Chapter 375 Success, Zaraki Sword 8
Chapter 375 Success, Kenpachi Zaraki
"Captain, don't we need to follow?"
Gosuke looked at Lu Li in confusion. After they arrived at the 50th district of Rukongai, Lu Li suddenly said that they should act separately.
He ordered the soldiers of the 11th Division to search the surrounding area for the rebels mentioned in the intelligence, while Lu Li himself said that he would go to the outer Rukongai to pursue the rebels.
And Gosuke had no idea that according to the mission intelligence, there were rebels outside the 50th district.
"No, you just carry out your mission here. It's more chaotic outside, so you'd better not go there."
Lu Li's reasons were just made up. Anyway, he was now the boss of the 11th Squadron, and he didn't have many soldiers in the team, so it was easy to fool him.
In addition, most of the captains of the 11th Division in history were self-willed people, so the soldiers here mostly only cared about how strong the captain was, and the captain's personality didn't matter.
Even a rather aloof man like Zaraki Shuang has quite a few fans. The 11th Division is a place where the strong are supreme. As long as Lu Li is strong enough, he can do whatever he wants.
Of course, he had to keep the matter of the broken jade a secret to avoid any other troubles if the news leaked out.
He led the team out just to find a broad reason to go out within the Gotei 13, and after he came out, he was free to do whatever he wanted.
"Then be careful, Captain."
Wuzhu didn't dare to ask more questions. After all, in his mind, Lu Li was a powerful and violent man.
"Gosuke Sansei, what are you talking about? The captain is a strong man who defeated the leader of the Quincy. He is the strongest man in the Gotei 13. How could he possibly meet an opponent in Rukongai?"
A team member smiled and said that these were the eight new seats promoted by Lu Li.
This was not said out of flattery, but out of genuine admiration, and the other soldiers present felt the same way.
Lu Li's combat record was quite good, and he also demonstrated his might and power in the battle of Soul Society. His reckless fighting style was very much to the liking of the soldiers of the 11th Division.
So after only a few days of getting along, these team members were already convinced by Lu Li.
Compared to strong men like Kenpachi Zaraki who are gloomy and play tricks, they prefer Lu Li, a reckless man who picks up a knife and chop people directly.
"When you are clearing out the rebels here, be careful. If they are willing to surrender and have good strength, you can invite them to join the 11th Division."
Lu Li reminded before leaving.
They are called rebels, but in fact they are just some hooligans in the vagrant street. Some of them were born with some spiritual talent, and they caused all kinds of chaos and disturbed the public order in the local area. Some of them even snatched the Zanpakutō of the god of death because of their powerful personal strength.
Because of the times, the situation is not as chaotic as the last time he came to the world of Death. There are basically no large-scale rebels who really want to cause trouble.
Because of this, the 2nd and 11th squads have actually been quite idle in recent years, which is also the main reason why Yoruichi can eat, drink and have fun all day long.
Right now, these thugs in Rukongai are disturbing public order mainly because they think the Shinigami are too busy to take care of them, so their behavior becomes more and more rampant, and they attack the more stable areas inside Rukongai, causing a lot of chaos.
According to the intelligence, the enemy has five or six shallow-bladed weapons, and they are indeed not ordinary thugs, but they should be easily dealt with by the soldiers of the 11th Squadron.
After finishing the explanation, Lu Li continued to go deeper into Rukongai. Without the attention of others, Lu Li took out the radar given to him by Mandala and found that the target had not moved. He should be a resident of District 80 of North Rukongai.
Lu Li moved at an extremely fast speed, with quick steps and flashes, and soon he arrived at his destination.
The familiar dilapidated streets were just the same as they were seventy years ago. Lu Li also saw the wooden house where he had just arrived, but now it was occupied by other refugees.
“Drip—drip—drip—”
Just like treasure hunting, Lu Li followed the instructions of the radar and came to a dilapidated house. The radar beeped loudly, but only Lu Li could hear this sound.
There was no one around, and Lu Li's strength would not be seen by ordinary refugees, so he quickly opened the door and slipped in.
It was three or four o'clock in the afternoon. Normally, most people would go out, but the owner of this house was obviously rather lazy, which was also the norm in the outskirts of Rukongai.
