Bleach: Traveling through Soi-Fong, Starting from Bankai

"After a few young captains went crazy after their squads were wiped out, I rarely used this trick anymore."

"But after I thought about it, what they said made sense."

"If you want to protect the court, then you must also respect the bodies of your companions."

Broken Bee: ...

She somewhat regretted having ears.

When some words entered my mind and I realized what I heard, it was too late.

"No wonder... Yamamoto had such a bad reputation before the founding of Seireitei."

"The leader of the assassin group is really in the literal sense..."

Imagine that you are an ordinary Shinigami on Yamamoto's side.

You follow this bald man known as the "Devil of Fire" on his battles across the country.

In a brutal battle, there is your team mate who is both your teacher and friend, your equally matched competitor, and your childhood sweetheart.

All died and turned into cold corpses.

You have no intention of fighting anymore and want to collect their bodies and send them back to their hometown for burial.

The bald man shouted:

"Don't panic, kid, I'm here to help you!"

One move, "City on Fire", roasted your three companions.

Before you could cry out your heart-wrenching cry, your elder brother, best friend, and lover all made a "click" sound at the same time.

Then they exploded and flew into the sky, turning into the most gorgeous fireworks...

No, it makes full use of it and transforms it into the most violent flaming sword.

This is the fucking [One-Knife Cremation]!

"What a hellish life ordinary Death Gods lived back then..."

"But it's better than Yamamoto's enemies who went to hell."

The little theater in Soi Fong's mind continued to play, completing the ordinary life of a Shinigami before the Gotei Corps.

His face suddenly looked constipated, like an old man looking at his phone on the subway.

Yamamoto's words continued:

"I used this move [One Blade Cremation] not to kill that Arrancar."

"Although this move is powerful, with only a few dozen corpses, it cannot unleash its full power."

As if to prove Yamamoto's words, the flaming sword that was piercing the sky gradually went out.

It showed Sal Apollo in the center of the field, his body charred black.

His face had been burned into a mess.

But the physiological structures in the neck and between the ribs were opened like fish gills, constantly opening and closing to breathe.

As the gill-like structure flapped, [Super-Speed Regeneration] was also taking effect.

Soon, Sal Apollo's face recovered, and he was shocked and frightened:

"You...you, how is it possible?!"

"Why does a mere ghost path have such great power!?"

To Yamamoto, Sar Apollo's words sounded like the meaningless roars of wild beasts.

Therefore, he ignored the regenerating Sal Apollo and continued to speak to Soi Bee:

"This Hado, [One Blade Cremation], is based on my previous Bankai."

"Before the establishment of the Soul Society, the Bankai I painstakingly developed, without any regard for the lives of my companions, simply burned everything around it."

"While it is extremely powerful, it is also like the correct use of [One Blade Cremation], and it does not conform to the Way of the Court."

"So, after establishing the Seireitei, I gradually destroyed it and forged my Bankai anew."

Soi Fong realized that what Yamamoto had reforged was the legendary [Zanka-dachi].

"I see. From an AOE that burns everything, to an additional state within the Fire Blade that allows for ultimate single-player combat?"

[Zanka-dachi] is the same as Ichigo Kurosaki's four-in-one large kitchen knife in the later period. Whoever receives it will die.

If we have to distinguish them, one has infinite magic damage and the other has infinite physical damage.

Yamamoto continued:

"But, it has the spirit and form left behind by [One Blade Cremation]."

"It's the Bankai that I painstakingly crafted when I was young."

"Even if it's destroyed, with the remaining spirit of the Ninety-Sixth Broken Path, we can temporarily and hastily restore 70% to 80% of the Bankai."

Yamamoto turned around and faced Sal Apollo who was about to recover fully.

Then, he held the knife in both hands and raised it to his chest, with the tip of the knife pointing upwards, and said:

"Suifeng, I've been observing, so I know."

"You are not satisfied with your Bankai and are considering how to adjust it."

"You've been gradually gaining inspiration and a general direction lately, but you're still lacking contrast."

"This Bankai of mine once pleased me greatly, but it was inappropriate at the time."

"I'm showing it to you now for your reference."

He opened his narrowed eyes slightly, and his face became as stern as granite:

"Swastika."

"The Great Fire Sword!"

Flames gushed out violently from the blade, forming a funnel shape that was thin at the bottom and thick at the top, shooting straight into the sky.

"boom!!!!"

