Not an Update but important for the story.

Some of this is going to be explained throughout but I figured I could sate some curiosity. I won't go into too much detail here because like I said it will be explained later on in the chapters as well.

The Soul Society is actually a massive moving island. Meaning it doesn't have a set place on the sea as its home and is constantly moving around slowly.

The island is apart of the One Piece world. On the island is a cesspool magnet for dimensional rifts or doorways to other world very closely connected. This is why this island can reach the human world where Ichigo is from, Huecho Mundo, The Royal Realm, and the gates of Hell. (I think that's all of them-?-)

The island is basically an island for the dead. Simple as that. When someone dies they go there, no matter the realm they are from. Simple. The shinigami still have their normal jobs in the One Piece world but the Hell Butterflies from that world are more sentient(?) meaning they are going to have more abilities besides just acting as a guide through the dimensional rifts and messengers. That's why the ones that died after the wall appeared came towards the society with the butterflies but no shinigami to send them off.

Let's see what else.

Oh the wars!

After watching all of the Bleach anime, reading the Quincy war in the Bleach manga, and only gotten to the part where they introduce Ace in the One Piece manga, I felt like they glossed over the wars. Made them less harsh than what they really would have been.

Like in Aizen's war. Yes it's mentioned he killed, but besides the Central 46 we actually don't see him killing much. (IM A FIRM BELIEVER THAT GIN ISN'T DEAD BECAUSE OF RANGIKU'S FLASHBACK AFTEN AIZEN WAS DEFEATED WHILE SHE WAS STANDING OUTSIDE OF THE CAVE TOSHIRO WAS IN!!!!!) Manipulating, being a butthole, and controlling people, yes. I don't deny that Aizen is a psychopathic murderer with a superiority and god-complex the size of Russia. But in the anime we don't see much killing from him.

So I revised the war a bit. In my version it lasted much longer than what the anime made it seem, with much more little fights and conflicts before the final fight between Ichigo and Aizen. And sadly a lot more deaths.

Because honestly in a war, manipulated by Aizen, you don't seriously think he would actually wait until the final fight to try and take out the enemy forces. I'm speaking in terms of if his war took place in the real world. Sure you could say he is just too cocky and would continue to do in a war raged in our world what he did in the manga but this is my version so yea...

Anyways a lot more people die, the Soul Society is reduced to practically rubble, like in any massive war, it lasts a lot longer, and their are many more battles and conflicts.

Betrayals and allies are lost and gained for both sides and eventually it all comes down to the Mugestsu Ichigo vs Transcendent Aizen fight. Ichigo wins-if you call what happened a win, I don't because he just lost so much in that one fight in the anime- and slowly they start to rebuild and fix themselves from the war.

It's kinda canon from there besides the people who died not being there, the wall being there, and all that. It's practically canon until after the fullbringer arc. When the Quincy war is started.

Most events there are canon as well. Yamamoto still dies. Ichigo's sword still shatters. The Royal guards still come down and take him back to the Royal realm to heal and train. He still gains the real Zangetsu. The Quincy still steal the bankai and the temporary addition of Hollow reitsu into the shinigami with stolen bankai is still there. Ichigo still defeats Yawch and unmistakenly kills the Soul King. (Honestly I felt like Ichigo went into that fight unprepared and uninformed about common shinigami knowledge.)

Again allies betray and enemies turn allies. Many many more people die and it last longer than the Winter war and what the manga makes you think. And Ichigo wins.

I'm sorry I'm being vague but I don't want to reveal too much.

In all of this Ichigo becomes stronger. Extremely strong. Also you can't tell me Ichigo isn't the strongest Shinigami, if very untrained and undereducated about his own power and abilities he should have, when he defeated both Aizen and Yawch when no one else could. Yes he had help, but that's basically what keeps Ichigo moving is his nakama, so he would have won anyways as long as they stood by his side.

At the end of it all Ichigo's inner circle of friends/nakama are all dead besides Kiskue. (I HAVE A REASON FOR THIS DONT JUDGE. Besides Kiskue is awesome. In his own way.) including his human family and friends. Aka the humans and all the Kurosakis

The shinigami finally bring down the wall after the war and Ichigo realizes the remaining shinigami have only been treating him like a glorified tool. And that they only call on him when they need him to do something for him. And he doesn't like it. Then they basically serve up his way out on a silver platter and he takes the opportunity.

The rest you'll have to read to find out. Sorry for being vague. And explaining the changes I made it's just that I'm not going to be focusing a lot on the Bleachverse or the Shinigami or Soul Society. I'm going to be focusing more on the One Piece verse.

More things will be explained later throughout the story.

Anyways I hope y'all enjoy.
