One Piece: Kaido's adopted son, starts with the Eight Gates Formation.

"This spiritual pressure is..."

Hitsugaya Toshiro's face turned deathly pale instantly.

"Wow...so strong! Even stronger than the first Kenpachi from before!"

"Is this... the power of the Espada?"

Kuchiki Byakuya gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, his eyes extremely serious.

He could sense that the quality of the spiritual pressure of that Arrancar after its release was far superior to that of an ordinary Captain-level Arrancar, and even faintly touched upon a higher realm.

Wow! This guy really kept it a secret!

BIGMOM stared at the demonic figure in the sky, his eyes gleaming with greed.

"I really want to extract his soul and taste it!"

The center of the battlefield.

Facing this terrifying spiritual pressure, Akainu felt a thousand times more pressure than the others!

He felt as if he had fallen into a cold, endless deep sea, surrounded by suffocating waters called "despair," which threatened to extinguish his heart, which burned with the flames of justice!

however.

Akainu is, after all, Akainu.

He is the Navy's top combat force, who can sink his comrades along with their refugee ships without hesitation in order to uphold "absolute justice"!

His will had long been forged by that extremely stubborn belief, making it harder than a diamond!

"Hmph! Playing tricks!"

Akainu's face showed no fear, only a more intense rage!

"No matter what monster you become, before my 'absolute justice,' you will only meet your end in being burned to ashes!"

"Hound of the Underworld!"

He roared, and the jet-black dog head that had merged with the golden Amaterasu was not affected by the aura of despair. Instead, it burned even more fiercely, with the determination to burn everything, and bit down hard on Ulquiorra!

"Too slow."

After being released from his Zanpakuto, Ulquiorra's voice became even more hollow and inhuman.

His figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

Akainu's seemingly inevitable "Ghost Dog" missed its target, and the terrifying energy blasted into the distant barrier, leaving behind a bottomless crater.

"What?!"

Akainu's pupils contracted; he hadn't seen the other's movements at all!

"Here."

A cold voice rang out above his head.

Akainu looked up abruptly and saw that Ulquiorra had appeared above him at some point, looking down at him with the same gaze one would give an ant.

"Black Cero".

In Ulquiorra's hand, a ball of energy, darker and more ominous than any previous Cero, materialized.

That is the ultimate Cero, which can be used only by the Espada after they have released their Zanpakuto, and is powerful enough to distort space!

boom!

A jet-black beam of light descended from the sky!

Its speed and power were so great that Akainu had no time to dodge!

"hateful!"

Akainu roared, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and pushed his Armament Haki and the power of the Magma-Magma Fruit to the limit, forming an incredibly thick magma shield!

"A massive fireball!"

Boom-! ! ! !

The black Cero struck the lava shield squarely!

A terrifying explosion swept across the entire scene once again!

This time, Akainu couldn't block it as easily as before.

He felt an irresistible, terrifying energy, filled with the power of "decomposition" and "annihilation," frantically assaulting his defenses!
