Bleach: The Captain of the Fifth Division Becomes Stronger Through Training.

Chapter 273 Chapter 272: Adaptation
Sagara dragon.

This is the name of Arima Shizuya's Zanpakutō, and also the source of its power.

All the members of the Gotei 13 who know this person, his name, and his combat style naturally have a very deep impression of this thing.

But, it is also because I have a deep understanding of its content.

That's why everyone today is so confused and bewildered.

"real or fake?"

Kyoraku Shunsui, who was facing off against Arrancar No. 1, opened his mouth slightly and half turned his head with an expression that seemed almost stunned.

It's not Bankai, but Shikai?

Do you think you can resist the flames of Master Shan with just that level of strength? No matter from which angle you look at it, this is something close to a fantasy.

It's really hard to believe.

"What are you looking at?"

Koyate Stark calmly pulled the trigger.

The silver-white gun in his hand does not have a complicated structure, but it can simply extract the energy in its body in this way.

Then it forms a method similar to virtual flash and launches the attack.

A buzzing meteor gushed out from the muzzle of the gun and pierced almost Kyoraku Shunsui's face.

The captain of the Eighth Division, who dodged the attack in a panic, looked quite embarrassed. Strange noises came out of his mouth one after another, and his expression became a little weird.

"Using a gun to fire a hollow flash? Really... what a ridiculous ability."

It is a means of attack that even a captain cannot ignore.

But in the hands of the opponent, it becomes a normal attack that can be launched continuously?
It’s really hard to say this.

Not having the spare time to care about others, Kyoraku Shunsui lowered his hat with a wry smile and spoke in a rather bitter tone.

"I, maybe I really am the kind of person with bad luck..."

Stark responded calmly.

"maybe."

Just like the confrontation between the two sides, similar scenes are constantly happening in this fake Karakura Town.

So much so that except for Aizen Sosuke, who had no intention of taking action, no one could interfere in the confrontation between Arima Shizuya and Yamamoto.

Watching the Zanpakutō in Arima Shizuya's hand begin to transform and enter a released state.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni lightly waved the Ryujin Jakka in his palm, his tone extremely calm.

"Are you not going to use your Bankai to absorb my flames?"

Or.

"Do you think that this level of strength alone is enough to match this old man?"

Faced with such a question, Arima Jing was silent for just a moment, and then...

He just showed a very indifferent smile.

"My opponent is Captain Yamamoto, so I naturally won't have any arrogant thoughts. It's just that I have my own persistence."

If I don't make a breakthrough in some sense, I will never be able to touch a broader landscape.

Since I have decided to walk side by side with Aizen Sosuke.

So……

"This thank-you ceremony for the teachers must naturally end beautifully."

Arima Shizuka was also looking ahead. His gaze rested on the captain's old and sharp face. He chuckled and said.

"Captain, you are the big step I must cross."

"……Yeah."

In an instant, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni recalled all the past events in his mind.

In fact, before starting the operation, the Gotei 13 had already made many plans for today's operation.

Among them, what attracted the most attention and focus was naturally Arima Shizuya's tricky Bankai.

It can completely suppress and engulf the captain's flames, preventing him from exerting his full strength.

It's just like the relationship between the mouse and the elephant in the game of chess. Arima Shizuya's "perfect restraint" seems to be born to overwhelm Ryujin Jakka.

Therefore.

"Let the others do their best to deal with Arima Shizuya. After he is dealt with, we can think about the arrangements for the others."

Prioritize eliminating the strongest fighters so that Aizen Sosuke's side cannot cause any interference to the captain-general.

A veritable decapitation plan.

As soon as this plan was proposed, it was recognized by many captains.

However, this proposal was vetoed by Yamamoto.

"Just to deal with a rookie, you still need to be so cautious... Where is the dignity of the Gotei 13?"

Without Ryujin Jakka, there are naturally other means to be used.

How could the power of death be such an inconvenient thing?
And now seeing that Arima Shizuka did not use Bankai, it might be a little hard to believe...but Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni did feel a little relieved at this moment.

Well done, worthy of the name of Yuanliu.

Then.

"Here we go, kid."

The moment the flowing blade Jakagura in the right hand was swung, it attracted and drove the scattered blazing fire!

It was as if a whirlpool was gathering and forming at this moment. An invisible and intangible force gathered light and heat, which fell from heaven and earth, and rushed towards Arima Shizuya with a heat that was enough to burn everything.

Boom boom boom boom! ! !
The surging vortex of flames, as surging as the sea, enveloped the 'victim' and began to stir and shrink wildly.

Just one swing can bring such power.

The captain did not make any move to pursue the enemy relentlessly, but instead retracted his action and calmly stared at the flames in front of him.

Seeing that the attack was completed, which was enough to cover one-fifth of the land within the barrier and caused influence, the people who were still struggling also looked over.

Do you still fight?
It seems that there is no meaning anymore...

After all, if an attack of this magnitude were to land on me, it would be enough to kill me ten times.

As exaggerated as an ant to an elephant.

A gap that is too great will make people feel like "despair".

So, what was the result?

"I really miss the flame of the mountain master."

Arima Shizuya's voice came out from it, and at the same time, the thin figure also appeared at this moment... in the boundless fire burning the sky.

"This power is filled with destructive intent and can melt the air, spirit particles, and even life, returning them to chaos."

"I have to admire you... Master San, your strength is indeed the face of the Gotei 13."

"This is what is called peak combat power."

The figure flickered vaguely, and as it walked leisurely in the garden, its figure gradually became clearer, until finally...

Breaking through the flame barrier that separates life and death.

The clothes on his body were intact, and even the expression on his face did not change at all.

Arima Shizuka seemed to have transcended the shackles of time and space, and sent herself, who was unharmed a few seconds ago, to this place.

