Bleach Broadcast : Ichigo Has Four Dads?!

Chapter 44: Chapter 44: The Strongest Sword King Returns! Flat Attack Cuts Off Imagination!



At this moment, after Kenpachi Zaraki appeared, countless comments floated by again:

'Welcome back, Lord Kenny! Lord Kenny started slaughtering!'

'The domineering A-rank King has appeared!'

'Once Kenpachi Zaraki shows up, everyone feels secure!'

'Kenpachi: What are A-rank ultimate moves? I'm just too lazy to name them.'

'One of the few show-offs in Bleach who won't get face-slapped has appeared!'

...

In the real world, after witnessing this exciting scene, the audience was shocked and began heated discussions!

[Unohana Retsu]: Captain Zaraki's current state seems highly unusual. Compared to his previous condition, his aura is completely different. Could it be that...

[Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni]: It appears something monumentally important will occur in the future! The beast that is Kenpachi Zaraki has been completely freed from his restraints!

[Kyōraku Shunsui]: Indeed, this is worth celebrating, but the more terrible the power, the greater the sacrifice it may require...

The veterans familiar with Kenpachi Zaraki all vaguely sensed something.

[Kenpachi Zaraki]: What are you all talking about? I just changed my hairstyle. No matter how strong I become, you can understand me, right? I haven't lost to many people except Kurosaki Ichigo. No matter how powerful this guy is, I'll cut him down with one strike!

[Kuchiki Byakuya]: Ah, by the way, what kind of enemy is this person? His abilities... I can't even comprehend them.

[Ukitake Jūshirō]: Whatever he speaks becomes reality. Is this some form of imagination materialization? This must be a joke, right? It has to be divine power. I even suspect he's connected to the Soul King...

Having previously witnessed the unkillable "M" The Miracle - Gerard Valkyrie, Ukitake Jūshirō had doubted the relationship between these Quincy and the Soul King.

[Ichigo Kurosaki]: Indeed, I don't understand it at all. Does he get whatever he desires?

[Ichimaru Gin]: If nothing unexpected happens, this kid should also be a Quincy, right? And this boy seems far more powerful than the previous Quincy.

[Coyote Starrk]: Hard to say. That giant Quincy from before was also incredibly strong. Even when Hitsugaya Tōshirō awakened to his ultimate state, he couldn't be subdued. I wonder what the outcome of that battle was.

[Ulquiorra Cifer]: If he imagines himself to be the strongest, wouldn't he be invincible?

[Aizen Sōsuke]: The utilization of all abilities depends on one's own capabilities. If one's spiritual pressure is insufficient, one certainly cannot realize everything desired. For example, he definitely cannot imagine possessing spiritual pressure equal to mine.

[Tier Harribel]: That's correct. Our Lord Aizen doesn't care how elaborate his tricks are. If his spiritual pressure is inadequate, everything will be futile.

[Kurotsuchi Mayuri]: But this person can actually create life. This is truly remarkable. The old man he created earlier was powerful enough to erase others' vision, consciousness, and memory of himself. Then wouldn't the real master be even more formidable?

[Kenpachi Zaraki]: No matter how powerful he is, I'll kill him next.

[Madarame Ikkaku]: Go get him, Captain! We can't let them bully our Lieutenant! Oh, when can I be as cool as the Captain...

[Abarai Renji]: I wonder if Captain Zaraki can properly use his Zanpakutō at this point? Can we see him release his Zanpakutō now?

[Yachiru Kusajishi]: Go Ken-chan! As long as Ken-chan gets stronger, I'll be very happy!

At this moment, the audience's expectations were once again at their peak.

How should Kenpachi Zaraki deal with such an incredible overpowered ability?

Could he defeat everything with a single attack like before?

In Soul Society, Yachiru Kusajishi and Retsu Unohana also looked at Kenpachi Zaraki with their own complex emotions.

They were both people who anticipated Kenpachi Zaraki becoming stronger.

And they were also deeply concerned about Kenpachi Zaraki's rampage in the current scene. Even to a certain extent, to make Kenpachi Zaraki stronger, they would both need to sacrifice themselves...

But as long as they could help Kenpachi Zaraki reach his peak performance, they were willing to do so!!

...

At this time, in the Wandenreich, the Quincy were also somewhat surprised.

"V" Gremmy, that monster, was actually unleashed?

I wonder how his battle with Kenpachi Zaraki will unfold.

A battle between monsters is truly fascinating!

Seeing that Kenpachi Zaraki was obviously different from before, Yhwach's eyes also gleamed.

"Special War Potential Kenpachi Zaraki seems to have been further awakened..."

"I don't know what he experienced..."

"But I assume it was pressure from us Quincy that triggered his awakening, correct?"

"Well, I want to see how strong you are and whether you can truly become an unknown fighting force that hinders me!"

...

Soon, the screen flashed.

A thrilling battle commenced!

