"Yo, long time no see, Gin!"
When Kyoya's voice sounded by his ear, Gin knew he probably couldn't escape this beating.
Immediately, Gin stopped moving.
"As expected, I knew. Besides you, probably no one in this world would be so bored as to come to Hueco Mundo to establish a force."
Looking at Kyoya appearing before him, Gin shook his head.
"Bored?"
Kyoya raised an eyebrow. "You actually say I came to Hueco Mundo to establish a force because I was bored?"
"Isn't it?"
The corners of Gin's mouth turned up. "If not bored, why would you leave the Seireitei to create the Revolutionary Army in the Rukongai?"
"..."
Kyoya clicked his tongue. "Isn't this because my sentiments are noble, I couldn't bear to see people suffering, so I brought them new hope?"
"Indeed, it cannot be denied that because of the Revolutionary Army's appearance, the Rukongai has become much better than before."
"But, Captain Kyoya, from what I know, within the Revolutionary Army, besides providing the ideology, those who practice the Revolutionary Army's ideals are all others."
"If you truly possessed such noble sentiments, you wouldn't throw everything to others, but would personally practice the Revolutionary Army's ideals!"
Kyoya narrowed his eyes.
It had to be said, Gin was truly clever.
He wasn't a research-type genius like Aizen or Kisuke, but Gin's observation of details and understanding of human nature was no less than that of Kisuke and Aizen.
Indeed, as Gin said, whether it was the Revolutionary Army or the City of Daylight, to Kyoya, they were merely tools to complete achievements in the "Pirate Achievement System."
In fact, because the Revolutionary Army's route achievements had been fully claimed, in Kyoya's heart, the importance of the City of Daylight now surpassed that of the Revolutionary Army.
This was also why, after Aizen entered Las Noches, Kyoya finished arranging Revolutionary Army's tasks and immediately came to Hueco Mundo to safeguard the City of Daylight.
However, Gin didn't know Kyoya wanted to complete 'achievements' to obtain system rewards, so he thought Kyoya was bored, wanting to try new things through various means.
Or perhaps, Kyoya was experimenting with other methods to make himself stronger.
Just like Aizen, who reached the Shinigami limit, created the Hogyoku, intending to obtain Hollow power to break the soul's boundary and ascend to a higher dimension.
Gin guessed Kyoya probably also reached the Shinigami limit.
Only, Kyoya's realm in swordsmanship made his strength surpass Aizen's by a notch.
Plus, the boost from the strongest light-type Zanpakuto probably made Kyoya comparable to Yamamoto now.
But obviously, Kyoya also had higher pursuits.
However, Gin didn't know if Kyoya was also researching Hollowfication, nor did he want to expose it, so he simply attributed everything to Kyoya's 'boredom'.
"Gin, after not seeing you for a while, it seems your eloquence has improved."
"Perfect timing. I haven't used this power since obtaining it. Let me see if your strength has also grown as much as your eloquence!"
"As expected..."
The smile faded from Gin's face.
'New power... was Kyoya referring to Hollowfication?'
Narrowing his eyes, Gin focused his gaze on the Zanpakuto at Kyoya's waist.
If he remembered correctly, Kyoya's Zanpakuto, Borsalino, allowed Kyoya to remain in Bankai state permanently.
Therefore, after Kyoya completed his Bankai Training, he no longer wore a Zanpakuto at his waist.
But when he saw Kyoya again at Sokyoku Hill a few days ago, an additional Zanpakuto hung at his waist.
He knew it wasn't Borsalino!
Golden light appeared on Kyoya's body. Then, Kyoya grabbed this light, pulled it from himself, and condensed it into a Zanpakuto.
Sheathing this Zanpakuto at his waist, Kyoya drew his second Zanpakuto-
"Gin, as the first to experience this power, don't perform too poorly!"
"Otherwise, I'll feel very unaccomplished."
Gin's expression turned grave.
He didn't think Kyoya was joking.
Immediately, Gin stepped back, leaning his upper body forward, instantly drawing his Zanpakuto, its tip pointed at Kyoya.
