After leaving Stark Tower, the group found a burger joint for lunch. Yuma decided he would never eat with Tony again. All he ever eats is burgers!
"I'm here to remind you about something," Yuma said to Tony, taking a big bite of his burger. "Yesterday, I saw the people who attacked you before. It's best not to go out for the next few days before you go to the Middle East."
"How do you know it was them?" Tony asked. "I had Rhodey check it out afterwards, but he didn't find any useful information."
"I've had dealings with them," Yuma lied. "They're from the Ten Rings, led by the Mandarin. They specialize in carrying out terrorist attacks around the world.
They attacked you for two possible reasons. One is that they were hired, and the other is that they want to create some news to cause a stir. After all, you're a celebrity in America."
"The Ten Rings, the Mandarin?" Tony muttered, confirming that he had never heard of this name. He asked Yuma, "Who is this Mandarin?"
"Uh, I don't know much about him. He's very mysterious," Yuma said evasively. "I've only heard of him. He's very powerful. You'll know when you meet him."
In fact, Yuma knew the Mandarin, but he didn't know how to tell Tony.
The Mandarin in "Iron Man 3" was just a stand-in, or a stand-in he disguised himself as. It wasn't the Mandarin's real appearance.
In fact, the Mandarin in the comics is incredibly wealthy. He's been practicing mysterious Chinese mystical arts. He also wears what's called a low-end version of the Infinity Gauntlet, with ten rings of different magical powers. He's extremely powerful!
The problem is that Yuma didn't have "Iron Man 4" before he came to this world. He doesn't know Marvel's movie plans. Who knows if the Mandarin will appear later?
"Just be careful for the next few days," Yuma advised. "And the same goes for when you're in the Middle East. If you're in danger, crush the handicraft I gave you."
"That's something I bought with my own money!" Tony corrected. "What happens when I crush it? Will there be some magic to protect me?"
"No, when you crush it, I'll get a signal and come over." Yuma said seriously.
"To save me?"
"To collect your body!"
In the end, lunch ended abruptly, and the two of them parted ways unhappily.
After leaving Stark Tower, Yuma went back to his handicraft shop and prepared to go to Hueco Mundo.
There was nothing much to do these days. Yuma planned to kill the 7th Espada, Zommari Rureaux, and get his core before Tony went to the Middle East.
After fighting Espada while practicing Hollowfication, Yuma learned that his current spiritual pressure could barely defeat the 9th Espada.
The reason he didn't go to kill him was that his ability wasn't very useful to him now. But the 7th Espada, Zommari Rureaux, was different. When he released his Resurrección, his ability was to control, and he could affect his enemy's limbs or even their entire body.
Although my spiritual pressure isn't as high as his, I can't stand it when his ability is restrained.
In the anime, when Byakuya Kuchiki fought him, he had completely figured out his ability. In fact, his control ability was equivalent to Kidō below level 89. As long as he used Danku, he could disable his ability.
And I have Danku. It's an area-of-effect Kidō. If I release Danku all around him, won't he be at my mercy?
…
Banner and Betty didn't stay long after returning to the shop. They were now living in Queens, very close to Yuma, so they didn't need to worry about anything happening that Yuma wouldn't be able to get to in time.
After the two of them left, Yuma closed the shop and entered Hueco Mundo.
Yuma had already confirmed that the Espada didn't stay in Las Noches all the time. They were a bit like NPCs in a game, appearing in a few fixed locations, changing every day.
And today, Zommari Rureaux would appear at the edge of Las Noches. The other Espada would only arrive ten minutes after the battle began.
This was something that Yuma had explored with his life. He had almost been surrounded by the Espada several times because he didn't have time to escape.
"So, I must finish the fight within ten minutes!" Yuma thought to himself. "I only have three days. Otherwise, I'll have to wait until I come back from the Middle East."
When he arrived near Las Noches, Zommari Rureaux was already there, sitting cross-legged on the ground, not sure what he was thinking.
"Heaven's chosen one, iron-built city wall, dragon walk, lion's roar, tiger's howl, wolf's run, cut off heaven and earth before collapse, Bakudō #81, Danku!"
Without hesitation, Yuma immediately released Kidō. As long as he could trap the other side, the rest would be easy.
"It's you again," Zommari Rureaux looked at Yuma in front of him calmly, not paying any attention to the Kidō in front of him. "Who gave you the guts to come to Las Noches so many times?"
Snap!
Yuma didn't waste any time. He immediately Hollowfied and charged towards him.
Yuma thought to himself, I'm already surrounded by Danku. Why are you talking so much? I'll listen to you talk later after I knock you down.
"Naive!" Zommari Rureaux didn't move in the Danku, but another Zommari Rureaux immediately appeared behind Yuma. "You might have forgotten that I use Sonído Doble. I can completely avoid your perception and create clones. Your Kidō requires chanting, and it's too slow."
Swish!
The other side swung his sword towards Yuma's back.
"Sorry, I can use Sonído too." Yuma dodged the other side's slash and stood in the distance, saying calmly.
"Oh? Is this the kind of Sonído?"
As he spoke, the other side split into five beside Yuma, all holding swords and slashing at Yuma.
Yuma quickly materialized his Zanpakuto and blocked the other side's attack.
Damn it, the gap in Sonído seems a bit big, even though it's the same technique, Yuma thought to himself.
I thought I had mastered Sonído, but it turns out I only learned the basics. Now I'm in trouble.
"Hollowfication?" Zommari Rureaux said as he kept swinging his sword. "No wonder you can block my attacks. But what about this? Can you still block it?"
As he spoke, the other side's afterimages slowly disappeared, leaving only one body. He used Sonído to quickly attack Yuma.
Before, the other side needed to stay in five afterimage positions and slash at Yuma separately. Although the attack directions were different, Yuma could still block them.
But now, the other side suddenly stopped using afterimages. He was only using the speed of Sonído to attack. It was only one slash, but the speed was five times faster than before!
Swoosh!
Yuma didn't even have time to release Kidō that didn't require chanting before he was slashed on the shoulder. Blood splattered.
Without any hesitation, Yuma turned and ran. Damn it, I can't win without using Danku to seal him.
"Disrespectful. Las Noches is not a place you can come and go as you please."
Seeing that Yuma was running away, the other side immediately used Sonído to catch up, appearing in front of Yuma and swinging his sword at him.
Snap!
Yuma used Sonído to move a step forward, getting close to the other side, making his slash miss while grabbing his right wrist with his left hand.
Yuma pointed his index finger at the other side's forehead and said something that made him terrified.
"Cero!"
