149 Zangetsu vs Utsu and Yami

(Zangetsu's pov)

Utsu and Yami were observing me without making a move. They've noticed that I'm not Jacob.

Yami: "You're not Ryoto Yuuki. Who are you?"

Zangetsu: "What gave it away?"

Yami: "...The air around you is different, but you didn't answer my question."

Zangetsu: "Who I am isn't important. All you need to know is that I'm not as weak and as soft as him."

To make my point, I dashed at her and swung the sword at her, which she blocked with the blades created from her hair.

Yami: "It seems that you are equally strong."

Zangetsu: "Physically maybe, but I know a few tricks that he doesn't. For example..."

I gently put my free hand on the sword and said quietly.

Zangetsu: "Getsuga Tenshou."

Without needing a swing, I released Getsuga Tenshou at Yami, but as it was milliseconds away from firing off, I switched her places with Utsu shocking both of them.

I then turned to Yami.

Zangetsu: "See, just like that, you would be dead."

Yami glared at me as if she wanted to kill me.

Zangetsu: "Nice eyes, but can you back it up?"

Utsu didn't wait for me and tried his luck attacking me, but it was expecting him and the cloth that usually wraps around me wrapped Utsu's arm.

Utsu: "What!!?"

I didn't let him think and immediately elbowed him sending him flying.

Yami seeing that I had turned away from her, tried using my blind spot against me, but as was the case against Utsu, I was ready for that.

If you don't see your opponent, assume they are where you can't see them. Spider-sense helps.

I turned around with a low sweep, and as soon as she jumped, I swung at her using the sword. Most people can't dodge in the air, but Yami isn't most people.

Angel-like wings grew out of her back, and she flew even higher.

I grabbed the cloth, started spinning it, and threw it at her. She dodged it gracefully, but I just kept throwing it and pulling back using its cloth.

It was fun, like shooting flying ducks, but my fun was disturbed by Utsu himself. He sent an uncountable (438) number of bats at me, which I countered with a simple Getsuga.

This is fun! Fighting is fun!

I repelled myself with flames to shorten the distance between Utsu and me.

As the bats were coming at me, I was defending myself with the sword and Haki against them, and when he finally was within my reach, I just needed to touch him with my fingers, and so I did.

My fingers touched his face, and using my sticky finger (joke intended) to attach them to him and threw him to the ground. At the same time, I tested if his mask could be taken off, and obviously, it was stuck to his face, so o did the second-best thing.

I started gathering red energy in my hand while still keeping it on his face, and with a big grin, I said.

Zangetsu: "Cero."

A massive explosion of red energy appeared.

I want more of that.

I called inside my mind, but in a way, so Jacob wouldn't hear it.

'Hey, pipsqueak.'

???: "Don't call me that!"

'Who said anything about you?'

???: "You...!"

'But since you are here, can you distract Jacob for a while. I have so much fun! And it would be a shame not to fight even longer, and I would want to use some techniques that I don't want to use while Jacob is watching. I want him to learn them by himself if possible.'

???: "Can you promise me, though, that you won't hurt Yami-chan too much?"

'Why? Is it because she is slightly shorter than you, and you feel some kind of kinship with her?'

???: "..."

'It's that, isn't it?'

???: "..."

'Fine, I'll try. But no promises.'

???: "Thank you. You are the best!"

I could hear the happiness beaming from her.

(Ryoto's pov)

I was watching the fight, and Zangetsu really knows how to fight. He even showed off swingless Getsuga. Not to mention his use of... himself. But can I be blamed? I just unlocked Shikai.

But I'll remember all his tricks. Like for example, using cloth in a fight. I completely forgot that I can use it that way since It unwraps itself with just thought I should be able to move it with my thoughts as well.

Not to mention his Cero. I'll make him teach him that later.

As I was making notes, I heard some noises, which was strange. There shouldn't be anyone in here besides me at the moment, and I think it's important to know what's inside my inner world.

I don't want to leave because I want to watch Zangetsu fight so I can learn, but if I have some problems inside of me, then I need to investigate.

(Zangetsu's pov)

Jacob is not watching right now. I can finny go all out!

Zangetsu: "Hahahahaha!!!"

My laugh scared them slightly because, for them, I just did it out of nowhere.

I raised the sword, ready to fire off Getsuga, but it wasn't an ordinary Getsuga but one mixed with Cero. It was also immensely more powerful than ordinary Getsuga as well. You could see that it was different from normal Getsuga by its red color.

Maybe I should change its name? Thoughts for later.

Seeing the danger, Utsu stood in front of Yami and slammed down his bat.

Utsu: "Bonk of Camelot!!!"

A castle started forming, protecting both of them, but it only motivated me more.

Zangetsu: "Getsuga Tenshou!!!"

The red Getsuga slammed against the walls of the castle, and they started crumbling, but they withstood my attacks.

My grin widened.

Utsu: "Bonkujo Tengen Myo!!!"

A giant appeared. It was a stupid decision on his part, but on the other hand, fighting a giant will be fun, so I don't mind.

Zangetsu: "Majin the hand!!!"

I used my own giant. It was still smaller than Utsu's bonkai, but unlike Jacob, I could move the Majin as I wanted. Plus...

The hands of the Majin became black, but only I could see it.

I covered its hands in Haki so I could fight against his bat.

The impacts of our hits made the air trample, but during our confrontation, Yami didn't just sit and watch. She is a trained assassin and waited for a perfect moment to neutralize me. Maybe kill me, but that just makes it more fun.

Hahahahahaha!!! This is great!!!