"Shoot to kill-"
"Shinso!"
Whoosh-
White light flashed. Shinso in Gin's hand extended at a visible speed, thrusting towards Kyoya.
Knowing Kyoya's strength, Gin wouldn't hold back at all.
He knew if he didn't go all out, he wouldn't last long against Kyoya.
Boom-
After releasing the Bankai of Borsalino, Kyoya lost his light abilities.
Although Kyoya's Observation Haki sensed Gin's Shinso attack, he couldn't dodge in time.
Shinso was the fastest Zanpakuto in the Soul Society's history.
After Shikai, its extension speed was five hundred times the speed of sound, with a maximum extension length of 13 kilometers.
Shinso's Bankai was to turn to dust upon release, leaving part of the blade within the pierced person, releasing a toxin that dissolved cells, completely dissolving the enemy's body.
However, because Shinso's Bankai was Gin's true killing move, when releasing his Zanpakuto, he would deliberately suppress Shinso's extension speed, pretending Shinso's true extension speed was his Bankai, deceiving everyone.
But Kyoya's physical strength hadn't weakened because he lost the Pika Pika no Mi's abilities.
Even Shinso couldn't pierce Kyoya's body.
The powerful impact pushed Kyoya's body back.
But as Kyoya released Reiatsu to stabilize himself, it became Gin being pushed back by Shinso's recoil.
'So strong!'
Gin was shocked internally.
Although he long knew Kyoya was strong, so strong that even Aizen was very wary, even fearful, of him.
But Gin never imagined his Zanpakuto, Shinso, couldn't even scratch Kyoya's skin.
What joke was this?
Shinso's Bankai was to leave the blade within the enemy's body.
But from the current situation, he couldn't even pierce the skin, how could he use Shinso's Bankai?
Just let the dust stay on Kyoya's skin surface to use it?
However, Gin now doubted whether his Zanpakuto's Bankai would even work on Kyoya.
Stabilizing his body, Kyoya extended his left hand and grabbed Shinso in front of his chest.
But before Kyoya could do anything, Shinso in his hand turned to dust and instantly dispersed, returning to the tanto length in Gin's hand.
"Not bad."
"Not many in this world can dodge such an attack."
Gin remained silent.
Indeed, not many could dodge his Zanpakuto.
But each who could was no simple character.
Aizen was one of them.
Of course, Aizen could dodge because Gin didn't know if Aizen controlled his five senses, making the Aizen he saw not the real Aizen.
Or perhaps, what he saw and sensed as Aizen wasn't his true location.
He only had one chance!
If not for knowing his Zanpakuto could be dodged by Aizen, Gin wouldn't have sought an opportunity to attack Aizen.
Now, fighting Kyoya was different. Even if he increased Shinso's extension speed to the maximum, if it couldn't injure Kyoya, this battle was meaningless.
Rather, the greatest meaning of this battle might be to get beaten less when getting beaten up?
"Buto… Renjin!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh-
In an instant, countless white lights erupted from Gin's hand, rushing towards Kyoya.
This was Gin making Shinso extend and retract multiple times in an instant, performing continuous piercing attacks.
Under such high-speed attacks, almost no one could block Gin's attacks.
'Almost'… because Kyoya blocked them.
Holding the Zanpakuto in hand, Kyoya began to call its name.
"More More Tenfold Speed!"
Boom!
As Kyoya called, a surge of Reiatsu flowed from his Zanpakuto into his body.
Under this Reiatsu, Kyoya felt his speed increased tenfold!
This speed wasn't just movement speed, but also included reaction speed, attack speed, and defense speed!
Clang clang clang clang clang!
Although this speed still couldn't compare to lightspeed, it already allowed Kyoya to block all of Gin's attacks.
Then, Kyoya raised his Zanpakuto and called its name again-
"More More Double Slash!"
Boom!
As Kyoya swung his Zanpakuto, a flying slash hundreds of meters long was unleashed, tearing through the sky, slashing towards Gin.
