Zaraki's Eyepatch [Ibiki Equipment]

» Item Name: Zaraki's Eyepatch
» Item Type: Aid

» Used For: Combat/Enhancement

» Item Description: Zaraki's Eyepatch is exactly as it sounds: it is the eyepatch which once belonged to Kenpachi Zaraki. This was a remnant of his attire that was found in the barracks of the combat division squad. Ibiki took this object, infused it with her willpower and used it as another sentimental object she turns to for a source of additional resolve.

Now, the reason why it is such a sacred object to her is because it was a mark of his captaincy. It is the tool he used to restrain his might from obliterating many weaker foes so that he may enjoy the art of combat to it's fullest. So, from this eyepatch that had seen many centuries of bloodlust loving combat, Ibiki has placed her own spiritual to be set in-tune with the residue of Kenpachi's spiritual energy that had once so been furiously sealed within this object.

Hence, instead of being used to seal and suppress, Ibiki's usage of this eyepatch has been reversed to unleash and empower. As when she wears this eyepatch, Ibiki is able to see an increase in the amount of willpower that flows throughout her body. It is as if she is transforming herself into the monster that Kenpachi once was and being overfilled with a high volume of new energy. And there is a bit of truth behind it.

Zaraki's Eyepatch has now been remolded by Ibiki's own power in order to store and seal away portions of her energy when she trains with it, meditates with it or fights with it. This means that instead of constantly restricting her, it is eating away at her body and taking pieces of her energy to store for later use. As it incubates her will and energy, allows it to fester and when she lets it loose -- it turns her into a complete monster.

As she is capable of storing roughly half of her overall base energy within this eyepatch. So, if she were worn down and beaten within a fight, she could restore her energy and will reserves by upwards of half if she were to adorn this item during a fight. For, in other words, if she had been fighting at 50% energy, this eyepatch could return her to 100% if used. And, if she was to adorn this during the fight, then she could tack it on to her current reserves and fight at 150% of her energy.

With that said, there are a few stipulations to this. One of the first is, that in order to activate the ENERGY abilities of this eyepatch, Ibiki must be facing a worthwhile foe that gets the blood boiling. As something like this must be used against an opponent that would get a Kenpachi's combative spirit boiling and ready to fight. Second, if this first protocol is not met, then the ability will not work and it may end up only taking away 25% of her remaining energy. So, Ibiki were at 100%, but used this eyepatch against a foe who did not meet her standards of excitement, then it would drain her to 75% and it would be deemed inefficient.

Hence, there is some risk to this and Iibki most evaluate when to use this equipment after engaging in combat or understanding who she is fighting against prior to a battle.

It should be noted that after Ibiki using this item, it will often take four to five threads before she can use it again. So Ibiki chooses to use this item with caution because the refractory period is rather extensive and takes awhile to recharge once again.
