This question had been on Ichigo's mind ever since he finished reading the manga.
But now it seemed it would be better not to let such a question arise!
Ichigo prepared to make his move.
Before acting, he glanced behind him.
Because he had absorbed Tosen's various attributes, especially the speed that allowed him to dodge Unohana's sword strikes, he was the first to arrive.
Since he arrived first, there was no need to wait.
At this moment, the two giants in the field were face to face.
Because anger increased both Reiatsu and size, Yammy's current form had surpassed the size of Komamura Sajin's Bankai!
Komamura's Bankai could only reach Yammy's chest!
Clenching his fist, Yammy heavily smashed down at the little figure before him!
Simultaneously, Komamura also controlled his Bankai, thrusting the great blade towards Yammy's chest, aiming for the heart!
The two giants, quite remarkably, both chose not to defend!
Boom!
The Bankai's long sword stabbed at Yammy's heart!
Boom!
Yammy's fist smashed into the Bankai's shoulder!
Kaboom!
Terrifying force transmitted through the Bankai's body into the ground below.
Like being struck by a bunker buster, the earth beneath the two giants' feet developed dense spiderweb cracks, then shattered with a roar!
However, after exchanging a punch and a sword strike, the expressions of both Yammy and Komamura changed simultaneously!
Komamura was surprised that the hardness of Yammy's Hierro had increased yet again… his sword could only penetrate slightly, unable to break through the defense!
And Yammy was surprised that his punch landing on Komamura's Bankai didn't kill him!
At the same time, Komamura also noticed something.
'Huh? What's going on? Did he hold back?' Komamura wondered, turning his head to look.
Only then did he discover that before Yammy's fist stood a little figure clad in a black trench coat!
Ichigo, holding his blade with one hand, directly blocked Yammy's fist.
Just like that day intercepting Sokyoku Hill!
Subsequently...
"Getsuga Tensho!!"
Parrying Yammy's fist, Tensa Zangetsu swung down. A brilliant black crescent erupted, instantly crossing the distance of Yammy's long arm and striking Yammy's shoulder!
The tough Hierro and powerful physique, before an Ichigo who had slain three powerful enemies and whose strength had skyrocketed, were not much harder than butter!
Like a hot knife through butter, the sharp Getsuga Tensho easily sliced through Yammy's skin, separating muscle, nerves, blood vessels, and bone.
Finally, with a single slash, Ichigo severed Yammy's remaining arm.
This very moment was exactly like that moment!
By the time intense pain arrived, his arm was missing, and his field of vision had broadened,
Yammy finally noticed Ichigo standing before the Tengen Myo'o's shoulder!
"It's you, bastard! Kurosaki Ichigo! You dare show yourself before me again?"
Yammy roared in rage, his other arm transformed into a transparent tentacle lashing down heavily at Ichigo.
The sharp whip whistled through the air, emitting a heavy whooshing sound!
However, with Ichigo's strength, there was no way he would be hit by Yammy's whip!
Raising his long blade for the first time in a while, a crimson Cero began charging at the tip of Tensa Zangetsu!
A few short seconds later, just as Yammy's long whip was about to arrive!
Boom!
A powerful Cero left a long-lasting trail in the air.
Then, it accurately struck the transparent tentacle mid-swing!
The crimson Cero meeting the transparent tentacle was like hitting a snake's seven-inch vital spot. From that critical point, Yammy's tentacle arm instantly snapped!
The invisibility faded, revealing a squid-sucker-like arm before everyone!
Only, this squid tentacle was now severed, showing the cross-section inside.
But such a cross-section lasted only an instant.
From Yammy's arm, gushing blood poured out like floodgates opening!
"Ah, my arm!" Yammy wailed in agony.
With both arms broken, he instantly recalled the fear of being dominated by Ichigo!
Watching this scene, the live stream audience couldn't hold back their comments anymore.
"Cool, cool, cool, Ichigo is cool!"
"Strong, strong, strong, Ichigo is strong!"
"I want to have your babies!"
"I want to raise your children!"
"Enough, you above, tone it down!"
"I already told you, not at the barbershop!"
"But seriously, Ichigo is truly strong! How can there be someone this strong?"
"Look at these people in the live stream. Men want to duel, women are itching all over. I'm really at a loss."
"No sarcasm intended, I'm genuinely impressed!"
"Previous commenter, I get you!"
Regarding Ichigo's strength, the audience was shocked yet somewhat numb from getting used to it.
However, looking at Ichigo who had so easily severed his arm, Yammy couldn't take it anymore.
"Damn it, why? Why?"
"I've spent this period eating, sleeping, eating, sleeping, accumulating Reiatsu beyond measure!"
"Why, why can I still not reach you?!"
"I don't understand!" Yammy bellowed in grief and indignation.
Uninformed onlookers might think Ichigo had done something terrible to Yammy.
With those thick eyebrows, big eyes, missing arms and legs, Yammy actually looked somewhat aggrieved!
But Ichigo paid no mind to this.
As the saying goes, you're not a beautiful girl!
"Of course you don't understand, you're just a lazy bastard!!"
Saying something Yammy couldn't comprehend, Ichigo shrugged nonchalantly, disdainfully saying:
"What, you can grow, but I'm not allowed to grow?"
After speaking, Ichigo looked at Komamura beside him. "Captain Komamura, how are you?"
"I'm fine! Just somewhat exhausted. The injuries are actually secondary!" Komamura shook his head in reply.
Looking at Ichigo, he sighed with emotion. "I'm truly sorry, Kurosaki Ichigo, for letting you see such an unsightly state again!"
"It's fortunate you're one of us now, otherwise I wouldn't know where I should hide from the shame!"
"I really don't know how to thank you properly."
At least Ichigo's current identity was Lieutenant of the 13th Division, right?
If he were saved by a human, Komamura didn't know how awkward he would feel for how long, because that would mean he had failed in his duty to protect.
"It's nothing, just a small matter. We're all colleagues, and helping each other is only right!"
"If you really want to thank me, does the 7th Division have any pretty girls you could introduce for some tea or something?"
Ichigo said casually.
