Bleach: No cheat codes, he joined Aizen's side.

Chapter 151, Page 149. This man is their miracle.
Hueco Mundo, through the portal secretly opened by Mayuri Kurotsuchi, brought Shuichi Higashino and Osh Yushima together.

Although Tsuna said he would help spread the news about the Arrancar, this news could not have come out of thin air; it needed a trigger, namely a real Arrancar attack.

Originally, Tsunayoshi Tokinada's idea was to wait until after the actual Arrancar attack before spreading rumors, but Higashino Shuichi thought it was unnecessary because he had a good opportunity to conduct an experimental project on modifying souls.

Under the guise of investigating Hueco Mundo, he transferred most of the high-level Shinigami forces from Soul Society, which conveniently created conditions for his experimental plan.

Therefore, Higashino Shuichi decided to go all out and take matters into his own hands.

Of course, before doing this job, Higashino Shuichi did not forget to ask his former employer, Aizen Sousuke, for a friendly consultation.

All he received was Aizen's disdain for Tsunayoshiro Tokinada and a perfunctory approval.

For Aizen, the Hollows in Hueco Mundo were nothing more than dispensable experimental products. In any case, those Arrancar that failed in the experiments would be naturally eliminated anyway. Now that Higashino Shuichi and the others were taking action, it actually saved them the trouble of dealing with them.

In short, they're all useless, but if Higashino Shuichi can make better use of them, then it's not impossible.

In principle, as long as Shuichi Higashino doesn't kill Szayelaporro, his research assistant, he can do whatever he wants with the Hollows in Hueco Mundo, including top-tier Arrancar like Stark and Barragan, as long as he can handle them. Aizen will absolutely not step in to help.

This also aligns with Higashino Shuichi's imagination of Aizen, the big boss.

Back then, if it weren't for Higashino Shuichi's own efforts and the demonstration of his value, he would have been used as expendable material and disappeared silently from this world during that incident where he tried to drag the Zero Division down by taking advantage of the Kasumioji family's rebellion.

"Shuichi, is this Hueco Mundo?"

As his feet first touched the vast white sands of Hueco Mundo, Yujima Osh said with some excitement.

He never expected that Lord Shuichi would bring him to Hueco Mundo for training.

That day, Yushima Osh was focused on the final inspection of the first modified soul. When he heard Shuichi suggest to Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi that he bring him to Hueco Mundo, Yushima Osh thought he was dreaming.

He believed that only after the soul-transformation project was successful could he make Hideaki see his value and then continue to teach him.

did not expect.
As expected, Lord Shuichi still cares about me!
"Hmm, is this your first time here?"

"Higashino Shuichi asked."

"Yes! Thank you, Lord Hideaki, for giving me this opportunity! I will definitely work hard!"

Yujima Oshu said excitedly.

Looking at Yujima Osh's appearance, Higashino Shuichi felt that Yujima Osh was a little too excited. He was just thinking that since he was going to just grab a Hollow to take back anyway, it would be too simple and boring to do it himself. He might as well take this opportunity to give Yujima Osh a good guidance so that he wouldn't mess up the plan in the future.

After learning from Yujima Osh that he still hadn't mastered Bankai, Higashino Shuichi's expectations for Yujima Osh to be the big boss in his upcoming soul modification project were significantly lowered.

It's important to understand that while the overall combat strength of the Gotei 13 may have decreased somewhat compared to a decade or so ago, the decrease is still limited. Higashino Shuichi doesn't want Yujima Oshi to surrender after only a few seconds, as that would make him lose face when he tries to rescue him.

You're going to turn against Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni just because of such a useless Shinigami?!
At least, Shuichi Higashino didn't want to hear such words from Tsunayoshiro Kanbara.

Hueco Mundo wasn't particularly large, but it wasn't small either. After bringing Yujima Osh to Hueco Mundo, Higashino Shuichi instructed Yujima Osh on how to perform Bankai with his Zanpakuto, and also helped him answer some questions he had accumulated about Kido from the past, while the two steadily made their way towards Las Noches.

Soon, Higashino Shuichi sensed several extremely powerful spiritual pressures approaching them.

"What's wrong, Lord Xiuyi?"

Seeing that Higashino Shuichi beside him had suddenly stopped, Yujima Ouko asked curiously.

"You've come over."

"Hideichi Higashino said softly, then extended his right hand forward and deftly snapped his fingers,"
Binding Path No. 26, Curved Light!
In an instant, an invisible layer of spiritual energy covered Higashino Shuichi and Yujima Oshu, and the two of them became one with the surrounding environment.

