“You haven’t even released your Shikai?”

Muramasa, who had been planning to brainwash her Zanpakutō, froze. He couldn’t believe his target didn’t have a Shikai.

He then shifted his focus to Shin, intending to turn his Zanpakutō against him.

But Muramasa froze again. Even Shin, a captain, hadn’t released his Shikai.

“Impossible,” Muramasa muttered, questioning his own existence.

“What’s wrong, Muramasa?” Kuchiki Koga asked. Though he had grown wary of Muramasa, he knew he still needed him for now.

“You dare to chat in front of me? You’re really underestimating me.”

“<Finger Pistol: Flash Burst!>”

Yoruichi’s finger shot toward Kuchiki Koga, but he blocked it with the body of his blade.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

A massive surge of spiritual power erupted from Yoruichi’s fingertip, blasting Koga away.

Shin had taught Yoruichi the Finger Pistol. The Six Powers from the One Piece world, with a few modifications, could be taught to others. After all, they were techniques, not abilities tied to a specific power source. Skills like swordsmanship and hand-to-hand combat techniques from that world could be passed on.

Haki, however, was different. It was an innate power unique to the people of that world and couldn’t be taught. Shin himself had to copy it at first.

Though Haki couldn’t be taught, Shin had developed a technique based on Armament Haki: Reiatsu Armor.

It enveloped the user’s entire body in an armor of spiritual power, granting immense defense and amplifying their own strength, much like Armament Haki. A Reiatsu-based version of Armament Haki. The power of this technique depended on the user’s Reiatsu. For someone like Yoruichi, a single punch could shatter a mountain.

At this moment, Yoruichi had activated both Shunkō and Reiatsu Armor, a double power-up.

Though the consumption was doubled, her combat strength was absolutely terrifying.

“DIE!”

Yoruichi showed no mercy, aiming to kill Kuchiki Koga.

Shin had already given him a choice: surrender and live, or resist and die. Since he had made his choice, Yoruichi would grant him his wish.

As for offending the Kuchiki clan, she didn’t give it a second thought. They were dealing with a criminal. Besides, even if she did offend them, the Shihōin clan had nothing to fear. Their two families’ relationship wasn’t so fragile that it would break over a single traitor.

“Let’s see how many of my punches you can take.”

A single punch could shatter a mountain. After taking one hit, Koga was nearly blown apart.

In truth, if Koga were facing any other Soul Reaper, he wouldn’t be so passive. But against Yoruichi Shihōin, he was at a severe disadvantage. Because her Zanpakutō had no Shikai, Muramasa’s primary ability was completely useless.

Right now, Muramasa was little more than a captain-level assistant. Yoruichi was fighting two captain-level opponents, but she was still handling them with ease.

’Based on Yoruichi’s Reiatsu, she should have no problem taking them down before she runs out,’ Shin thought, confident in her abilities.

After all, he had trained her himself. No one knew her true strength better than he did.

“You two are pathetic. Is this all you’ve got?” Yoruichi taunted them.

“<Ice Fang Tempest!>”

Koga would make Yoruichi pay for enraging him. In his fury, the Ice Fang Tempest he unleashed was a move that even Dankū would struggle to block.

“No matter how strong a move is, it has to hit. Can you even touch me?” Yoruichi used Shunpo to quickly put distance between them.

In her current state, the only person who could likely keep up with her Shunpo was Shin. No one else could. Even seeing her movements was a difficult task.

“Damn it.”

Koga wasn’t good at dealing with this type of opponent. Even his hypnosis was affected. His hypnotic abilities came from Muramasa—it was the Zanpakutō’s fundamental power, the same power used to brainwash other Zanpakutō. It was somewhat similar to Kyōka Suigetsu, though their focus seemed to be different.

Although his hypnosis wasn’t fully effective, he could still use it to a limited extent, allowing him to dodge many attacks. In fact, if not for the hypnosis, Yoruichi would have already killed him.

“Your ability…” Yoruichi frowned, finally noticing something was off about Koga’s power.

Several times, she was sure her attacks had landed, but they had passed through him without hitting anything solid. And Koga was still unharmed…

Anyone with half a brain would realize something was wrong.

’Is this some kind of hypnosis or illusion?’ Yoruichi became wary. She had thought he would be easy to deal with, but it seemed she was wrong.

As expected of a genius of the Soul Society. He was worthy of the title.

“Looks like you’ve figured it out.” Kuchiki Koga remained calm. It seemed she was already partially under his hypnosis. Escaping now shouldn’t be a problem. He took a deep look at Shin and Yoruichi, then turned to leave.

Yoruichi, however, remained vigilant, her eyes fixed on Koga’s position, completely unaware that he was leaving. This was the power of hypnosis. She was seeing dust and sand as Koga, oblivious to the fact that the real Koga had already turned to flee.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

Shin’s calm voice sounded right beside Kuchiki Koga. Koga’s steps froze instantly. He whipped his head around, staring at Shin.

“You weren’t affected by the hypnosis?”

“Hypnosis is just a battle of minds. Your mind is far weaker than mine. It’s only natural I wouldn’t be affected.”

Unless the opponent’s spiritual power surpassed Shin’s, they couldn’t hypnotize him. Even if Aizen used Kyōka Suigetsu in front of him, it would be useless.

“Master, this person is extremely dangerous. We need to find a way to escape,” Muramasa urged his master, Kuchiki Koga.

He could feel that the aura emanating from Shin was incredibly dangerous. Muramasa felt that even if he and his master teamed up, they would be no match for him. His senses were exceptionally sharp. He had never felt such a terrifying aura, not even from Captain-Commander Yamamoto. That was why he was advising Koga to flee.

“You think you can escape?” Kuchiki Koga didn’t run. Choosing to flee now would be a true death sentence. Could he really escape from him?

If he fought to the death, there was still a sliver of hope. Running away would likely mean certain death. The choice was clear.

Muramasa didn’t object to Kuchiki Koga’s decision. He was merely his master’s tool. Whatever his master chose, he would fight by his side until the end.
