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

This is Captain Zaraki's spiritual pressure.

However, Captain Zaraki's spiritual pressure now is at least ten times stronger than the spiritual pressure they usually sense.

Could this be Captain Zaraki's true strength?

In the battle against Captain Erin, Captain Zaraki used his full strength from the very beginning. What about Captain Erin?

Renji Abarai craned his neck, as if doing so would allow him to get closer to Captain Zaraki and Captain Erin and see them more clearly.

Unfortunately, Captain Erin didn't seem to unleash his spiritual pressure, leaving Renji Abarai completely clueless as to in what way Captain Erin was stronger than Captain Zaraki.

……

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Kenpachi Erin, let's fight!"

After removing the blindfold that suppressed his spiritual pressure, Zaraki's spiritual pressure solidified into a tangible form, radiating a golden glow.

Drawing his Zanpakuto from his waist, Zaraki charged toward Erin with a maniacal laugh.

Erin drew his Zanpakuto from his waist and swung it casually. Instantly, a white slash tore through space and hurtled towards Zaraki.

"clang!"

"boom!"

With a swing of his broken Zanpakuto, Zaraki's Zanpakuto collided with the white blade, unleashing a powerful shockwave.

Zaraki's advance was momentarily halted by Erin's slash.

Then, Zaraki shouted, channeling immense spiritual pressure into his Zanpakuto, tearing Erin's slash to shreds.

"Oh?"

Seeing that Zaraki had shattered his attack, Erin's eyes flickered slightly.

It seems that Gengmu has made considerable progress over the past decade.

In the previous decade, when faced with this attack from himself, Zaraki could only deflect it in other directions.

So, what about this?

Erin made a slight slash with his Zanpakuto in front of him, and a crescent moon more than a meter long appeared in front of him, remaining still.

Then, Erin raised his Zanpakuto high and slashed down with a strike that was more than three meters high.

"Crescent Moon - Cross Strike!"

In an instant, the cross-shaped slash in front of Erin, carrying a powerful force, struck towards Zaraki.

Getsuga Tenshou is a technique that Erin deduced and advanced based on the ability of Shiba Isshin's Zanpakuto, Getsuga Tenshou. It is unknown how powerful it is compared to Kurosaki Ichigo's Getsuga Tenshou with his twin swords.

But this move is indeed stronger than the casual slash that Erin throws.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Seeing that Erin had come up with a new trick, Zaraki burst into laughter.

After so many years of fighting, Kenpachi has come to realize that if he can't show more of his strength, Kenpachi Erin won't waste his time with him at all.

Therefore, in order to fight Erindo for a while, he usually goes all out from the start.

In this way, he can fight Erin Kenpachi for a longer period of time and enjoy the thrill of battle. In the process of fighting Erin Kenpachi, his own strength will also be greatly improved, allowing him to enjoy even more fun.

Every time Kenpachi Erin uses a new technique, it signifies his recognition of Zaraki's improved strength.

However, new techniques must be more powerful than those used in the past.

If one cannot resist, then the battle that follows will only be one-sided torture.

Faced with the incoming Crescent Cross Slash, Kenpachi Zaraki's face broke into an excited smile.

Gripping his Zanpakuto firmly on its hilt with both hands, Zaraki raised it high above his head and then swung it down with a sudden, powerful blow—

Dual-handed swordsmanship!

"boom!"

Golden spiritual pressure gathered in Zaraki's hand and then transformed into a massive golden slash that collided with Erin's Crescent Cross Slash.

The golden slash collided with the blue cross-shaped slash, creating a mushroom cloud hundreds of meters high.

Then, a violent roar resounded, as if a massive earthquake had struck the earth, causing the ground around the mushroom cloud to crack, tilt, rise, and fall...

In the end, the powerful shockwave spread, completely destroying the rocks, soil, and large trees that had been tucked away from the ground.

Upon seeing the shockwave, Oni Yancheng and Madarame Ikkaku's expressions changed instantly. After exchanging a glance, the two immediately drew their Zanpakuto from their waists.

Bankai - Hachiryo Tetsu Meteor

"Swastika-Dragon Pattern Ghost Pill!"

Two immense spiritual pressures erupted from Kigenjou and Madarame Ikkaku, and in an instant, the two had already completed the Bankai of their Zanpakuto.

Then, Gui Yancheng swung his meteor hammer, making it fly around him, creating whirlwinds. The high-speed spinning meteor hammer even turned red-hot from friction with the air, like a meteor hammer that had been heated to a high temperature.

"Explosive meteor!"

With Gui Yancheng's roar, the fiery red meteor hammer instantly ignited the tornado around him, transforming it into a fiery tornado that hurtled towards the incoming shockwave like a meteor.

"boom!"

