Long ago, Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck's lieutenants, Pesche Guatiche and Dondochakka Birstanne, unexpectedly encountered Nnoitra Gilga within Las Noches.
At that time, Nnoitra, along with his own lieutenants, was mocking the female high-ranking members of Las Noches, with Nelliel being a primary target of his ridicule.
As Nelliel's friends and lieutenants, Pesche and Dondochakka could not tolerate this and immediately confronted Nnoitra.
What began as a reasoned argument quickly escalated into a heated verbal exchange, which swiftly devolved into a physical altercation.
However, Nnoitra's overwhelming power made the fight exceedingly short. In mere seconds, Pesche and Dondochakka were severely injured, and Nnoitra and his lieutenants departed the scene.
Due to the fight's brevity and minimal spiritual pressure fluctuations, few within Las Noches were aware of the incident.
Nelliel chose not to publicize the event, instead planning to personally avenge her friends during the Las Noches ranking tournament.
"Furthermore, as a member of Las Noches' Women's Association, I intend to give you a thorough beating on behalf of all our female comrades," Nelliel added.
From the viewing stands, Yachiru Kusajishi, Lilynette Gingerbuck, and other female members of the Las Noches Women's Association cheered loudly for Nelliel, with the volatile Lilynette showing exceptional enthusiasm. She even drew her curved blade, one foot on a chair, repeatedly shouting, "Nelliel, pound him! Pound him until his own lieutenants don't recognize him!"
Initially, only the female members of Las Noches cheered, but gradually, male members joined in. Eventually, even those unaffiliated with Las Noches, such as Hirako Shinji and Hiyori Sarugaki, began to cheer for Nelliel.
The entire arena seemed to be united against Nnoitra! It was undeniably clear that Nnoitra was extremely unpopular within Las Noches.
Seeing the entire arena turned against him, a bead of sweat trickled down Nnoitra's forehead. Suddenly, he felt a chill down his spine; he turned to see Yusuke's faintly amused gaze.
Feeling guilty, Nnoitra silently ascended the battle stage, inwardly cursing Nelliel for revealing the incident to Yusuke in his presence—it was tantamount to a direct betrayal.
He noticed from the corner of his eye that Yusuke had summoned Ulquiorra, the one in charge of punishment, for a whispered conversation, undoubtedly concerning Nnoitra's impending punishment.
Even without knowing the specifics, Nnoitra guessed this meant some form of punishment was coming.
Facing Nelliel, who had also entered the arena, Nnoitra took a deep breath, pushing aside his anxieties.
"Regardless, I must win this battle! I absolutely cannot let that damned woman, Nelliel, surpass me!" Nnoitra thought fiercely.
He drew his weapon, his expression turning serious. Although Nelliel was only the Octava Espada, he knew she would be a formidable opponent.
Nnoitra's weapon was a uniquely shaped polearm, composed of two large, interlocking crescent blades, clearly possessing considerable destructive power.
Nelliel drew her longsword. From a weapons perspective, Nelliel was at a significant disadvantage.
After Yusuke declared the match to begin, Nnoitra and Nelliel instantly clashed, their immense spiritual pressure colliding, creating powerful gusts of wind across the arena.
From the initial exchange, the audience realized this battle was on a completely different level than anything they had previously witnessed. Even Luppi, somewhat inflated by his victory over Yammy, was shocked by the spiritual pressure fluctuations, instantly understanding that his own strength was only at the bottom of the Espada ranks.
In the center of the arena, Nelliel expertly parried Nnoitra's attack with her longsword, her smaller blade meeting the crescent edge of Nnoitra's weapon. Despite the size disparity, Nelliel's superior spiritual pressure allowed her to hold her own.
Nnoitra grinned cruelly, extending his long tongue, generating a yellow spiritual energy wave.
"A Cero from the tip of his tongue?"
Nelliel's eyes flickered, but she didn't dodge, seemingly unconcerned by Nnoitra's attack.
Seeing Nelliel's seeming arrogance, Nnoitra sneered, unleashing his spiritual pressure. The yellow Cero struck Nelliel.
However, the expected impact and scream never came. Nnoitra realized Nelliel had opened her mouth and absorbed his Cero entirely.
"What?! How could she simply absorb my Cero?!" Nnoitra exclaimed in disbelief.
Before he could react, Nelliel, having absorbed the Cero, unleashed a far more powerful attack.
"Cero Doble!"
A grey Cero, almost double the spiritual pressure of Nnoitra's yellow Cero, erupted from Nelliel's mouth. A significant portion of that spiritual pressure was clearly Nnoitra's own.
Nnoitra, unable to evade, was struck directly. A massive shockwave erupted from his body, scattering spiritual pressure and dust across the arena, obscuring the view of the audience.
Nelliel didn't stop her assault; she charged into the dust cloud, her longsword raised, aiming to finish Nnoitra.
The violent clash of their blades sent a shockwave through the dust, gradually clearing the view.
Nnoitra and Nelliel were locked in a rapid close-quarters battle. Nnoitra appeared extremely battered, his clothes torn, his body covered in numerous wounds—some from Nelliel's sword, others from the Cero's energy.
Despite this, his spiritual pressure hadn't diminished significantly; he still possessed the strength to fight.
"His defenses are incredible! That level of spiritual pressure in a Cero... if we were hit directly, we'd be annihilated! This is just the Quinta Espada, and he already possesses this kind of power?!"
Hirako Shinji frowned from the audience.
