The Power of the Six Gates

Watching the cracks in the Mask on 'Renji Abarai's' face heal at high speed, along with his arrogant expression.

"Is that so..."

Kira Izuru's expression remained unchanged as he transformed his fist into a finger.

"Finger Pistol: Rush!"

Blue-green life energy and Spiritual Pressure condensed, combined with the explosive power of his physical body, detonating right in front of Kira Izuru.

"Bang!"

Like a shot from a high-explosive armor-piercing sniper rifle, the spiral-shaped energy burst forth once more, right before the astonished eyes of 'Renji Abarai'.

"Hm?!"

Kira Izuru frowned and tilted his head slightly.

A sharp whistling sound
