"You're a hell of a lot stronger than I am, and I knew I wouldn't be able to disguise that fact for long," he continued, drawing ointment from his side pocket and applying more to his wound. "Maybe one day when I get my Shikai I'll take you on again!" he said, pulling himself onto his feet. "Right now, there's an emergency to attend to, if I may be dismissed that is, Captain."