Gremmy constructed a platform from the ground, creating a towering earthen stage as the battlefield for himself and Kenpachi Zaraki.

RUMBLE, RUMBLE, RUMBLE!

The appearance of this platform would expose the battle between Gremmy and Kenpachi Zaraki to countless observers.

A spectacular show was about to begin!

He also declared confidently:

"The stage is prepared for you. After all, this is the famous Kenpachi Zaraki, so naturally it requires a grand stage!"

"I am Gremmy Thoumeaux, who can turn imagination into reality!"

"You should be honored to fight me!"

"Because the strongest person among the Sternritter is me!"

As the one who possessed the holy letter "V" among the Sternritter, he was genuinely confident in himself!

To a certain extent, with such an overpowered ability, claiming to be the strongest besides Yhwach was probably not unreasonable.

He could turn whatever he imagined into reality, primarily creating space, objects, life, and enhancing his own abilities.

He could create almost anything conceivable.

This boy's body was merely created by his imagination.

His true form was actually a brain housed in a transparent container.

Even according to later plot developments, this was very likely the Soul King's brain!!

That's why he could achieve such overpowered abilities and consider himself the strongest Quincy besides Yhwach.

Kenpachi Zaraki sneered at Gremmy's boasting.

"Oh, really the strongest? I couldn't ask for more!"

Zaraki Kenpachi swung his sword and struck down.

CLANG!

Zaraki Kenpachi's blade was actually blocked by Gremmy's body!

The sound of metal clashing stunned the audience!

Gremmy was unharmed and smiled faintly:

"Not hard to understand, right? I simply imagined that I possess steel-hard skin that's impervious to blades and far stronger than actual steel!"

Zaraki Kenpachi said coldly:

"I don't believe your imagination can conjure something I can't cut..."

"I am Kenpachi!!"

"Kenpachi Zaraki!!!"

Soon, Kenpachi Zaraki released enormous spiritual pressure, making his next attack even more lethal.

BOOM!!

Gremmy was finally wounded by Kenpachi Zaraki.

This meant the defense he had imagined still couldn't resist Kenpachi Zaraki's assault!

Gremmy half-knelt on the ground, still somewhat puzzled.

This attack from Kenpachi Zaraki could actually break through his defense?

This was unprecedented!

But he quickly used his imagination to heal his wounds.

Gremmy didn't particularly care about being cut by Kenpachi Zaraki, thinking he had simply been momentarily careless.

...

Comments floated by:

'Is consciousness really so powerful? Don't you know that matter determines consciousness?'

'Haha, you can't imagine how powerful Lord Kenny is!'

'As long as you surpass his imagination within his cognitive scope, you can defeat him.'

'It's unfortunate he's a child who's always been confined and can't emerge. He doesn't know enough about this world, otherwise what he imagines would be stronger.'

'This poor imagination is a waste of this ability.'

'There's no need to fight illusions with him.'

'Lord Kenny's specialty is dealing with fancy abilities.'

'Lord Aizen can also handle fancy tricks!'

...

In the Wandenreich, the Quincy were in an uproar upon hearing Gremmy's self-introduction.

"Hmph, calling yourself the strongest is truly shameless!"

"Obviously, the strongest is me! The Soul King's Heart, Gerard Valkyrie!"

"Alright, alright, don't be so arrogant. You're not worthy of the strongest title. Apart from His Majesty, Captain Haschwalth is definitely the strongest!"

"Hmph, just don't let yourself get face-slapped. Don't let the audience think our Quincy are only at this level."

For a moment, the strongest Quincy were all dissatisfied with Gremmy.

Fortunately, Gremmy was still being contained by Yhwach and hadn't been released.

Otherwise, he would have fought with those who questioned him.

Of course, there was one thing these Quincy understood very well.

When Gremmy was fighting, they must not approach his territory.

At minimum, maintain a safe distance of several kilometers.

Otherwise, he might even affect his own allies.

After all, his imagination had an extremely wide range of influence.

The changes in the world he created were simply jaw-dropping.

He himself couldn't predict what methods he would employ in battle.

Yhwach was also observing the Three Realms Projection very seriously at this time.

In fact, it was difficult for him to gauge how strong this Gremmy truly was.

His ability and actual combat power might be as unpredictable as Special War Potentials like Kurosaki Ichigo.

It just so happened he could use him to test Special War Potential Kenpachi Zaraki!

...

In the scene, the battle between Kenpachi Zaraki and Gremmy quickly attracted countless spectators' attention.

After witnessing the powerful Kenpachi Zaraki, they cheered and began loudly supporting him.

Of course, this was merely annoying noise to Kenpachi Zaraki.

He never fought for others' attention.

At this moment, Gremmy, who was like a child, healed himself while maintaining an innocent and bright smile, completely forgetting he had been cut by Kenpachi Zaraki moments before.

"I won't say boring things like 'I can kill you with just one finger'..."

"Because I don't need to use a finger - I can kill you with just my brain!"

