"Kuchiki Byakuya... so it's him..." Ganju said with a grim expression.
"You... you know Captain Kuchiki too, Ganju-san?" Hanataro asked, trembling all over.
"Of course! The Kuchiki Clan is one of the Four Great Noble Houses, holding the title of Shoichii. Kuchiki Byakuya is hailed as the most capable head of the family in history. Among the Captains of the Gotei 13, he's very famous!"
"This is bad! Of all tis to run into him!" Ganju's face was extrely unpleasant.
"We're finished! How could the two of us possibly be a match for Captain Kuchiki?" Hanataro said in despair.
"No... no... maybe... maybe we should beg for his rcy, ask him to spare our lives?" Ganju suddenly suggested.
"What are you saying, Ganju-san?!" Hanataro shouted angrily.
"What we should do now is take Rukia-san and escape quickly!" Hanataro said.
"Are you brainless? Escape where? The only exit is that bridge! Do you want to defeat Kuchiki Byakuya on the bridge and then leave calmly?" Ganju roared.
"And you want to die for my brother's killer? That's absolutely impossible!!" Ganju pointed at Rukia and yelled.
"Th-then... alright. I can't bla you. Ganju-san, you have no obligation to rescue Rukia-san. I was wrong to try and force you."
"H-however, when you escape, please try to take Rukia-san with you. I'll stay behind and hold off Captain Kuchiki!" Despite trembling uncontrollably under Byakuya's Reiatsu, Hanataro resolutely stepped forward.
Upon hearing Hanataro's words, both Ganju and Rukia couldn't help but surprised, looking at him in surprise.
Neither Ganju nor Rukia expected the usually timid Hanataro to say such things.
"Hey! Are you crazy? Snap out of it! How could you possibly be a match for that Kuchiki Byakuya?" Ganju tried to dissuade him.
Hanataro shook his head. "I... I understand how you feel, Ganju-san. If it were , I wouldn't die for my enemy either..."
"I'm not talking about that! Kuchiki Byakuya's Reiatsu is so imnse. How could we possibly fight him?!" Ganju roared.
"I know that!!"
"But I ca here to rescue Rukia-san!"
"How can I leave without doing anything?" With that, Hanataro bowed to Ganju. "Thank you for taking care of all this ti!"
"Well then, I'm going!" Hanataro offered a bitter smile, then turned and walked towards Byakuya on the bridge, carrying a sense of tragic determination, as if marching to his doom.
"No! Don't go, Hanataro!" Rukia wanted to stop Hanataro, but Ganju grabbed her.
"Wh-what are you doing?! Let go!" Rukia struggled.
Ganju ignored Rukia, staring at Hanataro's back. "You idiot, you didn't even bring your Zanpakuto. What can you do? Look how you're shaking, you must be terrified inside! You're so useless, yet you still try to play the hero!"
Then, Ganju pushed Rukia aside and shouted as he ran out.
"Woooooooah!!" Ganju kept yelling, pumping himself up.
"Wh-what's that noise?" Hanataro, having just reached the bridge, heard the sudden shouts from behind.
Turning around, he saw Ganju catching up to him.
Ganju walked up to Hanataro, his expression serious. "Step back. Leave Kuchiki Byakuya to !"
"Ga-Ganju-san?"
"Urghhh!!" Without waiting for Hanataro to speak, Ganju passed him and walked towards Byakuya in the distance.
'Sorry, big brother...'
'I'll avenge you later.'
'If you want to bla soone, bla our sister. She taught I can't abandon a companion and run for my life,' Ganju thought to himself as he walked.
Then, stopping about ten ters away from Byakuya, Ganju halted.
"I'm here! Young master, let be your opponent!" Ganju pointed at Byakuya provocatively.
However, Byakuya looked at the provoking Ganju as if looking at an insect, showing no sign of anger, only disappointnt. "I thought perhaps a skilled individual had suppressed their Reiatsu and slipped in..."
"But it's just a small fry? How disappointing."
"Let end this boring farce." Hearing Byakuya's words, Ganju's heart sank.
'This is terrible. Just standing face-to-face like this makes tremble uncontrollably. His reiatsu is too strong!'
'Since the difference in strength is so vast, any tricks are useless.'
'Then I can only gamble!' Thinking this, Ganju drew the large sword at his waist, let out a shout, and charged at Byakuya.
Upon reaching Byakuya, Ganju suddenly extended his left hand, which had been behind his back all along. In it, he held several objects resembling shuriken.
"You fell for it! Take my ultimate technique… Blood-Tear Ball—!"
Whoosh!
Byakuya's figure flashed, instantly appearing behind Ganju.
Squelch!
Blood spurted from Ganju's shoulder, and the shuriken in his hand scattered on the ground.
With a thud, Ganju couldn't help but kneel on the ground.
"Get lost. I'll let you go this ti. Don't be an eyesore here. My sword isn't ant for slaying small fry like you." With that, Byakuya ignored Ganju and walked towards Rukia not far away.
"Urghhhh!!"
"You stop right there!!" Ganju yelled.
Byakuya paused, frowning. "Didn't you hear ? I told you to disappear."
"Save your breath, young master! I don't care if you're a noble or not! A man of the Shiba Clan won't be intimidated by you like this!!" Ganju struggled to his feet and roared.
