"Finally found it" he muttered while looking at the snake-shaped Hollow which was in the middle of the corpses of several wild animals, Kondo also felt the faint Reiatsu around him, he also felt the Hollow's strength increasing little by little, 'Soul huh' he thought as he drew His Zanpakutō before lunging towards the Hollow in front of him.

Now he still hasn't mastered Shunpo, but he can do basic things to speed up his movements, he started to strengthen his body with Reiatsu, then when the Hollow turned towards him, its long tail immediately swung quickly in the direction of Kondo's sword swing, Kondo who felt This instantly puts in more Reiatsu before the two's blows meet and causes a small Reiatsu wave.

Kondo began to raise his Zanpakutō and began to clash attacks with the Hollow, Kondo used all his strength and he concentrated 120%, if he was a little careless then his life would be lost, physical strength, Reiatsu, this Hollow was above Kondo, but in terms of Instinct and fighting experience from bleach world, Kondo is superior and can utilize his techniques to their full potential.

After exchanging attacks dozens of times, his hands were shaking because this Hollow's physical strength was stronger than his, if it weren't for the reinforcement, he would have definitely been thrown far away and ended up dead on the spot, he started to jump back and he immediately pointed at the Hollow while focusing Reiatsu into his fingertips. before he said, "Bakudo#1: Sai!"

With Kondo's Kidō technique, the Hollow was immediately bound and fell to the ground while rolling and rolling intending to release his Bakudo, but unfortunately Kondo didn't intend to let him go, because the Kidō had consumed a lot of his Reiatsu, and now he was pouring his Reiatsu into his Zanpakutō, but not before Then he started to hear a faint sound along with the Hollow starting to make his Bakudo crack.

"Call me..My name is..."

Hearing this, Kondo was sure, his progress had reached 20%, in other words the Shikai had opened, and also with his current Reiatsu, it was likely that he would use the Shikai for less than 30 seconds, so he started calling the name of his Zanpakutō to make the Hollow die quickly.

"Sting all Enemies to Death, Suzumebachi" with his right hand, the entire sword glows white and shrinks in size. When the emitted glow dies out, it is revealed that Suzumebachi has now taken on the form of a black and gold gauntlet, with a small chain linking it to a stinger-like blade on Kondo's middle finger. The "stinger" is about twice as long as the normal length of Kondo's fingers, slightly increasing his striking distance. The colors and patterns of the Shikai resemble those of a hornet.

"This is really good, but because I only have a little time, I'll just finish you off" he said as he lunged towards the Hollow which had almost escaped, Kondo immediately stabbed his enemy with Suzumebachi's blade right in the chest, it looks small but up close, Kondo's stab wound is quite deep, but Kondo's aim is not only that, Suzumebachi has a special power to kill, right at the stab wound, the attack leaves a butterfly-shaped stamp on the victim's body. Spreading from the center of the wound, Kondo immediately grinned slightly as he started to stab him a second time, "That was a good fight, Hollow yo" he said grinning and he immediately stabbed a second time at the place where he stabbed the Hollow, even though the Hollow managed to escape , but it was too late.

"Nigeki Kessatsu" he said then at Kondo's stab site for the second time, a larger crest quickly spreads out from the two smaller ones, completely destroying the victim's body, "This is why I aim to drain your Reiatsu you damn Hollow" he said while making Suzumebachi come back into a sealed form then he immediately sheathed it and tucked it under his back.

[Congratulations on defeating your opponent, Exp 450]

"Phew, that was the toughest fight to date" he said while massaging his back which was too sore, while looking at his status and walking back, he started to put stat points, in that fight he wasted too much Reiatsu on physical strengthening because he strengthened his entire physical body 'If only This Physical Enchantment evolves into Busoshoku haki, maybe its consumption will be very economical,' he thought while looking at the Physical Enchantment Skill.