The people here are either lazy and waiting to die, or go out to burn, kill and loot, so District 80 is known as the most chaotic area, a place that people in the inner circle would never want to come to.
The man lying on the bed was shirtless, wearing only ragged shorts, and his body was covered with various tattoos. Judging from his muscular body, he was probably a well-known villain in the area.
Lu Li approached silently, and with just a slight dissipation of his spiritual pressure, he pushed the refugee from his sleeping state into a coma.
Even though he didn't look like a good guy, Lu Li didn't mean to kill the man on the bed outright, he just wanted the Spirit King's fingertips, which he could do with radar.
Previously, he discussed with Sosuke how to extract the tissue of the Soul King's flesh hidden in the human body, but Sosuke did not figure it out and said that he would go to study with Urahara Kisuke.
But Lu Li no longer needs to go through so much trouble after he has the props given to him by Mandragora. This radar-like device can not only search, but also inject spiritual pressure to pull out the Spirit King's fingertips.
As a tool for collecting the Soul King's fingertips, it is very professional.
Lu Li pointed the radar at the man on the bed. After turning it on, he saw dots of fluorescence rising from the man's chest. He seemed to be in great pain while in a coma, and his body kept twitching.
About ten seconds later, a finger joint emitting a little fluorescence solidified. Lu Li took out the spirit particle container he had prepared in advance and put it away.
The whole process went surprisingly smoothly. Lu Li thought it would take some more effort, but he ended up leaving home in the morning and getting the Spirit King's fingertip in the afternoon.
Not only that, he found that after he took the Spirit King's fingertips, the radar in his hand sounded again.
"It seems like my luck has changed recently..."
Lu Li smiled, feeling that today must be his lucky day. He had just received a copy of the Spirit King's organization, and the radar showed that there was another one nearby!
He didn't know what kind of tissue of the Spirit King it was, but judging from the radar's response and data frequency, this piece of the Spirit King's body tissue might be much larger than a fingertip.
Lu Li walked out of the house, closed the door, and followed the direction indicated by the radar into the unknown area outside the 80th district of Rukongai.
In Rukongai, even in the 80th district, there is still a certain sense of civilization, after all, there are many buildings, but further out are jungles and mountains, and there is no one living there.
Normally no one comes to these places. Even vicious villains will try to avoid going deep into the periphery, because in places further outside, it is possible to encounter the Void. They can act arrogantly among ordinary souls, but they are powerless against the Void.
Only those souls who have picked up or robbed shallow targets for special reasons and are born with a certain amount of spiritual power dare to explore the periphery or settle some personal grudges in the periphery.
Lu Li saw that the target on the radar was moving quickly, which meant that the other party was not a lazy guy. Judging from the speed of its movement in the forest, the other party might still be in a state of fighting. With this in mind, Lu Li sped up. He didn't want the target to have any problems before he arrived. If the target died in the fight, the body tissue of the spirit king would also dissipate and then parasitize other spirits.
It might be troublesome to find it by myself at that time, so it is best to take out the Soul King Organization while the other party is still alive.
Moving quickly in the jungle and approaching the target ahead, a loud roar was heard from the front.
The power of the sword extended, and several large trees fell down, making noises and raising smoke and dust when they fell to the ground.
I saw a man jumping out from the smoke and dust, with seriousness and fear in his eyes, and the sword in his hand was shaking with his body.
He did not notice Lu Li coming over, but instead stared at the tall figure behind the smoke and dust, "Don't... don't come over here, I know I was wrong, I will apologize."
"Ah? You were the one who started the fight, weren't you? Aren't you the strongest man around? Why are you giving up before the fight even starts?"
The slightly hoarse voice coming from the smoke and dust gave people a wild feeling. He waved the knife in his hand lightly, which brought up a strong wind and dispersed the smoke and dust.
I saw this tall man with a spiky hair, wearing a coarse linen shirt, which was common among refugees from the outer areas. The shirt was a little tattered due to years of fighting and wind and frost, and could hardly hide his sturdy body.
On his broad shoulders, there was a pink-haired little girl about one or two years old lying, who was pulling at the man's shirt with one hand and holding the fingers of the other hand in her mouth.
The little girl had an innocent smile on her face. She was not frightened by the noise of the battle at all. Instead, she said in a baby voice, "A Geng, he is so weak."
"Besides, it's really boring."