"Lord Shuichi, didn't you say that this Kido is pretty useless? Generally, as long as a Shinigami has even a slightly sharp sense of spirituality, this Kido, which can only obscure vision, is practically useless."

In response, Yujima Ouko carefully recalled Higashino Shuichi's past teachings to him and discovered the problem.

"Yes, that's generally true, but that's in Soul Society, not Hueco Mundo."

The concentration of spiritual particles in Hueco Mundo is far higher than in Soul Society, and most Hollows haven't received training in spiritual perception. Therefore, using Curved Light is sufficient to deal with most Hollows.

Higashino Shuichi explained to Yujima Oshu with great satisfaction.

As they spoke, those powerful spiritual pressures appeared in the field of vision of both Higashino Shuichi and Yujima Oshu.

Judging from the explosive lines on their bodies, it is quite obvious that the four female Arrancars are currently on the run, and the one chasing them is only a male Arrancar in good condition.

Quite coincidentally, Higashino Shuichi discovered that he knew all five Arrancar.

The one with the most severe injuries, whose entire left arm had turned to bone, with brown skin, emerald green eyes, and a full bust, whose white clothing only covered the upper half of her chest, should be Tia Halibel, the future Espada No. 3. However, when Higashino Shuichi's gaze swept over the lower part of her right chest, he found that there was no number there, indicating that Halibel should not have become one of the Espada at this time.

Following closely beside Halibel, on the left, is Emilyu Apache, with short, dark blue-black Egyptian princess-style hair, a deep red left eye, and a mask shaped like a rhinoceros horn.

On the right is Sun Sun, who has long hair with dark green bangs and three round beauty marks arranged from top to bottom on the right side of her face.
The tall, muscular female Arrancar, Francesca Mila Rhodes, with her explosive figure and long black curly hair, was hanging behind the three. She was also seriously injured, but when she realized that the male Arrancar behind her was about to catch up, she resolutely slowed down, wanting to use her own body to buy time for the other three to escape.
As for the male Arrancar who was chasing him, Higashino Shuichi had a strong impression of him, or rather, it would be difficult for him not to.

Have you heard of Death Barbie?
This male Arrancar, Charlotte Krufon, is Barragan's chief subordinate. Despite having explosive muscle lines all over his body, he always likes to dress up as a pink Barbie princess.

If it were just that, it would be fine; at most, it would be like Ayasegawa Yumichika in the middle of the void, which Higashino Shuichi could tolerate. But this Arrancar looks particularly wild, to the point that Higashino Shuichi once found it difficult to look at this Arrancar directly.

With this combination of five Arrancars, plus the obvious signs of aging on Halibel and the others, Higashino Shuichi knew without a doubt what had happened.

It must be because Halibel once again refused Barragan's offer of recruitment, which aroused Barragan's extreme dissatisfaction with Halibel, leading to Barragan directly attacking Halibel and his companions.

This is something that could theoretically happen, because Higashino Shuichi remembers that in the original story, it was mentioned that Harribel, before she underwent Aizen's Arrancar transformation and was still a Vasto Lorde-class Hollow, refused Barragan's invitation because she believed that she "did not want to gain power to become stronger by killing other Hollows."

Even later in the original storyline, when Halibel chose to join the Espada because Aizen had saved her life, she genuinely loathed the other Espada and their subordinates, led by Szayelaporro. The latter's inhumane experiments on the other Hollows were something she could never condone.

Simply put, Halibel is an absolute outlier among all Hollows; in some ways, he could be considered a "good Hollow."
Of course, good and bad cannot be defined so simply, but now there is a real problem facing Higashino Shuichi.

So, who are we helping?
Is it the four people from Halibel, or Charlotte Crufon, Barragán's chief subordinate, or is it someone who takes them all?

Higashino Shuichi recalled his past experiences of being harassed by Barragan under various pretexts every time he came to Hueco Mundo.

Never mind, it doesn't seem like a big problem. "Oux."

"Here! Master Xiuichi!"

"That grotesque-looking male Arrancar is yours!"

Shuichi Higashino swears that there is absolutely no personal grudge involved!

Meanwhile, on the other side, Halibel saw Mira Rhodes deliberately fall half a step behind, trying to stop Charlotte Kurufen. He immediately stopped and turned around to roar at Mira Rhodes, "Mira! Who told you to cover the rear? Get behind me!"

However, this time, Mila Rhodes, who always obeyed Halibel, stubbornly refused to turn around. "Halibel, please don't worry about me!"

