Standing before the Black Ridge Gate, Uehara Shirayuki suddenly laughed as he looked at the two 11th Division tough guys who were about to release their black aura:
"Don't be so serious, I was just joking.
What do you want from me?"
斑目一角 stepped forward, his tall stature exuding an imposing presence:
"Originally, we were here to take revenge for the idiot Aramaki Makizo, because of you, he's still lying in the 4th Division barracks groaning.
But, of course, that's all just an excuse.
A waste like him, whatever fate he suffers, he only has himself to blame.
The reason we're here is simple, we want to defeat you and prove that Captain Kenpachi is the strongest."
"Right, beating you, the genius of the 1st Division, will prove that the 11th Division is the strongest division." Ayasegawa Yumihiko echoed from the side.
Uehara Shirayuki said with a serious expression:
"I think it's more realistic if you first go challenge the 5th Division Captain Aizen.
Beat him, then come beat me.
After that, even if you say that Captain Kenpachi wants to lead the 11th Division to the moon, I'd believe you."
"Damn it, are you saying you're stronger than the captain?" 斑目一角 didn't bother with any nonsense, directly drawing his katana.
Then, he put the scabbard and katana together:
"Extend, 鬼灯丸!"
As the words fell, his entire body suddenly released powerful spiritual pressure, and the katana in his hand instantly transformed into a long spear.
Other than that, there seemed to be no other changes.
Looking at the opponent's 鬼灯丸, Uehara Shirayuki thought to himself:
"Still you, 鬼灯丸!
Your Shikai was shattered by a rookie Shinigami's flat swing;
Your Bankai, other than getting bigger and adding a debuff of being unable to repair damage, is useless, and then gets destroyed by a ten-blade subordinate.
So pathetic, comparable to an old man's stand.
This bald head hides and protects his Bankai, is he afraid of being transferred, or afraid of embarrassment?"
"How about it, scared?" Seeing Uehara Shirayuki remain silent, Ayasegawa Yumihiko looked smug:
"I'm reminding you, although Yachiru is only the third seat, the 11th Division is the battle division.
Among officers of the same level, we are the strongest!
Though your beauty is not inferior to mine, a greenhouse flower like you is destined not to last long.
Such a fallen genius, what a pity, oh ho ho!"
He finished, and this guy covered his mouth and snickered sassily.
斑目一角 also smiled wickedly, pointing 鬼灯丸 at Uehara Shirayuki, confidently saying:
"Don't worry, it will end soon, I won't waste your time too much."
"Well, thanks for that." With that, Uehara Shirayuki placed his right hand on the empty scabbard at his waist and took a step forward.
斑目一角's somewhat flamboyant, narrow eyes narrowed slightly, thinking to himself, "Here it comes! But the speed is slow, the genius of the 1st Division, only has this much?!"
Before that thought even rose, he had already thrust his spear, a flash of coldness, fast as lightning.
Ayasegawa Yumihiko also shook his head continuously, saying:
"Facing Yachiru, you dare not draw your sword or activate Shikai, this is not how you fight, what an ugly battle!"
However, 斑目一角's lightning-fast spear struck empty air.
Both of them were stunned, where did he go?
At that moment, Uehara Shirayuki appeared behind 斑目一角.
He held the fishing rod in his left hand, his right hand slowly loosening from the scabbard, and said softly:
"White Season - Frozen Time Capsule!"
"What?" 斑目一角 felt a strange chill, and looked down, a white line was quickly spreading from his feet.
Soon, a giant ice capsule completely enveloped 斑目一角.
Ayasegawa Yumihiko was dumbfounded!
His expression was as if he'd been bitten by a dog, completely abandoning his usual carefully maintained so-called beautiful demeanor.
Ignoring the dumbfounded Yumihiko, Uehara Shirayuki raised his fishing rod and tapped 斑目一角's frozen forehead a few times.
Bang bang bang!
Ding!
Virtue +1!
…
Uehara Shirayuki nodded in satisfaction:
"Indeed, it didn't take me too long, a real man is true to his word.
The Buddhists have 'cutting flesh to feed the eagle', isn't this just right, I happen to be setting a trap, do you want to give a 'self-sacrifice to feed the fish'?
Guarantee you'll turn back to shore, become a Buddha on the spot?
If you don't say anything, I'll assume you agree?"
Yumihiko was even more dumbfounded, being thrown in the water to feed fish, of course, it's turning back to shore and becoming a Buddha.
Although he knew that Uehara Shirayuki was probably joking, the scene before him was simply too shocking.
Therefore, Ayasegawa Yumihiko directly activated his Zanpakuto and said sternly:
"Uehara 7th Seat, we were too loud just now, please release your ability."
"I thought you'd like it, the current 斑目一角 is more beautiful than before." After finishing, Uehara Shirayuki took a step forward.
Before Ayasegawa Yumihiko could react, Uehara Shirayuki had already Shunpoed to a distant place.
Then, the ice on 斑目一角's body shattered suddenly, turning into clear water.
The unfrozen 斑目一角 coughed loudly, "It's true... the rumor is true, this is White Season, just like Captain Kenpachi, it's a permanent Shikai..."
The only thing 斑目一角 who had personally fought could confirm was that the other party hadn't activated their Zanpakuto, but they had indeed used their Zanpakuto ability.
"So we've been frogs at the bottom of a well all this time, this is really not beautiful at all." Looking at Uehara Shirayuki whose figure was about to disappear, Ayasegawa Yumihiko was both apprehensive and awestruck.
…
"Kenpachi Zaraki's permanent Shikai?" In the distance, Uehara Shirayuki shook his head, and chuckled lightly:
"Indeed, longing is the emotion furthest from understanding.
You all admire Kenpachi Zaraki so much, but you don't understand him at all."
"Longing is the emotion furthest from understanding!?" Aizen, who had come to rescue them from afar, happened to hear these words, and his figure paused slightly, his expression becoming somewhat subtle.
Just now, he had sensed a spiritual pressure reaction equivalent to a vice-captain's level.
As a captain, Aizen naturally had the responsibility to check it out, and happened to hear this very resonant sentence.
The next instant, Aizen's expression returned to normal, and he Shunpoed to Uehara Shirayuki's side, "Uehara 7th Seat, did something happen just now?"
Uehara Shirayuki turned to look at Aizen, who was wearing a white haori, his eyes showing more admiration, and thought to himself:
"Building a persona in the daytime, rolling around to death at night, this man really doesn't have any nightlife at all.
Not afraid of a scholar being smarter than you, but afraid of a scholar being more disciplined than you.
'Sigma Male', terrifying indeed!"
He secretly complained in his heart, but his mouth was as sweet as honey:
"It's Captain Aizen, we were just having a friendly sparring session between colleagues.
Captain Aizen is so dedicated, the Captain-Commander choosing you as captain is the wisest decision he has made!"
For Uehara Shirayuki's praise, Aizen smiled and said in a gentle voice:
"No, I'm just lucky to be captain, the future surely belongs to geniuses like Uehara 7th Seat."
