After the Battle

According to the information, before joining the Gotei 13, Unohana was an unprecedented villain in the history of Soul Society. More than a hundred years ago, Unohana claimed to have mastered all the schools and sword styles in the world and named herself "Yachiru".

Later, for reasons unknown, she was recruited by Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai and became the captain of the 11th Division of the first Gotei 13. Because of her extreme love for fighting and enjoyment of the thrill of battle, the 11th Division under her leadership became the most skilled fighting division, and she called herself 'Kenpachi'! This means the strongest swordsman in Soul Society!

To become Kenpachi, one must defeat the previous Kenpachi. This is the rule for all the Kenpachi in the 11th Division. Kenpachi Zaraki is the Eleventh Kenpachi. He defeated the Tenth Kenpachi, Kenpachi Zaraki Kenpachi Kiganjō, in front of all two hundred members of the team before he passed the interview and became the captain of the 11th Division.

To date, most of the Shinigami who have been able to hold the title of Kenpachi are strong individuals, with only the Ninth and Tenth being exceptions. It is said that the Ninth Kenpachi was the vice-captain of the Seventh Kenpachi and Eighth Kenpachi before, but because the Eighth Kenpachi voluntarily went to prison for betraying the Central 46, he became the Ninth Kenpachi.

The Ninth Kenpachi was the only Shinigami who did not obtain the title of "Kenpachi" by defeating the previous Kenpachi in a one-on-one fight. Therefore, he was killed by Gosuke Kiganjō from Rukongai not long after. However, this generation of Kenpachi did not seem to have any special abilities. After Zaraki appeared, he was quickly defeated and became the eleventh Kenpachi.

As for why Unohana became the captain of the Fourth Division, there is no record of it in the materials. After joining the Fourth Division, Unohana's personality changed drastically, and there is no trace of her former self in the current Unohana.

Kenpachi closed his eyes and said, "You're right. I was born in the Rukongai of Zaraki District, a place filled with bloodshed. But I was lonely there because no one could rival me, until she appeared." As he spoke, a glint of excitement flashed in Kenpachi's eyes. "I lost that battle with her..."

Kenpachi didn't finish his sentence, but Ye Yang got the gist of it. Since it was a matter between them, Ye Yang had no intention of interfering and would let them resolve it themselves...

Kenpachi, supporting his battered body, stood up and stared intently at Ye Yang, asking, "Ye Yang Shihoin, I have one more question! Was that your last trump card?"

Ye Yang pondered for a moment, "If we're only talking about attack power, that Sky-Rending Sword move I just used was indeed the strongest attack I could unleash."

Although Kenpachi was simple-minded, he understood what Ye Yang meant. In other words, Ye Yang had actually held back in the battle just now, but his attack power was not as strong as that of the Sky-Rending Sword.

"I've gotten injured again. Looks like I have no choice but to go to the Fourth Division this time." Kenpachi tried to move his body, but found that he was sore all over and had no strength at all. His wounds hadn't healed either. If it weren't for this, he really wouldn't want to go to the Fourth Division.

"No need."

Meanwhile, in Ikkaku of the 11th Division, Yoshichika and his Yumichika were waiting. The sudden disappearance of their captain and Ye Yang left them at a loss, but there was nothing they could do. After all, this level of battle was beyond their ability to intervene, and they believed that with their captain's strength, nothing bad should happen to him.

An hour later, a silver light suddenly flashed in front of them. Both of them were delighted, because the silver light had flashed when they first disappeared, and this time it was possible that they had returned.

As expected, Ye Yang and Kenpachi appeared. Ikkaku and Yumichika quickly went forward to greet them, eager to know the outcome of the battle. However, they were disappointed because they couldn't discern anything from them.

Ye Yang and Kenpachi stood there unharmed, without a single wound on their bodies. Strangely, even their clothes were intact, as if the two had never fought at all!

A series of question marks appeared above Ikkaku and Yumichika's heads. How could this be? Did they not fight? Impossible! They fought so fiercely before, how could they come out without any injuries? But it was obvious that their Spiritual Pressure had decreased significantly, clearly due to excessive consumption.

"Team... Captain, you..." Ikkaku stammered, Ikkaku mind screaming: Who can tell me what's going on?!

However, Yumichika quickly calmed down and asked, "Captain, Ye Yang, who won?"

Ye Yang shook his head and remained silent, while Kenpachi said, "You all go about your business. This is between him and me, so don't interfere."

Ikkaku and Yumichika stared at each other, filled with questions but daring not to voice them. What if Kenpachi wasn't satisfied and used them as the next punching bag? They didn't want to be free punching bags.

The two looked at each other, at a loss for words, and could only retreat. However, they had just stepped out of the main gate when they were surrounded by the members of the 11th Division. They had been evacuated earlier because they could not withstand such a powerful Spiritual Pressure.

