The Pierced Zanpakuto

Gerard spoke instinctively upon hearing that.

"How could that be? Nianzol Weizol's ability automatically makes him evade all tangible and intangible harm. In theory, nothing should be able to hurt him."

At that moment, not only did the Divine Punishment Guard wear shocked, bewildered expressions, but even Kurosaki Ichigo, standing behind Chiba Makoto, showed a trace of confusion.

As for what happened next, for Chiba Makoto, the
