1-2 Treasure of the Tsunayashiro Clan

What the heck? Are those strong Spiritual Pressures up there Kenpachi and Hikone?

Captain Hirako, you're safe after all.

Of course I am. But anyway, was that Rangiku's Haineko I just saw?

I'll get right to the point.

That's Tokinada Tsunayashiro over there, and his Zanpakuto has the ability to copy other Zanpakutos' powers. Right now he's able to use at least six different abilities.

Seriously? That's a troublesome thing he's brought out.

Shinji, if he were to use Sakanade's ability, could you also use it and reverse us back?

Don't say that so lightly. If he can copy even my Bankai, it'd be no laughing matter. But I'd try to figure something out.

I don't think anyone other than me could use Sakanade, though.

(If this Tokinada guy is on the same level as Aizen, it's checkmate.)

All right then. This will be my first time fighting against such a formidable group.

............

Ryujin Jakka!

That's a relief.

That heat was no match for Old Man Yama's. I guess it can be a good or bad thing that it's dependent on the user's Spiritual Pressure.

Wouldn't it have been better to let that child Hikone hold on to that Zanpakuto?

He is too honest. If he held it, he would only concentrate on one thing like an Engetsu or a Hyorinmaru, and that would be it.

(The Tsunayashiro Clan's treasured sword, huh? I see why they boasted about how it could rule history.)

(If someone with Old Man Yama or Aizen's Spiritual Pressure wielded something like that...)

(Aizen?)

Bakudo 21: Sekienton!

Heh.

It can't be!

I see you recognize it. But it's too late.

Huh?

............!

Head Captain!

Don't look! Close your...
