How many mistakes were going to happen. The fight was not going how Jinno had imagined it. He was reacting slower than he ever has. He braced for impact but instead was met with a gust of speed from Maho's fake blow. For half a second, and i mean only half a second confusion was apparent on Jinnosuke's face. Then it hit him, literally. Maho had succeeded in faking him out by showing what he was actually capable of. His body immediately recoiled as it was laid into. He didn't have to react, because before he could manage to exhale his breath before it was knocked out of him it was as if only a few seconds had passed. Jinnosuke's back was against his Zanpakuto and everything he had just seen was an illusion of Maho's true speed.
His combo came as a half unexpected battering. Jinno as tossed around like a rag doll with each impact stopping his recoil by hitting him with another limb. This continued for what felt like an eon before his brain settled and his eyes regained focus. Never before had he been struck so hard. Each bone that Maho hit had minor fractures underlying the bone, this made him feel alive as old injuries gave him phantom reminders of every scar on his body. This awoke the devil inside jinn once more.
Jinno looked down at his body, Scuff marks and fractures ran throughout his bones, he could tell that just from moving. He had protected his head as best he could but even then he had found a minor bit of blood from Maho's left knuckle breaking his skin and dripping down his forehead. Pushing saliva and blood and a bit of tooth fragment out and spitting it onto the gorund below he would look up smiling at Maho. He hadn't ever before been hit so hard. He had a feeling it wouldn't be the hardest either. His hands were open in front of his face as it then hit him, A recoil of pain was sent through his body. Enough to make the man shout with a low growl. He tossed over as his muscles contracted due to the hit and he felt each impact twice. Twenty times huh, that's how many blows he sent in half a second. Jinnosuke's body would quickly start to adjust, the pressure of the punches tempering his body even more so, Enough to act as quickly. Standing and putting his left hand onto Ikari, his beloved Zanpakuto, he started to howl with laughter. Captain Kojima was the only person that could Do this test with Maho. Everyone else would never appreciate the fact that the harder Jinnosuke gets hit the harder he fights back. " Sorry to keep you waiting Maho. You know this old man need's a jump start. I understand now. " He has always fought with his left hand. It was a unspoken rule for the man. He had no control over his massive strength in sealed state, and would destroy so much collateral around him he was forbidden from ever using his Main hand, and Both hands as a proper fighting stance. However this was not Seireitei, not really. He was fighting as if his life was on the line. This was a misunderstanding Jinnosuke wouldn't make again.
For years now, Jinnosuke was raw ore being hammered and molded by his peers. He hadn't committed murder in almost 400 years, and he was never needed to solve major conflicts. This left his in a state of dormancy, he had been training longer than any shinigami that shared his age bracket. Yet had never sought the need to use it. Just perpetually growing stronger and stronger with very few equals. His idea of a fight now was very different from his days as the infamous Devil jinn. Those punches in Maho made something click however, something deep down that made the man snap back to those horrible times. Images of him running through Rukongai gutting the souls that lived there, meeting with shinigami and challenging them, and beating them with nothing but his bare hands. Then running through with a stolen Zanpakuto, His time in the maggot's nest. His peace, was in War. If you aren't fighting for your life proving yourself, you become stagnant you have become still water. No more, it was time for Jinnosuke to flow once more.
His right hand snapped to the handle of his massive Zanpakuto. For the first time he looked up, and actually saw Maho, with his own eyes and not some image of a training partner. He saw no comrades, only Enemies. Jinnosuke placed his second hand on his sword. Instantly the area around the two men exploded, Leaving a crater thirty feet below them, removing any material in the same radius with Jinnosuke at the core. This was a perfect blend of Reiatsu from both a Shinigami and his Zanpakuto Spirit. It took even true masters nearly their entire carrier as Shinigami to reach this level of bond. Once their pressure fully negated Maho's Jinnosuke pulled the sword up and swung it a few times. Before the last slash could finish he was gone. No dust or material components in the area to give away his direction, and now multiple sources of Reiatsu in the area to mask his attack. He wasn't going to wait for those giant arms of Maho's Zanpakuto to close in on him, they got a few yards ahead of their starting spot before he had acted.
He wasn't this kind of fighter however, Maho never would of expected this kind of attack from Jinnosuke, or his ability to reach this intensity of Reiryoku and reiatsu power. It would be now that Maho would perceive Jinnosuke to his right falling from the sky with his sword burning with intense Reiatsu. " Shoohi Suru, Ikari! " Roaring like thunder clapping, Jinno screamed out his shikai's release command. A phrase never before heard by the likes of Captain Kojima. Instantly his blade unfolded in energy, the radius of their reiryoku now tripling, then quadrupling as he descended to meet Maho's now formed Zanpakuto. His blade shedding off it's dull uncut-able exterior and revealing a massive cutting blade.
It's massive 8 feet long and crystalline sharp edge made this one of the most deadly blades in all of Seireitei, Not for it's sharpness or size, but for it's superiority. This blade foiled and soiled all other weapons, but it's secretly lay not in attacking, but being attacked. His fighting style would be completely foreign to Maho so he wouldn't expect this. Jinnosuke's attacks came just like normal except there was a hidden agenda. He was trying to get Maho to cut him! This from experience Maho would know would only make the man known as Devil Jinn fight ever harder.
If any of the arms were to blind side him, Jinnosuke would simply shift his massively long and wide blade into it's trajectory, even sacrificing his other side to make sure contact with the most damaging blow would be blocked. However, his main intent was a 8 foot long 4 foot wide quad slash upon Maho's right shoulder, right elbow, right hip and then directly down the middle of his body vertically. Each swing would give him ample room to also use the huge blade as a shield. With each strike the subsonic force of a category 5 earthquake sent shock waves into the earth below them now. Shattering the stone work even further. His skill was completely unknown in this element as no one but That lady from 4th Division has ever seen this Shikai. His two handed Zanjutsu mastery was beyond that of many masters even at Captain rank, His sword moved as if it was a rapier and not a massive cleaving great sword.
