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

That's it, that's it!

How many years has it been since I've experienced a battle like this?

It seems that ever since he was defeated by that woman, he has never enjoyed a battle like this.

But...

I don't want this battle to end like this!

"boom!"

The thrill of battle awakened Zaraki's instincts.

His spiritual pressure began to surge.

At this moment, Zaraki's spiritual pressure had reached the level of a seated official.

Zaraki's changes were quickly noticed by Gin Ichimaru and Yachiru Unohana.

The first thing that came to mind for Gin Ichimaru was that before this man challenged Captain Erin, Captain Erin had told him to stay at least ten kilometers away.

Now it seems that, although we don't know what's going on with this man, his true strength is probably far more terrifying than we imagined.

Meanwhile, Mao no Hana Yachiru was overjoyed.

It seems that Zaraki's situation is better than he had imagined.

In the face of life-or-death battles, his suppressed spiritual pressure will be released, allowing Zaraki to enjoy the fight with even greater strength.

That night, under Erin's attack, Kenpachi Zaraki unleashed his spiritual pressure twice more, raising it to the level of an ordinary captain.

“Indeed, Zaraki, I admit you are qualified to challenge me.”

"But this is the end!"

Gin Ichimaru glanced at the battle being watched from afar. The fight between Erin and Zaraki was no longer something Gin Ichimaru could watch.

Although Captain Unohana was standing beside Yachiru Unohana, blocking the aftershocks of Erin and Zaraki's battle, Gin Ichimaru was still too weak. Even the aftershocks that just leaked from Unohana were difficult for him to handle.

He raised his Zanpakuto high, and then Erin swung it down suddenly.

"boom!"

A powerful slash tore through the sky, carrying immense force, and hurtled towards Zaraki.

"Aha!"

Faced with Erin's slash, Zaraki had no idea how to dodge.

What he did was unleash all his spiritual pressure and use all his strength to fiercely strike down at the attack.

"Boom boom boom——"

The slash met Zaraki's sword briefly for a few breaths before engulfing Zaraki completely.

"boom--"

Everything in its path was pulverized by the slash.

A huge trench, tens of meters deep and over a hundred meters long, was carved directly into the ground.

"Little sword!"

Seeing this, Yachiru, who was hiding behind the rock, panicked and quickly ran towards Zaraki, who had been slashed away by Erin.

"Little Sword, Little Sword..."

Seeing Zaraki covered in blood, Yachiru was so anxious that tears streamed down her face. She pushed Zaraki's body with her small hands, hoping to get a response from him.

However, Erin did not hold back in his final strike.

If Kenpachi Zaraki hadn't unleashed another wave of spiritual pressure in the face of death, he probably would have been cleaved in two by Erin's slash.

Even so, Zaraki was severely injured and unable to recover.

"As expected of Zaraki, he survived taking one of my sword strikes."

Erin was also deeply impressed by this.

It should be noted that Zaraki's spiritual pressure is currently only at the level of an ordinary captain.

"Whoosh..."

Behind Yachiru, Unohana Yachiru's figure appeared instantly.

Unohana Yachiru crouched down, and a green light emanated from her hands, enveloping Zaraki's entire body.

However, Zaraki's injuries were far too severe.

Even with Retsu Unohana's ability to recover, she could only temporarily stabilize Zaraki's situation.

To completely cure him, he would have to use his own Zanpakuto to release and swallow Zaraki.

Holding her Zanpakuto, Unohana Yachiru's mind was racing.

She had Kotetsu Isane inquire about Kenpachi Erin's whereabouts from the Eleventh Division members who came to the Fourth Division for treatment, because she wanted to have a full-blown battle with Erin and test whether she possessed the strength to make that little boy from hundreds of years ago use all his power.

Or perhaps he would die at Erin's hands, allowing Erin Kenpachi to go to the appointment in his place and wash away the shame he brought to the name "Kenpachi".

But unexpectedly, I ran into Zaraki here.

