"You mean... you mean..." He propped himself up with one hand and looked down at Uchiha Hikaru.
But the slight trembling of his arms and lips revealed just how agitated he was.
It was no wonder. For a thousand years, the Gotei 13, and he as its Captain-Commander, had essentially served as the mouthpiece of the Spirit King, alongside the Central 46 Chambers.
