Haineko, inside of the double protective barrier that both Toshiro and Rangiku made safe, came out underacting from multiple spiritual bullets that shot close range.
But even though she came unscratch, she felt angry, not to her owner or to her Captain, but to herself.
Haineko who jump beside Rangiku said," use that,"
"What do you mean?"
"Use the Bankai."
"But I can still control that, and that is dangerous."
"Don't worry, I will control everything, I will crush that enemy's face in no time so don't reserve anything."
"Are you really sure?" Rangiku nervously looks at Haineko, her Bankai is pretty unique, it eats her Reiatsu pretty fast and the toll on her body is not a laughing matter.
"Just use it, don't worry, I will deliver you to Xin-sama after this," Haineko said.
"Captain, take distance, protect yourself." Rangiku said.
"What do you mean?" Toshiro was confused.
Rangiku waves her hand collecting all the Ash around taking back the blade of her Zanpakuto in whole piece.
Holding her Znapakuto, she calls.
"Otsuya"
Haineko explodes turning into ash enclosing Rangiku inside, the Reiatsu inside of them both suddenly spike up pushing Lillie and Toshiro away from her.
"A Bankai?" Toshiro did not expect to see Rangiku's Bankai, he never even expected her to master this technique.
"Bankai? Fool you can't kill me with that." Lillie arrogantly said.
When the ash starts to disperse, they see a gigantic grey colored cat with crimson eyes ŀɨċkɨnġ her paw while lazy looking at them.
"This is Bakai? Why is it big and... seems weird?" Toshiro murmurs.
Bankai "Final Release" is the second and final upgraded form of a Zanpakutō. Prior to Ichibē Hyōsube giving this form its name, it was known as a Shinuchi "True Strike", and when a Shinigami achieved it, they would possess an "Evolved Zanpakutō".
To achieve Bankai, one must be able to materialize and subjugate their Zanpakutō spirit. Materialization means the opposite of getting dragged into the Zanpakutō's inner world, the wielder needs to summon the Zanpakutō's spirit into the physical world.
It usually takes 10 years or more to achieve, plus the experience needed to master it. Despite the Zanpakutō spirit being subjugated for their Shinigami to learn Bankai, the Zanpakutō also becomes stronger and learns Bankai at precisely the moment their Shinigami learns it.
Even though Bankai is the final stage of a Zanpakutō, it does not mean the Shinigami's growth ends there. A Bankai, especially one recently obtained, can evolve even further as its Shinigami gets stronger.
Furthermore, obtaining Bankai allows a Shinigami to release their Shikai without calling its name, although some Shinigami still choose to release their Shikai by calling its name,
The power and forms of Shikai and Bankai are dependent on the Zanpakutō and vary according to the wielder's strength and training, but the power of a Zanpakutō's Bankai is generally 5 to 10 times greater than that of its Shikai.
Only the strongest Shinigami can use it, and it is the ultimate technique of a Zanpakutō. Even the four noble families, whose members are always exceptionally talented, only have one member capable of Bankai every few generations. Those who achieve Bankai always have remarkable roles in the history of Soul Society.
And not only that, there's no Bankai information of animals ever listed in History, this is the first time that a Cat figure Bankai ever came.
But from the size of it at 6 feet tall, Toshiro is pretty sure that this Bankai is powerful enough even to fight his own Bankai.
"Enough of this, a Cat can kill a good messenger." Lillie then opened his wings and shot the gigantic Cat using all his power.
"Dodge!" Toshiro said but the Cat lazy looked at them at and let the bullet hit her body.
Plop~
"Ha?"
Like a stone thrown into the water, the bullet only hit the Cat's body, with no damage at all or any notable wound.
Toshiro is amazed to see Rangiku did not take any damage, if he is not wrong, this is the Elemental Body form of those who use Element Type Zanpakuto.
Those who have Element Type Zanpakuto are granted the ability or power if they train to transform their body's composition into a natural element at will, as well as create and control it.
And it seems the gigantic Cat is the Elemental form of Haineko.
"Nya?" Hanako seems to notice Lillie as an annoying creature.
She raises her paw and slams down to him, her paw creates friction that makes her paw ignite into the fire.
Bang!
With one slap, Haineko easily crushed Lillie in the ground, burning half of her skin while wrestling the burning paw of her.
With one lick, the ember on her paw slowly died down while she lazyly looked at Lilie who climbed on the bedrock.
"Hehehe~ annoying flies, you made me angry, I want all of you dead!:
From below, hundreds of Spiritual bullets flew over them. It hit Haineko but it did not create any damage at all.
Haineko raises her paw again, and this time, her paw transforms into a gigantic blade-like tower and waves it down to Lillie.
Just like the first attack, the blade ignites because of the friction, Lillie who wants to dodge suddenly stacks on his palace, his feet are bound by ash so he can't escape.
"Crimson Ash Burial"
"No!!!!"
The blade hit Lillie and cut him in half without any effort, he did not expect that his passive ability regenerate did not even use as if his Spiritual Energy is already used up.
What he doesn't know is that Haineko is a natural Spiritual Sponge, she can gather all Spiritual Energy in passive while her attack steals opponents Spiritual Energy as a whole.
Of course, Haineko can't use it multiple times, her max is 2 attacks to prevent exploding, she can only store the energy she steals for mother for future use of her Master.
After confirming her win, Haineko then turns into a small size cat and runs where Xin is before the Bankai finally disappear, after all, Rangiku's condition is appropriate to be seen by others.
