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

"Stop talking nonsense. A challenge is a challenge. Besides, I'm not the same person I was a few days ago. Let's fight, Kenpachi Erin!"

"How stupid."

Erin shook his head: "Kenki, it seems you haven't grasped the difference between us yet."

"Next, I hope you won't blink, because our battle will be over in an instant."

Erin's figure suddenly appeared in front of Zaraki, his right hand outstretched, almost covering half of Zaraki's face.

Then--

"boom!"

The body of Zaraki, who was a head taller than Erin, was slammed into the ground by Erin, creating a crater more than three meters deep.

"puff……"

Having been attacked like this, Zaraki couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Then, he placed his left hand on Erin's right hand, trying to pry Erin's hand off his face, while raising his Zanpakuto with his right hand and slashing down at Erin.

"Armed!"

"clang!"

A large amount of spiritual energy condensed around Erin's body, forming a visible spiritual energy barrier. When Zaraki's attack struck Erin, it only sparked a few wisps of sparks and did not cause Erin any damage at all.

"You don't even have the strength to chop someone up? Is this the same person you were a few days ago?"

Holding down Zaraki's head, Erin lifted him out of the pit. With Erin's height, he could barely lift Zaraki, who was a head taller than him, into the air.

"Hado #11 - Lightning Bolt!"

As Erin chanted, blue lightning instantly condensed in Erin's right hand, spreading and penetrating throughout Zaraki's entire body.

"Sizzsssssssssss..."

The lightning attacks did not cause much damage to Zaraki, but they did temporarily paralyze him.

Then, Erin flicked his hand, sending Zaraki flying into the air with great force.

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

"boom!"

A bolt of lightning, over a meter thick, shot out from the ground and engulfed Gengmu.

After the lightning flashed, Zaraki fell from the sky and collapsed on the ground like a lump of mud, black smoke billowing from his mouth.

Having taken the direct hit of the 88th Kido, even Zaraki was severely injured and lost the ability to fight again.

Erin walked up to Zaraki and said, "Zaraki, join the Eleventh Division and become my vice-captain."

"Once you become my vice-captain, I can promise you that you will have one chance to challenge me every ten years."

"When I fight you, I will not use any means other than swordsmanship."

"how?"

After speaking, Erin did not wait for Zaraki's reply. Instead, he first used Rejuvenation Healing on several of the more seriously injured team members, and then sent the other team members to the Fourth Division for treatment.

By the way, send Genki over as well.

The trouble caused by Zaraki is best left to the Fourth Division to handle; that's the right thing to do.

A few days later, all the members of the Eleventh Division recovered and returned to the Eleventh Division from the Fourth Division.

Zaraki and Yachiru Kusajishi also returned with them.

After being defeated by Erin in an extremely ferocious manner that day, Zaraki realized that his current strength was still far from Erin's level.

Of course, more importantly, Erin agreed to use only slashing techniques to fight him during his challenge.

Kido, that kind of thing, has absolutely no sense of impact, which is the fighting style that Zaraki hates the most.

For these team members who had just been trained by Zaraki, no one objected to Zaraki becoming the vice-captain of the Eleventh Division.

Even the former deputy captain of Guiyan City bowed his head in humility.

He didn't know that without Erin, Onigenjo could have been the captain for decades, but was eventually killed by Zaraki.

With Erin keeping him in check, Oni Ichiro did not become the captain of the 11th Division, and naturally, he was spared the calamity of death.

After Zaraki joined the Eleventh Division, Erin was completely freed.

With his current strength, Zaraki is definitely a captain-level player.

The Eleventh Division's combat missions can be completed by Zaraki alone; there's no need for Erin at all.

So, after leaving the Eleventh Division to Zaraki, Erin happily returned to the Kuchiki family and lived a carefree, semi-retired life with Haruko.

……

"Shoot him, sharpshooter!"

A flash of white light, and the bald Grim Reaper felt a chill in his chest.

Looking down, he saw a section of the blade protruding from his chest, with blood still dripping from it.

"Oh? Interesting."

Beside the bald Shinigami, Aizen turned his head and looked back along the blade on the bald Shinigami's chest. He saw a short Shinigami standing there dozens of meters away.

The other end of the forty-meter-long blade was held in the hand of this short figure.

In the white light, the forty-meter-long sword shortened, reverting to the appearance of an ordinary Zanpakuto.

The bald Grim Reaper collapsed to the ground, the light in his eyes gradually fading.

