Soi Fon’s expression darkened as she stared down Kenpachi Zaraki. She immediately released her Zanpakutō’s Shikai and lunged at him.

“To challenge us here in the Second Division is to disrespect Captain Shin. I will make you pay for that.”

She closed the distance like a phantom, and Kenpachi’s own expression hardened. The dismissive look he’d worn just moments ago vanished, replaced by a grim focus. Soi Fon was a genuine threat.

Kenpachi’s instincts for danger were incredibly sharp; he could pinpoint a threat with uncanny accuracy, and right now, his senses were screaming.

“Die.”

With a soft hiss, Soi Fon struck, her blade piercing Kenpachi’s back without mercy. After the first strike, she immediately created distance.

Suzumebachi’s ability was a Two-Step Kill, but Soi Fon didn’t have time to land the second blow. Kenpachi’s counterattack was already on its way.

If she hadn’t dodged, Kenpachi’s sword would have taken her head. Kenpachi fought to kill—he never held back.

“Whoa, watch out, Kenny!” Yachiru Kusajishi called out from the sidelines.

Kenpachi didn’t answer, a cruel smile spreading across his lips, making his rough features look even more savage.

In truth, he didn’t look as menacing as he would in the future—his hair wasn’t styled into its iconic hedgehog-like spikes yet, and his face was still mostly unscarred.

It was just his eyes that burned with a terrifying ferocity.

‘This brute’s reflexes are incredible.’

Even Soi Fon was impressed. He’d reacted in time and nearly wounded her.

“You have some skill,” she conceded, “but it’s not enough…”

Soi Fon moved in to attack again. Kenpachi’s swings were wide and powerful, completely fearless. His style was pure, undisciplined brawling, leaving him with plenty of openings. He had never formally studied swordsmanship, and a structured, by-the-book style wouldn’t have suited him anyway.

But against an agile assassin like Soi Fon, his brutish approach was a clear disadvantage.

In a head-on clash, two Soi Fons might not have been enough to defeat him, but in a battle of attrition, he couldn’t even touch her.

Before long, Kenpachi was covered in blood. But despite the gruesome sight, his injuries weren’t severe. Soi Fon’s Zanpakutō was small and delicate, its direct attack power relatively weak. Although it could kill in two hits, both had to land in the same spot. If they didn’t, the damage it dealt was laughably small. For someone as tough as Kenpachi, it was nothing more than a scratch.

“This is boring! Come on, fight me for real!”

Kenpachi preferred a true slugfest—trading blows until one of them fell.

Soi Fon glanced at the simple-minded brute, then focused on finding a way to strike the butterfly-shaped mark she’d already left on his body.

She wasn’t the type to fall for a simple taunt. Though she could be prideful, she remained perfectly calm in battle.

They fought for nearly half an hour with no clear winner. Soi Fon was panting, her stamina no match for Kenpachi’s.

If Kenpachi had removed the seal on his Reiatsu, he could have easily defeated her, but he hadn’t. He kept his power deliberately suppressed, hoping to find an opponent he could truly fight to the death. He would only release his full power against someone far stronger than himself.

“You’re all having quite a party here.”

Shin returned, a black cat perched in his arms. Retsu Unohana hadn’t come with them; she had already returned to the Fourth Division’s barracks.

“Captain Shin! Lady Yoruichi! You’re back!” Soi Fon’s face lit up at the sight of Shin, and she immediately retreated to his side.

“What’s going on?”

Shin asked, though he already had a good idea. Kenpachi Zaraki was here, which meant Shunsui Kyōraku had likely told him about his challenge. Now he was covered in blood from fighting Soi Fon, looking quite the mess, but he stood tall, showing no signs of pain.

Kenpachi had endured far worse. To him, these were just minor scrapes.

The presence of Kenpachi and Yachiru wasn’t surprising, but Gin Ichimaru’s appearance was.

“These two fools came here to fight you,” Soi Fon reported.

Hearing her words, Shin shot a curious glance at Gin. Was this sly-looking guy here to fight him too?

He gave Gin a meaningful look. When their eyes met, Gin felt a shiver run down his spine, a profound sense of danger washing over him.

“Captain Shin, please don’t misunderstand. I have no intention of causing any trouble.”

Gin said to Shin. He had no desire to actually fight him. His original plan for a “spar” was just to go through the motions.

If it weren’t for Aizen, he never would have come here to bother Shin Uzumaki in the first place.

“I only wished to ask for your guidance, Captain Shin. I came here in hopes of receiving your instruction,” Gin said with a placid smile.

Shin chuckled softly. He didn’t fully believe Gin’s words. His visit was undoubtedly tied to Aizen.

‘Aizen, Aizen… I hope you don’t cause me any trouble. Otherwise, I won’t let you off easy either.’

Although Shin needed Aizen’s help to create the Hōgyoku, that didn’t mean he would tolerate Aizen’s games. The Hōgyoku was something he wanted, but not something he absolutely needed. Even without it, Shin would be fine.

So if Aizen got out of line, Shin would make him understand who was in control.

“Captain Shin, how should we deal with them?” Soi Fon asked. She certainly didn’t want to let them off the hook so easily.

But she also knew she couldn’t kill them. That would only cause trouble for Captain Shin. It wasn’t worth it.

“Captain Shin, I want to fight you. Will you grant me the honor?” Kenpachi looked at Shin, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.

“Fine. I accept.” Shin knew Kenpachi’s personality. If he didn’t deal with him now, Kenpachi would never give up and might even start following him around. He had to find a way to get rid of him.

As for killing Kenpachi? There was no need. As long as he wasn’t provoked, Shin could be merciful.

“He actually agreed.”

Yoruichi leaped onto Soi Fon’s head. Hearing that Shin had accepted Kenpachi’s challenge, she found it hard to believe.

Didn’t Shin hate this kind of trouble? Why would he agree to fight Kenpachi? It was so hard to understand him.
