The Captains Defeated One After Another

The button on Dōsan's shirt was slashed off with a single sword stroke.

Meanwhile, Kenpachi Zaraki, on the other hand, looked as if he had just been soaked in blood, with blood streaming down his body. However, as the blood on his face flowed into his mouth, Zaraki was still laughing.

"Hiccup, the next cut will be on your neck!"

Zaraki's sword became even more ferocious, growing stronger with each battle, while Dōsan retreated repeatedly, his ability to Mirror Reversal alone proving insufficient.

Well.

Zanpakuto originates from the most fundamental energy of Soul Reaper). Once Zanpakuto's combat power reaches the Captain-level through the abilities of their Zanpakuto, they can unleash some of its abilities even without Zanpakuto.

In ancient times, before the concept of Zanpakuto existed, powerful individuals reached Captain-level strength by honing their inner strength without any other means.

They can all do it, Dōsan Hanyū actively detaches himself from the Law of Causality, can naturally do it as well.

The wooden sword swayed slightly, revealing a weakness in Dōsan's defense.

"What are you looking at!" Kenpachi's face contorted with rage as his shattered Zanpakuto slashed down, threatening to slice Dōsan Hanyū in two.

"The Law of Causality."

Kenpachi Zaraki heard Dōsan's soft murmur and sensed something was amiss, but he had no intention of sheathing his sword.

In Kenpachi Zaraki's eyes, there was no such thing as a sword that could be sheathed, and if he advanced even a little further, his sword could sever Dōsan Hanyū's body.

It's like the last bite of a delicious meal.

But...

When the sword was less than a meter from Dōsan's head, and his Spiritual Pressure was almost touching Dōsan's scalp, Kenpachi's childhood energy suddenly dissipated, and the wounds on his body that had already stopped bleeding suddenly burst open again.

His body had already reached its limit.

The Mirror Reversal attack, deflecting Zaraki's strikes, Zaraki turning the blows into his own body.

Under such circumstances, it is entirely reasonable that his final blow, instead of working, became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Is this all you've got to insist on, even if it's all meaningless?

Under the power of the Enma Kōrogi, Kurosaki had lost his hearing, so this could only be considered as him talking to himself.

A bloody gash appeared on Kaname Tōsen's chest. Although he was deprived of multiple senses, Kurosaki's sense of pain remained. It was through this sense of pain that Kurosaki managed to Kaname Tōsen, even though he was already covered in wounds.

"However, I won't give you another chance."

Kaname Tōsen raised his Zanpakuto and slashed at Ichigo Kurosaki's shoulder.

Just then, Kaname Tōsen's expression suddenly became somewhat flustered.

Kenpachi Zaraki's Spiritual Pressure disappeared?

How could that be?

If it were Dōsan Hanyū in his prime, facing Kenpachi Zaraki would be no problem. Not to mention Kenpachi Zaraki, even if the entire Zero Division attacked, Dōsan Hanyū would have a fighting chance, and at least be able to escape unscathed.

Tōsen, who had been following Aizen, had long since become a half-fan of "Dōsan Hanyū."

But times have changed.

Captain Aizen confidently asserted that Dōsan Hanyū had lost his Spiritual Pressure; how could someone without Spiritual Pressure defeat Kenpachi Zaraki?

That's true, it's not uncommon for Captain Aizen to misjudge Dōsan; it's not the first time.

Kenpachi Zaraki's defeat had another effect: it directly caused Kaname Tōsen to hesitate for a moment before striking. It was this moment of hesitation that Ichigo Kurosaki seized upon.

He reached out his left hand and grasped Kaname Tōsen's Zanpakuto, then Zangetsu, "Getsuga Tenshō!"

A full-force strike landed on Kaname Tōsen; the villain died from talking too much, Tōsen ultimately paid the price for his hesitation.

This Getsuga Tenshō was both fast and ruthless. Kaname Tōsen was sent flying, choking on blood. He silently apologized to Captain Aizen before collapsing unconscious in the corner.

As the light returned, Ichigo Kurosaki, panting and choking on blood, suddenly found himself surrounded by a blur. The battle that had just taken place, though not intense, had been dangerous enough.

Kaname Tōsen's abilities are quite effective against direct-attack types like Kurosaki Zaraki, but both in the established storyline and now, he's been having some bad luck.

Yoruichi Shihōin day, suddenly helped the Ichigo Kurosaki, but her mind was entirely on Dōsan Hanyū.

"As expected, Urahara really has a good eye for people."

Wow, that Kenpachi Zaraki is absolutely monstrous. He's clearly still a few steps away from being a top-tier captain, but the stronger you are, the more you can sense Kenpachi Zaraki is.

The current Gotei 13, if anyone is to be able to defeat Captain-Commander Yamamoto in the future, it will definitely be him.

Yet, this Kenpachi Zaraki was defeated by Dōsan Hanyū, a mysterious and unknown young man.

Fortunately, he is our friend.

Should.

Carrying the unconscious Kurosaki, Yoruichi Shihōin her secret base.

However, just after she transformed from a black cat into human form, not far from her, Soi Fon licked her finger-blade Suzumebachi, revealing an expression that was three parts hatred and seven parts nostalgia.

"Found you! Yoruichi Shihōin!"

"Huh? That Zaraki guy actually got knocked down?"

The Spiritual Pressure was still there, but quite weak. It seemed that Dōsan Hanyū hadn't gone all out.

Is it different from what Aizen said?

Although he was fighting Uryū Ishida, Gin Ichimaru was distracted, constantly watching the changes in Spiritual Pressure Dōsan Hanyū Hanyu.

A moment later.

Kaname Tōsen's Spiritual Pressure also became extremely weak.

"That's exactly what Aizen said."

Gin Ichimaru couldn't grasp the key point, and he became a little impatient.

Because Aizen must have weakened, becoming like him and Tōsen, and even now Gin Ichimaru can gauge Aizen's strength.

Aizen has only just entered the ranks of top-tier captains; is this level even possible?

Never before has Aizen been this weak; this is his best chance.

"Hey you, where are you looking?!"

Uryū Ishida's arrow, delivered with such venom, was easily dodged by Gin Ichimaru.

As he sensed the gradually dissipating Spiritual Pressure emanating from Uryū Ishida across from him, Gin Ichimaru remembered that Ichimaru had seemingly used some desperate ability before.

"You're not resolute enough. You don't know what you're fighting for, and you have no desire to win. You're selfish by nature, yet you always pretend to be sociable. Uryū Ishida, why are you so easily abandoning everything? Is it friendship or your ridiculous pride?"

Gin Ichimaru desperately wanted to stab him, but he ultimately restrained himself, which could be considered Aizen's way of giving up.

"Considering your hard work, this round will be considered a victory for you."

"You bastard, stop right there!" Ishida clutched his injured arm, glaring angrily at Gin Ichimaru.

Gin Ichimaru flicked his haori, leaving Ishida with only his back view.

The entire Seireitei was shaken from the moment Kenpachi Zaraki's Spiritual Pressure was on the verge of disappearing.

When Kaname Tōsen's Spiritual Pressure also became incredibly weak, the Soul Reaper of Seireitei felt more fear and confusion.
