".
I said, "Give me a knife!"
""
The system was practically cursing.
You're really putting people in a difficult position.
However, considering that Aizen didn't completely trust me to begin with, if I couldn't do what he wanted this time, I'd probably be disliked even more in the future.
"Damn it, I'll just give you two knives."
"Remember this, you owe me a huge favor this time!"
"Furthermore, the next three hidden quests will not offer any rewards!"
Instantly, Aizen felt two swords appear inside his body, and even his spiritual pressure surged dramatically. However, due to the intense battle, he didn't have time to fully grasp the details of the two swords before directly drawing one of them.
A katana with a white scabbard appeared at his waist, and Aizen swiftly gripped the hilt with his left hand and drew it.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The ferocious attack of the dual-wielding style instantly leveled the score again.
"What? A second Zanpakuto?"
Caught off guard, Unohana gradually got used to Aizen's dual-wielding attacks while keeping an eye on his second sword.
She sensed spiritual power emanating from the knife.
Zhao, without a doubt, that's a Zanpakuto! Aizen has a second Zanpakuto. "Is this the truth you've been hiding? Your Zanpakuto is the one paired with the Third Division of the Soul Society. No, that's not right, it's just..."
The long katana with its milky-white blade doesn't seem to be a pair of swords with Aizen's original one. Could his second Zanpakuto truly be a "second sword" in the real sense?
Curiosity and doubt filled her heart, but Unohana Retsu quickly put these things to the back of her mind.
"Curved Blade Slashing Technique!"
Her opponent's dual-wielding style, which was even more domineering, violent, and ferocious than the one-sword style, was starting to put pressure on her.
Originally, he thought he would defeat Unohana Retsu, who had learned a new style, just like before. But his eyes lit up with amazing excitement and joy, and even the dying hope in his heart began to burn again.
"Dual-Sword Style Eagle Wave!"
Chapter 82 Flaws, the Secret Technique of the Three-Sword Style! 2/8
"Dual-Sword Style Eagle Wave!"
Two swords slashed out one after the other, creating a sharp, intersecting slash of air pressure.
"Without using spiritual energy to create air pressure, it's not even as powerful as a wave-slashing attack."
With a cold, unfeeling expression, Retsu Unohana, having shattered Aizen's attack with a single strike, commented, "Your dual-wielding style has become stronger, but the strength of your techniques has weakened."
Aizen's expression remained unchanged.
Compared to the elaborate and varied One-Sword Style, many of the techniques in the Two-Sword Style are simply the signature sword techniques that Zoro created in his youth.
.
While these techniques were far more powerful in his hands than those used by pirates, they were still quite immature compared to Unohana Retsu, whose swordsmanship was even superior to his own.
Simply put, the difference between Zoro's one-sword style and two-sword style is that the two-sword style is more in line with Zoro's fierce style, using a storm of attacks to overwhelm the opponent.
However, relatively speaking, because the One-Sword Style cannot be as ferocious as the Three-Sword Style or the Two-Sword Style, Zoro can only pursue the speed or power of his sword strikes in the One-Sword Style.
Therefore, while the One-Sword Style has various types of moves, it is not as ferocious as the Two-Sword Style.
Therefore, compared to the one-sword style, it's better to launch a direct and fierce attack rather than using this relatively primitive long-range technique of the two-sword style.
As someone directly involved, Aizen was naturally well aware of this.
"This move is just a way of saying hello."
"Seventy-two Troubles Phoenix!"
boom.
Having just shattered the Eagle Wave, Retsu Unohana is now facing the "Thirty-Six Troubles Phoenix" once again.
Double version.
"This move"
After a moment of stunned silence, Unohana Retsu's blade was forced back a distance by the sword energy before shattering it, and she immediately frowned slightly.
It's not that this move is particularly troublesome, but rather that she can't learn it.
Once known as the "Eight Thousand Streams"
How could she not have encountered opponents who wielded dual swords? However, she was still able to learn and assimilate the unique techniques of dual swords based on their characteristics, and even achieve a stronger effect than dual swords using a single-sword style.
But this move was originally a one-sword style technique! It's just been doubled.
It's simple and straightforward, but it's impossible to learn.
It's not that she can't learn it; Fan Feng has already learned it.
However, this is already a one-sword style version, not a two-sword style version, so even if she learns this move, she cannot surpass the power of the two-sword style.
Rather than calling this a dual-wielding technique, it's more accurate to say it's a one-sword style move multiplied by two.
For the first time in her life, she felt a strange sensation.
That means the moves she learned and adapted are weaker than the original, at least weaker than the dual-wielding version.
Although given her sensitivity to swordsmanship, she could certainly improve her One-Sword Style technique if given time, but any improvement would be a completely new move.
In the brief moment she was pushed back, Aizen had already closed in.
"Second Slash!"
"Two cuts and you ascend the tower!"
"The second-ranking official should ascend the tower!"
"Double Slash!"
"Slay the Demon Bear!"
"Two-slice sand pattern!"
A barrage of dual-wielding attacks relentlessly rained down on Unohana.
The situation changed, and Aizen briefly gained the upper hand.
Each of these moves individually wasn't particularly strong, but when combined with the whirlwind-like attacks of the dual-wielding style, they managed to overwhelm Zoro's swordsmanship.
The style was brought out to its fullest extent.
Aizen, transformed into a berserker, possessed an astonishing aura, at one point causing Unohana to suffer repeated defeats.
These dual-wielding techniques are systematic and powerful attacks. Even if they are stronger than dual-wielding when converted to single-wielding, they cannot form such smooth combos, so these techniques immediately become worthless.
Fortunately, Retsu Unohana was no novice either. After a brief period of adjustment, she quickly threw herself into the battle.
