One Piece: Kaido's adopted son, starts with the Eight Gates Formation.

"Found it..." Kenpachi Zaraki let out a beast-like growl, and his spiritual pressure surged uncontrollably, turning into a golden wave that shot into the sky!

"That old man... is the strongest here!!"

He could feel the unfathomable power within the white-bearded man, a power so deep it was like a vast ocean, a terrifying pressure that could make even the soul tremble. This made his blood boil, every cell screaming, yearning for a fierce and exhilarating battle!

"Hey! Whitebeard! That scarred guy with the knife is charging at you!" Bigom shouted a warning.

Whitebeard slowly opened his eyes, looking down at the figure rushing towards him like a madman, a gentle smile appearing on his face: "Gurarararar... Another one eager to die? What a lively party."

Kenpachi Zaraki didn't use Shunpo; he simply ran in the most primal way, each step leaving spiderweb-like cracks in the ground. He transformed into an unstoppable golden cannonball, soaring straight into the sky!

"Come on, old man! Let me see what you're made of!!"

A violent laugh echoed throughout the entire Seireitei.

"Well done!"

Faced with Kenpachi Zaraki, who was aggressive and like a beast unleashed from its cage, Whitebeard did not retreat but instead took a step forward.

boom!

The entire God-Slaying Island trembled violently!

He didn't activate the Kaioken technique, nor did he use the Eight Gates. He simply swung the huge naginata forward. The movement seemed slow, but it carried an aura that sealed off the heavens and earth and was unmatched.

"Gurarararar... Kid, fighting isn't just about yelling!"

A visible white halo suddenly lit up on the blade of the naginata, a manifestation of the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit being compressed to its limit.

Kenpachi Zaraki completely ignored the oppressive aura that was enough to terrify even ordinary captain-level Shinigami. He leaped high into the air, gripped his weathered and nicked Zanpakuto with both hands, and slashed it down at Whitebeard's head with the force of splitting a mountain!

"Drink it all!"

He has no moves, no techniques, only the purest slashes that unleash his spiritual pressure and power to the extreme!

On one side is the world's strongest man, possessing power sufficient to destroy the world.

On the other side is Shura, the strongest swordsman in Soul Society, born for battle.

Two completely different forces collided violently in mid-air!

However, the expected earth-shattering explosion did not occur.

The moment Kenpachi Zaraki's Zanpakuto came into contact with the white aura on Whitebeard's naginata, his terrifying sword pressure, capable of splitting mountains, vanished without a trace, as if swallowed by a mud ox entering the sea.

No, it's not devouring!

Kenpachi Zaraki's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of pinpoints. He clearly saw that the pressure of his sword, along with the space in front of the blade, had vanished as if erased by an invisible eraser!

"What...what the hell is this?!"

Kenpachi Zaraki's mind went blank; this bizarre phenomenon was completely beyond his understanding of combat.

"You're too naive, kid."

The white-bearded man's voice rang in his ears. The next second, an irresistible force surged from the blade.

Click!

Kenpachi Zaraki's Zanpakuto let out a mournful cry, its blade instantly covered in spiderweb-like cracks. He was struck as if by a high-speed train, spitting out a mouthful of blood as his body flew uncontrollably backward, crashing heavily into the Seireitei complex below, kicking up a cloud of dust.

One strike!

With just one strike, the arrogant Kenpachi was defeated!

"Kenpachi... Captain Kenpachi!"

The members of the Eleventh Division gasped in disbelief. In their hearts, their invincible captain had been sent flying in a single blow?

"What kind of ability is that?" Fourth Division Captain Retsu Unohana stared at the massive, unmoving figure in the sky. For the first time, the gentle smile on her face vanished, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity. "It's not simple destruction, but rather the destruction of 'existence' itself..."

Before she could finish speaking, a similarly shocking scene unfolded on another battlefield.

"A massive fireball!"

Akainu Sakazuki's entire body transformed into pitch-black magma, and with a strike fused with Amaterasu's black flames, [Metsuki: Black Rope Heavenly Punishment], he lunged at the 10th Division Captain, Toshiro Hitsugaya, like a black dragon ready to devour its prey.

