Zaraki's Physical Body and the Shiba Judgment

She suddenly turned around, opened her mouth, and bit down on the three sword beasts behind her.

"What's going on, Vice-Captain Kusajishi? What are you doing?" Chōjirō Sasakibe asked repeatedly.

He had never seen anyone who had eaten their own Shikai.

Wait a minute, Yachiru Kusajishi is Kenpachi Zaraki's Zanpakuto. These three sword beasts might also be the power generated by Yachiru Kusajishi's False Shikai, but now she's swallowed them back. Could it be that she's going to...?

Before Chōjirō Sasakibe could figure things out, the Reiatsu that had been suppressing the golden lightning suddenly reversed and returned to Yachiru Kusajishi's body.

At this moment, she lowered her head, her hands hanging limply at her sides. After the terrifying Reiatsu returned to her small body, there was no fluctuation, as if she had given up the fight.

Chōjirō Sasakibe showed no sign of letting up. Instead, he extended his Zanpakuto once more, wrapping it with lightning to further enhance his power.

He had a gut feeling, an instinct honed through years of battle—that the Yachiru Kusajishi, was extremely dangerous.

Yachiru Kusajishi slightly opened her mouth, and a black aura emerged from it, followed by a black aura emanating from her body.

The next moment, she raised her head.

"What's going on?" Chōjirō Sasakibe shouted in disbelief.

At this moment, Yachiru Kusajishi's once cute little face had disappeared.

Her face turned red, her eyes lost their pupils, leaving only the whites of her eyes, and her open mouth revealed long canine teeth, while a pair of small, pointed horns appeared at her temples.

Not only her face and neck, but her originally fair and delicate hands were now bright red, as if they were smeared with blood.

They looked just like demons returned from Hell.

Yachiru Kusajishi slowly exhaled and took a step forward with her right foot.

A deafening boom!

The ground, which had remained unscathed during their battle, was instantly cracked and began to sink.

At the same moment, Yachiru Kusajishi's body had vanished from its original spot and suddenly appeared in front of Chōjirō Sasakibe.

She waved her small, blood-red hand, which transformed into deadly claws, and went straight for Chōjirō Sasakibe's neck.

"How is this possible?" Chōjirō Sasakibe's body didn't even have time to react.

Before his brain could even process what was happening, he just stared blankly as the Hell claws came hurtling towards him.

With a deafening clang, the Heat appeared, blocking the Hell claws.

A tremendous heatwave slapped against Chōjirō Sasakibe's face, finally snapping him out of his shock.

He bowed his head to Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, who had removed his Captain's Haori, revealing the scars covering his back, and said, "I'm sorry, Genryūsai- sama, I failed."

Chōjirō Sasakibe was deeply shocked. He had indeed used his Captain-level, which was all his strength, but he was completely unable to react to Yachiru Kusajishi's attack.

The opponent was merely Kenpachi Zaraki's Zanpakuto in its manifested form.

How powerful would Kenpachi Zaraki be if he used this power himself?

As for the strength of Yachiru Kusajishi, even Captain-Commander Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto drew his sword and used his Shikai, which gives us a glimpse into her abilities.

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto placed his sword against the Hell Claws, and the flames on the blade suddenly intensified.

However, even the high temperatures that could melt steel still couldn't harm Kusashi Yachiru Kusajishi claws.

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto said in a deep voice, "Kid, if you keep squandering your power like this, Kenpachi Zaraki might die."

Yachiru Kusajishi retreated, landing in the distance, but she showed no sign of stopping. Her pupil-less eye sockets stared intently at Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto.

If this guy hadn't trapped him here, Ken-chan would never have lost so badly.

It's all this guy's fault! It's all this guy's fault!

Yachiru Kusajishi suddenly spread his arms wide.

At that moment, her small red hands transformed into a pair of Hell claws, and then she roared to the sky, "Roar!!"

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared behind her; it was Retsu Unohana.

Her right hand grabbed something and instantly pierced the back of Yachiru Kusajishi's neck.

The next moment, Yachiru Kusajishi's red skin gradually faded, returning to her original appearance. She closed her eyes and fell to the ground.

Ken-chan...

Retsu Unohana bent down to examine the area, then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Captain-Commander, a Ryoka has invaded Soul Society."

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto sheathed his Zanpakuto, put his haori back on, sat in the captain's chair, and ordered, "Call a captain's meeting."

Chapter 155 Zaraki's Body and Shiba's Verdict

The Valley of Screams Space was now more than half covered in darkness.

Tokoyo Misao stood in the center with his eyes closed, calculating that he would have about ten minutes left to destroy this place.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and said with some surprise, "I didn't expect you could still stand up."

As he spoke, he slowly turned around and looked over, raising an eyebrow.

Kenpachi Zaraki did indeed stand up.

He was bent over, his body emanating a black aura, his skin began to turn red, and a pair of small horns appeared on his forehead.

Tokoyo Misao was somewhat surprised. He recognized this posture; it should be what Kenpachi Zaraki looked like after using his Bankai.

How could he possibly use it when Yachiru Kusajishi isn't even here?

Tokoyo Misao carefully examined Kenpachi Zaraki and noticed that the two horns on his forehead had not continued to grow; they were still small.

There were no other lines on her face, and although her skin was red, it was far from being blood red.

Clearly, this was an imperfect Bankai.

The next moment, Tokoyo Misao's eyes turned completely silver, and the power of his Eternal Eyes was fully activated.

His brow furrowed after only a brief glance.