Arima Shizuya calmly turned the Sugara dragon in his hand and spoke in a normal tone.

"It seems that your flame has no effect on me anymore."

After hearing these words, everyone present showed different expressions.

The Gotei 13 reached a consensus almost instantly. ——This is a lie, right?!

Many people have predicted the direction of this war, but no one has ever thought that... Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's methods would lose their effectiveness in this situation!

"Hey hey hey what the hell happened?!"

Even the masked army that was cleaning up the small fry in the distance focused their attention, and Mako Hirako didn't even have the mood to cause trouble for Aizen.

Instead, he stared straight at the battlefield here.

"Hasn't the old man shown his true abilities yet?"

Hearing the shouts of Kensei Muguruma behind him, Mako Hirako responded calmly.

"How is it possible... If you can't tell the priorities at a time like this, then you are unworthy of your position as the captain."

This also means that Arima Shizuka has indeed managed to ignore the effect of Ryujin Jakka.

How did he do that?
He already knew the power of the Sagara Dragon - it was the ability to analyze the information that had been acquired, gradually simulate it, and thus make multi-faceted inferences and find a way to break the impasse.

If it is simply a confrontation with someone, this level of strength can indeed be the deciding factor in breaking the deadlock.

but……

With this power alone, can Arima Shizuya really "break through" the realm of Ryujin Jakka?

Staring at Arima Shizuya in front of him, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni did not ask directly.

The old man disdains low-level communication. Rather than relying on the trust and goodwill of others, he prefers to find answers in his own way.

Not once.

Then cut it again.

Silently clenching his right hand, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni slightly hunched his body and opened his mouth.

breathe.

With just one cycle back and forth, sparks-like starlight flashed around it.

The captain's hands were slightly folded inwards.

With a tense movement, the loose robe wrapped around his body was torn into pieces.

The sturdy body that was revealed was covered with scars and wounds... It was a terrifying body that could make people feel the power at a glance.

It is hard to imagine that this is the torso that an old, skinny man can have.

"The move just now is called Songming."

"And now this move..."

"It's called Burning Hell."

As soon as he finished speaking, the captain-general swung his Zanpakutō horizontally.

The entire Karakura Town seemed to tremble for a moment at that moment.

It seemed as if something invisible was broken by Qingke, and the concept called balance was lost - before some slow-witted people could react.

One by one, pillars of fire rose from the ground, piercing through the sky and earth, as if they were going to penetrate the three realms.

Bump, bump, bump!!!
Continuous explosions came from all directions.

As if the entire world was going to be destroyed, the light, heat and roar continued, making everyone run around like rats facing a natural disaster.

"Get out of the way!"

"It's better not to argue at this time..."

"Saving your life is the most important thing!"

The conflicts between the Arrancars and the Shinigami seemed to be resolved in an instant.

Everyone began to look for a safe place at the same time, and only after they had barely settled down did they feel a little relieved.

It is totally unimaginable that this level of power could come from just one person.

Without paying attention to other people's thoughts and ideas, the captain focused his attention on Arima Shizuya and narrowed his eyes slightly at this moment.

The pillar of fire was like a wild horse being drawn, gathering towards the central area at this moment.

"That is……"

The gathered Arrancars seemed to have noticed something was wrong.

"Aren't we going to include Arima-sama in this?!"

There was not much time to react. It seemed that within the instant of noticing, these terrifying pillars of fire had already surrounded them in all directions.

Burning hell.

Dozens of towering fire pillars surrounding the enemy are gathered together and detonated instantly. The power is enough to turn the land within a radius of hundreds of kilometers into scorched earth.

The captain gave the order mercilessly.

Click...

A slight sound is the forerunner of collapse, but also a sign of something to come.

The loud noise that followed was like a flood after a dam collapsed. Light and heat visible to the naked eye began to swirl, exploding one after another!
There were constant roars and fierce winds.

It was as if they were in a small boat on the sea. Amid the constant bombardment, everyone could feel the world turning upside down...

Aizen Sosuke calmly constructed a spiritual energy net to block the enemy, so that the Arrancars were not tortured. At this moment, they felt more grateful to the prison master.

As for some rare examples, there were originally some very different personalities, some of them were even arrogant.

After facing the horror of Yamamoto, he gradually began to restrain his character and heart.

That god of death is already so powerful, and the ones who can rival him are Aizen Sosuke and Arima Shizuya.

How could I possibly be their opponent?

There has to be a limit to one's arrogance.

However, compared to these messy thoughts, what matters more is the result.

After such a horrific bombing, squeezing, and devastation...what kind of appearance will that man show up in?
Not long after, Arima Shizuya, with a smile on his face, slowly walked out of the thick smoke again.

Still looks unharmed.

This could no longer be described as unbelievable - the Gotei 13, Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro had even noticed something was wrong.

"Isn't it because I dodged the teacher's attack..."

"It's more like some kind of circumvention method."

Different from hacking and stabbing.

Explosions of fire are not something that can be easily avoided.

Of course... the person involved had demonstrated a similar scene a long time ago (leisurely walking out of the explosion range of Soi-Fong's Raikoubi), but that was also under the premise of Bankai.

"In this state, is it really possible to achieve that level?"

Ukitake Jushiro's forehead was already beginning to sweat.

Kyoraku Shunsui hesitated for a moment and did not respond immediately.

With the information currently available, it is difficult for everyone to make further speculations.

Only Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, the person involved, seemed to understand something after seeing Arima Shizuya's expression.

Said in a calm tone.

"You... your power of Shikai is not the same as before, right?"

After a pause, the captain added.

"It's not that I saw through it and dodged the attack."

"But..."

"Adapted to the old man's flame."
