Ōban Danjirō looked like a sunny, cheerful big boy, clearly a good person. Even if he lost a fight with such a person, he wouldn't lose too badly.
Furuoki Ōtogawa had just joined the Gotei 13 and hadn't shown his true colors, but from his appearance, he shouldn't be a master; he was probably just a noble young master.
Thinking of this, the Tsunayashiro Head's face showed a malicious grin. "Which noble young master in Seireitei could defeat him now? This Furuoki Ōtogawa was most likely a good-for-nothing!"
He wondered what methods he used to gain the Captain Commander's recognition.
"I've seen the abilities of the other Captains, but I haven't seen this new Captain. How about we exchange a few moves?" the Tsunayashiro Head said with a triumphant expression.
Enrakyōten's ability was terrifying; it could even replicate abilities like Kyōka Suigetsu and Ryujin Jakka, and perhaps now even Silver Radiance Angel.
As long as the opponent's spiritual pressure wasn't too much higher than his own, he could easily crush them with his flashy abilities.
Furuoki Ōtogawa said nothing, but instead turned his gaze to Yamabuki beside him, roughly meaning: "Will I get my salary deducted if I beat him up?"
Yamabuki had long been displeased with the Tsunayashiro Head, who held the title of Gotei 13 but never did any work.
However, he usually had to save face and couldn't openly fall out with him. Now, good, you've come knocking on my door, so don't blame me for being impolite.
Yamabuki whispered to Furuoki Ōtogawa: "Beat him to death, on the premise that he doesn't actually die."
Furuoki Ōtogawa's mouth twitched slightly. It seemed these two didn't get along, so he shouldn't be blamed. The Chief of Staff told him to do it.
Furuoki Ōtogawa gently drew his sword and came before the Tsunayashiro Head.
The Tsunayashiro Head drew Enrakyōten. The Great Spirit Book Repository recorded all events that had occurred in Soul Society throughout history, including the abilities of everyone's Zanpakuto.
And the Tsunayashiro Family's profession was to guard the Great Spirit Book Repository. Infinite knowledge combined with Enrakyōten's ability meant that anyone who wasn't a good-for-nothing with a sword could easily crush Vice Captain-level individuals.
"I've found the most bizarre Zanpakuto ability in all of Soul Society, watch out!" The Tsunayashiro Head's face showed an extremely triumphant smile.
A faint silver-white light emanated from Enrakyōten. Yamabuki narrowed his eyes, "Has he replicated my Silver Radiance Angel?"
Furuoki Ōtogawa gripped his Zanpakuto with both hands and launched a Shunpo surprise attack.
His Zanpakuto couldn't directly enhance his combat power, so he relied on his swordsmanship and physical combat. Being hailed as a top assassin, his strength naturally couldn't be underestimated.
The Tsunayashiro Head was clearly startled by the opponent's speed, but as one of the Five Great Noble Clans, he naturally possessed strength.
He barely managed to block the strike with all his might.
"Clang!!!"
With a loud crash, the Tsunayashiro Head was pushed back several steps before he could steady himself.
"As expected of a Captain-level individual, you do have some skill." The Tsunayashiro Head's face showed a sneer, "But it's useless. I've already replicated the strongest Zanpakuto ability."
"Spatial Severance!!!" The Tsunayashiro Head laughed loudly as he swung his sword.
The space around the blade began to shatter. Just as the Tsunayashiro Head was feeling triumphant, he suddenly realized that his spiritual pressure was being frantically devoured by the Enrakyōten in his hand, like water gushing from a dam.
His spiritual pressure was completely drained before he even managed to swing the sword.
The Tsunayashiro Head fell to his knees with a thud, his face hitting the hard ground with a "splat."
"What's going on? Does this ability consume so much spiritual pressure? I only made one swing, no, I didn't even swing it… Does Yamabuki usually fight with this kind of Zanpakuto? How terrifying is his spiritual pressure?" The Tsunayashiro Head lay limp on the ground, and everyone looked at him with very strange expressions.
"He's not trying to feign injury for compensation, is he?"
Furuoki Ōtogawa was also bewildered, and quickly raised his hand: "Don't look at me, I didn't do this, it has nothing to do with me, don't make me pay."
Yamabuki sighed and came to the Tsunayashiro Head's side, using Kaido to help him recover his spiritual pressure.
"My Silver Radiance Angel is a very volatile Zanpakuto. You can't control it," Yamabuki said with a helpless tone.
Before long, the Tsunayashiro Head's spiritual pressure had recovered by seventy to eighty percent, at least enough for him to stand up and move around.
"Who else wants to challenge for a Captain position? Our Gotei 13 is very democratic, don't say I didn't give you a chance," Yamabuki said to the squad members below the stage.
"I… I refuse to accept!" The Tsunayashiro Head stood up with a look of kidney deficiency.
"You… you haven't recovered yet, it's better to rest obediently," Yamabuki looked at this ambitious man with a hint of reluctance.
"No, that was my mistake just now. Now I must challenge my limits," the Tsunayashiro Head remained unrepentant: "This time I want to challenge Ōban Danjirō. He doesn't seem to have any military achievements, does he? Why can he serve as a Captain of the Gotei 13? I refuse to accept it, I want to challenge him!"
Yamabuki looked at the willful Tsunayashiro Head, then at the Captain Commander, wondering what the Captain Commander's attitude was.
As a result, Yamabuki discovered… the Captain Commander was actually leaning on his sword sheath, standing and sleeping.
"Captain Commander? Captain Commander? Wake up?" Yamabuki whispered.
As a result, the Captain Commander opened his left eye a slit, glanced at Yamabuki, and then continued to pretend to snore.
This Old Man is pretending to sleep and pushing such a troublesome matter onto me! His conscience is utterly rotten!
"Ōban Danjirō, do you accept the challenge!" Yamabuki could only turn to ask Ōban Danjirō's opinion.
Ōban Danjirō, looking like a good-natured person, smiled and said, "I have no problem. Is this also a test to become a Captain?"
Hearing Ōban Danjirō's words, the Tsunayashiro Head's face showed a malicious grin. "Country bumpkin, you will pay for your arrogance. You have no idea how terrifying the foundations of us great nobles are."
"Chief of Staff, the parties involved have agreed, I don't think you have any reason to stop us!" The Tsunayashiro Head laughed loudly, "Come on, I will seize your Captain's throne."
Ever since the Gotei 13 and Central 46 negotiated, the Tsunayashiro Head knew that this world had changed. Power no longer represented everything; strength was the key to changing this world.
Since I can't use Silver Radiance Angel, then I can only use the Captain Commander's Ryujin Jakka!
Instantly, scorching flames erupted from his body.
The Captain Commander closed the eye that had been open a slit.
"To think my Ryujin Jakka has been used to such a pathetic extent by you, I can't even bear to watch."
