With those words, Grimmjow's spiritual pressure suddenly began surging wildly.
Light blue energy materialized around him, condensing on the silver-white Zanpakutō in his hand.
His eyes locked onto Shigure. He threw back his head and roared:
"Grind, Pantera!!"
BOOM!
His spiritual pressure exploded. His Zanpakutō began dissolving rapidly. His body started transforming.
The white Arrancar uniform fused with his skin, becoming silver-white armor.
Sharp blades sprouted from his arms and legs, gleaming coldly.
His sky-blue hair grew long, cascading to his waist. Blue-green markings appeared on his face, extending to his temples.
His ears became leopard ears. The mask fragment moved from his jaw to his forehead.
Resurrección complete.
He lifted his eyes toward Shigure. His previous arrogance was gone, replaced by razor-sharp focus. His entire presence had changed.
"Now then, Soul Reaper. Use your power to prove to me..."
"Your qualifications."
His cold words carried spiritual pressure through the air.
Shigure's expression didn't change. He calmly drew his Zanpakutō.
He'd known the most direct way to convince Grimmjow was defeating him with pure strength.
He was ready.
Looking up, Shigure smiled faintly:
"That's exactly what I was thinking."
"However, since I'm in a hurry, this battle might end very quickly."
Grimmjow's eyes narrowed. His mouth curved into a grin.
"Then let's see you try!"
BANG!
He stomped forward. His body shot out like an arrow.
The floor cracked beneath his feet. Gray dust flew up.
In an instant, he reached Shigure. Both claws swung in attack.
Shigure didn't flinch. He raised his blade, infused with spiritual pressure, slashing upward at an angle.
Grimmjow crashed both claws toward the sword without hesitation.
After Resurrección, his claws had the hardest Hierro on his body. They were sharper than any blade.
A mere unreleased Zanpakutō couldn't damage his steel claws.
That's what he thought.
SPLURT!!
When his claws struck Shigure's blade, blood spurted instead of steel ringing.
Grimmjow's pupils contracted. Blood sprayed from both palms!
"What?!"
"My steel claws were actually...?!"
While he was shocked, Shigure didn't stop. He swung again with a backhand strike.
CLANG!
Grimmjow's face shifted. He leaped into the air, one leg sweeping toward Shigure's head.
Shigure raised his hand immediately. Palm facing Grimmjow, his spiritual pressure exploded.
BOOM!
Massive impact struck Grimmjow's chest directly.
Focused entirely on attacking, he had no time to react. He flew backward instantly!
CRASH!
His body slammed into stone pillars. Four broke in succession!
Pain shot through his chest. Grimmjow stared in disbelief at Shigure.
This was the power of releasing spiritual pressure?
Spiritual pressure could have this kind of impact force?
While he was confused, Shigure's figure vanished.
What?!
Grimmjow's breathing stopped. His body froze.
The opponent should be using Shunpo. But he felt no spiritual pressure movement at all!
A calm voice came from behind him.
"Where are you looking, Grimmjow?"
His heart jumped. Spiritual pressure exploded from his hands instinctively. Massive blue light trails extended from both claws!
Pantera's Claws!
This wasn't the time to see his target clearly. He used this wide-range attack!
He swung the massive claws backward!
The light trails condensed with sharp spiritual pressure were one of his strongest techniques. They would shred everything they touched!
BOOM!
Pantera's Claws swept past. All surrounding pillars and flooring were destroyed instantly!
Collapse sounds filled the air. Grimmjow spun around at high speed.
His mind went blank.
Behind him were only rubble and gray mist. No sign of Shigure.
In his senses, Shigure's spiritual pressure was still in this direction. But he couldn't see his position.
Shigure's voice appeared behind him again.
"Too slow."
SLASH!
White sword light surged out, slashing toward Grimmjow's back.
Feeling this terrifying pressure, Grimmjow's heart contracted. He tried to dodge using Sonído.
But the slash was too fast!
SPLURT!
Before he could move, the slash struck his back.
The impact sent him flying into the wall.
BOOM! The wall exploded. His body was buried under collapsing rubble.
Rough breathing echoed from within the dust.
This time Shigure didn't use Shunpo. He walked forward slowly, blade in hand:
"Do we need to continue, Grimmjow?"
Suddenly, Grimmjow's spiritual pressure exploded from the dust!
Massive blue-green light appeared. Like a violent tide, it surged out under raging spiritual pressure, crushing everything!
All dust was dispersed instantly. The light rushed directly toward Shigure!
BOOOOOM!!!
The deafening roar mixed with Grimmjow's desperate cry:
"Gran Rey Cero!!!"
