Chapter 11: Kisuke Arrives At Last! Take Down Aizen!

Wealth, fame, power…Gold Roger, the king of the pirates obtained this and everything else the world had to offer. And his dying words drove countless souls to the seas.

"You want my treasure? You can have it! I left everything I've gathered together in one place! Now you just have to find it!"

These words lured men into the Grand Line in pursuit of dreams greater than they've ever dared to imagine. This is the time known as 'The Great Pirate Era'.


Then a blast came out from the side, revealing a long sword with the edge landing on the building behind Aizen. From the building, Ichigo pushed the long sword off. Luffy was on the ground with Second Gear worn off, watched as the long sword retracted.

"That was a very nice move there." Gin said. "It's fascinating how well sheer luck can be."

Ichigo wiped his blood from his lip and said, "You're stupid if you think that was luck."

"Sorry about this Captain Aizen." Gin said. "I hope that I didn't interrupt your conversation."

"It's alright." Aizen said as a white substance came out of the Hogyoku and flowed around Aizen. "I had pretty much finished myself." Luffy, Ichigo, Isshin, and Shanks widen their eyes, looking at the substance.

"It doesn't matter if you understand what it is." Aizen said, getting everyone's attention. "You can't escape its influence. You're feeling it now. Even as you try to resistance its will, it has the power to destroy the wall that separates those beings who are gods and those who are not." Then in a matter of seconds, a red light pierced through Aizen's shoulder, surprising everyone. Aizen looked over his shoulder at his attacker. "So you've come…Kisuke Urahara."


Ichigo's eyes widen, looking at Kisuke. "Where did he come from?"

"Kisuke…" Luffy said, looking at the shop owner. Isshin and Shanks looked at Kisuke widen eyes.

"Well now, it's been a while Aizen." Kisuke said, looking at Aizen.

"A hundred years or so…" Aizen said, remembering the last encounter between him and Kisuke.

"Since we last crossed paths…you've seem to adopted an interesting look."

"As you know, everything in the process of evolving tends to look ugly." Aizen said as the wound that Kisuke inflicted on Aizen was closed off as if nothing happened.

"An odd response." Kisuke said. "Who said anything about 'ugly'?" Kisuke looked at Aizen's chest and saw the hogyoku. "I see. You fused yourself with the hogyoku, haven't you?"

"I wouldn't say 'fused'." Aizen said, turning to face Kisuke. "It's more along the lines of 'subjugated'. I've subjugated the hogyoku that you cannot control."

Kisuke let out a small chuckle and said, "You're right, my friend. I couldn't control it…at the time."

"At the time?" Aizen repeated. "That's a very interesting remark Kisuke. Expect I don't believe there's a slightest shred of truth in what you're implying. I'll prove it." In an instant, Aizen flash stepped in front of Kisuke and stab him in the stomach with his sword.

"Get out of there Kisuke!" Ichigo shouted.

"I'm certain that you had the power to control the hogyoku, you would've done so by now." Aizen said. Then Kisuke's body started to fill up with air like a balloon around Aizen's sword and popped. Aizen widen his eyes as he felt a hand touch his back.

"Rikujokoro!" Kisuke said as rays of light shot through Aizen's chest and locked in place, binding his arms to his side. Kisuke jumped back, seeing Aizen wasn't fazed by Kisuke's trick.

Aizen's smirked and said, "Now that I think about, Yammy's battle records shows an entry that listed such an item. That's very good. I've let guard down never figuring that you would resort to such trickery." Kisuke didn't respond to the remark. "So what is it you're planning to do now after trying to tie me up with such a weak bakudo?"

"Such a weak bakudo, really?" Kisuke asked. "Well let's see how many you can take. Bakudo #63: Sajosabaku!" Kisuke extended his palm toward Aizen and rays of light appeared in the form of chains, wrapping themselves around Aizen. Kisuke retreats his palm back towards his chest. "Bakudo # 79: Kuyoshibari!" Then black orbs appeared, surrounding Aizen's body. One of the black orb appeared on top of the hogyoku, surprising Aizen.

Kisuke raised his cane and said, "Beyond the end of a thousand hands. The hand of darkness out of reach. The archer in heaven that goes unseen. Road that lights the way. Wind that ignites the embers. Converge where I point."

Aizen widen his eyes as red rays of light appeared around Kisuke, gaining more power as Kisuke continues.

"Bullets of light, bodies of eight, rays of nine, paths of heaven, treasures of speed, wheels immensity, and cannons of gray. The bow is drawn and fades in light."

"Really?" Aizen said in his normal tone. "Do you think I'll let you use such a kido? I can easily break free…"

"Too late!" Kisuke said, narrowing his eyes. "Hado # 91: Senjukotentaiho!" The red light missiles were fired towards Aizen, engulfing him in the light and causing a huge explosion. The light started to fade away, leaving the smoke.

"Whoa, that was so cool!" Luffy shouted with stars in his eyes.

"That's incredible." Ichigo said.

The smoke cleared, revealing nothing but the sky. "It's too bad Aizen." Kisuke said. "You went and embedded the hogyoku. It appears that you really did let your guard down. And now you'll have to pay the price."

"Exactly as I thought." A familiar voice said, surprising Kisuke. Kisuke quickly turned around and saw that some of the substance covered half of Aizen's face.

"Too slow…" Aizen said, slashing Kisuke's chest with his hand. Kisuke's eyes widen as blood came out of his chest. "I did let my guard down. But at this point, there's no longer any reason be on guard. I can feel the power. Back in the Soul Society, I realized that no one could compare to my capabilities. And now that I've subjugated the hogyoku, I've surpass even that performance potential. No matter what you attack with, it will fall short. At this point, I have no intention of dodging you kido, even at the nineties level."

"You've got it wrong." Kisuke said, making Aizen glare at him. "Standing up to my kido isn't what I meant by letting your guard down. The old you would've never adept to attack me twice without thinking it through."

Then two rings of light surround Aizen's wrist, causing Aizen to widen his eyes.

"What's happening?" Aizen whispered.

"You've been sealed." Kisuke said. "I've sealed all of the outlets of spirit energy. You know, the one that are on the wrists of every Soul Reaper. Without any energy, you'll be incinerated from the inside by your own spirit energy." A purple light started to swirl around the hogyoku and got bigger, surrounding Aizen. The light grew brighter, engulfing Aizen and making a huge explosion. Kisuke looked at the light and floated down to the ground.

"Did you defeat him?" Ichigo asked.

"It's not over yet." Kisuke said.

"What are talking about?" Luffy asked confused.

"It would be child's play if that was all it took to defeat him. We could laugh him as him off as soon sort of odd monster. He'll break out of that trap in no time." Everyone turned their attention to the blinding light and saw a dark shadow inside of it. The hogyoku was the first thing that was seen in the light. Then a sword was seen coming out of the light with its wielder behind it.

"Damn it!" Luffy cursed.

"Wha…What in the world…is that?" Ichigo said with widen eyes. They watched as Aizen came out of the light. His body was covered from head-to-toe with the white substance leaving but purple eyes showing through the white.
