Crossover Anime: Starting from Soul Society and Slicing Through All Worlds

Chapter 6: The First Kenpachi and the Strongest Kenpachi Start Fighting Over Each Other?

"Captain Zaraki is the captain of the 11th Division, while Minami Yoru is just a student who just graduated from the Shinigami Academy. Given the difference in your status, it would be against the rules for you to fight, right?"

If it's training within a squad, with the captain instructing members of their own squad, then it's normal troop training. But I remember Minami Yoru wasn't a member of Captain Zaraki's squad, was he?

Upon seeing Unohana Retsu smiling like a Yamato Nadeshiko, Kenpachi Zaraki revealed an expression of genuine disgust.

It's not that Kenpachi Zaraki dislikes Retsu Unohana as a person, but rather that he dislikes the current Retsu Unohana.

Many people in the Seireitei may not know that Kenpachi Zaraki and Retsu Unohana are old acquaintances.

Kenpachi Zaraki was born in the Zaraki Ward, the most dangerous and unsavory area of ​​Rukongai in the north. He was originally a nameless commoner, but later adopted "Zaraki" as his surname.

When Retsu Unohana, the former captain of the 11th Division, arrived at the outskirts of Rukongai with her subordinates in search of a powerful warrior she desired, the sight that greeted her was a mountain of corpses of Rukongai civilians who had died at the hands of Kenpachi.

Unohana Retsu was about to step forward for a closer look when Kenpachi Zaraki suddenly appeared and stabbed her below the collarbone with a knife. The two then engaged in a fierce battle on the spot. In the end, Kenpachi Zaraki was slashed on the left cheek by his opponent. This is the origin of Unohana Retsu's collarbone scar and Kenpachi Zaraki's left cheek scar.

In that battle, Kenpachi Zaraki experienced the fear and joy of combat for the first time, fearing that losing such an "enemy" would mean losing the pleasure of fighting.

Therefore, in order to match Unohana Retsu's strength, he subconsciously weakened himself to the same level as the "enemy".

The final outcome of that battle is unknown, but judging from the result, Retsu Unohana should be considered to have lost, because Kenpachi Zaraki was suppressing his power throughout the fight.

Of course, at that time, Retsu Unohana did not unleash her Zanpakuto, but fought Kenpachi Zaraki in an Asahi stance.

Even so, Retsu Unohana at that time was known as the strongest "First Kenpachi", a woman whose swordsmanship was known as "Yachiru". Yet in the end, she had to suppress her strength by a boy in order to barely achieve an even match!

After that, Retsu Unohana, who returned from Rukongai, voluntarily resigned from her position as captain of the 11th Division, believing that she was not worthy of the title of "Kenpachi," the strongest swordsman. Her personality changed drastically, and she became the captain of the 4th Division, a position she holds to this day.

Kenpachi Zaraki doesn't dislike Retsu Unohana; in fact, he admires her quite a bit. In fact, the reason he became a Shinigami and came to the Seireitei was largely due to the influence of Retsu Unohana.

Kenpachi Zaraki dislikes Retsu Unohana now because he knows that Unohana has been pretending all along. They are both people with a mad beast living inside them, just like him, but Retsu Unohana has locked the beast in a cage and faces the world with a "hypocritical" face.

"Tsk, this is really troublesome. You, Nan Yecheng, haven't officially joined the Fourth Division yet, have you? Why don't you just come to our Eleventh Division?"

I heard from Ikkaku that you're also from North Rukongai, and that you're quite strong.

You have two choices now. The first is to join the Eleventh Division and fight me legitimately. That way, we can both save a lot of trouble, and I'm too lazy to listen to the old man's nagging anymore.

There's another option: even if you join the Fourth Division, I'll still fight you. As long as you're alive, the worst that can happen is you get punished by the old man; I don't care.

Upon hearing Kenpachi Zaraki's words, which were practically a threat, Yoru's expression froze on his face, and he glanced at the bald man opposite him out of the corner of his eye.

Meanwhile, one of the bald members of the opposing team, probably feeling guilty, didn't dare look Yoru in the eye and instead lowered his head, responding to Yoru with his gleaming bald head. "Captain Zaraki, this Shinigami named Minami Yoru has decided to join our Fourth Division, and your current actions have clearly crossed the line."

Can I consider your current behavior as your Eleventh Division provoking our Fourth Division?

Sister Hua appears gentle and elegant, but she has never been a good-tempered person. With a wild beast living inside her, it's common for her to turn evil from time to time.

She tried to reason with him, but he ignored her. Now he's even threatening her reserve team members right in front of her. If Unohana Retsu continues to do nothing, then she won't be the strongest Kenpachi she once was.

"Interesting. Wouldn't it be even more exciting if you were willing to be my opponent in battle?"

"This powerful spiritual pressure... it's been so long! I didn't come to Seireitei to become a Shinigami, but it seems I'll be able to achieve that now!"

"Ding-a-ling—ding-a-ling—ding-a-ling!"

As the spiritual pressure emanating from Retsu Unohana's body increased, the bell tied to Kenpachi Zaraki's hair began to jingle.

Because of his special physical condition, Kenpachi Zaraki's spiritual pressure is incredibly strong, but he doesn't have the ability to sense it. That's why he styles his hair into spiky tufts and ties bells to the ends.

The purpose of doing this is to judge the opponent's spiritual pressure intensity by the swinging amplitude of the bell, and to determine how much power one should use to fight the opponent effectively.

Seeing the bells on the tips of his hair swaying wildly as if in a gale, Kenpachi Zaraki revealed an extremely excited and battle-ready expression.

Clearly, the spiritual pressure that Retsu Unohana was currently unleashing satisfied him immensely, even giving him a long-lost feeling of exhilaration!

Without the slightest hesitation, Kenpachi Zaraki reached out and ripped off the eyepatch covering his right eye that was used to seal his spiritual pressure.

As soon as the blindfold sealing his spiritual pressure was removed, Kenpachi Zaraki's spiritual pressure erupted like a tidal wave. The powerful spiritual pressure, almost tangible, transformed into a golden pillar that shot into the sky from the Fourth Division's recruitment area!

Retsu Unohana originally didn't want to clash with Kenpachi Zaraki and the others, but the powerful spiritual pressure unleashed by Kenpachi Zaraki at this moment ignited her fighting spirit, which had been dormant for many years. So when she realized it, she was shocked to find that a pillar of spiritual pressure corresponding to her own was also erupting.

The two powerful spiritual pressures of the captains collided with each other, and the enormous spiritual pressure was like a wave. At this moment, Yoru and the others were like a few small boats in the wave that could be capsized at any time.

Amidst the collision of these two extremely powerful spiritual pressures, Yoru and Yachiru were in relatively good condition. Although they were also affected, since the pressures were not directed at them and their own spiritual pressures were not weak, they were able to remain calm.

Ikkaku and Yumichika's spiritual pressure was not weak, but as newbies who had just graduated from the Shinigami Academy, they had never seen such a high-level situation before. So at this moment, the two of them were bent over by the pressure, their faces flushed, and they were trying desperately to straighten up.

As for Kotetsu Isane... the young lady had already given up all resistance and was lying on the ground.
