God pov.

After cleaning themselves, Soi Fon and Wisp went their separate ways, the petite ninja went back to her district and I headed out to no place in particular. I was roaming around aimlessly in hopes of finding something interesting to do, not that I was having any success with that. I just kept walking, no wolves and no Soi Fon to keep me company.

Finally an ounce of entertainment in the form of a pink haired kid came into my field of vision. I raised my eyebrows as I approached the child.

The child noticed me approaching and grinned towards me like she already knew me, strange but not impossible, since I came here the news about me had been circling around pretty fast so she might've heard about me from them. Once she had reached me she jumped up and swiftly scaled me and sat atop my shoulder.

I was a little surprised but didn't dwell on it as she was a shinigami. "Hey kiddo, what'cha doing here alone." I said while sending her a side way glance, she quickly responded "Ken-chan wanted to find you quickly but he couldn't so I decided to help him! But don't tell him, it's a surprise!"

'Who the hell's Ken?', well the kid didn't look like she was scared of the so called "ken-chan" so he was probably someone good, "Well then, where Ken at then?"

"Kenny's over at the big open space at the top of the big tower over there." She pointed to a large tower a few ways from their current position. I began to head towards the tower since she seems so eager for me to meet this guy.

Although, I can't help but feel like I've seen her somewhere before, she's also extremely powerful so much so that I can't seem to perceive the end of her power. I don't know who that kid is but she makes my hair stand on end.

She questioned me about who I was or was doing here again, weird choice of wording but okay, she also asked questions about my physical appearance. The ball of energy that is the little girl on my shoulder called me "tall guy", "scary guy" or her, seemingly favourite nickname, "Wichan". I answered the question as best I could without revealing anything to important to her and just kept her occupied as best as I could.

I looked at the child, who's name was still unknown to me, and made sure she held on correctly while I hovered of the ground and up the tower. I let the kid jump of my shoulder onto the ground before I landed on the roof myself. "So we're here kiddo, where's the guy at?" She looked around and pouted, the guy probably left while she was looking for me. She spun around and quickly told me to wait while she ran off to find him.

"Wichan! I'll go get Kenny, you wait here okay." She energetically jumped around me, before I could respond she was already gone. I shrugged and laid down on the spot while I took in the cool air and the warm rays of the sun, it was a nice combination of cool and warm.

This peaceful moment didn't last long as I felt an incredibly powerful aura approach at high speed accompanied by the kid's own aura[1].

I also knew who this overwhelmingly powerful aura belonged to, the first man who was able to push me to my limits.

I stood up and took in the approaching auras, they numbed my senses and made my blood boil, 'oh how I love this feeling' I thought to myself as a maniacal grin stretched my face, hearing the distinct sound of a shunpo landing behind me I turned around. Just like I had guessed the energy belonged to the captain that made me flee the Soul Society, Zaraki Kenpachi.

The kid, who's name I heard was Yachiru apparently, was happily talking to the captain while she rested on his shoulder, my body shook with excitement, my muscles coiled and flexed as I prepared for the incoming fight. The kid jumped off of Zarakis shoulder and shunpoed away at extreme speeds.

"Well, it's been awhile hasn't it Zaraki?", the captain looked is eyes with mine and grinned. "I have been looking around for you! You slippery devil, we've got a match to finish."

He unsheated his zanpakuto and pointed it towards me, I put my hands up and spoke up before he could charge me, "Hey wait up, we can't fight here we'll do too much damage, let's find a place where we can cut loose." Zaraki glared at me but relented, the fact that I was willing to fight swaying his decision ever so slightly.

We quickly moved to an open space, a rocky plateau surrounded my a few rocky hills. The perfect place to cut loose.

We were already prepared, our swords were unsheated and Yachiru was cheering on for Zaraki. We looked at each other ready for battle, Zaraki slightly leaned forward and suddenly disappeared, I quickly pivoted to the left and struck out with the hilt of my sword. The Captain caught my attack with his free hand and elbow me into the stomach making me slide back a couple of meters, I grunted from the sudden force but I wasn't hurt which showed the difference in strenght between now and before where I would have been in worst state from just one hit.

I grinned but this moment didn't last long as my foe was already upon me with his sword high in the air ready to strike me, I lifted my sword to block the hit. Our swords collided in a shower of sparks as we looked at each other with our own psychotic grins on our faces, he pushed me back with a kick but I resisted somewhat and shoulder bashed him in the ċhėst sending him back in turn.

He quickly recovered and struck at me with his chipped sword, he was incredebaly strong, more than me that is and he also had more experience than me having lived hundreds of years.

Even then I was faster and the difference in strenght could be bridged if I used Energy in my hits.

Sparks hit the ground as our exchange drew on, nobody being able to take the upper hand. The ground shook with each hit and the rocky hills were slowly crumbling to the ground because of the shockwaves. The stalemate was broken when we both jumped back now separated by around ten meters or so. Zaraki laughed in satisfaction and rose his power to his current maximum, I grumbled, knowing that he was far from his maximum because of the eye patch, but relented anyways and used some Primal Energy in my body.

Kenpachi roared and lunged at me with a swing of his sword which was surprisingly heavy even with Primal Energy coursing through my veins. The force pushed my legs up to the knees into the ground, the eye patch wearing shinigami continued on hammering me from all sides with his zanpakuto, actually managing to catch me on the shoulder with the top of his sword. Finally thinking of a way to escape, I charged a punch and threw it at the ground making a crater in front of me, breaking Zaraki stance and giving me the opportunity to land a heavyblow in his stomach.

