Chapter 35: Coming to an End! The Final Decisive Battle Against Yammy!
"Now then…" Byakuya said.
"Shall we get on with it?" Kenpachi said, ready to fight. Kenpachi ready his sword as the flying blades circle around Byakuya. Yammy got back to his feet once more, catching the captains' attention.
Yammy started to laugh as he said, "That hurt. You two are starting to piss me off." Then red aura surrounds Yammy as his body started to change.
"Unforgivable!" Yammy shouted. "Unforgivable! Unforgivable!" Byakuya and Kenpachi widen their eyes as they flash stepped away from the espada. Smoke covered Yammy and entire area as tower of spirit energy erupted from where Yammy was standing.
Byakuya and Kenpachi reappeared on the spot they were before and noticed a huge shadow hovering over them. They looked up and saw that Yammy's appearance has changed. He is even bigger than he was before. His mask was restored and his previous were healed. He has two massive horns coming out of his back and multiple horns on his head and lower jaw. The bottom half of his became more hairy like an ape and his tail lost its club.
"Very good, you two." Yammy said. "By all means, keep annoying me. The name of my resurrecion is Ira. I'm a beast of rage. Anger fuels me and becomes my strength. Come on, keep at it. Make me angrier. It would only make your deaths that much more pathetic."
"So that's your true form, huh?" a voice said, getting the giant espada's attention. Byakuya and Kenpachi looked behind and saw Zoro and Sanji. "Sorry, but we're going to take your opponent."
"Not a chance!" Kenpachi said, narrowing his eyes at the two pirates. "Why should we turn this guy to a bunch of amateurs like you? Besides you guys got asses kicked by this guy once. What makes you think that it won't happen again?"
Zoro smirked and said, "You're right. Maybe this guy could kick our asses again. Or maybe you're scared that we could the ones to finish this guy off."
"What was that?!" Kenpachi said, getting angry now.
"You heard me." Zoro said, drawing his swords and pointing one at Kenpachi. "Unless you want to prove me wrong, I suggest you step aside." Kenpachi glared at Zoro and Zoro returned the same glare.
"Do what you will." Byakuya said as his bankai returned to its sword form. "However if the espada proves to be too much for you, I'll step in." He sheathed his sword and walked away.
Kenpachi sighed and said as he walks away, "Whatever but if that big oaf doesn't kill you then I will."
"I would like to see you try it." Zoro said with a smirk.
"Are you done having your little team meeting?" Yammy said, getting the pirates' attention. "It doesn't matter which one of you fools battle me. Rather it would be one of you, two, or all four, the results will be the same. All you're doing now is prolonging your deaths."
"Ok, got any bright ideas on how we're going to beat this guy?" Sanji asked, blowing out a puff a smoke.
"Well we don't have time to drag this battle any farther." Zoro said as he put one of his swords in his mouth. "We have to attack with our strongest moves and defeat him quickly. Do you think you can manage that?"
Sanji smirked and said, "That's funny, I was going to ask you the same question."
"Shut up!"
"If you're done talking, I'll kill you little insects now!" Yammy said as he charged up a cero.
'This could be our only chance.' Zoro said as he took a stance and a black aura surrounds his body. 'We won't get another shot at this.' Yammy fired the cero at the two pirates. Zoro and Sanji stood where they are, making no adept to dodge it.
"Move out of the way before that cero hits you!" Rukia shouted at the two.
"Demon Spirit Nine Sword Style: Asura!" Zoro said as his body started to change. He now has three heads with a sword in each mouth and six arms with a sword in each hand.
"No way!" Rukia said in disbelief. "He multiplied!" Zoro looked at the cero and slashed it with his nine swords, turning into mist.
"What?!" Yammy shouted shocked. "He turned the cero into a mist?!"
Zoro jumped towards the espada and said, "You did well. Suffering is welcome on the path to bloodshed!" Zoro used all nine swords and cut Yammy down. "Asura: Silver Mist!" Zoro landed on the sand as his body returned to normal. Yammy coughed up blood as he slowly started to fall to the ground.
Sanji started spinning around in a circle, lighting his leg on fire. He stopped and charged towards the falling espada. He jumped high in the air at Yammy.
"Diable Jambe…" Sanji launched his foot at Yammy. "…Flambage Shot!" He kicked Yammy in the face with his flaming leg, sending the espada crashing to the ground. Sanji landed on the sand as his leg returned its original state. "Mala Suerte, my condolences."
Isane and Rukia looked at what just happened with widen eyes. "Unbelievable." Rukia said.
"See, I told you that they would win." Nami said with a smile.
In the World of the Living, the Soul Reapers with some help from the vizards were able to defeat the espadas. Right now, Captain Komamura is battling his former friend, Kaname Tosen.
"Shall we end this now?" Kaname asked, looking down at a fallen Captain Komamura. "What do you say?" Then two balls of green cero started to form in front Kaname's eyes. "Justice isn't something you can see with your eyes. Justice is something that mere words can't completely describe."
Komamura started to close his eyes. "Forgive me, Kaname." He said to himself. "I cannot kill you. I know you too well." Then his eyes widen when he saw sword stabbing Kaname in the back. Kaname slowly looked behind saw his former lieutenant, Shuhei Hisagi.
"That's enough." Shuhei said. "You're not really Captain Tosen anymore. Before this, when you couldn't see, you could've easily dodged my attack." Shuhei closed his eyes, sadden about what he was about to do. "Reap, Kazeshini!" Shuhei's blade began to transform and pierce through Kaname's throat, causing him to cough out blood.
Elsewhere, Shinji charged towards Aizen, ready to strike. Aizen slashed at him to see him disappear. Aizen continues to strike Shinji only to see him disappear again and again.
"What's wrong, Sosuke?" Shinji said, rushing toward Aizen. "You look confused. I got you!" Shinji's eyes widen as Aizen went passed him.
"So that's it?" Aizen questioned with a smirk. "Your whole strategy was nothing more than an occult illusion?" Then a slash appeared Shinji's back and blood started coming out. "Yours is just a pallor trick. A far cry from my ability to control all five senses." Shinji looked over his shoulder at Aizen. "It was child's play for me, Shinji Hirako."
Kaname slowly opened his eyes, and the first he saw was Komamura and Shuhei. "Sanjin…Shuhei…" Kaname muttered, knowing that he was just defeated.
"Don't speak." Komamura said, seeing the blood on Kaname's neck. "Your hollow powers are allowing you to breathe but your throat has been torn open. You don't to talk right now. It's better that you save your strength." Kaname, using with the little bits of strength he had left, put his hand on his neck and felt the blood coming from it.
"Our relationship has been all too superficial until now." Komamura continued. "Even as friends, it was our fate to fight each other. By fighting, we come into a greater understanding between us. I can't ask you not to hate me. I know you'll probably hold a grudge after what has happened. Just don't allow your hunger for revenge change who you truly are." Tear formed in Kaname's eyes as he looked at Komamura. "I feel just as you must have you felt when you lost your friend. If we were to lose you, it would leave a hole in my heart.
"I…thank you…Sanjin." Kaname said. Then his eyes widen as he exploded into a mass of blood. Shuhei and Komamura couldn't believe what they saw.
"Captain…CAPTAIN!" Shuhei shouted.
Komamura looked up at the sky and saw Aizen looking at him with a smirk. "AIZEN!" Komamura shouted in pure rage. "I WON'T FORGIVE YOU, AIZEN!"
Then a crack appeared behind Aizen, causing all action of stop. The cracks got widen as two individuals appeared with their eyes set on Aizen. The two were Luffy and Ichigo.
