Reborn with Steve Stand

Chapter 197: Steve



Chapter 197: Steve

"I'm asking you the name of my Zanpakut."

Hearing Fang Mo's words, Tosen Kaname felt his hand holding the hilt of the sword slightly trembling. "I don't want to hear you insulting me. If you really enjoy humiliating me, then I"

"No, you're misunderstanding."

Fang Mo waved his hand, "I didn't mean to insult you. The name of your sword is now those three characters."

""

Tosen Kaname remained silent.

After a long while, he finally couldn't help but ask, "How did you manage to do that?"

"It's just a simple name change."

Fang Mo said curiously, "Is it that hard? Something even the Zero Division can do why do you think I can't?"

"Change the name of my Zanpakut back immediately," Tosen Kaname said straight away.

Joking aside, if he lost his Zanpakut, would Aizen even want him as a subordinate? Moreover, the sword holds special significance for Tosen Kaname. It was an heirloom of a close female friend who was brutally killed because she accused her husband of murdering a colleague. The internal handling of the matter in the Seireitei greatly dissatisfied him, all because the killer was a noble, so the matter was left unsettled.

For this reason, Tosen Kaname felt that justice needed to be vocalized, so he picked up his friend's heirloom, infused it with his own power, and entered Seireitei intending to make changes.

Unfortunately, the Seireitei was already rotten to the core. He found that no matter how hard he tried, it was useless. Hence, he decided to follow Aizen to create a new world, to bring justice to everyone by his own hands. For this goal, he could give up his life, dignity, and everything else but this sword.

Because it was his only obsession.

Yet, such stubbornness was outright denied by Fang Mo.

"Sorry, I can't."

"Why?" Hearing this, Tosen Kaname became anxious. "If you can change the name of my Zanpakut, then you can definitely change it back. I"

"It really can't be done for now."

Before Tosen Kaname could finish, Fang Mo directly interrupted him.

He didn't lie; after all, he only brought one naming tag. He had a bunch in a box, but he'd have to return to the MC world to get them.

Anyway, based on how the Book of Ages behaves, by the time Fang Mo gets another naming tag, Ichigo Kurosaki would probably have already cleared Seireitei.

"What are you trying to do!"

Hearing that his Zanpakut could not be restored, Tosen Kaname was somewhat on edge, almost gritting his teeth as he asked.

"What do I want to do?"

Fang Mo tilted his head, looked at the angry Tosen Kaname and said cheerfully, "I want to be friends with you, Captain Tosen."

"I will not be friends with a Ryoka!"

Tosen Kaname yelled.

"No, you will."

Fang Mo smiled, then turned his head to look at Komamura Sajin.

The latter nodded, understanding, and turned to walk in a direction.

After all, a captain-level battle had just taken place here, and someone would soon arrive, so the priority was to find a quiet place where both could sit down and talk.

Relying on Komamura Sajin, the two quickly arrived in a secluded cave.

"This is where I usually walk my pet dog."

Komamura Sajin said, "The area is very remote. As long as you and Tosen don't suddenly burst out with spiritual pressure, you should not be discovered by others."

"..."

Fang Mo silently glanced at Komamura Sajin.

Walking the dog like this isn't bad, and it reminds him of Nick Fury far away in the Marvel universe, who also performed a good show of horse riding.

But speaking of which...

Is Nick Fury still in the void?

However, he's already a mature S.H.I.E.L.D. Director, surely capable of building his own spaceship to return to Earth. If not, he can still contact Captain Marvel, so there's no need to worry about him.

Shaking his head, Fang Mo stopped thinking about his other black friend.

Instead, he focused all his attention on Tosen Kaname.

"Captain Tosen," said Fang Mo, controlling Steve to place a stone and some wooden stairs on the ground as a table and chair. "What do you think is justice?"

"Justice?"

Hearing this topic, Tosen Kaname immediately became enthusiastic and spoke without hesitation: "Justice is, of course, to judge those evil things. Justice should not be interfered with by any external factors. Fairness is the greatest justice."

"Oh?"

Fang Mo was originally trying to trick Tosen Kaname, and seeing the latter take the bait, he showed a faint smile. "Care to elaborate?"

"Take you, for instance, a Ryoka!"

Tosen Kaname had no good feelings for Fang Mo and said coldly: "You trespassed into Jing Ling Ting without permission, you are a Ryoka who should be judged. Even if you're a friend of Komamura Sajin, I won't show you mercy."

"Great! Excellent!"

Fang Mo suddenly exclaimed with approval: "Exactly, this is an impartial act of justice! Justice will prevail!"

"?"

