"What happened!?"
The bespectacled man stood frozen in place, completely bewildered by what had just happened. He couldn't comprehend what these chains binding him and his enemy were, what the enemy had done, or what effect they would have on him. Everything seemed utterly unknown.
"Aren't these chains that bind us together interesting!"
Shūhei Hisagi smiled as he looked at the man before him. Anyone who saw his Bankai would be puzzled, because what looked like chains used for beheading was just an illusion; his true power had nothing to do with those chains.
"Your abilities must be related to these chains!"
"In that case, I only need to destroy these chains to kill you!"
"A boring ability..."
The man gently pushed up his glasses perched on his nose; he had already seen Shūhei Hisagi's weakness.
"Is that so!? You really think my Bankai is something that can be easily broken!?"
"If that's the case, then let's give it a try!"
"Let's see if you can actually destroy my Bankai!"
After hearing the man's words, Shūhei Hisagi smiled. It was a smile of victory, or rather, a smile of Shūhei Hisagi declaring that he would never be defeated.
"Boring!"
The bespectacled man looked at Shūhei Hisagi, who was chuckling, and assumed that the enemy was just being deliberately mysterious because he couldn't defeat him. The bespectacled man was a very proud and confident person. To be precise, as a member of the first Gotei 13 and one of the top assassins in the assassin group, he had absolute confidence in his killing ability. Of course, he also had the capital to be confident.
The fact that the three original Gotei 13 who are still alive today— Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai, Tenjirō Kirinji, and Retsu Unohana —demonstrates the prestige and terrifying strength of the original Gotei 13 captains!
"After this move, I believe you will understand the fundamental difference in strength between us!"
The bespectacled man spoke softly, his white glove transforming back into a samurai sword.
Feel the difference!
"Wireless Style! Dance of Dazzling Disorder!"
As the bespectacled man spoke, he raised his Zanpakuto high above his head. The next second, streaks of silver-white light began to flash around him. One slash, two slashes, three slashes—the countless blades of light multiplied, growing faster and faster...
Ultimately, it swirled into a dazzling whirlwind of swords!
In an instant, these whirlwinds destroyed all the surrounding chains...
"It's over! I've destroyed your Bankai. Now you understand the power difference between us, right!?"
The bespectacled man gently adjusted his glasses perched on his nose. He believed that no one could remain silent after witnessing his strongest swordsmanship, not even the Kenpachi Princess Yachiru Unohana, known as Kenpachi!
"You ruined my Bankai!?"
"Stop talking big! Look carefully again, did you really manage to destroy my Bankai?"
After hearing the bespectacled man's words, Shūhei Hisagi sneered, seemingly disdainful of the man's attack.
"Hehe..."
"Certainly!"
"I have already cracked your Bankai, and you will soon be punished by me..."
The bespectacled man smiled, preparing to deliver the final blow to Shūhei Hisagi.
"You're saying my Bankai has been destroyed? You're saying I'm going to be punished by you right now!?"
"Stop joking! First of all, my Bankai wasn't destroyed by you, you bastard. Secondly, no one in this world has the right to directly execute or punish him, except for Sōgo Shihoin... cough cough! I'll show you right here how boring and stupid your idea is."
Shūhei Hisagi Sōgo Shihoin. As a veteran employee who had been in the position of vice-captain for a long time, he knew and understood all the secrets of being a simp. As long as you simp the right person, you can really have everything!
"Boring! I'd like to see how you're going to stop me from punishing you!"
The bespectacled man was disdainful of Shūhei Hisagi's words. He had seen too many people who talked big, and without exception, all of them ended up dying at his hands.
"I've already stopped it!"
Shūhei Hisagi chuckled softly after hearing the bespectacled man's words, and the instant his voice fell, the chains that the bespectacled man had damaged were instantly restored to their original state...
"What!?"
The bespectacled man's eyes flickered as he looked at the chains, now restored to their original state.
"Hehe..."
"It's just that the chains have been restored!?"
"What's the point of you doing this!? I can just break these fragile chains one more time!"
