Chapter 157: Meeting After A Hundred Years, Yadoumaru Lisa
The battle of Karakura Town continues. Because of the Visored's arrival, the situation has become more complicated and confusing.
Kurosaki Ichigo, whose life was spared by Fiander, also brought the Shinigami party who invaded Hueco Mundo back to the present world, and the battle for Hueco Mundo came to an end.
The camera turns to show Starrk still fighting against Kyoraku and Ukitake. Although he can release Cero without restriction after achieving Resurreccion, facing Ukitake's Zanpakuto's strange ability, his powers are strictly limited.
And simultaneously facing these two captains with perfect understanding and coordination, even as the Number One Arrancar, he finds the situation quite troublesome.
Swoosh!
Starrk, who sidestepped Kyoraku's sneak attack again, already had sweat on his forehead.
In the hundreds of previous exchanges with his opponents, whenever he released Cero, the white-haired captain who looked very weak would use Shunpo to reach him, absorb his own Cero and reflect it back.
And during this gap period, he had to face Kyoraku's strange attacks with Katen Kyokotsu, which were difficult to defend against—quite annoying.
"Yeah, Mr. Arrancar, have you given up attacking? It seems you've only been dodging since that large-scale assault."
"Not good enough to fight alone!"
After the sneak attack failed, Kyoraku didn't stop, taunting while launching another wind blade.
"If you keep saying stupid things, it's just that I don't want to waste too much energy fighting you!"
No matter how good-tempered Starrk was, facing such a combination of scoundrels made him feel very annoyed.
Facing the oncoming wind blade, Starrk inserted both muskets into the holsters around his waist. Holding his hands horizontally, a long spear gathered by Reiatsu suddenly appeared in his hand.
"Break!"
With the release of Reiatsu from Starrk's body, the wind blade shot by Kyoraku was instantly shattered and dissipated before approaching. The muskets Starrk had placed in his holsters transformed into flashes of blue light, turning into blue silk that wrapped around his body, swaying freely with the wind.
"I hate fighting so much that I just want to avoid you. But Fiander warned me about this many times."
"Because... most of these troubles are involuntary. The more you hate them, the closer they come to you."
"That's it, Mr. Captain. It's been a pleasure chatting with you, but... I'm tired."
"Wolves Break!"
As Starrk threw the blue spear wrapped in electric current at Kyoraku, the entire sky was suddenly covered with blue thunder and white light.
"Get out of the way, Kyoraku!!"
Seeing that Kyoraku didn't respond for a long time, Ukitake on the side had no choice but to Shunpo to Kyoraku and throw him down. The spear thrown by Starrk grazed Ukitake's back and landed directly on Karakura Town's ground.
BOOM!!
With a deafening explosion, a massive mushroom cloud almost covered half the range of the transformation pillar. After the explosion, the ground trembled—Ulquiorra's Thunder Spear could be said to pale in comparison.
Tens of seconds later, the blue light covering half of Karakura Town dissipated, and a crater several kilometers deep appeared on the ground after being struck by Starrk. Everyone's attention in the air was drawn to this terrifying blow.
When the smoke cleared, Ukitake was half-kneeling in the air, and Kyoraku was supporting him anxiously: "Sorry, are you injured?"
"Cough!" Ukitake coughed lightly but forced a smile: "It's okay. It's just that the opponent's Reiatsu grazed my back, but it was so close—fortunately it didn't hit directly. Cough cough!"
Seeing Ukitake's pale face, Kyoraku blamed himself. If he hadn't needed saving, Ukitake wouldn't have been hurt.
Thinking of this, Kyoraku used Shunpo to bring Ukitake to a safe place and set him down: "I'm sorry. You should rest well now. Besides, we still have reinforcements, right?"
After saying this, Kyoraku launched Shunpo again and came to Starrk. At this time, Starrk's appearance had changed considerably from before.
Long black hair spread to his waist. His previously unshaven face now looked very delicate.
His body's surface overflowed with thick spiritual particles. If a person wasn't strong enough, they would simply be swallowed by such rich spiritual particles just by being near him in this environment.
To put it simply, their bodies couldn't bear such high-concentration spiritual particles and would be torn apart.
"You really are a monster, Mr. Arrancar. This must be your true appearance."
After Kyoraku finished speaking, three figures suddenly flashed behind him. The people who appeared were Visored members.
They were the former Ninth Division captain—Muguruma Kensei.
The former Seventh Division captain—Love Aikawa, and the former Eighth Division vice-captain—Yadoumaru Lisa.
"Hey, I haven't seen you all in many years, especially you... Lisa-chan."
When the last name was mentioned, Kyoraku's eyes sank and he didn't dare look directly at the other party.
After all, since that incident, Kyoraku had always blamed herself, often regretting why she had sent Lisa on that mission alone.
"It's really embarrassing... Captain."
Looking at Kyoraku with a haggard face, Yadoumaru Lisa showed an indescribable emotion in her eyes.
Despite not seeing each other for more than a hundred years, Yadoumaru Lisa still held affection for her captain, Kyoraku Shunsui. After all, that incident had occurred because she volunteered, and Kyoraku had arranged for her to go. Even Head Captain Yamamoto had reprimanded Kyoraku for it.
"Everyone, let's stop chatting here. I thought you, as the leader of the Eighth Division, could solve this problem, and I also wanted to save energy to deal with Aizen."
"I didn't expect such an accident. This level of Reiatsu is simply unheard of."
Muguruma Kensei carefully observed Starrk's new form and spoke with a grave expression.
"Why don't you call Hirako for this kind of monster? Lisa-chan, why don't you and Hirako switch?"
Love Aikawa said jokingly.
"Hey, hey, don't underestimate me." Yadoumaru Lisa, wearing black-rimmed glasses, ignored the two and slowly drew her Zanpakuto.
"Don't be careless, Lisa-chan!" Seeing that Yadoumaru Lisa was about to move, Kyoraku subconsciously spoke.
"You're so talkative, Captain. Who do you think I am? I'm Yadoumaru Lisa from Visored."
"Come forth, Tekken Tsuchinanako!"
With Yadoumaru Lisa's Zanpakuto transforming into a spear-shaped flat blade, a vice-like grip covered her face.
"I'm going first!"
