But fortunately, the Three Realms Ark Plan formulated by Mo Yu gave Ichigo Kurosaki hope, and then he kept thinking and came up with his own ideas.
Urahara Kisuke, Hirako Mako and others didn't know that it wasn't the defeat of Fisher that made Ichigo Kurosaki the strongest creature on earth, but the thinking during this period of time made Ichigo Kurosaki want to become the strongest existence on this earth in the true sense!
"In the face of disaster, I am not completely useless. I still have strength, and with this strength, there are many things that only I can do..."
There is an indescribable determination in those cold eyes!
For Ichigo Kurosaki, going to Soul Society was never a spur of the moment decision!
He has his own awareness and reasons for becoming the strongest.
"To save the world, I need to go to the Soul King Palace to obtain the Soul King's body, so I came. I don't know the way to the Soul King Palace, so I will go find someone who knows. If he doesn't want to talk, I will use this power to beat him until he is willing to talk. No matter who tries to stop me, I will beat him hard until they no longer stop me, but submit to me and are willing to move forward with me. I long to become the strongest, because only the strongest will and power can realize everything I say..."
Ichigo Kurosaki clenched his right fist and walked towards Kenpachi Zaraki who was blown away!
For Ichigo Kurosaki, there is only one reason to become the strongest.
All the difficulties, desperate situations, and impossibilities that stand in the way will be defeated with an unmatched iron fist, and then just like what Mo Yu has said several times...
Like a strong man, use your own will to explain how the world should work!
"Mr. Zaraki Kenpachi, I came to Soul Society with such strength, such will, and such awareness, but what greeted me was a guy like you who was afraid of killing people even when you chopped them. Do you think this is appropriate?"
Amid the increasingly fierce and violent spiritual pressure, Kenpachi Zaraki stood up again and said in a cold voice:
"You are such a long-winded fellow, are you planning to kill me with your words? Come on!"
Ichigo Kurosaki fell on Kenpachi Zaraki's right hand. At this moment, Kenpachi Zaraki's hand loosened, his Zanpakuto fell to the ground, and then he clenched his fists tightly!
Seeing this scene, Kurosaki Ichigo laughed:
"Mr. Zaraki Kenpachi, I noticed that you have a talent as a fighter who can grow by preying on everything. Are you interested in fighting with me to save the world?"
Kenpachi Zaraki didn't answer, he was just thinking about something!
Ichigo Kurosaki didn't wait, but rushed forward at great speed and simply swung his punch. Unexpectedly, or rather, it was expected, Kenpachi Zaraki slightly sideways, avoiding Ichigo Kurosaki's direct attack with the smallest body swing, and then when he passed by Ichigo Kurosaki, he gave him an uppercut at the chin!
His right fist swung into nothing, and he stretched out his left hand from his trouser pocket to block Kenpachi Zaraki's punch towards his chin. The smile on Ichigo Kurosaki's face gradually transformed into a facial expression, and his body suddenly swelled up, filled with strong muscles!
"Very good, Mr. Zaraki Kenpachi, you and I can finally speak freely without any restraint. Kouhei kouhei kouhei, let's chew each other happily!!!"
The fighting spirit, which had cooled down a bit, quickly soared to the point of explosion!
No more charging forward or moving around, at this close distance, Ichigo Kurosaki swung his fist with divine speed without restraint.
50. Fighting veteran Fisher passes on his will to the newbie
Faced with Ichigo Kurosaki's continuous burst of swift punches at close range, Kenpachi Zaraki had a hard time blocking them.
After a while, his defensive posture was broken, and then he was hit hard by several punches, and he vomited blood.
But unexpectedly, after spitting out blood, Kenpachi Zaraki was always able to hold on, then adjust his center of gravity and posture, continue blocking, and even find time to punch back, but there was basically no result.
Kenpachi Zaraki's physical skills are actually not that bad. It's not just because Captain Yamamoto couldn't stand his poor performance and specially trained him in punching and demon slaying, but also because the so-called swordsmanship in Soul Society is basically based on hand-to-hand fighting, that is, physical skills.