Gin's pupils trembled.
'A slash of this magnitude… was it really something a person could unleash?'
In swordsmanship, he was also a Great Swordsman.
But his flying slashes couldn't compare to the one Kyoya just unleashed at all!
Boom!
As this flying slash passed, a trench stretching over a kilometer appeared in Hueco Mundo's desert. The bottomless black crevice seemed to devour everything on the ground. Merely looking at it was heart-pounding and frightening.
"This guy-"
Looking at the mark left by this slash, Gin gritted his teeth.
"Are you trying to kill me?"
With such destructive force, forget direct hit… even just grazing it, Gin felt he would die!
"Haha, sorry..."
Kyoya laughed awkwardly. "This is my first time using this power, so I'm not very familiar with this ability."
After obtaining the [Davy D. Clan] characteristic, Kyoya chose the [Moa Moa no Mi] as his second Zanpakuto. (T/N: More-More Fruit.)
In the One Piece World, the Moa Moa no Mi's user was [World Destroyer] Byrnndi World!
The Moa Moa no Mi, also known as the [Multiply Fruit], could multiply the speed, power, volume, etc., of anything the user touched, up to one hundred times.
After becoming Kyoya's Zanpakuto, Kyoya didn't spend much effort to defeat Byrnndi World, completing the Zanpakuto's Bankai, that is the Devil Fruit's awakening.
And the Moa Moa no Mi's awakening ability didn't disappoint Kyoya's expectations.
He could use the Moa Moa no Mi's ability to amplify his own slashes, Reiatsu, Haki, and other powers.
However, it was different from the light ability.
After releasing Borsalino, Kyoya himself was the master of light, able to control light continuously.
The Moa Moa no Mi's ability was different.
Each time this ability was used, the Zanpakuto would transmit a surge of power. It was this power that allowed Kyoya to bestow multiplicative power upon whatever he desired.
To use it again, he had to release it anew.
For example, if Kyoya gave himself tenfold speed, that surge of power could only increase Kyoya's speed tenfold.
If Kyoya wanted to amplify his slash, he had to call the Zanpakuto's name again, swapping the power amplifying his speed for power amplifying slash potency.
However, because Kyoya's own slashes were already very strong, when amplifying slash potency, Kyoya only used the lowest-level 'double amplification'.
But Kyoya didn't expect that even just doubling made his slash powerful enough to instantly kill Gin.
On one hand, the base strength of Kyoya's slash was sufficiently high.
On the other hand, the Moa Moa no Mi's ability, especially after awakening, being applicable to things beyond physical objects, was truly amazing.
If not for the weak user, Kyoya felt this ability might be the strongest in the One Piece World.
If the foundation was strong enough, then after tenfold, hundredfold amplification, who would dare stand before Kyoya?
Coincidentally, in the Bleach World, Kyoya's foundation was maxed out.
"Want to continue?"
Although Kyoya really wanted to try what realm he could reach using the Moa Moa no Mi's ability to amplify his Reiatsu, after looking at Gin's current state, Kyoya still asked.
There's no helping it. If Gin didn't cooperate, Kyoya was afraid he might accidentally kill Gin.
Then, no matter how many reasons Kyoya had, he wouldn't be able to explain to Rangiku.
"Heh, Captain Kyoya, do I look like a fool to you?"
Gin snorted coldly, directly released his Zanpakuto, sheathed it at his waist, and turned to fly towards Las Noches.
"Hey, don't be in such a hurry, Gin."
"What did Aizen send you to the City of Daylight for this time?"
Seeing this, Kyoya quickly flew in front of Gin and asked.
"What else could it be?"
"The City of Daylight caused Aizen to lose three Espada, so he wanted me to bring any Hollows worth taking from the City of Daylight back to Las Noches to replenish the Espada..."
"I see."
Kyoya stroked his chin.
"Then, Gin, take Nelliel back."
"Rudbornn needs to maintain order in the City of Daylight. As for me, just tell Aizen I was too strong, and during the fight, you couldn't control it and killed me."
