Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

"Captain, please! Come and experience the skills of my three apprentices!"

Just as the captain of the 13th Division was lost in his wild thoughts, Araki's voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"I understand……"

Knowing he couldn't escape, the captain of the 13th Division was quite pleased and drew his Zanpakuto from his waist, intending to fight Kyoraku and the others.

"Then I'll go first..."

Kyoraku chose to be the first to fight.

“Are you here?!”

The captain of the '13th Division' looked tense as he saw Kyoraku, the first to step forward and fight him.

"Don't worry, it won't take up too much of your time..."

Kyoraku smiled gently as he looked at his captain, who appeared tense.

"Um?!"

Araki narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing Kyoraku's words; this line was not something an ordinary person could handle.

To be honest, if the captain of the '13th Division' wasn't so weak, Araki would have been worried that Kyoraku would mess things up. After all, a certain unnamed man from later generations had already fully demonstrated just how serious the consequences of saying those words could be...

"Araki-sensei, could you please separate the area where my battle with this gentleman is taking place from the rest of Seireitei?! After all, you know that my Zanpakuto has rather peculiar properties, and if things go wrong, it could potentially cause accidental injury to others nearby..."

Before engaging in battle with the captain of the '13th Division', Kyoraku Shunsui specifically consulted Araki.

"Fight with peace of mind."

Araki simply nodded slightly at Kyoraku.

"That puts my mind at ease..."

Upon hearing this, Kyoraku breathed a sigh of relief.

"Um, this unknown captain, because my Zanpakuto's 'Bankai' is a bit strange, I can't distinguish between friend and foe, so I have to ask my teacher to completely separate you and me from the others..."

Kyoraku looked at the captain of the 13th Division in front of him and explained.

"Bankai? I didn't expect you to have mastered the highest 'secret technique' of a Zanpakuto at such a young age! As expected of Araki Kenpachi's disciple, I truly admire you. However, as the captain of the 13th Division, I naturally have to prove myself with my strength and show that I am not some weakling who can be bullied by others!"

After hearing Kyoraku's words, the captain of the 13th Division first praised Kyoraku, then his eyes gradually became serious. In the captain's opinion, even if his strength was different from Kyoraku and the others, it shouldn't be too much. At least they should be able to fight for several hundred rounds before a winner was decided.

"Bankai! Tenkyokotsu: Kuromin no Shinju..."

Upon hearing the words of the 13th Division captain, Kyoraku's lips curled into a slight smile as he immediately unleashed his Bankai. He thrust the Zanpakuto into the air, and the next instant, jet-black pine tree patterns burst forth before everyone's eyes…

"He used Bankai right off the bat?!"

The captain of the 13th Division was completely stunned by Kyoraku's immediate use of Bankai. In his eyes, Bankai should be every captain's ultimate move...

After all, 'Bankai' consumes a lot of spiritual pressure. If the opponent cannot be defeated within the time limit of 'Bankai', then what awaits this captain-level Shinigami is an absolutely tragic ending.

Unfortunately, what this '13th Division' captain didn't know was that for Kyoraku and the others, these Shinigami whose spiritual power had reached 'second rank' were simply using 'Bankai' for extended periods of time as a basic skill.

"I already said I'll finish this quickly!"

"Then please enjoy the third stage of my 'Bankai': Broken Fish Abyss!"

After confirming that his spiritual pressure was above that of the 13th Division Captain in front of him, Kyoraku did not hold back and began to clash with him in terms of spiritual pressure. Anyone whose spiritual pressure was weaker than his had absolutely no chance of escaping his 'Fish-Breaking Abyss'!

"Gululu..."

The captain of the 13th Division wanted to say something, but before he could speak, he felt as if he had fallen into the ocean, unable to muster any strength. His spiritual pressure was being rapidly depleted in this state, at a rate that exceeded his expectations. In the blink of an eye, his spiritual pressure had dropped to the point where he could no longer activate his Bankai.

"how come?!"

The captain of the 13th Division struggled incessantly, his face contorted in agony. He wildly swung his sword in the water, but the more he moved, the faster his spiritual pressure was depleted. Staying still was actually the best option.

"Ha ha……"

Kyoraku made no attempt to warn the captain, letting him struggle in the water and waste his energy and spiritual pressure.

"Guluuluulu..."

It wasn't until the captain of the 13th Division was completely exhausted of his physical strength and spiritual pressure, and stopped struggling and resisting, allowing seawater to rush into his mouth and nasal cavity, that Kyoraku and the captain finally arrived at the bottom of the sea.

"The final chapter - Blood stains the throat with the cleaver's edge!"

Just as the captain of the 13th Division and Kyoraku reached the bottom of the sea, the ocean surrounding them suddenly vanished, leaving the world in a vast expanse of desolation. Kyoraku then brandished his Zanpakuto and launched his final attack.

"Shh!"

The blade flashed out in an instant, filling the eyes of the captain who was fighting Kyoraku. The captain felt a chill on his neck, and the next second he felt his head flying into the sky. In an instant, the captain's eyes began to glaze over.

