Chapter 548 - 548 Whirl, Giralda!

"Ugh!"

Dordoni, embedded in the wall, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and then coughed repeatedly.

"Hey, you, Dordoni or whatever, I remember you Arrancar can do Resurrección, right? Then use it. Otherwise, at your current level, you can't even scratch me."

Toshiro said indifferently.

"Cough, cough... Indeed, at this point, aside from Resurrección, other techniques probably won't work on you."

Dordoni said, coughing blood.

Bang!

Having said that, Dordoni forced himself off the wall back onto the ground despite his injuries.

"Then let me show you my true power! Hitsugaya Toshiro!!"

Dordoni said with utmost seriousness.

Then, Dordoni gripped his Zanpakuto tightly with his right hand and shouted, "Whirl, Giralda!!"

Whoosh—

The wind howled! A huge cyclone suddenly appeared in the originally enclosed structure, surrounding Dordoni. Within the cyclone, Dordoni's appearance changed dramatically. A pair of huge horns grew on his shoulders and legs respectively.

Moreover, spiral-shaped bone armor covered his legs, with two cylindrical bone protrusions at his ankles.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

The strong wind even blew Toshiro's Captain's Haori, making it flutter.

Whoosh—

Suddenly, a small cyclone separated from the huge cyclone surrounding Dordoni, shooting towards Toshiro like a spear.

Swish!

Toshiro twisted his body, narrowly avoiding Dordoni's small cyclone.

Boom!

The small cyclone, dodged by Toshiro, hit the wall, blasting a large hole in it. This showed the technique's power was extraordinary.

"Oh, this technique looks somewhat interesting."

Toshiro said calmly.

"Here I come! Hitsugaya Toshiro!!"

Dordoni said in a deep voice.

"Giralda!"

Dordoni suddenly shouted.

Scrape, scrape, scrape...

With Dordoni's shout, wind like purple smoke spewed from the cylindrical bone protrusions at his ankles, eventually forming two huge tornadoes that flanked his body. They then lifted Dordoni into the air, allowing him to look down on Toshiro.

Seeing this, Toshiro frowned. He didn't like people looking down on him, especially an Arrancar far weaker than himself.

Tap!

Toshiro lightly tapped the ground with his right foot, launching himself into the air, even higher than Dordoni's position. He stood in mid-air, looking down at his opponent.

"Captain really won't take a loss!"

Seeing this, Rangiku, watching from nearby, couldn't help but twitch her mouth, looking somewhat speechless.

Dordoni, facing Toshiro, didn't care about such things. He looked gravely at Toshiro, then bent his right leg, aiming the cylindrical bone protrusion at his ankle towards Toshiro.

"Haah!"

Dordoni suddenly shouted, swinging his right leg.

Whoosh—

The tornado on Dordoni's right side suddenly rushed towards Toshiro like a dragon.

Swish!

Toshiro flickered and dodged Dordoni's attack again.

Whoosh—

Just as Toshiro dodged, Dordoni swung his left leg, and the tornado on his left side shot over.

"Hmph! Are you going to keep this up forever?!"

Toshiro snorted coldly. Instead of dodging again, he casually extended his right hand.

Bang—!!

Dordoni's tornado, like a dragon carrying tremendous force, slammed into Toshiro's right hand with a dull thud.

But that was all. The huge tornado was blocked by Toshiro's single hand, unable to advance an inch.

"Haah!"

Toshiro shouted softly, suddenly clenching his right hand.

Boom—!!

The huge tornado was directly crushed by Toshiro's single hand.

"What!"

Dordoni was shocked.

Although he had long heard legends of how powerful Toshiro was, Dordoni still hadn't imagined that Toshiro could crush his strongest attack with just one hand.

"Go! Giralda!!"

Unwilling to give up, Dordoni shouted again. The cylindrical bone protrusions at his ankles again spewed purple smoke, forming a huge tornado. Together with the tornado on his right side, two huge tornadoes, crossing and spiraling, simultaneously attacked Toshiro from two directions.

Bang—

Toshiro again extended his right hand to block one tornado. But this time, before he could crush it, the second tornado almost simultaneously struck him.

Although given Toshiro's immensely strong physique, being hit directly by Dordoni's tornadoes wouldn't cause him any harm, the fact that they couldn't hurt him didn't mean they couldn't hurt Nel.

If left unchecked, the first to be hit wouldn't be Toshiro himself, but Nel, held in his arms.

"Nel! Hold on tight to me!!"

Toshiro suddenly shouted, releasing his left hand, which had been holding Nel, to intercept the second incoming tornado.

Bang—!

Both tornadoes were blocked by Toshiro's hands. Nel obediently held tightly to his neck with both hands, so the embarrassing situation of falling from mid-air was avoided.

But just then, Dordoni suddenly pressed his index and little fingers together, then shouted, "Cero!"

Hummm—

With a humming sound, a red Cero beam shot towards Toshiro with thunderous force.

"Toshiro!!"

Seeing this, Nel let out a terrified scream.

At that moment, Toshiro's left and right hands were both occupied blocking Dordoni's tornadoes. At first glance, it seemed he had no strength left to respond to Dordoni's Cero, as if he could only wait to be hit. That's why Nel screamed in terror.

But how could Toshiro possibly be unable to respond to Dordoni's Cero? After all, Dordoni was just a Captain-class Arrancar. Even if Toshiro couldn't spare a third hand, that didn't mean he had no way to respond to it.

Seeing Nel's worried expression, Toshiro was about to actually act to block Dordoni's Cero and ease her worry when a small accident suddenly occurred.

Swish—

The skull eyes of the little skull mask on Nel's head suddenly lit up with a dazzling white Reiatsu light. The sudden change made Toshiro pause for a moment.

Then Nel opened her small mouth, and a strong suction force erupted from it.

Whoosh—

Dordoni's huge red Cero was completely swallowed by Nel, not a drop left.
