Chapter 1269 The Grave Situation
Although Claire was careful not to go out of the established protocols, she had no way of hiding Aizen's presence. So when she felt multiple people approaching their direction, she could only sigh, 'I was hoping it'd be a quiet entrance, but that's impossible, huh?'
They are currently in the vicinity of the Senkaimon(World Penetration Gate) and Claire didn't hesitate to take a sidestep to gain some distance from Aizen.
Aizen, meanwhile, slowly raised his left arm and as he did, a bulky man with a large grin plastered on his face suddenly appeared in front of him, swinging down his tattered blade.
The blade went an inch deep into Aizen's arm, but it didn't go any further, "As brash as ever, Kenpachi Zaraki."
Zaraki's smile went wider and said, "And you're as tough as ever. That's great!" He tried pushing his blade down further but he only advanced by a few millimeters when Aizen's would suddenly start bubbling up and Zaraki had to retreat before his sword got stuck.
Zaraki was about to go in for another attack when he suddenly felt a massive heat source approaching them. When he turned around, Zaraki couldn't help but click his tongue, "Tch... Now the fun's over."
Aizen also didn't do anything and just waited for the old man to reach them.
The moment the old man landed, the bricks under his feet immediately started melting. Before it could get any worse, the flames around him began retracting and the temperature around them slowly came down to normal levels.
The old man, Yamamoto, first both looked at Aizen and Zaraki and sighed before turning to Claire who took some distance and smiled, "Claire. I'm glad to see you doing alright. You're not pushing yourself, are you?"
