Chapter 381: Unohana's Invitation to a Duel
Hearing this, Mao Zhihua's beautiful eyes sparkled, and the corners of her mouth curled up, "Really? It seems that Captain Lu is very confident now."
She pressed her bare hand on the handle of the meat sword, but the spiritual pressure on her body was not visible.
In the previous battle when the Seireitei was invaded, she was dragged into the battlefield by Kyōraku Shunsui. She took action again after many years. However, she was restrained by the Quincy's star ability, which made her feel very aggrieved.
After the war, she had been busy dealing with injuries, and the accumulated emotions made her want to release them.
"Hey, that sounds interesting. How can you do something like fighting without me?"
Zaraki Kenpachi said from the side, looking at Unohana with burning eyes. He had completely remembered that on that rainy night hundreds of years ago, when he was a boy, he fought against this god of death, and the battle was quite enjoyable.
It's a pity that after that, he never saw a decent opponent again.
Only Lu Li, whom he met a few days ago, made him feel his blood boiling again and enjoy the joy of fighting.
Unohana turned her eyes and glanced at Zaraki, "Zaraki Kenpachi, although I gave you Kenpachi's name, you are much weaker now than you were then."
Perhaps because her attention is not on Kenpachi now, she speaks more straightforwardly, and also wants to stimulate Zaraki Kenpachi to return to his peak strength as soon as possible.
It is said that as his spiritual body grows, Zaraki Kenpachi should become more powerful than when he was a child, but in fact, the spiritual pressure is very unstable. Even if he is forced into a desperate situation in his current state, Kenpachi probably will not be able to explode. Expose the ultimate power.
Depending on the situation, Unohana believes that Zaraki Kenpachi should be trained under Lu Li for another hundred years. When his fighting skills are more mature and his strength is more complete, he will be the opponent she wants to fight.
"I've become weak? What are you talking about, I..."
Kenpachi was puzzled. He didn't seem to realize that he had become weaker at all. He had been killing randomly in Rukongai for many years. Even if he restrained his strength, he couldn't enjoy the battle. How could he have become weaker?
But before he finished speaking, he paused.
Because the cold blade was already close to his throat, the knife was so fast that he didn't react. It was light and fast, and could be retracted and released freely.
In the extremely fast slash, it stopped at his throat in time, and the curved blade of Roushizuku seemed to be able to cut his throat with just a light stroke.
The breeze picked up later, and the sharp sound of the knife cutting through the air could not even be heard in the air, which showed the opponent's skill with the sword.
Unohana's figure was directly under Zaraki Kenpachi, holding the medium meat shizuku and slowly retracting it, "It seems that Captain Lu didn't let you realize how weak you are now..."
Under Kenpachi's surprised gaze, Uzhihua sheathed the meat bird in her hand and looked at Lu Li, "Is this the result of your sparring these days? It seems that you, the gold medal teacher of Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy, are somewhat unworthy of your reputation. "
"In terms of teaching quality, it is naturally not as good as Teacher Uozhihua. My methods may be a little gentler."
Lu Li said with a smile and did not refute, because he was busy with a lot of things these days, and sparring with Zaraki Kenpachi was just like a living wooden stake. If he was too violent and broke the opponent, he would have to work hard to help him. treat.
Strangely enough, he had not put pressure on Zaraki Kenpachi at first, but the opponent could only occasionally burst out some decent power, but it was far from the level that could threaten Lu Li's full strength.
If Riku leaves the swastika and puts pressure on him, he may be able to bring out Zaraki Kenpachi's potential, but the problem is that Zaraki is a very slow guy.
Unohana-sensei can use her healing power to kill and save at the same time. If his Uzana prisoner is struck with a sword, Zaraki may die directly, and it will be too late for him to awaken.
"It seems that Mr. Lu had some objections to my teaching methods back then..."
Maozhihua said with a smile, "I wonder how much you have grown in the past seventy years?"
"I really want to communicate with Unohana-sensei again, but Seireitei's current situation doesn't allow it."
Lu Li said helplessly, "Just my fight with Zaraki has caused dissatisfaction among many people. If I use all my strength, I will have to dismantle the Seireitei. I don't want to be beaten by the captain."
"This is not a problem~"
Uzhihua said with a smile, "I have applied for an excellent sparring venue in the name of a special military exercise, an open space in the Zhenyang Underground Prison..."
