Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

The onlookers turned into bloodthirsty spectators, shouting and cheering incessantly.

I am full of anticipation for the upcoming battle.

Seeing this, Naraku grinned and showed the same smile: "Since this is your request, then I will reluctantly grant it."

He picked up Yachiru from his shoulder and casually tossed her aside.

The little girl did a perfect 3600-degree spin, landing precisely on Ge Kuang's shoulder, then pulled out a handful of konpeito (Japanese candy) from somewhere and gestured:

Do you want some?

Ge Kuang paused for a moment, then nodded happily.

Kenpachi Zaraki stared intently at Naraku Sora's figure with his small eyes, his intense killing intent almost solidifying, causing the surrounding air to freeze.

In an instant, an even more terrifying spiritual pressure erupted.

Such an exaggerated scene stunned Saito Immortal, who had just managed to stand up.

I thought that was already the monster's full power, but I didn't expect it to be so fierce.

Whose subordinate is this?

Just then, the haori fluttered in the strong wind, its neat and sharp strokes, like the "11" cut with a knife, came into view.

"The Eleventh Division..."

Saito took a deep breath, and a smile returned to his face.

"So he's that madwoman's successor."

After saying this, she seemed to suddenly realize something and looked around warily.

Only after confirming that the familiar figure was not nearby did he breathe a sigh of relief.

If we were to ask who was the strongest among the original Gotei 13, it would definitely be Yamamoto Shigekuni.

But if we were to say who Saito fears the most, it would be none other than the first captain of the 11th Division, Unohana Yachiru.

In terms of threat level, the first Kenpachi was the one that all the other first Kenpachis feared.

Just as she was thinking this, the two figures collided solidly.

Kenpachi Zaraki opened his chest, and although he was relatively thin, he was strong and powerful. Every time he swung his sword, he stirred up a terrifying impact like a tsunami.

Naraku Sora spread his arms wide, bare-handed, with a maniacal smile on his face.

He showed no fear in the face of Kenpachi Zaraki's attack.

As the blade fell, Naraku Soryu stepped forward and threw a punch.

One bone!

The violent fist wind formed a shockwave visible to the naked eye, instantly tearing apart Zaraki's spiritual pressure.

Naraku Sora went straight to meet the blood-stained serrated longsword.

It's like a moth drawn to a flame.

"Die!!"

Kenpachi Zaraki gripped his swords with both hands and unleashed a full-on New Year's greeting sword technique, slashing down towards Naraku Sora's head.

boom!!

The clash of swords and fists erupted with a deafening roar, the immense impact spreading like ocean waves in the visible aftershocks, the howling winds that followed utterly shattering the ground.

Feeling the pure clash of power, Naraku Sora's smile grew increasingly satisfied.

This is the ultimate enjoyment that comes from fighting.

Zaraki, you're not bad!

As the muscles in his arms bulged, a sound like a bowstring tightening rang out, and a power as deep as an abyss was unleashed, all of it surging into the serrated longsword.

A hint of surprise flashed in Kenpachi Zaraki's eyes, and he was just about to say something.

He was sent flying backwards, carving a deep and long trench in the ground.

Saito was dumbfounded when he saw this.

I thought Kenpachi Zaraki was already brave enough, but compared to Naraku Sora, he seems to be completely inferior.

This guy is no longer human at all.

What kind of monsters are the Grim Reapers these days!

Naraku Sorcerer grinned, revealing gleaming white teeth. Black and red lightning crackled across his body, and his black hair flew wildly as he transformed into a demon from hell.

In the deep pit, Kenpachi Zaraki's body was covered in cracks and bleeding profusely.

But he felt no pain at all; instead, he excitedly gripped his serrated longsword and launched a counterattack.

Another simple and unpretentious collision.

At such close range, Naraku Sora clearly saw the fighting spirit burning in Kenpachi Zaraki's eyes. The golden spiritual pressure seemed to stain his pupils, and his whole person underwent a different change.

"Is the lockdown completely lifted?"

Naraku was somewhat surprised to notice that the force surging from the other side had become even stronger.