When Guiyan City's attack collided with the spreading shockwave, it produced a violent roar.

The shockwaves from Erin and Zaraki's attacks were largely unaffected; after a slight pause, they continued to spread outwards.

The explosion caused by the "Exploding Meteor" was directly annihilated by the powerful shockwave.

"Drink!"

Following the eight-pointed meteor hammer, the three enormous axes in Madarame Ikkaku's hands and on his back were also swung at the incoming shockwave.

"boom!"

Madarame Ikkaku's Zanpakuto, Ryumon Hozukimaru, doesn't have any fancy abilities; all it does is greatly enhance Madarame Ikkaku's power and destructive force.

Chapter 226 Zaraki's Weakness

Chapter 225 Collision

Madarame Ikkaku leaped high into the air, his body radiating a red spiritual pressure that made him look like a demon. He swung two large axes at the shockwave in front of him.

"laugh!"

The massive hand axe, slowed by the attack of the exploding meteor, cleaved through the shockwave emanating from the group, allowing some of its power to dissipate.

However, this shockwave attack seemed endless. After Madarame Ikkaku's forward momentum stopped, it could no longer tear through the shockwave's defense. Instead, Madarame Ikkaku was directly blasted away by the shockwave and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"This……"

Following Oni-Genjo and Madarame Ikkaku, Kusajishi Yachiru also drew his Zanpakuto.

"Come forth, Three-Step Sword Beast!"

As Kusajishi Yachiru shouted, two ghostly monsters appeared on either side of her.

One of the monsters had gray fur, was short and stout, and had eyes that were the only visible part of its face. It held a large cleaver in its hand.

It was a creature with a vacuum mask, black fur, and a short halberd in its hand.

Then, Kusajishi Yachiru swung her sword at the front, and the two monsters beside her moved in sync with her, also swinging their swords at the incoming shockwave.

"laugh!"

The sound of air being torn apart rang out. The two monsters swung out the mist in their hands, once again helping Kusajishi Yachiru cut through the shockwave's airflow, and then came in front of Kusajishi Yachiru to shield her from the damage of the even stronger shockwave behind her.

"boom!"

The boulder beneath Kusajishi Yachiru's feet was shattered by the shockwave. With the help of the two monsters, she used the force of the shockwave to retreat a distance and regain her footing.

At this distance, although the shockwave was still very strong, it posed no threat to Kusajishi Yachiru.

"Xiaocheng, Xiaoyi, are you alright?"

After realizing she was out of danger, Kusajishi Yachiru looked curiously at Oni Genjo and Madarame Ikkaku, who had been blasted to her side by the shockwave, and asked worriedly.

"We're all fine, Grass Deer and Four Seats."

Oni Yanjo and Madarame Ikkaku got up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corners of their mouths, and returned to Kusajishi Yachiru.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Oni Yanjo and Madarame Ikkaku's injuries are more severe than Kusajishi Yachiru's, as it might seem that their strength is inferior to Kusajishi Yachiru's.

This is because both of them directly clashed with the aftershocks of Erin Zaraki's attacks, so it's normal for them to suffer losses.

Yachiru's Zanpakuto, "Sanbu Kenju," can summon two monsters that mimic her movements, and these monsters are no less powerful than Yachiru herself.

With the combined efforts of the three, they managed to tear a hole in the shockwave that was spreading in front of her, preventing her from being hit by the first wave of shockwave.

The subsequent shockwave was blocked by two sword beasts in front of Kusajishi Yachiru. If she could still be injured after that, then Kusajishi Yachiru's three-step sword beasts would be too weak.

"Captain Zaraki's strength is getting stronger and stronger."

Madarame Ikkaku's gaze was solemn, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

“Yes, last year we could watch the battle from that rock, but this year we can’t even protect that rock and have to retreat to watch…”

"We've already retreated to this point. Once Captain Zaraki and Captain Erin really unleash their power, I don't know if we'll be able to hold our ground here."

……

"What a terrible attack!"

Looking at the towering mushroom cloud in the distance, Renji Abarai was horrified.

Is this the battle between Captain Zaraki and Captain Erin?

When the terrifying roar reached his ears, Renji Abarai saw Oni Genjo, the third seat of the Oni clan, and Ikkaku, the eldest brother, unleash their Zanpakuto.

The fact that the two were wielding Zanpakuto in different forms from their usual releases left Renji Abarai speechless.

"The three seats of Oni-Yan-Cheng, plus Brother Ikkaku, are they... Bankai?"

Upon hearing Renji Abarai's exclamation, one of the elite Shinigami standing nearby turned around and glanced at him.

Upon seeing that this was a newcomer who had only joined the Eleventh Division this year, he couldn't help but show a proud expression, patted Renji Abarai on the shoulder, and said, "Isn't that obvious?"
