I'm in Bleach, starting with Unlimited Blade Works.

The arrival of Unohana Yachiru did not affect Zaraki and Ichimaru Gin, who were engaged in battle.

Originally, Unohana had come here tonight to have a "Kenpachi" battle with Erin.

However, when he landed beside Erin and saw the figure fighting with a child, he suddenly shuddered.

The wound on my chest seems to be stinging again.

At this moment, Unohana Yachiru forgot about Erin; in her eyes, there was only Zaraki, who was enjoying the battle.

However, the more Unohana Yachiru looked, the more dazed she became.

So weak, so weak, so weak, so weak...

How could this man have become so weak?

However, after watching for a while, Unohana quickly realized that the man was trying his best to suppress his spiritual pressure in order to fight against that small figure.

This scene suddenly reminded Unohana Yachiru of a similar battle she had fought with this man hundreds of years ago.

Because of his own weakness, the man unconsciously lowered his spiritual pressure so that he could enjoy the thrill of fighting against him.

It is a disgrace for Unohana Yachiru to not allow the enemy to fight to the death, even if they give it their all, and still need the opponent to hold back unconsciously. This is also a disgrace to the name "Kenpachi".

Realizing her own weakness, after returning to Seireitei, Unohana Yachiru abandoned her position as captain of the 11th Division and went to Kirinji Tenjiro to learn the Dao of Resurrection, replacing her sword with a Zanpakuto.

All of this was simply to make myself stronger, strong enough that this man could fight me to the death.

After achieving mastery, Unohana incorporated her ability to transform spiritual pressure into crimson hot springs into the Bankai of her Zanpakuto. She had always hoped that one day she could meet Zaraki again and let that boy unleash his power to his heart's content and enjoy the thrill of battle.

However, she never imagined that their next meeting would end like this.

Soon, Unohana Yachiru learned the reason why this man had become so weak through the battle between Zaraki and Ichimaru Gin.

Before him, this abnormally strong man saw no one else; no matter how strong someone was, they would only be killed by him.

It was himself who ignited his enjoyment of battle.

At the same time, it was also himself who caused this man to unconsciously begin to suppress his spiritual pressure in order to enjoy the thrill of battle.

The culprit who made this man so weak was none other than himself!

"Captain Unohana?"

Seeing the stunned Unohana Yachiru, Erin asked, "Why do you look like this?"

Ignoring Erin, her reunion with Zaraki and Zaraki's change deeply affected Unohana Yachiru.

Now, Unohana simply watched the two fight quietly.

Ten minutes later, the battle between Gin Ichimaru and Zaraki finally came to an end.

Although Zaraki suppressed his spiritual pressure to the limit, his total spiritual power remained unchanged.

Gin Ichimaru, on the other hand, only had that much spiritual power.

When his spiritual energy was exhausted, Gin Ichimaru did not stubbornly continue fighting Zaraki, but retreated behind Erin.

"I'm sorry, Captain Erin, I was unable to defeat him."

"No, you did very well, Silver."

"When facing an invincible opponent, it is important to preserve oneself."

Erin patted Gin Ichimaru on the shoulder, expressing his approval of Gin's actions.

Gin Ichimaru is a snake, lurking in the darkness, waiting for his target's weakness, and striking with deadly precision the moment he bares his fangs. That is Gin Ichimaru.

"Ok?"

The opponent's sudden disappearance caused Zaraki to turn his gaze to Erin.

When Zaraki saw Yachiru Unohana next to Erin, his pupils contracted.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

Of all the battles fought over the centuries, the one that Zaraki enjoyed most was the fight with this woman hundreds of years ago.

Unfortunately, he was defeated by this woman's sword back then.

Over the years, he has constantly reminisced about that battle.

He believed that the woman felt the same way.

However, in order to experience that exhilarating battle again, Zaraki has not strayed too far from the location of that battle in the past few hundred years.

All for the sake of having another life-or-death battle when that woman reappears.

