"Bankai · Senbonzakura Kageyoshi."
As Rosen's indifferent voice rang out, the Zanpakutō that fell from his hand did not bounce off after touching the cold and hard rock floor of Impel Down LV6. Instead, it seemed to fall into a lake — starting from the tip of the blade, to the blade, and then the handle — until the entire Zanpakutō sank into the ground.

The moment the ground swallowed up all of the Zanpakutō, ripples suddenly appeared in circles, and then one giant Zanpakutō after another rose from the ground through the ripples. Each Zanpakutō was as huge as a giant.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of giant Zanpakutō like this had risen from the ground, as if to occupy all the space on all sides of Infinite Hell and turn it into a terrifying sword formation.
However—
Faced with the sudden change, Catarina Devon and the other prisoners of Infinite Hell were not moved at all.
Their will had reached a state of near insanity.
Even if thousands of giant Senbonzakura were raised, they still couldn't stop the killing.
"Scatter · Senbonzakura Kageyoshi."
Rosen saw this, his eyes did not waver at all — he just said coldly.
Click
Accompanied by the hair-raising sound of blades clashing, the thousands of giant Zanpakutō, without exception, were all shattered from tip to hilt. Under the pink light curtain rising into the sky, they turned into countless cherry blossom blades.
"Has your sword, my junior, reached this level?"
Borsalino looked at the overwhelming cherry blossom blades in front of him, his eyes full of surprise under his sunglasses.
Rosen was well aware that his Zanpakutō could be continuously strengthened by developing his Devil Fruit.
The only thing he didn't expect was that his junior had already developed the ability of the fruit to this extent.
Thinking back to the beginning, when he first saw Senbonzakura, it could only split into thousands of sharp blades. Now, only a few months have passed.
The number of cherry blossom blades that were split into by the fully liberated Senbonzakura Kageyoshi was even greater than the bounty on Gol D. Roger.
Such a short period of time had passed, but the number of Senbonzakura had increased so dramatically.
How could Borsalino not be moved?
"He has really grown up completely!"
Zephyr looked at Rosen standing in the center of the sea of cherry blossom swords, as if he saw a Navy king who looked down upon all the kings — like the rising sun, slowly descending in this sea.
This made him feel very relieved, and even tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.
Even though he had just become a teacher and taught two Admiral-level students, Borsalino and Sakazuki, for the first time, he had never felt as excited and gratified as he did now.
Because he knew very well that training an Admiral-level monster could only ensure the continuity of the Navy's legacy. Even after the change of times, it could still become the overlord of the sea.
However, training a being like Rosen could push the Navy to unprecedented new heights.
"This monster!"
Facing Rosen showing the Senbonzakura Kageyoshi, at this moment even the legends of the old times in the two cells in the deepest part of Infinite Hell — the "Aloof Red" and the "Demon's Heir" — both stood up at the same time.
They looked at the pink sea of swords woven from countless cherry blossom blades flowing like a tide outside their cell, and for the first time felt a slight chill.
It was not just because of Senbonzakura Kageyoshi's power, but also because of Rosen's growth rate.
Just as the legendary powerful men of the Navy and pirates were moved, Rosen suddenly raised his right foot and stomped lightly on the ground.
Shhh
With himself as the center, waves of Armament Haki erupted from his body like magma, and then flowed in all directions along the sea of cherry blossom swords under his feet.
Clang
Clang
Clang
Along with the creepy sound of swords, the pink sea of swords that originally swept in all directions — all the cherry blossom blades — were coated with a chilling black light under the flow and clustering of Armament Haki.
Every tiny cherry blossom blade turned into a black cherry blossom knife.
There were at least billions of small black knives like this.
The black sea of swords passed through every corridor of Infinite Hell, flooded every cell, and covered the entire body of every LV6 prisoner who rushed towards Rosen.
"Farewell, everyone in Infinite Hell."
Rosen muttered, clenching his palm with his outstretched right arm.
Boom
Billions of cherry blossom blades went completely out of control, like a flood bursting through a dam, sweeping across every corner of Infinite Hell with vast and terrifying power.
The rolling torrent of black knives, with its monstrous sharp edges that could cut through mountains and split the earth, drowned the prisoners of Infinite Hell one by one and then dismembered them.
Shhh
Every moment, the sound of sharp blades entering flesh could be heard from the sixth level of Impel Down's prison.
It was as if they were being cut into pieces.
And this kind of death by thousands of cuts did not involve just one person, but a group of people.
There were hundreds of prisoners, all of whom were monsters with bounties exceeding 100 million, and some of them even had a bounty of more than 700 million or 800 million.
However—
No matter whether it was the Zoan type, the Paramecia type, the Ancient Zoan type, or the Mythical Zoan type, in front of Senbonzakura Kageyoshi infused with the majestic Armament Haki, all the ability users were like a bunch of grass in front of a mountain torrent and tsunami.
There was no other outcome except being flooded, flattened, uprooted, and then swept away.
The same—
No matter whether you were a Haki master, a strong physical warrior, or an unparalleled swordsman, facing this rolling torrent of black swords, you would eventually be swallowed up and then ruthlessly dismembered.
Shhh
Amid the continuous sound of tearing cloth, Zephyr, Borsalino, and Shiryu, who were standing at the entrance of the sixth floor, could see it clearly.
In the endless and surging wave of black swords, scarlet blood flowers bloomed one after another, appearing poignant and tragic.
There were hundreds of blood flowers like this blooming at a time.
When new blood flowers stopped blooming and old blood flowers completely withered, the surging sea of cherry blossom swords that seemed to be about to fill all the corridors and cells of Infinite Hell finally began to flow back, like the sea that began to recede after experiencing high tide.
A torrent of black swords reversed madly, and when they approached Rosen, the Armament Haki shrouding the cherry blossom blades began to dissipate.
The black light dissipated, and the cherry blossom blades turned pink again, becoming less solemn and more beautiful.
Clang
Clang
Clang
As the Armament Haki completely dissipated, the returning cherry blossom blades began to regroup, turning into giant Zanpakutō that shot straight into the sky, and then rippled and sank back to the ground one by one.
When all the ripples dissipated, the giant Zanpakutō that had originally stood as tall as a mountain had completely disappeared, as if it had never appeared in this world.
Only the blood-red figures standing like statues in different positions of Impel Down LV6, and the wounds all over their bodies staining the ground with scarlet blood, could prove that the sea of cherry blossom swords that covered the sky just now had descended into Infinite Hell and instantly taken the lives of hundreds of prisoners.
"Cherish it."
"You don't have much time left."
"Patrick Redfield."
Rosen sheathed the Senbonzakura sword, his gaze passing over the prisoners clad in blood-stained suits, each one with a single intact piece of clothing, before finally settling on the deepest depths of Infinite Hell.
"Certainly."
"The same as you."
"Douglas Bullet."
He chuckled, then, surrounded by Zephyr and Borsalino on his left and right, turned and left this Infinite Hell of only blood and death.
