Chapter 14 : A fierce match

Outside, Ichigo and White began to fight fiercely.

Learning Bankai is no different from hearing the true name of one’s Zanpakuto.

And being recognized by it is different for each Zanpakuto.

But the way most Shinigami acquire Bankai is by subjugating their Zanpakuto through some method.

What Ichigo is doing now can be said to be an upgraded version of that.

-What’s wrong, Ichigo?

Is that all you’ve got?!

-Kuh!

Who are you to?!”

-Yeah, that’s the spirit!

And Ichigo is having a hard time acquiring Bankai from the very beginning.

It’s only natural.

White is not a simple Zanpakuto, but a special entity in which the powers of Shinigami and Hollow are fused.

Therefore, he is a being that is different in many ways from a normal Zanpakuto.

Even if the level of power between Ichigo and White were the same, he could overwhelm Ichigo with just his combat sense.

This can be said to be a really fortunate case for us.

“You’re saying we have to make a Bankai in four days?!”

“There’s no time!”

“I know that!”

Thanks to this, we can buy time to make a fake Bankai.

The maximum time for this training is four days, but in other words, the maximum time is four days.

Depending on Ichigo’s actions, that time could be greatly reduced, and if he’s not careful, he might be able to do it in just one day.

But it’s a relief that White is holding on and somehow buying us time.

Fck this sht!

I should have thought of this before?!

I was too complacent about giving him a Bankai, and I forgot about Ichigo’s current situation.

Moreover, I have the knowledge of the original work, but since it’s been a while, I can’t remember the details.

“I’m not good at this kind of thing!”

My power is, after all, the Fullbring, a fragment of the Soul King.

A fragment of the Soul King, a part of the power of the Soul King who created this world, may seem great.

In fact, if you think of Orihime, Tsukishima, and other unique Fullbrings, it’s not very strange.

But that’s just an extremely rare exception.

I am, after all, Ichigo’s Fullbring power, and although that power is strong, I’m hopeless at this kind of creative ability.

Originally, this is something that White, who is Ichigo’s Zanpakuto, should be doing.

But the problem is that White, who needs to make the Bankai, is busy buying time outside.

Wait, this problem is because White is recognized as Zangetsu, not the fake Zangetsu?!

“How do you even make a fake Bankai in the first place?!

What do we do, hairball?!”

“I have an idea.”

“What idea?”

“I faced Shigekuni’s Bankai a thousand years ago, so I’ll try to make it based on that.”

“Oh boy!

I believed in you, you b*stard?!”

Wait a minute.

Are you going to copy him too, following White?

In the original work, there are many Bankai, but the compression of power exists only in the Captain-Commander and Ichigo.

And looking at the current conversation, it seems that even that might be because the fake Zangetsu copied it.

But now is not the time to worry about that.

-Hey!

The tattoo guy showed up, so training is temporarily suspended!

“Yes!”

It’s a temporary suspension, but in our current situation where even a minute is precious, even this temporary time-buying is appreciated.

Thank you, Renji!

You are our savior!

And that thought changed in an instant.

Why, you ask?

-This is f*cked up.

“Why all of a sudden?”

-They moved up the execution to tomorrow.

“What did you say?

Moved up to tomorrow?

Say that again, you b*stard.”

-It seems we have to make the Bankai by tomorrow.

Because Renji said that the execution had been moved up and that Rukia would be executed tomorrow.

“White, blast that b*stard’s mouth with a Cero and shut him up right now!”

“Calm down, Black.”

“Even though we didn’t have enough time, it’s been cut in half, is this for real?

Even a sweatshop wouldn’t do this!”

And then I remembered that there was such a thing in the original work.

I just remembered.

‘…I have a really good idea, hairball.’

“Ah, me too.”

“We abandon Rukia.

Then we’ll have time to make the Bankai, and there will be no reason for Ichigo to get involved in unnecessary fights.

What can’t be helped can’t be helped.

Right?”

“It’s also an adult’s role to tell him what can’t be done.”

“Right?”

-There’s no time, so stop running away from reality, you b*stards!

“….F*ck.”

As White said, there’s no time to run away from reality.

Tomorrow?

Make it by tomorrow?

Is this right, Ichigo?

Should we just give him the true Zangetsu?

Give him the true Zangetsu’s Bankai?

But no matter how I think about it, if he uses the true Zangetsu’s Bankai in his current state, the only future I see is Ichigo’s body exploding in one second.

I don’t have The Almighty, but that’s a certain future I can guarantee.

I stood up and said.

“Hairball, I’ll make the Shihakusho.

You somehow make the sword.”

“Can you do it?”

“I probably can.”

A power mixed with Bankai and Fullbring.

Also known as Fullbring Bankai.

If I think about that, I can probably put some effort into making the Bankai.

So we desperately moved to our respective roles.

The fact that we have Ichigo’s potential means that Ichigo has our potential.

Ichigo is absorbing all of White’s senses and techniques like a sponge as he fights him, so the difference is gradually being caught up.

But White also resisted Ichigo as much as possible in order to buy time somehow.

-Hey!

Hurry up!

Hurry up!

“It hasn’t even been a day yet, let alone tomorrow?!”

-That Ichigo b*stard, he’s so fired up that he’s absorbing all my techniques?!

At this rate, I can’t hold out until tomorrow, even if I die!

“Ah, just try to hold on somehow.

We’re almost done!”

-No way!

This is really bad!

Should I use Hollowfication?!

“Hey!

If you use that now, we’ll become public enemies of Soul Society?!”

-Then how am I supposed to hold on?!

“F-five hours, no, just buy us three hours.

We’re really almost done!”

We moved desperately, like cartoonists on a deadline.

I am making the Shihakusho.

The fake Zangetsu is making Tensa Zangetsu’s sword.

White is fighting Ichigo outside.

And finally.

“I somehow managed to buy us time.

We made it just in time.”

“I don’t want to do this again.”

“Good work, you pieces of trash.”

We barely finished making the Bankai just before Rukia’s execution.
