“Swish! Swish! Swish!”
Sarugaki Hishiri moved rapidly through the treetops.
She wanted to hurry and get to the scene of the incident!
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
As she neared her destination, Sarugaki Hishiri suddenly heard a heavy series of footsteps!
“This is…”
Just as Sarugaki Hishiri was wondering who was making those footsteps, a shadow suddenly darkened her vision. A hulking figure, wearing a mask, stood in front of her.
“Clang!”
Fortunately, Sarugaki Hishiri reacted quickly and drew her Zanpakuto from her back, blocking the “masked” monster’s attack.
“Damn it… this power… what the hell is this?! You bastard!”
“Swish!”
Sarugaki Hishiri leaped back, using the trees as a foothold before attacking the “masked” monster again!
“Bang!”
This time, the “masked” monster’s attack was even faster. It struck Sarugaki Hishiri directly, sending her flying.
At that moment, Sarugaki Hishiri noticed the “69” tattoo on the “masked” monster’s waist!
“This is… Kensei’s tattoo?! No way!… How is this possible!”
“Swish! Swish!”
Sarugaki Hishiri leaped fiercely, jumping from the forest to the grass below.
Thinking about the possibility in her mind, she gripped the Zanpakuto in her hand and looked warily at the “masked” monster charging towards her!
“Could it be… Kensei?”
This thought kept swirling in Sarugaki Hishiri’s mind!
It made Sarugaki Hishiri, who should have been focused on fighting, lose her concentration.
In that moment, the “masked” monster arrived in front of Sarugaki Hishiri. It swung a powerful punch from above, rapidly descending towards the petite Sarugaki Hishiri!
“Clang!”
“You idiot! Why aren’t you using all your strength?!”
A familiar voice rang out in Sarugaki Hishiri’s ear. Opening her eyes, she saw Hirako Shinji arriving.
At this point, Sarugaki Hishiri’s heart, which had been hanging in the air, settled.
“Idiot… If I could, I would…”
Hearing Sarugaki Hishiri’s mumbling, Hirako Shinji took a closer look at the “masked” monster in front of him, then said with a sigh, “Hey, this monster really looks like Kensei… Even the tattoo is so similar…”
“Without a doubt, the person in front of us is Kensei!” said Hōgyoku Rōjūrō, who had arrived afterward, in a serious tone.
“This situation is truly troublesome,” said Yushima Bonten, the vice-captain of the Kidō Corps, with a serious expression.
Ai Kawaragi, on the other hand, was eager to fight. “This is a truly manga-esque plot development… I’m going in, oh!”
“Swish!”
“Smash it, Tengu Maru!”
Instantly, a gigantic club, resembling a massive cactus, appeared in Ai Kawaragi’s hand!
It was obvious that Ai Kawaragi’s Zanpakuto was a direct attack type, possessing immense brute force and explosive power.
Although Tengu Maru seemed incredibly heavy, Ai Kawaragi could still easily wield it with one hand, even spinning it at high speeds. He could use its weight combined with centrifugal force to attack.
“Boom!”
Ai Kawaragi swung Tengu Maru, spinning it at high speed, directly at Kuchiki Kensei, who had transformed into a “masked” monster.
The smoke cleared, revealing a sight that stunned everyone!
“No way…!”
“This is unbelievable!”
The “masked” monster had actually grabbed Ai Kawaragi’s enormous Tengu Maru.
Then it swung!
“Roar!”
“Bang!”
Ai Kawaragi was flung onto a nearby boulder!
“Ugh… Ugh!”
The force of the impact made Ai Kawaragi cough up a mouthful of blood!
“Rōjūrō!” Hirako Shinji shouted!
“I’m fine!”
Ai Kawaragi slowly stood up, propping himself on Tengu Maru. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, “Hirako, be careful! Kensei’s strength is far greater than before! At least twice as strong!”
“What!”
Hōgyoku Rōjūrō and the others were shocked!
After all, Kuchiki Kensei was a captain-level Shinigami! Once you reached that level, it was difficult to increase your strength exponentially unless you had extraordinary talent.
However, even though they didn’t know what had happened to Kuchiki Kensei, this increase in strength was truly astonishing!
“Let’s go together,” Hirako Shinji pondered for a moment before saying.
“Yes!” ×5!
“Swish!”
In an instant, Ai Kawaragi, Hirako Shinji, Hōgyoku Rōjūrō, Yushima Bonten, and Sarugaki Hishiri leaped into the air.
“Bind 63 - Hyakupo Rangan - Sajō Sabaku!”
At the same time, Yushima Bonten’s spiritual pressure surged!
Thick chains emerged from thin air, encasing Kuchiki Kensei!
In the moment that Kuchiki Kensei’s movements were momentarily restrained, the five people in the air launched an attack from above!
“Roar!”
Suddenly, Kuchiki Kensei’s spiritual pressure surged again! As he roared, the chains instantly shattered!
In that instant, Kuchiki Kensei looked up, launching a powerful Cero at the five people!
“Rōjūrō!”
“Understood!”
Hearing Hirako Shinji’s voice, Ai Kawaragi immediately swung Tengu Maru, smashing into the powerful Cero!
“Hyaa…!”
“Bang!”
Kuchiki Kensei’s Cero was deflected by Ai Kawaragi, who had used all his strength!
“Swish!”
“What!”
Before Ai Kawaragi could be surprised, Kuchiki Kensei appeared in front of him.
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”
In the space of a breath, Kuchiki Kensei unleashed a flurry of heavy punches on Ai Kawaragi!
“Ugh… Ugh… Ugh!”
Seeing this, Yushima Bonten immediately swung her Zanpakuto: “Crush him, Tekijō Tonbo!”
“Twenty-one Dragonflies Descending!”
“Bang!”
Kuchiki Kensei’s speed was unimaginable. Just as Yushima Bonten was about to attack, Kuchiki Kensei, who had suddenly appeared behind her, punched her into the ground!
“Damn…”
Hirako Shinji frowned and muttered, “From Kensei’s spiritual pressure now, I can feel a Hollow’s presence… Moreover, Kensei’s strength, endurance, and speed have all increased. He can also rapidly deliver consecutive punches. In this state, he can easily break free from ‘Bind 63 - Sajō Sabaku’. His speed is so fast that even captain-level Shinigami have trouble catching his movements!”
“There’s no other way! Can you use a higher-numbered Bind?” Hirako Shinji asked Yushima Bonten behind him.
Yushima Bonten nodded and said, “No problem! Are you sure?”
“Yes! There’s no other way now! We can only do this. I’ll apologize to Kensei later!”
