New Body

"White, how come your spiritual energy is being mixed with curse energy."

"How should I know"

"My bad, I ask the wrong person. Old man, do You know what is going on?"

"I do. Do you remember your conversation with Tengen?"

"Yes"

"He said something about the world's will in you but that it was not able to influence you. If my guess is right, the moment you were able to obtain a body or a vessel, the world's will was finally able to reach you, but when foreign energy invaded your body, your hollow instincts must have detected the foreign power and tried it to repelled but it wasn't unable to do it but in exchange because of how similar curse energy and a hollow's spiritual energy are they must have mixed by accident causing your spirit to create a body of flesh to contain the power instinctively, of course, this is a theory."

"you are probably right, from what I have learned this past month, curse energy is fueled by negative emotions. A hollow spiritual energy is that of a human who becomes hollow, and the spirit is engulfed in negative emotions."

"Hmm, Ichigo, Ichigo I am sure you can already tell but there is a bad and good thing about this."

sigh

"Yes, while I will gain curse energy and have the chance of awakening a curse technique, but because I obtained a real body my soul will not be able to leave it"

"Yes but there is something else"

"What else?"

"Remember Ichigo, we are in a different world, the rules of this world nature may be different from ours we don't know how a soul can affect a body, and this curse energy is fuelling the creation of your new vessel but the curse energy was mixed with hollow's spiritual energy, so while your soul may not be able to leave your body, it could be possible that you have access to your hollow abilities."

"But something is missing here, my spiritual energy is a mix of Hollow, Shinigami, and Quincy's, so why is only my Hollow's energy being absorbed?"

"It can also be possible for the curse energy to filter foreign power, but your hollow energy was similar so it could fool it."

"That is possible."

"Hey King, it looks like your body is almost finished, what a weird thing to say."

With White's work, Ichigo's view was going dark and his eyes shut open coming back to the real world.

----------------------------------------

"Ichigo! you finally wake up!"

Seeing the collapsed reaper finally wake up Gojo went to his side immediately

"Ugh! I feel awful hmmm... wait I feel pretty good."

Ichigo moved his new body around getting the feeling of a physical body after a long time. 

"How long was I out?"

"A few hours, we brought you to the infirmary, but Shoko said she couldn't do anything since she had no idea what was happening to you."

"Understandable"

"So do you know why you felt unconscious and now have an actual body?"

"Long story short, the world tried to do something to me but my spirit counterattacked but was unable to fight against it and instead got mixed with causing my spirit to create a body or something like that."

"Got it."

"Really?"

"No, but I feel like it would be a pain in the ass to try to understand what you just said so I will leave it like that."

"You are a wise man."

"You finally realize how superior my intellect is, come on let us go with the others, they are worried too."

-------------------------------

Ichigo met with his friends and explained what had happened to him.

"That is crazy, but you are okay, right Ichigo?"

Shoko asked Ichigo with concern maybe it was her instinct as a healer or something else but her concern for him was evident.

"Yes, I am okay.in fact, I feel pretty good and was thinking of testing my new body you guys want to see?"

"Sounds like found so count me in."

"I have nothing else to do so I am in too."

"I am worried so I am coming too."

"Count me in too Ichigo-san, can I help in any way?"

"Thanks for the offer, Riko but in this case I would need Gojo's help."

"Eeh, what do you need my help for?"

"Since you are the strongest person here it would be safer for you to help me test this body."

---------------------------------

Standing in the middle of a field Ichigo and Gojo stood at opposite side facing each other.

"So Ichigo we are going to fight?"

"Don't be stupid, I don't know how strong I am in this body, I could be extremely strong or be the opposite and be extremely weak."

"So what are we going to do?"

"I am going to hit you."

"Okay, I understand, so basically you went to test how far you can push my Infinity."

"Point to you, for now, I will only use my physical abilities to see how good they are."

"Okay, I am ready anytime."

When their conversation come to an end Ichigo focus his mind and got in an attack position ready to strike with his bare hands.

'My physical stats were already high, I wonder how they are going to be in this body'

Ichigo bends his knees, putting a foot forward and arching his back tensing his muscles getting ready to sprint.

"Here I go, Gojo!"

"Come to me Ichig-"

BOOM!!!!

Gojo could not finish his words because the next moment Ichigo sprinted toward Gojo and a booming sound was heard as if the sound barrier was broken.

""What the hell""

Both Ichigo and Gojo exclaimed with surprise after the shocking speed Ichigo showed.

"Hey, what was that, I was barely able to activate limitless" (Remember Gojo didn't accomplish automatic limitless until a year later)

"....I think I underestimated my abilities."

"You think? You obviously did."

'I guess the old man was right, the hollow's spiritual energy. must have influenced this body and made it hollow-like. My body feels the power and I didn't notice but I am taller and my muscles are more defined than before, it kind of reminds me of Chad.'

"Gojo Attack me."

"What I am a Pokemon? Here I come."

'He attacked anyway.'

Gojos 's fist strikes Ichigo's stomach and sends him flying. 

"Ichigo!, you live?"

"Hmmm, so I am also able to use Hierro if I can use Hierro then I should be able to use that."

Ichigo was already familiar with his hollow abilities; he had experience with Hierro so when he thought that his hollow energy helped in the creation of this body he had an idea of what he may be capable of and that included the trademark technique of a hollow.

"Gojo get ready the next attack is going to be dangerous."

Recalling the feeling of a cero Ichigo concentrated and felt the curse energy mix with his hollow energy moving in his body

'At this point, it will be more accurate to call it mutate curse energy.'

with those thoughts in mind, Ichigo lifted his arm with a finger pointing towards Gojo. Four red lines of red light started to appear and a ball of red energy formed. 

Opening his eyes Ichigo said the name of the attack that crushes enemies without mercy and resounded in the souls of the weak.

"CERO!"

And the field was covered in red light, making it look like the world was dyed in red.