This is not difficult to understand. It is hard to say whether the Zanpakutō can maintain the shape of a sword after Shikai and Bankai. If you teach a lot of sword skills, but find that the Zanpakutō turns into a bow and arrow or a boxing glove after Shikai, what should you do?
Therefore, the swordsmanship of Soul Society is more of a set of combat guides on how to fight with all kinds of fancy weapons than teaching the skill of using a sword. This so-called Shinigami swordsmanship contains some swordsmanship content, but the core is not in the sword at all. Even without a sword, you can pick up a brick to hit people, or use a Stand to charge. It is also very versatile.
Kenpachi Zaraki's Zanpakutō was just a shallow one he picked up from the battlefield when he was young. He had never heard the soul whispers of his Zanpakutō, nor had he learned skills like Shikai and Bankai. So just now, when he realized that the Zanpakutō in his hand was just an iron bar to Ichigo Kurosaki, he put down the sword, intending to fight head-on in a more direct and violent way.
Of course, the main reason was that Kenpachi Zaraki could not bear the disappointment in Ichigo Kurosaki's eyes.
This kind of look was the most extreme insult that Kenpachi Zaraki had ever felt in his long life.
Therefore, he had to return the insult with his own hands.
Even though Kenpachi Zaraki has never specifically studied physical skills during his long career of killing people, he has already engraved the key points of attack and defense such as adjusting the body's center of gravity, moving and changing steps, and the way of exerting force into his instincts just by relying on the accumulation of practical experience. He follows the style of "my style" instinctive physical skills, which are ferocious, fierce, and highly targeted in actual combat. Even a death god who specializes in fighting can be torn to pieces by Kenpachi Zaraki in just a few encounters.
But after several rounds of close combat with Ichigo Kurosaki, Kenpachi Zaraki's mind was filled with doubts.
He felt that he had never delved into taijutsu techniques and relied more on practical experience in fighting, which was bad enough, but it seemed that Ichigo Kurosaki's fighting skills were even worse than his.
Ichigo Kurosaki's fighting skills can only be described as disorganized!
But it was this unsystematic fighting skill that made him extremely embarrassed, and he felt extremely puzzled by it.
Is it fast? Kurosaki Ichigo's attack is indeed fast, but as Zaraki Kenpachi becomes more focused, he feels that it is not that fast. Although it exceeds his reaction limit, the degree of excess can only be described as a little bit. With his keenness in combat, it should not be a problem.
Is it heavy? Kurosaki Ichigo's fist is indeed very heavy, but Zaraki Kenpachi feels that the spiritual power contained in Kurosaki Ichigo's fist does not seem to be that much. It is just strong, not very strong.
But that’s exactly the problem!
His skills were obviously worse than mine, but he broke through my defense time and time again. His speed was obviously not too fast, so why did I keep getting beaten? His strength was obviously not very strong, so why did I keep vomiting blood!?
This is the confusion that Kenpachi Zaraki has never experienced in his long career!
The strong is the strong, no matter in terms of strength or skill, the gap is obvious, just like Captain Yamamoto. The weak is the weak, no matter how fancy the tricks are, one cut will kill you, just like those Shinigami and Hollows.
Kenpachi Zaraki has been going through this for many years, so he can't understand why Ichigo Kurosaki, who, according to the panel, has worse skills than him, isn't much stronger, and isn't incredibly fast, can beat him up.
For Kenpachi Zaraki, losing is not unacceptable, but if he can't even figure out how he lost, that would be the ultimate insult, even more excessive than the ultimate insult.
In order to reject this ultimate insult, Kenpachi Zaraki tried his best to boost his spiritual power, and devoted himself more to the battle, even unconsciously making a roar like a wild beast.
The huge spiritual power continued to rise, and the violent golden spiritual power torrent turned into substantial pressure, causing the earth to crack and the atmosphere to tremble. An ordinary enemy would not be able to even move, and would have his leg bones broken and fall to the ground.
This shows why when the spiritual power of the god of death reaches a certain level, it is called spiritual pressure.
But all these were useless to Ichigo Kurosaki. He just had a fanatical and joyful smile, a snarling laugh of a strong man, and then used his fists to beat Kenpachi Zaraki from all directions with abandon and willfulness.
