Crossover Anime: Starting with Bankai from Demon Slayer

Chapter 320 It's none of my business

Asuka pulled Shinobu Kocho to her side, looking at the group of Shinigami captains she was meeting for the first time: "My original goal was to find her and then take her away from this wretched place."

"Whether it's one king and five dukes or the War of the Eight Princes, these are all matters for you Grim Reapers to handle."

As she spoke, Asuka sighed, "Although encountering Aizen and fighting him this time was unexpected... it's lucky that that bastard got away."

"Once I've settled things with Ren, I'll naturally go and settle accounts with him."

"As for who is in charge of your Soul Court, who manages affairs, and who wants to rebel..."

""

He shrugged and gave Haiyan beside him a dismissive look: "What's it to me?"

"What kind of talk is that?!"

Renji, who had just been awakened from his coma with the help of Captain Kuchiki, was originally worried about the Dark Ages.

Hearing Asuka's indifferent attitude, he retorted with dissatisfaction, "Don't you know that if the Soul Society falls into chaos, the human world will also be affected?!"

"Abarai! Shut up!" Kaien grabbed the impulsive Renji and shook his head at him.

During the time he spent with Asuka, he had become very clear about the grudge between Asuka and Death.

The fact that they only targeted Aizen and didn't extend their attacks to the system shows that they were very understanding.

"He certainly has the right to say such things." Yoruichi also stepped forward, blocking Renji's path: "He doesn't owe Soul Society anything; this is indeed our own business."

Asuka nodded, acknowledging her kindness: "Anyway, once this mess is cleaned up a bit, I'll take her away."

He lowered his head and looked at Shinobu Kocho: "Would you like to come with me?"

Shinobu Kocho nodded without hesitation: "Wherever you go, I'll go."

"Whether in this world or another... I never want to be separated from you again."

But her eyes suddenly darkened.

"But...

""

If she leaves, what will happen to Hina? What will happen to the Lord and the others?

Asuka noticed her concerns and gently patted her head: "Don't worry, if Kagaya's family is willing, I'll bring them back to the mortal world as well."

"Let's stay with that shady merchant for now, and then I'll figure something out. It's definitely better than staying here."

His promise was like a reassurance, making Shinobu Kocho feel much more at ease.

Watching the two of them plan their "elopement" route as if no one else was around, the team leaders present looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Even the most mature among them, Kyoraku Shunsui, shook his head helplessly.

Although he desperately wanted to keep this mysterious combatant to deal with the ensuing chaos, he had no right to force an unofficial Grim Reaper to stay.

In this awkward atmosphere.

A faint sound of wings flapping through the air arose.

A butterfly, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, hovered above everyone's heads.

That was no ordinary butterfly, nor was it the hell butterfly used by the Grim Reapers to send messages.

It was a golden-white butterfly that exuded a sacred aura when its wings fluttered.

"What's that?" Ichigo stared curiously at the golden-white butterfly.

But the moment he opened his mouth, he was surprised to find...

The expressions of the seasoned captains around them changed at the same time.

"This is..." Ukitake Jushiro blurted out instinctively.

Kyoraku Shunsui abandoned all his nonchalance, stood up straight, and watched the butterflies fluttering about seriously.

Yoruichi's golden cat-like eyes stared at the butterfly in surprise: "...Did you manage to disturb them?"

After circling in the air a few times, the golden-white butterfly seemed to have identified its target.

It slowly descended and, under everyone's watchful eyes, gently landed on the bird's shoulder.

The bird frowned.

He looked at the insect that was perched on his shoulder, emitting a blinding light, and wanted to reach out and flick it away.

"Don't move! Flying Bird!"

Haiyan roared, her voice distorted.

"Why are you making such a fuss?" Asuka paused, looking at Seiyan with a puzzled expression.

"Don't move! That's... the decree of the Spirit King's Palace!"

As Fukutake began to explain, he looked at the golden-white butterfly, his usually gentle eyes now filled with awe.

"Those are the messenger butterflies that only the Zero Division, the royal guard unit stationed at the highest point of Soul Society and directly serving the Soul King, can command!"

"Squad Zero?!" Asuka asked, puzzled.

Don't you Soul Reign have a total of thirteen squads?

For ordinary Shinigami and Rukongs, the Gotei 13 is indeed the highest military force in Soul Society.

The name Zero Squad exists only in discussions of captain-level Shinigami and in those ancient records.

It was a mysterious force that had no fixed base, did not participate in the daily affairs of the Spirit Court, and was only responsible to the Spirit King.

They numbered only five in total, but each of them possessed a fighting prowess comparable to the entire Gotei 13.

"Why did the Spirit Butterfly of Squad Zero land on his shoulder?" Byakuya Kuchiki asked with a frown, a question that was on the minds of all the captains present.

Asuka didn't care whether it was the Zero Division or the Hundredth Division; he frowned, wanting only to get rid of this pretentious butterfly.

Just then, the golden-white spirit butterfly suddenly transformed into a cloud of golden light.

The light mist quickly condensed near the bird's ear, transforming into a rough, bold, and deep voice.

The sound was not encrypted and echoed directly over the ruins of Twin Peaks Hill.

"Hey kid! That last strike was pretty good! I'm almost tempted to put a big circle around your name!"

The voice sounded like a cheerful middle-aged man, with a kind of approachable charm that made it impossible for anyone to feel hostility towards him.

"However, you can't leave now."

Although the voice still carried a hint of laughter, it also carried an invisible air of authority, making Asuka feel a sudden increase in pressure.

"That little guy Aizen has caused a huge commotion. Even Yamamoto has been locked in a box. Now, down here... it's a complete mess."

"So, to prevent those restless individuals from taking the opportunity to cause trouble and completely disrupt the balance of the Three Realms..."

"Three days later."

"Gather all surviving captains at the First Division barracks."

"Our Zero Squad will send someone down to personally oversee the situation!"

The golden-white mist began to slowly dissipate, and the bold voice gradually weakened.

But the last sentence rang clearly in Asuka's ears: "As for you, Asuka, you must also be present."

"This is a big deal—whether you can bring your girlfriend back to your hometown safely! Hahahaha!"

"What girlfriend? You bastard..." Asuka's cheeks burned, and she was about to say something.

With a deafening laugh, the golden-white mist completely dissipated into the air.

It was as if it had never existed.

However, the shock in everyone's eyes was undeniable proof of what had just happened.

"Squad Zero... is actually going to directly interfere in the affairs of the Soul Society?" Kyoraku Shunsui found it somewhat unbelievable.

In his mind, even if the entire Soul Society were destroyed, the Zero Division probably wouldn't care.

All they cared about was the safety of the Spirit King and the stability of the Three Realms.

Has the situation deteriorated to the point where it threatens the Three Realms?
