Boom!Boom!Boom!...
Listen to that nonstop rumbling.Look up—two giant warriors fill the sky, blocking out the sun.
All of the Soul Society was in an uproar.Shinigami everywhere were shouting in amazement.
"This is unbelievable! A fight between two godlike warriors!"
"I didn't think Li Huo was this powerful—he's actually holding his own against Captain Komamura's Bankai!"
"More than that... it feels like the blue warrior is even stronger than Komamura's Kokujo Tengen Myo'o."
"It's true—Komamura's Bankai looks like it's being overpowered. Could it be... is Li Huo about to beat a captain!?"
All eyes were locked on the battle, full of tension.
No matter who wins, this fight will leave a mark in their memories forever. It was that intense.
It wasn't that they didn't believe in Captain Komamura—it's just that this battle was so overwhelming, so unforgettable.
After all, this was a clash between two giant warriors, both over 100 meters tall.
Even the other captains couldn't help but watch.
"Geez… seriously?" Kyoraku Shunsui muttered, rubbing his temples. "Are they planning to destroy the whole Seireitei!?"
Even from a distance, he could feel the gusts of wind from the clash.
You could only imagine how wrecked the center of the battlefield must be. Whole districts were probably reduced to rubble. Rebuilding it would take forever.
"He's gotten stronger again..."Byakuya Kuchiki stood silently, watching the giants.
He could sense it clearly—Nanaya's spiritual pressure had grown by at least 10% since the last time.
"Could this be a special Hollow technique Urahara Kisuke created to counter Aizen?"
Ichimaru Gin narrowed his eyes at the fight, an amused smirk playing on his lips.
He slowly drew his Zanpakuto.
Unlike most, Gin's sword was short—more like a dagger than a blade.
He aimed it at one of the giant warriors, Susanoo. He gave the blade a small shake, preparing to strike—
But then, his expression changed.
He froze.
In that moment, it was as if he saw a pair of glowing purple eyes—the Rinnegan.
Cold. Distant. Godlike.
Eyes that looked down on all life like it was nothing.
"No way… Did he just spot me?"
He looked toward the top of Susanoo, and saw a pair of blood-red eyes staring right back at him—eyes different from the Rinnegan, but just as terrifying.
"Impossible…"
"So that's him? Yoruichi Shihouin's student?"
Sui-Feng's sharp gaze locked onto Susanoo.
She tapped her foot once on the rooftop and vanished in an instant, moving so fast she left behind a sonic boom.
She was heading for the battlefield at top speed.
"Tch… Why the hell is it so far away!?"
Zaraki Kenpachi growled, watching the two giants from a distance.
He glanced around, clearly annoyed.
Without another word, he unsheathed his sword and slashed at the wall in front of him.
"Screw it. I'll just cut straight through!"
Boom…
...
BOOM!!!
The two giant warriors kept clashing, their swords striking again and again.
But Nanaya was starting to lose patience. His eyes, fixed on Kokujo Tengen Myo'o, grew colder with each second.
"This is getting annoying!"
Suddenly, the walls and floor around him crumbled into spiritual particles, all of them rushing into Susanoo's back like a river.
With so much spiritual energy pouring in, Susanoo's armor began to burn with blue spiritual flames.
"Amaterasu!""Flame Control!"
With both powers active, Susanoo's sword was covered in black, unquenchable fire.
It looked even more terrifying than before.
Nanaya pointed the blade straight at Komamura's giant and swung it down without a second thought.
"RAAARGH!!"
Komamura Sajin let out a mighty roar.
Kokujo Tengen Myo'o raised its blade to block.
Slash!A flash of black light cut through the sky.
In the next moment, Susanoo's sword cleaved through Komamura's weapon, slicing it clean in half. The broken half smashed into the ground with a massive crash.
Cough!
Komamura spat out a mouthful of blood.
A Shinigami's Zanpakuto is connected to their very soul. If it's damaged, they get hurt too.
As the giant sword shattered, Kokujo Tengen Myo'o began to fade away. Its massive form disappeared into the sky, dissolving into the spirit of Seireitei.
"Captain Komamura... lost...?"
The Shinigami watching were stunned.
They all knew the enemy—Li Huo—was powerful. But still, in their minds, the captains were the strongest beings.
And now, right before their eyes, Komamura had been defeated head-on. Clearly. Completely.
An undeniable loss.
"With wounds like that, he won't be getting up for months…"
Nanaya looked coldly at Komamura, then stepped out of Susanoo.
In an instant, both he and Susanoo vanished from the battlefield.
"Damn it! Stop right there!"
Sui-Feng was the first to arrive, shouting as she dashed after Nanaya at full speed.
In seconds, both of them disappeared into the distance.
All that was left behind was rubble, ruins—and the heavily injured Komamura Sajin.
"Ugh... it's her? The girl obsessed with Yoruichi?"
Up ahead, Nanaya glanced back at his pursuer and groaned to himself.
"She's the worst person to run into…"
If I knew I'd be coming to the Soul Society, he thought bitterly, I should've made Yoruichi write her a love letter or something.
For someone like her, a love confession from Yoruichi might've been more effective than any weapon. She might've even joined my side.
Behind him, Sui-Feng's eyes were blazing as she watched the way Nanaya moved.
"That footwork—Yoruichi's Shunpo!"
She clenched her fists.
"So she really did train someone in the World of the Living... and even taught him her most advanced speed technique…"
"I'm her closest student! I've been with her the longest!"
"I should've been first!"
Fueled by jealousy and rage, Sui-Feng released her spiritual pressure and yelled:
"Sting all enemies to death—Suzumebachi!"
Her Zanpakuto transformed into a golden bracelet around her wrist. A golden chain trailed from it, and the blade changed into a small stinger, like a bee's.
"Wait!"
Nanaya suddenly stopped and pulled out a few photos from his pocket.
"Sui-Feng! I know you're Yoruichi's biggest fan. How about I trade these photos for my freedom?"
He waved them teasingly in the air.
Sui-Feng slowed down, her eyes drawn to the photos.
She stared.
And gulped.
Photos of Yoruichi… in her cat form!?
And then—Yoruichi in human form...
And then—
"H-Huh!?! Photos of her… without clothes!?"
"...HUHHH!?"
Her eyes went wide with shock and fury. Her face turned red.
"What did you DO to my Yoruichi-sama!?"
Nanaya blinked in confusion, quickly looking at the photo again.
"Wait, I thought I hid that one!"
"You're dead!"
Sui-Feng slammed her foot into the ground and appeared in front of him in an instant, thrusting her stinger blade forward.
A glowing black butterfly symbol appeared where she struck.
This was Suzumebachi's power: if she hits the same spot twice, the target dies instantly.
It was a deadly two-hit-kill technique—one of the most dangerous abilities among the Zanpakuto.
"Ugh! What a pain—her and that ability!"
Nanaya wasn't in the mood to fight her. He dodged and sped away, flashing through the air.
Sui-Feng barely had time to react before all she could see was his back disappearing again.
"Don't you run away from me!"
She shouted and chased after him full-speed—
Then suddenly stopped.
Something had caught her attention.
The wind had blown the photos out of Nanaya's hand... and now they were scattered on the ground.
She hesitated.
Then... she swallowed hard.
And turned back.
"Just for a second…"She bent down to collect Yoruichi's photos.
Meanwhile, Nanaya reached the 2nd Division's barracks, his face dark.
After asking around and using a little hypnosis, he found his way to Sui-Feng's room.
"Did she really think it'd be that easy to steal from me?"
But as he opened the door, his eyes went wide in disbelief.
"Whoa... Isn't this a bit much!?"
