Chapter 26: Vs Hisoka
Cold sweat was slowly trickling down Hisoka's back as she was frantically looking for a method to get rid of the current awkward atmosphere in the room. No, strictly speaking, the only one feeling awkward was Hisoka, as Unohana was patiently sipping her drink with a kind smile on her face, while Yuna and Rangiku were happily chatting with each other while occasionally giggling and bumping shoulders.
'Uhwa~ What am I even supposed to do? If I were to barge into Yuna-sensei and Rangiku's conversation, I think I would feel like a third wheel, and I honestly have no idea what topics I could speak about with Captain Unohana."
Luckily for her, Unohana decided to break the silence as her eyes met Hisoka's.
"Pardon me for asking, but is there a problem with your eyes? When I first noticed that they are pure white, I assumed you to be blind, but I don't think that is the case, right? Naturally, if you don't want to answer that, it's no big deal."
Hisoka sighed in relief that the awkward atmosphere was finally gone and was just about to answer when Yuna started speaking first.
"Right, I totally forgot to ask about that, but considering the way your eyes look, do you still have that?"
Considering how Yuna framed her sentence, Rangiku couldn't help but get slightly interested as well, thinking that Hisoka had some kind of special ability when she was still alive.
So, with everyone's eyes on her, Hisoka could only awkwardly scratch her head as she answered Yuna and Unohana's questions.
"You are correct, Captain Unohana; I'm not blind and can see without a problem. In fact, I actually have especially good eyesight compared to most other Shinigami. I guess my eyes look like this because of the way my Shikai works. And considering Yuna-sensei's question, I might as well show what I mean by that."
As Hisoka finished speaking, she drew her Zanpakuto and held it horizontally in front of her eyes.
"[Reveal Byakugan]"
As soon as she finished speaking, veins appeared around Hisoka's eyes as her gaze grew sharper. Seeing that, Yuna couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Ohh! You actually kept your Byakugan, huh? I wonder if Hinata will be jealous if I tell her about that~"
"Mhh? Hinata is here as well?"
"Yup, so is Naruto."
"Urgh, shit."
Although Hisoka was a little surprised that Hinata was here as well, she didn't show much of a reaction in the end. However, as soon as Hisoka heard about Naruto being here, she couldn't help but get annoyed.
'Shit, now I have to deal with two harem protagonists at the same time. Will there even be any women left for me after these two get unleashed on Soul Society?'
While Hisoka was lamenting her fate, Unohana couldn't help but be a little surprised by Hisoka's Shikai release. She had seen a lot in her long life, but as far as she remembered, she had never seen a Shikai that didn't change the form of the sword itself but a body part of the wielder instead.
"How interesting. If it isn't inconvenient, could you tell me the ability of your eyes?"
Hearing Unohana's question, Hisoka simply shrugged her shoulders as she resheathed her blade, deactivating her Shikai in the process.
"It grants me 360° vision, allows me to see through things, and makes it possible for me to zoom in on things kilometers away from me."
"In conclusion, it allows her to better peek at people~"
As soon as Hisoka finished her explanation, Yuna decided to go for a nice little backstab, causing a shiver to go down Hisoka's spine.
Although Rangiku gave her an accusing look, that didn't affect Hisoka much. No, the problem was Unohana, who was still smiling kindly. In fact, her smile seemed to have widened a little when Yuna mentioned that Hisoka could easily peek at people, but despite that, the invisible pressure oozing out of her caused Hisoka to tremble in fear.
"Y-Yuna-sensei, please don't say nonsense! I swear I have never peeked on anyone with my eyes."
Instead of answering, Yuna only chuckled in amusement as the dangerous atmosphere surrounding Unohana started slowly receding, causing Hisoka to sigh in relief.
However, Yuna's next words sent another shiver down her spine as Yuna started grinning widely.
"Hehe, now that you have shown sensei your Shikai, isn't it time to reveal your Bankai as well, Hisoka."
"Haha, what are you saying, Yuna-sensei? I'm just a fourth seat; there is no way I can use Bankai."
