"It's over...you mean I'm...over??? What a joke—!!!" Yammy sat up abruptly. "Although...Lord Aizen said I should conserve my strength for the final battle, I can't take it anymore!!!"

Yammy's power is anger, and the angrier he is, the more powerful he becomes.

However, this strength also requires accumulation. Normally, one accumulates power through eating and sleeping, and then unleashes all the power accumulated during the great battle.

In other words, if the power were unleashed now...

boom----!

Just then, the golden barrier completely enveloped Yammy.

"What—!?" Yammy was slightly taken aback and shouted, "Hey, what's going on?!"

"Alright, alright, go back and rest. We'll need you later, so we can't let you go now."

Mashu's pupils contracted slightly; she... heard a very familiar voice.

"Yo, long time no see, everyone." Gin Ichimaru waved his hand and said, "Well, Captain Aizen asked me to come and help."

"Captain Ichimaru..." Madarame Ikkaku and the other two stared wide-eyed.

"Oh, it's the Eleventh Division... How scary, how scary. Let's play a little further away. It would be terrible if we called the Eleventh Division Captain over. I don't want to fight a monster like that."

"Damn it! Ichimaru! You just wait—!" Yammy was still roaring and howling, but he had already been brought back to Hueco Mundo by the anti-membrane that descended from the sky.

"Well... it's been a long time. I remember your name is Mashu, right... Mashu something?"

“Mash Kyrielight,” Mash said, taking a deep breath. “I didn’t expect to meet her at this time.”

“Really, me too.” Gin Ichimaru said with a smile, “Bankai.”

"God-Slaying Spear".

"Bankai..." Mash held her shield in front of her. "You should know that Bankai is useless against me."

“Is that so?” Gin Ichimaru looked at the short sword in his hand and said, “Actually, after I fought you last time, I thought about it carefully. It’s not that your ability counters my ability, but the other way around. I counter you.”

Chi-

Gin Ichimaru's sword rapidly grew stronger and pressed against Mash's shield, then Gin Ichimaru smiled.

"Hoo-hoo, just like doing it now."

Mashu's pupils contracted as she heard the voice behind her, but it was too late to turn her shield around!

At first, Gin Ichimaru pressed his spear against her shield; if she moved the shield away, he would die.

Then... Gin Ichimaru used his speed and the speed of his spear to quickly appear behind Mash—

"There are no shields here, are there?"

hiss--

The blade sliced ​​through the air and slashed towards Mash.

clang--

Indeed, this time no shield blocked him; this time, he was blocked by a Zanpakuto.

"Oh..."

Looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had blocked his Zanpakuto, Ichimaru Gin smiled: "You've grown."

Chapter 1102 Battle Five

“I remember you couldn’t even move under my spiritual pressure before.”

Gin Ichimaru looked at Ritsuka Fujimaru and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be able to block my sword now~"

Fujimaru Ritsuka's hands were trembling...

What do you mean by blocking his sword? This guy...

"senior--"

"Mash, I'm here to help."

Fujimaru Ritsuka took a deep breath and said.

Gin Ichimaru quickly took a few steps back, creating some distance...

Actually, if you think about it, he already won that last move...

There's no need to use any other moves; just keep using 'Divine Spear: Dance'. The blade extends and retracts at high speed while constantly changing position. In the instant that Mash has no time to defend, the Divine Spear has already pierced through her body.

If that strike hadn't been a full-blown slash, but instead had been delivered with the Divine Spear: Dance, Mash would have had another wound by now.

This was the solution I came up with after my move was blocked.

There's no need to break through her defenses, since her defensive range is limited anyway.

Even now, when you can skillfully wield a shield, you can only defend against attacks from the front, back, left, right, and above... Defending from below is not so simple...

By constantly moving, you can find a blind spot and break this move.

Of course, this cannot negate the power of that defensive move.

He couldn't think of a way to break through that defense yet, but it was said that Aizen had destroyed it once... which means that the defense also has a limit, right?

However... he didn't come to kill anyone this time; he wouldn't have bothered moving if it weren't for Aizen's orders...

Well, let's just kill time until the retreat order is given.

......

"What? There was no need to dodge at all?"

Nnoitra, who caught Hitsugaya's Ice Dragon Tail with one hand, licked his lips and said, "Besides being a bit cooler, you're completely useless! You idiot!"

boom--

Despite the icy pressure, Nnoitra walked forward, saying, "Is someone like you really the captain of the Gotei 13?"

"what--"

clang--

Seeing Hitsugaya Toshiro suddenly slash from behind, leaving no mark on his arm, Nnoitra narrowed his eyes and sent him flying with a single blow from his massive blade: "Weak! Too weak! Or is it that your so-called limit release hasn't even started yet? Is your spiritual pressure still being suppressed?"

"call..."

Toshiro Hitsugaya took a deep breath...

Very competitive.

He can't even penetrate that 'steel sheet' now...

Should I use Bankai...?

My Bankai is still one step away from completion, and using it in actual combat might have unexpectedly disastrous consequences, but—

It's also possible that external pressure will be used to achieve this in this battle...

Give it a try; it's impossible to succeed if you don't try...

"Solution—"

"Ha—" Nnoitra laughed. Even after Ulquiorra released his blade, he couldn't force out a Bankai, but Nnoitra used it so easily!

"Daiguren Hyōrinmaru!!"

Kaka-

"Hmm—?" Neutra's pupils contracted slightly.

"This is—!?" Countless blocks of ice rapidly spread across his entire body—

In an instant, a huge cross flower covered his entire body, hovering in the air and forming a desperate situation.

"Sorry, it seems I won't give you the chance to use your sword's release. This is the end."

After learning Bankai, he has been training diligently.

His then-captain, Shiba Isshin, had helped him, and Ryougi Kazuya, the vice-captain of the 11th Division, had also expressed interest and offered assistance...

Although I still haven't fully mastered it.

But it's almost there. The difference between his current Bankai and when he first learned it is like the difference between his Shikai and Bankai.

And... at most a few months... he was confident that he would completely master Hyōrinmaru, the strongest ice-attribute Zanpakutō in Soul Society, before the winter final battle!

"Is it all done?"

"it's over?"

"Is that all?!"

A tremendous roar erupted from within the ice cross, the intense spiritual pressure tearing the ice apart: "Pray—!"

"The Holy Crying Mantis!!"

"What—?" Toshiro Hitsugaya's pupils shrank, not expecting that even this move couldn't freeze him.

"Tch..." Nnoitra, whose arms had multiplied into six and whose blades had transformed into giant scythes, looked at Hitsugaya Toshiro and said, "Things are starting to get interesting... That Bankai feels different from before, interesting... Haha—this is really interesting!! So, how about this!?"

Chi-

The blade swung down suddenly, and the golden sword slashed down towards Hitsugaya.

It tore through the ice blocking his way and struck at his front—

"Huh? What?" Nnoitra looked at the person who appeared in front of Hitsugaya Toshiro and said, "Ah... I remember what you look like, your name is Urahara Kisuke, right?"

"It's you—"

“That’s right.” Kisuke Urahara smiled and dispelled the Blood Mist Shield in front of him, saying, “Although Captain Hitsugaya doesn’t seem to need my help, the enemy is quite strong after all… How about I lend a hand?”

"Whatever you say." Hitsugaya looked at Neutra and said, "I never said it had to be one-on-one."

“Another one…” Neutra grinned and charged forward: “It doesn’t matter how many more there are! Just die, all of you!!”
