At that, Aizen slowly drew Kyoka Suigetsu from his waist.
The snow-white blade glinted coldly in the moonlight, reflecting a chilling, menacing gleam.
He slowly held Kyoka Suigetsu before him, its blade upright and straight, displaying it for everyone to see.
At the sight, everyone froze for a moment.
That movement...!?
