Under Aizen's curious gaze, Uchiha Yoru used Impure World Reincarnation.
A complex summoning formula spread rapidly from his palm, giving off Chakra waves utterly unlike Reishi.
Then a coffin covered in talismans broke through the barrier between spaces and slowly rose from the center of the formula!
"Interesting."
Aizen's pupils narrowed slightly. The coffin's sudden appearance had thoroughly awakened his urge to investigate.
The coffin lid slid away.
Inside stood a figure in loose beach clothes, with long dark-red hair and flame-like markings on his forehead.
His body had the peculiar texture of dust, yet an extraordinary presence surrounded him.
It was Yoriichi Tsugikuni, whom Uchiha Yoru had left to his own devices in the Pirate World.
For various reasons, Yoriichi Tsugikuni was by far the most successful of Yoru's reanimated servants.
Aside from having Yoriichi reveal his identity to save Ace during the Summit War,
Yoru had made no demands of him for over two years and had never forcibly controlled his body. He had let Yoriichi grow on his own.
The main reason was that Yoru wanted to test whether someone brought back through Impure World Reincarnation could grow stronger independently.
Still, Yoru felt he had done right by Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
Now that he had found something good, Yoru still intended to let Yoriichi have the first chance at it.
"Clan head Yoru, you really are all right."
Yoriichi Tsugikuni opened his eyes and relaxed a little when he saw Uchiha Yoru.
"What's changed on the Grand Line since I left? Are my people all right?" Uchiha Yoru asked.
In the five-odd months since arriving in the Death God World, he had not dared summon Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
With Yoriichi's strength, he would be the best help Yoru's father and the others could have in the Pirate World.
