At this moment, they had not realized anything was wrong.
Gerard forcefully withstood Byakuya Kuchiki's Bankai Senbonzakura and appeared before him.
With a single swing of his sword, he sent Byakuya Kuchiki staggering backward.
"Something's wrong. It's not just his size that has increased, but his strength too. There's something strange going on here. Everyone, be careful."
He Got Bigger Again
Tōshirō Hitsugaya had yet to realize the severity of the situation and asked, "Wouldn't a bigger enemy make him easier for us to fight?"
Shunsui Kyōraku narrowed his eyes. With his greater experience, he had already vaguely sensed that something was amiss.
The three of them joined forces and attacked Gerard again, instantly blasting his body away.
Byakuya Kuchiki said calmly, "I used my full strength in that attack. He should be dead by now."
Byakuya Kuchiki's words were not without reason. Taking the Bankai of both Byakuya Kuchiki and Tōshirō Hitsugaya head-on with his face and surviving would be absurd. Byakuya Kuchiki had great confidence in his own abilities.
Gerard lay amid the ruins, seemingly no longer breathing. Shunsui Kyōraku had not expected a member of the Sternritter to be defeated so easily. It felt unreal.
Just as everyone lowered their guard, a huge foot suddenly appeared!
That foot was larger than a person. Byakuya Kuchiki's eyes widened slightly in shock. Looking up, he saw Gerard laughing. He had never imagined that Gerard could grow this large.
"Your attacks are pathetic! They're nothing but scratches!" Gerard taunted loudly.
One of the ice flowers behind Tōshirō Hitsugaya shattered as he prepared to unleash his completed Bankai.
Shunsui Kyōraku had originally intended to use his own Bankai as well, but since it was unsuitable for group combat, he could only abandon the idea for now.
It was not only Gerard's
