One Against Four, Tsuna's Shock

A flash of light, and all the Soul King's Blade surrounding Aizen were reduced to fragments.

Immediately following was a beam of light the size of a millstone that pierced through the head of the Soul King's Shield. Under the impact of the enhanced Byakurai, the Soul King's Shield followed in the footsteps of the other support characters.

The tip of his Zanpakuto was pointed directly at Ōetsu Nimaiya. In just this one exchange, Aizen had already realized that Ōetsu Nimaiya was the leader among the four.

"You think you can take me down with these pieces of trash?" Aizen's eyes narrowed, and an immense spiritual pressure slammed down on the four members of the Zero Squad like a tsunami. "You really underestimate me as a challenger, don't you?"

"I didn't mean to look down on you; they're just using you to buy time." Ōetsu Nimaiya, who wasn't particularly tall to begin with, raised his head, his presence twice the size of his frame. "I will definitely treat you with the utmost seriousness!"

Two men in black appeared beside Ōetsu Nimaiya; they were the Soul King's Blade. They brought over a square box filled with liquid, and a Zanpakuto was suspended in the liquid.

As Ōetsu Nimaiya drew his Zanpakuto, he shouted excitedly, as if a beam of light shone on him, making him seem like the most dazzling person on the stage.

"I am the creator of the first Zanpakuto, nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, five, then four, three, and I am Ōetsu Nimaiya!"

"Those who provoke the Soul King Palace will have nowhere to escape. Next up is the battle for the Zero Squad!"

Ōetsu Nimaiya also pointed his Zanpakuto at Aizen, but his action caused the Zanpakuto to tremble slightly.

Is it a mismatch between the blade and the handle?

This subtle change did not escape Aizen's notice, but he quickly dismissed his own idea. How could the creator of Zanpakuto make such a basic mistake?

That knife is strange! Whether it's the way it's preserved in liquid or the trembling of its blade.

Before Aizen could think further, Ōetsu Nimaiya appeared before him in the next moment. Clearly, Ōetsu Nimaiya's Flash Step also had its own unique techniques, and its speed was only slightly inferior to the golden light from Kirinj.

However, Ōetsu Nimaiya, who appeared in front of Aizen, did not use any fierce Zanjutsu. Instead, he lazily and casually swung a horizontal slash at Aizen.

Compared to his Flash Step technique, Ōetsu Nimaiya's strike was far too crude; Aizen could parry it without expending any effort.

Aizen's pupils suddenly dilated. His Zanpakuto blocked Ōetsu Nimaiya's attack path, but not completely. Silently, Ōetsu Nimaiya Zanpakuto in two with a single strike.

A special Zanjutsu? No, it's the sword that's the problem!

Just as Aizen realized the problem, a golden light struck again. It was Kirinj, who followed closely behind Ōetsu Nimaiya and launched a fierce attack on Aizen the moment Ōetsu Nimaiya severed Aizen's Zanpakuto.

"I haven't introduced myself yet. First Officer, Eastern Divine General, Hot Spring Demon, Kirinjī Tenshirō!"

As Kirinj introduced himself, his attacks became even more ferocious. For a moment, Aizen, who only had half Zanpakuto, could only retreat and parry. If he were to counterattack, Aizen's broken sword would not be able to gain any advantage over Kirinj's long sword.

"The fourth official, the Northern General, the Great Weaver, Shutara Senjumaru."

Senjumaru's clear, cold, and beautiful voice rang out behind Aizen. One of her golden arms was holding a long needle and thrusting it at Aizen; it was her Zanpakuto, Ciru.

Senjumaru's attacks didn't seem to be aimed directly at Aizen; each time her long needles were about to pierce Aizen, Aizen would dodge them with his agility.

Aizen, surrounded by two members of the Zero Squad, didn't look too good, even a little disheveled, while Ōetsu Nimaiya, who had caused all this, had a smile on his face.

As the forger of the Zanpakuto, Ōetsu Nimaiya knew very well that most of the Bleach's fighting power lay in their Zanpakuto. Therefore, he chose to break Aizen's Zanpakuto right from the start, directly crippling most of Aizen's fighting power.

Then Kirinj and Senjumaru attacked together. Kirinj used his speed to overwhelm Aizen, while Senjumaru attacked by seizing every opportunity.

Seeing Aizen's somewhat flustered appearance, Ōetsu Nimaiya proudly introduced, "This Sayafushi is a failure."

"It's too sharp, and the blade is too flexible. No matter how you cut it, it won't chip. This would put the sharpeners out of their jobs. Most importantly, there's no way to make a scabbard to hold it. It's not even a sword. That's why I didn't give it to Seireitei."

"Aizen, right? Thanks to you for provoking the Soul King Palace, he had the chance to make an appearance. I thank you for that!"

Ōetsu Nimaiya's words, half-introduction and half-sarcasm, answered Aizen's doubts. Coupled with his newfound familiarity with the other two's offensive rhythm, he prepared to counterattack.

Just then, Aizen suddenly felt a lightness on his body, as if something had been removed from him.

At the same time, Kirinj's offensive pace quickened again, and he stabbed Aizen in the shoulder.

It's not surprising that he couldn't defend against it; Aizen still only has a broken sword in his hand. But Kirinj's stab seemed too easy; his body's defenses shouldn't be that simple.

Aizen reached up to touch his body, only to hear Kirinj sneer, "Realized now? Too late!"

Kirinj turned and twisted, using himself as the core to fling Aizen high into the air behind him.

The instant Aizen was attacked by Kirinj, he realized what he was missing: the King Key, the King Key that had always been covered by transparent armor on the outermost layer, had disappeared.

