Some time has passed since Aizen made his mark in Hueco Mundo.
A man wielding a jagged, Asauchi blade, resembling a ferocious beast, arrived in Seireitei from Rukongai.
This man was nearly two meters tall, with muscles as strong as steel and eyes as fierce as a wild beast. Whether it was his eyes or other parts that were normally vulnerable to humans, he had trained to the extreme. He was a monster among monsters.
This monster, a sight rarely seen even in the entire world, has arrived at the gates of the 11th Division, shouting that he wants to challenge the division leader.
"Captain, there's a big guy outside who wants to challenge you!"
In the 11th Division dojo, a man with short black hair and an extremely frail appearance spoke to Kenpachi Kiganjō.
"Challenge me? These days, any Tom, Dick, or Harry can come and challenge me!"
After hearing his underling's words, Kenpachi Kiganjō smiled disdainfully. Since defeating Gosuke Kenpachi, Kenpachi Kiganjō, who considered himself invincible in direct combat, never thought that anyone would challenge him.
You should go outside and take a look!
"That man seems very strong; he's already cut down several team members."
Kenpachi Kiganjō's underlings spoke repeatedly.
"I see..."
Kenpachi Kiganjō stood up impatiently.
"Oh, right, go and inform the Fourth Division to come and treat our fallen members, and also to collect the body of that guy who came to challenge me."
Kenpachi Kiganjō strode toward the squad's gate. Just as he was about to step out of the barracks, he suddenly remembered something and turned to speak to his squad members.
"Yes, sir!"
The black-haired soldier nodded repeatedly after hearing Kenpachi Kiganjō's words, full of confidence in his captain.
"Hmph~ I wonder if Retsu Unohana will bring Yamada-kun to see my heroic performance."
Kenpachi Kiganjō gripped his Zanpakuto, thinking with a hint of excitement that ever since his anus was pierced... and he had witnessed Kiyōnosuke Yamada's beauty up close at the Fourth Division, he had developed a primal instinct towards him. Unfortunately, it seemed that the other party did not reciprocate his feelings, so he had to show off his masculine charm and let the other party see his strong physique.
Inside the Fourth Division Barracks.
"Captain, it seems someone from the 11th Division is going to challenge Kenpachi. I heard this guy is a tough one; he's already single-handedly taken down several members of the 11th Division and is now preparing to fight Kenpachi Kiganjō."
Kiyōnosuke Yamada held several bottles and jars in his hands, gently shaking them as he spoke to Sister Hana was sitting quietly drinking tea to the side.
"Oh? Another Kenpachi challenge? Come to think of it, they're changing Kenpachi all the time lately~"
"Why don't we go check it out? It won't matter who's injured, right? Yamada-kun."
After hearing Kiyōnosuke Yamada's words, Retsu Unohana smiled slightly. Her smile was beautiful, but beneath that beautiful smile lay a dark, bottomless killing intent.
"Yes, Captain."
Kiyōnosuke Yamada always followed Retsu Unohana's lead and would never disobey Retsu Unohana orders.
Just as Retsu Unohana and Kiyōnosuke Yamada were chatting, the captain's door was pushed open, and the black-haired member of the 11th Division walked in.
"Reporting to Captain Retsu Unohana, this is Maki Ichinose from the 11th Division. I've come to convey a request from our 11th Division Captain Kenpachi Kiganjō, who requests that you come to treat the injured members."
Maki Ichinose knelt on one knee and reported to Retsu Unohana.
"..."
After hearing Maki Ichinose's words, Retsu Unohana did not reply. She and Kiyōnosuke Yamada exchanged a smile.
"Go back and report to Captain Kiganjō! Kiyōnosuke Yamada and I will head over now."
After a while, Retsu Unohana began to speak to the 11th Division member in front of her.
"Yes, sir!"
Maki Ichinose, whose forehead was beaded with sweat from Retsu Unohana's delayed reply, breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave after receiving Retsu Unohana's answer.
"Let's go, Yamada-kun!"
After Maki Ichinose left, Retsu Unohana smiled slightly at Kiyōnosuke Yamada beside her and extended her fair hand.
"Yes, Captain!"
Kiyōnosuke Yamada bent slightly to take Sister Hana's hand and helped Sister Hana up. He was like the queen's butler, standing by her side, taking care of everything for her, and Sister Hana was that queen.
