~ Next Bonus, 200!

“Still want to keep going?” Shin asked as Kenpachi struggled to his feet.

Kenpachi didn’t answer, but the way he gripped his blade told Shin everything he needed to know. Of course he would continue. As long as he wasn’t beaten into the ground, unable to stand, Kenpachi Zaraki would never give up. His very spirit wouldn’t allow it.

“Alright, have it your way,” Shin said, adding a casual warning. “Just don’t blame me if I break something you can’t fix.”

“Crippling Captain Kenpachi with a single kick… Captain Shin is everything they say he is,” Gin Ichimaru remarked with a sigh.

“You’re still here? Don’t tell me you’re thinking of fighting Captain Shin?” Soi Fon shot Gin a sharp look. She recalled his earlier desire to spar with Shin. ‘Has he still not given up after seeing Captain Shin’s power? Daring to challenge him now would be suicide.’

“No, I’ve given up on that idea,” Gin said candidly. “My strength is no match for Captain Shin’s. Challenging him would just be asking for humiliation…”

It was nothing to be ashamed of—

Who in the Soul Society could claim to be stronger than Shin Uzumaki? No one. So giving up wasn’t shameful—it was just smart. And as for Aizen’s mission… to hell with it. I’m not throwing my life away for some so-called mission. This is impossible.

Gin suspected Aizen’s true motive wasn’t simply to have him fight Shin—Aizen likely knew he was no match. It was probably a test of his own strength, something Gin had no intention of revealing. If Aizen knew his true power and became wary, Gin would never get the upper hand.

“At least you know your place. I’m starting to find you a little less annoying,” Soi Fon commented, glancing at Gin.

Before, she couldn’t stand the sight of him. But now, his self-awareness was a point in his favor. Unlike that brutish oaf who still dared to face Captain Shin. If Shin accidentally killed him, it would probably cause some trouble.

“Ken-chan…” Yachiru’s face was etched with worry. Though she wanted him to stop, she knew Kenpachi would never listen.

Once he decided to fight, he would fight until death or until he could no longer get up. Not even she could change his mind.

Kenpachi’s swordsmanship was pure, unrestrained aggression. Though it lacked formal techniques, that formlessness made it harder to counter than any established style.

But in Shin’s eyes, every move was perfectly clear, as if Kenpachi were moving in slow motion.

In a situation like this, Kenpachi stood no chance. A casual wave of Shin’s hand was enough to parry his attacks.

“You’re full of openings.”

Shin said calmly, once again catching Kenpachi’s blade in his bare hand. The sword that could cleave a mountain seemed utterly powerless in his grasp.

“Putting everything else aside, his strength is the real deal,” Yoruichi commented.

At the same time, Yoruichi couldn’t help but think back to a time when she’d doubted Shin’s strength. She felt a flush of embarrassment now.

“Of course. Captain Shin is the strongest, invincible,” Soi Fon said, her eyes filled with worship.

Seeing Soi Fon’s adoration, Yoruichi shot her a look. ‘I used to be the one you admired most.’

Now her loyalty had shifted entirely to that man, Shin.

‘Besides his strength, what else is so great about him?’ Yoruichi mused, then immediately thought of his other qualities.

He was handsome, had a good personality, and seemed to have no major flaws.

‘Birds of a feather, I guess…’ Except for his involvement with that woman, Retsu Unohana, Yoruichi really had nothing to complain about.

“Little Soi Fon, are you fond of Shin?” Yoruichi asked.

“Yes,” Soi Fon nodded. She loved Shin, and she made her adoration for him perfectly clear.

Yoruichi gritted her teeth slightly. Was she going to have to deal with Soi Fon as a love rival? Honestly, if it was Soi Fon, Yoruichi wouldn’t have the heart to be harsh with her.

What Yoruichi didn’t realize was that Soi Fon’s feelings for Shin were different from her own—it was more adoration than romantic love, at least for now.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Shin’s fist sent Kenpachi flying. Ignoring his injuries, Kenpachi once again struggled to his feet, his movements slow and pained.

But he still got up, his gaze fixed on Shin, his face filled with defiance.

“Alright, I suggest you stop now. If you keep this up, you’re going to die.”

Shin said to Kenpachi. It was a genuine warning. If the fight continued, Kenpachi’s death was a certainty.

————————————————

“Heh, I won’t give up.”

Kenpachi’s expression was incredibly determined. Seeing that unwavering gaze, Shin felt a certain appreciation for him.

Kenpachi’s resolute spirit was indeed admirable.

“I know you won’t give up that easily. I guess I’ll have to get a little serious with the next one.”

Shin raised his hand.

Hado #90. Kurohitsugi!

An unchanted Kidō—Shin even deliberately suppressed his spiritual pressure to avoid killing Kenpachi outright.

For Kenpachi, Shin wanted to hold back. As long as there was no conflict between them, and Shin didn’t particularly dislike him, he saw no reason to go too far.

Even as a suppressed, unchanted version, the power of Kurohitsugi was immense. Kenpachi was trapped in a black coffin-like structure as the sound of shadow blades slicing through the air echoed out.

When the black coffin vanished, Kenpachi was revealed, bathed in blood and on the brink of death. From the looks of it, he wasn’t far from his end.

“Ken-chan!”

Yachiru immediately ran over to check on his condition.

“Don’t worry, he’s not dead yet. I held back. He just looks a mess, but he’s not going to die that easily,” Shin said to Yachiru.

“Oh, thank you for sparing Ken-chan,” Yachiru thanked Shin. After all, Kenpachi had been the one to challenge him. Even if he had been killed, no one could have said a word.
