Hey, Little One, Let Big Brother Play with You / Kenpachi Zaraki's Limits

It's like a teenager getting a max-level account with god-tier gear while playing a game. He can take down anyone with a single hit, but after a while, he gets bored.

Then a player with an equally top-tier account appeared. Although their skill level wasn't as high as his, the opponent's combo actually caused him to lose health—something that had never happened before! This was unacceptable!

Therefore, the young Kenpachi fought with all his might against his opponent.

As the game progressed, it became clear that the opponent couldn't beat it, but what if it wasn't over yet?

Then I can only... only lower my skill level!

"Clang!!!"

The blades clashed again, Unohana's snow-white hands were now stained red with blood, her breathing gradually becoming erratic.

But when the two swords clashed this time, she discovered that the boy's power seemed to have weakened, suppressed to the same level as hers!

"What's going on? Is he running out of stamina?" Unohana gasped for breath, feeling a sharp pain in her throat from the intense battle.

After adjusting his strength, the young Kenpachi pounced again.

Unohana was surprised to find that her opponent wasn't lacking stamina, but rather that her strength had genuinely weakened, allowing her to maintain the same level as herself.

Once the young Kenpachi suppressed his power, he could no longer gain the upper hand in terms of technique. The balance of power shifted instantly, Unohana had finally gained the right to attack, unleashed a barrage of sword strikes like a whirlwind. The young Kenpachi was constantly getting injured, but the more he was injured, the happier he became, as if he wasn't the one who was hurt at all.

You slash me with your knife, I'll retaliate with my sword.

The two exchanged blows, each inflicting injury on the other, and exchanged more than ten sword strikes in an instant.

Young Kenpachi is like a perpetual motion machine; he will never fall before his enemy. However, Unohana's physical abilities are far inferior to those of young Kenpachi. Her blade is covered in nicks, and her hands are in so much pain that she can barely feel them!

"Clang!!!"

As the two swords clashed for the last time, Unohana's Zanpakuto finally couldn't withstand the pressure from the two of them and broke in half. The blade flew out in reverse, grazing past Yamabuki Chidori's ear and embedding itself in the large tree behind her.

A maniacal smile appeared on the young Kenpachi's face as he thrust his sword toward Unohana's chest.

The three shields from the Shinigami Uniform were gone. Unohana tried her best to block with her dual swords, but the young Kenpachi's sword speed was too fast, and she simply didn't have time to parry.

The outcome is decided!

Just as the young Kenpachi was about to savor the fruits of victory, his sword was suddenly gripped by a tremendous force. The tip of the sword was less than half an inch away from Unohana's chest, but no matter how hard he tried, the sword could not move forward even an inch.

Young Kenpachi saw that a hand had gripped his sword, and the sword in his hand was as if it were cast in steel, unable to move at all.

Unohana's breathing was disordered, she had more than a dozen sword wounds on her body, and her hands were already stained with blood. She staggered back two steps!

The one who held this sword was none other than her husband, Yamabuki Chidori.

"Go treat your wounds first, leave the rest to me!" said Yamabuki Chidori.

Unohana jumped back a step and began bandaging her wounds.

Young Kenpachi looked at the man who had suddenly appeared before him.

This person gave me a completely different feeling from the woman I had just met. Unohana was like a suppressed demon, while this man in front of me was like Hell. They were worlds apart!

Excitement! Unparalleled happiness!

Young Kenpachi smiled like a child!

I was so lucky today, I actually got to meet two opponents!

Young Kenpachi tried to pull his sword back, but no matter how hard he tried with one hand, he couldn't pull it back. Yamabuki Chidori simply reached out and gently gripped the blade, a faint smile on her face.

Young Kenpachi realized that his strength with one arm was no match for his opponent's, so he quickly placed his other hand on the hilt of the sword and used all his strength to pull the sword back!

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Yamabuki Chidori suddenly let go. The young Kenpachi was unable to control the force and was dragged back more than ten steps by his own strength, landing on his backside.

The young Kenpachi's gaze towards the man before him had changed, as if someone who hadn't eaten for ten days and nights had suddenly encountered a feast.

His killing intent and fighting spirit erupted with a visible force, causing the space around him to distort slightly.

The next second, the young Kenpachi vanished from his spot.

Unohana was tending to her wounds, was shocked. This boy was stronger than when she fought him, and his speed was even beyond her perception!

In an instant, the young Kenpachi appeared to the left of Yamabuki Chidori, his sword sweeping across the sky and earth, slashing down on Yamabuki Chidori's neck with the force of Electrocution.

"Lieutenant!!!"