Since he was unable to defend, Kenpachi Zaraki simply gave up on defense, used his powerful spiritual pressure to resist, and then counterattacked with all his strength.
Fists rained down on Kenpachi Zaraki, but only made him even more ferocious. The roar that came out of his mouth was filled with both shrill anger and ecstatic joy.
This kind of pure fighting and struggling made him, who was already crazy about war, so addicted to it!
Then, Ichigo Kurosaki was pleasantly surprised to find that Kenpachi Zaraki, whose spiritual pressure had soared to the peak, was still getting stronger. His reactions were sharper, his strength was more precise and heavier, and along with it, there was also a sense of danger.
It was as if there was an evil beast filled with endless blood and breath of death, which was gradually reviving in Kenpachi Zaraki's body under the stimulation of desperate defeat.
Ichigo Kurosaki was extremely delighted at this impending sign of danger, and he even felt more delighted.
Gradually, between the collisions of fists, the beast-like laughter and the roaring laughter of strong men intertwined and complemented each other. The decibels were so high and the spirits were so heroic that even Captain Yamamoto, who was far away, could not help rubbing his ears, feeling it was very harsh.
Captain Yamamoto was leaning on a cane. Although he was not at the scene, he could clearly feel everything that happened on the battlefield. He heard Ichigo Kurosaki's sincere and unreserved declaration. After thinking for a long time, he raised his head, looked at the sky full of blood-red eyes, and muttered to himself:
"Although the living world is vast, there is only one city left, Karakura Town? Could it be that this Void crisis is what caused the Soul King to interfere in the mortal world? But why did the Soul King choose the Quincy and not us!?"
For the well-informed Captain Yamamoto, he knew what Ichigo Kurosaki's power was just by smelling it. Combined with Ishida Uryuu's previous experience, Captain Yamamoto couldn't help but think in this direction, but he quickly came to the conclusion:
"In the eyes of the Soul King, are the gods of death considered treason?"
After reaching this conclusion, Captain Yamamoto was silent for a long time, because he knew the reason better than anyone else.
If the Soul King really ordered to leave the Soul King Palace, the nobles who wanted to rush in and chop the Soul King down to make him keep silent would be able to line up from the East Gate of Seireitei to Karakura-cho West Road!
Even the Zero Squad, which was made up of the royal secret agents, were not necessarily so loyal. Captain Yamamoto knew better than anyone else that what they respected was not so much the Soul King, but the order of the Three Realms maintained by the Soul King as his adopted son, and the fact that they themselves had to rely on the power of the Soul King for eternal life.
If one day, the Soul King fell, and if there was something else that could replace it, the people in Squad Zero could always put that thing on the throne, calling it "Soul King with Power Up", and continue to be their own royal spies as if nothing had happened, maintaining the order of the three realms from a high position forever.
Thinking of this, Captain Yamamoto couldn't help but ask himself.
If the Spirit King, who maintains the foundation for the survival of the Three Realms, really breaks free from his restraints and suppression and runs out in a swagger, what will happen to me, as the leader of the gods of death?
The answer is obvious. Although he knows that the Soul King has great powers and there may be other ways to continue to maintain the Three Realms, considering that the survival of the Three Realms and even the survival of all the gods of death depend on his thoughts, Captain Yamamoto also hopes that the Soul King will lie back honestly and be a safe and harmless background board.
Captain Yamamoto once again realized that he was getting old.
Thousands of years have completely wiped out the drive in his heart to forge ahead at all costs. Like an old man, rather than embracing the unknown and unpredictable changes in the future, he hopes that everything in front of him will remain unchanged, even if it is only unchanged on the surface, because that is the proof of his existence.
"It seems that we are really rebellious..."
It is difficult to describe the tone Captain Yamamoto used when he said this. It was a bit desolate and helpless, but also a bit calm and relieved.
In fact, Captain Yamamoto was well prepared. Just when Ishida Uryu was about to kill Kurotsuchi Mayuri, an invisible hand grabbed his neck and ordered him to get out. Although he subconsciously knew who that hand was, his first reaction was to draw his sword.
