The long knife scratched the blade and caused sparks of friction, and then slowly returned to the scabbard.
The huge blade made a heart-stopping metallic sound when it was sheathed.
Komamura's left formation and the movements of "Black Rope Tenshu Mingou" behind him were consistent. When his Zanpakutō was completely returned to the scabbard, the towering figure behind him also completed the action of sheathing the sword and gradually turned into a point of light.
Dissipated with the wind.
"Amazing……"
Madarame Ikkaku was a little shocked when he saw the left formation of Komamura in front of him, from using the swastika to the end of the battle, killing the Arrancar who defeated him with just one sword. He thought that even with the swastika, he could only defeat this Arrancar.
The state before returning to the sword, and if this Arrancar performs the return to the sword, the outcome may be unpredictable.
After mastering the swastika, he always believed that his strength had reached the level of a captain. As for why he was in the third position, it was just because he was in the 11th Division with the strongest combat effectiveness.
But now he seems to finally understand...it turns out that these captains have never really shown their strength before this moment.
"Of course..."
Tetsuzaemon's tone was a little low, "Your swastika is far behind the captain's. Ikkaku, after all, you have been hiding your strength. Since you mastered swastika, you have a real sense of strength."
Have you ever exercised the power of "Ki Toumaru"?"
"!? How could you..." Madarame Ikkaku was shocked when he heard this.
He has probably never used "Swastika" in Soul Society. Why would this guy know about it?
Um...wait a minute...why did you say that?
"Do you think no one noticed this? You idiot."
Tetsuzaemon of the shooting range sighed helplessly, "Actually, everyone is just tacitly understanding it, in order to maintain your ridiculous beliefs and persistence."
"Ah this..." Madarame Ikkaku had a strange expression on his face when he heard this.
You all know about the co-authorship? I thought I did a good job keeping it secret?
"You have to understand the situation... This time your mission was to protect the pillar, but in the end the pillar was destroyed because of your persistence! It's your business to hide your strength and be killed by the enemy, but... you can't be implicated in this.
Innocent people! If Karakura Town is transferred back, everything will be over! Because of personal persistence, the entire Gotei 13 team will be humiliated! Do you think this is right?" Tetsuzaemon's tone at the shooting range changed.
Getting more and more angry.
"I understand! Mr. Kiba... I understand all of this! But I..." Madarame seemed to want to explain something.
"boom--"
He punched Madarame Ikkaku mercilessly in the face, knocking him to the ground.
"What on earth do you understand? Bastard."
Tetsuzaemon of the shooting range rubbed his fists and turned around to leave, "Don't be too naive. This is a battlefield, not an amusement park. You think that even if you die, there will be someone who can replace you. That's what you think in your heart, so you deserve to lose."
.”
"Huh? What did you say!? That I deserved to lose!?" Madarame seemed a little unconvinced when he heard this.
"Isn't it!? Did I say something wrong somewhere!?" Tetsuzaemon Kiba turned around with a cold gaze.
"hateful!"
Madarame roared, waving Kitomaru with only one broken stick left, and attacked Tetsuzaemon at the shooting range.
"snort."
Tetsuzaemon from the shooting field snorted softly, turned around and raised his hand to easily hold Kitomaru in his hand.
"You're obviously injured all over your body, why do you still want to attack like this?"
As he spoke, he pushed away suddenly and put Madarame Ikkaku down to the ground again.
"Fighting like yours is completely meaningless! It doesn't matter if you're running away or trying to trick me! You have to win for me! If you can't win on the battlefield, there's no point!"
"That kind of cowardly fighting style...I can't do it!!" Madarame Ikkaku retorted.
"Then use all your strength!!!" Tetsuzaemon Tetsuzaemon roared angrily, "Use all your strength to face the enemy head-on! And then win with dignity and dignity, isn't that what a man is? ()!? Even if you lose,
No one will say anything to you! But you are timid because of your persistence! This is escape! Coward!"
As he spoke, Tetsuzaemon turned around again, his back looking a little helpless: "If you want to stick to your principles, then use all your strength...Fight the enemy, you must win even if you die. That way...is right
Bar?"
"..."
When Madarame heard this, he froze on the spot and remained silent.