"Chief Strategist, be careful!!!"

This slash was faster than a summer thunderbolt, splitting the air itself, and arrived at Yamabuki Chidori's neck in an instant.

Suddenly, Yamabuki Chidori extended her right hand, pressed her middle finger against her thumb, and flicked her fingernail directly at the young Kenpachi's sword.

The members of the 11th Division were so scared they almost closed their eyes!

They knew the Lieutenant was very strong, but wasn't this incredibly arrogant? Using his fingers to block an enemy's knife?

How is that even possible?

Moreover, the enemy is no weakling either; they are top-tier experts who defeated the Captain!

"Bite!"

Yamabuki Chidori flicked her middle finger onto the young Kenpachi's sword!

Young Kenpachi felt an overwhelming force coming from his right wrist, and the sword in his hand rebounded even faster than when he was bargaining, instantly slipping out of his grasp. The cracked sword flew out of his hand and became embedded in the tree behind him!

The young Kenpachi remained in his sword-wielding stance, and for the first time, a spark of curiosity appeared in his fierce and indifferent eyes. He didn't understand what had just happened!

Apart from the cold wind blowing past my ears, there was only deathly silence.

Unohana couldn't believe what she was seeing.

More than seventy years ago, the Wandenreich invaded, Yamabuki Chidori desperately improved her strength in order to survive that great war.

Ultimately, he reached the level of Captain Commander and Yhwach.

According to Yamabuki Chidori himself, when the three powers are combined, even Yhwach, who possesses All-Knowing All-Powerful, or the Captain Commander has activated Bankai, might not be his match.

Unohana still retains the impression of her husband's abilities from seventy years ago.

However, during these seventy years, Yamabuki Chidori never relaxed for a moment and kept honing his strength. Moreover, his physique was special, and even if he lay down and slept without doing anything, his Reiatsu would increase at all times.

Seventy years.

Unohana simply cannot fathom the level of her husband's power!

Chapter Thirty-Four: Little one, let big brother play with you.

Similarly, Kenpachi, whose sword was knocked away in one move, couldn't understand what kind of power it was, and he even stood there dumbfounded.

"Go and retrieve the sword! Let's continue!" Yamabuki Chidori said casually, as if continuing with something trivial.

Upon hearing Yamabuki Chidori's voice, the young Kenpachi snapped back to reality, quickly took two steps back, grabbed the sword nailed to the tree, and stared at Yamabuki Chidori with terrified eyes.

To this day, the worldview of the young Kenpachi has been completely refreshed. Before, he was just playing against easy AI opponents and casually slaughtering them.

When I encountered Unohana, the game difficulty suddenly increased to that of a Challenger match. After playing for a long time, I finally won, but then I ran into the world's number one player.

But he's a stubborn person who doesn't believe in superstitions, and most importantly, he's not smart enough to believe it!

What if you can't win by hacking? Then hack away until you're dead! Hack until you break both your arms and legs, until one of you is dead!

The Reiatsu emanating from the young Kenpachi was rapidly increasing, already surpassing that of Unohana, who was directly fighting him.

Yamabuki Chidori slowly unbuttoned her clothes, took off her Shinigami Uniform, and casually threw it on the ground. If it got damaged, she would have to ask Shutara Senjumaru fix it.

Taking advantage of the man taking off his clothes, the young Kenpachi slashed at him without hesitation.

A powerful Reiatsu swept over, Yamabuki Chidori gripped the hilt of her Zanpakuto, suddenly drawing it. The two swords clashed, and the young Kenpachi's Reiatsu was instantly shattered. He was like a shooting star falling from the sky, crashing into the dense forest, tumbling and crawling, covered in snow.

A true powerhouse! This is the real powerhouse! Young Kenpachi was ecstatic; this was the opponent he had been searching for!

At this moment, the young Kenpachi was like a beast that had lost its mind. He knew that charging forward would surely lead to his death, but he did not retreat even half a step. He charged forward desperately with his sword in hand!

Many people say that in the face of absolute power, any skill is useless.

But if we interpret this statement the other way around, when one's strength is equal to or inferior to that of the opponent, skill becomes the key to victory.

Unohana's eyesight was sharp enough to see every flaw in the young Kenpachi's body, but her movements couldn't keep up with her eyesight. Faced with the storm-like attacks, Unohana could only passively defend, watching helplessly as these flaws flashed past her.

Yamabuki Chidori, however, is different.

His swordsmanship was equally unparalleled, and his strength could absolutely overwhelm the young Kenpachi. Therefore, at this moment, every flaw in the young Kenpachi was fatal.

In a battle between masters, life and death hang in the balance.