Zaraki grunted and stepped back coughing some blood and spit. He looked a little surprised but this was overshadowed by the overwhelming battle ŀust in his eyes.

I channelled a great deal of Primal Energy inside my body and flew forward with the help of Shunpo, smashing into Zaraki burying us into a huge crater. I soon was ejected by a great blow from Kenpachi who had removed his eye patch, the pressure became at least two, no five times worse, my senses blurred due to the sudden changes in energies around me, he was basically a living flashbang for my sixth sense and I did not like that.

I growled in frustration while stumbling up and shaking my head to get rid of the ringing, the last hit really rattled my everything. I flared up my Energy to its full strenght and gripped my zanpakuto harder to swing it full force towards the current Kenpachi, unfortunately the energy blade never made it to him after getting dispelled by unfair pressure exploding out of the Captain.

Was I shocked? Yes, was I excited? Absolutely.

The ground around Zaraki exploded a he charged at me like a freight train filled with explosives. He instantly was upon me and slashed me with his sword, I fortunately was able to block the hit but was pushed backwards but it didn't end here as he continued his ȧssault, we exchanged hits like to ferocious beast snarling at each other  in murderous glee.

I ducked behing a wild hit and kicked my foe's legs from underneath him making him fall to the ground, I then jumped up in the air and brought my heel high into the air, my body crackling with wild Primal Energy, I brought down my leg into his ċhėst burying him meters into the ground with spider web like cracks spreading in every direction.

I quicly jumped back and entered Shikai. "Rip apart! Chi no akuma!"

The familiar storm of energy enveloped my frame for a moment before it dispelled into the air, once more revealing my devil like appearance to the world.

I position my sword behind me while I waited for Zaraki to get out of the ground, he did get out of the ground however he did so right below me, I hadn't felt it coming as my senses were dulled as well as Zaraki's aura being everywhere around me. He grabbed my face and jumped high in the air before throwing me back to the ground with a yell.

Zaraki landed not for from and howled in laughter, "HAHAHA isn't this the best! This... this is what I wanted, come! Fight me!" I jumped out of the hole unharmed, I growled through my teeth who were revealed by the crazy smile on my face, I crouched down and gathered the energy around me and into my legs and then I jumped forward with such power and speed that it crushed the ground and crumbled the hills behind me into dust. The force was great enough to inflict damage to my internal organs and my legs but I pushed on against the damage and struck Zaraki guard which he had quickly brought up in defence but it proved to be useless as my blow broke through his guard and hit his ċhėst cracking a few ribs.

Zaraki grunted and tumbled on the ground after being launched by the blow, a fist sized bruise forming on his ċhėst and a dislocated shoulder that he pushed back into its socket as soon as he got up.

It was his turn to try and shock of the ringing in his head, until he charged me again with the same blood thirsty expression on his face. He swung his sword at me multiple times, that I struggled to block due to the sheer amount of ferocity in each hit, Zenpachi was able to land multiple hits that were quickly shrugged off because of my regeneration but he still was getting stronger and faster as time went on, he'll eventually take back the advantage. I sidestepped a swing and then jumped back evading a backhand but this left me open to the surprise attack from Zaraki who had thrown his sword pining me into the ground through my shoulder, without leaving me enough time Zaraki pummeled me into the ground every hit ever so slightly stronger and faster than the last one.

I rolled to my left escaping a fist and then kicked his knee to make him fall, I quickly followed by a swift jab to his face stunning him long enough to position my legs on his ċhėst and push him back into the hills, I large pillar of dust rising into the air. I grabbed the sword in my right shoulder and tore it out, the amount of damage I received wasn't small and I was painting with exertion, as fast as my regeneration is, it still has trouble healing something so fast and at a constant rate.

A pillar of yellow energy lit up like a beacon on the hills in front of me.

Zaraki opened his hand forward and his sword flew towards him, he charged his sword with an even greater amount of energy than I thought he could. Seriously, did he not have a limit?!

I mirrored his action and charge a combination of sword energy and reiatsu for one clean cut, we approached one another faster and faster until finally we broke out in a full sprint gripping our zanpakutos with only one hand.

All hell broke loose on impact, the land around us was flatenned and scars were carved into the ground, the sound of our clash thundered out in all directions, roaring like it was trying to show its power for all to see. I gritted my teeth my trying to hold back the monster in front of me, truly he is the strongest opponent I've had in quite a lot of time. Unfortunately for me our clash deflected each other's swing, my hit pierced Zaraki in his lower ribs while his made his way through my shoulder and down diagonally into my ċhėst.

If I was someone normal I would have been dead but I knew I would survive this, I have had worse. We pryed our sword from each other's body and stepped back.

Zaraki watched my wounds dissapear in surprise, sure he had seen me heal an entire arm but I am pretty sure my heart and lungs were cut in half. He looked down to his own wound and coughed out some blood, I pierced his left lung in our last attack so he was probably having a hard time breathing. This battle was over but he still raised his sword at me, I quickly acted and overcharged a fist which I sent in his ċhėst, fracturing most if not all his ribs and breaking the already broken ones. The blow stopped him in his track as blood oozed out of his mouth, he soon collapsed on his knee and down on the ground incapacitated.

The kid from earlier came next to him and checked his injuries, then with a big smile turned my way. "Thank you for fighting Kenny! He had a lot of fun thanks to you!" She bowed. I laughed, "No problems kiddo, I had a lot of fun too. Just try and get him to a healer before he kicks the bucket." She smiled at me before shunpoing away, probably to look for a healer. I teleported back to the Soi Fon's room where I went out of my Shikai and cleaned the blood off of me and my sword.

Then I passed out on the bed.
