Death: Then stood in the sky.

“Master.”

Chapter 182 The old lady is intact!

"Hozuki-maru?" Madarame Ikkaku exclaimed in surprise.

When will Zanpakuto be able to be released directly without the Shinigami's permission?

"What is this?" Ayasekawa Yumichika broke out in a cold sweat. This was not beautiful at all, but he couldn't care less about such things in the face of such a terrifying situation.

鐺——

The knife and its scabbard collided.

The wooden scabbard was instantly severed in half and fell to the ground.

Noticing this, Madarame Ikkaku clicked his tongue.

"Oh, one jiao."

Hozuki Maru chuckled. "You seem a bit disheveled. What's wrong? Is this all you've got?"

"Stop arguing!"

Madarame Ikkaku gritted his teeth and roared, "You bastard, is that really Hozuki Maru? How could my Hozuki Maru look like this? How could it have so much fur!"

I'll kill you!

Hozuki Maru roared, "You've seen what I look like countless times already!"

"How can you prove you are Hozuki Maru?"

"Oh? You don't believe me? Then you can try to verify it."

Madarame Ikkaku became interested. "How do you verify it?"

Hozuki grinned. "Fine, use whichever way you like best."

Upon hearing this, Madarame Ikkaku grinned and laughed, "If you really are Hozuki-maru, then you'll definitely be able to keep up with my movements."

Hozuki Maru: "I see. Is that it? I understand now."

The wind began to swirl.

The two looked at each other.

An invisible atmosphere of dread builds up.

I don't know who swallowed first, followed by a series of throat rolling sounds.

Many Grim Reapers were surrounding them, their eyes fixed on the two of them.

The next moment.

"Hozukimaru!!!" Madarame Ikkaku roared at him, "Let me see your resolve!"

“Ichikaku, I should be the one saying that!” Hozuki Maru shouted back.

Ikkaku Madarame: "They're here!"

Hozuki Maru: "Oh!"

He stepped forward.

Madarame Ikkaku was also rushing towards them.

Is it coming?

Everyone stared wide-eyed.

next second.

"Yo cha cha cha—"

"Chirp chirp chirp—chirp chirp chirp—"

The two of them stood on tiptoe and danced comical steps like ballet dancers, even doing a high split with their toes touching.

bang.

A group of people fell to the ground, their jaws nearly dropping.

Renji Abarai, who was lying on the ground, was silent for two seconds, and then burst into laughter.

"What are you laughing at!" Ikkaku Madarame's eyelids twitched as he turned his head.

"I'll kill you!" Hozuki Maru roared at Abarai Renji in return.

Then came a series of splattering sounds.

Madarame Ikkaku quickly pinpointed the source of the sound.

Ayase Gawa Yumichika's head bobbed up and down. When he saw him looking over, he tried to tense up for a second, but then burst into even louder laughter.

"Hahaha--"

Madarame Ikkaku wants to kill someone, no joke.

Tiptoe dancing is so cool, but these people are just making things worse.

Stop laughing!

Madarame Ikkaku roared, and many people around him tried to hold back their laughter, but some still laughed.

He looked over.

It was Matsumoto Rangiku, who was covering her mouth and laughing so hard she was shaking.

Ikkaku Madarame gritted his teeth, "Lieutenant Rangiku!!!"

How despicable!

Don't these people understand aesthetics?

"Sorry, I just couldn't help it." Matsumoto Rangiku gathered her long, loose hair, a smile still lingering on her face.

There is no way.

Two muscular men were dancing ballet and poking each other's feet with their toes.

This scene is absolutely beautiful.

"You bunch of bastards..."

Madarame gritted his teeth.

I'll kill you all sooner or later!

Not far away, Ayasegawa Yumichika was still laughing.

Laughing.

All you do is laugh!

Especially you, just wait, tonight, I'll use Hozuki Maru to shove your ass and relieve myself!

Thinking of this, Madarame Ikkaku suddenly spoke up, "Change back, Hozukimaru."

Unexpectedly, Hozukimaru shook his head decisively, "I refuse."

"Huh?" Madarame Ikkaku was stunned.

don't want?

Refuse to turn back into a Zanpakuto and return to his side?

What does this mean?

“Ikkaku, I really hate you, you bastard,” Hozuki Maru said.

Madarame Ikkaku looked at him, his expression slightly surprised.

"So I'm not going back." With that, he turned and left.

"Wait a minute!" Ikkaku Madarame shouted, trying to stop him, but he grabbed at empty air.

Hozuki-maru slid out in a comical manner.

It's a tiptoe dance.

Despite the somewhat jarring art style, the tiptoe dance is undeniably effective.

"Don't even think about leaving!"

Matsumoto Rangiku shouted and drew his sword to slash at Hozuki Maru.

Although she didn't know what had happened to Hozukimaru that caused him to suddenly materialize and break free from Madarame Ikkaku's control.

But letting him leave now is clearly not a good option.

"Foolish woman, you actually dare to attack me." Hozuki sneered disdainfully, ignoring the slash that was about to hit him.

next moment.

Under Matsumoto Rangiku's shocked gaze, her Zanpakuto emitted a grayish-white light.

The gray cat has been materialized!

She was a woman whose face bore a resemblance to both Matsumoto Rangiku and Yoruichi, like a combination of the two.

She has emerald eyes, wears a pink cat costume, has a pair of deep red cat ears, and a cat tail that swishes back and forth.

"Don't you understand, you idiot?"

Hozuki-maru grinned. "I'm not the only one who's lost control."

After saying that, he laughed and skipped away.

At this moment, Ayasekawa Yumichika's expression changed slightly.

The Zanpakuto at his waist suddenly burst forth with a burst of intense green light mixed with other colors.

Then, a man as beautiful as a peacock appeared there.

He exclaimed, "A peacock wisteria?"

His Zanpakuto paused for a moment upon hearing this, then sneered, "Fujikojaku? What an ugly name."

That's the point.

The man called Fujiko looked at Ayase Yumichika and said, "Just as ugly as you, Yumichika."

He casually glanced at the people around him and elegantly waved the feathers on his body.

Then, before Ayasegawa Yumichika could touch him, he hopped away from where he stood.

"What...what's going on?"

Ayase Gawa Yumichika wore an expression of disbelief.

"Grey Cat?" Matsumoto Rangiku was in no better shape; she stared at her materialized Zanpakuto, stunned and frozen in shock.

"Hey, Rangiku, why that expression? Haven't you seen me countless times before? Is it all for that so-called—Bankai?"

The gray cat asked in a drawn-out, teasing tone, as she reached up and tucked her red hair behind her ear—an action identical to Matsumoto Rangiku's.

"You're so surprised just because you saw me in real life this time?" The gray cat ears twitched mischievously.

She glanced at Matsumoto Rangiku and disappeared from the spot.

"Don't even think about escaping!"

Rangiku Matsumoto gritted her teeth and immediately gave chase.

The wind whistled in my ears.

The two were extremely fast.

In the blink of an eye, they had crossed several kilometers away.

This is a forest area.

The gray cat stood on a tree, looking down at her from above, as if it had been waiting for Matsumoto Rangiku's arrival.