The murderous aura and bloodlust emanating from him grew stronger, and the somewhat joyful smile on his face became more and more obvious.
Tear! Splat! Gradually, wounds appeared on both of their bodies.
The captain's haori began to become tattered, with specks of blood falling as the sword was swung.
"Excellent, truly delightful swordsmanship."
. "
"It's this kind of swordsmanship that's so addictive."
"A showdown!"
Hearing the ambiguous words from the other party, Aizen remained unmoved, but was actually quite dissatisfied with his own situation.
You can't win! Although this combo system is of no value to Unohana Retsu's swordsmanship growth and there is absolutely no possibility of learning or surpassing it, its simplicity and brutality prevented it from inflicting injury or gaining an advantage in the first wave. For a swordsmanship master like Unohana Retsu, it is something that can be gradually adapted to.
However, this also made Aizen more interested in Retsu Unohana.
Although this woman's actual strength was inferior to his, the fact that she could clearly surpass him in one aspect was enough for him to take notice.
Speaking of why Aizen valued Urahara Kisuke, in terms of strength, Urahara Kisuke was inferior to him; in terms of strategy, although Urahara was outstanding, he was still suppressed by him. However, there was one aspect in which Urahara Kisuke was no weaker than him: research ability.
Both Mayuri Kurotsuchi and Szayelaporro were exceptionally talented scientists, with Mayuri even surpassing Kisuke Urahara in this regard later on. However, this was of no use to Aizen.
Create a single 1-piece Hōgyoku to represent everything.
A person's ability is not measured by how many skills they possess, but by the quality of their masterpiece.
This is also why, in the original work, Aizen either valued or was wary of these three individuals in the entire world.
Urahara's research ability is no less than his, Yamamoto's strength is no less than his, and Kurosaki Ichigo's potential is no less than his! Now the battle has fallen into a stalemate again. Once Unohana Retsu has fully gotten used to it, the two will return to a stalemate where each has the upper hand.
Although the gap between the two will narrow again this time, and it is estimated that it will end with one of them being exhausted, Aizen is not satisfied with such an outcome.
If things really develop that way, he will definitely have stronger endurance, and his eventual victory would be unfair.
Moreover, while such a battle allows Retsu Unohana to have a good fight and enjoy the thrill of combat, it is not enough to awaken her inner pursuit of swordsmanship.
At this moment, through the battle, Aizen had completely confirmed the remaining ten percent: to prove his guess.
Close combat under equal conditions.
The fact that Unohana Yachiru, who claimed to have mastered all swordsmanship, could only defeat a wild boy who knew nothing about swordsmanship, undoubtedly made her question her own swordsmanship, and shattered her heart's persistence and pursuit of the way of the sword.
Retsu Unohana claims to enjoy fighting, but to be more precise, she enjoys the thrill of defeating opponents using swordsmanship.
Kenpachi Zaraki, who was not skilled in swordsmanship, admired and idolized Retsu Unohana's fighting style. As a result, his immersion in and enjoyment of fighting led Aizen and many others to mistakenly believe that Retsu Unohana also enjoyed fighting.
This conclusion can be drawn from Unohana Retsu's performances against Kenpachi Zaraki and Aizen.
During the Thousand-Year Blood War, Retsu Unohana showed no joy in training Kenpachi Zaraki, and after Kenpachi Zaraki fully recovered his strength, he had no desire to enjoy fighting in the final moments of his life.
But now, her blood-stained, seemingly terrifying smile is so real and pure.
With that thought in mind, Aizen tossed the Kyoka Suigetsu into the air and, rather inelegantly, bit it with his mouth.
At the same time, a completely black katana reappeared at his waist.
The style and appearance were exactly the same as the previous knife, the only difference being that it was covered in a deep black color.
With a black sword in his right hand, a white blade in his left, and the Mirror Flower Water Moon in his mouth, Aizen unleashed an astonishing sword intent.
"I have to admit, as the first Kenpachi, your swordsmanship is even better than mine."
However, these battles have finally allowed me to discover the flaws in your swordsmanship.”
"You lack the decisive blow that will decide the outcome!"
"The Ultimate Technique of the Three-Sword Style: Azure Dragon's Roar Flowing Water!"
Chapter 83 Those are all illusions 3/8
"A third sword! There's also the Three-Sword Style!"
Seeing the third sword appear in Aizen's hand, Retsu Unohana was utterly shocked.
If you ignore the Mirror Flower Water Moon sword he's holding in his mouth, the black and white swords on either side look like a pair of Zanpakuto.
So, did Aizen actually possess a pair of Zanpakuto plus one Zanpakuto, or was it simply due to his Three-Sword Style swordsmanship?
This resulted in him possessing a bizarre set of three Zanpakuto, since the shape of the one he held in his mouth was different from the one he held in his hands.
However, time waits for no one: once she figured this out, she saw Aizen strike a peculiar pose.
"I have to admit, as the first Kenpachi, your swordsmanship is even better than mine."
However, these battles have finally allowed me to discover the flaws in your swordsmanship.”
At this moment, Retsu Unohana didn't even care that Aizen knew the truth about the First Kenpachi; she was just looking at him with suspicion and uncertainty.
Despite being unable to learn and master Aizen's dual-wielding swordsmanship during the battle.
However, she also knew that her swordsmanship was superior to Aizen's, but the other party claimed to have discovered the flaw in her Yachiru swordsmanship.
"You lack that decisive, game-winning blow!"
Click! Retsu Unohana's mind jolted, and all the self-doubt that had existed within her was instantly shattered in that moment.
Her Eight Thousand Streams Sword Technique.
It is a skill that she has mastered and internalized after learning almost all the sword techniques of Soul Society. This swordsmanship allows her to find the most suitable way to deal with any opponent, but it also lacks her own unique and fatal strike.
