On the battlefield where Kenpachi Zaraki was, he had absolutely no interest in the enemy opposite him who was sticking out two tongues in a W shape, but unfortunately, he couldn't slowly defeat this opponent.

Although Kenpachi Zaraki disliked listening to people ramble on, he did take in some of the information about the Quincy's abilities during the Quincy information-sharing meeting. And it was precisely this guy with the forked tongue who, when being talked about, Zaraki even made a sarcastic remark.

Therefore Kenpachi Zaraki had a deep impression of the circuitous nature of Huasuo's abilities. Looking back now, it's possible that Ukitake noticed Kenpachi Zaraki's excited state at the time and simply assigned Huasuo as his opponent.

The Saint Letters W, meandering and circuitous, can instinctively evade enemy attacks, such as bending the opponent's weapon.

However, this ability has a fatal weakness: if Huasuo's instincts fail to detect it, the attack can hit him.

So, after making a sarcastic remark about Ukitake, Kenpachi Zaraki quickly rushed towards Hakuso, and with his giant, already -Shikai, bone-chopping sword, Nodachi, he swung it down towards Hakuso's head.

However, Kenpachi Zaraki's commotion was too great. Whether it was his Shunpo Flash Step or the huge Zanpakuto he was wielding, it was all easily noticed by Huasuo.

Seeing Hua Su raise his head to look at his Zanpakuto, Nodachi, Kenpachi Zaraki changed the path of his sword and slashed at Hua Su's side, instantly shattering the ground and leaving a huge slash mark.

Facing Kenpachi Zaraki Kenpachi, Huasuo tilted his head in confusion, making an indistinct sound as he asked, "Are you afraid of me?"

Kenpachi Zaraki originally didn't want his Zanpakuto to be easily twisted by Huasuo, but Huasuo's words directly hit Kenpachi's sore spot. When has Kenpachi Zaraki ever been afraid of his enemies? Just because of that ridiculous piece of information?

With a flick of his wrist, Kenpachi Zaraki slashed at Huasuo. Huasuo stared directly at Kenpachi's Zanpakuto, activating his ability to deflect and twist, bending the massive Nodachi into a U-shape.

That wasn't all. Under the influence of Huasuo's power, Nodachi actually stabbed at Kenpachi Zaraki himself. Blood dripped from Zaraki's shoulder; he had been wounded by his own Zanpakuto.

"Cut!"

Kenpachi retreated a short distance, leaving Huasuo's side. Nodachi also returned to his original form, casually wiping his wound. Kenpachi then gripped his Zanpakuto with both hands and slashed down hard at Huasuo.

The overwhelming sword pressure—the spiritual pressure contained in just this one strike shattered the ground in front of Kenpachi into numerous fragments. It's true that Hanazono can bend solid objects, so let's destroy him with absolute spiritual pressure!

To Kenpachi's surprise, the moment he swung his sword, a huge hole appeared in the ground between him and Hua Suo. The ground was distorted by Hua Suo's ability, and Hua Suo was instantly moved away from Kenpachi's attack range.

While Huasuo was indeed unable to reverse Kenpachi's spiritual pressure, his instincts still detected Kenpachi's attack pattern, allowing him to prepare in advance.

Not only that, an arrow was also shot at Kenpachi at the same time. Sensing the strange purple color on the arrow, Kenpachi Zaraki, unusually, tried to dodge, but he was still a little too slow. The arrow, with its eerie color, struck Kenpachi's left arm.

A twisting force suddenly appeared, Kenpachi Zaraki's left arm was twisted into an irregular shape. The twisting force was about to spread to his body. A fierce glint flashed in Kenpachi Zaraki's eyes, and he severed the irregular left arm with a single slash.

With only one arm left, Kenpachi Zaraki looked at Huasuo seriously. This opponent was not as easy to deal with as the intelligence had suggested; it seemed that he would need to use even greater power to defeat him.

Kenpachi was actually a little unsure of himself. His fighting style relied heavily on his instincts, and his intuition told him that even Bankai might not be able to defeat his opponent within a limited time.

After his Bankai, Kenpachi Zaraki completely transforms into a beast that only knows how to fight. Thanks to the training he received from Tsuna and Yachiru, he can maintain his rationality for a very short time. Once he exceeds that time limit, he will completely lose control.

But on the battlefield, Kenpachi had no time to think things through. Just as he was about to unleash his Bankai, it started to rain.

Amidst the rain that empowered him with Yhwach's power, Vaso was forcibly activated into his Vollständig, and the bizarre, ribbon-like wings behind him gave off an extremely unsettling feeling.

The next moment, Kenpachi Zaraki felt the world spinning. After activating his Vollständig, his ability to maneuver and twist became even stronger. He directly used this maneuver to distort the surrounding space, turning this place into his own domain.

Immediately afterwards, Hua Su casually stretched out a hand to the side, and that hand suddenly appeared next to Kenpachi Zaraki.

Oh no!

Kenpachi Zaraki, who had just realized that Huasuo's attack was coming, had no time to react. Huasuo raised a finger, which carried a winding and twisting power. With a light stroke, he instantly severed Kenpachi's remaining arm as well.

