Chapter 126 - 126: The Hollow

I wasn't too surprised to find that Lily was already training but nothing much compared to Rose and Ryu. I took Lily to the same island that Rayleigh brought Luffy and I to. While there I gave extra gravity to Lily so that she can train under it. Hanc.o.c.k was with us every step of the way during the few months I spent with them. I was informed of the new Government and how they no longer needed the Shichibukai (Seven Warlords of the Sea). Aokiji became the new Fleet Admiral and had new Admirals other than Fujitora and Ryokugyu. Apparently White Beard died of old age while the crew was sailing to Wano. The Yonko (Four Emperors) are now the Sanko (Three Emperors) which are Akagami no Shanks (Red hair Shanks), Hyakuju no Kaido (Kaido of the Beasts) and Mugiwara no Luffy (Strawhat Luffy).

According to the rumors that Hanc.o.c.k told me, Black Beard grave robbed White Beards grave and only saw that there was a hole in White Beards corpse, other than that nothing was taken. If that's true then Black Beard corrected the story by still taking the Gura Gura no Mi (Tremor Tremor fruit) powers for himself again. I'm guessing they needed to eat his heart because they couldn't do the same when Ace originally died and was buried. Akainu burned a hole through Ace's c.h.e.s.t so there was nothing Black Beard could take. The possibility of Black Beard becoming the new Yonko was high.

I briefly went to check up on Luffy and the crew but they just landed in Wano so I went back to Lily and Hanc.o.c.k. Since Wano is a place of old Japan and has samurai, I will fit right in as a ninja. I will take a short trip to the Bleach universe so I can also have a katana when I come back for Kaidos head. I first go to Toriko's universe to gather ingredients and to visit Toriko and Komatsu. Toriko was a father to a son, Ichiryu, named after the old man. Rin was super happy but they would all travel a lot to new planets for food so tracking them down took a while. I got new ingredients, Acacia's full course, only a little bit, new methods and techniques in cooking from Komatsu. I was glad that I came to pick up new ingredients. I tasted some before I left and the food was phenominal. This will definitely level up my family. I made sure to bring enough for them and save some for myself.

I pictured the Bleach universe in my mind and opened a Yomotsu Hirasaka. I remembered that the Bleach universe was much weaker than the other universes so I sealed my strength before jumping in the portal. The Bleach universe is much more modern and down to earth than the others I have visited so any overabundance of power can easily kill people there. I just wanted my Katana but I had to see where the story was beforehand. I transformed my clothes to make it look like I was from there. I looked sort of like an exotic dresser considering my tail was used like a fur belt. I had regular fit jeans, red and black sneakers, a black v- neck shirt and a black and white leather jacket with the Kanji for heaven on the back. I jumped in the portal and exited an hour later. Que the Grand Theft Auto San Andreas meme: Aw shit, here we go again.

Sage: Fuuuucccccckkkkk!!!!!!

I crash landed hard on the ground causing a slight earthquake. It's Japan, they should be used to it. From my surroundings, I saw many Hollows in my area. Hollows are a race of creature which are born from human souls who, for various reasons, do not cross over to Soul Society after their death and stay in the Human World for too long. They are corrupt spirits with supernatural powers which devour the souls of both living and deceased Humans. Hollows settle in Hueco Mundo, but can cross over to the Human World and Soul Society. Hollows are the opposite of Humans who are considered pluses and Hollows minus'. – Bleach Wiki The Hollow started surrounding me in this park looking place but I have yet to figure out why there were so many gathered. The only thing that came to mind was when Ishida Uryuu challenged Kurosaki Ichigo to a contest to see who can get rid of the most Hollow.

I used my Rinne Sharingan and saw that the Hollow are made out of spirit particles. There are many iterations of this and to me it's another form of energy. Even with seals on me they gathered to me because of the excess energy leaking from me. With a bit of my aura, Ki, chakra, magic and Haki I said…

Sage: F.u.c.k off!

All the Hollow that gathered instantly disappeared. I don't know whether they were purified like a Zanpakuto (Soul-cutter) or completely obliterated like a Quincy's powers but I will have to find out. I'm just hoping it's not the latter because other than my strength, completely erasing Hollows can severly damage the balance of this universe. With that said, Urahara Kisuke, Tsukabishi Tessai, Hanakari Jinta and Tsumugiya Ururu showed up when I cleared the Hollow. I tried to mask as much of my strength as I could but they approached me anyway.

Urahara: (Whistled) Wooooo, those were a lot of monsters, huh?

I already knew that he suspected me but I will play the fool and see how far he will take it. I already knew that Urahara was a lot smarter than what his appearance made him out to be.

Sage: (I tilted my head) Excuse me? What monsters?

Ururu: Kisuke-san, this guy has almost no presence. Can't we eliminate him?

Urahara: Aw now how am I going to get a good sample with you spilling the beans, Ururu?

Jinta: Let me at em'! JINTA HOMERUN!!!

This little kid swung his big a.s.s maul bat at me without knowing who I was. I knew Urahara was on to me but I didn't know how stupid the little kids were. They already gave out their plans but at least I know my seals work because they couldn't tell the difference in strength. I sighed as they identified me as an enemy. Truth be told he was the last person I wanted to be against, not because of his strength but because of his skills in research, training and procurement of items. I didn't want to kill them so I will at least let them witness a little bit of my strength. I stopped Jinta's bat with my left pinky and literally blew him away with a puff of my breath.

Sage: I didn't come here to fight you people. But if it's death you seek…

I see that he understood. I didn't want to disturb the world here since I mainly came for a Zanpakuto. Playing nice until I can get my hands on an Asauchi or an unnamed sword would better for me. Once Ururu brought the unconscious Jinta back, Urahara explained to me what was going on and I was right. Ishida Uryuu used Hollow bait to lure the Hollow but did not account for the tremendous amount Hollow showing up.

Urahara: You see, all the monsters that you destroyed were summoned by something. We were keeping track of them until you appeared and they surrounded you. I am sorry for the rude and late introductions, my name Urahara Kisuke.

Sage: Sarunokami Sage. Call me Sage. Urahara-san, quick question, the monsters you say I destroyed, were they completely erased?

Urahara: The monsters are called Hollow, human spirits that have been corrupted and became monsters. From the looks of it they were not erased. Does it matter to you if they were completely destroyed?

Sage: There are repercussions for even the smallest of actions. I don't want to damage the balance of this place.

Urahara: Strong and wise, like your name.

I followed behind Urahara and his group to where Ichigo was. While following, Urahara told me what was going on but kept much of the information to himself, like usual. I needed a reason to bring up the Asauchi so I will ask later when I see Ichigo's Zanpakuto.
