Chapter 132 - George
Skypiea.
By bringing the island formerly known as Ohara into the sky, the inhabitants of the sky island moved there. The Shandia who had been driven from Jaya, had returned to their ancestral land, the “sacred land” known as Upper Yard.
There were many mysteries surrounding Upper Yard, valuable archeological artifacts were likely present, but negotiations for access were not going well.
The younger members of the Shandia were adama...

Bang!
Zaraki kicked open the door to one of the Fourth Division’s wards and strode inside. He grabbed the bald man lying on the bed and pulled him up.
“Hey…”
“Who the hell…?”
Ikkaku Madarame, abruptly dragged from his slumber, was furious. He turned with a murderous glare, only to be met with a sight that shocked him, replacing his “murderous intent” with “terror.”
“Captain… Captain Zaraki, what a...

Chapter 306 - A Startling Revelation
“Hu Zongxian?”
Danzhu who was trapped within the Shangjun Go Board for ten thousand years, had, of course, never heard the name of the former Grand Coordinator of the Great Ming’s Northern Territories.
But a single sword strike had forced him back. He knew his opponent was powerful.
Crack!
Crack!
Crack, crack, crack!
Danzhu’s mangled body emitted a series of sickening crunches as bones reset an...

Chapter 131 - Olivia
One day, about six months after the Kuja Pirates had been brought under Kanata’s banner, Olivia was moving through the Hachinosu fortress with a troubled expression.
The stern look on her face was unusual for her. There was a reason for it, and she was on her way to consult with Kanata.
Hachinosu was always bustling. Familiar and unfamiliar faces bustled about as Olivia made her way to her destination.
She hesitated slightly outside ...

The Shangjun Go Board shattered.
The miniature world, destroyed.
Fan Li felt the world spin around him. When his feet finally touched solid ground, he found himself back on the barren mountain, standing before the desolate Tomb of King Jie.
“Duke Jin, are you alright?”
Huang Longshi rushed to Fan Li’s side. He was now a Divine Transformation cultivator, which was two major realms above Fan Li’s. It was only natural th...

Chapter 304 - The Price of Power
Toshiro Hitsugaya’s spiritual pressure, his chilling cold, rapidly drained away, eventually coalescing before him into a young man with blue hair and a white, “乂”-shaped marking on his face.
“This… This is…?”
“Hyōrinmaru?”
As his spiritual pressure dissipated, Toshiro deactivated his Bankai. However, he wasn’t focused on himself.
He couldn’t believe that his teacher, Ailin, could do such a thi...

Several days had passed since Teach arrived at Germa.

And now, Sukura was preparing for surgery on a patient with severe Amber Lead Syndrome.

Unlike Byakuya Kuchiki, who bore the weight of the Kuchiki Clan's honor, Gin Ichimaru and Toshiro Hitsugaya were both from Rukongai. In Ailin's eyes, all three were deeply sentimental individuals.
However, the Kuchiki Clan's million years of glory meant that Byakuya had to consider the potential impact of his actions on the family’s reputation before making any decisions. The constraints imposed upon a noble clan with such a long linea...

A scream pierced the air.
The Rotten Axe Go Board, once a renowned Go treasure, perhaps even the most valuable in the world before the Shangjun Go Board's reappearance, was now crumbling.
The board, which should have been brimming with spiritual energy, was lifeless, like a dried-up riverbed.
Cracks spread across its surface.
Finally, with a deafening boom, the Rotten Axe Go Board’s world collaps...

In fact, both Captain Ichimaru and Captain Hitsugaya might be spending the night at the Fourth Division. After ...

Weakness in ability could be compensated for with spiritual pressure. As wielders of the "strongest" Zanpakutō, Gin Ichimaru's talent was in no way inferior to Toshiro Hitsugaya's.
Moreover, Gin had received Ailin's teachings for over a hundred years longer than Toshiro. Of course, Gin had used a part of his soul to repair Rangiku Matsumoto's, which had impacted his own potential. However, this impact wasn't enough to put him at a disadvantage i...
