Bleach: Traveling through Soi-Fong, Starting from Bankai

Seeing this scene, Kenpachi Zaraki smiled excitedly:

"Are you Kenpachi, the captain of the 11th Division and the God of Death?"

Although it's rare to call Soi Fong "Kengpachi the God of Death", it's not wrong.

Soi-Feng nodded in agreement and said:

"Yes, it's me. You can call me Soi Fong or 'Finch Kenpachi'."

Soi Fong actually has two names, the title "Sui Fong" passed down from the grandmother of the Bee family, and the title "Kengpachi" associated with the captain of the 11th Division.

But Soi Fong rarely calls herself Kenpachi Bee. She claims it's just a matter of habit.

But only she herself knows that this title sounds like a crazy one.

But it’s different now. Zaraki’s purpose is very pure. He comes for the title of “Kengpachi”.

Then responding to him by the name "Kenpachi" is also a form of respect.

"Although I have seen you before, you were in a coma at that time."

"So this is our first meeting, 'Kempachi of Zaraki'."

Soi Fong's tone was quite serious, which made the soldiers around who were cheering for her a little confused, and their voices became much lower.

They didn't know the hidden truth and all agreed that although the tall and thin man was very strong, as long as the captain took action, he would definitely be able to get rid of him.

But Soi Fong knows the plot clearly.

If we talk about the authenticity of "Kenpachi", the tall and thin man with disheveled hair in front of him is the real "Second Generation Kenpachi".

The kind that is purely based on strength and blood!

So Soi Fong is also willing to show corresponding respect.

In Soul Society, "names" have power.

In the three years since Soi Fong became captain, she has already vaguely grasped this point.

If a name represents a behavior, a way, or embodies some special connotation.

Then if you act in a way that is consistent with the behavior and connotation of this name, things will be more...smooth.

For example, if Soi Fong was "maneuvering stealthily" before, then it would be natural for her to attack from behind.

As long as you carry out backstabbing and assassination, the flow of spiritual pressure will be smoother.

After becoming the captain of the 11th Division, Soi Fong began to prefer head-on combat.

Double A of strength and speed, big opening and closing!

In addition to the changes in techniques and tactics caused by the recasting of Zanpakutō's Shikai and the development of [Shunkan], it is actually also related to the "name".

The 11th Division is a combat division, and "Kengpachi" has the meaning of "mastering all eight thousand styles of kendo and being the strongest god of death."

Then, Kenpachi, the captain of the 11th Division, must not be afraid of any challenge and must dare to face the enemy head-on.

Following this tendency, Soi Fong started to confront the enemy head-on, and she also experienced the same feeling of smooth spiritual pressure flow and cheerful mood.

On the contrary, if Soi Fong deliberately thinks about backstab, the flow of spiritual pressure will become jerky and her mood will become more depressed.

This increase and decrease, like Nel's ability, made Soi Fong suspect that it was the "oath and restriction" of the Shinigami.

But the magnitude is not that large. The degree of increase and weakening is roughly estimated to be at most 5%.

In short, based on her own personal experience, Soi-Fong has a deeper understanding of the saying "names have power."

She even felt that this might be related to the hidden metaphysical "fashion value" of the god of death.

So she changed her original mindset and prepared to face Kenpachi Zaraki early on.

Instructing Byakuya Kuchiki to pay attention to Kenpachi Zaraki in Rukongai was Soi Fong's behavior after her mentality changed.

She knew that this battle was unavoidable.

But the real "Kenpachi" will never escape!

"Hahahahahahahaha, very good, very good!"

"Kenpachi the God of Death, Kenpachi the Bee!"

"You know exactly why I came!"

"Then let us speak with the knives in our hands!"

Kenpachi Zaraki's fighting spirit was aroused. With a crazy laugh, he raised his sword and shouted:

"Skeleton Beast!!"

With a "boom", spiritual pressure burst out violently from Kenpachi Zaraki's thin body!

The invisible air wave knocked many soldiers who were caught off guard to the ground.

There was another explosion, and the cyclone and spiritual pressure surrounding Kenpachi Zaraki scattered, revealing a figure carrying a machete.

"Skeleton beast? What the hell??"

The corners of Broken Bee's eyes twitched as she thought:

"There's no release word, the name isn't right, and yet you got the Shijie?!"

This guy Kenpachi Zaraki actually released his Zanpakuto?

"Isn't this guy's sword called [Yeshai]?"

"and……"

She frowned and looked towards the shooting range in confusion.

I saw a little loli with pink hair, wearing a Shinigami suit that was two sizes too big, pulling the shooting ranger's hair on his back and shouting "Xiaojian, Xiaojian" to cheer for Kenpachi Zaraki.

Yaqianliu still exists.

Looking at Kenpachi Zaraki's Zanpakutō in front of him, although it was released, it was not the giant machete the size of a door panel [Noshai] in the original bloody battle chapter.

Soi Feng had a guess in her mind:

"It seems that during the battle between Hueco Mundo and Nnoitra, Kenpachi Zaraki learned a name for semi-liberation."

