T.L Note: The author of this fanfic has shipped Rangiku with Mazuru who already had love interests, but it was a one-time thing and then they was acted ambiguous. I for one, personally support Gin and Rangiku as a pair when in this fanfic Mazuru and Rangiku basically just had a one-time thing, but these all things depend on you guys. I will start a poll where you guys will choose whether I should follow Mazuru and Rangiku's pair or do some slight changes and pair Rangiku with Gin.
Poll is live in my Patr eon. Everybody can vote regardless they are paid members or not.

Many years ago, before Mazuru had learned Shunpo, Mazuru created (copied) Soru by using reiatsu on the soles of his feet to generate high-frequency vibrations to increase his movement speed. Later, after mastering Shunpo, he even combined the two, as a result his speed increased again.
After that he learned this technique, the real pinnacle technique regarding speed in this world… Shunkō!
Shunkō is a technique developed by Yoruichi and Kisuke that combines Kidō and Hakuda. When entering this state, the user's every move possesses the destructive power of Kidō.
(T.L Note: In the original, Kisuke and Yoruichi developed Shunkō, but in this one mc helped Yoruichi.)
Similarly, in this state, one's own speed will also be greatly improved.
Therefore, when Mazuru has entered the state of Shunkō, his speed can be regarded as 1+1+1>3.
Shunpo, shinigami version of Soru and Shunkō!
With such buffs, even though Starrk is Hueco Mundo's first self-evolved Arrancar and his strength is far superior to the current Arrancars even at the beginning of the plot, he still kept the rank Primera (1st) Espada. His Sonído's speed was still slower than Mazuru's speed.
In addition to the terrifying speed, the power of Mazuru's slashes also exceeded Starrk's expectations.
It's neither sword pressure nor it's Zanpakuto's ability, it's... Kidō condensed blade!
To be precise, it should be Hadō #78—— Zangerin (Slicing Flower Ring).
However, unlike the normal Zangerin, Mazuru's move is almost instantaneous, which is also one of the results of his intensive training and research on Shunkō.
Whether it is the more powerful versions of Shunkō shown by Yoruichi in the original book, or Sui-Feng's Mukyū Shunkō (Infinite Shunkō), they are all advance forms of Shunkō developed on the basis of Shunkō combined with their personal fighting styles.
Before Mazuru learned the basic shinigami skills, he was undoubtedly best at slashing.
So after learning Shunkō, he thought about a question, the sword is like an extension of the limbs, since Kidō can be wrapped around the limbs, can go further and wrap around the sword.
And among the many Kidōs, there is only one that is most suitable for combining with Zanpakuto and that is Zangerin.
In this state, the Zangerin cast by Mazuru is much faster than the one that is used after abandoning the chant, but its power is equal to its power when used with chant.
Blood spurted out, dyeing the white sand on the ground red.
As if Starrk couldn't feel the pain, he let the blood continue to spill, while he himself looked at Mazuru and said in a low voice, "Shinigami."
"Starrk..."
While Starrk was speaking, Lilynette also came to Starrk at an extremely fast speed.
Mazuru realized what Starrk was going to do, but he didn't stop him.
Starrk glanced at Lilynette, then suddenly reached out and pressed his hand on her head.
A deep voice suddenly sounded, "Give Chase, Los Lobos!"
In an instant, a mighty reiatsu erupted.
Nelliel, who was not far away, had no choice but to turn around and retreat further away while staring in Starrk's direction in horror.
The Cero released by Starrk earlier made her feel the power of Starrk.
Such a powerful Cero, combined with that elusive speed, if he suddenly flashed to her side and hit her, she knows that she would never be able to bear it, Mazuru showed faster speed than Starrk and severely injured Starrk, it had already suprised Nelliel a little.
But it turned out that Starrk in that state was not at his peak.
Combined with the broken mask on Starrk's face, Nelliel couldn't help but think of an ability possessed by the best of the first generation Arrancars in the Las Noches.
"Resurrección."
Starrk naturally doesn't know what Resurrección is, he didn't even knew the name of Sonído. These abilities which he uses are all abilities that he knew instinctively after becoming an Arrancar.
He didn't know when it started, since he had consciousness, he was extremely powerful, but because he was too strong, all weak creatures who approached him automatically died.
The situation become such that he had no companions and always remained alone.
He didn't liked killing, but he didn't liked being alone even more.
In order to relieve his loneliness and restrain his strength, he split his soul and the split part of him is Lilynette.
Nelliel previously guessed wrong, Lilynette is not another Arrancar, she is a part of Starrk, she is Starrk's... Resurrección.
The powerful reiatsu erupted, blowing away the white sand and the spirits in the air stirred wildly. After the storm subsided, Lilynette's figure had disappeared, and Starrk's appearance had also changed. He looked much more ruthless. Before, he was like a decadent middle-aged uncle, but now he looks like a hunter.
At the same time, there is an extra eye patch on his left eye. There are also pistols on each of his two hands. What's more, the wounds on his body that were inflicted by Mazuru also disappeared.
"Sure enough, no matter how serious the injury is, it will recover after the Resurrección..."
Nelliel whispered to herself, after staying in the Las Noches for so long, although she and Harribel did not became Arrancar, but because of their pursuit of the Arrancar's power, they also learned some information about the power that Arrancars possesses.
Sonído, Cero and Hierro (Steel Skin) that surpasses the ordinary Menos Grande, these are just the basic abilities of the Arrancars. The truly powerful one is the ability to return to their original form after using Resurrección.
Just like how reiatsu will skyrocket after a shinigami liberates his/her Zanpakuto, Arrancar's reiatsu will also skyrocket after using Resurrección.
"Shinigami, with your strength, you must have mastered Bankai. I advise you to quickly use it. If you don't use it now, I'm afraid you won't have a chance later."
Starrk's calm voice sounded. But he spoke the latter part of the sentence in a voice that only he could hear.
"Otherwise I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, I'll kill you..."
Mazuru smiled lightly. Starrk stopped talking and raised one of his pistol in his hand.
*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*
In an instant, several beams of light were released from the pistol in his hand, Mazuru turned around to avoid them, and they landed on the desert in the distance, causing an explosion far more powerful than the previous Cero.
Nelliel was shocked again.
"Are they... all Cero?"
This kind of release speed and this kind of power made her horrified, and what made her even more horrified was the frequency of Cero's release.
Because when Mazuru dodged the first few shots, Starrk raised the other pistol in his hand and to her surprise, with both guns in hand, endless Ceros were released.
In just a split second, no one knows how many times Starrk unleashed Cero.
He didn't care if he could find Mazuru's figure, under such high-intensity attack, as long as Mazuru slacks off even the slightest bit, he would be hit by a Cero, causing either serious injury or worse, death.