At that moment, the chief of the gods of death, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, cast his supreme gaze towards the sky and gave a decisive answer!
Captain Yamamoto remained silent for a long time. His figure seemed more hunched at this moment, as if he could not breathe due to the heavy pressure of the situation. However, his eyes seemed to be filled with the light of blood and fire!
The bloodthirsty Ghost King from a thousand years ago never died after all. He was gradually waking up at this moment, staring at this familiar yet strange world through the eyes of Captain Yamamoto.
Captain Yamamoto's gaze gradually changed from scattered to focused. He no longer looked up at the sky, but looked down at the ground, gazing at the Jingling Garden, which he had created and had withstood thousands of years of wind and rain.
The perverted big fighters were running around the streets of the Seireitei in the form of traveling troubles, constantly beating up the Shinigami. In addition, some sneaky guys with familiar auras were also running around. Captain Yamamoto whispered:
"Hirako Mako, you guys are back at this time too? It seems like a storm is about to come."
Everyone underestimated Captain Yamamoto's familiarity with the Seireitei. This familiarity was not only about the scenery, but also about the people.
Over the past thousands of years, many Shinigami were taught by Captain-General Yamamoto or had received training from him. What these Shinigami did not know was that their appearance and aura had always been kept in mind by the seemingly indifferent Captain-General Yamamoto.
Hundreds of years ago, when Hirako Mashiro and others defected, Captain Yamamoto investigated them for a long time and found out that they were still safe. But after he came into the world and hid, he left it alone for the time being.
Captain Yamamoto did not have any special reaction to the reappearance of Mako Hirako and others.
There has never been a shortage of surging undercurrents in Soul Society, nor of various conspiracies and secrets. Conspirators and masterminds emerge in endlessly, and the will to change the status quo of Soul Society and even the Three Realms has always existed. But over the past thousand years, none of these ambitious guys has been able to stand out, and all those who dared to show up have been ruthlessly suppressed or even destroyed.
Captain-General Yamamoto was both the pioneer of the era and the biggest suppressor of this era.
Anyone who aspires to change the status quo must face him.
Finally, Captain Yamamoto's gaze fell on Kurosaki Ichigo again:
"Do you want to be the strongest, Messenger of the Spirit King? I am waiting for you here. Let me see if your fists can really beat the whole world and overturn this era that I created with my own hands!"
It was just a flash of thought, but in the distance, Ichigo Kurosaki, who was obsessed with fighting, suddenly sensed something and was distracted. It was this distraction that Kenpachi Zaraki seized the opportunity to create the first result since the war began.
Kenpachi Zaraki's fist smashed into Ichigo Kurosaki's face, sending him flying.
Kurosaki Ichigo was fine, he just did a backflip and landed firmly on the ground:
"Sorry, I seemed to sense some strange invitation just now, and I was distracted for a moment. By the way, your punch was very good and exciting. Please continue!"
"You don't have to tell me, I can do it too!"
Kenpachi Zaraki pounced forward like a mad beast, and with even greater strength than before, he once again engaged in a passionate fight with Ichigo Kurosaki. As the fight became more intense, feeling Ichigo Kurosaki's fists falling on him again and again, the doubts that shrouded Kenpachi Zaraki's heart were gradually dispelled, and eventually turned into enlightenment. However, this enlightenment did not make him feel happy, but instead made him roar in anger:
"You bastard, you said a lot of nice words, saying that you came with the will to beat the world and asked me to be serious, but in the end you were the most careless person in this battle. You bastard, you are obviously very strong, but you actually focused on fighting with other people and then divided part of your mind to fight me!!!"
Kenpachi Zaraki reached out and tore off Ichigo Kurosaki's shirt, which was torn due to the expansion of his muscles.
A deep fist mark was imprinted on Ichigo Kurosaki's chest, and it was shaking like a living thing. Strange and criss-crossing lines spread across Ichigo Kurosaki's chest with the fist mark as the center. From a distance, it looked like an abstract sun tattoo!
