1-4 Beautiful Little Devil Charlotte

Here, here, here, here!

Look! I am here!

His Majesty, King Barragan's first Fracción, Charlotte Chuhlhourne has arrived!

Hunh?

My? My, my, my, my, my, my?

I've got this rule. I don't look at ugly things.

What's the idea of calling someone you just met for the first time ugly, sour puss?!

See here! I'll tell you something that's really ugly!

Judging someone based on appearances. That's right. I'm talking about what lives in your heart and can't be seen.

When I say something, you could at least look at me, you ugly freak!

I don't need to look at you because nothing you're saying makes any sense, you flipped out hair ball!

Hmm. It appears that trading insults isn't giving either of us an advantage.

So let's simplify things. I have a proposal for you.

Whoever dies is automatically the ugly one.

Makes sense to me.

When I win, it'll prove I'm superior to you in both fighting skills and beauty.

Mm, hmhmhm. You never stop talking, do you? It's going to make my victory all the sweeter.

Enough fun.

I guess you won't mind if I make things a little more serious.

Glitter...

Reinas de Rosas!

I can see what a philistine you are. My beauty must truly be unimaginable to someone as ugly as yourself.

Okay, alright. I can forgive you.

The fact is, when you think about it, it isn't a crime to lack an appreciation of beauty. I'm sure lots of people are deficient in that regard.

Truthfully, it's something to be pitied.

Oh, really?

Living with such a vulgar aesthetic must be absolute torture for you.

Believe me, I have the utmost sympathy for your condition. In fact, since I am the object of your tortured ignorance, relieving your pain is my duty.

You like to flap your gums in the wind, don't you?

Please accept this. Special Kill!

Beautiful Charlotte Chuhlhourne's delicious, avaricious, superstitious, surreptitious, expeditious...

...ceremonious, felonious, glorious, uproarious, sexy, sexy, glamorous...

...Cero!!!

It's just an ordinary Cero!

It's over!

Oh, really? For who?!

Bloom, Fujikujaku!

Guh...

If I say it's over, believe it, my friend.

A princess always gets her way.

It may not be fair, but that's the way things are.

This blackness... What is it?

Rosa Blanka, the Sentence of the White Rose.

My most beautiful, and my most cruel battle technique.

You're enveloped in this briar, covered with black. This is your fate.

You will die here, unseen by anyone, smothered in white petals.

Completely unseen, by anyone?

That's right. Your life force will continue to weaken until it's extinguished. The moment of your death will go entirely unnoticed.

No one can see in here, at all? In that case...

...thank you.

Tear in frenzy...

...Ruri'iro Kujaku!

Huh? Ah... What is all this?!

The flowers are feasting on your life force.

All the spirit energy you radiate is being stolen and absorbed into these buds.

The moment those flowers bloom will be the moment your life ends, Charlotte Chuhlhourne.

Noooooooooooooooo!!!

Now I'll enjoy some of your spirit energy.

Thank you very much.

You...

You're so sly. Hiding it all this time. Such an incredible technique.

I guess that was your Zanpakuto's second form. Your Bankai, huh?

Not quite. That wasn't a Bankai.

You see, my Zanpakuto's actual name is Ruri'iro Kujaku.

My sword is a little particular. It actually has a favorite color.

It simply adores the color sapphire, and it despises the color lavender.

The name Fuji, well it roughly translates to "lavender."

My sword absolutely loathes that name. So it never fully releases when I address it as such.

But why? Why would you do that?

Hmm.

Among the 13 Court Guard Squads, my squad, number 11, has by far the strongest fighters.

There's been an unspoken rule between us, that our Zanpakuto would only be the direct combat type.

I don't want anyone in Squad 11 to know my sword's abilities, especially Ikkaku and the Captain.

So now you can understand why, when you hid me away behind the rose bush, I thanked you.

In fact, if you hadn't used that technique, there is no way I could have used this sword at all, despite the consequences.

Even if it meant that you would lose to me?

Yes, even then. Even if it meant my life.

Your resolve is truly stunning.
