The snowflakes suddenly stopped falling, as if sensing the rising Reiatsu here. They abruptly ceased their snowfall to avoid being drawn into the battle.
Kenpachi Zaraki's face didn't need to display any sinister or frightening expressions; simply not smiling was enough to intimidate. "I merely swung my sword to eliminate a few traitors for you; no need for thanks."
Judging from the speed at which they arrived, he was pretty sure that this group was prey being targeted by the Stealth Force. But it didn't matter; they were already dead. Why would he expect them to be resurrected?
Kenpachi Zaraki doesn't seek to kill; he shows no mercy even to those he could kill with a casual swing of his sword.
Unless the opponent can give him even a little bit of the joy of combat, he has no right to avoid being killed and to live to continue growing stronger.
Just like the Ikkaku back then, his aura and attacks gave him a bit of fun in fighting, so he deliberately didn't kill and even lied that he used his full strength.
"Gah! "Soi Fon in anger at his attitude. Her small face darkened like a stormy cloud. She said, "Oh, I didn't know you had become so kind. You even help with things related to the Stealth Force."
"By the way, can your broken knife still kill people?"
"Why don't you give it a try?"
Kenpachi Zaraki grinned. He had an exceptional talent for provoking others, able to escalate a fight to the point of violence with just a few words.
The atmosphere at the scene was tense and confrontational.
"Calm down, everyone."
Gin Ichimaru hurriedly stepped in the middle to try and smooth things over, but was met with fierce glares from both sides.
"Get out of the way, Ichimaru." This was Kenpachi Zaraki's shout; he felt the previous fight wasn't enough of a warm-up and wanted to have a proper battle.
"You have no right to speak."
Soi Fon showed no mercy; she was determined to teach Kenpachi Zaraki a lesson today. The Stealth Force could easily wipe out these people; the reason she hadn't made a move was to expose the big fish behind them.
His reckless actions caused the big fish to vanish without a trace.
Soi Fon's fiery temper was simply too much for her to bear.
Gin Ichimaru wore a wry smile; this was a real headache. Giving in was absolutely out of the question.
If they Shin'uchi, Soi Fon would be completely crushed.
Helpless, he opened his narrowed eyes, his expression unusually serious.
Soi Fon immediately looked up.
Gin Ichimaru stood on the roof, using a white bandage that appeared out of nowhere to Kenpachi Zaraki.
This wasn't because he was stronger than Kenpachi Zaraki; it was simply because he launched a sneak attack and avoided Zaraki's beast-like instincts.
The more dangerous the attack, the more instinctively Kenpachi Zaraki reacts.
This is both an advantage and a disadvantage.
When faced with Gin Ichimaru, who can suppress all emotions with rationality, his sudden attack contains no trace of murderous intent, like a gentle breeze brushing against one's cheek, catching one off guard.
"Hey, Ichimaru, let me go! I'm going to cut this guy down!"
Kenpachi Zaraki shouted that the strip of cloth was not a physical object, but a high-level Bakudō technique that could suppress Reiatsu for a short time.
Even someone Kenpachi Zaraki was immediately at a disadvantage and unable to break free from the restraints.
Gin Ichimaru wouldn't let it go. He bowed his head and said, "I'm sorry, Captain Soi Fon. We were just trying to help eliminate an unstable criminal organization out of kindness. We didn't mean to ruin your plans. If you have any complaints, you can report them to the Captain-Commander. Goodbye."
With that, he took Kenpachi Zaraki and left using Shunpo.
Soi Fon frowned slightly, but did not pursue; the snowflakes continued to fall.
Marechiyo Ōmaeda poked her head out of the house and tentatively asked, " Captain Soi Fon, everyone's dead. Can we call it a day and go back to rest?"
The eight-hour workday is for general positions. The Stealth Force depends on the situation; sometimes there isn't a single day off for a whole week, and everyone works overtime all day.
Marechiyo Ōmaeda was extremely resentful of this, but dared not utter a single complaint, since her boss was a workaholic.
Soi Fon glanced at him, noticing his lazy expression, and snorted, "Are you happy now? Why didn't you come out to stop Zaraki and the others back then?"
"How could I possibly stop Captain Zaraki?"
Marechiyo Ōmaeda quickly shook her head. She would avoid such a ferocious creature at all costs, and would never willingly approach it.
"Useless." Soi Fon, then sighed helplessly; the guy's skin was so thick that words couldn't hurt him anymore. "Alright, I'll go back and report to the Captain-Commander. You rest for a few days and await my orders."
"Hi~" Marechiyo Ōmaeda agreed excitedly, finally able to spare some time to spend with her beloved Gigai bodies.
Soi Fon Shunpo to return to the Captain-Commander's office. The heating system dispelled the chill outside, and the snowflakes on her shoulders and hair gradually melted.
She walked a few steps to the table, looking dejected, and said, " Captain-Commander, the trail to the Restore Aizen Group has gone cold. Zaraki, somehow showed up there and wiped them all out."
"He must be lost."
Shiraishi didn't believe that Kenpachi Zaraki would participate in the rebellion. Given his personality, he was most likely just lost in that area and then took them out on the way.
After all, a fierce beast cannot rest for a long time.
Not to mention a ferocious beast of Kenpachi Zaraki's caliber, who is always looking for prey, throwing Gin Ichimaru over there was also an idea to keep him in line.

Broken Bee agreed with his judgment, and glanced at the water stains on his shoulders with her big eyes. She looked at Bai Huang again, her cute little face was flushed, and asked doubtfully, "Did you follow him out just now?"
"No."
Shiraishi spread his hands, looking at you with an expression that said, "I don't understand what you're saying."
Soi Fon's eyes narrowed, and she reached out. Hakuhō Huang Yiyi quickly responded with her chubby little hands, hugging the little darling in her arms. She touched her face; it was a little cool.
Her face couldn't possibly be cool after spending so much time in a heated room.
"You just took Little Hō out of the office in such cold weather. Don't you trust my abilities?"
Soi Fon raised an eyebrow, her expression revealing a hint of anger. She was afraid that Hakuhō would be frozen, and she was also annoyed that Shiraishi didn't trust her to handle things properly.
Shiraishi smiled sheepishly and explained, "I was just worried and confused. You're the apple of my eye."
He leaned closer, put his arms around her slender shoulders, and said gently, "Okay, don't be angry."
Soi Fon remained expressionless. She had a strong sense of pride and had been working hard to improve her strength recently, all to prevent people from saying that she got her position as the Second Division Captain through her relationship with the Captain-Commander.
"You think I can't beat Zaraki?"
"Who said that? How could he possibly beat you?"
Shiraishi denied it outright, then pressed his cheek against hers and said, "Okay, Fon Fon ~ don't be angry anymore. When you're angry, look at Little Hō, she's about to cry."
"Yay!" Hakuhō grasped her hand, her large, clear eyes revealing innocence.
Soi Fon calmed down, but couldn't help wondering who was behind the Restore Aizen Group's troubles.
