"By the way, what are you planning to do, Captain of the 12th Division? Urahara Kisuke."

"As for him... I'll find him after I finish challenging the Second Division." Ryougi Shiki said, "I'm also very interested in his power, but as expected... I'll save that old man for last!"

......

"team leader..."

"Is it coming?" Retsu Unohana looked out the window at the scenery. It was raining, and fine raindrops were falling on the ground.

Ryougi Shiki is coming soon; it's time to challenge her.

They came all the way from the 13th Division, facing challenges along the way.

Just like her a thousand years ago.

He challenged all kinds of blades and styles of swords, and has come all the way to where he is now, establishing the prototype of the 11th Division of the Gotei 13, and calling himself 'Yachiru'... Yes, not Kenpachi Unohana, but Yachiru Unohana.

"It's so similar." Retsu Unohana seemed to see Ryougi Shiki challenging her: "That person and me when I was young..."

"Captain, Ryougi Kenpachi has come to challenge us—"

“Okay, I understand.” Retsu Unohana turned to her adjutant and said, “Then, let her come to Rukongai. Don’t send anyone else. This time, the two of us are enough for the battle.”

"But—Captain, that Kenpachi is the vicious thug who injured Captain Aizen, leaving you alone with her—"

Didn't you hear what I said clearly?

fear--

Facing his usually gentle captain, the adjutant felt fear for the first time!

Chapter 1040 The First Kenpachi and the Tenth Kenpachi

Soul Society, outside the Rukongai district.

Few people come here, but it's also a place where the Void often appears... The surrounding area is all barren wilderness, rubble, with the occasional tree and overgrown grass.

Two captains of the Gotei 13 arrived, dressed in haori (traditional Japanese jackets).

Fourth Division Captain – Retsu Unohana.

Captain of the Eleventh Division – Ryougi Shiki.

The spiritual pressure emanating from the two was enough to make anyone leave on their own. There was practically no living creature left in the vicinity...

Except for one—

Retsu Unohana glanced at the man standing on the cliff watching the battle, then turned to Ryougi Shiki standing opposite her: "Is this alright?"

"what?"

"Our battle isn't suitable for anyone to watch."

"Ah... it's alright with Kazumi, as long as he's not in the way."

"......Yeah."

hum-

The next moment, Unohana Retsu unleashed her spiritual pressure without restraint. She glanced at Ryougi Kazuya, who remained unchanged, paused slightly, and then focused her gaze on Ryougi Shiki: "Indeed, it seems he does possess such an ability. So, shall I suppress my spiritual pressure to the same level as yours and fight him?"

"Ha, that's unnecessary." Ryougi Shiki drew her Zanpakuto and said, "Just come at me—"

She and the other captains said the same thing, but... the result is obvious, isn't it?

This statement is completely useless!

“Is that so? Then I’ll go all out.” Retsu Unohana also drew her Zanpakuto. “If you think I need to suppress my spiritual pressure, then there’s no point in continuing this battle. Do you think I would hold back against Kenpachi?”

"No, this is good, in fact, this is the best!"

Ryougi Shiki threw away the captain's haori, and her emotions instantly soared.

That's right, this is real fighting!

This is exactly what she has been hoping for!

"The Captain-Commander is going to lecture me again..." Looking at the haori lying on the ground and the number 'eleven' on it, Retsu Unohana's eyes showed a hint of nostalgia, but it quickly disappeared.

The feeling has changed—

At this moment, standing in front of Ryougi Shiki is not the gentle Fourth Division Captain Retsu Unohana, but the founder of the Eleventh Division a thousand years ago, the great villain of Soul Society—Yachiru Unohana!

......

Buzz——————!

"What's wrong, Kenpachi?" Kusajishi Yachiru asked, looking at Kenpachi's profile as he suddenly stopped, perched on Kenpachi's back.

"It's her...that woman..." Kenpachi Zaraki grinned, revealing a demonic smile: "Hahaha—! That guy, it's that guy! Let's go, Yachiru. It's time for a battle!"

"Okay! I understand, Little Sword!" Kusashi Yachiru smiled, "Little Sword looks very happy now~"

"Yes, I'm so happy... so incredibly happy—"

As he spoke, he recklessly unleashed his spiritual pressure and rushed towards the direction from which he sensed the spiritual pressure.

