A/N: Hey guys! Long time no see huh?

Well, this isn't perfect and I'm posting this from the mobile app instead of my laptop. Which makes it worse :P. This isn't perfect, and it probably needs to edited. So, bear with me on this.

This story is an OMEGAVERSE story! Meaning that male pregnancies (male Omegas), female's with ... a "third leg" (female Alphas) happens in here. You don't like it? Clicking on the exit button solves all of your problems.

DefendtheUndefended's Bleach/One Piece crossover story heavily influenced this story, but the main pairing was my own doing. Mainly because of this: there are absolutely no Ichigo/Luffy pairings, they are hot and adorable together (I drew a picture of them and I got a bunch of nosebleeds while doing so), and their personalities are more than compatible! I mean seriously! Ichigo is like a slightly calmer version of Nami and they both have orange hair and brown eyes too (I'm hinting at something here which will be explained in the future). So, if LuNa can happen, then so can LuIchi. Just saying.

Also, I will not be posting much due to me working on my last 19 credit hours this semester before I can fully graduate in May. So, I'm going to be very busy.

Now that's out of the way, I hope you all enjoy reading the intro to Powerhouses on the Ocean :D!

Introduction

"What the hell you just say?!"

It has only been a year since the end of the Thousand Blood Year War with Ywach and the Quincy forces. Only a year since Ichigo had accomplished achieving his full power, and killed the tyrant that called himself king. And now what's unbelievable, is that there's still another threat, the Hollows and instability of Hueco Mundo after Aizen, Tousen, and Gin had left.

Now, the orange-haired Alpha male looked at the new Captain Commander, Shunsui Kyoraku, full of disbelief and barely controlled anger after hearing the words that came out of the older man's mouth.

"There is no way in hell that I will ever be in a war again! No way!"

Ichigo, after finding out about his heritage of being all four possible races in one body-Shinigami, Hollow, Quincy and human, knew that he was a powerhouse of raw energy that scared the shit out of the people here in Soul Society. However, there was also the suspicion of them wanting to use him as their weapon of mass destruction to bolster their reputation in all of the realms. Now hearing that they need his help with subduing the Hollows once and for all, as well as the Quincies, Ichigo finally snapped.

"I'm done dealing with shit that you're supposed to deal with! I'm still human! I'm still breakable! I'm still only 18 years old! A child and I have been through TWO WARS already in the past two years! Find another powerhouse to weaponize, because I am done! You hear me Shunsui!? I'm sick and tired of this!"

The older Shinigami sighed heavily as he looked into the raging inferno that was Ichigo's eyes. He saw how broken the boy truly was inside, how tired and weary he was, and also how much raw power that is called his spiritual energy. His one good eye met those of the younger and angry Alpha and then he nodded.

"You're right Ichigo. You are still just a child, and human despite everything you have gone through 'dealing with our shit' as you say."

The other captains blinked and displayed various emotions as they took in their leader's words. Byakuya, Toshiro, Kenpachi, and Renji sighed in relief in various ways as they had worried about the man. Ichigo calmed down a bit, but still had a tense posture and clenched fists as he kept his gaze connected with Shunsui's.

"Because of that, we will take the time to bolster all our current officer's strength, both unseated and seated, and help them improve their skills. We cannot keep relying on Ichigo to keep taking care of all of our problems anymore."

The orange-haired teen relaxed a bit, but remained alert waiting for what else Shunsui had to say about what to do with him now.

His family, biological and extended, were killed in the last War. All of their allies except for Kisuke Urahara, Coyote Starrk, Tia Hallibel, and Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez, were killed as well. There was no one left for him to home too. His house was destroyed, memories of their deaths haunted him at night when he was sleeping. There was no one there to comfort him and sooth his screams of agony and anguish. There was no Omega at his side to calm him down in those times of hardship. It reminded himself, Shirosaki, and Tensa Zangetsu of the overwhelmingly intense loneliness that they all felt and shared on an extreme level well beyond their comprehension. It was probably due to him being so young, so scarred, and so much like a Hollow in his instincts and innermost thoughts.

Ichigo kept his focus on Shunsui as the raging storm took place inside his heart causing another rainstorm inside of his inner world. One that Shiro and Tensa didn't have the heart to complain about this time.

"Ichigo, since you had refused to do what was … 'requested' of you, I will send you on another mission that is completely different from the first."

This quipped the young man's interest as his scowl softened and became one of a more curious nature.

"I will send you to the world below us and have you learn about their world and ask that you live there since you can't go back to the World of the Living again."

"The world below? What do you mean by that Shunsui?"

"The Soul Society is actually a very large island that resides on clouds above an entirely different world than that of your own. It is still the land of the dead and where the dead come to when their living bodies have died. Their souls come here as a result of that."

Ichigo had to blink quite a few times as he tried to take all of that in. It was so unreal. Shunsui spent the next hour or so explaining everything to Ichigo about the world below, but warned him ahead of time that not everyone knew about the Soul Society being a Sky Island. That, and the possibility that their information may be outdated as well.

"So, pirates and the Navy going head to head with each other huh? Sounds like something straight out of the 17th and 18th centuries."

"In a way, it is."

Ichigo had never expected what may have come next in his exploration of the world below. Nor did he expect to have the most annoying companion of all time hitching a ride either. The next few years of his life is definitely going to be filled with a whole rollercoaster of sweat, blood, and tears with an accompaniment of sugar and spice too.