After saying that, Mira Rhodes raised her greatsword-shaped Zanpakuto with one hand, intending to meet Charlotte Krufon.

"Damn it, Mila!"

Halibel wanted to stop Mira Rhodes, but found himself unable to do so. He had been seriously injured by Barragan, the No. 2 Espada, when he tried to protect Mira Rhodes, Sun Sun, and Apache from Las Noches. Now, he could hardly even use Sonija, let alone release his Zanpakuto.

The reason they were able to escape here with Mira Rhodes and Sun Sun was entirely due to Charlotte Krufong's deliberate manipulation of them in this way.

Although she felt helpless and resentful, Halibel knew that she could only accept this humiliating mockery and hope for an impossible miracle to happen.

But will a miracle really happen?

"Oh dear, why did you stop running? Is Charlotte Kurufeng chasing you too closely?"

It's okay, Charlotte Krufung can go a little slower~
oops?

Not only are they not running away, but they also want to launch a counterattack against me?

"Then let me show you the beautiful Charlotte Krufon, her perfect, dashing, captivating, versatile, economical, European, superhuman, and amazing flash attack!"

Charlotte Kurufeng looked down at Mira Rhodes, who was charging towards him with a death-defying gait, and with a "flamboyant" smile, unleashed her powerful flashing slash at Mira Rhodes.

Mila!

Halibel had taken Charlotte Krufon's slash before, so she knew that even Mira Rhodes in her prime might not have been able to withstand that attack, let alone now, in a state like hers, with one arm crippled.

And Mila Rhodes certainly knew that too.

But at this moment, she felt no fear.

At the very least, don't let yourself become a burden to Lord Halibel, right?

If I weren't there, Lord Halibel's chances of escaping would be much greater, wouldn't they?

Mila Rhodes thought so.

However, at that moment, a clear, cold male voice seemed to appear from the void, coming from behind Halibel and the others.

"Eighty One of the Binding Dao, Duan Kong!"

Before the words had even faded, a transparent spiritual barrier formed between Mira Rhodes and Charlotte Krufung.

In the center of that transparent spiritual wall, the jet-black eight-petaled flower appeared exceptionally alluring.

Charlotte Kurufen's slashes were like cotton balls in front of this solid spiritual barrier, utterly vulnerable.

"Binding Dao? Death?!"

Charlotte Kurufen looked in shock toward the source of the voice, only to find that what stood there was not a Grim Reaper at all, but a Hollow who had not yet broken through to the surface, wearing a pale white skull mask.

However, the man with dark green hair standing next to him looked like a typical Grim Reaper.

"Who are you? Why has Charlotte Kurufen never seen you before?"

As Barragan's chief subordinate, Charlotte Krufon believed that he had heard of most of the powerful Hollows in Hueco Mundo, but he had never seen this Hollow who could use Shinigami Kido before, which was very unreasonable.

"Humph"

However, Charlotte Kurufeng was only met with a cold snort from Higashino Shuichi, and the silent incantation of Yujima Osh, whose Kido had been brewing for a long time and had been perfectly developed by Higashino Shuichi, which had been teaching him.

"A faint, murky emblem reveals an untamed and arrogant talent; a surge of negation, paralysis, a fleeting moment, hindering eternal slumber. The crawling Iron Princess, the self-mutilating clay doll, unites, rebounds, extends to the ground, knowing its own powerlessness!"
"Hado #90, Black Coffin!"

The pitch-black coffin suddenly rose from the ground beneath Charlotte Kurufen's feet, and then, to Charlotte Kurufen's astonishment, swallowed him whole.

"I succeeded!"

Seeing that he had hit Yushima Osh with one strike, he was as excited as a child.

"The battle isn't over yet, Osh!"

Higashino Shuichi shook his head and said with a hint of helplessness.

Upon hearing Higashino Hideichi's reminder, Yujima Oshi immediately stopped what he was doing, quickly apologized to Higashino Hideichi, and then drew his Zanpakuto and rushed towards the huge coffin.

He completely ignored Halibel and his companions throughout, leaving Halibel staring at Higashino Shuichi in astonishment, somewhat at a loss for what to do.

Are these two enemies?

probably?

After all, one of them was a Shinigami (Death God), and the Hollow that used the "Danku" technique to save Mira didn't look like a normal Hollow.

But why would they save themselves?
Countless questions swirled in Halibel's mind, but when Yushima Okyuu really walked past them without even glancing at them, Halibel silently glanced at Higashino Shuichi, and then led Sun Sun, Apache, and Mira toward Higashino Shuichi.

At least for now, this man may truly be their miracle.
