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

"I have no interest in bullying you."

Erin stepped forward, slowly raised his left hand, and placed his left index finger against Ayasegawa Yumichika's chest.

"You see, if I wanted to, my hand could pierce your heart at any time..."

Ayase Gawa Yumichika's pupils contracted; this person was terrifying...

Am I going to die?

Just as Ayasegawa Yumichika was filled with fear, Erin suddenly smiled at him.

"I was just kidding."

Withdrawing her hand, Erin ignored the terrified Ayasegawa Yumichika and continued watching the battle between Zaraki and Madarame Ikkaku.

Although Erin considered their battles to be a case of two weaklings fighting each other, it must be said that after several battles with Erin, Kenjiro has grown and recovered most of his strength.

Even with the blindfold that suppresses spiritual pressure, keeping it at the level of a typical captain, Zaraki's strength is still far greater than when he was initially defeated by Erin.

In particular, Zaraki's swordsmanship caused him to unconsciously imitate Erin's swordsmanship during their battle.

Compared to the "kendo" that Captain-Commander Yamamoto wanted to teach him, Karaki instinctively felt that Erin's swordsmanship suited him better.

Nothing can withstand its cut, nothing can be severed!

Of course, the current Gengmu cannot achieve that level.

Well, not to mention Gengmu, even Erin couldn't do that.

Perhaps only by creating the "Sheath" can Erin fully master this "way of the sword".

However, learning Erin's swordsmanship also made Zaraki's attacks faster and more powerful with each swing of his sword.

Under Zaraki's attack, Madarame Ikkaku had no power to resist at all.

With each strike from Gengmu, he would be cleaved back dozens of meters.

His legs had carved countless crisscrossing deep trenches into the ground.

However, Madarame Ikkaku was also a ruthless person. Even though his feet were worn down to the bone by the ruts in the ground, he never ran away from Zaraki's attacks and always picked up his sword to fight him head-on.

Ikkaku Madarame and Yumichika Ayasegawa couldn't sense Erin's arrival, but Zaraki could.

At that moment, Zaraki lost all interest in continuing the fight with Madarame Ikkaku. He raised his Zanpakuto high and slashed down fiercely.

"laugh!"

This time, the force of Zaraki's slash was so great that Madarame Ikkaku had no time to retreat and dissipate the force. His sword was cut in half, and a huge wound was slashed from his left chest to his lower right abdomen.

"thump……"

"One corner!"

Amidst Ayasegawa Yumichika's gasp, Madarame Ikkaku collapsed to the ground.

Sheathing his Zanpakuto, Zaraki didn't even glance at Madarame Ikkaku before heading towards Erin.

However, as his body passed Madarame Ikkaku's body, Madarame Ikkaku reached out his right hand and grabbed Zaraki's foot: "Hey, you, are you looking down on me?"

"Why don't you kill me?"

Although Ikkaku Madarame was severely injured, Zaraki's disregard for him was more painful than killing him.

"Kid, do you really want to die?"

"I don't want to die, but I'd rather live on because the enemy shows mercy than die."

"cut……"

"Don't worry, I didn't hold back with that last sword strike!"

"It was your own survival instinct that made your body recoil, which allowed you to survive my sword."

"Otherwise, you would have been cut in half by me."

After saying that, Zaraki spat, broke free from Madarame Ikkaku's hand, and walked towards Erin.

"What's up? You've come here looking for me, is there something you need?"

Although a tremendous fighting spirit surged within him, Zaraki still did not take the initiative to attack Erin.

There are still a few years until the ten-year deadline; it's not the time to fight Erin.

"Yes, because I have a feeling that things aren't very peaceful in Soul Society lately, and there might be someone doing something dangerous in the shadows."

"I don't want the members of the Eleventh Division to die not on the battlefield, but from being ambushed and killed."

"So, from now on, just be careful. If you encounter any unusual situations, unleash your full spiritual pressure. I will get there as soon as possible."

"Hmph, you're really annoying."

Hearing Erin's distrust of his own strength, Zaraki snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Does this guy really think he could die even if he encountered an enemy like that?

It's infuriating.

Unfortunately, he was no match for the other guy in terms of skill, and Kenjiro wasn't the type to just talk big.

"Yachiryu, let's go."

Then, Yachiru appeared out of nowhere, used Shunpo to climb onto Zaraki's shoulder, and waved to Erin: "Captain Erin, goodbye."

"Ah, goodbye, Yachiru."

Erin responded with a smile.

Kusajishi Yachiru...

