Chapter 70 - Shadow Sacrifice
The white crystal embedded in the 'Four-Faced Blood Sapping Cauldron' glowed with an ever-increasing intensity. Kwan Yuu hovered above with her massive abdomen rumbling with anticipation. This bull, she thought, was a truly exquisite meal!
“His essence! The aroma, truly intoxicating, a scent befitting my royal palate!" She chuckled softly, a sound that had the lesser Vampsquitoes outside trembling, and blew another torrent of purple fla...

Raphael was soaring through the skies, not on his mighty wings of shadow and bronze, but rather perched upon a magnificent griffin with feathers that looking like a thousand rainbows. This wondrous beast wasn’t his though. He was simply a passenger, enjoying a bird’s eye view.
Beside him, Butler Long held onto the reins with a smile. “Those lands below, young master, every inch is filled with stories, treasures and creatures you’d never en...

"He's heavy! Heavier than he looks!"
"Quit whining! We're almost there!"
"Right! Imagine how pleased Queen Kwan Yuu will be. This bull’s blood, it’s potent! We'll all be rewarded handsomely."
The Vampsquitoe swarm buzzed excitedly as they carried their massive, unconscious prize - the Golden Bull Thork - towards their nest.
“A bull Calamity's blood! Such a delicacy!”
"I want first dibs on his heart!"

Chapter 334 - The Report
The two Hollows Aizen mentioned piqued Gin Ichimaru’s interest. After spending over a hundred years with Aizen, Gin knew that every action his captain took was meticulously planned.
For instance, the Bount.
Who could have imagined that Aizen's plan, set in motion two hundred years ago, would be activated today?
The Bount, a race the Seireitei had never taken seriously, with Aizen’s help, would undoubtedly experience a significa...

Chapter 151 - Brother’s Reunite
Ace had always regretted that day.
When Sabo’s father, a noble, had come to take Sabo back, Ace had thought that perhaps that would be better for him. That he would be happier there.
“Let’s wait and see,” he had said, trying to convince himself as much as Luffy. “He’s strong. He’ll come back if he wants to.”
And then, Bluejam, a pirate, had used them. Gray Terminal, their hideout, was engulfed in flames… ...

Deuce, having finished treating Ace's wounds, left the ship's infirmary.
He had carried Ace back to their ship, the Piece of Spadille, after Ace collapsed in the arena. The rest of the Spade Pirates were waiting anxiously outside, worried about their captain.
“Deuce-san, how is the captain…?”
“He’s asleep. He’s exhausted… It was a tough fight.”
It was an understatement to say Ace had been utterly defeated.

Therefore, when Ailin mentioned encountering an acquaintance in the World of the Living, Haruko's first thought was of the villagers she had protected as a “shrine maiden” over a hundred years ago.
However, she also remembered that, back then, the average human lifespan was only fifty or sixty years.
It had been over a century. That village must have had four or five generations of descendants by now. How could there still ...

How should he answer?
Yes?
No?
No, no, no!
That wasn’t the point.
He had to warn her! The marriage alliance was most likely a trap, a cunning scheme orchestrated by Empress Yao Guang.
But how could he convince her?

Decades of practicing Data Kendo had allowed Rukia to achieve a mastery of her abilities.
Data Kendo, in essence, was a swordsmanship style that digitized both oneself and the opponent, allowing the user to exploit the opponent's weaknesses with their strengths.
In recent years, because Rukia rarely fought, her ability to digitize her opponents hadn't improved much.
However, when it came to digitizing herself, sh...