"Ugh……"

With a sigh, she pulled out the hair tie, and soon, Unohana Yachiru's long, loose hair was braided into a thick plait, hanging down from her chest and once again covering the hideous scar on her chest.

At this moment, the murderer Unohana Yachiru transformed once again into the Fourth Division Captain Unohana Retsu.

"Captain Erin, I originally came here today to have a 'Kenpachi' battle with Erin, but it seems I will have to break my promise."

Erin shook his head as he sheathed his Zanpakuto at his waist.

"Captain Unohana is joking. You never made a promise to me, so how can you say you broke it?"

"However, it's clear that Captain Unohana cares a lot about this guy; she even gave up the Kenpachi challenge for him."

Ignoring Erin's teasing, Retsu Unohana drew her Zanpakuto.

"Rou Shizuku!"

As Retsu Unohana called out, the Zanpakuto in her hand transformed into a green mist, which condensed in the air and eventually became a giant ray flying in the sky.

"Swallow him, flesh dregs."

Upon hearing Unohana Retsu's command, the giant one-eyed ray opened its massive jaws, flew down from the sky, and swallowed the heavily injured Zaraki along with a large chunk of ground where he was lying.

"Little sword!"

Upon seeing this, little Yachiru shouted anxiously and rushed towards the giant one-eyed ray.

But halfway there, Yachiru was picked up from behind by Unohana Retsu.

"Don't worry, Zaraki-kun is fine. I'll take you back to Seireitei to heal your wounds."

After saying that, Retsu Unohana flashed and appeared on the body of the one-eyed ray with Yachiru.

"Go back, Minashizuki."

The one-eyed ray traced a semicircle in the sky, obeying Retsu Unohana's will, and flew towards the Seireitei.

"Captain Erin."

After Retsu Unohana left with Zaraki, Gin Ichimaru came up behind Erin and asked curiously, "Who exactly is that Zaraki?"

"And, Captain Unohana..."

Chapter 107 Unohana's Request

The events that happened tonight have truly opened Gin Ichimaru's eyes.

At the same time, it also brought him many questions.

The fourth division of the Gotei 13 is the healing division.

The team members are all Shinigami who are proficient in healing techniques, or their Zanpakuto are healing-type Zanpakuto.

Retsu Unohana, the captain of the Fourth Division, is considered by everyone to be the gentlest and most beautiful captain.

Everyone knows how powerful the captain is, but as the captain of the healing squad, everyone secretly feels that Captain Unohana's strength may not be as great as that of the other captains.

After all, the other captains have experience fighting outside, but no one has ever seen Captain Unohana take action.

It can be said that the Fourth Division is the weakest of the Gotei 13 in terms of combat strength.

But what did he just see?

His deathly expression, cold and cruel voice, and icy aura were almost no less than those of the guy named Gengmu.

You call this weak?

"Oh? I didn't realize you'd care about these things, Gin?"

Erin gave Silver a strange look.

He had always thought that Gin Ichimaru had nothing to care about except Rangiku.

Gin Ichimaru smiled with narrowed eyes, but didn't say anything.

He used to think that if Rangiku came to Seireitei and became a Shinigami in the future, he hoped that Rangiku would join the Fourth Division.

But Captain Unohana's unprecedented demeanor today made him wary of the entire Gotei 13.

Aizen Sousuke, the seemingly refined and gentle vice-captain of the Fifth Division, is the culprit who stole something important from Rangiku.

The Fourth Division Captain Unohana, who is seen by others as a dignified and gentle woman, actually showed such a terrifying expression.

It was as if life itself held no weight in her eyes.

So, what other faces lie behind the strongest Shinigami in front of him, "Kenpachi"?

"However, since you want to know, I will tell you so that you can learn more about the Soul Society and avoid offending people in the future."

Erin slowly spoke, inviting Gin Ichimaru to sit on the rock where Yachiru Kusajishi had previously hidden.

"Let's start with Captain Unohana."

"A thousand years ago, Captain-Commander Yamamoto established the Gotei 13, among which the first captains of the Gotei 13 were known as the 'Strongest Gotei 13'."
