However, although Black Rope Heavenly Condemnation Myriad King was far larger than Zaraki, Captain of the Seventh Division Sajin Komamura was the one being suppressed in their battle.
With every clash of their Zanpakuto, the overwhelming force made Komamura's arm tremble as he gripped his blade, forcing his body back step by step from the impact of the colliding swords.
The ground beneath Komamura himself was unaffected.
But every time the massive Black Rope Heavenly Condemnation Myriad King took a step back, it stomped several huge pits into the ground.
On the side of the battlefield, Captain Kaname Tōsen played a supporting, restraining role.
Whenever Zaraki drove Komamura back, Tōsen would attack Zaraki to keep him from pursuing Komamura.
Judging from the strength Komamura had displayed so far, his attack power alone was not weak among the captains.
But Black Rope Heavenly Condemnation Myriad King was simply far too slow compared to Zaraki.
Without Captain Tōsen holding him back from the side, Zaraki would likely need only a few breaths to close in on Komamura and defeat him.
Yet even with Tōsen restraining him, Zaraki had no intention of bypassing Black Rope Heavenly Condemnation Myriad King. Still, every clash of their Zanpakuto inflicted a measure of damage upon Komamura.
At this moment, the webbing between Komamura's thumbs had already split open, and large drops of blood dripped from where his hands gripped his Zanpakuto's hilt.
"As expected, Zaraki truly deserves to be called someone capable of challenging Captain Ailin..."
"I've already used every ounce of my strength, yet I can't even force Captain Zaraki to release his Zanpakuto..."
Beneath the enormous cloak, Komamura gritted his teeth.
Though the gap in their strength was immense, as someone discovered and taught by Captain-Commander Yamamoto, it was his duty to help Captain-Commander Yamamoto
