"What's going on! Ikkaku Madarame, don't run away!"
Hozukimaru saw that it was Kenpachi Zaraki rushing over, and without caring about losing face, he darted to Madarame Ikkaku's side in a flash.
They are interested in fighting, but it depends on who their opponent is.
As a Zanpakuto that has been by Madarame Ikkaku's side for many years and has witnessed firsthand how ruthless Kenpachi Zaraki is, he backed down faster than anyone else at this moment.
"Captain, this is Hozukimaru, he's no longer rebellious..."
Madarame Ikkaku never expected that after fighting for so long, it wouldn't be as effective as the captain coming back and swinging his sword.
However, as long as the Zanpakuto is back, nothing else matters.
"Azure Peacock, would you like to spar with the captain?"
Ayasegawa Yumichika looked at the still hesitant Zanpakuto, Ruriiro-kojuku, and beckoned the idiot back.
Look at Hozuki-maru, that's real intelligence!
Does this idiot not know that when the captain comes, he'll really beat it to a pulp?
"cut..."
The beautiful, iridescent peacock has returned, but it still looks quite displeased.
At this point, the only Zanpakuto still preparing for battle were Sode no Shirayuki, Kazeshiki, Haineko, Suzumebachi, Tenken Myōō, and Hyōrinmaru.
Feimei and Hebimaru, who were also on the battlefield before, are now standing beside their respective masters. Although they still have quite a temper, they know how to distinguish friend from foe during battle.
The remaining six Zanpakuto spirits, seeing the battlefield suddenly cleared out, instantly turned pale.
Those two guys who ran away were so useless!
However, when facing Kenpachi Zaraki and Sasuke Uchiha, apart from Hyōrinmaru who had no memories, the others were a bit timid.
Because these two are really a bit too ruthless.
"Captain Zaraki, leave Sode no Shirayuki to me. I'll take her to find Rukia. You can fight the rest of them as you like."
Sasuke surveyed the current situation, raised his purple Zanpakuto, and pointed it directly at Sode no Shirayuki, who was dressed in pure white and was the most beautiful among them.
It must be said that the Zanpakuto of the Kuchiki family all seem to possess a certain aesthetic appeal.
Unfortunately, I'm not the type to be gentle and chivalrous towards women.
"Zanpakuto, you won't even have a chance to regret this!"
Kenpachi Zaraki, delighted, swung his sword and charged.
He has slashed captains, Shinigami, Hollows, and humans, but he has never slashed a humanized Zanpakuto.
"Sleeve White Snow, your battlefield is over here!"
Sasuke moved lightly and appeared in front of Sode no Shirayuki.
"It's no use, you can't stop him..."
Sode Shirayuki looked sad. She knew very well that Muramasa was just using them as pawns, pawns set up for a certain plan.
"Who told you I was going to stop you? I just want to take you back to see Rukia. As for your original plans, that has nothing to do with me."
Sasuke raised his hand and cast a Six-Stroke Light Prison, trapping Sode no Shirayuki before appearing in front of her.
He tapped her head with his finger, a flash of light appeared, and a pure white Zanpakuto appeared in his hand.
In the face of a Zanpakuto, his strength was displayed even more directly.
Since a fight was impossible to break out, he simply sheathed his Zanpakuto, grabbed the hilt of Sode no Shirayuki, and stood there watching the show.
Compared to his relatively mild approach, Kenpachi Zaraki just swung his sword wildly, as if he were cutting melons and vegetables.
Meanwhile, the various Zanpakuto around him unleashed their power against Kenpachi Zaraki.
Without needing to suppress his own power at all, Kenpachi Zaraki unleashed his spiritual pressure, even shredding Hyōrinmaru's Hyōten Hyakka Sō (Hyōten Hyakka Sō) into dust...
Chapter 221 Kenpachi Zaraki's Ruthlessness and Mayuri Kurotsuchi's Triumph
"Hyōrinmaru!"
Hitsugaya Toshiro received the message and rushed over, thinking that he was going to fight Hyorinmaru himself, but when he arrived, he saw that his Hyorinmaru had been slashed.
Fortunately, the spirit of a Zanpakuto doesn't die immediately after being cut. Just as Hyorinmaru was about to continue attacking Kenpachi Zaraki, Toshiro Hitsugaya seized the opportunity to intercept him.
His Zanpakuto is naturally under his control.
"Keep your distance!"
Kenpachi Zaraki, seeing that he had lost another opponent, snorted angrily and charged back at Tenken Myōō.
The battle was initially at a normal pace, but after Hitsugaya Toshiro intercepted Hyōrinmaru, Kenpachi Zaraki's attacks became even more ferocious, completely turning into a situation where every strike was deadly.
When the other captains and vice-captains arrived after receiving the news, they found that all but the few Zanpakuto that had returned to their masters had been shattered.
The sight of a pile of blades and handles scattered on the ground filled the captains, who had arrived late, with immense disappointment.
Especially Captain Soi Fon of the Second Division, whose Zanpakuto spirit should be the smallest in size, was shattered the most tragically at this moment.
"Oh dear, Captain Zaraki is as ruthless as ever..."
Kyoraku Shunsui breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that his own Katen Kyokotsu wasn't there, and was able to greet Zaraki Kenpachi warmly.