"So this is the genius boy who became the fifth seat in just three short years after joining the Eleventh Division."

"Why did Fifth Seat Ichimaru kill our Fifth Division's Fifth Seat? Are you trying to provoke a battle between the Fifth and Eleventh Divisions?"

Although the fifth seat of his own division was killed, Aizen Sousuke did not seem to feel any sadness or indignation, nor did he even have any intention of avenging his division's Shinigami.

It was as if the person Gin Ichimaru had just killed was not one of his companions, but merely an ant on the ground.

Chapter 109 Hirako Mako

"Oh dear, Lieutenant Aizen, what are you saying?"

"How could I possibly want to start a battle between the Fifth Division and the Eleventh Division?"

Gin Ichimaru sheathed his Zanpakuto and slowly walked towards Aizen.

It must be said that Gin Ichimaru is a true genius.

In just a few years, he completed the creation of his Zanpakuto and reached the first stage of its liberation.

In the seat challenge, he was invincible all the way and directly became the fifth seat of the eleventh division.

The vice-captain is Zaraki, the third seat is Kusajishi Yachiru, and the fourth seat is Oni Genjo.

In this challenge, Oni Yancheng completed his Bankai training and challenged Zaraki with great momentum. He was severely injured by Zaraki's sword, which solidified Zaraki's reputation.

Since all the captains of the Gotei 13 are powerful individuals who have completed Bankai training, everyone considers having Bankai to be equivalent to having captain-level strength.

Well, of course, that statement isn't entirely wrong.

If a Zanpakuto is powerful, then possessing Bankai is also considered powerful.

However, if the Zanpakuto's power is average, then a captain who achieves this through Bankai can only be considered the lowest-ranking "captain".

Unfortunately, Oni-Ganjo's Bankai is not a powerful one.

His Bankai is called War Dragon. After Bankai, his Zanpakuto transforms into a giant hammer, which greatly enhances Onigeki's power and possesses immense destructive force.

However, even if Onigenjo uses his Bankai, his spiritual pressure is still some distance from that of Zaraki.

If it were the old Zaraki, he might have suppressed his spiritual pressure to enjoy the thrill of battle and had a proper fight with Oni Genjo.

But now, Zaraki doesn't even have time to increase his spiritual pressure, let alone suppress it, in order to become stronger, fight Erin, and defeat the woman who defeated him hundreds of years ago.

The Shinigami of the Eleventh Division were extremely excited to see that even Onigenjou in his Bankai form was no match for Zaraki.

The Eleventh Division is the strongest division among the Gotei 13.

Look, besides the Eleventh Division, which other division has three captain-level powerhouses?

Because of Zaraki's immense strength, they subconsciously omitted the word "vice" when addressing him.

After all, in their view, Zaraki truly possessed the strength of a captain.

Of course, this is also because the true captain of the Eleventh Division, Kenpachi Erin, has not appeared in the Eleventh Division for many years.

Even the new members who joined the Eleventh Division in recent years have always believed that Zaraki is the captain of the Eleventh Division.

……

"What does 'the fifth seat of the Ichimaru' mean?"

Standing in front of Aizen, Gin Ichimaru narrowed his eyes and smirked: "Of course, I, the fifth seat of the 11th Division, want to become the fifth seat of the 5th Division."

After years of training, Gin Ichimaru felt that he was strong enough to approach Aizen.

If possible, Gin Ichimaru would like to be like Captain Erin, finding someone to do things for him, so he can openly and honestly spend time with the person he loves.

But that won't work...

Rangiku has come to Seireitei in search of me.

Just this year, it was Gin Ichimaru who secretly escorted her from the Shimo Ward all the way to the White Path Gate, and witnessed Rangiku pass the test of the Shinigami Academy and become a student of the Shinigami Academy.

Gin Ichimaru must infiltrate Aizen's inner circle and retrieve what Aizen took from Rangiku before Aizen discovers Rangiku's true identity.

So, during this time, Gin Ichimaru secretly followed the Shinigami who had joined Aizen's forces, trying to find out what they were planning to do.

Only by knowing their purpose could Gin Ichimaru have a sufficient reason to approach Aizen.

"Oh?"

Aizen Sousuke stretched out his right hand and adjusted his glasses.

"Why? I remember that Fifth Seat Ichimaru was Captain Erin's disciple. What made him leave the Eleventh Division and join the Fifth Division?"

"Of course I want to have greater strength."
