"Good job, kid! You've mastered Fullbring already!"
At this moment, Yekawa, through the little centipede's perspective, witnessed the entire process of Ginjō Kūgo awakening his Fullbring and killing the Arrancar!
...
At the same time as Ginjo was battling the Arrancar, dozens of kilometers away, in a hot spring hotel.
Reclining in the open-air hot spring was a well-built, white-haired man with eyebrow and ear piercings. A '69' tattoo was emblazoned on his abdomen.
He was humming a tune, perfectly at ease, while soaking in the hot spring.
"Splash!"
A figure plunged directly into the hot spring, then shot out of the water.
It was a short, green-haired girl wearing goggles, an orange neckerchief, a tight-fitting suit, and long boots.
"Kensei Muguruma is a big pervert, he's not wearing any clothes!"
The girl spoke first.
Upon hearing this, the previously cheerful Kensei Muguruma's forehead instantly twitched with a bulging vein.
"Kuna Mashiro, you idiot! I was just taking a bath…"
The two in front were indeed Kensei Muguruma and Kuna Mashiro from the Visoreds.
"Kensei Muguruma, did you feel that?"
Kuna Mashiro suddenly dropped her playful expression, looking at Kensei Muguruma with a serious face.
"It's just a Gillian-class Arrancar, you can handle it yourself!"
Kensei Muguruma said nonchalantly.
"Whoosh!"
The next moment, Kuna Mashiro vanished from her spot, leaving only a parting remark:
"Kensei Muguruma is a big idiot!"
...
Not long after, Kuna Mashiro arrived at the scene, only to see Ginjō Kūgo holding the Cross of Scaffold, and the little centipede Hollow perched on Ginjo's shoulder!
Because he had just absorbed the spiritual pressure of the pompadour-haired Arrancar, Ginjō Kūgo was now completely filled with Arrancar spiritual pressure.
"Have Arrancar already reached this level?"
Clearly, Kuna Mashiro mistook Ginjō Kūgo, who had just absorbed the Arrancar's spiritual pressure and hadn't fully digested it, for an Arrancar.
Without a word, she wiped her face, and a mask with two heart-shaped eye sockets and four small slit holes suddenly appeared on her face.
Kuna Mashiro's figure flickered, and she delivered a flying kick directly to Ginjō Kūgo's lower back.
"Bang!"
Just like that, Ginjō Kūgo was kicked directly into the wall.
Poor Ginjō Kūgo had just finished one battle, only to be kicked away by Kuna Mashiro.
"Cough, cough!"
Ginjō Kūgo struggled to crawl out of the ruins of the wall.
He glanced at Kuna Mashiro, who had kicked him away, and upon seeing the Hollow mask on her face, he was stunned.
"A humanoid Menos Grande, could this be the Vasto Lorde that Makoto-Nii mentioned?"
On the other side, Kuna Mashiro, without a word, charged forward again with another kick.
"Arrancar, prepare to die!"
The green-haired girl performed a 360-degree spin in the air, then delivered a high kick, her long right leg descending like a battle-axe.
"Super Flying Kick!"
Seeing this, Ginjō Kūgo could only raise the Cross of Scaffold to barely block!
"Boom!"
However, Kuna Mashiro's strength increased significantly after Hollowfication, and with a single blow, she directly made Ginjō Kūgo bleed from his nose and mouth.
"Damn it, who did I offend?!"
After saying this, Ginjō Kūgo immediately fainted on the spot.
The little centipede clone, hiding to the side, was also completely bewildered.
"Visoreds? What's wrong with this woman?"
Seeing that Kuna Mashiro had already charged a Cero and aimed it at the unconscious Ginjō Kūgo, Yekawa knew he could no longer stand by, especially since he still needed Ginjō Kūgo to help him find the spirit king fragment!
And so, the dark golden patterns on the little centipede's body lit up again, and a thick lightning whip shot out from its body, heading straight for Kuna Mashiro, who was still charging her Cero in mid-air.
"Rumble!"
A dark golden lightning whip shot out from the little centipede's body, directly striking Kuna Mashiro in mid-air.
"Zzzzt!"
This incredibly powerful lightning whip struck first, piercing through Kuna Mashiro's emerald green Cero, and then knocking her out of the air!
"Ah!"
With a scream from Kuna Mashiro, she fell directly from mid-air.
The scorched Kuna Mashiro looked at the tiny centipede Hollow; its dark golden patterns on its back had now all disappeared.
Kuna Mashiro simply couldn't understand how such a seemingly frail, miniature Hollow could unleash such terrifying lightning!
"That didn't knock her out?"
Yekawa was somewhat surprised that this lightning whip didn't have the effect he expected. But there was nothing he could do; the power of this strike was what was left in this clone from ten years ago.
After ten years of attenuation, it was already quite difficult for that lightning whip to unleash such power.
"Damn it, I don't believe you can unleash a second lightning strike like that!"
At this moment, Kuna Mashiro, whose entire body was scorched by the lightning, regrouped and slowly walked towards the unconscious Ginjō Kūgo and the centipede clone.
Just as Kuna Mashiro was about to kick the centipede clone to death, a huge, irregular crack suddenly appeared in the calm space. A streak of lightning shot out of the Hueco Mundo with lightning speed, blocking the unconscious Ginjō Kūgo and the centipede clone, and single-handedly parried Kuna Mashiro's Super Flying Kick.
"A humanoid Menos Grande, are you a Vasto Lorde?"
Seeing Yekawa suddenly appear, a bad premonition suddenly arose in Kuna Mashiro's heart.
"How… is this possible?"
Just as Kuna Mashiro was about to attack again, she found that Yekawa, with a speed she couldn't comprehend, transformed into a flash of lightning and rushed in front of her, extending his right hand's middle finger and flicking her face ever so lightly.
"Bang!"
Kuna Mashiro's mask shattered in response…
"Is this for real?!"
Yekawa raised his hand again, forming a hand-blade, and struck her fair, tender neck.
In an instant, Kuna Mashiro, like Ginjō Kūgo, lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground like a pile of mud!
Just as Yekawa was about to carry the dog-tired Ginjō Kūgo away, a fierce gust of wind swept towards Yekawa's face.
Yekawa waved his right hand, deflecting the wind, and looked forward at the newcomer.
"Kuna Mashiro, are you alright?"
Kensei Muguruma used Shunpo to appear in front of Kuna Mashiro, directly helping her up. Seeing Kuna Mashiro's scorched body, Kensei Muguruma clenched his right fist, glaring fiercely at Yekawa.
Then, he roared:
"Hey, you're the one who hurt Kuna Mashiro like this, are you ready to die, Menos Grande?!"
Looking at Kensei Muguruma's hysterical appearance, Yekawa merely smiled faintly:
"I advise you not to bluster, it will only make your weakness more apparent."
Hearing Yekawa's words, Kensei Muguruma spoke with a cold expression:
"What an arrogant Menos Grande. You must be the legendary Vasto Lorde, aren't you? Are you ready to be the first Vasto Lorde to die by my hand?"
"Don't worry, I won't waste too much of your time!"
