And if you can finish the battle quickly, you will win.

If it takes half a day to fight like Nnoitra... then it's over. If it goes on and Kenpachi unleashes even more of his power, it will be even worse.

Therefore... in the view of Ryougi and Mi.

He's currently fighting Kenpachi Zaraki, and the odds are even.

If Ryougi Shiki and Kenpachi Zaraki were to fight, the outcome would still be a 50/50 chance.

"I didn't enjoy our fight last time," Kenpachi Zaraki said, shaking his neck. "It ended before we were even satisfied... But this time I'm not here to see you. Where's Kenpachi? Where's the current Kenpachi—"

Kenpachi Zaraki shouted, "That title should be given to me!! I am—Kenpachi!!"

Buzz—!

next moment.

Kenpachi Zaraki unleashed his spiritual pressure without restraint.

One by one, the Grim Reapers around them fell to the ground.

Only Ryougi and Mi were able to maintain their composure; the other Shinigami were rendered unable to move under such spiritual pressure.

"It's so noisy!"

Ryougi Shiki emerged from the barracks as if she hadn't sensed the spiritual pressure at all: "What are you all doing, chattering away?"

"You're awake, Shiki." Ryougi Kazuya smiled. "It's nothing serious, just that someone has come to challenge me."

“Ah, is that so... I see.” Ryougi Shiki said, looking at Kenpachi Zaraki: “Hmm... It’s you. Good, that just so happens that I feel my senses aren’t sharp enough.”

Ryougi Shiki laughed as she spoke: "It would be perfect to fight someone like you, then I can challenge Grandpa Yamamoto."

"It's like you're saying I'm just an appetizer..."

Kenpachi Zaraki grinned widely: "Yachiru—where is Yachiru!"

"Yes, yes, I'm here, Little Sword!" Kusanagi Yachiru waved as she climbed over the wall.

Looking at the two of them, Ryougi and Mi suddenly realized something in surprise: "Huh? You two didn't get lost?"

"..." Kenpachi Zaraki fell silent for a moment.

Can he say that he had wanted to come to Seireitei for a long time but got lost for several years and only arrived yesterday?

That's right...

He arrived at Seireitei yesterday, and then spent more than a day finding the Eleventh Division's barracks...

I asked countless people for directions during this time and encountered several squad captains...

"Of course, if it were Koken, he would definitely get lost, but I was the one who gave him directions." Kusajika Yachiru pointed to herself and said with a smile, "So we made it in time~"

“…So long-winded.” Kenpachi Zaraki shouted, then looked at Ryougi Shiki: “Alright, your tenth generation Kenpachi has come to an end. The next Kenpachi is me, the eleventh generation Kenpachi—Kenpachi Zaraki!”

"Ha, that kind of thing doesn't matter." Ryougi Shiki said with a laugh, "I don't care about the name Kenpachi at all, or rather, it sounds awful. Remember this, I am Ryougi Shiki. You can take Kenpachi or whatever you want, it doesn't matter—but..."

"If you want to fight, I'll go with you."

Kenpachi Zaraki paused for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Haha ...

As Kenpachi Zaraki spoke, he drew his Zanpakuto, and his spiritual pressure surged wildly without restraint.

"Wait, let's find another place to fight," Ryougi Kazuya stopped Kenpachi Zaraki, saying, "Fighting recklessly here will only result in the destruction of the Eleventh Division's barracks!"

"Sigh...you didn't stop me this time?"

This time, Ryougi Shiki was surprised.

"Do you think I can stop them if I try?"

"Haha, not bad..." Ryougi Shiki laughed: "I'm really happy today, in every sense of the word."

"Oh, is a fight about to break out? Looks like we're not too late..." Kyoraku Shunsui and the others appeared in front of the Eleventh Division barracks and waved to Ryougi Kazuya and the others: "Yo, we've come to watch the fight."

"What? Aren't you the one who gave directions?" Kenjiro Zaraki said, glancing at her.

"Haha, that's right, it's me." Kyoraku Shunsui smiled and said, "Well, it hasn't started yet... If it's a change within the Eleventh Division... even Yama-no-Tomo can't interfere."

"So you guys came..." Ryougi Kazumi sighed and looked around.

Captain Yoruichi Shihōin of the 2nd Division, Captain Shinji Hirako of the 5th Division, Captain Shunsui Kyōraku of the 8th Division, Captain Jushirō Ukitake of the 13th Division...

Four captains arrived at once, and there was also... the acting captain of the Sixth Division—Byakuya Kuchiki.

Originally, Kuchiki Ginrin was still in good health during this period and remained the captain of the 6th Division until Hirako Shinji and the others left Soul Society. It seems that she suffered some kind of injury in the previous battle and is still lying in the 6th Division barracks.

And the spiritual pressure is decreasing day by day...