To Hisoka's credit, she showed no outward reaction to Yuna's words. Whether that was due to her becoming very proficient at lying or because she had expected Yuna's words. Unfortunately, as soon as Yuna made her request, Hisoka's heartbeat started getting a little faster, which Yuna noticed.
"Hi~so~ka~"
Hearing Yuna calling her name in a sing-song voice caused Hisoka goosebumps as she immediately got up while drawing her blade, barely blocking Yuna's instantaneous sword strike.
However, that wasn't even the worse part, as Unohana, seeing how fast Hisoka moved and drew her blade, started to have some interest in Hisoka as her smile slowly became more deranged.
'Hee~ I wonder if she is one of the people Yuna talked about~ I guess I'll challenger her to a little fight later on.'
Meanwhile, Rangiku saw Unohana's slowly deteriorating smile and could only shake her head in pity.
'Seem like someone is about to have a bad time~'
As she said that, she was just about to take another sip from her cup before pausing a moment. After a short pause, she shrugged her shoulders, grabbed a small metal bottle standing on the desk she was sitting on, and poured a little of its content into her cup.
'Oh well, might as well get a little buzz going~'
As Rangiku took a sip from her cup, her face immediately flushed crimson, as her eyes widened in surprise.
'Strong! Just how strong is that alcohol!'
Previously, Rangiku had seen Yuna pour some of the small bottle's content into her drink, so Rangiku assumed it to be normal rum or something similar, but now she realized that whatever Rangiku just poured into her drink was far from normal alcohol.
'Oh well, it's delicious, so it's fine~ Besides that, wasn't Yuna already at her second cup? Seems like she has quite the high alcohol resistance as well.'
Meanwhile...
"Shit, shit, f*ck, damn, god f*cking damnit!"
... Hisoka was cursing up a storm as she was frantically dodging ice projectiles that Yuna shot towards her with a wide grin on her face.
"Hahaha, a lady shouldn't curse like that, you know~ Do you need the Tayuya treatment!"
Yuna's words caused Hisoka's mouth to snap shut instantly, before she immediately retorted Yuna's words.
"Shit, spare me the 'you know', will you!? I really have had enough of that!"
Hearing Hisoka's words, Yuna couldn't help but chuckle as she sent another barrage of ice projectiles toward Hisoka. As she was doing so, Rangiku and Unohana off-handedly noticed that Yuna was doing so while not even having her sword released, confusing them a little.
Anyway, seeing the wall of deadly ice projectiles flying at her, Hisoka couldn't help but curse as she took the same pose she used when unleashing her Shikai.
'F*ck it; it's not like there is any way around revealing this with Yuna-sensei being here.'
"[Bankai...]"
Powerful Spiritual Pressure erupted out of Hisoka, causing Yuna to smirk, while Unohana's smile became dangerous, and Rangiku's chin landed on the ground.
'No way, she actually had a Bankai?! Wait a moment; I'm the weakest one in the room, aren't I? What the hell!'
As these thoughts passed through Rangiku's mind, a gigantic hand entirely made out of earth grew out of the ground in front of Hisoka and blocked Yuna's attacks while filling the air surrounding Hisoka with dust and snow powder.
Moments later, a pair of white eyes with blue pupils filled with overlapping white flower patterns shone through the dust, and after another burst of Spiritual Pressure, Hisoka revealed herself, showing of her changed eyes.
"[... Tenseigan.]"
Seeing Hisoka's new pair of eyes, Yuna couldn't help but smile as she pointed her sword at Hisoka.
"[Unleash Pandemonium on this World, Chaos.]"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yuna's sword changed, changing to a black and white color pattern as the blade itself took on a bend and twisted form, making it look like its creator didn't bother putting any thought into the sword's final look.
"How interesting. To think you would get the Tenseigan~ Hianta's Shikai and Bankai have absolutely nothing to do with her eyes, so I'm really curious about what's going on."
Hearing Yuna's words, Hisoka simply shrugged her shoulders as a dense cloak of SPiritual Pressure covered her body while nine pitch-black orbs appeared floating behind her back.
"Sorry to disappoint you, Yuna-sensei, but I have no clue why I kept this power either."
Yuna hummed in acknowledgment as she got ready for battle.
