Previously, Szayelaporro used slime to create a clone that was exactly like Zaraki. That technique was called "Carbon-Copy". The clone had all the abilities of the cloned object, but the disadvantage was that it could only imitate.
In the face of ordinary enemies, even if the speed of imitation was a little slower, it could still cause a lot of trouble to the enemy, but in the face of beasts like Zaraki Kenpachi, that momentary flaw of lagging behind was the difference between winner and loser.
But Szayelaporro had no intention of defeating Zaraki with Carbon-Copy.
The clone was essentially to hold the Zaraki for a while.
And after the slime was previously sprinkled all over Zaraki's body, he had quietly used another ability of his.
It's called — Teatro de Titere (Japanese and Spanish for "Puppet Theater")!
If Carbon-Copy was to copy a clone that was exactly the same as the opponent, then Teatro de Titere is to create a voodoo-like doll based on the opponent. Any damage done to the doll's internal organs, accessed by taking them apart and removing the organs (with no damage to the original), is done to the original, debilitating them from the inside.
Of course, Szayelaporro's intention was not to kill Zaraki outright.
He also wanted to use Zaraki as the mother-vessel for his Gabriel and create a stronger body for himself.
However, Zaraki needed to be rendered incapacitated before Gabriel could be performed.
So going with this in mind, Szayelaporro continued to pull the doll in his hand.
Following his movements, Zaraki immediately felt a sharp pain and let out a disgruntled scream.
"Ken-chan!"
As early as when Zaraki started to attack Szayelaporro, Kusajishi Yachiru stepped aside. Seeing that Zaraki was severely injured by Szayelaporro and made a painful sound, Yachiru was immediately worried.
"Yachiru, don't come here."
Zaraki still doesn't understand how Szayelaporro did it, so he must not put Yachiryu in danger.
"But Ken-chan, you..."
Yachiru pulled out her Zanpakuto, clearly worried about Zaraki, and was about to step forward.
On the other side, when Szayelaporro heard their conversation, a playful smile immediately appeared on the corner of his mouth, "You can't protect yourself, but you still have the mood to care about others?"
He continued to torture the doll in his hand.
"Ugh..."
Painful grunts came from Zaraki again.
Yachiru immediately stopped hesitating. She used Shunpo, and came in front of Szayelaporro, the Zanpakuto in her hand was also released by her, "Come out, Sanpo Kenjū!"
Two strange humanoid creatures immediately appeared beside her. The former was a long-faced skull with hair, bony horns on the forehead and jaw, wearing black fur, and holding a halberd. The latter was covered in fur and the only features that could be seen was that it was a two-eyed, pudgy creature holding a kitchen knife.
Yachiru swung her sword, and the two humanoids also did the same towards Szayelaporro in sync with her.
"You don't think such a clumsy attack can hurt me, do you?"
Szayelaporro was very disdainful of Yachiru's attack, and immediately waved the tentacles under him.
Even though Sanpo Kenjū's attack cut off one of the tentacles, more tentacles came one after another, still knocking Yachiru into the air.
"Yachiru...!"
Seeing Yachiru being knocked into the air, Zaraki exclaimed immediately.
Szayelaporro laughed even more wildly when he heard the voice.
"Be helpless, scream, and obediently become my container, in order to create my new body!"
Szayelaporro continued to play with the doll with both hands, constantly bringing pain and torture to Zaraki, and meanwhile another tentacle flew out, entangling Zaraki's whole body in an instant.
Then, Zaraki just felt something extra in his body.
But he didn't care. Compared with these things, what he cared more was that Szayelaporro dared to hurt Yachiru, and it was still right front of him.
Zaraki was furious like never before.
At this moment, he just wanted to kill Szayelaporro immediately.
Even though Szayelaporro was still using the doll in his hand, which brought him endless pain, he endured the pain and pulled off the blindfold on his eyes.
Szayelaporro's tentacles were wrapped around Zaraki's body, just by touching Zaraki's navel, the eggs have been sent into Zaraki's body, and Szayelaporro could feel his new body was being born, but suddenly, he felt Zaraki's reiatsu suddenly skyrocketing.
"This reiatsu, how is it possible..."
Szayelaporro looked horrified, and then immediately, he revealed ecstasy, "It's so wonderful... so wonderful!!"
Zaraki who was enduring pain, had his mouth opened, and a mass of mucus gushed out of his mouth, gathering in mid-air, and vaguely, there seemed to be a figure condensed and forming in it.
"Ken-chan..."
Yachiru, who was blown away, spoke softly, she was very worried.
And Szayelaporro, after the initial horror, was ecstatic. Zaraki's soaring reiatsu was beyond his expectations.
If he could absorb this huge spiritual power, his new body would be stronger than ever.
Feeling the new body taking shape step by step, Szayelaporro continued to manipulate his existing body and controlled Zaraki, and at the same time, transferred his soul to the new body.
As soon as the soul entered the new body, he felt an endless stream of power rushing towards his new body. This was Zaraki's spiritual power, and once Zaraki's spiritual power was drawn by him, it would be Zaraki's death.
"Come, let your death celebrate my birth!"
More and more spiritual power was drawn by Szayelaporro, and his new body was fully formed in a blink of an eye, but because Zaraki's spiritual power had not been drained, he had not yet escaped from him.
As Szayelaporro was enjoying the rush of power, cracks appeared in his newborn body, which was a sign that it was about to explode.
Szayelaporro also realized this too, but he couldn't believe it.
"How can it be?!"
At the same time, the moment that Zaraki let out his powerful reiatsu.
In Las Noches, two figures who had just arrived there sensed it and looked in his direction at the same time.
"It's Captain Zaraki's reiatsu!"
They came to Las Noches a little later than Ichigo and others, and they were roaming without a fixed path as they didn't know where Ichigo and the others were at that moment, but after sensing Zaraki's reiatsu, they immediately had a direction to follow.
Byakuya and Unohana immediately rushed over in the direction from where they sensed Zaraki.
