Chapter 230 - Chapter 230: Aizen Suddenly Understands

What was going on 110 years ago?

Rukia, who was standing behind Unohana Retsu, was confused. However, she felt like she was getting mixed up in some kind of big trouble.

"Oh, so you really knew all along." Now that things have gotten to this point, Aizen didn't seem to be planning to keep pretending. The sunny smile on his face completely disappeared.

From the moment Tsunayashiro Tokitada showed up here, he could already tell that the other person was on Unohana Retsu's side. If that was the case, it was no surprise that Unohana Retsu knew about the history from 110 years ago.

But he was still a bit curious.

Why would someone like Tsunayashiro Tokitada work with Unohana Retsu? Would a guy who does any little bad thing actually do something good?

Aizen certainly didn't believe it. There must be some key thing he hadn't figured out in this situation. But it didn't matter. He had already finished the preparations he needed to make.

As long as he got Urahara Kisuke's Hogyoku, there wouldn't be anyone in the entire Soul Society who could stop him.

"Treacherous sinner Aizen, is this what I should call you at this time?" Unohana Retsu pressed her right hand on the hilt of her sword, and the slightly curved blade came out of its sheath.

"Oh my. You're wrong, Captain Unohana." Aizen tilted his head and said with a soft smile, "The person who openly freed the prisoner Kuchiki Rukia is you."

Whoosh.

Unohana Retsu didn't waste any more words with him. Her body flickered, and the cold, shining blade went straight for Aizen's right shoulder.

Bang.

A blue, transparent shield appeared out of nowhere, blocking Unohana Retsu's strike. That was Aizen's Million Shield. Unohana Retsu had shattered at least hundreds of thousands of them with this strike, but it still didn't break through the defense.

Swish.

A cold light flashed, and Aizen also drew his Zanpakuto to meet Unohana Retsu. The blade went from left to right, drawing a silver light in the air.

Unohana Retsu didn't dodge or avoid it. As if she knew what was coming, she raised her sword and flicked it to the right, the tip of the sword pointing straight at Aizen's heart.

Bang.

The sword was still blocked by a blue shield, unable to go any further. But Aizen frowned slightly, a hint of confusion on his face.

His blade had clearly attacked first, but Unohana Retsu's sword had arrived at the attack point faster than his. This was simply strange. If he hadn't had the Hogyoku protecting him, he probably would have been injured by this attack.

Was it the difference in sword speed?

Aizen didn't think so. Although Unohana Retsu's sword speed was indeed fast, it hadn't reached the point where he couldn't handle it. If he really had to say, the reason should be the sword skills?

Yes, it was the sword skills.

After clashing a few more times, Aizen took the initiative to retreat. Every time she struck, his opponent seemed to be able to predict his moves and take the opportunity to launch an attack on him first.

If he continued to fight like this, he would only be getting hit.

Watching Aizen take the initiative to leave the fighting range, the expression on Unohana Retsu's face didn't change, but behind the scenes, she secretly sent a message in the group: Tsk, he found out.

This is an Actor: Finding out was certain. Aizen isn't that stupid.

Doujin Artist: The Nine Swords of Dugu is really strong! In terms of swordsmanship alone, Aizen is completely overwhelmed.

Amegakure Village's Angel: Even the Nine Swords of Dugu depends on the person. If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't be able to do it to Sister Hana's level.

Curly-haired Guy: Hmm. If you replaced her with Eriri-chan, she would probably be killed by Aizen in a matter of seconds.

Doujin Artist: Damn, it's like you wouldn't be killed in a matter of seconds.

Curly-haired Guy: Hmph, I won't! Gin-san, if I cover my head with my bear underwear, even Aizen will be stunned for a few seconds, right?

Machete Girl: ?

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Gin, you're not right!

Scarlet Lotus Fairy: Your way of acting stupid is unprecedented.

Doujin Artist: What about your samurai spirit? What about your samurai soul? How can you still call yourself a samurai like this?

Curly-haired Guy: Samurai don't act according to common sense!

Shark-Faced Guy: It seems like Uzumaki Naruto said that. Did you pay him the copyright fee?

Curly-haired Guy: Shut up! Watch the live broadcast carefully, you bastards!

"As expected of the first Kenpachi." Aizen's expression didn't change on the screen, and he praised softly, "In terms of swordsmanship, you've probably reached the peak of the Soul Reaper. However, the outcome of a Soul Reaper's fight isn't determined by the strength of swordsmanship."

As soon as he finished speaking, his body suddenly turned into light and disappeared.

Unohana Retsu's eyes narrowed, and she subconsciously raised her sword to block horizontally. However, the light points that Aizen had turned into suddenly bypassed her left side and appeared on her right.

Shred.

White pieces of cloth flew around.

A clear cut appeared on Unohana Retsu's right shoulder. The haori was cut open, revealing the black shihakusho underneath.

"Oh, you were able to dodge under those circumstances?" Aizen smiled and said in a gentle voice, "What a terrifying reaction speed. I was originally planning to cut off one of your arms."

"Should I thank you for showing mercy?" Unohana Retsu retorted.

In fact, it wasn't any reaction speed at all. It was Uchiha Madara's remote assistance using the laws of space. Otherwise, her arm might not have been cut off, but she would definitely have been bleeding and injured.

"Ah, there's no need to thank me." Aizen didn't care about the other person's verbal sparring. He said calmly, "If possible, I hope you can clear up a question for me. Why did you choose to reveal your hand to me at this time?"

He didn't ask the other person any stupid questions like, "Since you already know my true colors, why didn't you report me to the Captain Commander?" Anyone with half a brain knew that there was no way to report a captain without any concrete evidence.

And in this situation, the best method should be to lie low and wait for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow. Looking at the current situation, Unohana Retsu suddenly revealed her hand. Did she think that this opportunity had arrived?

Why was she so confident? Was it because of that young man?

"You'll find out soon enough about this kind of thing." Unohana Retsu said meaningfully.

Huh?

Aizen's expression froze, and he suddenly caught a strange spiritual pressure wave. It was the information transmission from the Heavenly Messenger, but it didn't notify him?

"I see." Aizen, who had suddenly understood, finally came to his senses. The corners of his mouth turned up and he said, "So that's your backup plan. It seems like I underestimated you a bit." He turned his wrist and struck out with his sword.

Unohana Retsu didn't take it head-on, and simply dodged to the side. The streak of sword light brushed past her side, leaving a deep ravine on the ground that stretched far into the distance.

Rumble.

That hilly area was directly cut in half from the middle. A simple strike changed the entire terrain.

And after Aizen swung his sword, he didn't bother with Unohana Retsu anymore. His body had already appeared in front of Kuchiki Rukia. He reached out his left hand and lifted her up high.