"Don't even think about it! Sit atop the Frosty Heavens, Hyōrinmaru!"

Hitsugaya Toshiro dared not be careless, instantly unleashing his Zanpakuto and summoning a giant ice dragon to meet the ominous black magma.

The collision of ice and fire should have resulted in a cloud of steam.

However, the moment Hyōrinmaru touched the black magma, Hitsugaya Tōshirō's face turned deathly pale.

"Ahhhhh!"

He let out a painful scream. His prized ice dragon, instead of being hindered by the black flames, melted away like a candle. The black flames even spread from the ice dragon's body all the way to his sword!

"My Hyōrinmaru... is being burned?!" Hitsugaya Toshirō was horrified to discover that the black flames were like maggots clinging to his bones, impossible to extinguish, and were constantly eroding the body of his Zanpakutō!

"Absolute justice will not tolerate any obstacles!" Akainu's cold and ruthless voice rang out, and another black magma fist slammed down.

Amidst the ruins of Seireitei, Kenpachi Zaraki, who had been defeated by Whitebeard in a single blow, slowly rose from the rubble. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face showing no sign of dejection, but rather a more excited and maniacal smile.

He ripped off the eyepatch over his right eye that was used to suppress spiritual pressure.

boom--!!!

A golden spiritual pressure, several times, even dozens of times stronger than before, erupted from his body like a volcanic eruption! The entire Seireitei trembled violently under this terrifying spiritual pressure!

"Hahaha... Hahahaha! Interesting! Very interesting!" Kenpachi Zaraki laughed wildly, his gaze once again fixed on the white-bearded figure in the sky.

"Old man! Warm-up is over!!"

"Oh? So you're finally going to show some real skills?"

The white-bearded man felt the sudden surge of spiritual pressure below him, and his smile widened. He could sense that the scarred brat's desire for battle was pure and unadulterated.

"Come on, let me see just how far your power can go!"

The white-bearded man slammed his naginata heavily into the air in front of him, creating a muffled thud that rippled across the space around him like water.

A ripple, an invisible barrier of vibration quietly formed.

Kenpachi Zaraki ripped off his eyepatch, unleashing his full power. He felt stronger than ever before, as if he could cleave the sky with a single sword strike. He transformed once more into a golden streak of light, rushing towards Whitebeard at several times the speed of before.

"drink!"

This time, his slash was accompanied by a shrill sound that tore through space, and the spiritual pressure gathered on the blade almost materialized!

However, when his blade touched that invisible, vibrating barrier again, that familiar yet eerie feeling of "erasure" returned.

"It's no use!" Kenpachi Zaraki roared. This time he was prepared. He poured all his spiritual pressure and all his will into this sword, trying to forcefully break through this unreasonable defense with the purest power!

"You've made some progress." A hint of approval flashed in the white-bearded man's eyes.

boom!

Under Kenpachi Zaraki's full-force attack, the tremor barrier made its first cracking sound, but ultimately managed to withstand the blow.

"Not enough! Not enough!" Kenpachi Zaraki, as if possessed, slashed wildly at the invisible wall with one sword after another, each strike using all his strength, each strike causing the entire Seireitei to tremble.

Whitebeard simply watched quietly. He saw a glimpse of his younger self in this brat, that purest dedication to battle.

"This kid has a strong will. If he were in our world, he would definitely be a top-tier Conqueror's Haki user," Whitebeard thought to himself.

Meanwhile, on another battlefield, the battle of speed has also reached a fever pitch.

"Shuangku!"

With a sharp cry, Soi Fon unleashed a torrent of compressed white wind-type spiritual pressure from her back and shoulders, pushing her speed and power to their limits. Her figure left trails of afterimages in the air as she unleashed a furious barrage of attacks around Kizaru.

"Stinger them all! Suzume-bi!"

The bee stinger on her right index finger always aimed at Kizaru's vitals at an incredibly tricky angle.

"Oh my, how scary, how scary." Kizaru still had that punchable look, his body constantly transforming into elements, turning into countless points of light, allowing Soi Fon's attacks to pass through his body.

"Why... can't I hit it?!"

