"Hahaha!"
Hearing Ichigo's words, Komamura laughed heartily:
"Lieutenant Kurosaki is truly a romantic young man!"
"However, my 7th Division, because of me, consists entirely of tough, manly men. No females."
"So I apologize, I can't help you arrange tea meetings."
"It's fine!" Ichigo shook his head unconcernedly. "I actually think if you, big dog, were willing to not cover your face, your popularity with ladies should be pretty good."
"Then, you could introduce some to me then too!"
Ichigo thought of the girl who fought Komamura in the Thousand-Year Blood War.
Although a bit brutal, she had a certain military princess feel, so when properly trained, she should be quite nice.
However, listening to Ichigo's words, Komamura didn't think as much as he did.
"If I don't wear the helmet, my female popularity is actually good… Really?"
Komamura was somewhat puzzled. "Originally, everyone avoided me because of my appearance."
"It's fine, it's fine!" Ichigo patted the big dog's shoulder. "It's a new era now. Girls like fluffy things."
"Just think about your Goro. Every time you take Goro out for a walk, don't many female Shinigami come up wanting to pet him?"
"Just think of yourself as Goro!"
Ichigo's words made Komamura's eyes widen.
"Is that really how it is?" Komamura found it hard to believe.
"Of course!" Ichigo nodded. "If you don't believe me, we can bet. As long as Captain Komamura's attitude becomes a bit more approachable, you'll definitely make it onto the Seireitei's Male Shinigami Popularity Rankings!"
Komamura didn't really understand modern women, but he was greatly shocked.
A sense of changing times washed over him.
Looking at Komamura like this, Ichigo chuckled inwardly.
Komamura had it good, as the times had adapted to him.
Ichigo and Komamura chatted casually as if no one else was present.
But seeing the two so relaxed, not taking him seriously, Yammy, having repaired his bodily damage, was now furious beyond measure!
"Damn it, Kurosaki Ichigo! You dare look down on me like this! I will definitely make you pay!"
Looking at his pair of newly regenerated arms, Yammy's expression turned vicious!
'Anyway, the final result would be them getting broken. Since that's the case, why not make these useless things useful!'
Thinking this, stuffing his own arms into his mouth, Yammy began chewing vigorously!
A pitch-black Cero also began charging continuously during Yammy's chewing process!
One step beyond Gran Rey Cero!
This time, Yammy directly offered his own arms as sacrifice to unleash an even more powerful Gran Rey Cero!
Powerful Reiatsu Fluctuations spread out, directly sensed by Ichigo.
However, looking at Yammy, Ichigo felt somewhat disappointed.
"What's this, Reiatsu not increasing anymore? I thought it would continue!"
The reason he deliberately hadn't killed Yammy was to let him increase his own Reiatsu, squeezing out Yammy's limits before killing him, to maximize the gain.
However, unfortunately, Yammy's limits had already been fully forced out during the battle with Komamura!
"Since that's the case, then let me send you off!"
Ichigo took a step forward! Space beneath his feet docilely contracted the distance to Yammy like a lamb.
Thus, through the ability of Shunpo, instantly appearing before Yammy's face, Ichigo swung his blade with the rebound force of space!
Simultaneously, Reiatsu surpassing Captain-class, even giving a sense of the Captain-Commander, erupted and then was poured into Tensa Zangetsu!
Not far away, Unohana, still on her way, stopped.
Sensing such Reiatsu, looking at Ichigo, Unohana Retsu murmured in shock: "This is... 1st-Class Reio? So fast!"
"It's clearly was only middle-to-lower 2nd-Class before!"
"This child's potential, perhaps he truly can..."
Unohana silently watched Ichigo in the distance.
If he continues improving like this, she felt Ichigo might really help her fulfill that long-cherished wish!
Recalling the wish that directly made her transform from Captain of the 11th Division to Captain of the 4th Division, Unohana fell into reverie.
But at this moment, Ichigo had already begun Yammy's final execution.
In the original work, Ulquiorra said that Ichigo's Getsuga Tensho after Bankai was less a Zanpakuto skill and more like a Cero.
Ichigo thinks he was right.
Having successively killed the Novena and Quinta Espada, as well as Tosen, Ichigo's current understanding of Zanjutsu, Hakuda, Hoho, Kido, and various Hollow skills had greatly increased.
So Ichigo knew that Getsuga Tensho indeed resembled Cero.
However, Getsuga Tensho ultimately wasn't Cero.
It was just because of its similar nature to Cero that Ichigo gained more insight.
Therefore, after the Getsuga Tensho - First Flash derived from Unohana's swordsmanship teaching, a second enhanced release method for Getsuga Tensho, which could be called Second Flash, was also developed by Ichigo. (T/N: The Raw was changed from just Flash to First Flash.)
Pushing all his Reiatsu into Tensa Zangetsu, listening to the somewhat painful creaking, trembling sounds coming from Tensa Zangetsu's sturdy blade, Ichigo gently stroked the sword's body.
"Bear with it a bit more, bear with it. The first time is painful, but it'll be fine after."
Under Ichigo's reassurance, Tensa Zangetsu's trembling gradually ceased.
Subsequently, confirming Tensa Zangetsu could still withstand it, Ichigo raised the sword with one hand, facing Yammy!
At this moment, on Tensa Zangetsu's pitch-black blade, powerful force was highly concentrated, reaching an extreme and instead revealing a jade-white hue!
Simultaneously, Yammy had also devoured his own arms, turning them into nourishment for the next attack, and looked at Ichigo!
From his gaping maw, a Cero darker than the shadows of Hueco Mundo's forest was highly compressed!
Even with his mouth wide open concentrating the Cero, Yammy's voice miraculously still emanated from within:
"Kurosaki Ichigo, they say hardship makes one grow. I think that saying is right."
"Just now, in the process of forcefully devouring my own arms to strengthen this attack, I realized why I, the Cero Espada, still cannot deal with you."
"I became the Cero Espada through Reiatsu, but I forgot..."
