As early as when I first started writing this book, the author had already planned to write the Sōya Azashiro chapter. I think this is also a very unique chapter. (Chapter 19 Yoriichi feels the peeping when he first enters Soul Society.)
When I was writing this article, every time I finished a chapter, I found that there were some extra things that didn't match up with the previous ones (つд⊂), so I had to revise it again. As I wrote this, I found that the original plot had been changed to pieces.
I finally gave up and that was it.
The author's writing power is limited and he did not fully present all the plots in his mind.
Because this chapter is originally the protagonist of Kenpachi, and there really isn't much space to arrange Yoriichi's role.
I apologize to all readers here!!! orz
Seireitei, Marechiyo Ōmaeda mansion.
Sōya Azashiro fell from mid-air and hit the courtyard heavily.
His white Restraining Suit has been dyed red with blood, and there is a deep knife wound on his chest that can be seen in the bone. What is even more troublesome is the backlash caused by Ittō Kasō. The Heat Reiatsu is still colliding in the body, constantly burning his Spirit Veins.
"Who?"
Marechiyo Ōmaeda Kiyo hurried over, and after seeing the person clearly, his expression suddenly changed.
"Sōya Azashiro?"
"Treat me."
Azashiro raised his head, his voice still calm.
Hiyo stared at him for a moment, then finally knelt down and put his hands on the wound.
Light Green Kaido light lights up.
"I can only stop the bleeding temporarily."
"That's enough."
Azashiro Close your eyes.
He reviewed the battle just now in his mind.
Garganta, firearms, metal debris, and Kidō which is activated instantly through fusion. These means were enough to kill most of the captains, but did not really stop Zaraki.
It's not that Urozakuro is not strong enough.
But his fighting style is wrong.
He integrated himself into all things and gained almost ubiquitous power. But the more he relied on external objects, the weaker his own sword became.
Zaraki is different.
That man had no complex abilities or precise calculations. He just stood there, holding the knife, and chopped everything in front of him into pieces.
Reishi cannot invade his body.
Kidō Can't let him fall.
Even the battlefield created by Urozakuro will be forcibly destroyed by him with one knife.
Azashiro used to think that the so-called Kenpachi was just a title inherited from generation to generation by 11th Division Captain.
As long as you defeat the previous generation, you can get this name.
Now he understands that he has never really become Kenpachi.
When he defeated Kuruyashiki, he relied on the ubiquitous fusion ability of Urozakuro. Over the next few hundred years, he brought Seireitei, World of the Living, and Garganta's Reishi under his control.
He has more and more things.
The knife in his hand became lighter and lighter.
"What are you laughing at?"
Hiyo asked suddenly.
Azashiro Open your eyes.
He didn't even notice it, but there was a smile on his lips.
"Please tell Kichiyochiyo that I will go to Sōkyoku at noon two days later."
"What do you want to do?"
"Ask him to inform Gotei 13 and call Zaraki back."
Azashiro stood up slowly, blood oozing out from the wound on his chest again.
"I want to complete a real Kenpachi duel with him."
World of the Living.
When Yoriichi received the message, Kannonji was repairing the roof of the warehouse.
Strictly speaking, it can no longer be called repair.
He just held a piece of wood and stared at the huge gap in the roof, deep in thought.
"I think this place can be saved."
Yoriichi looked up.
"It's faster to rebuild."
Kannonji was silent.
Because Yoriichi is right.
Luo Jia stood aside, holding Kannonji's newly bought cloak in her hands. After two days of training, the cracks in the mask on her face have recovered, and Reiatsu has gradually stabilized.
Yoriichi looked at her.
"I'm going back to Soul Society."
Luo Jia grabbed the cloak and asked softly, "Where is Sōya Azashiro?"
"He won't come to you again."
Yoriichi paused for a moment and continued, "In the future, you don't need to wait for other people's instructions. You can decide where to go and what you want to do."
Luo Jia lowered his head.
After a few breaths, she nodded slightly.
"I will live a good life."
"Hmm."
Yoriichi turned and walked towards Senkaimon.
Kannonji immediately put down the board and crossed his arms in front of his chest.
"Don't worry, Miss Luo Jia will be taken care of by this star!"