That's why Kirinj was able to injure Aizen so easily. Otherwise, given Aizen's reaction speed, he could have easily launched a counterattack against Kirinj by sacrificing a portion of the Royal Key.

It was Ōetsu Nimaiya who severed the sword. Unbeknownst to many, only one person remained who had broken the King's Key: Shutara Senjumaru, known as the Great Weaver!

It seems that Oori-no-Mori is not only proficient in making Shinigami Uniform, but also has great skill in removing armor.

It doesn't matter. The King Key is gone, so be it. Aizen's confidence has never come from the King Key. His true strength lies in the power he gains after fusing with Aizen Hogyoku.

Aizen, who had just been thrown out by Kirinj, hadn't even had time to regain his balance when he found himself crashing into a thick tree trunk. Looking around, he realized he was trapped inside a cage made of trees.

"Second officer, Southern Divine General, King of the Valley, Yachiru Unohana."

Although it was supposed to be an introduction, Yachiru Unohana's tone wasn't very pleasant. She stood in front of the cage, looking at the guy who had bullied her cute Vice-Captain, raised her hand, and clenched it tightly.

This is a technique called "Postpartum," and the cage made of trees was created by Yachiru Unohana using his own spiritual pressure.

Under Yachiru Unohana's control, the villa-sized cage rapidly shrank to the size of a room, and the shrinking speed had not stopped. Yachiru Unohana was preparing to firmly crush Aizen within the cage.

This was planned from the beginning. The members of the Zero Squad tacitly handed over Aizen's execution to the enraged Yachiru Unohana. Their lives were already intertwined, and they didn't need to express themselves with words; a single glance was enough for them to cooperate perfectly.

Just as Yachiru Unohana's attack was about to succeed, the tightening cage suddenly stopped, and not only stopped, it even began to expand in the opposite direction!

Yachiru Unohana's hands were trembling; they were about to fully open, and if this continued, the cage would burst.

Yachiru Unohana immediately raised his other hand to his mouth, pursed his lips, and blew. Dozens of seeds flew out from his palm, quickly expanding into thick branches that covered the cage, barely stopping it from breaking.

Only then did Yachiru Unohana have time to see what was happening inside the cage, which had swelled to the size of a football field and was just a hair's breadth away from completely shattering.

Inside the cage, a gigantic, dark blue giant stood tall, with four arms. Two of them supported the cage, while the other two slowly drew out two enormous katana swords.

No one present, not even a member of the Zero Squad, doubted the power of those two giant blades; Yachiru Unohana confinement could not possibly withstand the giant's slash.

Not only were the members of the Zero Squad astonished by the towering giant, but a group of onlookers far underground in the Seireitei, in front of the Seireitei Central Underground Prison, were also making unrestrained noises of surprise.

"What a joke? Aizen can summon such a terrifying giant?" Muguruma Kensei silently calculated in his mind how many blows the giant would need to take to kill him.

"I wonder if Suzumebachi Raikōben will work..." For the first time, Soi Fon wasn't so disgusted with her Bankai. Being big has its advantages; at least when facing such a large enemy, she didn't look like an ant.

"Interesting, this thing must be really fun to chop up!"

Kenpachi Zaraki laughed heartily, wishing he could switch places with the members of the Zero Squad right now. Not only Kenpachi Zaraki, but Unohana Retsu's eyes also became more spirited after seeing the giant draw his sword.

Unlike the tense situation at the Soul King Palace, the people hiding underground were able to openly discuss their opinions, and Urahara Kisuke, as the mastermind, immediately discovered the source of Aizen's power.

"Hey, Tsuna, isn't this the move you used before?" Urahara asked, turning around. He could never forget the battle between Tsuna and Aizen at the Soul King Palace.

Urahara Kisuke's words instantly calmed the heated atmosphere, and all eyes turned to Tsuna.

Tsuna's eyes were also filled with shock. He was not surprised that Aizen had copied his moves, but that the scene of the battle seemed somewhat familiar.

"Holy crap, Hashirama Senju is fighting Uchiha Madara!"

Indeed! The external manifestation of Yachiru Unohana is the form of a tree, coupled with the Aizen Susanoo.

If it weren't for the group of captains and friends around him, Tsuna might have thought he had traveled back in time again.

"Who are Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara?" Urahara Kisuke sensed the question in Tsuna's words.

"Huh? Oh, that's a manga character I came up with. The battle on this screen gave me some new inspiration..." Tsuna pointed at the screen and gave a rather perfunctory explanation.

"Really? Tsuna, remember to tell me about your new inspiration when you get back!"

Upon hearing that it was a manga, everyone lost interest and refocused their attention on the battle between Aizen and the Zero Squad, except for Tatsuki, who came over.

Urahara Kisuke Tsuna a deep look, but said nothing. He knew far more information than the others; perhaps Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara were from another world...

Tsuna was still quietly explaining the structure of the new manga to Tatsuki. To put it simply, Tatsuki is now a well-known manga artist, and many of her short manga have already become popular.

These comics are all stories that Tsuna in his spare time, and Tatsuki then turned them into comics Tatsuki published them. The two of them no longer use the family's money, and all their expenses are earned from comics.

It was this incident that made Tsuna decide on his future job. After the Yhwach incident subsided, he would become a plagiarist, writing books and Tatsuki drawing comics.

This is where the benefits of Fullbring become apparent. Tsuna and Tatsuki can directly control the pen to write and draw on the paper. As long as they have enough energy, they can even use multiple pens simultaneously without worrying about tendonitis. But that's a story for another time.
