Chapter 11 - Chapter 12

Name:A New Path Author:Vallori
A black portal appeared above the sea in an unknown location. A incredibly tall old and frail looking man casually walked out of the portal. This was of course Ginrei Kuchiki and he stood at the height of 300 cm tall.

When he walked out he noticed that there was no land beneath his feet so he fell down in the air. He made the sea freeze and used it to stand on. He looked around and finally in the distance he saw something familiar.

*BOOM*

Before he registered what it was, a bunch of marine warships started bombarding an island close to his location. He knew what he was looking at. He would never mistake this island for something else. This was Ohara and this was the buster call of the marines.

'oh, Maybe i should give that lava boy a good scare.' Ginrei was in fact above 150 years old, or that was his guess. He stopped counting a while ago, so when he called someone boy, he truly had that right since everyone is a child in his eyes right now.

He moved in a straight line directly towards Ohara and he could see by using magic sense, and he saw Saul arguing with Kuzan at the moment. Sakazuki ordered his marines to open fire on the evacuation ship.

"Men, kill that deserter for justice!" Sakazuki said while pointing his fingers at Saul that had Robin in his arms ready to shields her from any bullet. He knew he couldn't even touch these two Vice admirals at all.

"How about you two boys step back." A dangerous and sharp sword intent arrived and took the heads of all the foot soldiers behind Sakazuki. The sound of bodies echoed out as they all dropped dead on the ground. In front of Saul, Ginrei had appeared suddenly. He had his sheathed katana in hand and looked at both Kuzan and Sakazuki.

"Who are you to interfere with justice." The lava boy said with anger. He looked around and saw that only himself and the ice boy was left standing among the marines here.

"Now i would not call this justice. Who are you decide what knowledge can't be studied. All i see is two adults bullying a weak child." Ginrei said and looked at Robin with a little smile on his face. He had been getting better at the whole smiling thing. He could do it now without looking so awkward.

"oy, oy, who are you old man? I have never seen you before." Kuzan said while keeping his guard up..

"You two can run along now. They won't get past me." He said and indicated for Saul to run away.

"T-Thank you stranger." Saul said and started running. Sakazuki got infuriated when he saw this and yelled at Ginrei.

"How dare you block the way of justice. DIE!" He ran and jumped at Ginrei with a fist covered with magma. He put his full power behind this because he also felt that this old man was dangerous.

"You are about a hundred years to early to fight me lava boy." Ginrei said and disappeared from the spot instantly, almost like teleportation.

Sakazuki landed on the spot he had been standing and looked around. Suddenly he felt danger from the left, and tried to punch whatever it was. But he was way too slow and a fist got properly planted on his face, and sent him flying into the side of a hill a few hundred meters away. He had been knocked unconscious.

"Ice boy, i can sense you have no malice towards the little one. So do you wanna fight me as well or are you gonna give up and just grab that lava boy and sail away?" Ginrei quickly shook off some lava that was present on his knuckle.

"oy, you're a dangerous old man. *sigh*. I have no interest in fighting you. I wouldn't stand a chance against you." Kuzan said and held up his hands in defeat.

"That's the spirit. Now go grab your friend before he dies of blood lost. I punched him quite hard." Ginrei said and put his hands behind his back, military style.

"Before that. Mind telling me your name. You know, make my report a little easier for me." Kuzan said. He had a calm and lazy exterior, but he was on full alert in front of this old man that could move faster then he could comprehend.

"Ginrei Kuchiki. Head Captain of the Gotei 13." He said and smiled again.

"Never heard of you. Are you a pirate group or something?" Kuzan said, trying to make this appear more as a conversation then an interrogation to get as much information as possible from this old man.

"We are what i decide that we are. But i suppose that you could call us pirate since it fits quite well." Ginrei said and he turned around and walked away. Kuzan didn't want to press him because he didn't know what he might do to the marines that was left here. He knew for certain that no one here had any hope in defeating him.

"What a drag. Sakazuki is gonna be pissed when he wakes up again." Kuzan said an went to pick up his fellow Vice Admiral.
