Convince people with reason?
Baraggan snorted. In his opinion, whether it is Nelliel or Harribel, Menos Grande of Vasto-Lorde level, all have their own dignity and arrogance. Words are never enough to persuade.
If they could be persuaded by words, it was not like he didn't say good things when he tried to subdue Harribel, but he was rejected in the end, and because of that incident, he held a grudge against her.
Back then, he had a battle with Starrk, but this battle did not have any of his subordinates present, so the meaning was completely different from that of Harribel. During his negotiation with Harribel, he had many subordinates by his side and in front of those subordinates, Harribel refused him without a second thought, which made Baraggan, the self-proclaimed king of Hueco Mundo, very embarrassed.
Therefore, Baraggan sincerely does not believe Mazuru's words.
(T.L Note: Strong enemies can't be persuaded with words? Naruto says otherwise)
Baraggan knows that Harribel is not an easy character to mess with, Nelliel who looks weak, is also a genuine Vasto-Lorde, so her strength is unquestionable, not to mention Starrk, the withdrawn autonomous Arrancar, whose strength is even more.
"Humph, are you joking with me?"
"What do you mean? You don't believe it?" Mazuru looked at Baraggan.
"Of course I don't believe it!" Baraggan said bluntly and it seemed that flames would jump out from his skeletal eyes.
Mazuru smiled lightly and abruptly mentioned another matter, "Some time ago Tsunayashiro Tokinada came to Las Noches and wanted you to be his dog?"
If Baraggan is blunt, then Mazuru is too much blunt. Saying this in front of Baraggan is testament of his bluntness.
"Shinigami, so you want to piss me off?"
Baraggan was really angry. He had great ambitions and claimed to be the king of Hueco Mundo. In the end, he suffered repeated setbacks and lost to Starrk. He accepted it frankly. After all, Starrk was the only Arrancar in Hueco Mundo at that time.
As an independent Arrancar, his strength is beyond doubt, so Baraggan also admitted that he lost to Aizen.
Then, he met Aizen. Aizen killed all of his subordinates without a sound, and caused serious injuries to him. His strength was also shocking. Aizen then showed him the strength of Arrancars, so he can accept temporarily being subordinate to someone as powerful as Aizen.
(Note: Baraggan never fought with Harribel, he just argued and left)
But then came Tsunayashiro Tokinada, what kind of shit is he?
He even ran up to him straight up wanting to make him a dog!
At that time, Baraggan fought against Tokinada, but found that he was the one who fell into the disadvantage. The endless types of abilities of Tokinada made him feel very passive. Although he could release the power of decay and rotted Tokinada's offensive, but some abilities were so weird that he was still unable to defend against them, and was injured.
Later, relying on the help of the other two Vasto-Lordes, he was able to repel Tokinada.
This made him keep a simmering fire in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Mazuru would bring up Tokinada again in front of him today.
"Piss you? Hehe, you think too much of yourself." Mazuru spoke calmly, he looked at Baraggan and said, "I will not mention the matter of Tokinada, but I just want to say, for you who can't even beat Tokinada while always feeling almighty just because you are the king of Hueco Mundo. It has put limitation on your own strength and your vision has become extremely narrow."
"That's why you think Harribel and others are very powerful, and you're shocked that I subdued them."
"Your so-called shock, in the final analysis, is still your narrow-mindedness. Once something unexpected happens, you will be horrified and inexplicably skeptical."
"Just because you can't do it, doesn't mean others can't do it."
Mazuru spoke with leisure and every time he said a word, the anger in Baraggan's heart grew stronger. What really ignited the anger was Mazuru's next sentence, "I heard that you lost to Starrk back then. And also failed to subdue Harribel."
As soon as these words came out, a terrifying aura was instantly released from Baraggan's skeleton body. The ground where Baraggan stood was also covered with a gray layer and then slowly it became decayed.
When Mazuru felt this aura, he had already used Shunpo to distance himself.
His eyes were calm, he glanced at Baraggan, and said again, "As a king, his aura is really grand-looking."
Around Baraggan's body, there was a layer of gray mist, and in the eyes of the skeleton, there was a flame jumping in each, which made him look very angry.
"Shinigami, that day you only relied on Aizen's help to injure me. I want to see how brave you are now in front of me."
Mazuru's expression did not change. Hearing this, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you want to seek revenge, you should have said it earlier. Besides, are you sure it's not because I subdued the three Vasto-Lordes which you couldn't? Your heart might be a little unbalanced, so you took the initiative to find me, right?"
Baraggan didn't respond, Mazuru came to the Las Noches twice, this is the first time when he took the initiative to find Mazuru, a large part of the reason was that Starrk, a strong Menos Grande who had defeated him, followed Mazuru, which stimulated him.
Mazuru made up his mind, and said again: "According to you, as Mr. Aizen's dog, even if you take the initiative to provoke me, I should have a lot of arrogance and shouldn't bother to care about you. After all, if a dog bites me, I can't just go back and bite the dog again."
"But considering your status as the king of Hueco Mundo, I don't mind playing a little with you. It is to let you understand what it means to convince people with reason."
The so-called convincing people with reason is to beat them first.
Mazuru's body suddenly appeared next to Baraggan, the sword in his hand did not enter its Shikai state but directly slashed at Baraggan.
"Suicidal brat."
The flames in the skeletal eyes of Baraggan's continued to flicker, and under his control, the power of decay approached Mazuru. Even though this shinigami had a close relationship with Aizen, the rules among Hueco Mundo were that the strong preyed on the weak and the strong are always honored.
This shinigami took the initiative to provoke him. As the king of Hueco Mundo, it is reasonable for him to kill Mazuru.
Under the power of decay, everything will decay and perish.
In an instant, the power of decay engulfed Mazuru.
But the next moment, Baraggan was stunned.
What he decayed turned out to be only one of Mazuru's clothing.
Where is Mazuru's body?
The answer is obvious!
A flash of sword appeared and Baraggan was instantly seriously injured.