......

Sizzle————

The collision between the blades created countless sparks.

The collision of spiritual pressures created a hurricane as sharp as a blade.

'So heavy—'

Ryougi Shiki's hands were trembling, shaking—

The strength of the sword in Unohana's hand exceeded her expectations. With just one clang, she felt as if she was about to be crushed.

*Pfft*

The clothes on her shoulder were torn, and Ryougi Shiki took a step back, but no blood flowed out.

The fight between the two then came to a halt.

Unohana Yachiru looked at her Zanpakuto and then at Ryougi Shiki's shoulder: "Is this your ability?"

"Ability?" Ryougi Shiki frowned and touched her left shoulder, where there should have been a wound from Unohana Yachiru's attack... Ryougi Shiki saw that sword strike, but she didn't dodge it.

To be precise, it's unavoidable.

My body didn't react in time!

At this point, although the clothes were torn, there were no wounds.

"This is... Kazuya—!" Ryougi Shiki turned around and looked at Ryougi Kazuya on the cliff next to her, saying, "You're the one who did this, aren't you? Take it back!"

"No, I understand everything... I know everything." Looking at Ryougi Shiki's face, Ryougi Kazuya sighed. His Zanpakuto had been in a released state, its power connected to Ryougi Shiki.

Just as Ryougi Shiki was struck, somewhere underground, a gash appeared on the shoulder of Ryougi Kazuya's body. It healed before any blood even flowed.

If he can maintain this form, he can be at ease even if Ryougi Shiki and Unohana Yachiru fight him.

but...

"Come back."

Wisps of air emanated from Ryougi Shiki's body, then merged into the Zanpakuto at Ryougi and Miya's waists: "Alright, my ability is now deactivated... But, Shiki..."

"Ah, it's alright." Ryougi Shiki smiled and turned around, her right hand's Zanpakuto slashing forcefully across her left shoulder without hesitation. Blood flowed from the wound, and seeing the decisive action and the significant amount of blood loss... Ryougi Kazuya's eyes twitched involuntarily.

"Then, let's continue."

Hearing Ryougi Shiki's words from the air, Unohana Yachiru smiled slightly: "I see... Is this the reason you became Kenpachi?"

"I'll say it again, I am Shiki—Ryougi Shiki, not Kenpachi, that name is awful!"

Chi-

As the sword flashed, Unohana Yachiru looked at Ryougi Shiki and said, "Indeed... the name Kenpachi is too early for you. Although you have the resolve, you do not possess the power."

"Well..."

Didn't you realize it just now?

Ryougi Shiki clutched her chest, blood seeping from her kimono. She wasn't completely caught off guard; if she hadn't retreated, this attack would have rendered her incapacitated...

Too fast—

Strength and speed are both superior to hers.

but...

“I’ve heard the Captain-Commander mention it.” Unohana Yachiru walked step by step toward Ryougi Shiki, her spiritual pressure growing stronger with each step. “Your sword is a Demon Sword, but it seems you haven’t really shown it properly yet. You’ve been using Shinigami swords before… Let me see your sword.”

"My sword... Alright, then, let me show you."

Ryougi Shiki suppressed the flow of blood from her wounds with her spiritual pressure and said, "Well then, watch closely—"

Chapter 1041 Ryougi Shiki: Bankai

Ryougi Shiki's swordsmanship is a combination of Ryougi Shiki's original swordsmanship, her own swordsmanship, Okita Souji's swordsmanship, and Sasaki Kojiro's swordsmanship...

These sword techniques, when combined, formed a unique style of swordsmanship.

The reason she's still separating it from Death's sword is because she hasn't fully mastered Death's sword yet.

The process of challenging the captain of the Gotei 13 was also a process of integrating his own swordsmanship.

Ryougi Shiki's explosive increase in spiritual pressure stopped about a month ago, but her swordsmanship has not stopped and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

And Unohana Yachiru's sword...

Before becoming a captain, he was a notorious villain in the history of Soul Society. After challenging various schools of martial arts and experiencing all kinds of blades, he proclaimed himself the 'Yachiru'.

You can understand it just by hearing the name, right?

Does this mean that you know thousands of different schools of thought?