"Well, if I had to make a guess, it's because she was more focused on her water-based power rather than her eyes, but oh well. For now, let's see what you can do."
As Yuna and Hisoka were talking, a frown appeared on Unohana's face as she inspected Yuna's sword.
"What is that? Her Shikai looked totally different when she used it against me."
Hearin Unohana's words, Rangiku nodded her head in agreement as she refilled her cup while adding another shot from the small metal bottle on the desk with slightly swaying arms.
"Yeah~ I was really surprised as well when Yuna suddenly started using ice against you, Retsu~ The first time I fought her, she was using this Shikai as well, so her suddenly having a different Shikai while fighting you was really weird~"
Although Unohana slightly raised her eyebrows at how casually Rangiku was calling her but considering what they had done together, she decided not to bother about it. Especially since Rangiku was clearly a little drunk.
"I see, I was wondering why she was carrying two swords, but it seems she actually has two different Shikai. Mhh, I wonder if that translates to two different Bankai as well. Or maybe, she can even activate two Bankai at once."
As soon as Unohana finished speaking, she couldn't help but lick her lips in anticipation. If Yuan was that strong, didn't that mean that she could grow much stronger as well? For Unohana, there was nothing more enjoyable than fighting and getting stronger, so the more powerful Yuna was, the more excited she grew.
Hearing Unohana's words, Rangiku simply shook her head while taking another sip.
"*Hic* I'm not sure about that double Bankai stuff, but Yuna off-handedly mentioned that her Swords Spirit was too young to perform Bankai."
Unohana deflated a little when she heard Rangiku's words, but in the end, she still couldn't help but smile.
"In that case, it's just a question of time, isn't it?"
Frankly, if it were a day ago, Unohana would have probably been pretty shocked by someone having two different Sword Spirits, but due to the intense exposure to Yuna in the last 24 hours, weird stuff like that didn't even manage to make Unohana flinch.
Anyway, a loud explosion occurred as the black orbs floating around Hisoka smashed the frozen projectiles Yuna was continuously throwing at Hisoka. Additionally, two gigantic earth golems had emerged from the ground and were steadily advancing toward Yuna, barely bothered by the small projectiles constantly smashing into them.
Initially, Yuna frowned due to the golem's presence, but moments later, a smirk appeared on her face as she vanished from her position.
'Well, thems like it's my lucky day~'
As these thoughts passed through her mind, she appeared above the first golem, slashing her sword through it two times before appearing next to the second one and doing the same after seemingly randomly slashing the air twice.
Seeing that, Hisoka couldn't help but frown as Yuna's two attacks only left two insignificant gashed in the golem's body that would heal within seconds. She swiftly commanded the golems to continue advancing, but to her surprise, neither of them was moving.
"Sorry, I just increased their weight by a hundred fold~"
A shiver went through Hisoka's spine as she suddenly heard Yuna's voice next to her. She quickly raised her blade, barely blocking Yuna's surprise attack, but as soon as her blade came into contact with Yuna's, a deep frown appeared on Hisoka's face as her weapon suddenly felt significantly heavier.
'The hell? Does her weapon have the same ability as Kira's? However, the weight increase isn't simply two times the initial weight; this is much more. Is it a set modifier instead of a multiplication of the current weight?'
Although Hisoka wasn't happy about it, she needed more information, so she decided to clash with Yuna again; however, as soon as the two swords touched, a weird expression appeared on Hisoka's face.
'What the hell, why does my Zanpakuto suddenly feel uncomfortably hot? What is going on?'
Despite the uncomfortable feeling, Hisoka didn't let go of her sword as the black floating balls returned to her and attacked Yuna, who simply deflected them by slashing at them with her sword.
The first two she reflected didn't show any changes, but Hisoka could swear that the temperature around them had increased, while the next one, deflected by Yuna, suddenly became hard to control. Hisoka quickly realized that this ball up and down was reversed somehow, forcing her to put more concentration into controlling it.
However, from there on, things became even more ridiculous as one of the balls straight up refused to listen to Hisoka after Yuna touched it with her blade and instead started drawing... phallic objects... into the ground, while othered had their controls reversed, became heavier or lighter and one of them even started glowing, seemingly without any additional effects.
