"Who is speaking?" Haruto wondered. Is it my Zanpakutō?
Then, Haruto found that everything in the world before his eyes began to collapse towards his Zanpakutō. Finally, the entire world collapsed into a single point, and he was sucked in.
When his consciousness recovered, he stood in a pure white, boundless, enormous space. Above his head, a giant nine-by-nine Rubik's Cube floated, rotating irregularly! Although there was no evidence, Haruto vaguely felt that this was his inner world. This was where the Sword Spirit usually resided. Every time Kurosaki Ichigo was beaten half to death, Old Man Zangetsu would drag him to a place like this for special training.
What would his Sword Spirit be like? Every Zanpakutō's Sword Spirit is different and not necessarily human-shaped. For example, Mayuri Kurotsuchi's Ashisogi Jizo, the Sword Spirit is a large golden grub. He himself only wanted to retire, so his Sword Spirit wouldn't be a salted fish, would it?
"You're the salted fish! Your whole family are salted fish!"
A cold, girlish voice came from above. Haruto hastily looked up, only to have a small foot wrapped in white silk kick him right in the face, sending him flying!
"Ow, ow, ow!"
Haruto rubbed his face, taking a while to recover. It seemed that whatever he thought, his Sword Spirit knew. And his Sword Spirit officially appeared before him. It was a pure white girl, dressed in a white Military Uniform, with silver hair and blue eyes. Her long, milky-colored hair, like satin, was tied into twin tails. A silver-sheathed Zanpakutō hung at her waist. Below that were plump thighs wrapped in white stockings, and the girl was looking at Haruto with disdain.
Haruto fell silent as he looked at his Sword Spirit. The appearance of a Sword Spirit was often related to the Zanpakutō's abilities. For example, Old Man Zangetsu and Hollow White, they clearly looked like they could fight extremely well. The Sword Spirit of Zabimaru, the Baboon King, was a monkey and a snake. Suì-Fēng's Sword Spirit was like a diligent little bee, the kind that kills whoever it stings. But why did his Sword Spirit look like a chuunibyou girl cosplaying? Could his Zanpakutō's ability be a Sexy Jutsu? After the Zanpakutō is released, a bunch of kawaii girls will rush forward and cutely kill the opponent!
Right, judging from the previous situation, she knows whatever I think?
He looked up and saw the girl's face was as dark as a storm cloud.
"To hell with your Sexy Jutsu!!!"
The girl kicked Haruto in the face, and he spun several times like a top before regaining his balance.
"Hmph! How could I have a master like you? As soon as I deactivate my ability, you'll die in less than a second outside this inner world. Do you still have the mood to joke around here?" The girl pointed at Haruto's nose and snapped.
"So what? Just accept life and death!" Haruto said helplessly. "I'm not that special!"
How could he have predicted that the villain would upgrade on the spot? He had been careful enough all this way, and even when delivering the finishing blow, he didn't hesitate. One could only say that all of this was fate! Unless…
"Tell me your name, how about we fight side by side?" Haruto asked with a smile.
"You wish! With your current spiritual pressure, you can't control me at all."
"Then forget it. Life and death are fated; wealth and honor are up to heaven. I'll just restart. If I can transmigrate again, maybe I'll transmigrate to the One Piece world…"
The girl questioned, "Aren't you curious why you came to this world?"
"Not curious."
"Aren't you curious what kind of impact your arrival will have on the world?"
"Not curious."
"You are curious!"
"I'm not curious!"
"You are curious!!!"
"If the purpose of calling me here is just to bicker with me, then send me back. I'm ready to delete my account and restart." Haruto said calmly.
The girl gritted her teeth and clenched her small fists, then coldly said, "Originally, I was thinking of saving your life, but you yourself have given up…"
"I knew you wouldn't give up on me! You truly are my Zanpakutō. Quickly, tell me what method can save my life?" Haruto asked eagerly. He had been waiting for this sentence; he finally got it out of her.
"…" The girl.
The two stared at each other, and in the end, the girl gave in.
"Hmph, let me tell you, I'm not doing this because I'm worried about you. And saving you isn't difficult, but you must give me control of your body." The girl said.
"Okay, no problem, use it as you like!" Haruto was not stingy at all. "Since you're taking over my body, does that mean I can also control your body…?"
"You wish!!! Get lost!!"
…
The people in the cave watched as the Menos Grande, which had evolved into an Adjuchas, brutally ravaged Haruto, trembling with fear and not daring to make a sound. Even this nobleman with a Zanpakutō was beaten so badly; how could they possibly defeat the Menos Grande?
"Shinigami! One last blow to send you on your way!" The Menos Grande clenched its fist, and Cero condensed on it. This Shinigami had completely lost the will to resist. With just a slight movement of its hand, it could take his life. But to get revenge, the Menos Grande decided to make this Shinigami die a more spectacular death!
"Cero!!!"
Crimson light coiled around its arm as it slammed down hard on Haruto's head. The children in the cave had already closed their eyes in fear! Everyone thought the dust had settled!
Suddenly, Haruto abruptly raised the Zanpakutō in his hand, blocking it in front of him like a shield.
"Meaningless struggle!"
The Menos Grande punched the Zanpakutō, and the scattered spiritual pressure incinerated the surrounding earth and trees, raising dust that made it impossible to open one's eyes. Yet, the Menos Grande looked at the Shinigami before it with an expression of extreme terror. This half-dead Shinigami actually easily blocked its Cero with the Zanpakutō in his hand?
Did this Shinigami still have the strength to fight? Was he luring it into a trap just now? Thinking of this, the Menos Grande used Sonido to retreat dozens of meters, carefully observing Haruto.
"Seriously, how did you get your body in such a tattered state?" The girl stood up in a very strange posture, like the nurses from Silent Hill. Of course, it was the Sword Spirit of the Zanpakutō controlling this body now.
"Your spiritual pressure is too weak! It's not enough to let me unleash my full power! I'll only demonstrate it once for you!" The girl raised the sword in her hand, and as spiritual pressure poured in, the blade underwent a mysterious transformation, turning the ordinary Asauchi into pure silver.
"Flashy nonsense! Die!" The Menos Grande unleashed a Cero from mid-air, but the girl merely waved her Zanpakutō and deflected the Cero.
The next second, the girl's body instantly vanished, then reappeared behind the Menos Grande. The Menos Grande couldn't figure out the Shinigami's ability and quickly used Sonido to create distance.
The girl said with a smile, "Don't be so scared, you're already dead!"