The arrogant Gremmy was actually giving his opponent an advantage by saying this!

Then!

The battle between Kenpachi Zaraki and Gremmy Thoumeaux officially commenced!

BUZZ!!!

Gremmy's spiritual pressure was released!

Countless magma erupted from his mind, rolling, boiling, and surging.

Then, like a massive wave with overwhelming momentum, it rushed toward Kenpachi Zaraki.

WHOOOOSH!

The scorching heat made the audience's lips dry and backs sweat profusely.

However, Kenpachi Zaraki remained unconcerned and sliced through the monstrous lava with his blade!

SWISH!

Like a world-creating giant axe, he split the magma in half with the wind!

The splashing lava melted several layers of the elevated platform.

At this time, Kenpachi Zaraki also mentioned that Yachiru Kusajishi should sit on his shoulders like in the past.

After all, during battle, he didn't have time to look after Yachiru.

But Gremmy smiled and said:

"Under my ability's effect, her bones are as brittle as cookies! If she moves again, she'll definitely suffer compound fractures throughout her body!!"

Kenpachi Zaraki frowned upon hearing this and could only rush forward to fight Gremmy alone.

GURGLE...

The next moment!

A cubic water block suddenly appeared and engulfed Kenpachi Zaraki within it.

Gremmy used this to interfere with Kenpachi Zaraki's sense of timing, then made him fall into a prepared ground fissure.

This ground crack was naturally a product of Gremmy's imagination, just wide enough for one person to fall through.

Then, after Kenpachi Zaraki fell, the ground closed directly!

BANG!!!

Everything inside was crushed to pieces.

Of course, Gremmy didn't think it would be so easy to crush Kenpachi Zaraki.

But there was still plenty of water inside, which should be enough to drown him.

However, Kenpachi Zaraki quickly escaped danger.

BOOM! BOOM!

With just his spiritual pressure, he shattered the entire ground and destroyed the water prison that trapped him.

WHOOSH!

Zaraki Kenpachi leaped up from underground and appeared before Gremmy again.

And at this time, Yachiru Kusajishi reappeared on Zaraki Kenpachi's body.

Zaraki Kenpachi declared loudly:

"I discovered that when I was holding Yachiru just now, her bones had returned to normal. So when you're fighting, you need to devote yourself wholeheartedly. You certainly can't maintain all the things you imagined before, right?"

...

In Soul Society, countless Shinigami were analyzing Gremmy's abilities.

Kyōraku Shunsui's expression was no longer lazy as he spoke seriously about his analysis:

"I feel that although he's very strong, he's not overwhelmingly so..."

Because it was best not to make this information public, Kyōraku Shunsui only communicated face-to-face with the Captains in Soul Society.

"Isn't this guy's imagination too diverse? From lava, water dungeons, ground fissures, etc. - there's everything... He's too difficult to handle."

Kyōraku Shunsui continued:

"However, why didn't he use the ability he employed on Lieutenant Kusajishi before to turn Kenpachi Zaraki's body into cookies? If so, Kenpachi Zaraki definitely wouldn't be able to fight anymore."

Kenpachi Zaraki naturally disdained this notion.

"How is that possible? His imagination must have limits, right? My body won't become that fragile."

Kuchiki Byakuya also agreed.

"No matter how powerful an ability is, as long as one's spiritual pressure is strong enough, it will definitely be negated. At minimum, he can't just wish for me to suddenly die, right?"

Kyōraku Shunsui raised the phenomenon he had just observed.

"Things like lava and water dungeons are concrete objects, so he can imagine them from nothing. This should be a creation ability."

"But he can't directly destroy an object, otherwise it would be impossible to counter!"

"However, it seems he also has moments when he's effective against enemies. When he turned Lieutenant Kusajishi's bones into cookies, it appeared he touched her, allowing him to activate his ability..."

"So if he makes contact with Kenpachi Zaraki, it might also make his bones brittle!"

The other Shinigami were enlightened upon hearing this.

Recalling the previous battle's details, they all found Kyōraku Shunsui's reasoning very sound!

With this realization, everyone felt secretly alarmed.

If Gremmy's ability were to work on them...

Turning meridians, brain matter, and blood vessels to stone...

As long as his imagination wasn't too poor, it would be a fatal blow!

Ukitake Jūshirō said with mixed feelings:

"So when he was fighting Kenpachi Zaraki, he said he wouldn't lift a finger against him. Does that count as a self-imposed restriction?"

Kurotsuchi Mayuri said grimly:

"He's really quite reckless. He thinks he's the strongest and is so arrogant!"

Zaraki Kenpachi couldn't accept it.

"Could it be that he hasn't used his full strength yet? Damn it! Next time I see him, I must find a way to make him go all out."

He had always been the only one who held back against others - when would it be someone else's turn to hold back against him?

Kenpachi Zaraki couldn't accept not fighting an enemy at their strongest state!
