Chapter 25 - Chapter 27

A few days later in Ginrei's office on his floating island. A group of very powerful people were gathered here. This was, of course, the commanders of the Gotei 13 and their captain, Ginrei himself.

"So why did you call us here Father?" Bradely had escaped from his duties of the marines and came here for this meeting. He had just gotten to headquarters and was now being tested in multiple ways. He was actually supposed to be on his way to an island on the Grand Line and capture a pirate there.

"I called you all here to talk about what I am. I know you all feel it as well. The fact that I am not just a normal human, but something more." Ginrei said and the others just nodded along. They had indeed felt something about him. It was something about his aura and the feeling he gave them when they were close to him. This was because of the summon connection, but he would never tell them that.

"So the best way I can explain this is by telling you all that I am a multidimensional being. This means that I can travel through dimension but also universes." Ginrei said and waited for their reaction.

"Honorable Grandfather. Does this mean you are not from this world" Byakuya asked? He was not afraid or especially shocked. He was intrigued more than anything else.

"That's correct. I basically live in-between universes. Meaning I can live in anyone I choose. I am the only one in existence that can freely travel like this. Well, that used to be true. My children and grandchildren have this ability as well." Ginrei was informed by the system that his family automatically got the ability. It was of course very limited in how they could use it. They did not have free rein with it as he did.

"You mean to say that we can travel to new worlds?" Byakuya, now very shocked asked with interest.

"Not at first. I need to take you to whatever world that is and let you absorb its energy. When that is done, as long as you are powerful enough, you can travel to that world yourself." Ginrei said while scanning all commanders here. Everyone except Bradley and Byakuya was just listening in and were not commenting.

"Is this dangerous for us. seeing as we are not like you or as powerful?" Bradely asked. He honestly had little interest in this sort of travelling. He only wanted to complete the missions he was given. If the mission was to travel, then he would. Anything other than that he would see as distractions to his Fathers mission.

"If you are not powerful enough then it can be deadly for you to travel through just dimensional cracks. Let alone entire universes." Both of his family members just nodded to the answer.

"Father, before this, you said children. Do you have others in other worlds?" Bradely asked. The family was the only other thing besides the missions that he cared about.

"That is correct. Bradely, you have a brother in another world I visited. The time flows differently between universes, so I don't know how old he is. This is also the reason I don't know my own age." Ginrei had not looked at his status, so he truly didn't know his own age and he liked that. He felt a little mysterious and that's something he enjoyed about himself.

"I see. Then I would very much like to meet this brother of mine one day." He smiled while he said this, and he rarely smiled about anything.

"Of course. But let's get back to the reason I called you here besides giving you all this information. The very reason I had to tell you this is because I am going on a journey to a different universe. I will be gone for quite a few years." Ginrei said and all the commanders displayed different emotions.

"Captain, are we allowed to travel with you." This time, someone unexpected spoke up.

"It all depends. I will make many journeys like this, so I might bring you all with me from time to time. Or I might go alone. This time though, I did plan to bring with me some of you. That is of course if you want to." He said to the woman who spoke.

"I would be willing."

"Glad to hear it, Rize," Ginrei said and looked at them all again and continued.

"I planned to ask Alucard, Undertaker, Rize and Ryo to travel with me. What do you all say?" Ginrei looked at the commanders in question.

"It would make me very happy," Rize said with a smile.

"I am willing!" Ryunosuke said with no real emotions displayed on his face.

"I would follow Master anywhere!" Alucard said, without realizing he said master instead of captain. Ginrei ignored it since he really didn't care what he called him now that they would go to another universe.

"A world full of a new and unique specimen. I will follow gladly." Undertaker and smiled while half his face was hidden by his hair.

"Okay. All of you that were not called this time. Stay here and keep the Gotei 13 in line. Keep it alive and active. The only rule does not destroy the world." Ginrei knew that was a pretty lax rule. Many of these commanders could do a lot of damage without going as far as destroying the world.

"Yes, captain!" They all said and kneeled.

"Dismissed. You four stay!" The four chosen stayed while the rest disappeared from their spot using a variety of different abilities.

'Now I need to say goodbye to the rest and then give some explanation to Shiryu. Maybe he would believe I am going on a very special journey for close to 20 years." Ginrei sighed and then made his way towards Shiryu with his four commanders following behind him.