Chapter 106 The Battle of Kenpachi

However, to Zaraki's utter despair, that woman had not appeared in Zaraki district for the past few centuries.

If only I were a little stronger.

This is what Zaraki is thinking deep down.

If I were stronger and could make that woman feel the joy of battle, could we fight again?

However, after laughing, Zaraki fell silent.

This woman has become even stronger after not seeing her for hundreds of years.

And what about yourself?

Suddenly, scenes of his battles over the past few hundred years flashed through Zaraki's mind.

Although every battle was exhilarating, it seemed that his strength hadn't improved for a long time since he was defeated by this woman.

Thinking of this, Zaraki, who had just been happy to meet Unohana Yachiru again, suddenly lost his smile.

I'm afraid I'm no longer qualified to let this woman fight me to her heart's content.

The laughter stopped, and Zaraki pointed his Zanpakuto at Erin.

"Hey, I've already defeated that brat, now it's your turn!"

"Oh?"

Erin glanced at Unohana Yachiru beside him and, seeing that she didn't react, nodded.

"Okay, I accept your challenge."

Upon hearing Erin's response, Unohana Yachiru suddenly shuddered.

When Kenpachi accepts a challenge from someone, he must give it his all.

Given Zaraki's current condition, can he survive Captain Erin's attack?

As the culprit who caused Zaraki to become like this, Unohana Yachiru does not want Zaraki to die in his current state.

"Captain Erin, could you let me have this challenge?"

"Captain Unohana, I'm sorry, but since I accepted his challenge, how could I possibly give up my opponent?"

"If Captain Unohana also wants to fight him, let's wait until after this battle is over before challenging him."

Shaking his head in refusal of Unohana Yachiru's suggestion, Erin walked up to Zaraki and drew his Zanpakuto.

"Kenpachi Erin, captain of the 11th Division of the Gotei 13, hereby accepts your challenge."

"State your name, challenger!"

"Hey, all flashy and fancy."

Despite saying that, Kageki still responded directly to Erin.

"I don't have a name, but as far back as I can remember, I've lived in the Zaraki Ward of Rukongai."

“In that case, I’ll call myself ‘Karaki’.”

"bring it on."

"boom!"

A powerful spiritual pressure erupted from Zaraki's body, causing Gin Ichimaru to narrow his eyes with a solemn expression.

If that man had possessed that level of spiritual pressure, even with my "Observation Haki" that allows me to predict enemy movements, I probably wouldn't have been able to hold out for long.

After all, the most basic element of a Shinigami (death god) is spiritual pressure.

The immense spiritual pressure can amplify a Shinigami's speed, strength, and defense to an absurd degree.

When the speed difference between the two sides is too great, even if you sense the other's movement in advance, you will still be hit if you can't react in time.

"boom!"

With a burst of spiritual pressure, Zaraki, like a raging demon, charged toward Erin at lightning speed, slashing down with his Zanpakuto at Erin.

"too slow!"

Erin shook his head and flicked his Zanpakuto upwards.

"clang!"

"laugh--"

Zaraki's sword was deflected by Erin's sword, and then Erin's sword sliced ​​right through Zaraki's body.

A long wound appeared on Zaraki's chest and abdomen, spurting out a large amount of blood.

Zaraki let out a muffled groan, and continued to attack Erin with his sword.

But it's no use!

Having fought countless small fry, Zaraki's spiritual pressure had been suppressed to the level of an elite Shinigami.

With such intense spiritual pressure, in front of Erin, Zaraki was no stronger than a piece of rotten wood.

Each attack was cleaved in two by Erin, and Erin's sword would then leave a wound on Zaraki's body.

In just a few breaths, Zaraki had turned into a blood-soaked mess.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

However, Zaraki ignored the injuries on his body that were enough to seriously injure or even kill an ordinary Shinigami.

On the contrary, the more serious the injury, the happier Gengmu laughed.
