Chapter 267: The Final Wait
For Maki, there was one thing that had always haunted him, and that was the death of Kenpachi Kiganjo.
He didn't know when it started, but Maki heard the rumors about Kenpachi, and came to know that this title was given to the strongest shinigami, and because of this, when he joined Gotei 13, he chose the Eleventh Division without thinking.
The reason was that its captain was the shinigami who bears the title of "Kenpachi".
As for Kiganjo's ferocious appearance and tyrannical behavior? It was indeed in line with Maki's conjecture of the strongest shinigami Kenpachi to a certain extent. In Maki's view, the strongest shinigami, the Kenpachi should be Kiganjo was generally fierce.
Perhaps for many shinigami, he was tyrannical, but for Maki, the law of the jungle was the law of nature. Since Kiganjo bore the title of Kenpachi, the strongest shinigami, it was normal for him to be a bit tyrannical. This was the prerogative of the strong.
He had also been striving to become a strong man like Kenpachi Kiganjo, but his dream was shattered that day.
A sould from Rukongai, and it was also from the poorest and most chaotic area, named Zaraki, came to the Eleventh Division, and hacked Kenpachi Kiganjo to death in front of them, the shinigami of the Eleventh Division.
Even more so, from beginning to end, Zaraki Kenpachi did not even liberate his Zanpakuto.
Then they realized that he doesn't even know how to do it.
With a tattered asauchi, he hacked the contemporary Kenpachi to death and became the new Kenpachi. This was an incredible feat. Some shinigami of the Eleventh Division lamented the strength of Zaraki Kenpachi, and some shinigami like Maki could not accept this fact.
Maki, in particular, believed that Zaraki Kenpachi was a despicable guy. People in the Zaraki District were all treacherous villains. He believed that Zaraki Kenpachi must have used some despicable means to defeat the Kenpachi Kiganjo.