As she spoke, her beautiful eyes widened, and murderous intent was released as her pupils looked directly at Lu Li. It seemed as if an invisible wind was blowing here, making Kenpachi Zaraki who was standing beside Lu Li stiff for a moment.
After the stiffness passed, Zaraki Kenpachi felt ecstasy. He just wanted to fight with such a powerful opponent.
Maozhihua's murderous aura was expressed, "...Want to give it a try?"
"Is this the rights of the old captain? It's a shame that Mr. Yamamoto can agree to it, but..."
Lu Li grinned, "Isn't this great?"
Compared with Kenpachi Zaraki, whose combat power is chaotic and unstable, Unohana, whose overall strength is strong and stable, can allow him to increase his combat experience.
In the previous battle in the Seireitei, he was completely unable to see the full power of Unohana. Whether a traditional Shinigami can use Unohana or not, the difference in strength is huge.
The output power of spiritual pressure is different, which determines the manifestation of its external basic attributes. At that time, Unohana's attributes were suppressed and could not exert one-tenth of its strength. Faced with the bombing combat style of the Soul Singer, , Maozhihua's swordsmanship and martial arts schools also failed to show their advantages.
"Let's go then. We are only allowed to use it for one day, and it must be used under the supervision of the captain."
Mao Zhihua said that she came here today to invite Lu Li to an appointment.
Since she dared to propose such an agreement before, of course she can prepare the venue for the decisive battle. As the only remaining member of the original Gotei 13 team besides the captain, she has no credit but hard work, so she can still apply from the captain. to some permissions.
However, the commander-in-chief understood her nature better and was worried that she might accidentally kill Lu Li, so he asked to watch and supervise the whole process. If the commander-in-chief felt that the battle was going uncontrollable, he would terminate his discussion with Lu Li.
Presumably, the captain agreed to her request because he probably wanted to see what level Lu Li was now. In addition, although the captain did not question her in person that day, most of the captains did not realize the problem.
But Uzhihua knew that Lu Li still had some doubts. For example, since the Quincy could seize the opponent's Swastika, why didn't the Quincy's boss seize Lu Li's Swastika and defeat Lu Li?
According to Aizen's report, the Quincy used the new Perfect Holy Body technology, which means that the Quincy may not be able to capture the Swastika in that state, but Unohana feels that Cantot is already powerful enough. , even if you don't use up the Holy Body, there is still a big advantage in grabbing Lu Li's Swastika.
This was a sure-win strategy. She didn't think that the Quincy was as crazy as the three Kenpachi present. He had to fight when the enemy was at its strongest, so why didn't the other party seize Lu Li's swastika? ?
Do you don't want to or can't?
In fact, if you look at it carefully, there are still many doubts about Lu Li's battle in Hueco Mundo. Even though Aizen's report seems reasonable, there are still things that are difficult to explain.
It was just that the captain on that day was very fond of Cai Cai, and the result of Lu Li's battle was generally good for Soul Society, so he didn't mention it. Even if other captains thought of it, they wouldn't mention it again.
Otherwise, just after the war, targeting the biggest hero of the war or something like that would be too easy to chill the members of the Gotei 13th Team, whose talents are already declining.
Therefore, the captain agreed to her proposal because he also wanted to see Lu Li's specific strength and observe whether Lu Li had any abnormal powers.
If there are no problems, that would be the best. This is just a test and guidance from the captain watching the battle. They can also listen to the captain's opinions after the war.
"Old man Yamamoto is coming to see us, but it's also good. At least he can help us brake at the critical moment."
Lu Li thought, there was not much difference in strength between him and Mao Zhihua. If they got too high, it would be unrealistic to stop before the last moment.
Don't look at Captain Unohana's sword that just stopped at Zaraki Kenpachi's throat, but Zaraki is usually very slow. If he fights with all his strength, no one can hold back the sword.
It would be much better if the commander was here, because the commander is a super strong man after all. His comprehensive attributes are not comparable to those of Lu Li and Mao Zhihua. In a tense battle, only the commander can stop them to avoid being careless. It's the difference between life and death.
After thinking for a while, Lu Li asked again, "Can you bring someone with you? I want to take A Jian with me."
Because Zaraki Kenpachi is also called Kenpachi, in order to distinguish him from the current captain of the 11th Division, "Riku Kenpachi", he followed Yachiru and called Zaraki's nickname, otherwise it would be too awkward to always call him by his last name. .