After a brief silence and bewilderment upon seeing the chains, the bespectacled man quickly regained his composure. As a former member of the Gotei 13, he was a senior figure and could not afford to embarrass himself in front of his juniors. Even if he didn't understand the abilities of the skill before him, he had to appear as if it were completely harmless and that he could easily decipher it.
"Yeah!?"
"Does it really mean absolutely nothing!?"
After hearing the bespectacled man's words, Shūhei Hisagi showed no anger, only a slight smile.
"Pretending to be mysterious..."
The bespectacled man had already sensed something was wrong, but he was still putting on a brave face. However, just as he was about to make another move, his expression suddenly changed.
"My Spiritual Pressure..."
The bespectacled man looked somewhat panicked; he could feel his Spiritual Pressure being depleted abnormally.
"Do you understand!?"
Shūhei Hisagi glanced at the bespectacled man whose expression flashed with a hint of panic, and he knew the man had already noticed.
"What... what did you do!?"
The bespectacled man bit his lip. He had clearly promised himself he wouldn't ask, but he was genuinely confused. He really didn't understand how his Spiritual Pressure had been depleted.
"These chains are one with me."
Shūhei Hisagi didn't fully answer the bespectacled man's question. He merely reminded the man that the chain was the essence of the body, and that the chain, or Shūhei Hisagi, could be seen as a single entity, inseparable from each other.
"Um!?"
The bespectacled man was completely baffled as to what Shūhei Hisagi was trying to say.
"Don't you understand yet!?"
Shūhei Hisagi had assumed the bespectacled man before him was a genius like Sōsuke Aizen, someone he could understand without needing an introduction. Now it seemed he'd been mistaken; the enemy was the type who tried to project an image of intelligence and difficulty, but was actually a complete idiot...
"If you don't understand, then use your abilities to hit me! Hit my face!"
Shūhei Hisagi sighed helplessly and pointed to his face as he spoke.
"..."
"If that's the case, then die!"
The bespectacled man showed no mercy to Shūhei Hisagi and instantly set his fingers on fire.
"Ittō Kasō!"
In an instant, the bespectacled man unleashed Hadō magical power) numbered 90 or higher without any incantation! That's right, this is the power of the first Gotei 13!
"Boom!"
A towering pillar of flame pierced through the clouds in an instant; its terrifying power could even melt steel!
"Ah!!!"
Shūhei Hisagi burned in the flames that could incinerate the soul, unleashing a painful roar.
"Hehe..."
"Was it all just a charade after all!?"
The bespectacled man's initial hope, which had risen within him as he watched the suffering Shūhei Hisagi, shattered instantly. He knew he had probably been overthinking things again; after all, the enemy was just a brat. What power could a brat's Bankai possess!?
"Again! This level is completely meaningless..."
Just as the bespectacled man was about to leave, Shūhei Hisagi, who was being burned, suddenly roared.
"It's meaningless..."
The bespectacled man frowned after hearing Shūhei Hisagi's words.
"Then let me add fuel to the fire for you!"
As the bespectacled man was about to unleash Kidō, he suddenly felt dizzy and his Spiritual Pressure was rapidly decreasing...
"What!?"
The bespectacled man struggled to keep himself upright; his face was deathly pale, and he was drenched in cold sweat. He couldn't understand why his Spiritual Pressure was being depleted at such a rapid pace.
"Hahaha..."
"Is it because I feel like my Spiritual Pressure is exhausted!?"
Just as the bespectacled man was struggling to keep himself upright, Shūhei Hisagi looked at him and laughed.
"You..."
"Why are you completely unharmed!?"
The bespectacled man looked at Shūhei Hisagi, who was almost unharmed but looked just as exhausted as he was. He opened his mouth slightly, truly astonished. No one, not even Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai, could possibly withstand Ittō Kasō at such close range and emerge unscathed!
"Don't you understand yet!? You idiot!"
Shūhei Hisagi finally couldn't stand it anymore. He was somewhat helpless. If the other party were as intelligent as Captain Aizen, he wouldn't be so confused about what had happened.
