Hearing Lin Xuan's words, Yamamoto and the others frowned.
Reinforcements?
What they didn't expect was Lin Xuan summoning a group of identical white figures—each one looking exactly the same, very strange.
But they didn't sense much power from them.
Before they could get a clear look, dust wrapped around each figure, forming large cocoons.
Everyone frowned at the cocoons. An uneasy premonition settled over the field.
"What is this? What is he trying to do?" Soi Fon said, brow furrowed.
"I noticed—all those white figures looked identical before the cocoons formed," Izuru Kira said grimly beside her.
Were these the reinforcements the Ryōka had mentioned?
Even Yamamoto studied them for a long time and couldn't identify what they were.
It wasn't just the captains—Ichigo, Yoruichi, Kūkaku, and the others were equally baffled. Only Lin Xuan knew what was happening.
Except Lin Xuan, probably only Rukia Kuchiki understood he was summoning people from another world.
Seeing everyone's confusion, Lin Xuan laughed. "Almost forgot!"
He activated his telepathy again, covering the entire Seireitei and Rukongai—and opened a broadcast visible to everyone.
Ding—Congratulations, Host. Prestige +9999!
Ding—Congratulations, Host. Prestige +9999!
Ding—Congratulations, Host. Prestige +9999!
Watching the system notifications roll in, Lin Xuan's mouth curved up.
Now that was the familiar taste.
Prestige increased because across the Soul Society, many people stared at the strange screen appearing in their vision again, dumbfounded.
Why was this thing back?
The captains' faces changed too. The screen showed the execution ground. Soi Fon shouted, "So it was you!"
Shinigami throughout the Seireitei, hearing commotion at the execution ground, had already been rushing over.
Now through the broadcast they saw something had gone wrong at the execution site—and they moved even faster.
Captains like Kenpachi Zaraki, Retsu Unohana, and Mayuri Kurotsuchi, stationed around the Seireitei, also raced toward the execution ground.
Yoruichi and Kūkaku behind Lin Xuan were completely lost—they had no idea what Lin Xuan was trying to accomplish.
Ichigo, though, was fascinated by the screen in his vision. Learning it was Lin Xuan's doing made him even more curious.
It was like live streaming in the living world—he had no idea how Lin Xuan pulled it off, but it was undeniably cool.
If possible, he really wanted Lin Xuan to teach him that trick.
For now, he was more eager to test himself against the captains—to see how strong he'd become after Lin Xuan's training.
Lin Xuan smiled. "A bunch of White Zetsu and a broadcast screen have you this shocked? Heh—the best is still coming."
But first, he opened a live stream in the Cross-Dimensional Chat Group—and had Hiruzen Sarutobi and others in the One Piece world use the God Tree to broadcast worldwide.
The One Piece world shook.
Of course, what they cared about most was where Lin Xuan was now.
From the broadcast, it clearly wasn't their world—and looked different from the last stream too.
None of that mattered.
Last time it was Lin Xuan versus Frieza. They'd been left wanting more. After waiting so long, Guild Master Lin was finally moving again.
They couldn't wait to see what spectacular battle he'd bring them this time.
Meanwhile, Yamamoto and the others grew alert. They sensed Lin Xuan was about to do something major.
Finally, the cocoons began to crack.
Here they come!
Everyone's face changed. They entered full combat readiness.
Yamamoto recovered first and shouted, "Whatever he's planning—we stop him now. Attack!"
At his command, the captains snapped back to focus.
Soi Fon was first—she charged toward the nearest cocoon and unleashed a fierce strike.
Lin Xuan didn't move, letting her attack hit the cocoon.
Boom!
Before the strike landed, every cocoon shattered at once. Figures emerged across the field.
From the cocoon before Soi Fon—a young man with a swirled nose and crimson eyes. Itachi Uchiha Shisui.
As Soi Fon's attack fell, Shisui vanished and reappeared behind her, drawing the blade on his back and slashing down.
Boom!
Soi Fon reacted fast, drawing her Zanpakutō to block—but the force still sent her flying.
