362. Howling Wolves

The "duos'" battle continues. Ukitake and Kyōraku versus Lilynette and Starrk.

Summary
Kyōraku proceeds to attack Starrk while he is talking, to which Starrk moves back with ease. Starrk begins to comment on how Kyōraku would attack while he is talking. But before Starrk can finish talking, Kyōraku uses his Busho Koma technique. Starrk parries the attack and fires a large cero from one of his guns. Starrk then tells Kyōraku he seems a little panicked and thats not at all like him. Kyōraku responds that he meant to kill him with the first blow, but his release must be really something if he could parry it. He then deduces that Starrk's gun fires ceros. Starrk confirms but completely denies it can do anything else when Kyōraku asks whether its capable of more. Kyōraku accuses Starrk of being a bad liar. Starrk says the same of Kyōraku. Starrk then tells him he made him release his "pain in the ass [Resurrección]", so he better show him his bankai. Kyōraku mentions that he has no intention of showing him no matter how strong he has gotten, especially if he is just gonna fire cero's. Starrk responds by firing his Cero Metralleta as Kyōraku, to which he flash steps away. Starrk fires again and tells him that he can't escape, Kyōraku dodges exclaiming how that attack is unfair. Ukitake jumps in front of Kyōraku after unleashing his Shikai and negates the multiple ceros with a blast of his own.