On the street near the 11th Division, the large man wielding a serrated Zanpakuto defeated Third Seat of the original 11th Division with a single blow. His domineering Spiritual Pressure chilled the Soul Reaper to the bone.
You guys are no good!
The big man slung his blade over his shoulder, disappointed with the Soul Reaper he had so easily dispatched.
" Kenny is the strongest!"
Behind the tall man, a pink-haired girl cheered him on with a cheerful expression.
"Hey! You've gone a bit too far."
Just as the giant displayed astonishing combat power, causing countless Soul Reaper to hesitate, Kenpachi Kiganjō wielded Zanpakuto and resembled Zhang Fei reincarnated, strode arrogantly over.
"Um?"
The big man looked at the Kenpachi Kiganjō was wearing a haori, and suddenly seemed to understand something.
"You must be the captain? The captain of the 11th Division!"
The big man walked step by step toward Kenpachi Kiganjō, asking questions all the while.
"I am the current captain of the 11th Division, the strongest Soul Reaper in Soul Society, the strongest Kenpachi in history, Kenpachi Kiganjō!"
Looking at the giant, beast-like figure who was slightly shorter than him, Kenpachi Kiganjō immediately assumed that his strength, like his height, must be far superior to the other's, and so he arrogantly declared.
"Is that so? Then it seems to be you. I hope that as the squad leader, you can bring me the kind of thrill I've been constantly pursuing! The thrill of battle!"
The tall man, who was preparing to challenge the leader of the team, was not afraid of Kenpachi Kiganjō's height. On the contrary, he became even more eager to try.
"Hmph! Hahaha!"
"Disappear! Pay the price for your arrogance!"
With Kenpachi Kiganjō slashed at the shoulder of the beast-like man before him.
"Whoosh!"
As the blade pierced the flesh, endless blood gushed out, staining the ground crimson.
"It's over!"
Kenpachi Kiganjō knew that his battle was over and that he had once again emerged victorious. He then prepared to pull his Zanpakuto from his opponent's shoulder.
"Um?"
However, this attempt to pull it out caused a major problem. Despite his continued efforts, Kenpachi Kiganjō's Zanpakuto remained embedded in the flesh and blood of the beast-like man before him, unable to be extracted.
"What?"
When Kenpachi Kiganjō saw that his sword, which he considered the best in the world, could not be pulled from the shoulder of this mere unknown challenger, his eyelids twitched wildly and beads of sweat dripped from his forehead.
"Damn it! Move! Move for me! Why...?"
Kenpachi Kiganjō had no idea what was happening. He roared like a madman, but it was all in vain.
"Ha ha ha ha..."
The next second, the big guy he had slashed burst into maniacal laughter.
"As expected of the captain, he managed to wound me in one go."
The big man laughed loudly as he raised his Zanpakuto high in the air.
"Forehead..."
Kenpachi Kiganjō stared at the man who held his Zanpakuto high like a wild beast, and his legs trembled uncontrollably. This man, who was nearly twenty centimeters taller than him, suddenly appeared to him to be taller than him. He was so incredibly tall!
"Whoosh!"
A flash of cold light appeared, and a neat knife wound slowly formed on Kenpachi Kiganjō's body, running from his shoulder to the root of his thigh. The next second, blood gushed out, splattering all over the body of the man who had challenged Kenpachi Kiganjō. For a moment, the man looked like a demon that had walked out of Hell, terrifying and ferocious.
"Clatter~"
With a soft thud, Kenpachi Kiganjō slowly collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
"Forehead..."
That's it?
The demon-like man who had defeated Kenpachi Kiganjō, the fierce warrior of Rukongai, in an instant, frowned deeply as he looked at the lifeless Kenpachi Kiganjō lying on the ground. This was completely different from the battle he had expected. He hadn't originally intended to kill his opponent, but... the opponent was simply too weak, killed by him with a single sword strike. It was truly uninteresting.
"Hmph! From today onwards, I am the captain of the 11th Division!"
"From this day forward, my name will be Kenpachi Zaraki!"
The beast stripped the clothes off the body of Kenpachi Kiganjō lying at his feet and called himself Kenpachi Zaraki. From this moment on, the era of the tenth Kenpachi Kiganjō, had passed, and the era of the Eleventh Kenpachi, Kenpachi Zaraki, had begun.
"How... how could this be? How could the incredibly powerful Kenpachi Kiganjō be defeated? This can't be real... this can't be real..."