Indeed, he can only strengthen his body parts such as hands and feet, but the problem is that once he is hit by an attack from someone like Zoro, he will automatically fall, "Maybe Luffy has already returned to the ship, but before that..." Kondo said while looking towards Shop and looked at the Zanpakutō that was already open, although the problem was that he only got a random Zanpakutō and couldn't choose Yamamoto's strong Zanpakutō or Ichigo's True Shikai, and now Kondo could only gamble with his small luck, "Hopefully it's strong and useful" he muttered while closing his eyes until the System's voice started to sound and in his right hand appeared a normal katana. It has a rectangular tsuba with a vaguely flame-like pattern on the long sides and a curved line on the short sides, inward-curved corners with curved slits above and below the blade, and a series of curved lines embossed on either side of the blades. It has a reddish-brown hit.

'Hmm?

[Sode no Shirayuki] [0%]

Shikai: Locked

Bankai: Locked

The Zanpakutō belongs to Kuchiki Rukia, a Candidate Captain of the 13th division after the war against the Quincy, "It seems my luck today is really very good" he muttered as he put the Sode no Shirayuki into the Iventory, now he can train Synchronization with the Zanpakutō without having to meditate, that's It can also be done during battle and injects his Reiatsu into his Zanpakutō, but the fastest way is to do Zen swords which for him is quite boring if it is not for training his Reiryoku control.

After getting his second Zanpakutō using all his Coins, Kondo started walking towards the ship via the marks he made on the trees he passed earlier so that he wouldn't get confused and get lost when returning to the ship, while walking back, he began to wonder, how much he had to kill a lot of Hollows, to be honest he was curious, today he had killed one and this Hollow was also quite strong because it had eaten a lot of animal souls, if it weren't for Bakudō and Shikai opening on time, then it would be over.

While on the ship.

"Hey! Luffy, that's our five day's allowance, don't eat it all at once!" Kondo and Zoro shouted simultaneously when they saw Luffy stuffing meat after meat into his mouth. When Luffy saw the wild boar that Zoro brought back, even if he was dying, he desperately put it into his mouth.

Usually, this man's appetite is extraordinary. After several days of starvation, his appetite became more like a bottomless pit.

Luckily, Kondo and Zoro stopped it in time, but there were only three days left of the five day slot...

"It's not a way to go around feeling like us all the time. Since there are pirates who don't know how to sail, it will make people laugh out loud." Zoro said after securing their little food left.

"Yeah, it's impossible to reach the Grand Line this way, we have to find it quickly..."

"Musicians!"

Kondo and Zoro said in unison "Don't worry about the musicians for now you idiots!" The three chatted, and a huge bird flew up in the sky. For Luffy, who was barely a little full at every meal, it became food again.

"I bet I can catch it!" Without waiting for either Zoro or Kondo to respond, he suddenly stretches his arms out to grasp the top of the mast. "Gomu Gomu no...Rocket!" Luffy sails skyward, disappearing into the sun over head.

Seeing this, Kondo and Zoro were confused while looking at Luffy who didn't respond at all, Several long moments passed with no sign of Luffy before a voice finally reached their ears.

"Oiii! Help me!"

The bird is more than ten meters tall, and the length of its head is almost the same as Luffy's height. The big bird didn't care much, and flew with Luffy towards the distance and Luffy continued to scream for help in the sky.

"You idiot! What are you doing?!" Seeing Luffy being taken away by the big bird, Zoro complained loudly. Luffy is a devil fruit person. Once it falls into the sea, it will sink like a stone. Kondo drove the boat desperately and followed the bird's flight direction...

East Blue, City of Orange.

A young girl with short orange hair was running down the street with a blueprint, while three pirates behind her desperately chased her, "Stop, thief! Hand over the map to us!"

At this time, a large bird flew over. It was the bird that carried Luffy. Suddenly, a shot from nowhere, a loud roar in the air, directly knocked down the bird. The bird was shot, and Luffy also fell right in front of the orange haired girl and the three pirates who were chasing him.

The four people were shocked by this man who fell from the sky, but Nami continued to run wildly. And the three pirates looked at Luffy full of anger, "Where did you bastard come from? You came to mess with us?"

