In fact, thinking about how the Zero Division can still receive the Spirit King’s Kaji, although the Spirit King can’t move now, certain rules still operate.
"Has the guest considered how we should approach Lan Ran? If the Bengyu is in his hands, I’m afraid he’ll undergo different transformations every day, becoming progressively stronger and increasingly troublesome..."
At this moment, Yuki Shihoin, whose identity was already cleared, couldn’t help but speak up.
Once a noble, Yuki Shihoin didn’t care much about her noble status. Having defected from the Soul Society for so many years, she places more value on her archenemy, Lan Ran!
Having gathered with his companions, Kurosaki Ichigo, who also arrived here, was awestruck by Tao Yu’s unmatched Soul Cutting Sword powers and couldn’t help but ask.
"Mr. Jack, can the situation in the Current World still change? Although there are farmlands and water near Kosu Town, if this continues long-term, I’m afraid it won’t hold."
Currently, Kosu Town isn’t in chaos due largely to the remaining supplies supporting it.
Once everything’s exhausted, solving the issue of food and drink will make Kosu Town’s situation extremely difficult.
This is the reason why cannon-fodder Pioneers from Extreme Ice City could establish themselves quickly in Kosu Town.
Because they truly can bring things from outside!
"This, I don’t think you need to worry too much about. Although the place you’re in is rather awkward, requiring sea routes for transportation, you should be thankful the neighboring world is not dangerous and has plenty of resources. Pioneers will come on their own to trade, so you needn’t be overly concerned."
Tao Yu looked at Kurosaki Ichigo, the Chosen One, staring at his Soul Cutting Sword without seeing any abnormality.
Yohaba does indeed have a few tricks up his sleeve.
"This matter is the same for the Soul Society. I think you need to slightly emphasize using the Current World as a base. You should know Kosu Town is the only place left in the Current World. A major problem there may cause an imbalance, irrecoverable even by the Spirit King across the Three Realms."
Tao Yu glanced at Yamamoto.
"We’ll heed the guest’s advice on this. With Guardian Court Thirteen Divisions no longer shackled by the 46 Chambers, I’ll arrange for every division to have someone stationed in the Current World, and the remaining Captains should rotate as Guardians."
Old Man Yamamoto heeds advice, or at least Tao Yu’s advice, and made a decision right then with no constraints.
He made the decision alone.
No Captain raised objections.
He also looked towards Yuki.
"I apologize we didn’t investigate sooner, causing you grievances. Now the Guardian Court Thirteen Divisions are severely damaged. Would you and young Urahara be willing to return and assume Captain duties?"
Three Captains defected, leaving Guardian Court Thirteen Divisions shorthanded now!
Yuki who originally had a rebellious nature didn’t like such constraints either.
But with the Abyss invaded, leaving only one city in the Current World, coupled with experiences entering the Soul Society, he hesitated briefly but ultimately refused, saying.
"There’s no need for me to be Captain, but being a former noble and now what you call a ’sinner,’ I’ll still contribute when needed. As for Urahara..., you can ask him, but I expect it’ll be about the same."
"It will be enough if you can contribute. Without the 46 Chambers’ constraints, we don’t need such formalities."
Old Man Yamamoto, though rigid, isn’t inflexible. He relaxes when it’s necessary, without pushing too hard.
Given the circumstances now, likely needing to unite all possible forces.
"What Yuki mentioned earlier is quite right. If Lan Ran strengthens every moment after obtaining the Bengyu, we’ll need to quickly expedition the Hollow Realm to resolve the Lan Ran issue."
Actively striking, eliminating threats, is the correct approach!
Previously, in the Soul Society, Yamamoto felt very hindered.
With only one city remaining, it’s certainly unsuitable as a battlefield.
As such, only the already desolate Hollow Realm remains.
Defending outside the door is always better than the battlefield erupting on the homeland—breaking bottles won’t be upsetting...
In the Current World, above the raging sea outside Kosu Town, a large wooden sailing ship is navigating towards Kosu Town, using its sails.
With each rise and fall amidst the ocean waves, massive amounts of seawater surge onto the deck.
On the deck are numerous agile Pioneers, maintaining the ship’s voyage.
"Lower the sails, hold the ropes!"
The physical abilities of ordinary Pioneers are insignificant against Natural Power.
Occasionally, sea waves rush up the deck, knocking some people over.
However, in terms of agility, they are much stronger than ordinary people. Many powerful ones pull ropes amid the waves, causing the ship to creak.
"Haven’t seen it yet?"
Beside the giant helm, a bearded man with a wet face wipes his face, spits out the briny seawater, and shouts loudly at the silhouette atop the lookout tower.
"We’ve seen the supply platform ahead; Kosu Town should be right in front."
A faint voice from the lookout tower with the lookout’s answer drifted down.
Hearing this, the bearded captain was relieved, then complained to the sturdy helmsman nearby.
