Bleach: Watch Closely, This Is How You Use a Zanpakutō novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98 - 98: Combat Division

The forest was silent, save for the gentle rustling of leaves in the wind.

A towering figure leaned against a tree, remaining motionless for a long time before finally straightening up and stepping to the edge of the cliff.

He had a rough, menacing appearance—massive in stature, clad in a white haori emblazoned with the kanji for "Eleven," and sporting two metal lip piercings that jutted from his mouth like the fangs of a ravenous demon from Hell.

And yet, this very man was the captain of the 11th Division of the Gotei 13.

Beneath the dense canopy of the forest, a dozen figures dressed in black Shihakushō stood at the ready, their gazes wary, each one armed with a sword at their waist.

Kenpachi Kiganjō curled his lips into a sneer.

"The 2nd and 3rd Divisions were attacked at the same time? What's this? The Gotei 13, the so-called guardians of Seireitei, can't even protect themselves?"

"And this is the force that maintains order in Soul Society? Ha! You're nothing but lapdogs groveling at the feet of the aristocracy. What a joke!"

The members of the 11th Division turned pale with anger, fists clenched, but none dared to refute his taunts.

"Captain, there are no reports of an attack on the Nest of Maggots. Should we move to assist elsewhere?" one of the squad members asked with a slight bow.

Kenpachi Kiganjō cast him a sideways glance.

"Since when do I need you to tell me what to do?"

"But Central 46 has ordered us to provide support. If we disobey, we'll be punished, won't we?"

Maki Ichinose, a member of the 11th Division, voiced his concern, his eyes still brimming with admiration as he looked at Kiganjō.

Seeing this little admirer of his, Kiganjō showed rare patience.

He leaned forward slightly, as if about to place a reassuring hand on Ichinose's shoulder.

Ichinose stiffened, uneasy.

But Kiganjō hesitated for a brief moment. Instead of touching his shoulder, his hand moved downward—resting firmly on the hilt of his Zanpakutō.

Then, with his other hand, he lightly patted Ichinose's cheek, his grin widening.

"Ichinose, my apologies. This time, I don't have the patience to answer your questions."

From deep within the forest, the sickening sound of flesh being torn apart echoed. _{f\r(e)ewe.b no\vel.com}