However, after Ye Yang used his Bankai, their Spiritual Pressure disappeared, and the evacuated team members returned one by one to await the outcome. Only Ikkaku and Yumichika dared not go in and could only wait quietly outside the door for the result.

"Third Seat Madarame, how did the battle between the Captain and the Lieutenant Shihoin go? Did the Captain win?"

"Yes, Fifth Seat Ayasegawa, tell us what happened. Who won?"

After pondering helplessly for a moment, Yumichika said in a low voice, "It should... be considered a draw." Neither Ye Yang nor Kenpachi had any injuries, although it was clear that their Spiritual Pressure had been significantly depleted. But who could really know who had won?

Neither Kenpachi nor Ye Yang looked like they had been defeated, so a draw was the only explanation.

"A draw? How is that possible? The captain's strength is top-notch even among Captain-level. How could he possibly fight a vice-captain to a draw?" The first question was raised.

"Yeah, no matter what, Captain-level officer can't be compared to a vice-captain."

However, some spoke up for Ye Yang, saying, "I think it's about right. If I remember correctly, the sudden flash of silver light in the captain's room looked like the release of Zanpakuto. Since the captain can't release Zanpakuto, it must be the vice-captain. I remember he had already Shikai his Shikai, and releasing it again would be Bankai! Anyone who can reach the Bankai level is at the Captain-level, isn't that?"

His analysis makes a lot of sense. If Ye Yang were to Bankai, it wouldn't be impossible for him to fight the captain to a draw. At least they wouldn't think that Ikkaku and Yumichika were lying to them, because there's simply no need for that.

At this moment, only Kenpachi and Ye Yang remained in the room. Oh no, it should be said that there was also a chubby Little Yachiru. Every time Kenpachi fought, she would stand in a place where she wouldn't disturb Kenpachi and watch silently, appreciating Kenpachi's enjoyment of the battle, never letting anyone bother her.

If anyone disturbs Kenpachi, she will not hesitate to attack, no matter who you are! Don't underestimate her small body, she contains tremendous power, otherwise she wouldn't be in the position of vice-captain. Moreover, Kenpachi's Spiritual Pressure has no effect on her, which also shows that Yachiru is not a simple child.

The same was true of the battle just now. Yachiru watched silently from a corner, eating the konpeito Ye Yang gave her while praying for Kenpachi. When Ye Yang used his Bankai and both of them disappeared, Yachiru was very worried, but the amazing confidence Kenpachi gave her calmed her down.

Until Ye Yang and Kenpachi finally appeared, and she saw the faint smile on Kenpachi's lips, she knew that Kenpachi had truly experienced the joy of battle. Kenpachi was happy, so she was happy too.

After Ikkaku and Yumichika left, she immediately jumped onto Kenpachi's shoulder, laughing as she said to Ye Yang, "Thank you, Little Ye-Yе. It's been a long time since I've seen Kenny smile so happily."

Kenpachi just smiled noncommittally. Ye Yang said, "It's nothing. Besides, it's been a long time since I've had such an exhilarating battle. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Yachiru's eyes lit up as she said, "Little Ye-Yе, remember to come visit our 11th Division often!"

Ye Yang replied without turning his head, "I'll definitely come when I have time!"

"Ye Yang Shihoin, remember what you just said!" Kenpachi said with a smile, but no one noticed the look of helplessness in his Kenpachi. This ability was truly...

Actually, Ye Yang didn't say anything important. He just said that when he had free time and was bored, he would come to the 11th Division to spar with Kenpachi. Of course, it would just be a spar, not like today where someone almost died. Moreover, such a powerful Spiritual Pressure collision was probably known to everyone in the Seireien.

Ye Yang waved and walked out the door. Before the team members could even surround him and ask questions, Ye Yang Shunpo disappeared. Given Ye Yang's speed, it was impossible for the team members to keep up.

After Ye Yang left, the team members naturally flocked to the training room, eager to know the outcome of the battle.

"Captain, who won your fight with Ye Yang? It wasn't really a draw like Yumichika said, was it?" Ikkaku asked again, and this was the answer everyone present wanted to know.

Kenpachi impatiently Zanpakuto over his shoulder and said, "You can ask me that question when you can last a hundred moves against me! Now, those of you who need to train, go train!" With a loud Kenpachi, Kenpachi's team scattered like birds and beasts. Kenpachi's prestige in the 11th Division was exceptionally high.

Within the 11th Division, strength is everything. They only admire the strong, and Kenpachi is the strongest among them. They have the deepest respect for Kenpachi!

The reason why Kenpachi refused to reveal the result was because Ye Yang forbade him to tell anyone. In the first place, it was not Ye Yang's intention to make such a big fuss with Kenpachi. Demonstrating strength comparable to Kenpachi could both intimidate those who were secretly watching him and make them feel that Ye Yang was not powerful enough to make them fear him.