Soi Fon became increasingly alarmed as she fought. She realized that no matter how fast or how tricky her attacks were, they were like hitting thin air, unable to cause any real damage to her opponent.

"Your ability is to turn your body into light?" Soi Fon stopped her attack, distanced herself from Kizaru, and asked with a serious expression.

"You got it right, but there's no reward." Kizaru picked his nose and said lazily, "In my opinion, your speed is too slow, like a slow-motion replay."

"Damn it!" Soi Fon was completely enraged by Kizaru's nonchalant attitude.

She knew that conventional attacks were ineffective against this enemy. Her signature move, the "Two-Hit Kill," became a joke when it couldn't hit its target.

"You forced me to do this!" Soi Fon took a deep breath, a resolute glint in her eyes. She slowly raised her right hand, and a massive and dangerous spiritual pressure began to gather on her arm.

"Since small-scale attacks are ineffective against you, then I'll use an unavoidable attack to blast you and this entire space into dust!"

The spiritual pressure wings behind her became even more solid, and her whole body was enveloped by a golden spiritual pressure that resembled a rocket launch.

Seeing this from a distance, Vice-Captain Ōmaeda Kichiyo turned pale with fright and shouted, "Captain! No! Using that in the Seireitei..."

Soi Fon ignored him and focused all her power on one point, aiming it at Kizaru in the distance.

"Swastika - Bird Bee Thunder Whip!"

Rumble—!!!

With a delicate shout from Soi Fon, the massive golden bee sting turret on her right arm erupted with a terrifying spiritual pressure that made all the captains take notice!

Above the sky, the wind and clouds changed color, and a huge dark cloud composed of pure spiritual pressure quickly formed, with lightning and thunder within it, as if the end of the world had arrived.

"This is... Soi Fon's Bankai?"

"What incredible spiritual pressure! She was actually forced to use Bankai?"

Byakuya Kuchiki, who was locked in combat with Big Mom, and Toshiro Hitsugaya, who was locked in a fierce battle with Akainu, both turned to look, their faces filled with shock. They knew that although Soi Fon's Bankai was huge and cumbersome, not in line with the stealthy and mobile assassination style, its power was still among the top in the entire Gotei 13!

"Oh my, are they going to set off fireworks? They look pretty spectacular." Kizaru remained as lazy as ever. He looked up at the huge cannon in the sky and even pushed up his sunglasses with interest.

"Go to hell! You glowing bug!"

Soi Fon's face was filled with anger and humiliation; she channeled all her fury into this one strike.

"A single, decisive blow!"

She roared and pressed the launch button.

call out--!!!

A golden missile, larger and more dazzling than any previous attack, trailing a long tail of flame, streaked through the sky at supersonic speed and hurtled toward Kizaru!

The spiritual pressure contained in that missile was enough to instantly level a small mountain! Its speed and range were so great that there was simply no possibility of dodging it!

"It's over!" Soi Fon looked at the golden light with certainty.

However, faced with this devastating attack, Kizaru made a move that made everyone's eyes pop out.

Instead of dodging, he extended a finger and gently tapped the rapidly approaching golden missile.

"The Kusanagi Sword".

A slender sword made of light shot from his fingertips and collided precisely with the huge golden missile.

boom--!!!!!!

An unprecedented and massive explosion detonated in the sky above Seireitei!

The golden light engulfed everything, and the terrifying shockwave, like a Category 12 typhoon, instantly blew countless buildings away. Even the captains in the distance were forced to retreat by the shockwave.

The sky seemed to have been blasted open with a huge hole, and the whole world trembled violently from the terrifying explosion.

"Did it work?" Soi Fon gasped for breath. Bankai had taken a huge toll on her, and this was the strongest attack she could muster.

The smoke and dust slowly dissipated.

The epicenter of the explosion was completely empty.

"Phew... I finally got it..." Soi Fon breathed a sigh of relief, her body swaying slightly from exhaustion.

"Hey, that last attack was pretty powerful."

A lazy voice suddenly rang out behind her.

Soi Fon's body stiffened abruptly, and she used all her strength to turn her head stiffly.

Kizaru was standing unharmed a short distance behind her, not a speck of dust on him. He even gave Soi Fon a lewd smile.