Zaraki, hurry up and become stronger, strong enough that you can tear all enemies apart without even needing to unleash your Zanpakuto.

Otherwise, you might never see Yachiru again.

I think if you really wanted to unleash your Zanpakuto, you probably wouldn't want to do so, right?

The spirit of a Zanpakuto and the companion who always stays by your side are two different things...

"Wait, who are you people? How could you be so strong?"

Just as Erin was about to turn and leave, Madarame Ikkaku, who had been helped up by Ayasegawa Yumichika, hurriedly called out to Erin's retreating figure.

"Oh? You saw the clothes we were wearing. Didn't you already know that?"

"We are death itself."

Erin stopped and turned back to the two of them with a smile, saying, "You two little ones, this world is vast. You'll never know how wide the world is until you jump out of the well."

"If you're interested, come to Seireitei and join the 11th Division. You might see even more sights there."

After saying that, Erin ignored the two of them.

Anyway, given Madarame Ikkaku's personality, once he knows the power of the Shinigami, he will definitely not give up the opportunity to become a Shinigami.

When Madarame Ikkaku goes, his good friend Ayasegawa Yumichika will go with him.

The Eleventh Division will soon have two more strong members.

Unfortunately, Madarame Ikkaku and Ayasegawa Yumichika have not yet become Shinigami, and the swords they carry are not Zanpakuto.

Otherwise, Erin would have gained two more captain-level Zanpakuto.

Well, forget about Madarame Ikkaku; even the weakest Bankai can't wash it off.

However, Ayase Gawa Yumichika's Zanpakuto, Ruri-iro Kujaku, is an exceptionally fine Zanpakuto.

As he watched Erin's departing figure, Madarame Ikkaku's eye twitched involuntarily.

They didn't recognize the haori that Erin was wearing.

However, the Shinigami uniform worn by Zaraki was something that Ikkaku Madarame and Yumichika Ayasegawa had seen on other Shinigami.

However, compared to those Shinigami who were easily defeated by Madarame Ikkaku, Zaraki is far stronger.

It was precisely because of the performance of those Shinigami that Madarame Ikkaku believed that Shinigami were nothing more than that.

Zaraki's strength caused Madarame Ikkaku to completely ignore his Shinigami armor.

It now seems that it wasn't that the Grim Reaper wasn't strong, but rather that the Grim Reapers they had encountered before were all too weak.

In the eyes of Madarame Ikkaku and Ayasegawa Yumichika, Zaraki's strength was already the "strongest" they had ever seen.

However, the way Zaraki acted in front of Erin just now made the two of them realize that the powerful man was wary of this guy in the white haori.

Clearly, this guy is even stronger than the one who fought Madarame Ikkaku.

"The Grim Reaper?"

"Hey, Yumichika."

"Ah, I got it, let's become the Grim Reaper..."

……

At the Shin-Yo Pharmacy, Tsunayoshi Tokina stared at the child's remains submerged in green nutrient solution, lost in thought.

This mutilated body was Tsunayoshi Tokina's masterpiece.

After becoming the head of the Tsunayoshiro family and learning their secrets, Tsunayoshiro Tokinada's ambition was ignited.

However, with the current Seireitei still suppressed by that "strongest Shinigami in a thousand years," even if he obtained the "invincible" Zanpakuto passed down through generations of the Tsunayoshiro family, Tsunayoshiro Tokinada did not think he was a match for that person.

To start a rebellion right under that lord's nose is tantamount to courting death.

However, even Gang Midaishitan couldn't bring himself to humble himself like that.

Therefore, Tsunayoshi Tokinada set his sights on the "Spirit King Power" that the Tsunayoshi family had been researching for over a million years.

However, the initial goal of the Tsunayo family was not to collect the power of the Spirit King, but to "eliminate" the power of the Spirit King, weakening him to the point that he could no longer have the power to take revenge on them.

Therefore, most of those powers were scattered among humans, creating the tragic existence of "Fullbringers".

In order to reclaim these "Soul King powers," Tsunayoshi Tokinada almost wiped out all Fullbringers in the world and blamed the destruction of Fullbringers on the Shinigami.

Until he encountered the Soul King "Knotted" Dao Hane Aura, Tsunayoshi Tokinada had an even more absurd idea.

He wanted to create a "Spirit King" under his control.

In the world of Bleach, whether they are Shinigami, Quincy, Fullbringers, or Hollows, the source of their power is the absorption of spiritual particles by their soul saliva, which are then locked within their bodies and refined into spiritual power under their control.
