Just a thought but the prototype hogyoku is it gonna develop sentience and have luffy characteristics and be like luffy own child

"when did I fall into the assumption that I'd be doing it all on my own" ur subtext is so correct bestie

Will Nel have the Straw hats Jolly roger as a new tattoo on her back to replace the "3" from the time she was a ethpada
?
Not really revelant to the story, i just found the idea nice

As always, i will wait till your next update, keep the good work

Nice story, the characters are well characterized to the originals

Also, not sure if you already answered that question but will the straw hats rememboring their memories, will make them regain their former abilities in particular for king of hell zoro and gear 5 for luffy, i just find a shame they don't have the real powers for now but perhaps you will do something about that, that's you history after all

Good luck with it, hope you will update soon

Very cool. It's not often I see a crossover be this faithful to both series in characterization.

More, please! I love your story!

nika nika nika! !

Finally some real we'll all have wait a while for it though.

can't wait for the clash finally thanks for the awesome story

AHAHAHAHHAHA DAMN HE TOOK THE HOGYOKU

hahahaHAHAHAHAHA! The mask, the Schrade, it SHALL SHATTER!

This was a very good fic, hope it continues soon

Ddammmnnn! If I had waited just a little longer to read this, I could have jumped right into the shit hitting the fan that has been set up for like the last 7 chapters!
I am so very much looking forward to all the shit that's about to go down! Isshin's daughters bringing home a few Hollows for dinner (will just Chopper and Lilly go? Everyone?)! The visored and shinigami making a move at the same time! Daaammmnn. Next, we'll have Aizen popping up out of the woodworks, too, or something. And I really can not WAIT for Luffy to get the chance to display his power, but also just his character in general
Also, I absolutely am loving how severely everyone is overthinking their motives. Two geniuses who also happen to be enemies are falling prey to the same conspiracy rabbit hole and Luffy doesn't know either of them. It's glorious. Not to mention the absolute perfect storm that was the raid and its consequences, without any real intent from Luffy. He truly is a force of nature.
I am excited to the crew to meet Ichigo. And I am looking forward to the fallout of them being friends with Ichigo's sisters

(Ps. The fact there was no audio for the afro conversation is a true, true tragedy)

Good chapter

All the women in the bathhouse’s eyes must’ve been like dinner plates seeing three invisible women taking a bath.

Surprisingly enough, they should ask Ussop for exercise tips. Aside from Luffy Ussop is the best on the crew when it comes to losing weight after all. It’s a shame none of them, realize/remember this fact.

I really like Nemu’s reasoning as to why Soul Society looks like futile Japan.
With the central 46 stifling progress to ensure their control and only a small handful of individuals retaining scientific knowledge after passing over, it definitely explains why Soul Society’s technological progress outside the Seireitei is moving at a snail's pace.

I also like Nemu’s answer about her hobbies, and how strange her club activities are. Then again, knowing who is in charge of their group, making secret passageways in Byakuya’s house is pretty reasonable.

Pretty good sparring match, and I like the strategy the three of them used.
Chad was the only one of the three that could keep up with Ichigo in a direct fight. Meanwhile, Ganju’s distractions, allow them to control the flow of the battle. Meanwhile, if one of the three is at risk of receiving a devastating attack Orihime could step in on defense. With this type of tag team no wonder Ichigo was being pushed to his limits.
As for who would receive the gold star for most improvement I would say Orihime. This is because of the fact she successfully took a page from Ganju and Tatsuki’s books during the sparring match in a notable way.

It appears Kon is going to be in hot water for a while when Ichigo gets back.

Lastly, I like their excuse as to why they are sending a captain as an escort. Making sure there are no other people around Ichigo’s friends' level of power back home, and getting a hands-on report of the world of the living after their systems went dark are both reasonable concerns.
Plus, I like their thought process as to which division to put Ichigo group under. It’s best to keep them together and choosing a squad that they only had positive interactions with makes a lot of sense. This only leaves squads 4, 10, and 13. Add in the fact that Toshirou can relate pretty well with Itchigo and their reasoning is flawless. The cherry on top is that they unknowingly lucked out in the fact that Toshirou would have good chemistry with Ichigo’s sister in the future and that Ishin is Ichigo’s father.
The only other squad I can argue is a better pick is Squad 13 as that is Rukia’s division.

I keep imaging when Ichigo and co. confront the straw hats it's going to go down like this:

*Ichigo raises his sword* "get out here hollows, let's make this quick"
*Luffy opens door* "No! Go Away!" * Closes door*
