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

Night Sky reached out and pulled the Dark Chaser from his back, assuming an attack stance.

"Starburst - Stream Slash!"

……

"Tsk, at this speed, it must be really difficult for these servants carrying the sedan chair."

Because the procession was moving so slowly, Erin was getting sleepy and listless. So he cast a Binding Spell on himself, the Twenty-Six Curved Light, to hide his figure. Then he sat on top of the sedan chair, taking a break and letting the bearers carry more of the load.

After sending Roger and his four companions into Hueco Mundo, Erin lost contact with them.

Now, Erin's only remaining means of controlling Roger Shanks and the others is to forcibly bring them back into Unlimited Blade Works.

However, Erin could also guess that Roger and his men would probably make their move in the first half of the escort route.

At the current speed of the convoy, it may take several more days before they meet.

Take a good rest these few days.

After all, even if it's just an act, I still have to show the necessary strength.

Moreover, while Setsuna no Mikoto and Kurome are alright, Roger and Shanks have always wanted to fight him.

After all, the memories that Erin bestowed upon their masters were those of the Pirate King and the Pirate Emperor, both of whom were unwilling to be inferior to others.

Erin suspected that the two of them accepted the mission he had assigned them not only because they wanted to leave behind a legend like the weapon's owner, but more likely because they wanted to take this opportunity to fight him.

Perfect timing. After being idle for so long, apart from enjoying a little bit of fun during the battle with Zaraki a few years ago, Erin feels like he's almost rusting away.

I just don't know how long Roger, Shanks, and Kurome can hold me off.

"Sizzle, s ......"

Just as Erin was thinking about how much effort he should put in a few days, he heard a sound that seemed to be the collision of countless bones.

"Ok?"

Erin opened his eyes and instantly saw a sea of ​​skeletons before him.

"This is... the power of Setsuna no Mujina?"

"How did they get here so quickly?"

Although somewhat surprised, Erin still fulfilled her duty as a guard captain.

Ailin immediately removed the curved light and shouted, "Enemy attack! Be on alert!"

"Vice Captain Jiu Nanbai, you take command here. I'll go and kill the enemy."

"Yes, Captain Erin."

"Let's leave this to Super Vice-Captain Nanbaek!"

After receiving a response from Kunan Shiro, Erin stepped into the air and instantly appeared in front of the convoy, drawing his Zanpakuto.

"call out!"

With a simple horizontal slash, Erin unleashed a powerful strike.

The hundred-meter-wide slash cleaved the skull in front of it in two.

This attack nearly wiped out thousands of skeletons within a radius of hundreds of meters in front of it.

However, these gaps were quickly filled by countless skeletons.

Just as Erin was about to unleash another slash, a powerful black and red slash suddenly struck him.

Wherever this slash passed, the surrounding skeletons were instantly shattered, and even the air itself was torn apart.

This is Gol D. Roger's strongest move, a slash unleashed with Conqueror's Haki—God's Evasion.

"Binding Spell Number Eighty-One - Severing the Void!"

Ailin chanted rapidly, and a pale yellow transparent light screen, several meters high, appeared in front of him.

"boom!"

The black and red lightning strike slammed into the void created by Erin, unleashing a tremendous roar. Shockwaves spread out, shattering the surrounding skeletons into dust.

"Crack, click, click..."

The light barrier that had been blocking the slash for a second began to crack.

The attack, imbued with Conqueror's Haki, inherently possesses the characteristic of "ignoring defense," capable of blocking attacks below the 90th level of the Void Transformation, and directly destroying them.

In other words, Roger's "Divine Evasion" technique is comparable to the power of a level 90 or higher Breakthrough.

The next moment——

"boom!"

After shattering the void around Erin, the slash continued flying forward and eventually crashed into a small mountain in the distance.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

The violent explosion sent up a mushroom cloud nearly 100 meters high, with black and red lightning raging within it.

After the aftershocks of the explosion subsided, the small hill that had been there had completely disappeared.

"Okay, so scary."

Beside the convoy, the Grim Reapers of the Ninth Division trembled with fear.

Even the energetic Jiu Nanbai was covered in sweat at this moment.

