immediately.
Mazuru looked at the angry Szayelaporro and stood up from the throne.
Then, he draw his sword.
His figure flashed and came to Szayelaporro in an instant.
Even though Szayelaporro was aware of the danger and reacted subconsciously, Mazuru's attack was just too fast.
Almost to the point that his reaction was completely in vain.
The sword pierced his heart successfully without any problem.
His heart was stabbed, and the strength he recovered from swallowing another subordinate immediately disappeared. Szayelaporro lowered his head, his eyes were full of disbelief.
"You…!"
"What are you babbling about?" Mazuru met Szayelaporro's eyes, "You have already lost your value, so it's better for you to die."
After saying so, Mazuru pulled out his sword, and blood gushed out of Szayelaporro's body.
Even though Szayelaporro was struggling hard and wanted to grab Mazuru with his only remaining arm to give him a hard blow, Mazuru's speed was too fast for him. When his arm reached out, Mazuru had already moved back, Szayelaporro wasn't even able to touch his clothes.
Unwilling and aggrieved, Szayelaporro's body slowly lay on the ground and lost its vitality.
Sojiro was also a little surprised when he saw Mazuru's sudden attack and the death of Szayelaporro, "I didn't expect you to kill him."
"As I mentioned earlier, he has lost his value completely after his series of defeats."
In plain words, Szayelaporro had never been of any value to Mazuru.
The reason why Szayelaporro was sent to deal with Zaraki was just because of Mazuru's bad taste, and when he lost and escaped here, he had lost his last value.
After killing Szayelaporro, Mazuru continued sitting on the throne and waited silently.
Sojiro didn't know what Mazuru was waiting for, but he chose to accompany him in his wait.
After waiting for a while, several figures came there.
Among them, there were wounded people, and naturally there were also unharmed people.
Mazuru looked at the two people, Byakuya and Unohana, standing at the front with a complex look on his face.
"They are finally here…"