"I heard that you were severely injured by this kind of trash, and even the Seireitei was destroyed like this?"
Kenpachi Zaraki has never been able to use his Shikai. Although no one can say he is weak, you can still occasionally hear some unfriendly jokes about him.
He doesn't think he's taking revenge now, but he still feels pretty good after shattering the Zanpakuto spirits of these captains.
"Captain Zaraki, you've shattered all your Zanpakuto! How are we supposed to fight now?"
Soi Fon looked at her Zanpakuto, now shattered into pieces, and her feelings went beyond sadness; she was truly enraged.
"What does it matter? If it's broken, we can just put it back together. Mayuri Kurotsuchi will be willing to help for free."
Kenpachi Zaraki slung his Zanpakuto, which he had never yet released, over his shoulder, pointed at Mayuri Kurotsuchi who had arrived late, and told the others who had broken their Zanpakuto to go find him.
"Captain Zaraki really knows me well. Gentlemen, let me take my Zanpakuto back. It's not a matter of whether you want to or not, but that only I can repair it."
Mayuri Kurotsuchi's laughter was already unpleasant, but now it was even more smug and arrogant, which made the captains and vice-captains around him even more irritable.
That's true, though. It's not a question of whether they want Mayuri Kurotsuchi's help or not; they simply have no other choice.
"Where is Rukia? I'm going to return Sode no Shirayuki to her."
Sasuke turned to look at Renji Abarai.
He had no intention of having any contact with this person from the 12th Division; the world of this type of scientist was beyond his comprehension.
"She went to the Sixth Division to find the captain, but the captain is missing. She must have gone back to the Kuchiki family to look for clues."
When Renji Abarai mentioned Rukia, he suddenly thought of Byakuya Kuchiki, who had gone missing.
A strange sense of crisis arose, and without caring about what others were doing, he turned and ran towards the Kuchiki family's house.
"Ichigo, let's go together!"
Sasuke watched Renji Abarai leave in a flash, and quickly called Ichigo Kurosaki to follow.
The two quickly headed towards the Kuchiki family's residence. The other captains and vice-captains were puzzled, wondering what their tension was all about.
"Two noble families were wiped out during the last invasion by the travelers, leaving only the Kuchiki family. And then there's Byakuya Kuchiki's sudden disappearance..."
Mayuri Kurotsuchi picked up the Zanpakuto fragments on the ground, while also giving a warning to the people around him.
He has studied many corpses of the Shihōin clan members over the past six months, and perhaps it won't be long before he can produce more members of the Kuchiki clan in the laboratory.
Unfortunately, the Tsunayo family didn't even leave behind a single corpse; he went to check many times but gained nothing.
"Oh no, we have to go find the Commander-in-Chief!"
Kyoraku Shunsui also realized the seriousness of the problem and quickly found someone to help him find the captain's whereabouts.
However, they can't just find it whenever they want; they always need to gather clues first.
Muramasa said back then that it was Katen Kyokotsu and Sogyo Riku who performed the sealing, and they have never seen those Zanpakuto.
While they were busy searching for the Captain-Commander, Sasuke and Ichigo Kurosaki appeared outside the Kuchiki family's gate and were stopped by the guards.
Ahead of them was Renji Abarai, who had already disappeared from sight. Judging from the guards' attitude, they were used to Renji Abarai running towards the Kuchiki family.
"They should be alright, right?"
Kurosaki Ichigo leaned against the wall, looking at Sasuke who received the same treatment, feeling that he could ask him anything he didn't understand.
"No, the Kuchiki family isn't that easy to get into trouble with, and... if I remember correctly, the Zanpakuto named Muramasa originally belonged to a member of the Kuchiki family."
Sasuke glanced at the Sode no Shirayuki in his hand and briefly mentioned Muramasa and Kuchiki Hibiki from a hundred years ago.
"I still feel it's very dangerous. It's unlikely that only one or two of the four great noble families of Soul Society will be in trouble..."
With his hands between the wall and the back of his head, Ichigo Kurosaki still felt that the Kuchiki family could not continue to live peacefully.
He didn't know what happened a hundred years ago, but he knew about the targeting six months ago, and the words Aizen left behind when he 'ascended to heaven'.
The Soul King's Revenge?
When the Soul King was mentioned, Ichigo Kurosaki thought of himself again.
If he really has some connection with King Ling, then is King Ling's revenge also related to him?
However, another problem arose.
What exactly did the four noble families do to warrant the Spirit King's genocidal revenge?
"Let's wait and see. The only thing I'm sure of right now is that Byakuya Kuchiki is not in danger."
Sasuke shook his head. He was satisfied that he had led Ichigo Kurosaki down a different path, but he didn't intend to let him know the specifics about the Soul King too soon.
At the very least, we should wait for Yhwach to come out; until then, let him try to guess.
Let's just consider it as leading him down a path filled with passion and the joy of solving puzzles.
"Was he hiding it on purpose?"
After asking the question, Ichigo Kurosaki shook his head without waiting for Sasuke's reply.
He didn't believe that someone like Kuchiki Byakuya could be a bad person, but at a time like this, hiding away probably only meant two things.
