Tracing the source begins with One Piece

October 7th, Sunday.

In the past few days after the Daxu incident.

Everything seems to be still calm.

There is nothing much different except that we often see horrifying headlines in newspapers or on TV about someone kicking the gym and stabbing one after another.

just today.

this one night.

The wind is a bit noisy.

Someone who had just completed the "Sword Parade" and received the title of "Boundless Sword", with a sword on his waist, was wearing the stars and the moon, blowing the gentle night breeze of July.

As for why it is called "One sword has no boundaries".

As for why the "Waste Sword Order" can still walk around with a real sword in this world.

This is a bit long to say, so let’s talk about it when we are “in school”.

because,……

"Look, what I found"

"A lonely, onion-headed 'Chappy'"

“Petite, tender and juicy”

"The protein is 1.5 times that of humans"

"Touch your head, thief Bashi"

As he was crossing the road, a 'hug' came towards him.

Kuchiki Rukia was kicking and hurried all the way. In the tangled and nervous step and three turns, one of them didn't pay attention to the front, and she bumped into the arms of the person in front of her.

She, who was already extremely nervous, suddenly jumped in fright and jumped back like a rabbit.

"who is it?"

Although she blurted it out reflexively.

But the tone was as subtle as a stone falling to the ground - the kind that finally comes to an end after a dying struggle.

She had just finished writing a farewell letter not long ago, and her face kept changing from red to white as she walked on the road illuminated by the moonlight and lights.

There is relief, but also some fear.

She knew that someone was coming from Soul Society.

No matter who the god of death is, the purpose is to hunt down her who has lost her power of death, and to kill the culprit who stole her power of death.

Therefore, in cases where the former cannot be avoided.

She stayed away from Kurosaki Ichigo alone in order to prevent the latter from happening.

In her opinion, everything happened because of her and no one else should be implicated.

Moreover, during her time in this world, she also gained many warm emotions - friendship, family affection, and indescribable longing.

She thought she was very satisfied.

Now, with the arrival of people from Soul Society, it is time to leave.

Rukia Kuchiki walked quickly on the deserted road late at night. Even though her spiritual power had not returned to its original level, but was still very weak, she could somehow sense——

Someone from Soul Society was very close to her.

So, she walked faster.

The sound of tapping footsteps was especially clear in this quiet night.

In order to get further and further away from that "home".

So, she bumped into someone.

The first question of "Who is it?" actually already had the "answer" in my mind.

When she took a closer look, she discovered that she had "a mixture of sadness and joy" and received "good news" and "bad news."

The bad news is that her predicted answer was 0 points.

The good news is that the person she bumped into was not the "enemy" she expected.

Kuchiki Rukia straightened her neck and raised her head "with difficulty".

Tall, straight, majestic,...

Words with such meanings suddenly appeared in her mind.

Being less than 1 meters tall, she seriously doubted that the man in front of her, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, dressed in white and smiling at her, was twice her height.

This sense of disparity can only be realized when you face it up close, how much pressure you feel about your height.

Only then did she remember.

Who is this tall man in white in front of me?

That domineering scene suddenly appeared in my mind - a hundred meters of sword pressure, a single blow to separate the weak; there was no words when it came, and it was nameless when it left.

She couldn't help but murmur the name she learned from Inoue Orihime——

"Moonlight Moria!!!"

A voice responded to her.

Just, the master answered her murmuring voice.

She couldn't help but let the stone she fell to the ground because of the accidental collision just now be raised high again, hanging in her heart.

"Yo, Rukia"

"You are in such a miserable state like this."

"Just like a harmless little rabbit"

The intrusion of a third-party voice made her shiver reflexively.

This familiar and long-lost voice.

She turned to look at the source of the sound, the red-haired delinquent youth squatting on the telephone pole.

Well, that tattoo, that straight hair, that vicious airing, that unruly tone...it's totally Yakuza.

She looked up at the familiar and unruly figure of Death Tyrant, feeling both surprised and delighted.

"Renji~~Long time no see"

However, Lucia's response was a series of cold and expected questions.

"panic"

"Looking to the west and looking to the east"

"You are so weak, Rukia."

"If you don't say anything, you won't even know that we are in front of you."

"Is this the eldest lady of the Kuchiki family, one of the four noble families?"

"I think you should know very well the purpose of Captain Kuchiki and I coming to this world."

"Now, I am giving you an order from Soul Society - to truthfully report the source of your loss of spiritual power and capture you without mercy."

"Don't make me waste my time."

After the other party's series of cannonball-like questions.

Rukia looked at her former friend who stood up from the telephone pole and slowly pulled out the knife from his waist.

What she cared more about than seeing the cold light of the sword was...

"Brother~~Brother, are you here too?"

Renji Abarai jumped down from the telephone pole and approached Kuchiki Rukia with a knife, but he took the trouble to respond.

It's just that the meaning in the words is more of "sorrowful for his misfortune, angry for his inability to fight".

"What do you think? If you commit such a heinous crime, can Captain Kuchiki not come?!"

Rukia looked around looking for the awed figure.

She looked at the sidewalk above the road as if she had a telepathic connection.

Star Pliers, Silver Wind Flower Gauze, Captain Haori...

Even more in a daze, it seemed as if there were cherry blossoms falling in the wind, blowing against the handsome man.

Beautiful, yet desolate.

"Brother..."

Lucia shouted in a low voice, her eyes were hazy, with fear, joy, and indescribable emotions...

However, the friend who was approaching with his sword drawn, Xiao Hundan, who was obviously ignorant of style, had already slashed at him with his sword.

This god of death in Soul Society.

From beginning to end, from beginning to end, completely...

I have never looked at the man in front of Lucia!

The sword struck Rukia hard from the side.

He was held by a weak and weak sword that seemed to be lifted lightly.

when~~~

A clear symphony of swords.

Finally, this wild dog who likes to look at the stars looked askance at me.

Abarai Renji looked sideways to see what kind of trash he was, daring to interfere in the Shinigami's affairs.

All in white.

Holding the sword hilt upside down.

A gentle and kind professional smile.

Black hair, no horns, no sharp teeth and sharp mouth. (Yes, you read that right, the normal skin Moria is online)

The shadow above his head made Renji Abarai, who was at a close distance, feel the intimidation of being at a distance without any real feeling.

The tall figure enveloped his whole person.

"Hey~~~"

"What does a person of such a big size eat to grow up?"

“Is there anything good?”

“Just remember to share.”

"Right"

"Merely Human"

"..."
