Aizen has been freeing his Zanpakutō from the beginning, which at first glance seemed like a perfect opportunity.
Because the necessary condition for someone to be tricked is to let the other party see the process of liberation.
In other words, if Aizen did not return the blade to its original state and free it again, Kurosaki Ichigo would not be attacked at all.
But what makes Ichigo Kurosaki despair now is... the other party may not need the so-called 'Kyouka Suigetsu' if they want to kill him.
The reason why Aizen is so fearless in the face of him is because of his own absolute strength!
"Don't be too arrogant, Aizen."
boom--
At this moment, an angry voice came, followed by a pillar of fire rising into the sky.
A tornado of burning flames swept across the earth, protecting Ichigo Kurosaki.
"hehe……"
Aizen chuckled and stepped away from the flames.
Calmly looking at the old man standing in the burning flames.
The old man was holding a blazing long sword in his hand, and the feather cloth he was wearing was flying under the influence of the rising air current.
"Is the captain finally willing to take action? But it's also meaningless. You, like these guys, can't even be called a fighting force."
Aizen smiled and looked at the expressionless old man, "As long as I defeat you, no one can stand in front of Kurosaki Ichigo, right?"
"I said... don't be too arrogant, kid."
Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni's tone was extremely low. As he spoke, the flames began to dissipate, but the terrifying spiritual pressure as vast as the sea still kept the surrounding temperature constant.
"I didn't take action before... I was just worried that I would involve others in the flames. After all, my full strength... is not something they can bear.
So - do you think you can kill me with your level?"
"I didn't think about whether I could kill you, but..."
There was a bit of contempt in Aizen's tone, "I've already done it."
"nonsense!"
Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni roared angrily, raising the Zanpakutō in his hand, the blade was filled with flames.
As long as this sword is swung out, it seems to be able to annihilate everything it sweeps across.
However... the flame suddenly dissipated.
puff--
The sharp blade mercilessly passed through Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni's abdomen.
Aizen had arrived in front of him at some point, holding the knife that had penetrated his body, and chuckled: "Look, right? Captain."
"snort!"
Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni was slightly startled when he heard this, but he quickly came to his senses.
While snorting coldly, he reached out and grasped Aizen's knife-holding arm without hesitation: "I caught you... Aizen Sosuke!"
"How interesting..." Aizen seemed to have no fear on his face as he mocked, "What can you do if you grab me? After all, is the hand you grabbed really my hand?"
"I'm not old enough yet...to even feel the spiritual pressure from the Zanpakutō piercing my body."
Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni responded with a gloomy look, "Even if your senses can be confused, you can't affect my spiritual pressure. You are too arrogant, Aizen! This is the moment I have been waiting for.
!”
"Boom—boom—"
As the words fell, countless blazing pillars of fire suddenly rose from the ground around them. The countless pillars of fire formed a ring and sealed the two people in the center.
"!!!"
Feeling the terrifying aura coming from the flames, Aizen seemed slightly startled.
"This is……"
"'Blazing Hell', I deliberately showed my flaws to prepare for this moment." Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni answered slowly.
"So that's it," Aizen's smile returned to his face again, "Did you secretly arrange it while your subordinates were being killed? You are really cunning..."
"So what?"
Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni shouted coldly, "You will die with me in the 'blazing hell'."
"!!"
Kurosaki Ichigo was slightly shocked when he heard this.
It seems that in order to ensure that he can kill Aizen, Captain Yamamoto is planning to catch him and die together!?
"Quickly step back, Kurosaki Ichigo."
Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni glanced at the surprised Kurosaki Ichigo, and said with some emotion, "I already know that I can't change anything, but if I choose who will dominate the new world, then it will be you."
Acceptable."
"Old man...you..." Kurosaki Ichigo hesitated to speak.
"Okay, let's leave..." Yamamoto Genryanagi Sai Shigekuni did not give Kurosaki Ichigo a chance to speak, and continued, "Do you want this world to fall into Aizen's hands?"
"Oh? Don't you care about the life and death of other team members?" Aizen seemed to still be confident until now, "They have all lost the ability to move. If they stay here, they will all die."
