Soul Reaper: My Zanpakuto Is a Bit Trendy
"..."
The raised fingers were lowered again.
For cross-level crushing, the Bailian Bolt uses a Binding Dao strength of about No. 70, which is enough to cope with the captain-level initial solution - after being promoted to the second-level spiritual power, the strength of the Bailian Bolt released by Haruto with a single finger is equivalent to the Binding Dao No. 60; and the upper limit of the strength of this move "·qu"... is controlled by Haruto with five fingers at the same time.
"That's... all done?"
Ayaka turned her head in disbelief, looking at Haruto, whose sword was not even unsheathed... no, whose Haruto was not even drawn from its sheath.
... That's still not right.
To be more precise, Haruto nailed the former Third Division Captain to the cross with just two fingers.
Ayaka knew that Haruto was very strong now, and she had heard the news that he had instantly defeated Adjuchas; but it wasn't until she witnessed it with her own eyes that she realized just how ridiculously strong Haruto was now.
How could that be?
Haruto smiled and shook his head.
"Captain Kitahara is waiting for me to approach."
"Um?"
Ayaka looked puzzled.
"If Hyakurensan only two-tenths of the force could suppress Captain-level, then everyone wouldn't need to go through so much trouble to Zanpakuto."
Haruto explained from the side.
"Speaking of which... Kidō, A-Qing, that just now? I don't think I've ever heard of the name Hyakurensan?"
"No."
Nanao, standing behind Haruto, answered on his behalf.
"This is..."
"Part of Bakudō #99."
"Ah!?"
Volume 1: 156, Some things, if you don't weigh them, they're nothing; but if you do weigh them, they're nothing.
While Ayaka was still supporting the event.
The chains binding Kitahara Kenshin have begun to shake and break.
"You know my abilities?"
Kitahara Kenshin's lips trembled.
The Hyakurensan can completely restrict the bound person's movement; the fact that they can do this indicates that the other party has begun to break through the Shibari.
"Before accepting a mission, it's always necessary to gather intelligence on the target."
Haruto said without moving.
"So... confident?"
Kitahara Kenshin was referring to the distance between Haruto and himself.
"The Captain Kyōraku told me not to worry about it."
Since he couldn't ask Captain-Commander Yamamoto for the intelligence directly, Haruto stopped Shunsui Kyōraku on his way out.
No...
It should be said that Shunsui Kyōraku stayed there voluntarily, just waiting for Haruto to greet him.
You are not him.
Kitahara Kenshin's voice grew louder and louder.
It wasn't that he had a loud voice, but rather that the sound of the chains breaking was increasingly jarring.
"Really."
"..."
Haruto's "decisiveness" silenced him.
"You didn't say I'm inferior to him... Okay, compared to the Captain Kyōraku, I'm indeed far behind, but there are areas where I'm not good at."
"Based on this Kidō?"
"Just based on this Kidō."
Although many were broken.
But as these silvery metal particles dispersed into Reishi, they quickly reformed into new chains and re-bound the chains.
It seemed like Haruto wasn't manipulating things at all.
"..."
"Bankai!"
Kitahara Kenshin, who thought he had successfully broken free of his Shibari... not only boasted but also decisively used his Bankai.
"Armor-Cutting Beheading!"
The semi-circular openings were pieced together to form a complete circle, and the double-edged sword, originally twice its original size and shaped like a door panel, appeared in Kitahara Kenshin's hands.
The Beheading after Bankai.
Rules- Zanpakuto.
The unique blade structure, resembling a spring knife, allows the blade to freely contract and extend during swinging, and instantly cuts through the "image" within the opening upon re-closing, making it a truly lethal weapon.
Pity.
"Bankin"
Haruto's chanting was only half a beat slower than Kitahara Kenshin's liberation speech.
"Finale: The Bankin Taihō!"
A pale gold swastika appeared directly on Kitahara Kenshin's chest.
Cut off the image?
There must be a specific goal.
The Bankin Taihō that expands from the opponent's heart... the best way to break free is, of course, to cut yourself.
Otherwise.
In just three counts, Kitahara Kenshin will be completely sealed inside—although he knows the chances of survival are slim, even being imprisoned in the Central Underground Great: The Jail is better than being killed here.
After all...
That has nothing to do with Haruto.
--
As the golden swastika at the core gradually spread across Kitahara Kenshin's body, his Reiatsu and aura...
Her breath began to drop rapidly, and at this moment, it was becoming increasingly unrealistic to rush to Haruto and Bankai a fatal blow with her Bankai.
At last.
Only one jet-black sphere covered in golden patterns remained, floating in the air.
What about this time?
After waiting for a short while...
Until the surface of the jet-black "Poké Ball" completely lost its shine --
"Yes."
Haruto nodded in response to Ayaka's question.
"This..."
"It's not quite what I heard?"
Nanao emerged from behind and asked Haruto a question.
"Oh?"
Nanao could not have actually seen Bankin Taihō; she most likely heard about him from Old Master Ise... after all, he was once a master of the Kidō) of the Shinto family.
"Bankin Taihō?"
"Right."
Nanao nodded very seriously.
"Aside from the fixed steps for releasing Reiatsu, the manifestation and actual effects of this Kidō) will vary depending on the user."
Not only that.
The Bankin Taihō Haruto is using now is quite different from the one he used when fighting Hammerhead.
"Not only Bankin Taihō."
"The same applies to the Ninety-Nine's Five Dragon Destruction Hadō."
It's not exactly practical instruction, but given Haruto's current level of Kidō), even a few words of advice would be extremely valuable experience.
"After the Kidō reaches this level..."
"It all depends on how you perform."
"Similar to a self-created Kidō?"
A light shone in Nanao's eyes.
"Soul Reaper can use Number 99 shouldn't have much trouble creating one or two Kidō... I'm referring to the level of Hyōga Seiran."
"... I see."
Nanao nodded very solemnly.
Although he never stopped learning while in the Eighth Division, he would occasionally go home to have his uncle guide him in Kidō.
But to talk about progress...
Haruto's words were more effective than months of hard study.
"Alright."
"Since it's a mission..."
Haruto was just about to withdraw his supernatural powers and head home.
"Click."
"?"
A clearly visible crack appeared on the surface of the sphere formed by the Bankin Taihō.
"This is really..."
"Smack!!"
The deep, dark "Bankin" ball is shattered into pieces, like glass broken by a baseball.
"An unexpected delight."
"Huff, huff!"
Kitahara Kenshin took deep breaths of the humid air.
No...
It would be more accurate to say that he is diligently replenishing his Reiatsu.
Kitahara Kenshin's right hand still gripped his Zanpakuto "Beheading," while his left arm was wrapped in layers of something resembling vines or tentacles. Finally, a dazzling green blade of light extended from the opening in the armor that covered his entire hand.
"Eh~"