The 11th Division member, Maki Ichinose, who had always idolized a fool like Kenpachi Kiganjō, suddenly knelt down upon seeing the already cold corpse of Kenpachi Kiganjō, who had been instantly killed, clutching his head and wailing in agony.
"It's that brat."
Meanwhile, standing under the shade of a tree, Kenpachi Zaraki kill Kenpachi Kiganjō Retsu Unohana Zanpakuto, extended her pink tongue and gently licked her blood-red lips. At the same time, her fingers lightly gripped the Zanpakuto at her waist, and a dangerous aura emanated from Retsu Unohana.
"Um?!"
The terrifying killing intent startled Kenpachi Zaraki like a frightened little animal. He picked up the pink-haired girl who had been supporting him and Zanpakuto horizontally in front of him. His eyes kept looking around, searching for the source of the killing intent, and finally locked onto Retsu Unohana of a tree.
Hello~
When Retsu Unohana realized that Kenpachi Zaraki Kenpachi Zaraki had noticed her, she completely suppressed her murderous aura and greeted him softly, like a beautiful wife waiting for her husband to return from work.
"Who are you..."
Kenpachi Zaraki gazed at the stunningly beautiful Retsu Unohana, a long-forgotten memory seemed to slowly stir within his muddled mind.
"Let's go, Yamada-kun."
Meanwhile, feeling satisfied, Retsu Unohana gave the order to Kiyōnosuke Yamada, who was beside her, to return home.
"Yes, ma'am!"
After hearing what Retsu Unohana said, Kiyōnosuke Yamada nodded slightly and reached out to hold up a parasol.
The next second, the two of them were far away from the 11th Division. As for the 11th Division members who had been knocked to the ground, they could just apply some medicine and it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, the members of the 11th Division were all tough and resilient, and these injuries were nothing. As for Oni Kenpachi, who was killed by Kenpachi Kiganjō Kenpachi Zaraki... he was already a dead man and there was no point in saving him. He could just be left there and wait for the Kidō Corps or the Stealth Force to come and deal with him.
" Kenny... no, Kenny is now Kenpachi ~ the strongest Soul Reaper in Soul Society right now, so I should call you Little Hachi now! Hehehe... do you think the name Little Hachi is good?"
The pink-haired little girl perched on Kenpachi Zaraki's shoulder, talking incessantly.
"Whatever you want..."
After listening to the pink-haired little girl's words, Kenpachi Zaraki spoke casually, his words full of doting affection, which could be considered a privilege he bestowed upon this little girl named Yachiru Kusajishi.
Second Division Captain's Room.
Wearing an eye patch, Sōgo lay in the very center of the enormous palace, flipping through a magazine he had acquired from the World of the Living.
" Sōgo, a major incident! The captain of the 11th Division, the one known as the strongest Soul Reaper Kenpachi Kiganjō, has been killed with a single blow. The captain of the 11th Division has changed; the new captain seems to be named Kenpachi Zaraki!"
Shaoling Fon appeared in front of Sōgo in a flash and reported.
" Kenpachi Kiganjō? A piece of trash... In my opinion, he's not even good enough to be a vice-captain, yet he calls himself the strongest Soul Reaper in Soul Society? Kenpachi's title is practically weeping... If it weren't for his predecessor being the weakest, he would truly be the weakest Kenpachi ever! As for the new Kenpachi who killed him in one blow... he might have some strength, at least he won't embarrass himself like that idiot."
After listening to Shaoling Fon's words, Sōgo remained lying on the wooden floor, flipping through the magazine in his hand and commenting on Kenpachi Kiganjō's level as a first-generation Kenpachi.
" Sōgo, you don't seem to care much about these things."
After listening to Sōgo's words, Shaoling Fon spoke.
"These are all things that have nothing to do with me~"
"Besides, the captains of the Soul Society have been changing too quickly lately. I probably wouldn't be surprised if the Soul King were to change one day?"
After Sōgo what Shaoling Fon said, Sougo yawned and spoke expressionlessly.
However, Sōgo was still naive. Sometimes, even if he's too lazy to look for trouble, trouble will still come knocking on his door...
Not long after Kenpachi Zaraki became the captain of the 11th Division, Kenpachi Zaraki grew tired of the joy of fighting his fellow members. He found fighting weaker than himself utterly uninteresting and wanted to find a monster stronger than himself, because that would make the fight much more interesting.
