Chapter 31 - Chapter 31. Start of the Last Orchestra

After 11th Division Captain Kenpachi Zaraki defeats Sternritter "V" Gremmy Thoumeaux, he orders unseated members of his division to search for his missing lieutenant, Yachiru Kusajishi.

However, Candice electrocutes the unseated Shinigami with a bolt of lightning and expresses delight at being able to take out several Shinigami at once as she, Liltotto Lamperd, Meninas McAllon, and Giselle Gewelle descend.

As the unseated Shinigami call out to Kenpachi, Giselle notes Candice did not take them all out at once, prompting Candice to declare she will simply keep attacking them until they are all dead.

However, Kenpachi leaps into the air and attacks her

When Kenpachi slashes at her, Candice moves behind him by transforming into electricity before blasting him with a surge of lightning, prompting Meninas to punch Kenpachi into the ground with enough force to crater it.

As Candice expresses shock at Kenpachi being able to move that quickly after fighting Gremmy, several 11th Division members attempt to move to Kenpachi and protect him, but Liltotto appears before them and explains how they planned to attack Kenpachi after he was worn down by his fight with Gremmy.

The Shinigami prepare to attack her, but Liltotto uses The Glutton to devour several of them, shocking the remaining Shinigami, who attempt to run away.

As she messily devours the fleeing Shinigami, Liltotto notes she is famished.

Meanwhile, Kenpachi tells the unseated Shinigami to stop, but Candice notices he can still get up and blasts him with a large bolt of lightning.

Kenpachi groans in pain as several unseated Shinigami rush toward him.

However, Meninas picks up a large building and crushes the Shinigami with it before noting there is no reason for the Shinigami to rush, as Kenpachi is going to die.

Elsewhere, Giselle tells several unseated Shinigami they should run to Kenpachi, but one of them points out how Giselle is likely planning to attack them with a strange power like the other Sternritter did once they do so.

However, Giselle claims she does not have such combat abilities and that attacking her will not help the Shinigami.

One of the Shinigami tells Giselle to shut up before slashing her diagonally across the chest.

As her blood sprays all over the Shinigami, Giselle notes the Shinigami have touched her blood while withstanding a deep cut in her shoulder.

Wondering why Giselle is not dead, the Shinigami who attacked her realizes he cannot feel his hand, prompting Giselle to reveal that anyone who touches her blood becomes a corpse under her control.

Giselle orders the Shinigami to commit seppuku and walks away as the horrified Shinigami kill themselves.

Candice, Liltotto, Meninas, and Giselle surround a heavily injured Kenpachi, who lies in a smoking crater.

As Kenpachi notes he cannot move and wonders if he is about to die, the four Sternritter argue over who will kill him and how this will be decided before they decided to settle with rock-paper-scissors.

Soon Candice stood on top of Kenpachi ready to deliver the finishing blow while materializing the lighting blade with Thunderbolt.

But before she could deliver an attack she was hit by flying Zanpakuto, making her flew backward to other girls.

"Oi, oi, Zaraki. Are you alive?" Nnoitora asked.

"Obviously." Zaraki started even though he was practically dead.

"The good for you then." Nnoitora stated before turning her eyes to the girls.

"Now Quincies let's settle our score." Nnoitora wore his iconic smile as he was rushing towards them.

"You!!! What are you doing?" Candice shouted. "Did you forgot we have your leader as a hostage?"

"Oh. About that, I don't care." Nnoitora didn't halt his pace.

As Nnoitora swings his Zanpakuto vertically, all the girls except Giselle dodged and Giselle was cut in half cleanly.

Candice used Thunderbolt to electrocute Nnoitora from the sky but to no avail.

Nnoitora leaps and swings his Zanpakuto from up to down vertically which was successful and separated her right hand from her body.

Then Nnoitora once again swings his Zanpakuto trying to finish Candice who was too focused on her hand but he was instead hit by Meninas.

As Meninas' schrift was Power, Nnoitora has flown away notable distance.

Took the opportunity Candice ordered Giselle to create an arm for her which Giselle did so.

Nnoitora starts to laugh maniacally after taking a hit and stated this is how a fight should be.

"You f*cking battle crazed monster." Candice stated after hearing Nnoitora's sentence.

"Hey, hey. That Zaraki down here is far more battle crazed than me." Nnoitora told the truth before dismissing everything and attacks the girls once again.

Soon after the fight between Nnoitora was heating up, the girls used their Vollstandig, then overpowered Nnoitora with the help of their teamwork.

Nnoitora was standing in mid-air injured, panting but his iconic smile never left his face.

"Why are you smiling like that it's pissing me off?" Candice states.

"Pray. Santa Teresa!!!" As Nnoitora shouts an enormous amount of Spiritual Energy envelops him and dissipates soon after revealing his Resurreccion.

"Ready for round 2, ladies." As Nnoitora states his enormous amount of Spiritual Pressure comes crushing the girls making them breathe heavily.

Nnoitora initiates the attack while laughing to his heart's content.

But his attack was stopped by a fire column.

"Huh?" Nnoitora shifts his gaze to where a column came from.

There he saw four Sternritters ready to engage the battle with the girls.

As soon as Sternritters arrived they attacked Nnoitora, overwhelming him by the sheer number as it was 8 versus 1 since the girls joined others.

Fortunately, Sternritters weren't the only ones who got the reinforcement.

Around Nnoitora who was injured, other Espadas excluding Starrk and Neliel was standing. Menacingly.

"Took you long enough." Nnoitora stands up and states. "Now we match in number."

"You guys retreat to the Hueco Mundo. I will take care of them." Ulquiorra walks forward and orders others which made both sides surprised.

"What are you talking about, Ulquiorra?" Yammy, Grimmjow and Nnoitora asked while others obeyed the order and went to the Hueco Mundo.

"Gathering the arrancars that have been scattered around the Hueco Mundo and reconstructing Las Noches is our main priority." Ulquiorra explains the reason.

"But!!!" The trio tried to protest.

"That's an order from Nova, not me." As Ulquiorra finishes this sentence the trio obeyed the order and left Ulquiorra alone.

Ulquiorra faces the Sternritters and states to them attack altogether as he doesn't have time.

Enraged by the belittling the Sternritters rush to attack but sudden light from above kills almost the entirety of them which surprised Ulquiorra.

At the same time, they all felt an enormous amount of Spiritual Pressure.

Not only are Shinigamis surprised by this sudden burst of Spiritual Pressure, but Schutzstaffel was also surprised.

Yhwach who was in front of the Soul King smirked and said "It's time."

On the other hand, Nova who just got out of the trap stated.

"Start the Last Orchestra."