The Zanpakutō, released under the name of [Skeleton Beast], has a blade that is only a little over the length of a palm.

In terms of length and size, it is more similar to a kitchen knife cutting the moon, or a snake tail ball that has not been extended.

Soi Fong was convinced that Kenpachi Zaraki was indeed half-liberated.

In Soul Society, Zanpakutō can be half-released.

In the original work, Ayasegawa Yumichika used the name "Fuji Peacock" to half-release his Zanpakuto "Ruriiro Peacock".

According to him, [Lapis Lazuli Peacock] really hates the color "vine".

Therefore, the half-liberated [Fuji Peacock] only has the shape, but lacks the powerful ability of the Kidō-type Zanpakutō.

However, considering that Yumichika himself was a well-known scoundrel in the 11th Division, he did not care about this lack of combat power.

Another example is Abarai Renji.

Because his Zanpakutō didn't quite recognize him, he only told him half of his name [Baboon King Jabimaru] during the Bankai stage.

Poor Renji, he was beaten almost from beginning to end with his half-bankai.

Finally, in the Soul King Palace, he heard from the monk that the real name of his Bankai was [Shuangwang Snake Tail Pill].

Poor Renci, he seems like a strong and honest man.

In the end, the monk next door whispered the real name of his beloved sword.

For a moment, Soi-Fong was overwhelmed with thoughts and was a little absent-minded.

She stayed where she was, which made Kenpachi Zaraki somewhat dissatisfied, and he urged her:

"Hey, hey, you guy, aren't you going to release your Zanpakutō?"

Chapter 74 Concerns and Tactics

Ever since Kenpachi Zaraki fought Nnoitra in Hueco Mundo, he has known how much the power of Shikai increases.

So, as a challenger at this moment, he hopes that his opponent is on the same level as him.

Soi Fong came back to her senses and looked at the half-liberated Zaraki Kenpachi again, with a plan in mind.

She smiled and said:

"Want me to start my shinkai?"

"You have to prove yourself first!"

"Take my blow first!"

Soi Fong took a stance, her hand touched the hilt of the Asauchi sword at her lower back, and she instantly entered the flow state of Iai.

Her breath instantly restrained, and she focused her mind and locked onto Kenpachi Zaraki.

The latter sensed the change in breath, was startled, and quickly raised his knife to defend himself.

"clang!!----"

The sound of metal clashing rang out.

Soibe's shallow sword is a small sword with a short straight blade.

It is much shorter than the one she used to unlock the sparrow, so she wore it behind her waist.

This method of wearing a sword belongs to the stealthy and maneuverable style.

By extending your hand backward, you can draw the knife with a reverse grip.

——This can also be applied.

Soi Fong swung her sword back, and instantly arrived in front of Kenpachi Zaraki, slashing upwards!

Zaraki was frightened by the powerful aura released by Soi Fong in an instant, and chose to press the broad back of the [Skeleton] with his left hand to block the attack first.

Under the gazes of the surrounding soldiers, the two men formed a stalemate.

No, to be precise, it was Kenpachi Zaraki who blocked Soi Fong's backhand Iaijutsu.

Kenpachi Zaraki frowned, somewhat displeased:

"Is this the extent of Kenpachi, the God of Death?"

He just felt that this attack was a bit like thunder with little action.

Although the speed is very fast and the momentum is terrifying.

However, the force transmitted from the blade still made him feel that his defensive posture was a bit of a waste of talent.

Soi-Fong smiled quietly, turned around and backed away, then started to speak politely:

"Not bad, worthy of being the guy who could fight all the way to the third seat."

"Kenpachi Zaraki, you are very strong and worthy of me releasing my Zanpakutō."

Because the shallow attack is a seal on the Zanpakutō, Soi Fong, who has second-level spiritual power, only has third-level spiritual pressure when in the shallow attack state.

Therefore, the attack just now only had the speed that Soi Fong was proud of, but it did not have the destructive power of the dual attributes of thunder and wind.

Of course, this is because she learned Iai from Yamamoto, and she herself is also a veteran.

Therefore, the momentum released before the attack still made Kenpachi Zaraki somewhat alert.

So, Soi Feng launched a carefully planned attack.

She wanted to make Kenpachi Zaraki think that "Souzai is much weaker than imagined."

The reason is that Soi Fong remembers Kenpachi Zaraki's analysis.

In the self-sealed state, Kenpachi Zaraki will subconsciously "adapt" his strength in order to enjoy the fun of fighting.

Simply put, he would adjust his level to the same level as or lower than his opponent, and then defeat him in the fun of fighting.

This was the reason why Unohana Retsu's heart was broken when he fought with him.

Zaraki, who is far stronger than Unohana, keeps reducing his own strength to accommodate Unohana Retsu in order to enjoy a rare battle in his life. In the end, he accommodates her too much, seals too much power, and loses to her instead.

As a result, Zaraki himself didn't realize he was being accommodating and thought the woman was very strong and worthy of respect.

Unohana Retsu saw through Zaraki's attempt to accommodate her, and his faith was broken, so he gave up martial arts and turned to medicine.
