Twenty-One, Bleach: Conundrum

DRIVEL. Zaraki/Unohana
-------------------------------

Zaraki Kenpachi was the strongest man in Seireitei. This wasn't opinion or rumor; this was fact. His spiritual presence was like a gale when calm, like a hurricane when roused, and indescribable when angered. He could fell weaker shinigami by walking down a corridor and ignoring them- and he did so, on his routine strolls through the Fourth Division.

When he removed the eyepatch given to him by the Research and Development division on these excursions, the junior chairs of the Third and Fifth divisions dropped as well.

He was the strongest man in Seireitei, captain of the most powerful and loyal division of the Gotei 13. Lesser beings trembled at the mere thought of him.

And yet, when he took one of his routine strolls through the Fourth Division, cackling at the sight of all those wimpy medics on the floor, a gentle smile from Unohana-taichou could calm his reiatsu and render him completely helpless.
