"Hmm?!"
Kenpachi Zaraki's gaze fell upon the figure ahead holding a sword. The massive "Nine" emblazoned on the fluttering Captain's Haori was especially conspicuous.
"HAHAHAHA!!"
His wild laughter intensified. Kenpachi Zaraki swung his serrated Zanpakuto and pointed it straight ahead, grinning like a demon, his expression brimming with savage intent.
"I finally found you, Captain of the Ninth Division!"
"Come on, let's have a thoroughly satisfying fight to the death!"
Buzz—
An even more violent surge of spiritual pressure erupted in an instant, blanketing the entire First Division. The tangible pressure forced the floor to sink, cracks splitting open layer by layer, while the already overburdened dojo let out continuous creaks of anguish.
"Captain Zaraki, you have overstepped your bounds!"
Before Su Feng could reply, Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto stepped forward, unleashing endless pressure.
"Private duels between captains are forbidden!"
His cold gaze fixed upon Kenpachi Zaraki, yet the temperature within the dojo continued to rise. A scorching smell filled the air, as if a suppressed volcano were about to erupt.
"Haha, old man, don't get angry!"
A cheerful voice came from the corridor outside the dojo. A figure even smaller than Soi Fon ran back and forth as though chasing something.
Yachiru Kusajishi rode a scooter at breakneck speed, finally picking up a round pebble that glimmered with crystalline light from the floor.
"Hehe, got you!"
After happily stuffing the pebble into her clothes, she scooted into the dojo. "A-Jian was just meeting you for the first time..."
"Mm, what's your name?"
"Tsunayashiro Su Feng."
"Very good. From now on, I'll call you Big Wind!"
With an innocent look, Yachiru Kusajishi smilingly bestowed a nickname upon Su Feng. Then she tilted her head back toward Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto beside her and explained:
"A-Jian is just too excited."