At this moment, because Erin's attack was stopped, countless skeletons were already approaching the convoy.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. Captain Erin has already held off the strongest enemy. We must hold off the remaining enemies and not let down Captain Six and Captain Erin's expectations of us."

"Everyone, are you even afraid of such a weak skeleton?"

Near the palanquin, Kunan Shiro used his superb White Strike technique to smash the surrounding skeletons while cheering on the members of his squad.

The Shinigami of the Ninth Division quickly regained their confidence after trying to fight the skeletons.

The Shinigami that Kensei Muguruma brought to carry out this escort mission were at least members of the 9th Division, and were Shinigami who had completed the first stage of Zanpakuto release.

Although they were initially frightened by the battle between Captain Erin and the attacking powerhouse, they would not be afraid even if there were ten thousand more skeletons if their opponents were just these skeletons!

So these grim reapers bravely stepped forward, seemingly trying to use their current bravery to cover up their previous cowardice.

Two more "divine evasions" came, and white spiritual pressure rose from Erin's body. After injecting the spiritual pressure into the longsword in his hand, Erin slashed down with his sword.

"boom!"

The blue slash collided with two black and red lightning slashes, intertwined, and then suddenly exploded.

This area seemed to have turned into a mix of blue and black and red; Erin's side was blue, while the opposite side was black and red.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

The slashes failed to achieve their intended effect, and Roger and Shanks, disguised as Roger and Red-Haired Shanks, quickly approached Erin.

"clang!"

"boom!"

Erin unleashed a powerful shockwave even before his Zanpakuto touched Roger.

Streaks of black and red lightning erupted between Erin and Roger's Zanpakuto.

The two swords clashed, neither able to break through the other's attack. Finally, the aftershocks of their sword clashes shot into the sky, their power exploding and shattering the clouds, turning them into raindrops that fell to the ground.

On this side, Erin and Roger were locked in combat when Shanks approached Erin, his Zanpakuto flashing with black and red lightning as he slashed down at Erin.

Faced with Shanks' attack, Erin extended his left hand, and dense lightning gathered in his palm.

"Hado #88 - Flying Dragon Strikes the Thief with Heaven-Shaking Thunder Cannon!"

"boom!"

A bolt of lightning, over a meter thick, ripped through the sky and headed straight for Shanks.

"Shh!"

Shanks swung his longsword, unleashing a slash imbued with Conqueror's Haki, directly clashing with Erin's abandoned Kido 88.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom..."

Amidst the sky filled with lightning, Shanks, wielding his Zanpakuto, used the powerful "God's Evasion" to cleave the lightning bolt in two, then shatter it.

Despite the muddy ground beneath his feet, Shanks persevered under immense pressure, cutting through the lightning of the Dragon Strike Thunder Cannon step by step as he approached Arryn.

"boom!"

With a burst of spiritual pressure, Erin repelled Roger, and then, before Shanks could completely sever the Flying Dragon Strike Thunder Cannon, he used Shunpo to dodge.

"boom!"

Shanks's sword strike shattered the lightning and slammed into the ground, creating a crater over ten meters deep. The soil and rocks in the crater were blasted into the air and then pulverized by the aftershocks of "God's Evasion".

Arlin looked at Roger and Shanks with a solemn expression.

As expected of the Pirate King and Pirate Emperor.

Their swordsmanship may be inferior to Erin's, but with the enhancement of the three types of Haki, they are not without the power to fight Erin.

"call out!"

"Shhhhhh!"

Next, this space seemed to become a terrifying forbidden zone.

Every clash of swords generates a massive shockwave.

The sky and the earth were shattered into pieces, a scene of apocalypse.

On the other side, thanks to the efforts of the Ninth Division's Shinigami, although the number of skeletons was large, none of them were able to breach the palanquin.

At this moment, while these Grim Reapers were killing the approaching Skeletons, they couldn't help but turn their gazes toward the side where Captain Erin was fighting.

Even though it was dozens of miles away, they could feel the terrifying spiritual pressure emanating from there, as well as the rumbling sounds coming from there.

When had these Grim Reapers, including Kunan Shiro, ever seen such a powerful battle?

The strongest person they had ever met was their own captain, Kensei Muguruma.