What happened?

Why did Kenpachi Zaraki's Reishi completely disappear in this state?

Under the influence of Eternal Eyes, the most basic constituent Reishi, can be seen very directly by Tokoyo Misao.

Even a pebble on the roadside or a cloud in the sky would reveal the Reishi essence contained within it under his Eternal Eyes, but Kenpachi Zaraki is completely different now.

The black smoke emanating from his body was not Reishi, but a very strange substance.

Now, his body is also experiencing a very strange sensation.

This completely piqued Tokoyo Misao's curiosity.

He reached out and grabbed at the air, and a gauntlet made of Reishi appeared on his right arm.

Then, he suddenly rushed in front of Kenpachi Zaraki and punched him in the chin from below.

The latter was thrown into the air by this enormous force.

As he flew into the sky, he seemed to finally come to his senses, Kenpachi Zaraki suddenly slapped his right hand towards the sky.

A deafening boom!

A massive burst of air exploded as his fist made contact with the air.

The next moment, Kenpachi Zaraki transformed into a red meteor and crashed downwards.

At this moment, he bared his teeth, revealing four sharp canines, and charged at Tokoyo Misao with his mouth wide open as if a wild beast were tearing at him.

Meanwhile, Tokoyo Misao below looked at the fist with some confusion for a moment.

The feeling of that punch that hit Kenpachi Zaraki's chin just now felt a little off.

That wasn't an attack on a spirit, like Soul Reaper or a void; it was closer to an attack on a physical body.

How is that possible?

A tremendous howling wind drew closer, its pressure slamming heavily onto Tokoyo Misao's shoulders.

He looked up, waved his hand, and unfurled his boxing gloves, revealing the skin of his fists.

Then, he assumed a fighting stance, Kenpachi Zaraki reached his arm span.

His eyes narrowed suddenly, and he threw a series of punches.

Ola la!

His punches were incredibly fast, each one striking Kenpachi Zaraki's chest, chin, and arms with a deafening thud.

Moreover, his punches became faster and faster, and the afterimages merged into one, as if his fists were always pressed against Kenpachi Zaraki's physical body, never retreating.

At this moment, Kenpachi Zaraki had lost his diving momentum. He grinned, his body suspended in mid-air by the punch, unable to fall down at all.

His eyes had lost their pupils, and when attacked, he could only let out meaningless roars, as if he had completely transformed into a wild beast.

After a series of punches, Tokoyo Misao finally confirmed that his sense of punches was correct.

He stepped forward with his right foot, pulled his right fist back to his waist, and then swung it out again with a fierce roar, "One-hit kill, Heaven and Earth Supreme Emperor Fist!"

Black Reishi gathered on his fist, forming a vortex that, like an abyss, sucked in all the light around him.

When he threw that punch, the very space around him seemed to shatter.

Boom! A punch landed squarely on Kenpachi Zaraki's chest, and spiderweb-like cracks immediately appeared in the space, expanding to thousands of meters.

Kenpachi Zaraki, who had transformed into a beast, also stopped roaring. His previously flailing hands lost their strength and hung limply at his sides.

The entire Valley of Screams Space became incredibly quiet.

The next moment, the sound of glass shattering rang out repeatedly.

This space crumbled down like peeling wall panels, and the opening in the space continued to expand and grow, spreading throughout the entire area.

At this moment, Kenpachi Zaraki opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with his internal organs. His body lost strength, and he fell to the ground.

Tokoyo Misao grabbed him by the back of his collar, holding him in his hand, and scanned Kenpachi Zaraki's body with a complicated look in his eyes.

As his skin gradually returned to normal, the previously invisible Reishi began to appear.

Unexpectedly, Kenpachi Zaraki Bankai form actually allowed him to regain his physical body.

However, that physical body is not the same as a human body; its density and cellular strength are on completely different levels.

If it were merely a human body, it would have been reduced to minced meat long ago under his Heaven and Earth Supreme Emperor Fist.

The clicking sound interrupted Tokoyo Misao's thoughts.

He turned his head and looked over. The Valley of Screams Space had already been almost completely eroded by him, and then he used almost all his strength to strike, creating a huge gap in it.

And now this gap is spreading rapidly, and it won't be long before this space is completely destroyed and disappears.

He grabbed Kenpachi Zaraki and charged towards the Soul Society.

Before long, he found the entrance to Soul Society and jumped down.

As soon as I entered, I heard a rapid alarm sounding from Seireitei, along with an announcement of an emergency captains' meeting.

With Kenpachi Zaraki in one hand, he charged towards the First Division meeting room.

When the door was pushed open, all the team leaders were already standing in the conference room.

The captains turned their gazes over, first scanning Tokoyo Misao, and found that his clothes didn't even seem to be dirty.

Then the gaze fell on Kenpachi Zaraki's face, who was being held by the back of his collar with one hand.

It was clear that the captain of the 11th Division was seriously injured.

Tokoyo Misao brought him to Unohana and then let go.

With a thud, Kenpachi Zaraki's body fell to the ground.

Tokoyo Misao said softly, "His life is not in danger, but he still needs treatment."

Unohana nodded, and a warm green light emanated from her right hand, enveloping Kenpachi Zaraki's body.

Tokoyo Misao returned to his position and stood still.

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto spoke first, "Captain Gin Ichimaru, you have had contact with the intruders."

Gin Ichimaru narrowed his eyes and responded in a somewhat carefree tone:

"I merely stopped them at the entrance of the Hakutōmon Sect."