"What the hell kind of Shikai is this!"
Naturally, Hisoka couldn't help but get slightly depressed by the weirdness happening in front of her. As far as she had seen, Shikai tends to be a rather simple powerup, with Aizen being one of the exceptions. However, Yuna's Shikai turned all of that around as it seemingly had endless amounts of different abilities.
Seeing the utter confusion on Hisoka's face, Yuna couldn't help but chuckle in amusement.
'Hehe, my little Chaos sure has grown up.'
[Gah~ getting stronger!]
[Guess her first real fight must have allowed her to grow up quite a bit, huh?]
'Yeah, that's my guess as well. However, I really wonder where that penis drawing enhancement came from. Any explanation, Chaos?'
[Chaos, random, gah~ Not Chaos fault!]
'[Sure, we believe you.]'
While Hisoka's eyes became bloodshot due to her trying to keep up with which of her black orbs was affiliated with what status effect and the Yuna, Kurama, and Chaos trio chatting, Unohana couldn't help but look at what was happening in front of her with curiosity.
"Another incredible unusual Shikai. There are so many diverse effects, but I don't see any order or rhythm of how they are applied. It's almost as if they are applied..."
"... *Hic* randomly~"
Before Unohana could finish speaking, Rangiku finished her sentence with a slur in her voice.
"Hehe, Yuna's Shikai fits her sword's name rather well: Chaos."
Hearing Rangiku's words, Unohana briefly pondered on what she had witnessed so far before her eyes opened in realization.
"No way, her swords abilities are random?"
Rangiku nodded in acknowledgment when she heard Unohana's question as she took another sip from her cup, sighing in satisfaction.
"Haa~ Delicious~ Yup, the effect Yuna's blade has upon collision is random. However, whatever effects are applied to what she has cut are applied to her own sword as well. Meaning after slashing those two golems, the weight of her sword supposedly increased by ten thousand times, but considering the two random slashes she made after attacking the first one, there must have been a random weight loss modification that she applied to, I guess, multiple snowflakes and her sword. In conclusion, she got a really lucky sequence, hehe~"
A deep frown appeared on Unohana's face as she digested Rangiku's words. If it came to experience in swordsmanship, few could hope to match her, so after analyzing what Rangiku had said, she quickly realized another thing influencing Yuna's combat style.
"Does she know what kind of ability her sword will have beforehand?"
Hearing Unohana's question, Rangiku couldn't help but giggle as she took another sip from her cup, allowing the warm liquid to heat her up from the inside.
"She claims that she knows randomly what abilities her sword will have for the next one to ten seconds. What a monster, right, hahaha!?"
Unohana couldn't help but nod in acknowledgment to Rangiku's words. Frankly, she was considered Soul Society's greatest swordmaster, and she honestly couldn't help but feel that she wasn't capable of managing such a complicated gimmick.
No, that wasn't entirely correct. She had no doubt about being capable of managing an ability like that. The problem was that while doing so, Yuna's swordsmanship still seemed incredibly fluid, like no matter what kind of weird gimmick awaited her, she could deal with it.
Others might be discouraged after discovering someone being significantly more skilled in something they had dedicated a large part of their life to, but Unohana was not that kind of person, as her mouth twisted into a deranged smile.
'Just how many things is she hiding? How strong is she truly? And most importantly... how much stronger can I become by her side~'
Dense Spiritual Pressure oozed out of Unohana as her eyes were glued to Yuna, who was currently toying with Hisoka, while Rangiku could only shake her head.
Frankly, if she weren't slightly drunk while having spent the last night with Unohana, she would probably be rather intimidated by Unohana's Spiritual Pressure. However, in her current state, she could only chuckle in amusement while taking another sip.
'Well, I guess I need to up my game as well, huh? I don't think I can reach the same level as these two monsters, but after Yuna showed me how to resolve the problem with my soul, I should, at the very least, gun for my Bankai. I don't mind someone stronger protecting me, but there is a limit to that as well. I might not be a prideful person, but I refuse to be a damsel.'
As those thoughts passed through Rangiku's head, she took another sip from her cup, just to realize that it was empty.
'Oh well, time for another drink~'
