Chapter 281 - Chapter 281: The Only Hope

After being told about his biggest secret by Yachiru to his face, Sojiro's expression changed slightly behind the mask.

But immediately, he calmed down his emotions.

Since he chose to use Hyōrinmaru just now, there was nothing to hide, after all, the Hyōrinmaru in his hand was his Zanpakuto, no one could deny this, or did everyone here thought that this Hyōrinmaru belonged to Toshiro?

"So what?"

Sojiro's replied with an indifferent voice.

"You are a shinigami and I have nothing to say to you guys, you guys won't understand anything anyway."

Soul Society and Seireitei were not as good as the shinigami think or perceive.

So according to Sojiro, there was no point in him conversing with a shinigami since they won't understand or rather believe and acknowledge the filth present in Soul Society.

Sojiro didn't say anything to Yachiru, he came close to her only because Maki was standing close to her. Unlike these shinigami, Maki was someone who harbored anger towards Seireitei, particularly towards Zaraki. So he was a little curious about why Maki really betrayed them and joined with Soul Society.

After hearing the whole story from Maki, he immediately turned around and left from there.

He found a remote place and continued to watch the battle.

Although Mazuru's purpose is somewhat unclear from the beginning till now, the fight between Mazuru and Gotei 13's captains was undoubtedly something he was happy to see.

Byakuya's containment from the side, after all, was lacking. Not to mention, the continuous consumption of his reiatsu was putting strain on him. Similarly, Unohana's offense in the frontal battle against Mazuru was also not going according to the desirable direction expected by the captains.

In the final analysis, Mazuru really knows her too well.

The two had fought in secret far too many times, and Mazuru learned many sword techniques from her. Now that they were in a real battle rather than spar match, he doesn't need to learn anymore, so he doesn't need to use his body to experience Unohana's sword.

On the contrary, because of his understanding of Unohana's battle style and techniques, he was able to predict Unohana's subsequent attack in advance.

Therefore, when Unohana's sword was about to hurt him, and was about to dissolve his body using the blood seeping from her blade, he took advantage of the situation and quietly avoided the blade at the last moment and hit Unohana hard.

Blood splattered.

Unohana looked at the blood flying in the air, her eyes became a little blurred for just a moment when suddenly, cherry blossoms struck Mazuru from the side and taking advantage of the opportunity that Byakuya provided her, Unohana retreated to the side, temporarily putting distance between her and Mazuru.

Zaraki immediately took her place as the main attacker, not paying attention to the amount of blood dripping from his body, he had already suffered serious injuries, but he still continued to swing his sword, slashing at Mazuru, shouting words such as "happy" and "fun".

Not to mentioning Zaraki's single fighting method, Mazuru had to commend him for his love for fighting as it was really unmatched.

Unohana who had opened up a distance between her and Mazuru, looked at Zaraki who was being stabbed by Mazuru again and again, and sighed, "The attacks are being thoroughly seen through…"

She didn't explain whether she was talking about herself or Zaraki.

Maybe both, because her attack just now was seen through by Mazuru, Mazuru waited to dodge her attack at the last moment and wound her back, while Zaraki and his clumsy attacks, were seen through by Mazuru from the very beginning.

"However, compared to before, it seems to have improved a lot."

Previously, Zaraki was simply stabbed one-sidedly by Mazuru, without Byakuya and her assistance, he was not even able to touch Mazuru.

But right now, it seemed that because he suffered several losses, he even learned to launch some counterattacks, some that even Mazuru was barely avoiding.

"Is it because meeting a stronger enemy aroused your competitive spirit and started awakening the sleeping power that was sealed off by you?"

Unohana knew exactly what kind of power Zaraki had inside that body of his.

Before meeting Mazuru, the deepest scar on her body was left by Zaraki.

"Maybe, maybe we can beat him."

An idea gradually came to Unohana's mind.

She was obviously no match for Mazuru.

After all, after fighting Mazuru so many times, Mazuru knew all her attack methods. On the other hand, it was opposite for Mazuru. When fighting her, because he wanted to learn her sword skills, he only used sword techniques and did not use any other methods except his Bankai's immortality.

It was basically impossible for her to defeat Mazuru.

It was impossible to reproduce the scene where Mazuru was killed a total of thirty-seven times in a row.

But Zaraki was different, Zaraki's body contained unparalleled power that he yet had to tap into, if he could awaken that power, maybe he could defeat Mazuru

Just as Yachiru had great faith in Zaraki, Unohana also had great faith in Zaraki.

Stepping aside, Unohana did not continue to attack Mazuru, but instead used Kaidō to heal her wounds, and soon, the wounds cut by Mazuru on her body recovered.

Then, she looked at Byakuya on the side, and said in a deep voice, "Captain Kuchiki, from now on, Captain Zaraki will be the main attacker."

Byakuya was taken aback for a moment.

It's not that he had doubts about Zaraki's strength, but Zaraki, was he even okay at this point?

Not to mention that Zaraki was already badly injured right now, even in his prime, he would at most have killed Mazuru once or twice, leaving Mazuru with dozens of rebirths remaining.

It doesn't make sense to kill him just once or twice.

On the contrary, according to his estimations, Zaraki himself would reach the end of his life because of this.

But since Unohana, a veteran captain and now with another of her identity that Byakuya came to know, said so.

He could only choose to cooperate with her plan.

After all, Unohana was also the person who knew Mazuru's methods the best among them, and it was also her abilities that revealed the way to defeat Mazuru.

Therefore, Byakuya continued to manipulate Senbonzakura, interfering with Mazuru's movements, this time mainly assisting Zaraki.

Zaraki also continued to swing his sword, continuously attacking Mazuru like an injured beast.

Unohana's voice sounded next to Zaraki's ear, "You don't have to worry about your injuries, go and fight him as much as you want, and leave all your injuries to me!"

In addition to being First Kenpachi, she was also the contemporary captain of Fourth Division.

While speaking, green light flew out from Unohana's palm and fell on Zaraki's body. Zaraki felt that his wounds were healing rapidly.

He froze for a moment after hearing Unohana's shouts, but then he grinned, "That's the best thing I have heard today!"

His slashes became more and more sharp.

Unohana looked at Zaraki, who was fighting with Mazuru, and was being injured by Mazuru halting him for a short moment, but soon, he was healed by her and continued to launch a series of new attacks.

And every new offensive of his was stronger than the previous one!

'That's right, that's it, continue to become stronger in the battle until you regain your original power!'

'And before that, I am guaranteeing it that you will not die!'