"They... have long since awakened." Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni's eyes were gloomy and he stared angrily at Aizen, "To kill a great evil, this is the will of the Gotei Thirteenth Team! I agree.
I, Kurosaki-boy, must guide this world in the right direction!"
As he spoke, the temperature suddenly rose sharply.
Terrifying spiritual pressure spurted out from Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni's body. The old man was like a volcano about to erupt, ready to explode.
"ah……"
"!?"
However, at this moment, a strange voice sounded from behind Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni, making him slightly startled.
Is it Ichimaru who has never made a move? No, it’s not Ichimaru’s reiatsu...
He suddenly swung his sword and slashed behind him. The blazing blade wrapped in flames cut through the air, as if it was cutting everything!
"呲——"
"!!?"
"How can it be?"
Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni looked back at the sudden appearance with a bit of horror in his eyes.
It was Wanda Wise, who was supposed to be fighting with Liu Che Quan Xi.
At this moment, Wanda Wise has entered the state of returning to the sword, and his being able to come here means that Liuche Quanxi has been defeated.
However, what surprised Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni was not the failure of Rokukaru Kensai... but that this Arrancar was able to take his blazing slashes with his bare hands!
Why...the razor-sharp flames disappeared?
This was the biggest doubt in his mind at the moment.
"let me tell you……"
As if he could see the confusion in Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni's eyes, Aizen pulled away a safe distance and explained with a sneer, "Your Ryuken Wakahu is the strongest fire-type Zanpakutō, there is no doubt about it.
.
If it were a real head-on confrontation, I might not be sure I could defeat you."
"So...you never thought about confronting me from the beginning?" Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni looked extremely solemn.
"Isn't this a matter of course? All I want is to be 'standing in the sky', and power is just an add-on to this process for me."
Aizen smiled contemptuously, "So before I really stand in that position, I don't need to take the necessary risks. Wanda Wise is the gift I specially prepared for you.
If Kyon gives up all other abilities and only strengthens one ability, he can fight against your so-called strongest fire-type 'Zanpakutō'.
Wanda Weiss is the only Arrancar who has been transformed. I asked him to give up everything and only use his ability to target you. His name is...'The Prince of Fire Extinguishing'."
"Put out the fire...Prince?"
Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni was slightly stunned as he looked at the Arrancar in his home blade form looking down at him.
Just by hearing this name, I knew it was meant to target him.
"Yes, the 'Prince of Fire Extinguishing'. For this ability, Wanda Weiss lost all his speech, knowledge, memory... and even his sanity. Your flame will be completely sealed in front of him."
Aizen's ruthless voice came.
"Faced with the ability he gained through his own transformation, there is nothing you can do. Goodbye... Yamamoto Genryusaku."
"Ahh——"
As soon as the words fell, the sluggish Wanda Wise rushed towards the old man in front of him crazily as if he had received a signal.
"Hmph! There's nothing you can do?"
Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni snorted angrily.
Crunch——
The sound of bone exploding came from his clenched fist arm.
At some point he had put away his Zanpakutō and was using his bare hands!
boom--
The next moment, a sonic boom sounded, and Wanda Wise's figure instantly broke through the sound barrier and flew backwards under this fierce punch.
"Arrogant boy, do you really think you can kill me by sealing the Blade Ruohuo?"
Clenching his fists, Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni stared angrily at Aizen, "You're so naive. Why do you think I can serve as the captain of the Gotei 13 for a thousand years? That's of course because
, even if a thousand years have passed - no god of death stronger than me has appeared!"
call--
The howling wind rushed towards Aizen.
After Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni finished speaking, he immediately possessed himself and punched, and his violent fist roared like a beast.
‘One bone’.
But just when his fist was about to hit Aizen, a figure of Wanda Weiss who was knocked away actually used the 'Sound Turn' to stand between him and Aizen.
boom--
Another fierce punch hit Wanda Wise.
His figure quickly drew a parabola in mid-air and finally hit the ground.
But what was surprising was that he stood up again as if nothing had happened.
