Chapter 105: This Soul King Palace Will Bear Araki's Name Sooner or Later!
"Once you become a member of Division 0, your power will receive the blessing of His Majesty the Soul King. Your strength will rise without limit, reaching a level you could never have imagined while you were in the Thirteen Court Guard Squads!"
"To the point that whenever we members of Division 0 descend to the lower realm on a mission, we have to be cautious all day long, terrified that one careless mistake might destroy the world! Kenpachi, can you imagine living every day in a world made entirely of paper?!"
Kirinjii had a blade of foxtail grass hanging from his mouth as he calmly explained this to the young Kenpachi.
"A world made entirely of paper?"
Upon hearing that, Kenpachi recalled the state he entered after releasing his Shikai—the feeling that, if he swung the blade in his hand with all his strength, he could split the entire Seireitei apart.
"Yes, yes, yes, exactly that feeling! The sensation that with the slightest bit of force, everything around you will shatter! But Division 0 is not on the tiny scale of the Seireitei! We operate on the scale of a world!"
"If members of Division 0 merely activate their Zanpakuto's Bankai, it will have an enormous impact on the entire Soul Society, even the Human World and Hueco Mundo!"
"So unless absolutely necessary, our power remains sealed. Only when Division 0 is left with a single member can that seal be lifted and we can go all out! At least, that was how it was originally designed..."
At that moment, Oetsu Nimaiya, the Sword God, took over from Kirinjii and continued.
"What do you mean, that was how it was originally designed?"
Kenpachi was completely lost.
