1. Before the battle
6 lines(I thought his eye patch was the only thing holding him back, but does this mean that Zaraki's instinct itself was limiting his Spiritual Pressure?!)

(And what if his Spiritual Pressure had been released to that level by fighting an enemy stronger than Ichigo Kurosaki during the battle in Hueco Mundo?)
(And his Spiritual Pressure had again been raised to an even higher level after his battle against a powerful enemy like Cien?)

2. After the battle
12 linesNgh?! Wh-What?!

Oh, well. I'll just have to slice up everything in this area, then.
Make sure you get outta the way, Yachiru!
Okay!