Because the entire space was twisted by Hua Suo, everything around was like a twisted pretzel. In fact, part of the location where Kenpachi Zaraki twisted to Hua Suo's side.

That's why Hua Suo was able to easily reach out from a distance and launch a long-range sneak attack. Kenpachi's reaction was already quite fast, but he was ultimately outmaneuvered by Hua Suo's ability.

The arm holding the Zanpakuto had just fallen to the ground when Huasuo used his twisting ability to contort it in front of him.

Because of his unclear speech due to his two tongues, Huasuo mocked Kenpachi Zaraki, saying, "Bleach, you who can't use Zanpakuto are completely harmless."

Kenpachi Zaraki, who was facing Huasuo, remained silent for a long time, seemingly shocked by Huasuo's actions of severing both of his arms and taking his Zanpakuto.

Just as Hua Su was about to end Kenpachi Zaraki's life with a single arrow, Kenpachi suddenly burst into maniacal laughter. He was mocking himself, wondering when he had become so indecisive. Was it after Yachiru disappeared?

You must be very disappointed, Yachiru. Battles should be fun and enjoyable!

Kenpachi Zaraki closed his eyes, completely ignoring his surroundings, and used Flash Step purely on instinct. He randomly plunged in one direction, and the moment he opened his eyes, he appeared in front of Hua Suo.

Sure enough, it was you, Yachiru, who didn't know the way!

He casually shifted the blame for getting lost onto Yachiru, Kenpachi Zaraki, his spiritual pressure gathering above his head, slammed it into Hakuso's forehead.

With a thud, Huasuo was sent flying backward by Kenpachi's attack. His instincts failed him; Kenpachi Zaraki's attack was an action that transcended instinct.

"Who told you that you can't use a knife if you don't have hands!"

Hua Suo had just opened his eyes from the pain when he saw Kenpachi Zaraki raise the huge Nobi (a type of Nodachi) and kick it at him. "That guy Sawada Tsunayoshi, he calls it ' Leaving Rain,' right!"

Having sparred with Tsuna frequently, Kenpachi was already familiar with Tsuna's Shigure Soen Ryu stance, but he couldn't use it without the corresponding spiritual pressure. He could still easily kick the sword with his feet.

Hua Suo's eyes widened. Although he had clearly seen the attack, his instincts failed him. If he couldn't stop Nodachi's thrust, he would most likely die on the spot.

In this life-threatening moment, Hua Suo subconsciously activated the Pernida nerves within his body, forcibly evolving and strengthening his abilities. Hua Suo raised a single finger and pinned Nodachi down in front of him.

"You were so close to killing me!" Huasuo tilted his head, revealing a face contorted with rage. "Bleach's power is bound to his Zanpakuto. Once you destroy it, you'll be completely powerless!"

Huasuo realized that although Kenpachi could use his spiritual pressure to strike him, the power that could truly injure him was ultimately his Zanpakuto.

Hua Suo didn't wait for Kenpachi's reply at all. He turned to the side and slashed at Nodachi with one finger. Nodachi was cut in half and fell to the ground in his tattered Asauchi form.

"It's over!" Seeing the change in Nodachi, Huasuo tilted his head and announced to Kenpachi Zaraki.

With both hands Zanpakuto destroyed, Kenpachi Zaraki not skilled in Hakuda or Kido, under normal circumstances, any other Bleach would be facing a dead end. So, there's nothing wrong with Huasuo's declaration.

Hua Suo raised his hand, and the Spirit Bow appeared in his hand. Just as he was about to kill Kenpachi Zaraki with an arrow, he heard Kenpachi suddenly speak.

"Let's do it, Yachiru."

With a soft thud, a blade pierced through Hua Suo's chest. It was another attack he hadn't noticed due to instinct. Judging from the chipped blade tip, it was the one he had destroyed— Kenpachi Zaraki's Zanpakuto.

After piercing through Huasuo's body, the tip of the blade did not linger on Huasuo; instead, the severed half of the blade flew back to Kenpachi Zaraki.

The broken blade reconnected, hovering only half a meter above the ground, like a child holding a sword hilt. Kenpachi Zaraki didn't look at his own Zanpakuto, but rather at Huasuo, who had been stabbed.

Huasuo did not die; numerous nerve lines emerged from his body, which gradually became distorted.

Because of the circuitous route, Hua Suo had never practiced the ability of the Blut Vene. If he hadn't activated Pernida's evolutionary power beforehand, he probably would have been killed by that last strike.

Because his life was hanging by a thread, Hua Suo, who had fully entered an evolved state, no longer resembled a human. His entire body was twisted, like five pieces of seaweed pieced together.

Only a sliver of consciousness remained; the twisted Huaso could only mutter, "Kill you... I'll kill you..."

The surrounding environment became even more distorted and chaotic, Kenpachi Zaraki feel an indescribable sense of nausea.

"It seems you're capable of handling this guy. Let's attack together, Yachiru."

Kenpachi Zaraki bent down, and despite having lost both hands, he acted as if he still had arms, gripping the hilt of his Zanpakuto with one hand while rubbing the air beside him with the other.
