The Unforgiven in Shinigami, Chapter 58: A Beast Forever Lost on the Path of Life. "Eh?"
Fine snowflakes fluttered down, turning the coats I was wearing white. The black that was visible as I moved around was gradually covered by the white snow when I stopped walking.
The man with long, light purple hair covering his ears looked up, gazing in a direction a kilometer away. Sensing a subtle shift in Reiatsu, he smiled and said, "Oh dear, it seems we've gotten lost in a rather unpleasant place."
" Ichimaru, listen to me. Before, when I got lost, it was always Yachiru who would give me random directions. Now that she's gone, I won't get lost at all."
The tall man emphasized, his fierce face displaying an expression of absolute certainty, his thick, long hair cascading down his back like a lion's mane, adding to his imposing presence.
Gin Ichimaru shrugged and said, "If we weren't lost, why would we be able to buy a pancake that ends up in Abarai District?"
"How can you buy pancakes without searching the entire Seireitei?"
Kenpachi Zaraki countered with a question, then looked up at the falling snowflakes and suddenly realized, "This must be affecting my vision. Why don't we have a fight? The clouds will dissipate, and the snow will stop."
"Please, have mercy on me. You're always finding excuses to fight, sometimes up to eight times a day. I'm exhausted."
Gin Ichimaru complained bitterly, sometimes feeling that it would be better to stay in the Jail, at least there would be peace and quiet. "Besides, on a day like today, I really don't want to resort to violence."
Kenpachi Zaraki asked in confusion, "Shouldn't we warm up by doing some light exercise before it snows?"
"I'd much rather snuggle up in a kotatsu, drinking steaming hot tea and eating pancakes."
Gin Ichimaru spoke, he suddenly remembered that it was this very thought that led him to leave his room in the barracks and wander around the District 26 of Seireitei because he was short of pancakes.
It seems I shouldn't have those kinds of thoughts anymore; a kotatsu and hot tea are enough.
"If you want to fight, go over there. The Reiatsu there clearly exceeds the Shinigami defenses expected in the Abarai District."
To avoid being targeted by Kenpachi Zaraki, Gin Ichimaru decided to shift the blame, pointing to the building in front of him.
He was certain that the people inside were not good people. At least in a society ruled by Shinigami, such forces that were not part of the official system were an unstable foundation, and eliminating them was absolutely no problem.
After Kenpachi Zaraki removed the Research and Development Institute, his Reiatsu perception became rather dull. He couldn't sense anything unless it was at close range or a very powerful burst of Reiatsu.
However, he trusted Gin Ichimaru's judgment. This person's Reiatsu perception ability was quite strong. If there was someone inside, then there must be an opponent.
"Alright, let's warm up a bit."
Kenpachi Zaraki grinned. He loved fighting and had absolutely no interest in cell phones, movies, or any of that so-called high-tech stuff.
He spent his days either fighting, eating, or sleeping, living like a wild beast, yet he never grew tired of it; on the contrary, he became addicted to it.
Jim Parsons was the nominal leader of the Restore Aizen Group. During the Divine Realm period, he served as a priest multiple times, which he firmly believed was God's trust in him.
After Aizen's defeat and death, Divine Realm was renamed Soul Society, and the places where people lived were divided into District 26. As a priest, he lost his job and did not choose to join the Shinigami regime.
For more than a year afterward, he worked as a shop assistant, an assembly line worker, and a street performer. Finally, he met that important person, which changed his life, leading him to become a rebel and begin to gather like-minded people.
It was at this time that he discovered that many people possessed great Spiritual Power, but lacked systematic instruction and combat experience. He believed that if he imparted these to them, they would be no less powerful than the Shinigami.
The Restore Aizen Group's power has been growing step by step, and now it has 47 members.
The existing territory is no longer sufficient to accommodate everyone, and further expansion is necessary.
Jim was still dreaming of a bright future when he heard a loud bang downstairs. Thinking it was an internal brawl, he quickly left the room, turned downstairs, and yelled, "Seriously! I told you not to make too much noise. What if Shinigami finds out?"
After Jim finished speaking, he saw the situation below: hot blood splattered on the walls, the table broke, and more than a dozen people lay in pools of blood.
The tall man stood there, bloodless, his serrated blade dripping with blood, looking like a demon. "Oh, so you're the general? Not bad, I'll give you a chance."
Looking at the Captain's Haori, with the number eleven prominently displayed.
Jim's face darkened. Why was the captain of the 11th Division showing up in Abarai District?
"Don't just stand there, attack me! I won't dodge or resist. You can attack me anywhere on my body."
Kenpachi Zaraki enjoys fighting, not just pure killing, so these clearly unqualified opponents don't excite him. He only finds a bit of joy in fighting by putting himself at a disadvantage.
Jim's eyes flashed with surprise. Afraid that he would regret it, he hurriedly put on the spiked knuckle duster and raised his Reiatsu to the limit.
"Ha!" Jim pushed off with his foot and charged forward, gathering all his Reiatsu in his right hand, creating a huge sonic boom in the air, his target being Kenpachi Zaraki's heart.
Even the captain of the Shinigami will die if his heart is pierced.
Bang!
An explosion rang out, blood splattered, and Jim's eyes widened in disbelief. His full-force attack had only managed to graze his skin, leaving his finger feeling as if it were about to break.
That's it?
A look of disappointment flashed across Kenpachi Zaraki's face. He raised his sword and swung it forward, splitting Jim in two, blood gushing out.
He had already turned and walked away as blood gushed out; it wasn't even a warm-up.
Gin Ichimaru smiled and said, "That's about the level of the Seated Officer. It will probably take some time before Captain-level emerges."
"Really? I'm really looking forward to it."
Kenpachi Zaraki laughed, recalling the battle between Byakuya Kuchiki and Renji Abarai. Months had passed, but the memory still made him itchy to fight Byakuya Kuchiki.
" Ichimaru, do you think if I pursue Rukia and then fight Byakuya Kuchiki, could Shiraishi agree to it?"
Gin Ichimaru shook his head and said, "Impossible."
"Then let's fight Abarai."
Kenpachi Zaraki best.
Gin Ichimaru spread his hands and said, "The key question is, do you really like Rukia?"
"No interest." Kenpachi Zaraki answered decisively, then added, "However, I am very interested in fighting. If pursuing Rukia would grant me fighting opportunities, wouldn't that be the same as me being interested in her?"
This logic left Gin Ichimaru speechless.
As they were pondering, someone blocked their way.
Soi Fon's face was grim, and her tone was full of anger as she said, " Zaraki, you bastard, do you know what you've done?"
Kenpachi Zaraki laughed; this was a worthy opponent delivered right to his doorstep.