What exactly happened?! What are you hiding?
"And I'm not stupid!"
The bespectacled man glared angrily at Shūhei Hisagi. He'd been called an idiot since childhood, even his teammates in the Gotei 13 sometimes called him that, but he wasn't an idiot! What idiot wears glasses?! Absolutely not, right?!
Whether you're an idiot or not!
You absolutely cannot break through my absolute defense!
"Because right now, the me who's finished is invincible!"
Shūhei Hisagi shamelessly copied Sōgo Shihoin's catchphrases.
"Invincible!?"
The bespectacled man was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. At that moment, he was pondering what kind of person could call themselves invincible, and what kind of ability they possessed that would qualify them as invincible!
"Don't you understand?! My Bankai binds me to the enemy's Spiritual Pressure. Whenever I take damage, I recover through the Spiritual Pressure of both myself and the enemy..."
"And I will not stop using my Bankai until both sides collapse from exhaustion of Spiritual Pressure!"
Shūhei Hisagi looked at the bespectacled man with great pride and excitedly introduced his Bankai.
"Isn't this an overpowered Bankai?!"
After hearing Shūhei Hisagi's words, the bespectacled man's eyes twitched slightly. He now understood why his enemy claimed to be invincible. This Bankai was indeed invincible, and this ability was indeed invincible, but it was completely unreasonable!
This is downright cheating...
The bespectacled man had run out of ideas on how to deal with Shūhei Hisagi. He had to admit that the newcomer in front of him was stronger now!
"Come on, Sa!"
Come and fuck me!
"A real man should do what a real man should do!"
"Use your strength to whip me mercilessly, but believe me, I will never admit defeat!"
Shūhei Hisagi gave the bespectacled man a lewd smile.
"Get lost! You damn pervert..."
The bespectacled man made a disgusted expression; he had to admit, the enemy's move was absolutely disgusting.
On the other side...
Inside the Fifth Division's barracks.
Momo Hinamori looked somewhat awkwardly at Shinji Hirako was getting ready.
This was the first time she had ever seen a squad leader so concerned about his appearance...
The mere thought of the word "captain" reminded Momo Hinamori of Sōsuke Aizen...
Her idol, the man she admires most...
But all of that is in the past now, and she no longer thinks about her captain coming back to her.
"Um!?"
Just as Momo Hinamori was lost in her fantasies, Shinji Hirako, who had been working on the tree stump, suddenly stopped in his tracks, as if he had sensed something strange.
"Hey! Momo Hinamori..."
You came to my side.
Shinji Hirako gently beckoned to Momo Hinamori with his finger.
"Yes, Captain Hirako..."
Upon hearing this, Momo Hinamori immediately went to Shinji Hirako's side.
"It seems like something really bad has happened to Momo Hinamori- san!"
"It seems our Gotei 13 has been invaded~"
Shinji Hirako looked at Momo Hinamori helplessly as she spoke.
"Someone has infiltrated the Gotei 13! We need to go and take them down right now!"
Upon hearing this, Momo Hinamori immediately prepared to set off on patrol.
"No, no, no~"
We don't need to go out and look for others.
Shinji Hirako said with a helpless expression after hearing Momo Hinamori's words.
"Huh!? Why don't I need to go out and fight the enemy!?"
Momo Hinamori asked Shinji Hirako, somewhat puzzled.
Because the answer is very simple!
"Our enemy has infiltrated through the gaps in the Gotei 13!"
Shinji Hirako said with great helplessness.
"The enemy has already invaded!?"
Upon hearing this, Momo Hinamori's expression changed. She hadn't expected that the enemy had already arrived at the Fifth Rebellion of the Gotei 5, but they just hadn't found them yet.
Yeah~
"Come out, big sister! Stop scaring the children!"
Shinji Hirako looked around and suddenly spoke softly.
"Oh dear~"
"You actually found out..."
Just after Shinji Hirako asked his question, a beautiful woman with a voluptuous figure suddenly stepped out.
