Chapter 418: A brain is a wonderful thing; I truly wish you had one
"Huh?"
Hearing this familiar voice, the figure of Kaname Tosen seemed to pause for a moment in the distance.
And it was in this brief instant.
A flash of black light, and Fang Mo had already teleported in front of him.
"Captain Tosen, long time no see."
Having just teleported over, Fang Mo cheerfully greeted Kaname Tosen: "How have you been lately? I heard that there's nothing but sand in the Hueco Mundo. Can you still grow watermelons there?"
"Huh!?"
Before Kaname Tosen could react, the blue-haired man beside him suddenly responded: "Wait! You... the one who killed Yammy in the Dangai is you, right? That guy called... what was it, Ryoka!?"
Hearing the other's words, Fang Mo also turned to look at him.
Fang Mo did recognize this character, with his trademark arrogant expression and blue hair, clearly the sixth-ranked member of the Espada, Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez, known for being extremely proud and always eager to challenge strong opponents.
"That's right, Yammy was killed by my little Sun."
With this thought, Fang Mo straightforwardly admitted with a smile on his face: "I didn't just kill Yammy, I also blew up the Dangai... Speaking of which, how did you guys manage to come here seeking death? Wasn't the Dangai blown up?"
"The Dangai was reconstituted ten days ago."
Kaname Tosen simply stated.
"What the heck?" Fang Mo was completely stunned after hearing this: "Ten days ago? Damn, I haven't even been here for a full day, is there some serious issue with the flow of time..."
"Hahaha, so it was indeed you."
Grimmjow paid no mind to Fang Mo's words, suddenly excited: "Great, I came to the World of the Living specifically to fight you. I thought I would return empty-handed, but you actually showed up!"
"Looking for me to fight?"
Fang Mo first paused, then looked at him strangely: "Isn't it... good to be alive?"
"You dare to look down on me?"
Grimmjow frowned and said: "You don't think I'm like Yammy or Ulquiorra, do you? They are cowards and weaklings, but I am not!"
After saying this, Grimmjow instantly launched an attack on Fang Mo.
Grimmjow's five fingers opened, clawing towards Fang Mo's chest at a truly fast speed. However, Fang Mo was even faster, directly swinging a big backhand slap. With a bang, a pale white wave of air swept across the entire street, and Grimmjow flew out straight like a cannonball.
"Is that all?"
After drawing Grimmjow's ire, Fang Mo once again began to ridicule, "A brain is a wonderful thing; I truly wish you had one."
"Cough...ugh..."
Fang Mo's slap was indeed forceful, causing Grimmjow to spit blood while attempting to grit his teeth and stand up. However, everything around him was spinning, and he struggled in vain to get up, only managing to look at Fang Mo with hatred.
"It seems you've gotten stronger again, haven't you?"
Kaname Tosen couldn't help but ask after witnessing this scene.
"Yes," Fang Mo nodded, not denying it: "After all, it's been a long time since last time, and I have been swallowing Jin Kela by package... It's quite normal to be invincible."
However, Fang Mo didn't indulge him, simply lifting his foot and kicking him into the air.
Then, Fang Mo aimed his fingertip at Grimmjow, and a white light flashed.
"Bang!"
Accompanying Fang Mo's gesture of a gunshot, the white light instantly engulfed Grimmjow in mid-air. Soon after the white light faded, a charred body fell down, landing right in the pit where Kurosaki Ichigo was, still emitting white smoke.
"This is the scent of the weak."
Fang Mo gave a middle finger towards the large pit, and upon seeing this, Kurosaki Ichigo, who was lying in the pit, darkened in face.
After dealing with Grimmjow, Fang Mo did not pay attention to Kurosaki Ichigo. Instead, he cheerfully turned his head to Kaname Tosen and started talking: "See, Captain Tosen, this is how you use a hand blade..."
"Do you think I can see it?"
Kaname Tosen retorted while chewing on something.
"Oh, sorry, I forgot you're a star player," Fang Mo said, holding his forehead. But then, he noticed Kaname Tosen's actions: "Hmm? You've started eating already?"
Yes, Kaname Tosen had already begun eating these essence berries.
Of course, the expression was very painful, tremblingly grabbing the essence berries and stuffing them into his mouth, feeling his eyebrows already twisted into a knot.
"The Hueco Mundo has many of Aizen's spies, it's impossible for me to bring this thing back."
While eating, Kaname Tosen said, "But the taste of this thing... it's hard to imagine there could be something so disgusting in the world."
"That's because you have seen too little."
Fang Mo shrugged and said: "There are things in this world that are even more disgusting than it, like the water your grandfather uses to soak his dentures..."
"Stop talking, I'm eating."
After hearing this, Kaname Tosen frowned even deeper.
"Hahaha." Fang Mo showed a schadenfreude expression, then steered the conversation back on track: "By the way, how is Aizen's research on the Hogyoku going, has it merged yet?"
"Are you starting to get impatient?"
Kaname Tosen said, "But you'd better wait, Aizen hasn't merged with the Hogyoku yet, but he already has a rough plan, and it should be implemented soon."
"This is too dawdling..."
Upon hearing this, Fang Mo immediately frowned: "What is his plan?"
"Previously, Ulquiorra and Yammy came to the World of the Living, and although you killed Yammy, Ulquiorra returned to Hueco Mundo with intelligence. Because of this, Aizen noticed a woman named Orihime Inoue."
While eating, Kaname Tosen said, "That woman's ability is very special, not an ordinary healing method, but a kind of rejection of all things. Aizen calls it a power that could infringe upon the domain of gods, and he plans to use this woman's power to help himself merge with the Hogyoku."
"Oh right, I remember now."
Upon hearing this, Fang Mo also nodded and said, "It seems like there indeed was such a plot."
Yes, reminded by Kaname Tosen, Fang Mo also recalled parts of the "Hueco Mundo" arc. If he remembered correctly, it indeed seemed that Aizen had kidnapped Orihime Inoue, partly to use her abilities to merge with the Hgyoku and also to lure Kurosaki Ichigo into invading Hueco Mundo to save her.
As for Aizen himself, he planned to take advantage of this time to invade Karakura Town and absorb souls to create the ken.
"Or maybe... I should just kidnap Orihime Inoue and send her to you guys."
Fang Mo said, stroking his chin.