The tall man placed the knife, which had been chopped into a jagged shape, on the other side of his shoulder and looked down at the opponent who had a look of fear in his eyes. "Come on, I'll let you do it. I'll let you make the first cut."
As he spoke, he pulled open the collar of his torn clothes and said, "Cut here."
"madman!"
The man holding the shallow punch in both hands had a trembling voice, but a fierceness in his eyes. After all, he was the man who dominated the 80th district, how could he be defeated so easily by an outsider?
Now that the other party dared to give him a chance, he would kill this arrogant guy with one blow and let the other party know who is the stronger one!
He took steady steps, charging towards the man carrying the girl on his back. Just as he was about to chop the man's chest with his knife, he suddenly found that he could not move.
His steps stopped, and the blade that was about to cut could not fall, and the whole person was frozen.
The man's eyes were filled with fear and confusion. He turned his head stiffly with difficulty and saw a man in black appearing beside him. The man put one hand on his shoulder, making him unable to move.
Was it the powerful spiritual pressure that held him back? No, it was the unrivaled strength of the wrist and the aura that made him instinctively fear.
Just like an insect encountering a higher predator, its body instinctively goes into suspended animation. At this moment, he could only barely maintain his self-awareness, but his body was completely out of control.
"I can't let you chop me down with this knife. If you die, I will be in trouble."
Lu Li said that he could tell that the man carrying the little girl on his back should be Kenpachi Zaraki from later generations. Although Zaraki chopped the other party with a sword, the spiritual pressure on his body was too strong.
The natural recoil of spiritual pressure from this blow will be enough to kill the refugee, and then he will have to look for the Spirit King Organization again.
"Agen, he looks so strong."
Yachiru Kusaka, who was lying on Zaraki's back, pointed his little finger at Lu Li with his eyes shining.
Lu Li used a radar tool to lock onto the target and began to absorb and extract the Spirit King's tissue. The opponent was shocked by his spiritual pressure and had fallen into a coma, making it very easy to extract.
"Hey, kid, are you the Grim Reaper?"
Geng Mu carried the knife on his shoulder. His two-meter-tall height allowed him to look down at Lu Li. "Since you dare to snatch my prey, you should be ready to be chopped to death by me, right?"
"Oh? It's rare to see such a powerful refugee. What's your name?"
Lu Li asked curiously, and he wasn't pretending because he was indeed curious about what Kenpachi Zaraki's previous name was.
"I don't have a name, so it doesn't matter what it is, right? Draw your sword and fight with me."
Said Zaraki.
"No, isn't your name Zaraki? You said before that you were born in the Zaraki district, so that's your name."
Kusaka Yachiru interrupted and retorted.
"Ah? Is that true? But Zaraki sounds like just a surname, not a first name."
Geng Mu looked distressed and didn't seem very smart.
"Then just give yourself a name, just like you named me."
As Kusaka Yachiru spoke, he grabbed Zaraki's shoulders with both hands and swayed on him like a coquettish daughter.
"Ah... let me think... I remember a good name... um, let's call him Kenpachi."
Zaraki thought for a moment and nodded, "Well, my name is Kenpachi Zaraki."
Lu Li watched Zaraki and Yachiryu perform a duet and could only say that the other party was showing the composure of a strong man. If it were an ordinary person, how could he dare to chat with the little girl on his back while facing his opponent?
But that was also because he did not release any murderous intent or fighting spirit, Zaraki knew instinctively that he would not interrupt their conversation, so he was so comfortable discussing the issue of names with Yachiru.
Now that Lu Li knew Geng Mu's name, he could only say that it was unexpected but reasonable.
He was born in the Zaraki District, which is the land under their feet. The reason why he named himself Kenpachi should be the same as the name of Kusaka Yachiru.
Zaraki subconsciously still remembered the epic duel between him and Unohana, and he kept reminiscing about it, so he named the little girl he 'picked up' Yachiryu.
Because Captain Unohana's original name was Unohana Yachiru, and she may have reported her real name when she met Kenpachi.
In addition, her title is Kenpachi, which gave Zaraki a double impression and made him remember the two names Kenpachi and Yachiryu. In his subconscious, these are synonymous with strong people.
In the end, the names of Kenpachi Zaraki and Yachiryu Kusaka came into being.
