"Buzzzzz..."
Seeing that the attacks of more than thirty Zanpakuto could not stop Zaraki's advance, Ailin willed it, and in an instant, Golden spatial ripples appeared in the air, dyeing the sky behind him gold.
Their number had already surpassed one hundred.
Zaraki was far stronger than some Captains even after Bankai. A mere dozen or so Captain-level Zanpakuto posed no threat to him.
