"When the strong find the next strongest, they can no longer swing their sword for their own sake. The tip of their sword will always be pointed either toward killing the next strongest... or toward nurturing them."

That was the philosophy of a Kenpachi.

And Unohana was following it.

Unohana was currently engaged in battle with Zaraki in Muken. The battle was bloody.

Unohana had killed and revived Zaraki multiple times, and with each death, Zaraki became stronger and stronger, lifting the limiters he placed upon himself.

Zaraki's strength increased drastically as the fight raged on.

For three days, the two Kenpachis fought head to head until finally...

Zaraki ended the fight.

Unohana: That was magnificent, Kenpachi Zaraki

Unohana: That was magnificent, Kenpachi Zaraki. And now, this battle is over...

Zaraki: It's over? Wait, are you going to die? No, don't die. Not yet. I still haven't had enough. Please don't die. I'm begging you... Don't die!

Unohana in her last breath spoke one last time.

Unohana: Zaraki, can you grant me my last request?

Zaraki: What...?

Unohana: My zanpakuto... Hand it over to (Y/N)... in my stead.

Zaraki was confused at the request. What could (Y/N) do with her zanpakuto? However, Kenpachi noticed something strange.

Zaraki: That blade... Where? How?

In her last moments, a small blade that matched the color of (Y/N)'s zanpakuto was found pierced in her stomach.

Unohana: You've removed the limits you placed upon yourself... As a Kenpachi, my job is done... However, that doesn't mean my power isn't needed.

Zaraki knew what she was planning.

Zaraki: You're giving your powers to (L/N)...

Unohana: I'm not sure if this will work, but it's worth trying... Thank you Zaraki, for fulfilling my selfish request...

Unohana remembered the last words she heard from (Y/N).

~~~~

(Y/N): When I return from the Royal Palace, I'll make sure to repay you by protecting the Soul Society to the best of my ability.

~~~~

Unohana's vision started to fade.

Unohana: *thinking* I'm sorry, (Y/N) but I won't be able to see your return from the Royal Palace. I hope my power becomes yours as an apology...

...

...

...

Unohana: *thinking* Your future's bright, (Y/N)... I hope that you continue down the path you've set for yourself...
