Chapter 208 The Knife That Will Defeat You
The venue prepared by Kuroshio Mayuri was not an original location anywhere in Seireitei, but an experimental site built below the 12th Division's barracks.

This experimental site seemed to be used to house some larger living organisms, but all the living organisms inside had been tortured by Kurotsuchi Mayuri. They were either dissected or used in some experiments and ended up being scrapped, so that now this place is completely empty.

There are multiple barriers set up around here, and even a big hollow can't escape from here. Even if a Yachukas-level big hollow uses a virtual flash to bombard the barrier, the barrier here can withstand it perfectly, and even the outside world will not feel any vibration.

In other words, even if there is a captain-level fight here, it will not affect the outside world.

Aize and Kenpachi Zaraki came here and entered the venue.

"You can start anytime."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi and his team leaders were staying far away, and their sharp, slightly sarcastic voice reached the ears of the two men clearly.

"It's okay to make a scene, but with your abilities, it's impossible for you to completely destroy this place."

After saying that, Kurotsuchi Mayuri stopped talking and called over an assistant to start recording the next battle data that would appear here.

The rest of the captains either folded their arms across their chests or stood facing the wind, looking at the two people confronting each other in the distance. No one spoke, and they waited quietly for the battle to begin.

The two people in the field did not keep everyone waiting for long, and took action after Kurotsuchi Mayuri finished speaking.

Kenpachi Zaraki was the first to draw his Zanpakuto.

His Zanpakutō was very peculiar. The guard was a three-dimensional polygon, the blade was uneven, and the handle was wrapped with white cloth. It looked tattered and had a feeling of being worn out quite badly.

"Come on, draw your sword." Zaraki Kenpachi grinned, looking extremely excited, and said, "Do you want me to give you some ground?"

"Whatever you like." Aize's face was very calm, and his hand slowly placed on the hilt of the Zanpakutō at his waist. While drawing the sword, he said: "No matter what you plan to do, it will not affect what I want to do next."

"Whether you want to give in, go all out, or even admit defeat right there and then, I don't mind at all."

"Anyway, as long as you don't leave, I will continue to swing the knife, that's all."

Kenpachi Zaraki seemed very satisfied with these words, and the arc of his grin became even wider.

However, compared to this, Kenpachi Zaraki is more concerned about the Zanpakuto in Aize's hand.

That Zanpakutō and Kenpachi Zaraki's Zanpakutō can be said to be of completely opposite types. Not only is the appearance not shabby, but it is very gorgeous, and there is a faint sense of nobility, which made Kenpachi Zaraki feel that the Zanpakutō in his hand seemed to tremble slightly when facing the opponent.

The captains who were watching the battle also had their attention drawn to Aize's Zanpakutō.

"That Zanpakutō seems to be very special." Shiba Isshin touched his chin, and Kitsune said suspiciously, "It seems that it has not been released yet? Why does it feel like it is not the same as our Zanpakutō?"

"Indeed, there is a very strange feeling." Komamura Sajin looked at the Zanpakutō in Aize's hand through the gap in the mask and said in a deep voice: "I felt a very secret spiritual pressure from it. It's so strange that it can feel so strange even though it hasn't been released yet. It's really weird."

"He has already mastered the Shikai, right?" Tosen Kaname couldn't see Aize's Zanpakutō, but he could sense a faint spiritual pressure more clearly than others, which made him calmly say, "Although I can't see it, such a strange Zanpakutō can't be still unleashed by Asauchi."

"He should be able to master the Shikai." Kyoraku Shunsui said with an interested smile, "He's really amazing. He must have only been in the Asauchi for a short time, maybe just a few days, but he has already mastered the Shikai. He is indeed the most outstanding genius in the past thousand years."

"Captain Aizen has had contact with that genius, right?" Unohana Retsu had been looking at Kenpachi Zaraki, and seeing that he was smiling happily, he looked at Aize who was confronting him, focused on the Zanpakutō in Aize's hand for a while, then turned to Aizen Sosuke and asked, "Have you seen that child's Shikai?"

"No, I haven't seen it yet." Aizen Sosuke shook his head and said with some regret: "When he was in the present world, he eliminated the Achukas-level Hollow without even using his Shikai. It is naturally impossible for the other Hollows to force him to Shikai."

Aizen Sosuke was also very interested in Aize's Zanpakuto.

When he appeared in the world, he discovered the extraordinaryness of the Zanpakuto. Although the faint spiritual pressure was not obvious, it was very distinctive, which made Aizen Sosuke pay special attention to it.

It's a pity that a Zanpakutō is basically the same as an Asagi when it is not released. Even if it is Aizen Sosuke, without seeing Aize's Shikai, no matter how powerful he is, it would be difficult for him to intuitively experience the true peculiarity of a Zanpakutō.

