Upon receiving accurate news of the Quincy invasion, the Captains of the Gotei 13 were not panicked or afraid. Instead, they were all brimming with fighting spirit, eager for the Quincy to arrive immediately.
After all, these people were all battle maniacs.
Their greatest hobby was smashing the enemy's head.
If they could fight to their heart's content, what did death matter?
Of course, compared to these fearless lunatics, Yamabuki still wanted to live well.
The most important thing now was to complete Bankai before the great war arrived.
Back home, Yamabuki went directly to the underground training ground and began to figure out how to learn Bankai in the shortest possible time.
Historically, the fastest to learn Bankai was definitely Kurosaki Ichigo, who only took three days.
But his Sword Spirit was a tsundere!
He had used countless methods just to get her name out of her. Now he wanted to learn Bankai…
Just thinking about facing that tsundere Sword Spirit made Yamabuki feel a headache.
But now, he had no choice.
To learn Bankai, one necessary condition was to have a deep enough communication with the Sword Spirit, like Kurosaki Ichigo and Zangetsu. Could he do it?
Yamabuki sat cross-legged on the ground, placing his Zanpakutō on his lap, and began to meditate.
Shinigami had a special method for communicating with their Zanpakutō, called Sword Zen.
However, Yamabuki's communication with his Zanpakutō was much simpler than that. As expected, as soon as he meditated, Yamabuki was pulled into his inner world.
It was still this familiar feeling, still that familiar scent!
Looking up, his tsundere Sword Spirit was sitting on a giant Rubik's Cube, smiling at him, except this time her stockings had changed from white to black.
"Oh oh oh oh! Not bad, not bad!" Yamabuki immediately gave a thumbs up.
In this world, only black and white stockings were enough; everything else was heresy! Heresy!
"Long time no see! I miss you very much! Come, give me a hug!" Yamabuki shamelessly opened his arms and hugged his Sword Spirit.
The Sword Spirit gave a proud snort: "I won't let you hug me! Tell me, why are you looking for me? Do you want to learn Bankai? Sorry, I won't teach you."
"Don't be like that! It's going to happen sooner or later anyway, so early or late, it's all the same." Yamabuki lightly jumped onto the giant Rubik's Cube and sat next to his Sword Spirit, reaching out to hug her arm and shaking it repeatedly.
"Absolutely~ not~! No matter what you say, I won't give you Bankai! Hmph! No discussion!" The Sword Spirit crossed her arms, opening one eye and closing the other, peeking at Yamabuki from the corner of her eye.
"Is my spiritual pressure not strong enough? Or is there another reason?" Yamabuki asked cautiously.
"Anyway, I will never teach you Bankai, so just give up," the Sword Spirit was unyielding.
"Didn't you use Bankai when you fought me before? If it's really not possible, just use it again! Let me observe it, that's fine too!" Yamabuki said.
"Hmph! No." The Sword Spirit was like she had swallowed a large weight, determined. No matter how Yamabuki cajoled, she refused to teach him Bankai.
To learn Bankai, one not only needs powerful spiritual pressure but also a deep understanding of one's Zanpakutō.
"Do you want to fight? How about we have a good fight?" Yamabuki asked tentatively.
"No! I just don't want to teach you Bankai!"
"Sister, then give me a reason! In half a year, the Quincy will invade, and the world will be plunged into misery! To survive, I've been forced to become the Soul King's replacement. We're in this together. If I die, you won't be well either! Can't you think about yourself?" Yamabuki questioned.
The Sword Spirit's eyes began to wander: "Forget Bankai, you haven't even fully mastered Shikai. When you master all of Shikai's power, then come find me! I don't want to see you right now, get out!"
Yamabuki was even more confused!
Why was the Sword Spirit so resistant to teaching him Bankai? Was there some unspeakable secret in this?
Or, did he really need to "deeply understand" his Sword Spirit?
Was the young lady shy? Couldn't she save face?
It wasn't impossible.
Then he would have to reluctantly, self-attack, left and right…
Before his daydreaming ended, the Sword Spirit, her face flushed, kicked him in the face.
He forgot, in the inner world, the Sword Spirit knew what he was thinking.
"Pervert! Filthy! Sex maniac!" The Sword Spirit screamed with a red face, constantly rubbing Yamabuki's face with her foot.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry! I was just thinking, wasn't I? And looking at your reaction, my idea must be wrong. So why do you want to stop me from learning Bankai? Logically, you should be happy if my power increases, right? After all, we're in this together!" Yamabuki grew even more curious.
"Hmph! Come find me when you have mastered all of Shikai's abilities." The Sword Spirit directly pushed him out of the inner world.
When Yamabuki woke up this time, Unohana was looking at him with a curious expression.
"You look very pale. Did something happen?" Unohana asked.
"Communication with the Sword Spirit wasn't very smooth; she was very resistant! Oh, right, you also know Bankai. How did you learn Bankai back then? Can you give me some pointers?" Yamabuki could only helplessly ask Unohana for help.
Unohana said with a smile: "Of course, I fought my Sword Spirit! Once I defeated it, it gave me Bankai!"
Indeed, fighting one's Sword Spirit was an essential step, but why was his Sword Spirit so resistant to Bankai?
Moreover, the Sword Spirit said that he hadn't fully mastered Shikai yet. Silver Radiance Angel gave him three abilities: Spatial Severance, Space Removal, and Shunpo.
Could it be that besides these three abilities, there were other bonuses?
"Never mind, practice makes perfect! Unohana, let's have a good fight!" Yamabuki also gradually discovered the benefits of fighting. No matter what worries he had, he would put them aside and fight first.
Unohana was overjoyed. She had been waiting for him for a long time, and that was exactly what she was waiting for.
Yamabuki pulled out his Zanpakutō and instantly unleashed his spiritual pressure!
Unohana's pupils instantly contracted. What strong spiritual pressure!
Yamabuki had swallowed a piece of the Soul King's flesh in the Soul King Palace, and his spiritual pressure had greatly increased. Even in his normal Shinigami state, his spiritual pressure was no longer inferior to Unohana's.
But this made Unohana even happier.
"Then I won't be polite! Bankai! Minazuki!"
"Reverse, Silver Radiance Angel."
The two spent a sleepless night in the basement, engaging in an earth-shattering exchange. Their rampant spiritual pressure kept the surrounding neighbors awake all night.
These young people nowadays, sigh!
