Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

With a forceful clench of his five fingers, a tremendous clawing power surged forth like a raging tide, reaching deep into Kenpachi Zaraki's throat.

Kenpachi Zaraki's face instantly turned red, and his breathing became increasingly rapid.

His eyes widened, his face filled with astonishment and resentment.

However, Aozaki Mayuki did not give him any chance to catch his breath.

Suddenly, he exerted force with his arm and swung his hand, sending Kenpachi Zaraki flying high into the air.

Kenpachi Zaraki lost his balance in mid-air, swaying precariously like a kite with a broken string.

Aozaki Mayuki leaped into the air, her movements as light and agile as a bird, instantly reaching a position even higher than Kenpachi Zaraki.

Immediately afterwards, he adjusted his posture in mid-air, preparing to end the battle...

Instead of using his long sword to strike, he unleashed dozens of powerful punches with overwhelming force, raining down on Kenpachi Zaraki like a storm.

In the blink of an eye, Kenpachi Zaraki's body was smashed beyond recognition, a truly gruesome sight.

To everyone else, Kenpachi Zaraki's body only paused briefly in mid-air.

Then, like a cannonball, it sank deep into the ground with that immense force.

Kenpachi Zaraki lay on the ground, his eyes wide open.

His body twitched involuntarily twice, and then his eyes lost their luster, becoming dull and lifeless.

Despite Kenpachi Zaraki's tenacious vitality.

However, having suffered severe injuries to multiple parts of his body and a heavy blow to his brain, he could only helplessly lose consciousness.

Looking at Kenpachi Zaraki embedded in the ground, Mayuki Aozaki seemed to float down from the sky like a butterfly in flight.

His movements were elegant and graceful, like a noble young master gently lifting his long sword and sheathing it.

In fact, Aozaki Mayuki also wanted to see just how strong Kenpachi Zaraki really was.

However, he did not have the time to help Kenpachi Zaraki train his Zanpakuto.

In the original story, when Kenpachi Zaraki learned his Shikai, he went through countless life-or-death trials and died countless times.

Aozaki Mayuki didn't have that much time and energy to spend on him.

For Aozaki Mayuki, as long as he can fulfill his promise to Unohana Retsu and become a true "Kenpachi", that will be enough.

Moreover, if Kenpachi Zaraki still can't win after learning Shikai, and then he develops Bankai, he might regret it.

After all, even he himself didn't know at that moment that the little girl who had always followed him was his Bankai!

The members of the Eleventh Division were stunned for a moment before they came to their senses.

The battle is over.

The team members erupted in a deafening cheer.

"The captain won!!"

"As expected of Kenpachi Aozaki!!"

"Lord Shingetsu is the strongest!!"

Amid the cheers, the bald man and the flamboyant man hurriedly rushed to Kenpachi Zaraki's side.

After confirming that the latter was still breathing, the two breathed a sigh of relief.

However, immediately afterward, they all looked at Aozaki Mazuki with the same expression of disbelief.

Over the years, they have followed Kenpachi Zaraki and experienced countless battles.

Whether in a one-on-one fight or a group brawl, they never won against this terrifying man.

The guy in front of me, named Aozaki Mayuki, won so easily.

Moreover, he hadn't even released his Zanpakuto yet, and there wasn't even a speck of dirt on his body.

Both of them were described by Liu Shui as strong individuals who "had some skill".

It was clear from that thrilling battle that the woman with the number "four" on her clothes and Yachiru were absolutely right.

This Death Captain is far more powerful than his own boss.

For him, this battle was just an easy game!

"Well……"

Just as Madarame Ikkaku was caught in a dilemma, wondering whether he should step forward to save face.

Kenpachi Zaraki suddenly opened his eyes slowly.

Although he was covered in injuries, he did not remain unconscious for long.

"So he's still alive, Ah Jian!"

Kusajika Yachiru shouted happily and then jumped onto his neck.

Kenpachi Zaraki ignored the girl on his shoulder.

He slowly stood up, looked up at Aozaki Mayuki, and revealed a sinister smile.

"Captain Death is indeed very powerful."

Are all the members of the Gotei 13 like you?

He muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"I really want to go to that place and have a good fight with them."

"However, the battle isn't over yet, let's continue."

He reached for his knife.

Aozaki Mayuki walked over.

He first picked up the long knife, then gently touched the blade with one hand, as if admiring the murder weapon.

"Ok?"

Kenpachi Zaraki frowned, a hint of displeasure appearing on his face.

He didn't want to lose the knife yet.

He prefers fierce battles involving swords and knives to hand-to-hand combat.

"Give me back the knife, and let's continue!" he growled in a low voice.

"Give it back to you?"

Aozaki Mayuki turned her head, her gaze sweeping meaningfully over Kusajishi Yachiru before finally returning to Zaraki Kenpachi.

"Before that, it seems we still have some things to resolve."

He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, speaking in a half-smile.

"what's up?"

Kenpachi Zaraki asked in confusion.

"You haven't forgotten, have you? I won, so you have to come with me."

"Aozaki Mayuki said with a smile."

With Gin Ichimaru in charge of academics and Kenpachi Zaraki in charge of combat, he could rest easy.

If the Eleventh Division receives a similar mission again in the future...

All that's needed is to send Gin Ichimaru to pilot Kenpachi Zaraki; there's no need for him to take action himself.

"You won?" Kenpachi Zaraki was taken aback. "When did this happen?"

"Just now, while you were unconscious, I could have taken your life."

Aozaki Mayuki chuckled lightly.

"What? Is this man who calls himself Kenpachi trying to renege on his promise?"

Chapter 268 Telling the Teacher

Is that so?

Kenpachi Zaraki turned to look at Yachiru Kusajishi on his shoulder, a hint of confusion in his eyes, as if he really didn't know what had happened, and asked.

Kusajishi Yachiru nodded excitedly and replied in an enthusiastic tone:

"That's right, that's right! That big brother was amazing! He knocked Ah Jian unconscious in one go. Wow, that was so cool!"

"I see... then I admit defeat."

After listening, Kenpachi Zaraki scratched his head and turned to look at Maki Aozaki.

"Alright then, I'll go with you."

"Can we continue fighting now?"

Aozaki Mayuki shook her head and explained earnestly:

"That won't do. I have important things to do. My teacher gave me a task."

Upon hearing the word "teacher," Kenpachi Zaraki's eyes lit up instantly.

He pressed further:

"A teacher? You have a teacher? Is he stronger than you?"

Aozaki Mayuki thought for a moment, then nodded:

“In some situations, he can even leave me completely defenseless.”

In fact, these days, whenever she spars with the old man, Aozaki Mayuki no longer retaliates easily.

I was afraid I wouldn't be able to control my strength and might accidentally break the old man's fragile body.

The old man was always deeply moved after each sparring session.

He would always rub his reddened hands, marveling at his silly apprentice's thick skin.

On the one hand, he stubbornly insisted that his old bones were still quite strong, telling Aozaki Mayuki to bring it on.