"Captain..." Looking at Komamura Zuozhen who came to them at some point, Tetsuzaemon turned around and raised his head.
"Well……"
Komamura Zuozhen shook his ears in embarrassment and turned away, "Don't worry, my ears don't seem to be very sharp today. It's a pity that I didn't hear what you were saying."
············
"Tsk...those losers actually died like this..."
"hateful……"
Beside the bone seats, the Arrancar subordinate officers looked at the situation in front of them and seemed a little uneasy, arguing in low voices.
"Crack——"
The armrest of the seat was crushed under the terrifying force of Balegang.
Hearing this broken voice and looking at Bailegang's figure who seemed to be getting up, the Arrancars who were arguing suddenly trembled and hurriedly knelt down.
"I'm extremely sorry! Lord Bailegang! We will destroy them right now! Please be patient!"
The subordinate officers' foreheads were covered with sweat as they observed Bailegang's next actions.
They had so many people here, and they actually asked this person to do it himself... Then you don't have to think about the consequences that are waiting for them.
No one will ever have mercy on useless "waste".
"call……"
It wasn't until they saw Bailegang sitting back again that they heaved a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry, Lord Bailegang...we will definitely not let you down again."
"Oh? Really?"
There was contemptuous laughter from behind.
Zhibi and her adjutant Ohmaeda Kichiyo instantly walked behind the two subordinate officers who were kneeling on the ground.
"You just said... you want to destroy us? Are you serious? If the answer doesn't satisfy me..."
As he spoke, the sound of the blade cutting across the scabbard was heard. Sui Feng calmly pulled out the short knife from his waist, "I'll start with you first."
"..."
The Arrancar officer with a bone mask like a saber-toothed tiger on his forehead turned back silently, and the expression on his face changed from the awe of Balegang to contempt and disdain.
"Forget it... Judging from your expression, you probably don't intend to answer."
Broken Bee looked at the sarcastic smile on the other person's face with almost the same expression, "No matter whether you answer or not, I will take action."
clang--
Almost as soon as the words fell, the sound of knives like war horns resounded in everyone's ears.
Both the captains and the Arrancars all stared blankly.
Everyone stroked their swords in unison, ready to go.
"Finally...the war is about to officially begin..."
Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni murmured calmly, and the slightly squinted eyes on his old face suddenly opened, with flames burning in the pupils, which reflected Aizen and the others who were surrounded by flames in the distance.
After confirming that Aizen and the others would probably not break through this confinement in a short period of time, he turned his gaze to Bailegang, who was leading the group of Arrancars, and his eyes became sharp.
"Everyone, come on! Risk everything, and we must completely destroy the enemy here! Even if we are shattered into pieces, our bones must be turned into an iron wall! One step... will not let them set foot on the soil of Soul Society!!"
"Oh my, my shoulders... my shoulders are so sore..."
Listening to Captain Yamamoto's impassioned declaration in front of the station, Kyoraku Shunsui lowered the brim of his hat and complained, "Old man Yamamoto is so motivated... Even I was affected..."
"That's right, when the war is over, let's go massage his shoulders ()." Jutsuro Ukitake on the side answered, but he seemed to have made a mistake.
"You misunderstood...I said my shoulders are so sore."
Kyoraku Shunsui sighed, "Even though the fight hasn't started yet, I already have a premonition that my shoulders will be very sore next."
"You guy... you're still as lazy as ever..."
Ukitake Jushiro sighed with a wry smile.
That's right, the "person with the talent to take over the position of captain" that Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni complained about before is this guy. It is clear that he is fully qualified in terms of strength and other abilities, but on weekdays
But he always looked like a mess.
During the exchange, everyone in Soul Society unknowingly dispersed into pairs.
The number of two people in a group is just right, so that they can take care of each other during the battle, and prevent too many people from interfering with each other during the battle.
The Arrancars on the opposite side didn't seem to care how their opponents prepared to fight, because they were confident that they would win in the end no matter what, so they did not stop the movements of the Shinigami, and calmly watched these people disperse, and then
Each one selects the prey they are interested in as if they are allocating prey.
Soon, in front of everyone in the Soul Society, except for the Broken Bees who had already started fighting, there were enemies who were looking for them.
