“I can’t believe I landed in such a run-down place.”

Shin stepped out of the spatial gate and surveyed his surroundings. He seemed to be in a wasteland, with dilapidated Japanese-style houses in the distance. There wasn’t a living soul in sight—the area was completely desolate, making it impossible for Shin to identify which world he was in.

“Maybe I should check on the System Space first,” Shin muttered to himself.

He was quite worried about the situation inside. Although he didn’t think Kushina and the others would start a fight with Hancock, you could never be too sure. What if they really did??

With that thought, Shin entered the System Space. To his surprise, what he saw upon entering was the complete opposite of what he had feared.

Not only was there no conflict, but the atmosphere was so harmonious it left him momentarily baffled.

“HEY! YOU’VE GOT SOME NERVE SHOWING YOUR FACE AGAIN! GET OVER HERE SO I CAN SMASH YOUR FACE IN!”

Kushina shot to her feet, activating her Six Paths Sage Mode. The ends of her hair floated in the air as she clenched her fists and glared at Shin.

“Ahaha, Kushina, you’ve got to be joking, right? You’re not actually going to attack me, are you?”

Shin took a few steps back, chuckling nervously and contemplating a quick escape.

“Just try me. See if I don’t smash you,” Kushina said, watching him retreat.

“Alright, Kushina, that’s enough. Stop trying to scare him. If you frighten him away for good, you’ll be the one crying later.”

Mikoto gently chided her, and Kushina finally snorted and lowered her fists.

Of course, Shin was subjected to a thorough verbal assault afterward, but seeing that their relationships were harmonious and no fights had broken out, he breathed a sigh of relief.

This was good enough. He couldn’t ask for more, as long as they didn’t come to blows.

—————

Leaving the System Space, Shin could now explore this new world with peace of mind.

Everything about this world was a mystery waiting to be unraveled, and Shin felt a flicker of anticipation for what lay ahead.

“Looks like there are people over there.”

Shin activated his Nine-Tomoe Sharingan—his vision extending for a hundred kilometers, allowing him to see into the far distance.

Using Yomotsu Hirasaka, he instantly appeared dozens of kilometers away, his gaze falling upon several figures wielding weapons.

“Not human?”

Sensing a strange power, Shin was slightly surprised. The energy felt more like that of a Soul—what one would call a ghost.

“Who the hell are you, kid?”

The leader of the group, upon seeing Shin, questioned him arrogantly, a murderous glint in his eyes.

“You’ve got quite a temper,” Shin remarked with a raised eyebrow.

“Boss, calm down! Look at his clothes—he’s not just anyone! He could be a Soul Reaper! We’re no match for him, let’s get out of here!”

Just as the leader was about to act, his underlings grabbed him.

“Soul Reaper?”

Hearing their words and sensing the unique energy they possessed, Shin had a good idea of which world he was in.

“Is this the Soul Society?” Shin asked the souls.

“Lord Soul Reaper, this is the Rukongai of the Soul Society. Don’t you know?”

The leader, his previous arrogance gone, now looked at Shin with utmost respect.

Seeing that they had mistaken him for a Soul Reaper, Shin didn’t give them any trouble. Since this was the Rukongai, he wouldn’t be able to gather much information here.

The Soul Society was where Soul Reapers and souls resided in the World of Bleach.

The Soul Reapers and nobles lived in the Seireitei at its center, while the surrounding areas where other souls lived were called the Rukongai.

The Seireitei was the heart of the Soul Society. The areas of the Rukongai closer to it were decent, but the outer regions were another story.

The Rukongai was divided into eighty districts in each of the four cardinal directions. Shin was currently in the 80th district of the East Rukongai, an area not mentioned in the original story.

If it were the 80th North District, Shin would have known it—that was the Zaraki district, Kenpachi Zaraki’s home.

While this 80th East District might not be as bad as the Zaraki district, it wasn’t much better.

Murder and robbery were rampant. Here, killing and arson were a part of daily life. Only the ruthless could survive.

“I’ve really landed in a great place this time.”

Shin couldn’t help but sigh. This was a far cry from his arrival in the One Piece world.

Back then, he had appeared on Amazon Lily, which was at least a decent place.

“But being in the Rukongai is better. If I had suddenly appeared in the Seireitei, I’d probably be a public enemy to all Soul Reapers.”

Anyone who entered the Soul Society without a Soul Reaper’s guidance was labeled an intruder, or “Ryoka.” Shin was a Ryoka, lacking any official status.

Just like in the original story, when Ichigo Kurosaki and his friends broke into the Soul Society to save Rukia, they were considered intruders.

“I’m not a pure soul like the Soul Reapers and spirits here—I still have my body. I hope they don’t mistake me for a Quincy.”

Shin, who was about to head to the Seireitei, stopped in his tracks. Ordinary people couldn’t see souls, but with his Nine-Tomoe Rinne-Tenseigan and the extreme spiritual power of his Yin Release, he could see them clearly.

People with high natural spiritual power could see souls.

Shin wasn’t worried about not being able to see Soul Reapers, but he was worried about them seeing that he had a physical body.

A living person in the Soul Society, the realm of souls—the Gotei 13 of the Seireitei would probably not let him go.

“I haven’t figured out the power levels of the Bleach world yet… Better not start a fight.”

In the One Piece world, Shin could act without restraint, but in the world of Bleach, he had to be careful.

The Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto—that old man was too powerful. Though Shin wasn’t sure he’d lose to him, he didn’t want to fight him either.

When Ryūjin Jakka was released, Zanka no Tachi could generate temperatures equivalent to the sun’s core. Even with his durability, he would likely be vaporized by the intense heat.

Shin was immortal, just like Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, and couldn’t be killed. But he had no desire to test the power of Zanka no Tachi.

“I could Copy old man Yamamoto’s Ryūjin Jakka.”

Thinking of that terrifying fire-type Zanpakutō, Shin’s heart burned with desire. Compared to Zanka no Tachi, the Devil Fruits of the One Piece world were nothing.

But now was not the time to copy it. Shin didn’t plan on going to the Seireitei yet. He wanted to study the Reishi of this world first.

The atmosphere was filled with Reishi (Spirit Particles), but this was a remote area, so the concentration was low.

Yin Release represented the limit of spiritual power. Though Shin had never absorbed Reishi, his soul was incredibly powerful. He wondered how much his strength would increase after absorbing Reishi and converting it into Reiatsu.

In the One Piece world, though he had obtained some Devil Fruit abilities, his overall strength hadn’t increased much.

The world of Bleach should give his power a significant boost!
