Chapter 117: Kneel twice in succession
"That monster-like guy actually knelt down and used my knife!"
"Is this a battle between Shinigami?"
It's not just Ayasegawa Yumichika and Madarame Ikkaku who were shocked.
Ichimaru Gin and Matsumoto Rangiku, who were protected by Aiyan's Reiatsu and were not swept out, saw Zaraki Kenpachi's unruly figure fall to his knees. They recalled the opponent's Reiatsu frenzy that just drowned everything in the mountains and plains, and their faces could not help but be filled with horror and awe of Aiyan.
"Hey, Shinigami."
"Can you tell me, what was that knife... just now?"
"I seem to have seen it somewhere."
Zaraki Kenpachi slowly raised his head, his movements a bit stiff, as if just raising his head took up a lot of energy from him.
It took a full two or three seconds to raise his head enough to see Aiyan clearly.
His eyes were a little dazed.
Just because of Aiyan's sword, he dreamed back a hundred years, returned to the time when his power had not yet sealed itself, and recalled the battle with Unohana Yachiru.
At that time.
He had experienced similar power in the hands of Unohana Yachiru, but it was far less powerful than Aiyan's sword that could break through the sea of clouds by casually lowering it.
"Kendo · One Sword Shinigami Kneel."
Aiyan did not hesitate to tell Zaraki Kenpachi.
This was a reward for helping him test the sword and for surviving his sword skill.
"It's the same ability as hers, but much stronger."
Zaraki Kenpachi said words that were difficult for others to understand, but Aiyan understood that the woman Zaraki Kenpachi mentioned was Unohana Yachiru.
"Why go to Seireitei?"
Aiyan walked step by step, as if stepping on an invisible staircase, walking down from the ceiling.
He remembered Zaraki Kenpachi's arrogant words just now, saying that he would leave him alone to lead the way to Seireitei.
"Because it's boring."
"I visited and hacked all the four 80 districts in Rukongai, but I couldn't find even one opponent who could fight with me."
"The bald man over there said that there are many powerful Shinigami in Seireitei, and Captain Gotei stands at the top of all Shinigami."
Zaraki Kenpachi seemed to be enjoying the fight so much that he didn't care that he fell to his knees. He didn't hide anything and told all the reasons why he asked Shinigami to lead the way to Seireitei.
"There should be a lot of Shinigami like Captain Gotei, enough for me to fight for a while."
"If that doesn't work, go find that guy named Aiyan Sōsuke. I heard that he defeated a Shinigami captain and then became the captain of the Gotei 5th Division."
"If he can defeat even the Gotei captain, he must be quite strong. It should be worth my trip."
Hearing that Zaraki Kenpachi said that he would kill him and take over his position as captain of the Gotei, Aiyan's eyes suddenly flashed with a smile.
"I see."
"Then you don't have to ask Shinigami to take you to Seireitei."
Aiyan nodded understandingly.
"Why?"
Zaraki Kenpachi looked like this when he heard this.
"Because I am the Gotei captain."
Aiyan's words stunned everyone.
Including Matsumoto Rangiku and Ichimaru Gin, who understood clearly what Captain Gotei represents through Zaraki Kenpachi's words just now.
"Are you the Gotei captain?"
"That's really great."
"Kill you, and I will be the captain."
Zaraki Kenpachi was slightly startled, but after thinking about Aiyan's strength, he took it for granted, and then became even more excited. The Reiatsu that had just been extinguished rose up again, like a volcano erupting and lava spewing out, even more powerful than the previous battle with Aiyan.
It seems that the physical injuries and the tremendous pressure Aiyan brought to him caused him to unconsciously open the Shikai seal with his unconsciously sealed strength.
Driven by the climbing Reiatsu, he slowly raised his knees that touched the ground and gradually left the ground until he stood up again.
"This is Master Zaraki."
"The man I will follow my whole life."
Seeing Zaraki Kenpachi not only seemed to be resurrected with full health, but even became stronger.
Madarame Ikkaku and Ayasegawa Yumichika were excited, but also secretly relieved.
However,
What the two of them didn't see was that Kusajishi Yachiru, who was usually laughing and joking, was not only unusually quiet at this time, but even her chubby little face was full of heaviness.
It seemed that even if Zaraki Kenpachi's Reiatsu was gradually unblocked and rising, in her eyes, there was still no chance of winning.
"It's a good idea."
"If the Shinigami you choose is another Gotei captain, it may or may not be possible."
"It's a pity that you chose the wrong captain."
Seeing Zaraki Kenpachi doing sit-ups and Reiatsu even better, Aiyan remained calm and calm, not surprised at all.
"Is it because you are stronger than the other Gotei captains?"
"If that's the case, then you made the right choice."
"Come on, let's continue. This time I will definitely let you pull out the knife from your waist."
Zaraki Kenpachi was so full of Reiatsu that he didn't even notice that when Aiyan looked at him, his eyes were like looking at an ant screaming at him. He continued to mention Zanpakutō and rushed towards Aiyan with rapid strides.
Tsk.
Poof!
But after taking a few steps, there was a sudden sound like bones breaking from his knees, and then bursts of scarlet blood sprayed out from his knees.
Snap!
As the blood mist spurted out, Zaraki Kenpachi's forward speed slowed down sharply, and he could only stagger forward for two or three steps before his feet went weak and he knelt down towards Aiyan again.
Kneel twice in succession.
Not only Madarame Ikkaku and others were shocked, but Zaraki Kenpachi himself was also shocked.
He wanted to get up, but his feet felt as if they were filled with lead. No matter how his brain ordered him, there was no response.
"Don't force your legs."
"This is not a theory of will. With Shinigami's body structure, it is almost impossible for you to stand up."
"Even though your Reiatsu has improved a lot compared to before."
Aiyan lowered his head and looked down at Zaraki Kenpachi who wanted to stand up, but could only kneel in front of himself.
"Do you know why I just said you chose the wrong captain?"
"It's not because you said it, I'm stronger than other Gotei captains."
"Just because my name is Aiyan."
As soon as these words came out.
Zaraki Kenpachi, who had been struggling and wanted to get up, suddenly froze.
It's not just him.
Everyone stared blankly at Aiyan who said his name.
"Are you Aiyan?"
Zaraki Kenpachi suddenly raised his head and stared at the Gotei captain standing in front of him.
"Yes."
"First time we meet, I am…"
"Aiyan Sōsuke."
Aiyan met Zaraki Kenpachi's shocked gaze and smiled happily.
"It's him!"
Ichimaru Gin on the side looked at Aiyan's back and seemed to find something. His slightly narrowed eyes suddenly opened, revealing a pair of light blue pupils.
"Didn't you just say that?"
"If Aiyan Sōsuke becomes captain of the fifth division."
"My sword only took away your ability to stand on your knees, but it did not take away the sight of your eyes."
Aiyan shook his head gently, and then turned around in front of Zaraki Kenpachi, with his back to him, not worried at all that the other party would take this opportunity to stab him in the back.
"Team 5!"
Zaraki Kenpachi looked around and found the word "five" on the back of the captain Haori worn by Aiyan.