I guess he won't live much longer...

Chapter 1059 The Name of Kenpachi

Eleventh Division training ground.

Ryougi Shiki and Kenpachi Zaraki stood opposite each other.

On both sides were captains and vice-captains who had come to watch the game.

"Kazumi."

"I understand." Ryougi Kazuya nodded, his Zanpakuto emitting a faint glow. At the same time, something detached from Ryougi Shiki and returned to his Zanpakuto...

"That's interesting. Is your Zanpakuto always being unleashed?" Yoruichi Shihouin asked Ryougi Kazuya in surprise. "Is there any drain on your spiritual pressure?"

"Who knows... but it's true that it's been liberated all along."

Ryougi Kazuya smiled and looked at Kuchiki Byakuya standing to the side, asking, "How is Captain Kuchiki doing?"

"Not so good..." Kuchiki Byakuya, who wasn't as cold as he was after becoming captain, and could even be described as quite lively, hasn't been in good shape lately and seems to have not had a proper rest in a long time: "If this demon cat hadn't insisted on dragging me here, I wouldn't have wanted to move at all."

"Alright, alright." Yoruichi Shihouin chuckled. "This is a rare sight indeed, a change of captain for the Eleventh Division... I just wonder who will win..."

"I don't think that guy named Zaraki will win," Kuchiki Byakuya said, arms crossed. "So why do you think that guy from Rukongai will win?"

"But isn't Ryougi Shiki also from Rukongai?"

“It’s Kenpachi Ryougi,” Byakuya Kuchiki corrected. “And she’s already proven her abilities with her actions, through countless battles against the captains of the 13th Division… If it weren’t for Kenpachi Zaraki, she seems to be preparing to challenge the Captain-Commander recently…”

"Oh, so who do you think will win, her or the captain?"

"Need I say more? It's definitely the Captain-Commander!" Byakuya Kuchiki said with dissatisfaction, "Are you out of your mind? Asking such an obvious question... That's not the point. The point is... Among the Gotei 13, who else besides her dares to challenge the Captain-Commander?"

"Haha, Byakuya-kun is right." Kyoraku Shunsui chuckled. "At least I wouldn't dare to provoke that old man from the mountains... But... let's be quiet, it's about to begin."

"Um, what do you want—"

Buzz—!

Byakuya was slightly taken aback, then quickly turned his head to look at the two people in the center of the battlefield.

That is...

Able to see...

The materialized spiritual pressure seemed to be crushing the atmosphere...

He wasn't surprised that Ryougi Shiki had this level of spiritual pressure, after all, countless battles had proven it, but... what he didn't expect was that Zaraki also had this level of spiritual pressure.

"How about it, Byakuya-sama?" Yoruichi Shihouin teased, putting her arm around Byakuya Kuchiki's shoulder. "The atmosphere is nice, isn't it?"

"Humph."

Kuchiki Byakuya remained silent, his gaze subtly fixed on the two figures on the battlefield...

The spiritual pressure is still increasing... as if there's no limit!

"Aren't you going to... Oh right, Shikai." Kenpachi Zaraki said, watching Ryougi Shiki recklessly unleash her spiritual pressure, "You'd better use your Bankai from the start, or you won't have the chance later."

"Shikai, huh..." Ryougi Shiki chuckled. "My Shikai ability is to make those weird, random abilities ineffective against me, like Kido... It's useless against someone like you!"

"Hahaha—! Well then, let's go!"

The two stopped their spiritual pressure stroll, and Kenpachi Zaraki, laughing loudly, charged towards Ryougi Shiki.

boom----

Blades clashed, a violent blast of air spread outwards, and Kenpachi Zaraki could be seen retreating.

'As expected... this form is stronger at this time.'

Ryougi Kazuya remained silent, watching the battle quietly. Kenpachi Zaraki's current strength was exactly the same as when they last met, without any change.

In other words...

At that time, Ryougi and Ya were the strongest opponents Kenpachi Zaraki had ever encountered, so there was no need for him to release more of his seals.

but--

The current Ryougi Shiki is even stronger.

Or rather, in terms of spiritual pressure, in terms of death.

Ryougi Shiki has always been ahead of Ryougi and Mi.

She just didn't study the ways of the demons or anything like that; of course, there was no need for it.

"Haha, not bad!"

Kenpachi Zaraki retreated while charging forward once more, his sword flashing mercilessly: "That's right! That's it! Slash! Slash! Fight!"

The gap is narrowing.

As their swords clashed, Kenpachi Zaraki initially retreated several steps, then only one, and now—he doesn't retreat a single step!

He cooperated with Ryougi Shiki, gradually and unconsciously releasing his own seal.

Then--

Finally, when she was evenly matched with Ryougi Shiki, her progress came to an end.

That's right...

Now the two of them are on the same level.
