Chapter 1056 Best Friend
Both of them can predict the opponent's next move through the other's movements, and can predict the direction of the sword from the changes of the spirit particles. In addition, they are both very experienced. It can be said that in terms of sword skills, the two are evenly matched.
Their battle is not so much about trying to be better than the opponent's offensive, but rather waiting for the opponent to make a wrong judgment and reveal a flaw.
When the sword skills are so advanced, both of them can be said to be perfect swordsmen. No matter what moves they use, they are all divine.
Even Denise has not been so happy for a long time, and Unohana did tell Denise the whole story. Including why a killer's Huidao is so strong, it is because she wants to enjoy the fun of fighting more and not let the enemy die all at once, so she will use Huidao to heal those who are seriously injured by her, and then she will heal herself and kill herself in the end.
"But this still doesn't make me happy. This process is just a cat and mouse game." Unohana is the cat, and playing with the opponent has almost become an instinct.
Of course, she also talked about her fight with the captain. If it was just a kendo competition, she would have won: "I have defeated countless schools in Soul Society and I consider myself invincible and call myself 'Eight Thousand Schools'. But the captain not only has extremely high attainments in kendo, but also has higher skills in Hakutachi and Zanpakuto than me. I was defeated cleanly but I still didn't feel happy."
Through these exchanges, Denise suddenly found that the other party, the murderer, was not so annoying. She resonated with him and understood the feeling of being invincible. The moment before Denise was rescued by Duran, when Priscilla's sneak attack blade rushed over, Denise did feel unprecedented relief at that moment. If she hadn't met Duran and Kreya before, perhaps the moment she was killed would be the freest time in Denise's life.
Invincible is so lonely.
Like many people in Soul Society, Unohana Retsu started her life with a miserable childhood. A thousand years ago, there were no Gotei 13 and no commoner-born Shinigami. At that time, the Soul Society was ruled by the nobility, and the Shinigami in Soul Street lived even more miserably than they do now. Unohana was born in that era when commoners had no status at all. She thought she would die on the street sooner or later, until she found a murder weapon.
If you don't want to die, you have to kill people, and keep killing people. The more you kill, the more you kill, and then Unohana becomes numb. She has lost the meaning of life and only wants to find a strong enemy who can make her live again, fight happily, kill the other party herself, or be killed by the other party.
"Denisa, if you understand, attack with all your strength, don't let me have any regrets." Unohana's sword is faster and her steps are tighter.
Denisa understands that what Unohana lacks is not an equal opponent, but a companion who can understand each other. Denisa doesn't believe that Unohana can be invincible before her sword skills are perfected. At that time, she must have fought several fierce battles and her life safety was not guaranteed, but she didn't say that she was happy during that frightening period.
So Denise understood everything, so she had to respond to her, and answer as a confidant, that is, the sword urged twelve points.
Feeling Denise's action, Unohana smiled, this is right.
Unohana is undoubtedly a pathetic person. She has no friends in her life. She can only protect herself with a sharp sword. She has been hiding behind the blade for too long that she doesn't know whether she needs an opponent or a friend.
Why was she so happy after being attacked and seriously injured after meeting Kenpachi Zaraki? It was because Kenpachi Zaraki and her experience were so similar that she thought she had found a friend who could communicate. A lunatic can only communicate with a lunatic, and a killer can only communicate with a killer.
Unohana has completely distorted her feelings, and she doesn't know how to communicate with people called friends. She can only feel the comfort of her heart when she swings the sword to tell the other party that the two are so similar.
So Unohana Retsu is now trapped in a cage where the concept of friends has been deleted and only the concept of enemies exists, and this cage was built by herself to lock herself.
"I understand!" Denise's experience is also like this. If she hadn't met someone who could change her life, she wouldn't know when she could put down her sword and embrace others: "So let me set you free!"
"I couldn't ask for more!" Unohana thought that Denise was determined to fight with the determination to kill her, so she laughed happily and continued to attack.
However, it was not the case. In the next attack, something surprised Unohana. Denise actually let go of the sword, but her sword moves could not be stopped. If she continued like this, she would pierce through Denise's heart.
Puff, the Zanpakutō passed through the body without any obstruction. Unohana was stunned. She didn't know why Denise gave up the fight: "Why?"
Unohana didn't get an answer, but got a hug, a warm hug, a warmth she had never felt before.
"It must be very hard. It must be very hard to not find friends."
Unohana Retsu was completely stunned and let go of the handle of the Zanpakutō. Denise's words were like the spell of open sesame, hitting her heart and breaking into her heart.
Unconsciously, two lines of hot tears flowed from Unohana's eyes, and the Zanpakutō that pierced Denise's chest broke, melting the last distance between the two. Denise hugged Unohana tightly, although the blood in her chest was still flowing, but she seemed to be fine.
Because she moved her heart when she was stabbed by the sword at the end, she was not seriously injured even though she was pierced. She would be fine after eating some Senzu beans later.
"I understand everything." Denise gently comforted Unohana: "You are no longer alone, I understand everything."
All of these are true. Denise knows Unohana's distress. Once upon a time, Denise was also like this, until Kreya's hug made her understand everything. Now seeing Unohana, Denise also uses hugs to convey the feelings she learned from the girl.
Strong people can also desire friendship.
The chest of Unohana's clothes is also dyed red, just like Denise's feelings are all injected into Unohana's heart.
Such warmth, is this a friend? Let her feel it again.
Duran, who is far away in reality, feels the change in Denise's breath. He originally thought that Denise was in danger, but she didn't expect that she found a best friend for herself. Duran is also very happy. Denise has always been very accommodating to herself, but she was actually very lonely when she traveled through time. In addition to her daughter who can comfort her, she has no real friends. Now it is a good thing that she can become a best friend with Unohana.
But, my dear, please eat the beans quickly. If you bleed any more, Duran will be heartbroken.
But Denise thought it was okay. The injury was not serious. Unohana's emotions were more important. She must be so sad that she would cry when facing her loneliness for the first time. Let her cry in her embrace for a while. From today on, she will no longer be lonely. She has found a close friend who understands her heart.
