On the way to the right-wing annex, Law spotted Pakunoda, which surprised him somewhat.
It had been a long time since they last met. Pakunoda had grown significantly taller, and her figure had undergone a qualitative transformation. Still, Law recognized her at first glance.
‘Is she here on her own, or is this a Phantom Troupe gathering?’
Law narrowed his eyes and instinctively reached for his pocket, intending to call or text Machi to ask for details. However, his hand ...

In Yoruichi’s view, the idea proposed by Kyoya could indeed properly address the living conditions of the residents in Rukongai.
Soul Society was not lacking in Reishi.
After all, everything in Soul Society was composed of Reishi.
What ordinary people lacked was the means to break down matter into Reishi and to aggregate Reishi into supplies.
If Kisuke could really create such a device, the standard of living for the people in Rukongai might not reach that of Seireit...

A look of disdain flashed across Hiyori's face before she bowed to Kyoya.
"Captain Kyoya."
"Well, Lieutenant Sarugaki, I have some business with Captain Kisuke. Please inform him."
Though Hiyori was a character Kyoya was familiar with from the original work, he didn’t particularly like her personality.
Fortunately, in his presence, Hiyori still had some self-awareness and didn’t direct her brashness toward him.

"What... what is this?!" Raiga stared in horror at his pierced Lightning Strike Armor. His swords, Kiba, were firmly pinned down by the skeletal claws of Susanoo, leaving him unable to retreat.
The tremendous impact had driven his legs deep into the ground, leaving him trapped like a cornered beast.
"I originally planned to give you a chance to surrender, but it seems you aren’t worthy of that opportunity." Hikari stood tall, looking down at the battered and disheveled Raiga wit...

Now, only five years had passed since the end of the Third Great Ninja War. As one of the former Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Raiga was a renowned Jonin within Kirigakure.
During his battles against Konoha, the Ninja of the Uchiha and Hyuga Clans left the deepest impression on him.
The Hyuga clan was troublesome because their Byakugan could see through the Hiding in Mist Technique commonly used by Kirigakure’s Ninjas, perfectly countering their tactical advantage.

The warships sailed directly into the island through the cracked fissures.
A few panicked individuals actually tried to climb aboard the ships… regardless of who was coming, as getting on a ship meant survival.
But halfway up, a tall figure leaned out from the side of the deck, blocking the sunlight.
As the climber looked up, a massive laser shot straight down from above.
The unlucky soul was blasted into the water before he could even react.

The Adamantine Sealing Chains infused with Haki were directly snapped by Garp.
There was no helping it.
After all, this Sealing Technique was originally created to target Chakra and Tailed Beasts.
Against the Nine-Tails, the Adamantine Sealing Chains could unleash terrifying suppression.
But against a pure physical monster like Garp, the difference between the Adamantine Sealing Chains and ordinary steel chains wasn't that significant.

The group led by Vinda Rosier no longer looked young.
Among them, the youngest, a middle-aged wizard, appeared timid and hesitant, clearly not belonging to the same organization as the others.
Vinda lit a cigarette for herself and exhaled a swirl of smoke.

He had originally thought that being abandoned by his parents and later taken in by his church-going great-aunt was purely acciden...

Black suits were practically the standard uniform for professional bodyguards.
Franklin’s towering physique naturally exuded an oppressive aura just by standing in front of others. In terms of appearance alone, he was the most fitting member of the Troupe for the role of a bodyguard.
Nobunaga’s build was average, and his height met the requirements. Dressed in a black suit, he carried himself with a certain flair.
Among the four, Shalnark was probably the most aggrieved....

Although Kyoya didn’t release his Reiatsu during his fight with Byakuya, making it impossible for Ginrei to determine whether Kyoya had already broken through to the 2nd-class Reiryoku, one thing was clear just from the way Kyoya blocked Byakuya’s Zanpakuto with a single finger… his strength far surpassed that of an ordinary captain, even if his Reiryoku hadn’t reached the 2nd-class.
If Byakuya stubbornly insisted on defeating Kyoya, did that mean he would have to remain in the ...

At the foot of the Katabami Gold Mine, there was a small, modest town.
Hotarubi, along with three other Hoshigakure’s Ninjas, disguised themselves as passing travelers and entered the town first to gather various pieces of intelligence.

A few minutes later, beside a small flower bed in Konoha’s shopping district.
Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows. Naruto, sitting on the edge of the flower bed, held an ice cream cone in his hand and eagerly took a big bite, oblivious to the cream smeared at the corner of his mouth.
Menma and Hinata sat side by side, savoring their ice cream in small bites.
Shinno watched the children with a kind smile and handed the last ice cream to his apprent...

Flames and lightning instantly spread from Prometheus and Zeus, coiling around Napoleon’s blade.
Then, Big Mom exerted force violently, and the blade instantly severed Kizaru's body.
Of course, it was Kizaru who chose to disperse himself.
Dealing with an enemy like Big Mom wasn't as easy as playing around with small-time pirates. Kizaru had now raised his vigilance to the utmost.
The last Admiral to be defeated was still fresh in everyone's memory.

Big Mom's roar arrived simultaneously with her Conqueror's Haki.
Perhaps due to the Soru Soru no Mi’s innate ability to manipulate and intimidate souls-
when using the same amount of Conqueror's Haki, the mental pressure effect produced by Big Mom was much stronger than others.
It could be considered a form of ‘specialization’.
After being enveloped by the terrifying sound wave, many elite Marines felt their heads spin.

Ginrei expressed his gratitude to Kyoya.

More importantly, Kyoya had laid a more solid foundation for Byakuya, allowing him to achieve even greater mastery in Zanjutsu.
Although a Shinigami's power largely depends on their Zanpakuto's abilities, strong...

From ancient times to the present, those in power have never been a monolithic bloc.

The morning sunlight streamed through the curtains into the room as Menma woke from his sleep, rubbing his sleepy eyes.
Outside, birds chirped amidst the fragrance of flowers, and the cherry blossom tree in the yard was in full bloom. A few delicate pink petals drifted through the window, landing beside Menma’s pillow.
Still in his pajamas, Menma stretched and yawned as he got up and stepped onto the balcony.
