"Why the hell are we here?" There was a look of astonishment on Yamabuki 's face. No wonder those Hollows stopped chasing him. It turned out that they were not afraid of him but were afraid of the current king of Hueco Mundo, the Skeleton Emperor Baraggan.
"Chief of Staff, you look very gloomy. Is this place in bad condition? Should we leave immediately?" Yuan-Feng asked.
The Hollow behind him looked at Yamabuki with extremely resentful eyes, but no Hollow dared to step into the territory of Las Noches.
"What are you afraid of? Don't panic. I'm here. Everything will be fine. Besides, the area of Las Noches is so large. That bastard Baraggan will definitely not notice that we've been here for a while. Besides, those Hollows won't dare to break in. This will give us some time to catch our breath. Tell Soul Society to open a gate near Las Noches. We will be back in two hours." Yamabuki said calmly.
Las Noches is not just a palace. Those who have watched the Hueco Mundo arc of Bleach know that Las Noches is a huge complex of buildings. Despite all the trouble they faced in Las Noches, Ichigo Kurosaki and others managed to escape. What's more, there were no Espada or Arrancar in this era. It's like a dream to stop them with just a native version of Skull King.
You, Baraggan, are just a younger brother!
Yamabuki looked at the Hollows behind him with a mocking look on his face and raised his middle finger. The Hollows clenched their teeth, yet none dared to venture into the realm of the King of Hueco Mundo.
"Brother Yamabuki, is everything really alright here?" Chōjirō was a little scared, and Yamabuki comforted him in a low voice: "Don't worry, it's okay, I'm here; even if Baraggan, the King of Hueco Mundo, comes, he can't do anything to you."
Yamabuki planned to rest for two hours outside Las Noches and then go back immediately after the gate to the world was opened, and the mission would be completed.
But what Yamabuki never expected was that they would be exposed from the moment they stepped into Las Noches.
...
Soul Society.
Yamamoto drank tea while waiting for news from Yamabuki. Soon, the technicians received the signal sent by Yuan-Feng.
"Captain, we have located the Chief of Staff. The chief of staff reported that a portal should be opened near Las Noches."
"Puff!" Yamamoto spat out all the hot tea. "Las Noches?" Why did that kid end up in Las Noches? Yamabuki, you're leading the Hueco Mundo expedition team, not delivering food to others.
In fact, there is not much communication between Hueco Mundo and Soul Society, and there is no information about Baraggan in Soul Society. For example, a thousand years later, in the Battle of Karakura Town, Kyoraku Shunsui, the veteran captain, did not recognize the King of Hueco Mundo.
But when Yamamoto was young, he once fought with an ancient Hollow. At that time, there was no Zanpakuto technique. The ancient Hollow defeated the young Yamamoto with its strong physique and even fought all the way to the Palace of the Soul King, wanting to devour the Soul King. In the end, it was the monk who defeated the ancient Hollow, erased its name, and gave it the name Ikomikidomoe!
Speaking of which, monk, do you know how to give a name? If you don't know how to name something, don't do it randomly! This name is too difficult to pronounce!
Baraggan and the ancient great Hollow are Hollows from the same era, and their strength is definitely not weak.
What's more, the Hueco Mundo is already full of dangers, and the area near Las Noches is even more dangerous. How did this kid sneak around the Las Noches?
"Captain, it seems that the general staff's condition is not very good now. Should we send out a rescue team?" asked the technician.
Yamamoto thought for a moment and shook his head: "Do as this kid says. I believe he must have his own reasons."
The technician could only respond, "Chief of Staff, the captain has authorized the opening of the gate near Las Noches. It will be open in two hours. Please hold on."
...
After fighting relentlessly, Yamabuki finally found relief and rested briefly against the wall of Las Noches. Although his spiritual pressure recovered quickly, the mental fatigue caused by long-term and high-intensity fighting was more difficult to relieve.
Yamabuki closed his eyes and rested under the watchful eyes of the outside world: "If there is anything, wake me up. I want to sleep for a while!"
Chōjirō said bitterly, "Brother Yamabuki, if you want to sleep, how about we go back and sleep? How can you sleep here?"
Those Hollow people grimaced, wishing they could eat Yamabuki alive, but they didn't dare to step into Las Noches.
Yamabuki ignored Chojiro, closed her eyes, and began to rest.
Chojiro held the knife tightly in his hand, fearing that some monster would appear suddenly. After all, this was the territory of the King of Hueco Mundo.
Less than two minutes after Yamabuki closed his eyes to rest, the gate of Las Noches opened without any warning.
Those who were watching the fun were so scared that they scattered like birds and beasts. Yamabuki opened one eye and stared at the movement inside the door.
Two humanoid Hollows walked in from behind the door, but these two Hollows were not Vasto Lorde; they just looked more like humans.
"They shouldn't be here to find me, right?" Yamabuki thought silently. Chōjirō and Yuan-Feng were so nervous that they almost released their Zanpakuto.
The two humanoid hollows swaggered in front of Yamabuki and said in a very arrogant manner, "Shinigami, the King of Hueco Mundo wants to see you; come with us immediately."
Yamabuki frowned. What was going on? How did Baraggan know that I was here? And he wanted to see me?
"No, don't disturb my sleep." Yamabuki refused directly. What a joke! I will leave this damn place in two hours. Who wants to see a skull face?
If Nellielu or Harribel were here, I might meet them.
Although those two are hollows, I will still squeeze out a little time to be spoiled in their arms. As for Baraggan? Haha, ugly, go away.
The two humanoid hollows raised their voices: "We will say it again, His Majesty Baraggan, the King of Hueco Mundo, wants to see you, come with us immediately."
"Chojiro, is it okay for you to deal with the two of them by yourself?" Yamabuki turned over and continued to rest with his eyes closed.
The status of these two in the Hueco Palace is like that of the two cleaning girls around Aizen. They follow their big brother to have meat to eat, but in fact, they are just a bunch of vegetables.
But the two guys beside Aizen at least have some looks. Look at you guys! There must be something wrong with Baraggan's aesthetics. Besides, which big boss has a male secretary around him?
Sure enough, within a minute, Chōjirō knocked the two self-righteous guys to the ground.
"So weak!" Chōjirō complained in a low voice. Is this really someone from Las Noches? Their strength and status are totally mismatched!
"Just wait for me. His Majesty will never let you go, just wait for me!" After suffering severe beatings, the two men fled without turning back.