"Sorry to trouble you."
"BOHAHA!"
Zaraki walked out of the warehouse carrying Zanpakuto, the unhappiness on his face wiped away.
"That bastard finally decided to keep fighting."
Yachiru lay on his shoulders, swinging her legs happily.
"Go back and fight!"
Senkaimon is closed.
Luo Jia stood there and looked at it for a long time, then took the initiative to walk to Kannonji and helped him lift the board.
Two days later, noon.
Sōkyoku top.
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto stood in the distance, while Kyōraku, Ukitake, Unohana and several captains were scattered around. No one was close to the center of the battlefield, because Reiatsu there had caused cracks in the ground.
Sōya Azashiro stands below Sōkyoku.
Urozakuro's figure appeared next to him. She was covered with a red cloth strip, and her gorgeous Jūnihitoe dress swayed in the wind.
"Xiao Shuang, are you finally willing to give up that boring style of play?"
"Thank you for your hard work these years."
The smile on Urozakuro's face paused slightly.
"It's not like you to say something like that suddenly."
"Come back, Urozakuro."
She did not continue to laugh, but just raised her hand and lightly touched Azashiro's cheek.
The next moment, the materialized sword spirit dissipated.
The whole Seireitei was shaken.
Reishi, who had been assimilated by Urozakuro for hundreds of years, was at the same time separated from the control of Azashiro. The building, air, and underground spiritual veins, including the power remaining in Garganta and World of the Living, all converged on the top of Sōkyoku.
Azashiro gave up the always maintained Bankai.
A short knife appeared in his hand.
"Ring, Urozakuro." (Urozakuro's liberation language has not been mentioned. This is an adaptation, but what is certain is that at this time, Sōya Azashiro clearly took back Bankai, and used Shikai to fight Zaraki.)
Countless Reishi crazily pressed into the blade.
The short sword did not become larger, but the Reiatsu it emitted continued to increase.
At the end, even Executioner's Blade Sōkyoku was shaken beyond measure.
Zaraki walked opposite him and grinned.
"You won't hide this time?"
"No more hiding."
"You don't need those scraps of metal?"
"No need."
Azashiro raised the dagger, and for the first time as 11th Division Captain, he looked squarely at the man in front of him.
"11th Division Captain, Kenpachi Azashiro."
Zaraki The smile on his face is getting bigger and bigger.
He raised his hand and pulled off the blindfold, throwing it aside casually.
Golden Reiatsu rises into the sky.
The rocks on the top of Sōkyoku collapsed one after another, and the mountain wall shook violently.
The onlookers captains simultaneously released Reiatsu to block the spread of the impact.
"11th Division Captain, Kenpachi Zaraki."
Zaraki Hold the handle of the knife with both hands.
"Come on!"
Azashiro Take a step forward.
He no longer calculates the odds of winning, nor prepares a retreat.
Kenpachi is not a title that relies on technique and layout to win.
It was two strong men standing in front of each other, fighting for their lives until one of them fell.
That's all.
The dagger fell.
Zaraki swing their swords at the same time.
The two slashes collided head-on, and the entire Sōkyoku Hill collapsed instantly.
A dark gap opened in the space, a terrifying storm swept through Seireitei, and the roofs of Division Barracks in the distance were blown off one after another.
The light dissipated.
Zaraki stood in the middle of the ruins, with a deep stab wound on his chest. Blood kept pouring out, but his body did not fall.
Azashiro The short knife in his hand has been broken.
His body was torn apart from shoulders to waist, and the remaining parts Reiatsu quickly disintegrated.
Zaraki looked around and found Azashiro, and immediately frowned.
"Did you run away again?"
Yoriichi felt the changes in Reishi around him, thoughtfully.
Under Transparent World, he could see that the Reishi veins that had covered Soul Society for hundreds of years were dissipating.
Azashiro did not escape.
He released all control.
From this moment on, Soul Society and Reishi truly become ownerless things.
A few days later.
Sōya Azashiro dragged his still-unrecovered body back to the place where he was imprisoned alone.
Soul Society's senior officials, including Yoriichi, who knew about this incident, acquiesced in his behavior.
No one was sent to arrest him again.