Zaraki himself didn't like this nickname at first, always feeling that he was being underestimated, but he couldn't beat Lu Li, so he had to endure it and gradually got used to it.
"Okay, the captain won't mind if the Gotei Thirteen team has another captain-level strongman."
Uzhihua said with a smile, and changed her tone, "But your vice-captain may be poached."
"That doesn't matter, as long as Ajian is happy."
Lu Li nodded and said, he understood what Mao Zhihua meant.
The captain cherishes talents very much. In addition, the Gotei 13 had just suffered a heavy loss, and there were still several divisions without captains. Even if the vice-captain could fill the vacancy, the strength of the captain who did not know how to understand the swastika was not the same.
This is the period when the Gotei Thirteen Team needs all kinds of strong men. As long as people like Zaraki Kenpachi can be trained a little and make the wild path more regular, even if they don't understand swastika, they will still be very competent as captains.
It's too easy to kill people with your own swastika, and it's easy to get into trouble when the Unohana is high, so the one who is really the most suitable to teach Zaraki Kenpachi the basics is Captain Yamamoto.
"Sounds interesting. The captain you mentioned should also be very strong, right? Can I fight him?"
Zaraki Kenpachi said with some excitement that although he was not allowed to fight Unohana, it would be good to watch the battle between two strong men. Besides, he had always heard that the strongest of the Gotei Thirteen Team was the captain. He hasn't seen it yet.
Because his application for deputy captain has not yet been approved by Room 46 of the Central Committee, he has not yet appeared in the captain meeting.
As soon as Zaragi finished speaking, the prisoner demon stopped at his throat, lifting the weight as lightly as he could, not even being stirred by the breeze.
"Ajian, the captain is a hundred times stronger than me. I advise you to respect him later, otherwise you will be repaired badly."
Lu Li reminded, although he didn't think the captain would be as knowledgeable as Zaraki's childishness.
Zaraki Kenpachi glanced at the tip of the prisoner's sword that was stopped in front of his throat, raised his hand to push it away, "Tch, Captain, how much force do you usually have on me?"
This time he finally understood that both Mao Zhihua and Lu Li had the ability to kill him instantly.
But in their usual sparring sessions, Lu Li had never used such a technique. He was just sparring with him, allowing him to gradually warm up during the battle and exert greater strength.
Lu Li raised his head slightly and thought for a moment, "Used about 10% of his strength?"
This is not to brag. Although he faced Zaraki Kenpachi after warming up and had to activate the Ghostly Dungeon to increase his basic attributes, he was far from reaching the upper limit, and the techniques used in the battle were also very casual. To defeat Zaraki.
If he was serious about it, even if he didn't activate skills like Ghost Dungeon and Instant Coax, he would be able to take Zaragi's life in an instant as long as he aimed to kill people immediately.
Zaraki's slow heat is too fatal for a real death battle. If you are playing a turn-based hacking game, it will be fine. In a life-and-death battle, the strong one will often kill someone with one move, and the fight will not last long.
"That's really exciting..."
Zaragi's brain circuit is different from ordinary people, "So, doesn't it mean that I have become stronger and I won't be able to hack you to death easily?"
"That's the truth, so you'd better get back into shape quickly. According to what Captain Unohana said, you should have been stronger before, right?"
Lu Li said, and he and Mao Zhihua walked towards the outside of the 11th Division building. They were going to the 1st Division.
"Really? I think Captain Unohana is stronger than before, right?"
Zaraki himself did not feel that he had become weaker. He had already recalled his battle with Unohana, but he felt that he had not become weaker. He had always been invincible in these years before meeting Lu Li.
Unohana, who was walking in front, heard the conversation between Lu Li and Zaraki and sighed, "Vice Captain Zaraki, you have been fighting with the weak in Rukongai for too long."
She knows Zaraki Kenpachi's true strength better than Lu Li. To be honest, after she transferred to the Fourth Division and quit front-line combat in recent years, her personal strength has not increased or decreased except in the field of return, and it will not be compared with How much stronger it was back then.
But she was able to instantly kill the current Zaraki Kenpachi, and there was no comparison with the boy she fought against back then. This wasn't just a matter of getting weaker, it was simply a matter of losing weight.
She believes that although Zaragi's own incompetence caused Zaragi to seal himself, Zaraki himself beat weaklings too much in Rukongai, which is also an important reason.
"Zaraki, you have to fry fish."
Lu Li teased from the side, "The result of not fighting against strong people is that your body will get rusty."
