Looking at Ichigo's hand with its long, slender fingers and distinct knuckles, for some reason, Unohana's face suddenly flushed red.
Then, to Ichigo's surprise, Unohana parted her red lips slightly, revealing her pearly white teeth, and gently bit down!
Ichigo only felt a cool sensation on his wrist, followed by a gentle, licking feeling!
Despite losing blood, Ichigo didn't feel discomfort… instead, he felt an inexplicable pleasure.
Therefore, Ichigo's expression turned peculiar, feeling as if he had encountered a vampire princess rather than Unohana.
Seeing Ichigo's expression, Unohana's face reddened further. This was also why she had initially preferred Tosen's blood.
Replenishing blood like this was a first for her!
Simultaneously, glancing at Nel and the others brought by Ichigo from the corner of her eye, Unohana's gaze held a questioning look.
"Oh, Nel, it's like this..."
Ichigo explained Nel's origins and what he wanted Unohana to do.
Soon, the explanation was complete.
At the same time, Unohana released Ichigo's wrist, elegantly wiping her lips.
It seemed Unohana was her usual self.
Only, the flush on her face, whether from shyness or blood replenishment, lingered for a long time.
In fact, it was both.
Ichigo possessed the purest Soul King lineage.
Replacing her own blood with his, Unohana felt her body brimming with vigorous vitality.
Even her body, whose potential had been fully exhausted, felt as if it had returned to its youth, with limitless potential!
And Unohana certainly knew the reason for these changes.
Unohana murmured with some shock, "The Shiba Clan's Soul King lineage? Ichigo's bloodline is actually this concentrated!"
Unconsciously, a special kind of longing quietly took root in Unohana's heart.
However, she didn't notice it, or perhaps she did but simply allowed it to take root and sprout!
"You are called Nel, right? Come, let me examine your injury."
After tidying herself up, Unohana looked at Nel.
Nel timidly walked over. Her adorable loli face evoked immense affection.
Older people tend to like children, and Unohana was no exception.
Patting Nel's little head and carefully examining the crack in her mask, Unohana said softly:
"Little one, no need to be afraid of me. I'm here to make you feel better!"
"It's been broken for so long… it must have been very uncomfortable, right?"
"What a poor child!"
As she spoke, green light representing healing emanated from Unohana's hands as she began treating Nel.
Feeling Unohana's gentleness, Nel obediently allowed the treatment, the broken crack slowly mending!
For a time, the area fell quiet.
Having just lost some blood, Ichigo also sat down for a brief rest.
However, not long after, the seated Ichigo suddenly stood up!
Simultaneously, Unohana's serious gaze turned towards him. "Ichigo, you sensed it too?"
"Mm!" Ichigo nodded. "Captain Komamura's Reiatsu just erupted violently. He might be fighting desperately!"
"There's no time for slow treatment. Let's go, we need to get to Captain Komamura immediately!"
"Mm, okay!"
Carrying Nel, together with Unohana, everyone once again embarked on rapid travel.
At this moment, in the 7th Division, just as Unohana and Ichigo had sensed, Komamura had begun his final struggle!
"Bankai, Kokujo Tengen Myo'o - Dangai Joe!"
Under Yammy's astonished gaze, the previously heavily armored Kokujo Tengen Myo'o shed its armor all over, its faceplate also removed.
Subsequently, a brand-new Kokujo Tengen Myo'o appeared: sporting bull horns, eyes burning with blazing flames, long hair past the neck, a curved beard, bare upper body bound with black ropes, resembling a berserker!
"Oh, even discarding the armor. Going all out, huh?"
Looking at this form of Komamura's Bankai, Yammy said in surprise.
"That's right!" Komamura nodded. "The original Kokujo Tengen Myo'o, because any damage it suffers I also suffer, the Myo'o wears heavy armor to reduce the damage to me."
"It's just that your power is something I, burdened by heavy armor, cannot hope to match!"
"Therefore, to achieve victory, I must discard the armor!"
"Originally, this move should be paired with another technique. But now, it seems that doesn't matter anymore!"
"Perish, Yammy!"
Komamura roared!
Carrying his determination to fight to the death, Kokujo Tengen Myo'o swung its blade!
If Aizen's mistaken understanding of Ichigo's Mugetsu state was converting all Reiatsu into power...
Then Kokujo Tengen Myo'o - Dangai Joe was converting everything into Reiatsu and power.
Now, with a single swing, immense power coupled with immense Reiatsu was like a pillar of heaven breaking and collapsing!
Even before the blade descended, Yammy felt an overwhelming pressure!
Under the powerful force, Yammy was nearly immobile!
However, faced with this situation, Yammy instead laughed out loud!
"Hahaha, hahaha, not bad, not bad!"
"Forgot to tell you, in this form, my Reiatsu can also increase based on anger!"
"I was just worrying that my current strength wouldn't be enough even to seek out Kurosaki Ichigo. Now it seems, it's enough!"
Not dodging or evading, Yammy took Komamura's slash head-on!
A massive wound ran from Yammy's left shoulder all the way down to his lower limb, nearly cleaving him in two!
Only, this slash ultimately fell just a bit short!
"You know what? I'm the Cero Espada, even above the top three. So of course I can't be too lackluster!"
"Therefore, the enhancements Aizen-sama gave me weren't just an arm. There's also this!"
Yammy pointed at the huge wound on his body!
"Super High-Speed Regeneration!"
Under Komamura's shocked gaze, thick white smoke billowed from Yammy's wound.
But within this smoke, Yammy's wound visibly began to close, as if someone had added a zipper there and finally zipped it up!
"This, this is..." Komamura couldn't comprehend.
Using so much Reiatsu to heal such a large wound... both were giants. Komamura had no idea what Yammy was thinking.
But then, something even more astonishing happened. After healing the wound, Yammy's Reiatsu increased yet again!