Under his arduous training, Kenpachi Zaraki seemed to have completely broken free from his previous constraints and revealed his true self.

So what should follow next is...

Under absolute suppression, Kenpachi Zaraki's desire to become stronger reached its peak.

next second.

Golden spiritual pressure surged into the sky, and within it, a skeletal phantom was outlined.

Kenpachi Zaraki's smile reached its peak of madness. He gripped his serrated swords with both hands in reverse, recklessly squeezing out his remaining strength, launching a counterattack like a dying beast:

"Devour, wild sun!"

At that moment, a bright smile appeared on Kusajishi Yachiru's face.

The original serrated longsword has transformed into an extremely exaggeratedly huge blade, bursting with dazzling light.

Kenpachi Zaraki gripped his swords with both hands, swung his arm in a horizontal slash, and the spiritual pressure surrounding Nosara instantly surged, creating a hurricane that shook the heavens and the earth.

The entire training ground was filled with his spiritual pressure.

Seeing this, Naraku's eyes lit up, and his right arm leaned back, the power of the demonic path gathering into a blazing torrent that burst forth from his shoulder, unleashing a terrifying force comparable to a rocket engine.

The fist pierced through the air, accelerating to an unbelievable speed in an instant.

collision!

The scorching wind howled deafeningly, and black and red lightning danced wildly, radiating in all directions.

The violent impact was like a heavy hammer, shattering Kenpachi Zaraki's offensive and bringing his heavy, mountain-like sword to a standstill!

Time seemed to stand still for a moment, and everything came to a standstill.

The next instant.

A violent wind swept outwards from the two of them, the earth trembled violently, and the golden spiritual pressure beam continuously dissipated under this attack.

When the dust settled, Kenpachi Zaraki staggered, his tall body battered and broken, as if he had been trampled by a hundred Tauros.

There wasn't a single good piece of flesh on his entire body.

Even so, Kenpachi Zaraki's face showed no sign of pain; his gleeful smile appeared particularly ferocious on his savage face.

"Next time—"

"I will definitely kill you..."

After saying this, the man collapsed to the ground, unable to get up again.

The exaggerated combat performance stunned the onlookers for a few seconds, then they all cheered.

"Captain-Commander Naraku has won!!"

"As expected of the prison warden!!"

"Our leader, we respect and admire your teeth!!"

Amid cheers, Kusajishi Yachiru vanished from Utamaro's shoulder and instantly appeared beside Zaraki Kenpachi, giving him a quick check-up.

After confirming that the person wouldn't die immediately, he grinned and bowed deeply to Naraku Sora beside him.

"Thank you, Xiao Kong!"

Naraku Sora looked at the pink-haired little girl in front of her, reached out and ruffled her soft hair, and suddenly remembered something.

If I remember correctly, Kusajishi Yachiru is part of Kenpachi Zaraki's Bankai.

If Kenpachi Zaraki wants to continue becoming stronger, then Yachiru Kusajishi is destined to disappear.

It's such a shame that such an adorable little girl has disappeared.

However, it seems unlikely that restraining Kenpachi Zaraki from becoming stronger.

Is there a way to have the best of both worlds?

Naraku Sora stroked his chin, as if deep in thought, but at that moment, he caught a glimpse of Kuchiki Hibiki cheering in the crowd.

My eyes lit up immediately.

I wonder if Muramasa has any solutions.

Several soldiers quickly came up and skillfully lifted Kenpachi Zaraki, heading towards the Hell Hot Spring.

They do this process several times a day; they've gotten used to it.

Naraku Sora then went to Kuchiki Hibiki's side, put his hand on his good brother's shoulder, pointed to Yachiru who was playing with Utako, and gestured:

"Xianghe, can you figure something out?"

Kuchiki Hibiki was stunned for a moment, then stared wide-eyed at him.

However, he has now been infected by someone's meme, and his already limited intelligence has almost completely disappeared.

After looking for a long time, I still couldn't find anything unusual.

Finally, Muramasa appeared and reminded him: "It is a Zanpakuto, or more precisely, a manifestation of a portion of the Zanpakuto's power."
