'Though we don't know if Neliel-sama can survive in this Seireitei full of Shinigami after sending her away, judging from that Shinigami's reaction earlier, they probably wouldn't harm Neliel-sama, right?'
'So, farewell! Neliel-sama!'
Pesche made up his mind. At a speed faster than Nnoitra's blade, Reiatsu within his body rapidly gathered in a specific way!
Simultaneously, as longtime best friends, Dondochakka standing beside Pesche immediately understood Pesche's intention.
Likewise, similar fluctuations began resonating within Dondochakka's body!
This was their self-destruction secret technique!
It is derived from a failed Cero technique they couldn't fully use after their power level dropped!
Of course, calling it self-destruction wasn't really about damage or causing none.
Because this self-destruction's main function was to create a powerful airflow to send a specific person away!
This was Pesche and Dondochakka's final ripple!
Ahead of Nnoitra's blades, the rapid self-destruction was about to complete!
And though currently a child, the foundation of the former Tres Espada remained. Neliel's hidden past self also sensed the change in the two!
Tears immediately welled up in Neliel's large, watery eyes, filled with sorrow.
"Don't!" Neliel cried out mournfully.
Simultaneously, her sorrowful gaze quickly transformed into gentleness and determination.
Because her family-like subordinates were about to die, Neliel underwent rapid changes due to stress!
The former Tres Espada, the Capricorn Knight, was about to reappear in the world!
She couldn't speak yet, only conveying her prevention of Pesche and Dondochakka's actions through her eyes.
However, in the blink of an eye, Pesche and Dondochakka couldn't explain their words either. They could only convey their emotions through their eyes.
Although Neliel had begun recovering, the two didn't believe she could complete it instantly. So they had to block Nnoitra's blades. The self-destruction continued!
That gratified gaze already told Neliel: as long as she could recover, even if it meant stimulating her with their lives, it was worth it!
And feeling the firmness of her family-like subordinates-
Neliel was shaken in her heart, but she still couldn't accept it!
'My recovery needed just an instant, only an instant!'
'Who? Who could still help me?'
'Kami-sama!'
Neliel prayed to the gods!
And the gods truly responded to her call!
"I'm not a god, you know! And people don't need gods! Rely on yourself!!" A somewhat unique voice sounded beside her ear. Ichigo suddenly appeared at the center of the three!
Grabbing the petite Neliel with one hand, Ichigo's entire body vibrated!
Like a King of Fighters character's power burst, Ichigo sent Pesche and Dondochakka flying!
The self-destruction process was also forcibly interrupted!
Then, wrapping Getsuga Tensho around his blade, Ichigo used the enlarged blade to deftly block Nnoitra's four scythes.
Looking at Nnoitra, Ichigo's eyes mocked: "The strong direct their anger at the stronger! The weak direct their anger at the weaker!"
"Nnoitra, it seems you're not as strong as you claim!"
"Trash who can only fight me with cheats, and still wants to kill people before me?"
"Ridiculous!" Ichigo coldly shouted!
With this shout, the Getsuga Tensho wrapped around Tensa Zangetsu exploded as Nnoitra tried to leverage his four-arm advantage, two arms suppressing, two arms attacking!
Using the force from Getsuga Tensho, Ichigo, holding Neliel, separated himself from Nnoitra!
Simultaneously, faint dust spread where Ichigo had just clashed!
Shrouded in the dust without emerging, Nnoitra's expression contorted!
He felt like a clown, especially after Ichigo's words!
Now, because of Ichigo's words, Nnoitra actually began to doubt himself!
His dream was to die in battle on the path to pursuing the pinnacle… Vasto Lorde, or become stronger!
Therefore, Nnoitra constantly fought strong opponents, wanting to become the strongest.
But now it seemed he, who always wanted to be strong, might not actually be strong?
"But, how is this possible..." In the smoke, Nnoitra grimly gripped his scythe, his heart falling into another mental storm.
However, outside the smoke was a different world.
"Cool!"
"Cool cool cool cool cool!"
"Good grief, Ichigo just stole the show with this move!"
"More than that, he also went all out with the arrogance!"
"'The strong direct their anger at the stronger! The weak direct their anger at the weaker!' This phrase is really has style. I'm gonna note it down as essay material!"
"To be honest, indeed!"
"Though I've marveled many times, I still have to marvel again: Why is this guy so cool? Did he train under the God of Coolness?"
Undoubtedly, Ichigo's wave of showing off gained widespread recognition.
And if we're talking about who received the greatest shock, it had to be Neliel in Ichigo's arms, who had already grown into a bombshell older sister form!
Because she was being held single-armed by Ichigo, Neliel also instinctively embraced Ichigo.
The Capricorn Knight's impressive assets pressed against Ichigo's chest, letting him experience the charm of front armor!
Simultaneously, the touch from his hand told Ichigo this was a super older sister with unique flavor, not losing to Yoruichi or Kukaku!
Subconsciously, Ichigo rubbed twice.
He then found that this touch wasn't an illusion… it was truly good, even through Neliel's coarse hemp clothes.
However, being held by Ichigo, Neliel, who hadn't reacted initially, feeling his habitual movements from holding Rukia, suddenly blushed deeply.
After all, Ichigo had tasted meat, while Neliel hadn't. Ichigo was the first man to touch her body.
The tall image in her heart, plus some subconscious techniques, made Neliel feel strange. She said softly:
"Um, Ichigo, can you put me down first?"
"Oh oh oh, of course!" Only then did Ichigo react.
One moment holding a loli, the next the loli transforms into an explosive-figured older sister in your arms… such an impact would make anyone pause for a moment, right?
"Um, sorry, I didn't notice your change!" Ichigo apologized.
"Hmm... it's fine!" Neliel lowered her head, hiding the blush on her cheeks.