At this moment, this sun tattoo, blooming with a strange and ferocious light, continues to gnaw at everything of Kurosaki Ichigo, from life to soul, strength and will, all are within the devouring range of this sun tattoo, and Kurosaki Ichigo has continued to burst out his own strength, engaging in an endless and fierce battle with this sun tattoo, and has never stopped from beginning to end!
In this state, the strength and attention that Kurosaki Ichigo allocated to Kenpachi Zaraki were destined to be secondary. This is why Kenpachi Zaraki felt weird. Kurosaki Ichigo was very strong, but he could only use just enough strength to maintain a certain level to fight. Therefore, his speed was not very fast, his strength was just right, and his skills were casual and sloppy.
After the truth was revealed, Kurosaki Ichigo took a few steps back, looked down at the sun pattern on his chest, then looked up and smiled:
"Have you noticed? Your fighting instincts are unexpectedly sharp. According to the evaluation of fighters, it should be at 20% of the absolute domain. The purity is very high. But you are wrong about one thing. This injury that requires me to fight with all my strength is not a burden. On the contrary, it is the source of my strength to reach the strongest level..."
"I once fought a stunning battle with an opponent who was quite strong in both will and consciousness. In that battle, our purity was constantly rising as we sharpened each other. Our strength and will were also endlessly improved. We finally burned everything to decide the winner. But after that, I found that my purity had stagnated and even started to regress, because there was no longer such a strong opponent to stimulate each other and burn through and sublimate together..."
Slowly recounting the past of Kurosaki Ichigo, his expression somewhat nostalgic:
"I don't regret blasting that opponent to pieces. I just can't help but miss him. Fortunately, the punch he threw before he died, burning everything he had, was firmly imprinted on my chest. At first, I just left this scar out of remembrance, because at that time, I could actually heal this wound. But as I felt my purity begin to decline, I couldn't help but cultivate this scar and push this unfinished move to the peak, so that I can repeatedly savor the beautiful aftertaste brought by that shocking battle..."
As a battle maniac, Kenpachi Zaraki quickly understood Ichigo Kurosaki's idea, but he also felt incredible:
"You use your own body as a battlefield all the time, fighting a never-ending battle with the enemy. How did you do it? Damn it, this is such a great idea, why didn't I think of it before?"
Ichigo Kurosaki laughed, happy that Kenpachi Zaraki could understand his thoughts:
"I have to say once again, Mr. Zaraki Kenpachi, you really have the talent to become a fighter. I think the fighting world cannot miss a talent like you. For this reason, I decided to personally host the fighter's job change ceremony for you. Oh, by the way, let me tell you in advance that I have been fighting you with 1% of my absolute domain power just now. Next, for the smooth progress of the ceremony, I will slightly remove some restrictions. This is a painful process, please be patient..."
What is the fighter's job change ceremony?
As the ancestor of fighters, Mo Yu has never formulated these things, but that does not prevent Kurosaki Ichigo from formulating a set of rules himself.
Ichigo Kurosaki will never forget the experience of seeing a group of muscular guys kicking down the door and rushing in at Chad's house, chasing him and beating him up for nine streets, and then forcing him to understand what purity is during the endless beating!
That was the beginning of his journey as a fighter.
Ichigo Kurosaki feels that this kind of power and this kind of great experience need to be passed on to every new generation of fighter!
"Fisher, who is far away in heaven, please lend me your strength. Just like you did in the past, pass on the will of a fighter to the new generation of fighters. 10% of the absolute domain output - the Fist of the Endless Heaven!!!"
Ichigo Kurosaki stepped forward, rushed forward, and punched!
It seemed to be no different from the previous attack, but at this moment, Kenpachi Zaraki felt as if he was hallucinating.
Otherwise, how to explain why, along with the attacking figure of Kurosaki Ichigo, a dozen ugly, fat, muscular men suddenly appeared, and then burst out with extremely powerful strength and punched him hard!
Kenpachi Zaraki tried his best to resist, but the outcome was doomed. In just a short moment, he didn't know how many punches he had received. Then, these big guys' phantoms roared passionately, as if they were alive, and continued to punch Kenpachi Zaraki with different moves.
51. Trust in my close friend Aizen