If someone discovers your weakness, the outcome could be decided in a single move.

At this moment, Kenpachi had no concept of this at all; he just kept slashing and hacking!

Yamabuki Chidori did not launch an attack. Faced with the young Kenpachi's frenzied attacks, he simply used his Zanpakuto to gently deflect them.

That sword strike was executed with effortless ease, as if it were something trivial.

Just as the young Kenpachi was about to attack, he suddenly lost his balance. Looking down, he saw that Yamabuki Chidori had somehow stretched out her foot and hooked the young Kenpachi down.

"Full of flaws!" Yamabuki Chidori smiled faintly, "Stand up and continue! By the way, your strength in wielding a sword with one hand is no match for mine. How about trying to wield the sword with both hands?"

The young Kenpachi was taken aback, hesitated for a moment, and then gripped the hilt of his sword with both hands.

Yamabuki Chidori smiled slightly. As his strength continued to improve, he finally understood why the Old Man had taught him to use a two-handed sword back then.

The speed and explosive power of a two-handed sword are far superior to that of a one-handed sword. If the two hands are coordinated well, they can unleash three to four times the power of a one-handed sword in an instant!

Young Kenpachi had never considered these things before. At this moment, it was as if he had discovered a new world. So this is how you can play with a sword?

Young Kenpachi stomped his feet on the ground, gripped his sword with both hands, and charged forward like a wounded tiger, while Yamabuki Chidori simply swung her sword lightly.

Even though the young Kenpachi used both hands, their Reiatsu and power were still not on the same level.

With a casual wave, the young Kenpachi, who was charging at full speed, was sent flying. He tumbled and crawled on the ground, but as soon as his feet touched the ground, Kenpachi pounced again like a maddened beast.

At the same time, he had a happy smile on his face.

Front, back, left, right, up, down!

Young Kenpachi launched attacks from various directions, but no matter how tricky the attack was, it was easily neutralized by his opponent.

"If you're not as strong as your opponent, then get stronger! Get even stronger!" Young Kenpachi was a born warrior, but unfortunately, he ruined his character in the original timeline and only regained his original strength when the final Blood War began.

In order to enjoy the thrill of battle, Kenpachi Zaraki has always suppressed his strength. The same was true in his first battle with Unohana. When he realized that Unohana was not as strong as him, in order to better enjoy the battle, he directly suppressed his strength to the same level as Unohana.

There are also many battles in the main storyline, such as when Kenpachi encounters Ichigo who Shikai. At that time, the two sides were vastly different in strength, and Kenpachi could have ended the battle in one round if he had wanted to.

No way! I'm going to play this game! I'm going to suppress my strength to just one point above Kurosaki Ichigo, and then wait to be killed by him!

And then there's the Fiftieth Espada, Nnoitra.

If he had gone all out, Kenpachi Zaraki at that time could have easily killed Nnoitra. Sigh, I was just playing around!

It wasn't until Nnoitra accidentally knocked off Kenpaku's blindfold that Kenpaku was forced to unleash a portion of his power.

Finally, facing Nnoitra in her Resurrección form, he simply removed his blindfold and used his two-handed sword to instantly kill her.

So until the Thousand-Year Blood War, his strength was only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary Captain, not too outrageous.

However, this physique has another advantage: when encountering an exceptionally powerful enemy, Kenpachi will increase his own power according to the enemy's strength until that power reaches the limit he can withstand.

At this moment, the young Kenpachi pounced from all directions like a mad dog. The blade of the sword in his hand was full of cracks, and now, as he clashed head-on with Yamabuki, the Zanpakuto in his hand was full of cracks, as if it would shatter with the slightest touch!

Yamabuki Chidori was also secretly surprised. Was this kid limitless? His combat power was increasing at an alarming rate!

Compared to when he first started, young Kenpachi's strength has more than doubled!

And it's constantly improving!

No wonder Aizen designed this to Kenpachi Zaraki in Hueco Mundo during the Arrancar arc.

I want to see where your limits are!

No matter how frantically the young Kenpachi attacked, Yamabuki Chidori stood rooted to the spot, one hand in her pocket, the other casually deflecting attacks. The young Kenpachi simply couldn't get through!

Just as he pushed his strength to its limit, an unexpected event occurred: his sword-wielding arm broke due to the immense force it could not withstand!

Chapter 35: Kenpachi Zaraki's Limit

No one's strength can be increased indefinitely.

Let alone Kenpachi in his youth, even Soul King or Yhwach have their limits.

Therefore, a famous the Vampire once said that there are limits to humanity, unless one chooses not to be human.