So, he really felt a little regretful and he wasn't pretending.

But because of this, Aizen Sosuke became more interested in Aize's Zanpakuto.

Even though its state is no different from that of Asauchi when it is not released, that Zanpakutō can still show some special features. Doesn't this just prove its extraordinaryness?
If I had known this earlier, I would have prepared my "gift" more fully.

While the captains headed by Aizen Sosuke were talking to each other, SoiFong, Kurotsuchi Mayuri and the captains of the Sixth Division said nothing and watched the battle in silence, including Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

Compared to the other captains, although Kenpachi Zaraki felt that Aize's Zanpakuto was somewhat extraordinary, his perception ability was not yet delicate enough to detect too many things, so he just grinned and said something.

"Don't you want to be a beginner? I can wait for you!"

Hearing this, Aize's expression became a half-smile.

"It's not that easy for me to perform the Shikai. Let's see if you have the ability."

This is the truth, and Aize is not deliberately belittling Kenpachi Zaraki.

He didn't look down on Kenpachi Zaraki, but he sincerely felt that it would be better for him not to perform Shikai so easily.

The reason is simple: his Zanpakuto is really special. Once its true power is released, it will most likely cause some terrible consequences.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi had promised them to let them have a riot here, but Aize felt that if he released his Zanpakutō, it would only take one strike to end the place, and there was no way they could have a riot. Therefore, Aize would not perform Shikai casually.

Of course, Kenpachi Zaraki doesn't think so.

"…Although I'm not like the other guys who think I'm superior just because I'm the captain, and I won't blame you for talking like that."

Kenpachi Zaraki raised the Zanpakuto in his hand and looked at Aize with a red light flashing in his eyes.

"But it still makes me feel annoyed when I'm looked down upon."

As he spoke, Kenpachi Zaraki released his spiritual pressure.

The overwhelming spiritual pressure filled the entire place, causing the air to sway and the space to vibrate.

"Just like you said, no matter what you do, I just need to swing the knife!"

Kenpachi Zaraki showed his ferocious side and laughed loudly.

"Let's fight! Aize!"

The moment the words fell, Kenpachi Zaraki moved.

"Hahahaha!"

With a loud and ecstatic laugh, Kenpachi Zaraki radiated a terrifying spiritual pressure as he rushed towards Aize.

The howling wind surged around him, and Kenpachi Zaraki's charging posture stirred up the atmosphere, causing the impact wind to explode.

Thanks to this, in just the blink of an eye, Kenpachi Zaraki rushed in front of Aize and slashed at him with a knife without any fancy moves.

"boom!"

In an instant, dust sprayed into the sky, rolling up clouds of smoke.

Kenpachi Zaraki's attack was without any fancy moves, but it was like a missile landing, causing an astonishing gust of wind and impact.

The force of this attack is so strong that even an ordinary captain would be in trouble if he faced it head-on.

Aize also felt the amazing force when he blocked the sword, but he still blocked it firmly, causing the blade of Kenpachi Zaraki's severely worn Zanpakuto to rub against his own Zanpakuto violently, splashing countless sparks.

"Ha ha!"

Kenpachi Zaraki was not surprised but happy. His fighting spirit became even more ferocious. He raised his sword and chopped again.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...

As Kenpachi Zaraki's sword chopped down one after another, roars suddenly followed one after another, causing dust to spray into the sky again and again.

Aize did not retreat, but took all of Kenpachi Zaraki's blows. Every time he took the blows, he could feel the amazing force coming from the opposite side, which made the ground beneath his feet break into pieces and sink continuously.

"Your sword is really rough, Captain Zaraki."

Aize deflected the powerful slash and, ignoring the explosive gust of wind and impact, said these words to Kenpachi Zaraki.

"This is my battle. If you have any complaints, just try to defeat me!"

Kenpachi Zaraki was not ashamed of it. Instead, he seemed to enjoy the rough process. He kept laughing and continued to chop at Aize with his sword.

His attacks were completely disorganized, he didn't even have any moves, just like a street thug fighting with a stick, without any trace of a swordsman's demeanor. He was the one with the worst fighting skills among all the opponents Aize had met so far.

However, relying on his naturally powerful spiritual pressure, he made each of his sword strikes extremely powerful, demonstrating the saying "one force can defeat ten skills" to the fullest extent.

"clang!"

Aize deflected his knife for who knows how many times, then suddenly took a step forward and rushed into Kenpachi Zaraki's arms.

"Then you should take a good look at what kind of knife is about to knock you down."

As he spoke these words, the Zanpakutō in Aize's hand slashed across like a crescent moon.

"Pfft!"

The sudden and cold attack successfully hit Kenpachi Zaraki's chest, leaving a wound on his body.

A flash of blood suddenly appeared, and blood splashed towards the sky.
