Chapter 527 - 527 A Girl Fell From The Sky

"Dondochakka!" Pesche, who had been thrown by Dondochakka, shouted loudly in mid-air.

"Brother! Don't worry about me! The most important thing now is to take Nel-sama and escape!!" Dondochakka yelled back, his back to Pesche.

Then, Dondochakka, who had already rushed to Tosen's side, suddenly opened his arms wide and tried to hug Tosen.

"Arrancar! Don't touch me with your filthy hands!!"

Seeing Dondochakka trying to hug him, Tosen, with a look of disgust, thrust his Zanpakuto at him.

Dondochakka, however, showed no sign of dodging... instead, he actively moved towards Tosen's Zanpakuto.

Schlick—!!

Tosen's Zanpakuto pierced Dondochakka's body. Seizing the opportunity, Dondochakka hugged Tosen tightly, restricting his movement.

"What?!"

Tosen hadn't expected that a mere Fracción, a small Arrancar with a funny and silly appearance, could be so courageous, risking his life to limit Tosen's movements in this way.

"Let go of me with your filthy hands, Arrancar!!" Tosen shouted in shame and anger.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Seeing that Dondochakka wouldn't let go, and with his body restricted, Tosen repeatedly bent his knees and kicked Dondochakka in the stomach.

"Ugh!"

Dondochakka was beaten until he spat blood, yet even so, he did not let go.

Nearby, Pesche, with tears in his eyes, took one look and then resolutely turned and ran towards Nel.

Swish!

Pesche's figure flickered a few times as he charged to Nel's side.

Bang! Bang!

Pesche fought off a few ordinary Exequias soldiers, then leaped onto Bawabawa's large body. Reaching down, he pulled Nel, who was being protected by Bawabawa, onto Bawabawa's back.

"Hey, Pesche! What is going on!?" Nel asked loudly, completely confused.

Even now, Nel didn't understand what was happening, why a 'great person' like Tosen would come looking for trouble with 'little bugs' like them.

"Nel-sama! This is no time to explain! I'll tell you when we have a chance later!!" Pesche said.

Then, before Nel could ask why Pesche was calling her 'Nel-sama', Pesche suddenly shouted, "Bawabawa! Run!! Give it your all and run like mad!!!"

"Roar!"

Bawabawa clearly understood the critical situation. With a loud roar, he ran with all his might, far faster than usual, towards the distance.

"Hey, Pesche! What about Dondochakka!!" Nel cried out loudly.

"I'm sorry, Nel-sama, but we can't worry about Dondochakka right now..." Pesche said in a pained tone, then didn't give Nel a chance to ask further, instead directing Bawabawa in their desperate escape.

After Pesche, Nel, and Bawabawa had fled some distance and couldn't see any pursuers, Pesche suddenly had Bawabawa stop.

Pesche said seriously, "Nel-sama, listen to me. Now that Tosen has made a move against us, it means there's no safe place for us left in all of Hueco Mundo. No matter where we hide, as long as we're still in Hueco Mundo, it's only a matter of time before Las Noches finds us. So, the only option now is to go to the Living World and find Toshiro. He's the only one capable of protecting you, Nel-sama..."

Nel said, somewhat surprised, "Go find Toshiro?"

Pesche nodded. "Yes. After all, this incident is related to Toshiro. So now, we have no choice but to go to him!"

Having said that, Pesche prepared to open a passage from Hueco Mundo to the Living World.

"Haah!"

Pesche extended his hands and shouted, desperately channeling the little Reiatsu left in his body into the void before him.

However, after several minutes, only a few black cracks had appeared in the void before Pesche. He was still far from opening a passage to the Living World.

"Dammit!" Pesche shouted in frustration.

Pesche was, after all, an Arrancar. Logically, opening a passage from Hueco Mundo to the Living World shouldn't be too difficult.

However, the Cero Sincrético he had performed with Dondochakka had nearly drained all of his Reiatsu.

So now, Pesche's body was practically empty, his Reiatsu almost exhausted, making it very difficult even to open a passage to the Living World.

This was also why Pesche hadn't tried to open a passage earlier. In the midst of intense combat, not only did Pesche lack the time, but even if he had barely opened an unstable passage, the enemy could have easily destroyed it.

'At this rate, it'll probably take another seven or eight minutes to open the passage to the Living World... No! I can't delay any longer! If this continues, the enemy will catch up soon!'

Thinking this, Pesche gritted his teeth and shouted, disregarding whether it would damage his body, desperately draining every last bit of strength from his limbs and bones.

Finally, with Pesche's desperate efforts, the black cracks in the void rapidly increased, and a black tunnel began to gradually form.

But just then, crisis struck again!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

A figure flickered continuously, approaching Pesche and Nel at great speed.

"Tosen!" Pesche exclaimed in shock.

The one approaching at high speed was indeed Tosen!

Swish!

Tosen immediately saw that Pesche was opening a passage to leave Hueco Mundo. So, without hesitation, while still some distance from Pesche and Nel, he sent a Kenatsu towards the nearly formed black tunnel.

Seeing this, Pesche's expression changed drastically.

Passages connecting two worlds, like Garganta and Senkaimon, are often very fragile. If attacked, they are very likely to be directly destroyed.

"Bawabawa!!" Pesche suddenly shouted.

"Roar!"

Bawabawa let out a fierce roar, then suddenly lunged, using his own body to intercept Tosen's Reiatsu slash.

Schlick—

Hit by Tosen's Reiatsu slash, Bawabawa immediately gushed blood, then let out a weak roar and crashed to the ground.

Swish!

Seeing that Bawabawa had taken the hit with his own body, Tosen, without pausing, immediately sent a second Kenatsu, this time targeting the nearly completed passage.

At the critical moment, Pesche shouted, "Open!!!"

The passage to the Living World was completely formed. Pesche immediately turned, grabbed Nel with his left hand, and threw her into the passage. With his right hand, he gripped his sword and held it horizontally before him, like Bawabawa, using his own flesh and blood to block Tosen's attack.

Squelch!

Tosen's Keantsu struck Pesche's Zanpakuto, severing it. The remaining force then struck Pesche himself. Blood bloomed, and Pesche was severely wounded.

Yet, Pesche never stepped back, nor did he allow Tosen's attack to destroy the passage to the Living World.

Swish!

Tosen flickered and appeared before Pesche. However, the passage to the Living World had already disappeared, and Nel's figure had vanished through the passage.

…

Living World, Karakura Town.

Toshiro stood on the roof of an abandoned factory building, looking up at the sky.

After his communication with Yamamoto earlier, Toshiro had ordered increased patrols of the Living World, even personally taking charge of patrolling Karakura Town and the surrounding areas. With the final battle approaching, Toshiro dared not be careless.

But moments ago, Toshiro had suddenly noticed something strange in the sky over this area, as if something was about to appear.

So, he immediately jumped onto the roof of this abandoned factory building to look up.

"Is it finally coming?"

As Toshiro's words fell, a black tunnel suddenly appeared in the sky. Then, something unknown came hurtling down towards where Toshiro stood at high speed.

"Waaah—!!!"

A pitiful cry sounded above Toshiro's head.

"That's... Nel?!!!" Toshiro exclaimed in shock.

Then, Toshiro instinctively extended his hands, ready to catch Nel as she fell from the sky.
