Chapter 129: You Couldn’t Even Make Me Go All Out

Chapter 129: You Couldn’t Even Make Me Go All OutZaraki Kenpachi’s first strike came down with the force of a mountain-splitting quake. His jagged blade, cloaked in roaring spiritual pressure, slammed against Shin’s shoulder. The wooden flooring cracked outward in a spiderweb, and the dojo’s ceiling trembled beneath the impact, a rain of dust drifting from the beams above.

And yet—the jagged edge bit into Shin’s skin and went no further. It didn’t break through. It didn’t even scratch.

"Is that all you’ve got, Captain Zaraki?"

The voice was calm. Dispassionate.

Zaraki’s already-narrow pupils contracted.

Shin still stood there, his shihakushō open, exposing a perfectly unscathed torso. Not a drop of blood. Not a single cut where the blade had struck.

Dust trickled down again from the rafters. Shin casually caught a few flecks in his palm, brushing off his sleeves without care.

Without a word from him, Zaraki roared, raised his blade again, and brought it down even harder.

This time he didn’t hold back.

The moment his blade descended, the spiritual pressure surrounding him compressed the air into silence. So thick and violent it distorted the space around him, choking Ikkaku and Yumichika near the edge of the dojo, leaving them wide-eyed and breathless.

But just before the blade struck—

Clack.

Shin raised one hand and caught it. Barehanded.

The backlash of Zaraki’s reiryoku slammed outward in a delayed explosion. The dojo’s floorboards shattered. The air howled. The structure groaned like it would collapse.

He’d caught Kenpachi’s full-force strike... with one hand.

Ikkaku and Yumichika were frozen, awe and dread fighting in their eyes.

"I’ve heard," Shin said softly, one hand still gripping Zaraki’s blade, "that your eyepatch was made by the Department of Re

Or maybe...

Maybe his blade had gone dull.

Zaraki’s entire body ached. Blood loss made the world spin. But the pain kept his mind sharp.

Kept the thrill alive.

"...Then kill me."

His voice was strangely calm.

From the side of the dojo, Ikkaku and Yumichika tensed. The words chilled the blood in their veins.