No, this is not called gushing, it should be called jetting.

Soi Feng swallowed, trying to moisten her throat.

Only then did I realize that I could no longer produce any saliva in my mouth.

The gas breathed through the mouth and nose is also hot and pungent combustion exhaust.

Soi Fong finally realized what "raging fire" meant.

The bald old man in front of me was holding a sword in his hand that was like a rocket booster, spraying out plasma flames as high as a hundred meters.

It was not until it was about to touch the sky that it turned into a raging, violently shaking flame.

The flames shot straight into the sky, as if they were going to burn through it.

Soi Fong realized belatedly that the dark sky had been illuminated by the flames, as bright as day.

"cut--"

Yamamoto shouted and stepped forward to strike.

The hundred-meter-high plasma flame, like a burning pillar of heaven being chopped off, instantly collapsed.

Sar Apollo roared and tried his best, but it was even more ridiculous than trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm.

A dazzling white light flashed before Soi Feng's eyes.

When the vision was restored again, the surrounding flames were burning continuously, and the Xuye Palace was cut from top to bottom like butter.

At the cross section, the rock turned into slurry, shining bright orange.

He took a few steps forward and looked in the direction of the attack.

——The gravel was melted into glass, forming a long corridor of molten glass.

"Let's go."

Yamamoto's voice came, and he had already sheathed his sword.

"Mission accomplished, let's return to Soul Society."

Chapter 202 Yamamoto's Considerations

"Old man, what's wrong with you?"

"Let's talk about the youthful enthusiasm?"

Kyoraku Shunsui filled Yamamoto's empty glass before refilling his own.

His hat had been put aside and his face was already a little drunken.

"Or……"

"Don't you want to let the four new captains take the spotlight and prove that you're still as skilled as ever?"

A total of nine captains were dispatched for this expedition to Hueco Mundo.

Except for Shattered Bee who was slacking off at the beginning and contributed about 1% of the output.

The rest of the story became purely a show of Yamamoto's personal skills.

It was hard for Kyoraku Shunsui not to interpret that Yamamoto wanted to show off his muscles to the new captains.

"Humph!"

Yamamoto snorted heavily to show his dissatisfaction.

Then he raised his glass and drank it all.

Kyoraku Shunsui chuckled and drank it all with Yamamoto.

This is the secret room used by the First Team for meetings.

When used, even Chojiro Suzuki cannot appear nearby.

Although both Yamamoto and Kyoraku were affected by Aizen's [Mirror Flower and Water Moon].

However, the two people who had already learned the mechanism of action from Shattered Bee were not worried.

No matter how powerful the ability of [Mirror Flower and Water Moon] is, it has its limitations.

——There must be an “object” to replace.

Aizen controls the five senses of the hypnotized subject through complete hypnosis.

It allows the appearance, sound, texture, touch and taste of an object to be replaced by the person or object specified by Aizen.

Besides, such hypnosis is not without flaws.

In the original work, Aizen used his Zanpakutō to transform himself into his own corpse and faked his death to escape.

But when the captain of the fourth division, Unohana Retsu, checked the body, he realized that something was wrong.

As the first generation Kenpachi who once killed countless people in the 11th Division, Unohana Retsu has come into contact with countless corpses.

Therefore, she easily noticed that something was wrong with Aizen's body.

It was only because she lacked the information about the "complete hypnosis" mechanism of [Mirror Flower and Water Moon] that she failed to discover the truth.

In the end, she just hid her doubts in her heart and carefully observed the changes in the situation.

Therefore, Kyoraku and Yamamoto cleared the area around them, preventing any spiritual life or living creatures within a 100-meter radius from approaching.

He also told Chojiro Suzu that no matter what happened, no one, including Suzube, would be allowed to enter this area.

In case of emergency, the Quebu will strike a clapper to warn people.

According to Kyoraku's speculation, when facing people with low spiritual pressure, Aizen can cognitively transform his own existence into that of an insect or a grain of sand.

But he faced the deliberate defenses of Kyoraku Shunsui and Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

Aizen needs to transform into a spirit life at least at the level of an ordinary soldier in order to hypnotize the five senses of the two without them noticing anything unreasonable.

Either Aizen becomes a Shinigami above the rank of soldier and approaches the two of them.

Or Aizen could designate a spiritual being above the level of an ordinary Shinigami and have Kyoraku and Yamamoto treat it as Aizen.