"Ah, I'm going to die like this?!"

The captain muttered to himself.

Immediately afterwards, he was enveloped in complete darkness.

"call……"

When the captain suddenly woke up, he immediately touched his neck.

"Great, great! My head is still on my body! So, I'm not dead yet?!"

After successfully touching his head from his neck, the captain of the 13th Division revealed a genuine smile.

"Of course he's not dead, I didn't actually cut him down..."

Kyoraku looked at the captain who had been terrified by his final blow and said helplessly.

"It didn't actually cut down?!"

"Could it be that the killing intent of that final strike was so powerful that it gave me the illusion that my head was being chopped off?! And I actually fainted from that illusion? This is just too embarrassing to talk about..."

At this moment, the captain finally realized what had just happened.

He actually fainted from the terrifying killing intent released by Kyoraku's final strike?!

At this moment, the captain's face began to turn increasingly ashen. Perhaps, just as Araki had told him, his strength was truly too weak, and he was not suitable to be the captain of the 'Gotei 13'.

"Alright, shouldn't it be my turn next?!"

Just as the captain's face turned pale and purple, Tsunayoshi Tokinada, carrying his Zanpakuto, walked towards the poor captain of the 13th Division.

"Master, don't forget to keep the battlefield clear for me, so my Zanpakuto doesn't hurt others..."

Before engaging in battle with the captain of the 'Thirteenth Division', Tokina made sure to have Araki shield him from the battlefield.

"Simple~"

Upon hearing this, Araki simply waved to Shitan. For Araki, this was nothing more than an easy task, and also another use of Araki's 'sacred script' by force.

Araki casually drew a circle in the sky with his Zanpakuto, radiating a lustrous, azure light. As long as the battle between Tokina and the captain of the 13th Division took place within the circle, it would not affect those outside.

"Then let our battle begin!"

Shi Tan smiled as he looked at the captain of the 'Thirteenth Division' in front of him.

"Uh, it's starting already? Can't I rest for a bit?"

Upon hearing this, the captain of the 13th Division visibly twitched his eyelids.

Bankai! Catching Shadows and Wind Burial: Cage of the Dead!

Before the captain of the 13th Division could say anything, Tokina directly activated his Bankai.

"Again?!"

The poor captain of the 13th Division must be having a really tough time. He'd just been beaten by Kyoraku's Bankai, and now he was going to be tortured by Tokinada's Bankai?!

"Everything you have will end here! First Death - Wind Burial!"

Tokina ignored the 13th Division captain in front of him, and instead used the shadows on the ground to create a huge cage, and directly activated his Bankai ability.

An endless gale suddenly swept in from all directions from the captain of the 13th Division. The wind seemed to come from the Yomotsu Hirasaka, constantly harassing the soul of the captain before him.

"I……"

For a moment, the captain of the 13th Division showed a frustrated expression. They didn't even let him finish speaking before starting the fight?! This was incredibly disrespectful! He was, after all, the captain of the 13th Division of the Gotei 13!

Chapter 114 Araki's Claws Finally Reached the 'Gotei 10'

After the endless raging winds...

It seems that the captain of the 13th Gotei 13 has lived out his entire life!

Suddenly, he seemed to see a revolving lantern of his own life; he saw himself dying on the battlefield and witnessed his own funeral...

At the funeral, some chuckled, some reminisced, some grieved; there were countless eyes, countless mouths, and countless faces of all shapes and sizes...

But he could only lie there quietly, letting the flames burn his body, letting the last trace of his existence in this world disappear completely.

In the end, even his shadow faded away, and with the passage of time, he died completely in everyone's hearts and disappeared from everyone's memories.

For a moment, the captain of the 13th Gotei 13 suddenly felt that his life was not worth living, but then he thought that it would be better if he just disappeared like this.

"it's over!"

At the same time, Shi Tan looked at the captain of the 13th Division, who was lying on the ground with lifeless eyes, and silently put away his Zanpakuto. At this moment, the outcome was already decided!

"Crack~"

As Tokina sheathed his Zanpakuto, Araki glanced at the captain of the 13th Division, who was still lying on the ground, showing no signs of recovery, and gently snapped his fingers.

"Uh~"

As Araki snapped his fingers, the captain snapped back to reality. He realized he hadn't died on the battlefield; he was still fighting. He had simply been caught off guard by the enemy's Bankai.

"What am I doing?!"

Upon waking up, the captain of the 13th Division paused for a moment before looking at Araki, Tokina, Kyoraku, and the others before him, and then asked in confusion.

"You got up, got instantly killed, what's there to say?!"

Araki looked at the bewildered captain in front of him and spoke calmly.

"Huh? Got killed instantly..."

Upon hearing this, the captain's expression changed slightly.

At the same time, he had originally planned to completely forget it, and even if he couldn't forget it, he was prepared to bury this 'humiliating' memory forever deep in his heart...