This sudden turn of events left Tosen Kaname baffled.

Before he could think of what to say, Fang Mo began speaking again.

"I have seen too many tragedies in this world, too many justices that could not speak up due to the corruption of power," said Fang Mo, sounding righteous. "I didn't expect you to be such a righteous person, even if your skin is so dark... cough cough, your heart is as white as snow. You're worthy of being Komamura Sajin's friend. I, Fang Mo, recognize you."

"I don't think being recognized by a Ryoka is anything to be proud of," Tosen Kaname said coldly.

Although it seemed like Fang Mo was praising him, Tosen Kaname felt uncomfortable. Naturally, he wouldn't show Fang Mo a good face.

"I can tell you must have a painful memory," Fang Mo said deliberately. "The strongest will often is born from the most painful past. I know a boy named Li An Ping. Want to hear his story?"

"Once there was a boy who was naturally kind and simple. When he saw injustice on the road, he drew his sword to help. But unfortunately, the wicked person was a powerful noble, manipulating public opinion..."

Before Tosen Kaname could say anything, Fang Mo continued: "Initially, he just wanted to save the girl, but she was bribed by the noble to accuse him of being the villain, leading him to be paralyzed and constantly blamed, with his family cruelly murdered one after another. Yet the real evil person roamed free due to his noble status. At that moment, all the warmth he had felt, his conscience, his kindness, and all his thoughts collapsed, leaving only the word 'revenge' in his heart."

""

Hearing the word 'noble,' Tosen Kaname clenched his fists.

"Captain Tosen," seeing Tosen Kaname becoming agitated, Fang Mo felt relieved and said with a smile, "You wouldn't want this to happen in the Soul Society, would you?"

"I"

Tosen Kaname took a deep breath, "If something like this happened around me, I would personally judge that criminal!"

"Even if he's a noble?"

Fang Mo asked cheerfully, "You, a mere commoner, dare to lay a hand on a noble?"

"There's no difference between nobles and commoners in my eyes!" Tosen Kaname couldn't help but say, "No matter the status, anyone who commits a wrong should be judged. Fairness is the greatest justice!"

"If you keep this up, I'm afraid I might not be able to hold back and take you to the world of One Piece to become a Marine Admiral," Fang Mo said, unable to refrain from making a sarcastic comment. "Akainu, Kizaru, Aokiji, Kurokiji, the four Marine Admirals, fighting against the Four Emperors with the Cotton-Cotton Fruit, even Red Hair would have to give you face."

"You"

Although Tosen Kaname was a weak antagonist, he wasn't stupid. Hearing Fang Mo's words, he frowned slightly: "I see, you're not a Ryoka from this world"

"Let me reintroduce myself," Fang Mo had no intention of hiding anything and said directly, "I, Fang Mo, am an otherworldly demon lord here just for fun. I am the Lord of the Square Dimension. My world is much larger than your Soul Society. So, the term 'Ryoka' doesn't really suit me. If I have to say, my relationship with you guys is ah, diplomacy."

"Then you should go directly to General Yamamoto instead of hiding here trying to bewitch me," Tosen Kaname said.

"Have you ever thought why am I bewitching you instead of someone else?" Fang Mo countered, "If it's about strength, wouldn't it be better to bewitch Zaraki Kenpachi?"

"Zaraki Kenpachi is just a wild beast raised by the Soul Society, a man who doesn't even know Shikai or Bankai. I would never allow someone like that to be a captain," said Tosen. "This beast will bring disaster to the Soul Society sooner or later. Don't compare me to him."

"You..."

Upon hearing this, Fang Mo couldn't help but facepalm, "Big brother, do you even realize that you almost got killed by Kenpachi in the original story?"

"Nonsense, I've never fought him!"

Tohsen snorted coldly.

"Alright, alright."

Fang Mo waved his hand, not wanting to argue any further, "Let's not talk about Kenpachi, let's switch to someone else. If I really wanted to deceive someone, then... why wouldn't it be Aizen?"

"!?"

Hearing the name Aizen, Tosen's face changed dramatically.

"You..."

Tosen's demeanor suddenly changed. He unconsciously gripped the hilt of his Zanpakuto, a chilling killing intent slowly emanating from him, "It seems you already know everything."

"No, big brother, what's with that murderous look?"

Seeing Tosen's change, Fang Mo couldn't help but laugh, "Your Zanpakuto can't even be released right now. How are you going to kill me? If you really want to kill me, you should at least say the release command first, right?"

"But I'd advise you to think carefully before taking any action."

"If you dare to curse at me, I assure you'll see what true hell is like."
