Yammy lay half-buried in the sand, his giant ankylosaurus-like tail twitching weakly. The Bone Circle had handed him one of the most humiliating beatings in Hueco Mundo history. Grimmjow was still laughing, the 4 idiots were arguing over who punched him harder, and Spike o Sensei stood tall and proud like the cactus legend he was.
I stood over Yammy's half-buried face, grinning.
"GRUUAAAH!"
[Translation: You got no proof that mutt's yours!]
Baraggan yawned on his throne and lazily translated.
"He says you've got no proof the mutt's yours."
Yammy grumbled.
"I raised him since he was a tiny furball!"
I turned to Kukkapūro, still sitting proudly on top of Aizen's head, tail wagging.
"GRUUGHH?"
[Translation: Kukkapūro, is this big idiot your master?]
Kukkapūro tilted his head, gave a happy little bark, and wagged his tail.
Everyone blinked.
I scratched my head.
"GRUAAAHHHH."
[Translation: That's not an answer.]
Baraggan sighed.
"He says that's not an answer."
Yammy growled.
"See?! That bark means yes!"
Grimmjow snorted.
"Or no. Or hungry. Or 'I like sand.' Who knows what that means?"
At this point, I looked at Baraggan, our seasoned, lazy old translator.
"GRUAAH?"
[Translation: Can you translate that bark, old bone?]
Baraggan groaned, leaning back like a tired grandpa being asked to get off the couch.
"Fine. I'm a senior translator, been doing this for centuries… Lemme hear that again."
Kukkapūro barked twice.
Baraggan squinted, scratched his skull, then cleared his throat.
"Alright, according to my translation skills — Kukkapūro said… Yammy is his master. Aizen is his master. You're his master. And also, those 4 idiots over there are his masters too whenever they're near you."
The Bone Circle fell silent.
The 4 idiots blinked.
"Huh? Us?"
I stared.
"GRUAAAGH!?"
[Translation: What the hell does that mean!?]
Baraggan smirked.
"Apparently… Kukkapūro thinks whoever's an idiot is his master."
Grimmjow burst out laughing so hard he fell over.
I rubbed my chin thoughtfully, then looked around at the Bone Circle, then at Yammy, and then at Aizen… who let out a proud woof, tail-wagging like he'd just won a tournament.
"GRUUUH."
[Translation: Well, sounds fair to me.]
Yammy faceplanted into the sand.
"I came all this way for this…?"
Baraggan snorted, already halfway asleep again.
"Another day in Hueco Mundo."