No...it shouldn't be considered as if nothing had happened. At this moment, the steel skin everywhere on Wanda Wise's body could be seen clearly broken and oozing blood.
In fact, the side of Wandawise's abdomen was penetrated by the first punch, and the second punch broke his jaw and caused blood to continuously spurt out of his mouth.
But the strange thing is that this doesn't seem to affect his actions.
“Ahhhhh——”
There was a strange sound coming out of his mouth as always, and he returned to Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni again.
"..."
Yamamoto Genryu Saijugoku looked at the Arrancar standing in front of him with a solemn face, "I have no mercy... It seems that in addition to being able to seal the flame, your props are quite resistant to beatings..."
"Thank you for the compliment, Captain," Aizen chuckled upon hearing this, "Then... do you want to continue to struggle?"
"snort."
Hearing this, Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni snorted again and did not answer. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Wanda Weiss.
He slowly unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his ferocious body covered with knife marks.
"Since 'One Bone' can't solve you...how about I make you suffer a little bit...?"
"Huaaah——"
Wanda Wise still made strange noises and did not answer.
"It's so sad..."
Yamamoto Genryanagi Sai Shigekuni looked at Wandawise, who had completely become Aizen's 'prop', with pity in his eyes.
"Does it seem like the ability to think and speak has really been taken away?"
boom--
What responded to him was a harsh sonic boom.
boom--
Wanda Weiss punched without warning, smashing the ground where Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni was originally standing with one blow.
Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni, who jumped into the air to dodge, looked at this scene with calm eyes, "Are there no preparations or signs at all? He is indeed a reformed guy."
Before he finished speaking, Wandawise's fist struck again.
This time, Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni just turned sideways slightly and let the waving fist slide past his side.
Then, he stretched out his arm and violently hugged Wanda Wise's punching hand.
"snort!"
Accompanied by a cold snort, Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni suddenly exerted his strength.
Click——
Wanda Wise's arm was violently broken, and blood spurted out.
"Ahhhhhhhh-"
This time, Wanda Wise finally made a fairly normal sound, a scream.
Aizen didn't deprive him of pain.
"Ah ah ah ah ah--"
After the pain, Wanda Wise seemed to be irritated.
Click——
There was a cracking sound, and the two protrusions on Wanda Wise's shoulders that looked like tumors shattered like eggshells.
Countless twisted arms stretched out from it.
Then several sonic booms sounded, and the outstretched arms turned into afterimages, and began to continuously swing their fists at the old man in front of them.
"!!"
It seems that no matter how powerful a person is, he cannot escape the law that two fists are invincible against four hands in close combat. Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni was caught by Wanda Wise under the bombardment like a violent storm.
His arms were caught by two of the countless arms stretched out by Wanda Wise.
Looking at Wanda Weiss who was slowly approaching in front of him, Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni's expression became solemn.
"ah!"
boom--
While roaring, the countless arms stretched out from Wanda Wise's shoulders punched almost at the same time, and several arms hit Yamamoto Genryanagi Sai Shigekuni's already injured abdomen mercilessly.
A violent collision sounded, but after that...
Nothing seems to happen.
"What? It's not working anymore?"
Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni allowed himself to be grabbed by his arms and asked expressionlessly.
The next moment, before the other party could answer, his bound hands suddenly exerted force.
puff--
The sound of tearing came.
The two arms that restrained Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni were suddenly torn off, and blood spurted out.
Then he casually shook off the two severed arms hanging on his arms and stared at the Arrancar in front of him expressionlessly.
"Fortunately...you don't look like a child now. So I can - kill you without any scruples."
Click——
In an instant, there was a sound like the space was shattering.
Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni's unreserved fists hit Wanda Wise in front of him almost simultaneously.
‘Double bones’.
The power of swinging fists with both hands together can be said to be a perfect interpretation of what Yamamoto Genryu Sai Shigekuni means by saying that one plus one is greater than two.
The fists, which were at least twice as powerful as the 'One Bone', hit Wanda Wise mercilessly in his dull eyes.