"Brother...it seems like it's not easy for you too?"
Seeing Stark coming to him with a child-like Arrancar, Kyoraku Shunsui sighed helplessly.
"What?"
On the opposite side, Stark seemed to be unable to understand the meaning of these words.
"I mean...can you put this child aside for a while?" Kyoraku Shunsui pointed his finger at the subordinate officer following Stark, "If she is here, I can't fight with all my strength, I think you should
Same thing, right?"
"What are you talking about!?" Veins popped up on the child-like Poman's face when he heard this, "Are you looking down on me? Bastard Shinigami!? Do you mean that if you fight with all your strength, it will affect me!? You are looking down on me!"
"Hey... don't talk, Lilynette." Stark said helplessly as he looked at Kyōraku Shunsui across from him, "It doesn't matter, if you can't use your full strength, then I won't use my full strength either."
"What do you mean by that?" Jutsuro Ukitake asked with a slight frown upon hearing this.
"How should I put it..." Stark scratched his head, looking like he had a headache, "In terms of personality, I'm not the kind of person who takes it very seriously... I think I'll just pretend to be fighting and wait for the rest.
Let’s finish it now, right?”
"Wha...what!?" Jushiro Ukitake was a little embarrassed and suspected that he had heard wrongly.
"I think this is a good suggestion..."
Kyōraku Shunsui on the side laughed and clapped his hands, "I like that very much too... To be honest, I'm quite afraid of pain! If it were normal, the two of us would sit down and have a good chat and maybe we could get along...
...If possible, I would really like to accept your suggestion...but this time, I'm afraid there's no other way."
As he spoke, the originally casual expression on Kyoryaku Shunsui's face became serious.
"Considering the situation...it's not a good idea for us to do this now, don't you think so?"
"Really? It seems to be the same..."
Stark scratched his head and asked himself, then helplessly stretched out his hand to touch the blade at his waist, "It's really troublesome..."
"team leader……"
Rangiku Matsumoto, who was back to back with Toshiro Hitsugaya, called softly.
At this moment, they are surrounded by four Arrancars. Judging from the level of spiritual pressure they feel, they should be a "Ten Blades" level Arrancar, and the remaining three are her subordinate officers.
"I will take care of these three subordinate officers. Captain, you will be responsible for the "Ten Blades" behind them."
"Can you do it?"
Hitsugaya Toshiro didn't even look back, his eyes were warily paying attention to the "Ten Blades" in front of him.
"certainly."
A confident voice came from Matsumoto Rangiku's mouth.
"Okay then. I'll leave it to you. At least hold on until the battle on my side is over."
() After saying this, Hitsugaya Toshiro's figure disappeared, leaving only an afterimage.
Their side was already at a numerical disadvantage, and this was a situation they had to face. Even if Matsumoto Rangiku said that he couldn't deal with it, he could only find a way to hold on until his side defeated the enemy before helping.
"Wait! Don't even think about getting close to Lord Harribel!"
When the three subordinate officers saw Toshiro Hitsugaya leaving, they immediately prepared to pursue him.
The reason why they surrounded these two people was of course to kill them together. They were just a captain and a vice-captain, so why did Lord Harribel need to take action personally?
"Wait!"
However, just when they were about to pursue Hitsugaya Toshiro, they were stopped by Harribel, who was watching from a short distance away.
"You guys deal with that woman."
Harribel's eyes were calmly looking at Hitsugaya Toshiro who was approaching. At the same time, he stretched out his fingers to hook the ring on the sword of the giant blade on his back and slowly pulled it out.
scabbard.
Buzz——
This knife looks huge in the scabbard, but after pulling it out, you can see that the middle of the blade is actually hollow. As Harribel moves his fingers, the hollow blade rotates on his slender fingertips, making a sharp and piercing sound.
of buzzing.
"Leave this person...to me."
As he spoke, Harribel's figure moved.
She could tell that although the young man in front of her looked young, he did have "captain level" strength. It was impossible for her three subordinate officers to deal with this young man and the woman alone.
clang--
Dang Dang Dang——
The crisp sound of swords sounded almost simultaneously in the sky over Karakura Town.
The war between the God of Death and Arrancar finally started at this moment.
