Sōjun Minamoto fully assimilated the middle-aged man from the Zenin Clan, engraving the inherited technique into his eye.
At the same time, a star lit up in the night sky of his mental domain, shining with radiant light.
Just as Kenjaku had claimed—it was indeed the Ten Shadows Technique. Sōjun hadn’t taken his word for it, but now he was certain.
He found the technique fascinating.
With the assimilation complete, knowledge of the Ten Shadows Technique naturally ...

Give him the body?
Sōjun Minamoto’s mind stirred, but his face didn’t show a trace of reaction.
He wasn’t sure whether Kenjaku had analyzed his technique—his ability to assimilate and make others’ Cursed Techniques his own—or if this was just a test.
But either way, Sōjun didn’t flinch.
If the other party dared to offer, he dared to accept.
Kenjaku smiled and extended his right hand for a handshake.
Sōjun glanced at it, eyes thoughtful, wat...

His body trembled—violently.
Death clutched Daren’s heart like a nightmare, nearly suffocating him.
The freezing rain lashed against his cheeks and bounced off.
It felt like every muscle, tendon, and even cell had been drained of energy, wrung dry by the surge of adrenaline flooding his body.
Reflected in his pupils, the face of the future Pirate King rapidly expanded—a furious, untamed, and overwhelming presence, dragging a supreme grade blade crackling with bla...

“A clash of top-tier Conqueror's Haki...”
An overwhelming pressure swept in. The piercing wind bore down on the warship, making its hull and deck creak under the strain as fine cracks began to form with sharp snapping sounds.
In Daren's eyes, the world seemed to tremble violently from the confrontation between the two men.
Space distorted, ripples spreading rapidly.
Everything in sight wavered like reflections on a lake.

Seireitei, civilian residential district.
Kōga Kuchiki cut down an enemy, sheathing his Zanpakutō with a sigh. “That was the last of the rebel remnants. The war is finally over.”
His adjutant chuckled. “Yeah, this war dragged on for decades and brought immense suffering to Soul Society, but it’s finally come to an end.”
He had noticed how much his captain had changed lately—ever since befriending the young captain of the 11th Division, he had become noticeably ...

“It’s just a prototype,” Kisuke Urahara replied, holding an unusual-looking doll in his arms as he answered Masatsuki Aozaki’s question.
They were in the secret training ground beneath Sōkyoku Hill.
The doll Urahara had brought was a special spiritual tool called a Tenshintai—an instrument designed to forcibly manifest a Zanpakutō’s spirit by piercing it with the blade.

Nagato was about to throw out another harsh remark, but he had no time.
Just as he opened his mouth, Minato's powerful whip kick was already in his face.
He instinctively wanted to use Shinra Tensei but held back, raising his arms to block the attack.
"So heavy!"
Nagato felt firsthand the power boost Sage Mode had given Minato as he was sent flying.
Boom!
He crashed into the yellow earth, stirring up a massive cloud of dust.

Three days later, Kazuyama had already flown out of the Land of Earth to avoid getting entangled with Iwagakure. He even headed north until he reached the sea before turning east. It wasn’t until he saw a vast stretch of white and sneezed several times that he realized where he’d ended up.

Sōjun Minamoto gave the stone gate a brief glance before looking away.
There they were, openly discussing a partnership right in front of the Tombs of the Star.
Neither of them paid Tengen any mind. After all, he had completely withdrawn from worldly affairs. Anything that didn’t affect him directly, he wouldn’t bother with—and meddling in things that might stir up trouble? He’d never do it.

The two had run into each other plenty of times—every meeting, really—but they’d barely exchanged words. The last time they actually spoke was back in the Aragami’s Village.
The middle-aged man smiled amiably at Sōjun Minamoto and said,

“Or...?”
His tone was unusually polite.

The sea roared with fury.
A colossal tornado, rapidly expanding and nearly linking the sea to the sky, churned with howling winds and crashing waves, splitting open the turbulent waters with a deafening roar.
From afar, the violent currents twisted the black clouds above into a massive vortex that blanketed the sky, like a collapsing wall of darkness pressing down with an indescribable sense of dread.
To the Roger Pirates, it felt as if the storm itself was distorting the ve...

Unlike Shinji, he had no intention of exposing Aizen.

Second, he understood Aizen’s strength. Aizen wasn’t Yamamoto’s m...
