After retiring from the Zero Division, Aizen came to study

"It’s true, I’m one of the witnesses!"

In the Ugan Hall.

Ukitake Jushiro's complexion is much better than it was many years ago.

He still suffers from illness every once in a while, but it only lasts for a while with coughing and weakness. , not reduced to the point where he needs to lie on the bed.

Even because of his improved health, he can try to drink some drinks that he once refused to drink.

You know, in the past, he could not touch drinks at all. Things often hold drinking parties, and he just watches his friend Jingraku drink spring water there.

Now this state is something he has never experienced before. It can be imagined how grateful he is to Xianye.

Although Xianye's treatment process It was very long, but the life of the God of Death was very long. For the first time in his life, Ukitake Jushiro was full of confidence that he would become a normal person and his body would recover like a normal person.

Because the death of Kariya Shiki Kenpachi shocked the entire Gotei Ten. Team 3.

Kyōraku Shunsui happened to be one of the parties involved.

So Ukitake Jushiro invited Kyōraku Shunsui to come to the 13th Division as a guest. Also here was Genya.

While he was a guest, he naturally drank. He also asked Kyōraku Shunsui about the specific situation at that time.

Kyōraku Shunsui had a complicated expression and did not hide anything. He explained the specific situation of the matter.

The cause was that the Great Hollow from Hueco Mundo invaded Rukongai.

Eleven The captain of the division, Kenpachi Kariyashiki, led the team to fight against the Great Hollow.

Under Kenpachi Kariyashiki's hands, no matter how powerful the Great Hollow that attacked Hueco Mundo was, it was easily defeated.

Shunsui Kyoraku, as the captain of the eighth division, At that time, the medical shinigami who led the Fourth Squadron to support rushed to the aid of Kenpachi Kariyashiki. When he arrived at the battlefield, the battle had already come to an end.

Kenpachi Kariyashiki and his subordinates were holding a cocktail party on the battlefield.

The battlefield was used as a cocktail party. , how unrestrained and unrestrained.

Kyōraku Shunsui was invited by Kariyashiki Kenpachi and also attended the cocktail party.

However, just in the middle of the cocktail party, a man dressed as an aristocrat came here and threatened to challenge Kariyashiki Kenpachi. eight

"Although the timing of the opponent's challenge was very subtle and disturbed many Shinigami from the 11th Division's drinking pleasure, due to the inheritance rules of the 11th Division captain, Kariyashiki finally accepted the challenge from that guy."

"According to the captain succession rules of the 11th Squadron, when the Kenpachi Challenge Ceremony is carried out, a captain must be the witness, and then it will be carried out in front of two hundred Shinigami."

"At that time, in order to face the invasion of Hueco Mundo, the Shinigami of Division 11 came out in full force, and I happened to be there, so I just met these conditions. Kyoraku

Shunsui spoke in a low tone as he recounted what happened at that time.

At first, all the Shinigami present did not think that the challenger could defeat Kariyashiki Kenpachi.

In Kariyashiki Kenpachi defeated the sixth generation Kenpachi. , since he became the seventh generation Kenpachi, there has actually been no shortage of Shinigami who challenged Kenpachi Kariyashiki, but none of them succeeded. Later, after Kenpachi Kariyashiki killed the Vastod-level Dakyu alone, the challengers basically No more.

Because Kariyashiki Kenpachi is too strong.

Although the appearance of this challenger is rare, no Shinigami is optimistic about the opponent.

The result is unexpected.

In the head-on duel, this challenger He was severely injured by Kariyashiki Kenpachi. Although he was also seriously injured, when it came to the result, he still won.

Because Kariyashiki Kenpachi was going to die.

"Facing the dying Kariyashiki Kenpachi, the Shinigami of Division 11 fell into a riot. They frantically surrounded the seriously injured challenger, trying to kill him, and determined that he had used some despicable means to do so. The one who seriously injured Kariyashiki Kenpachi"

"Faced with this scene, Kariyashiki Kenpachi used his last strength to free the Zanpakutō and powerfully stopped the rioting Shinigami of Division 11."

When Kyoraku Shunsui said this, his tone was a little low. He imitated the tone of Kariyashiki Kenpachi's words at that time.

"What do you guys... want to do?"

"You guys are burdened with the number eleven... don't mess up a one-on-one duel!"

"I died by this guy's knife and that's all! I won't allow you to deny the ironclad rules of Squadron 11! From today on, this guy is 'Kenpachi'’！"

"Finally, he got rid of me and told Old Man Shan to take care of the new Kenpachi. He also said that he wanted to compete with me and Ukitake."

Having said this, Kyōraku Shunsui looked at Ukitake Jūshirō who was standing aside.

"That's pretty much it."

Jushiro Ukitake had a complicated look on his face when he heard this. He couldn't help but whisper the name of the hero who was known as 'One Rider for a Thousand',"Gariyashiki……"

After finishing the many last words of Kariyashiki Kenpachi on the battlefield at that time.

Kyōraku Shunsui mentioned another thing.

That is, the man who defeated Kariyashiki Kenpachi and was called Molejo Souya once lamented to Kariyashiki Kenpachi. If Kariyashiki Kenpachi had used swastika, the outcome of the battle might have been different. maybe.

Regarding this matter, Jingraku Shunsui also gave his own opinion

"Although after using the swastika, Kariyashiki does have a hope of winning, but once his swastika is used, within a certain range, all enemies will be harmed regardless of the enemy. This is why the Central Committee Room 46 issued a ban, strictly prohibiting him from doing so. The reason why swastika is used around Seireitei"

"If victory comes at the cost of hurting his companions, then Kariyashiki would rather choose to lose and die."

"This is Kariyashiki Kenpachi!"

"A god of death who will always protect his companions, always choose to take the lead, and choose to fight calmly."

"Even if he lost because he had not used the swastika, he never felt sad or resentful. Instead, he blessed the person who defeated him. He sincerely hoped that he could lead the 11th Division to continue to move forward, and he sincerely hoped that the other person would become a competitor. Kenpachi himself is stronger"

"What a great person!"Xian Ye listened quietly for a long time, and also commented on Kariyashiki Kenpachi.

No one knows whether Kariyashiki Kenpachi impressed him, but now that Kariyashiki Kenpachi is dead, he doesn't mind praising him..

Then, he asked Kyoraku Shunsui:"You said that the sword of the man who defeated Kariyashiki Kenpachi and now became the new Kenpachi is invisible?"

"Yes."

Jingraku Shunsui nodded.

"Although he was not seen holding a knife, there were many stab wounds on Kariyashiki Kenpachi's body. It can be seen that the knife must be in his hand, but for some reasons, we cannot peek into its existence."
