Chapter 892: [892] : The Zanpakutō, Sayafushi

--------------------------------------------------

Shin had no interest in the members of the Zero Division, but they came to find him anyway.

Well, not Shutara Senjumaru this time...

It was Ichibē Hyōsube, the Monk Who Calls the Real Name.

This title had been bestowed upon him by the Soul King himself. He was the one who had named everything in the Soul Society and knew the true names of every captain’s Zanpakutō.

The Monk was the leader of the Zero Division’s five members, the highest-ranking among them. Yhwach had marked him as one of the five Special War Powers, and his combat strength was not to be underestimated.

Across the entire world of Bleach, the Monk’s power was undoubtedly at the absolute pinnacle.

His Zanpakutō was indeed formidable. It was just a mystery why it had no effect on Yhwach. It was likely due to the vast difference in their spiritual pressure.

"What does the leader of the Zero Division want with me?"

Shin asked the Monk.

"You know who I am?" The Monk looked at Shin, sensing a familiarity in the way he spoke.

In truth, the Monk was also curious about Shin. He knew the true names of all the captains’ Zanpakutō, but he knew nothing about Shin’s.

He was also aware that Shin’s Zanpakutō seemed to have the ability to use the releases of other Zanpakutō. It could even replicate the abilities of Yamamoto’s Zanpakutō, which was a frightening prospect. Even the Monk was extremely wary.

"You could say that."

Shin ignored the Monk’s probing gaze and said flatly, "Let’s get to the point. What do you want? I don’t like people beating around the bush."

"Hahaha, you are an interesting one." The Monk let out a few deep laughs.

"I came to find you about Yhwach. You should be able to track the Quincy, right?" the Monk asked Shin, his gaze intense.

"That... I do know where they are. But with your abilities, you can’t find them? That makes me question your competence."

Shin’s eyes held a hint of doubt.

"We cannot. It must be a measure Yhwach prepared. Can you tell us the whereabouts of the Sternritter?"

The Monk asked Shin.

"That’s not a problem. But I’m a man who likes to make a deal. What kind of trade are you proposing?" Shin said with a smile.

To be honest, Shin’s words caught the Monk off guard. A trade? He wasn’t going to tell them for free?

"What do you want? I don’t have much to offer." The Monk’s attitude towards Shin was surprisingly amicable.

This good attitude, of course, was due to Shin’s strength. If Shin had no power, would the Monk have paid him any mind?

"I hear Ōetsu Nimaiya is a master at forging Zanpakutō. Have him make one for me." Shin said to the Monk.

The Zanpakutō Ōetsu Nimaiya forged were the Asauchi, the blades used by Shinigami cadets. These blades were the original form of all Zanpakutō and were said to have the most potential.

"That’s no problem. I will have Ōetsu Nimaiya forge a Zanpakutō for you with all his skill." The Monk agreed immediately.

The main reason was that Shin’s condition wasn’t outrageous. If Shin had asked for something truly excessive, the Monk probably would have refused.

"Actually... I want the Sayafushi that Ōetsu Nimaiya has," Shin added after a moment’s thought.

This time, the Monk’s expression stiffened. He stared at Shin. How did he know about Sayafushi? Did Shutara Senjumaru tell him?

This put him in a difficult position. Sayafushi was a Zanpakutō, but it was considered a failure. Although Ōetsu Nimaiya called it a failure, he actually valued it greatly. Calling it a failure was more of a boast.

Sayafushi looked like an ordinary Zanpakutō, but its blade was incredibly sharp and smooth. No matter how it was swung, it would never be damaged, and not even blood could stain its blade. It could even cut through high-density condensed Reishi attacks with a single slash.

Because of its unique properties, no suitable scabbard could be made for it, which was why Ōetsu considered it a failure.

Though it seemed to have no other special features besides its sharpness, for a sword, sharpness was enough. It was the most fundamental attribute.

"Alright. I will find a way to get it for you."

In the end, the Monk agreed to Shin’s request and left.

A few days later, the Monk returned, holding a sword. It truly looked no different from a common Asauchi.

But even from a distance, Shin could feel the sharp edge of Sayafushi.

"The Sternritter are in Hueco Mundo, in what was once Las Noches. They are currently planning how to rescue Aizen."

After receiving Sayafushi, Shin nonchalantly shared the intelligence about the Sternritter.

"Thank you."

The Monk’s expression was grim. They were going to rescue Aizen? The Sternritter’s intentions were becoming clear.

After that, the Monk left, and Shin paid him no mind.

What the Monk did was not important to Shin. What mattered was the Zanpakutō in his hands.

"The failed work of the Sword God, Ōetsu Nimaiya? No, it should be called his masterpiece."

Shin swung it lightly. This sword was truly powerful—it could even cut the air. It seemed the sharpness of this blade was beyond his imagination.

"I wonder if it can harm me."

Shin’s eyes held a hint of curiosity. He placed the blade on his hand and lightly drew it across, and a fine cut appeared on his skin.

But the wound vanished in an instant. This was Shin’s recovery ability—when it came to healing, Shin was practically invincible.

"But the fact that it can harm me... that’s impressive."

Shin’s defense was no ordinary thing. To be able to harm him already spoke volumes about Sayafushi’s sharpness.

"Another weapon for the arsenal."

Shin was quite satisfied with this sword. Even if he didn’t use it, it would make a fine collector’s item.

But to simply treat it as a collector’s item would be a waste of its power.

Shin certainly wouldn’t do that.

While Shin was admiring his new blade, the Zero Division couldn’t sit still. They relayed the information they had gotten from Shin to Yamamoto.

The Sternritter were now in Hueco Mundo, and they were planning to release Aizen.

What was their purpose in releasing Aizen? It was almost too easy to guess.