The pirate in the lead couldn't help but smash Luffy's head with a punch, and the straw hat he was wearing immediately fell off and lay on the ground. In this way, Luffy was irritated, he immediately launched several punches and kicks to destroy them, and then he caught the straw hat, "This is my treasure, you are not allowed to touch it!" For Luffy, this straw hat seems more important than his own life.

Looking at the Three pirates that Luffy beat who were still not famous and whose origins were unknown, the girl with short orange hair just said not far away, "I didn't expect you to be so strong..."

To the eyes of Zoro and Kondo, the town was completely abandoned, as if every resident had decided at the same time to just up and move away...which when the two considered the presence of the Buggy Pirates probably was exactly what happened. Common folk just wanted to be left alone, and not get involved in the violence, after all. Making sure that the boat is properly moored, they follow the trio of men up the dock and into the city properly.

"Hmm, lets split up for now," Zoro tells Kondo. "We'll cover more ground that way."

"Right," agrees Kondo. "Let's meet back up here at sunset." Zoro nods in acknowledgement but before either of them can step off from the docks, however, a massive explosion rocks the whole island, destroying nearly an entire block of buildings. "What the hell was that?" Kondo turns to the trio of men they'd fished out of the sea. "Oi, what was that explosion just now?"

"One of Captain Buggy's beloved Buggy Balls," explains the man.

"Buggy Balls?" echos Zoro, brow furrowing for a moment before he turns to look at Kondo. "You think that this Buggy guy might have an idea of where Luffy is?" The Reaper nods in agreement, a smirk appearing on his face as he does so, and the two begin walking in the direction that the explosion came from. Thankfully, it's easy to spot due to it's height, and the fact that the roof is occupied by a large tent. The closer they get the most noise they can hear, too. It sounds to them like a whole crowd chanting 'fire' again and again.

It becomes clear to the two that another 'Buggy Ball' must have been loaded, so they move a bit quicker in an attempt to avoid getting caught in a potential blast. They reach a set of stairs leading to the roof, just as the sound of fighting picks up over-head. They take the stairs two at a time, and reach the roof in time to see an orange haired young woman smothering the fuse of a cannon aimed at their Captain. Her agonized scream is like nails on a chalk-board, but she doesn't relent in her attempt to smother the lit fuse even as members of what seems to be Buggy's crew close in on her rapidly from behind.

"Oi, look out!" shouts Luffy, causing her to turn rapidly to face the men. She shuts her eyes tightly, awaiting the impending onslaught...and slowly opening her eyes after several tense moments of silence. The men who'd launched themselves at her all lie motionless before her, and beyond them a pair of men stand proudly.

"That was sure a close call!" laughs Kondo. "Exactly how many of you were planning to jump her at once?"

"Kondo! Zoro! Man, I'm glad to see you two! I thought I was gonna be bird food for sure for a moment there! Hurry up and get me outta here, huh?"

"How long are you planning to keep playing around for?" Zoro asks him, turning his back on Buggy's crew. "First you let a bird run off with you, and now you're stuffed inside a cage." Zoro sighs and begins approaching the caged Luffy.

"Well, it's actually a pretty interesting story, ya know."

"So, you're Zoro and Demon, huh?" asks a gruff voice, giving the swordsman pause. "So...what do you want, huh? You here to take my head?" All eyes turn to a large man walking out of the crowd gathered in front of them. Kondo stares at the man in surprise. This man looks...Blue hair with a great big round red nose that looks exactly like a clown's nose.

"Not really," Zoro tells him rather bluntly. "I gave up the pirate hunting business. So, I'm not interested in you at all, Buggy."

"Oh, but I'm interested in you!" Buggy flashes a grin as he reaches into his coat, pulling a pair of daggers that he rapidly twirls around in his hands. "See, killing you and that Demon will undoubtedly increase my fame!" Zoro turns to face the man, drawing his swords quickly.
