Dōsan Hanyū vs. Mayuri Kurotsuchi

"It seems Captain Kurotsuchi is also interested in Hikaru."

"Whatever." Ichimonji Tsunayashiro raised his hand and smiled dismissively.

He could see it, so Nie could naturally see it too.

For a discerning scientist, the almost innate coexistence of Soul Reaper and Hollows was an irresistible temptation.

"If Nie reaches out, we'll chop him off!"

Yin turned his head and squinted at the battlefield below.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi's abilities attracted his attention, but at the same time, Tsunayashiro also served as a check on him.

In other words, it was inevitable that Dōsan Hanyū would become Soul Reaper.

Therefore, the fact that the unusual Dōsan Hanyū attracted the attention of the mad scientist Nemu was an inevitable step in solving the problem.

The optimal solution to this problem is to meet a special hybrid of Soul Reaper and a Hollow, Inorei Hikaru.

If we add to the previous speculation, the key to reducing the side effects of Dōsan Hanyū's abilities lies with the Shiba Clan.

The only way to get closer to the Shiba Clan is to become Soul Reaper Grim Reaper).

The wind tousled Silver's hair, and it also tousled Silver's heart.

To rationalize and normalize everything.

"The Correctness of Revision."

The blade of the Ashisogi Jizō is golden and splits into three irregular blades. At the hilt is a fat infant whose face is not clearly visible. Around the blades is a thick purple mist, which one can easily sense is highly poisonous.

"Your ability should be to return the wounds and status of friendly forces to the attacker in a doubled form. The only commendable thing is that I couldn't discern the medium through which you possess this ability."

Nirvana approached Dōsan Hanyū's direction step by step.

"But how to return the damage, and what price must be paid—is it Spiritual Pressure, lifespan, or something else?"

In an instant, Nirvana had arrived in front of Dōsan Hanyū. Purple mist swirled around Ashisogi Jizō, and Nirvana slashed at Dōsan Hanyū.

Dōsan Hanyū reacted quickly, slicing a knife horizontally and holding it in front of him.

The blade touched and then withdrew; Dōsan retreated.

"Hadō 31: Shakkahō"

Dōsan leaned back, freeing one hand, and gathered a fireball in his palm.

"One-handed, no-chant release of the Shakkahō —no wonder even Isshin speaks so highly of your Kidō."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi, who should have retreated, appeared on top of Dōsan Hanyū, carrying the Ashisogi Jizō towards Dōsan Hanyū.

"Click..."

Nie's strike seemed to have hit a protective shield, producing a soft clanging sound.

Not only that, Nie's tiger's mouth also bore a knife wound due to the Mirror Reversal.

Nirvana didn't seem to mind at all. "Oh? Is this what Mirror Reversal is? To be able to analyze the Reishi of a technique to this extent, no wonder your Kidō is so excellent. It's a terrifying talent."

Nie was very pleased with himself; he even treated the battle as a scientific experiment.

This is how you can distinguish yourself from those single-celled organisms.

Throughout the battle, Dōsan remained serious and calm.

The Nirvana before him, at least in terms of Shunpo), completely overwhelmed him.

But it's not that there's no chance at all.

Isshin's weight is as heavy as a mountain, Soi Fon's speed is as fast as the wind, Yamamoto's depth is unfathomable, Zaraki's killing intent is boundless.

There is none.

Furthermore, Dōsan could even measure Nie's combat strength.

There is still a chance to win!

Really.

Nemuro became captain during this period because of the successful experiment on Nemu Number Seven. Although Nemuro had learned Bankai, his mastery of Bankai at this time was not even as Ikkaku Madarame.

After all, scientists despise crude fighting.

The Mirror Reversal successfully.

Dōsan, seizing the advantage, pressed his advantage, and with a slash of his black blade, Spiritual Pressure materialized into a blade that came crashing down.

Nie could only block directly. The Spiritual Pressure collided, and although Dōsan's Spiritual Pressure level was far inferior to Nie's, the two managed to fight to a draw despite having the first move.

' Your Shunpo is superior to mine, but limited; you have a greater advantage in close combat.'

'His swordsmanship is crude, even comparable to mine.'

How can someone like that be a captain?

We can win.

Dōsan's confidence was rekindled, and the closer it got to this point, the more composed Dōsan became.

"That's truly a terrifying talent."

Nemu felt no humiliation whatsoever at being suppressed by a mere student from the Shin'ō Academy of Spiritual Arts.

"Captain Kurotsuchi, be careful, don't embarrass the captain."

"Oh? That's rare. According to the records, you shouldn't be the type to taunt during battle."

Nirvana liked everything to conform to his expectations, and the feeling of having everything under control from a scientist's perspective.

But they also enjoy the "accidents" that happen in scientific experiments.

Nie raised his head and saw Dōsan's eyes, which had turned pitch black, and his menacing killing intent.

"This is a state not recorded in the intelligence, hehehe..."

Nie laughed strangely, even though he could sense Dōsan Hanyū's chilling killing intent, Nie was not surprised at all.

After all, this is the man in front of me.

But he's the great villain who slaughtered all the wandering souls in the West District 49!

If his guess is proven true, this brat in front of him is even more "evil" than the First Kenpachi.

Dōsan charged forward, his murderous aura seemingly imbuing the black blade with a divine light, making it No Cause sharper and more terrifying.

This time, the knife was not blocked.

The black blade slashed vertically, severing one of Nie's arms.

Nirvana's Ashisogi Jizō slashed and wounded Dōsan Hanyū's left arm.

It wasn't over yet. The minor injury to his left arm didn't affect Dōsan's movements. He stabbed upwards again, slicing open the abdomen once more.

"Pfft..." Nie spat out a mouthful of blood. The two separated, and Nie reached into his pocket, pulled out two green reagents, and inserted them into his body. Nie's wounds, and even his severed limbs, were instantly restored.

"To be honest, you did a good job. Your talent and strength have exceeded my expectations." Nie, fully recovered, revealed a strange smile and walked towards Dōsan's side.

"Continuing from what I said before, your ability is to return damage and abnormal statuses you receive to a multiple of their original value. Anyone struck by my blade will have their brain's control over their limbs severed."

"And my body isn't entirely controlled by my brain. If your knife can do that, then bring it on!"

Literally speaking, the Ashisogi Jizō can be considered the nemesis of No Cause.

No, it should be said that Mayuri Kurotsuchi's special body is the nemesis of No Cause.

It's not as simple as Mayuri Kurotsuchi said; at least for now, Dōsan Hanyū is experiencing persistent pain in his body.

Dōsan raised his head and grasped No Cause in his hand.

"Without birth, there is no nightmare; without beginning, there is no calamity— No Cause."

"It's no use, it's no use, how many times do I have to tell you before you understand!"

Nirvana came forward Ashisogi Jizō.

As expected, even though he hated this kind of barbarian fighting, sometimes he had to do it himself when it came to capturing experimental subjects.

But at the beginning, he actually hoped that through the battle, Dōsan Hanyū would resonate with the District 49 of West Rukongai in some way.

Unfortunately, that didn't happen.

Nirvana easily approached Dōsan, raising the Ashisogi Jizō in an attempt to injure Dōsan until he lost consciousness.

Ke Nie raised his hand halfway up, but couldn't move it no matter what he did.

"Clang."

The Ashisogi Jizō fell to the ground.

A long-forgotten pain swept over Nie's entire body.

This was the first time that Nirvana had used his own body to experience the power of Ashisogi Jizō.

Why?
