When it comes to fighting, the Eleventh Division is always full of energy.
What's more, this was a rare opportunity to challenge their Captain.
Ikkaku Madarame had just sent out a message using Tenken Kūro, and in less than three minutes, the dojo was packed with people.
They were all eager to try, clenching their fists, but they couldn't bring themselves to gang up on one person, so they didn't rush forward immediately.
Aozaki Reiji glanced at Ichimaru Gin and the other three not far away.
Ichimaru Gin wore a casual smile on his face.
Ryusui and Izumo were full of admiration, as if they had never considered that he might lose.
Only Lisa Yadōmaru's eyes showed a fleeting hint of worry.
Aozaki Reiji smiled, feeling somewhat pleased.
It was not in vain that he had devoted himself to creation, neglecting sleep and food, recreating in this world what he had accumulated in his previous life, to the point that even the Ninth Squad's editorial department had published his books.
All of this was worth it!
"Shinetsu Captain, I am no match for you," Ikkaku Madarame said frankly.
Through their previous exchange, he understood that the gap in strength between himself and Aozaki Reiji was more than just one level.
He had gone all out just now, but the other party had merely casually struck, sending him flying, and the large hole in the door had still not been repaired.
Leaving aside physical strength, his Zanpakuto could even defeat a Bankai with just its Shikai.
Just thinking about the feeling of helplessness Kenpachi Kiganjo and the Squad members experienced when sparring against that rock armor was enough.
If Aozaki Reiji's Zanpakuto was truly as rumored, then after Shikai, it would probably leave nothing but dust of him.
It would be too ridiculous to die at the hands of his own Captain instead of on the battlefield.
"It's alright, I'm not here to kill..."
Aozaki Reiji looked at Ikkaku Madarame with a smile, eagerly pressing his knuckles.
"I'm also taking this opportunity to get to know everyone in the Eleventh Division."
"It's fine to release your Zanpakuto!"
Ikkaku Madarame gave a wry smile, but since the words had been spoken, he understood that he couldn't back down, otherwise, it would be the entire Eleventh Division's reputation on the line.
"Alright!"
He let out a loud shout, gripping the sword sheath at his waist.
"Roar, Toramaru!"
Drawing his Zanpakuto, flames covered the blade.
A fire-type Zanpakuto, what a coincidence, this temperature can no longer affect me... Aozaki Reiji grinned.
The Eleventh Division has always been a combat Squad, but the Eleventh Division at this time was slightly different from the Zaraki Kenpachi era in later generations.
At this time, the Eleventh Division's style also favored direct, head-on combat, but they did not reject using Kido in battle, nor did they have a preference for direct attack-type Zanpakuto.
"Then come on, Third Seat Ikkaku!"
As his voice fell, Aozaki Reiji's figure flashed, appearing in front of Ikkaku Madarame in the blink of an eye.
The moment Aozaki Reiji moved with astonishing speed, Ikkaku Madarame's pupils contracted, and his Toramaru instinctively slashed forward.
Bang!!
Before Ikkaku Madarame could even react, a fist slammed heavily into his abdomen, sending him flying backward like a broken kite, crashing through the wooden wall.
Completely defenseless!
The surrounding Eleventh Division Squad members all froze, some even involuntarily swallowing their saliva.
Aozaki Reiji didn't pause at all, extending a finger towards the crowd, then beckoning, a provocative smile on his lips, as if saying:
"He's no good, all of you come at me!"
The Eleventh Division Squad members' anger surged from their hearts.
They had always been called battle maniacs among the Gotei 13, and they had never endured such humiliation. They immediately stopped holding back and swarmed forward.
The sound of footsteps on the floor, the roar of thunder, the whisper of the wind, and so on, continuously echoed within the dojo.
Ichimaru Gin, watching from a distance, looked calm.
Ryusui, Izumo, and Lisa Yadomaru widened their eyes, holding their breath as they watched this fierce one-against-many confrontation.
"Good!!"
Aozaki Reiji's eyes gleamed brightly, as he sidestepped a heavy punch coming from a seated officer, and as he slid forward, his unremarkable fist suddenly slammed out.
Bang!!
A ripple of punch-induced air exploded on the seated officer's distorted face, sending him flying diagonally upward.
With a tearing sound, electric light flashed sharply, and currents shot out like agile white snakes.
A seated officer's eyes glinted fiercely as he swung the long blade in his hand, manipulating lightning to attack Aozaki Reiji.
Aozaki Reiji instantly traversed several meters, appearing like a ghost beside the seated officer, raising his left hand, and delivering a powerful hand chop towards the seated officer's head.
The seated officer only felt a sharp pain assault his head, and his entire body was uncontrollably sent flying into the air.
The next instant, his head slammed heavily onto the ground, shattering the dojo floor.
A Squad member swayed and came to Aozaki Reiji's side, his axe-like Zanpakuto raised high above his head.
Aozaki Reiji reached out a hand, firmly grasping the Squad member's face, and pushed him forcefully against the wall, breaking a hole through the wooden wall.
From a distance, a tall, short-haired Squad member ran over, three or four heads taller than Aozaki Reiji, his muscles bulging as he threw a punch.
Bang!!
A pale hand blocked the attack.
"Good strength, do you mainly train in Hakuda? We can spar sometime in the future," Aozaki Reiji nodded, "But for now, you should leave the stage!"
Aozaki Reiji grabbed the tall Squad member's wrist, turned, and flung him away, knocking down a large group of Squad members.
Immediately after, he lowered his waist slightly, and his fists struck out with astonishing speed, transforming into countless black shadows, attacking the bodies of the Squad members in front of him like a violent storm.
"You won't die."
Aozaki Reiji said softly.
"What?"
Everyone was stunned.
Bang bang bang bang!!
Dense, drum-like thudding impacts continuously erupted on everyone's bodies, and the figures in front of him instantly scattered.
Lisa Yadomaru watched the scene before her with a look of utter astonishment.
Is this the Captain's strength? Come to think of it, she had never seen her own Captain fight at full power; would he also perform like this?
Numbers simply held no meaning before him!
......
An hour later.
Aozaki Reiji stood in the center of a pile of people, countless Squad members either lying prone or supine, gasping for breath on the floor.
The Eleventh Division's Squad Barracks were riddled with potholes everywhere, and even the Squad Barracks' surrounding wall was not spared.
Their tattered Shinigami robes were stained with blood, and blood trickled from the corners of the Squad members' mouths.
Ryusui, Izumo, and Lisa Yadomaru were already watching with blank expressions.
They had never witnessed such a battle in their lives.
To think there was a Shinigami who could defeat an entire Squad without using a Zanpakuto, relying only on Hakuda.
Even if this Squad had a severe shortage of mid-to-high-level combatants, they were still a combat Squad, each seasoned in countless battles.
This was truly shocking!
"You're still the same as before, strong as a monster," Ichimaru Gin walked forward, his expression composed.
Overall, the Eleventh Division Squad members' Reiatsu was not as strong as the prisoners in the Maggot's Nest.
However, the threat level of a Shinigami with a Zanpakuto is completely different from one without.
Aozaki Reiji waved his hand, "Actually, this is nothing. You'll be able to do the same as me sooner or later."
"How is that possible..." Ichimaru Gin rolled his eyes.
