Chapter 412: Turning Into a Monkey Is One Thing…
Gin Ichimaru and Tōshirō Hitsugaya gripped their blades tightly, eyes fixed with tense focus on the two creatures before them—beings that resembled Hollows yet were clearly something else entirely.
An unsettling aura radiated from the pair, pressing down on them with an invisible weight.
"...So it’s you? Masatsuki Aozaki’s subordinates? Or just the 11th Division in general? Perfect—two of the things I hate most, all in one place."
The creature’s voice dripped with disdain and provocation.
It was humanoid in shape, bald, seemingly clad in a tight-fitting white suit. A circular ring extended from its back, and a long tail dragged across the ground. Its appearance was bizarre and unsettling—like a larger, all-white version of Frieza from Dragon Ball.
Hearing his words, Gin and Hitsugaya both felt a wave of exasperation.
Opening with a question about whether they served Masatsuki? That guy must be stirring up trouble again.
"I am Oswell. This is Ishudal. We are vassals of His Majesty Baraggan."
As the two captains processed the situation, a dark figure beside Ishudal gave a polite bow and introduced himself calmly.
Gin was taken aback by the courtesy.
He had expected vicious, mindless monsters. He hadn’t anticipated an enemy that actually understood etiquette. It made the situation even more intriguing—and more dangerous.
The name "Ishudal" also rang a bell. It felt oddly familiar, like something from a report or record.
