Unfortunately, when Sora approached Ichibe'e, another bolt from the blue struck.
"What!!? You want to leave too, Shutara Senjumaru!!?" Ichibe'e couldn't believe it, he almost lost his composure!
Ichibe'e looked at Sora with deep resentment. Fine, taking Hikifune because she cooked well was one thing, but now he wanted to take Shutara too?
What was the reason for this? Because she made good clothes!!?
But that was a bit outrageous!
Ichibe'e screamed injustice in his heart.
He didn't understand. Did Sora come here to visit, or to shop?
Otherwise, why did he want to take everything he saw?
At this rate, would he, the Monk Who Calls the True Name, be taken away too?
For a moment, Ichibe'e actually felt a bit wronged. It was so hard. He had finally convinced Yamamoto to come as a member, and in return, he was about to lose two members to Sora.
Who could handle this?
For a moment, Ichibe'e looked at Sora with a somewhat resentful expression.
Being looked at like that by the big monk Ichibe'e, frankly speaking, Sora also felt a bit uncomfortable.
After all, Ichibe'e's image was that of a big bald monk with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a big beard.
And he was also fat, very round.
For such a big monk to give such a resentful look was like Zhang Fei saying 'darling'!
However, Sora understood why Ichibe'e had this attitude.
In the end, wasn't it because of him?
Seeing this, Sora quickly said: "Alright, alright, Ichibe'e, stop looking at me like that. It's creepy!"
"I know what you're thinking. I promise you, just these two, okay!" Sora held up two fingers: "I'm a man of my word. Two is two!"
Hearing Sora's words, Ichibe'e's eyes lit up: "Really?"
"Really!" Sora nodded: "A gentleman's word is his bond!"
"Great!" Ichibe'e finally showed a smile.
Because, to be honest, putting things into perspective, although Shutara and Hikifune were indispensable members of Zero Division, they didn't actually contribute much to Zero Division's combat strength.
Think about it. One was a cook, the other a tailor. Although based on their skills, the combat abilities derived from them were not weak…
But everything had to be compared.
Nimaiya Oetsu forged Zanpakuto… he possessed the sharpest Zanpakuto in the world, and the other Zanpakuto in his palace could also become his combat strength.
As for Kirinji Tenjiro, even more so. Don't be fooled because he was a healer… while healers save lives, they also naturally understand how to kill.
This was just like Unohana: with a sword, she was the First Kenpachi, and without the sword, she was the Captain of the 4th Division.
As for the last one, himself, Ichibe'e, the Monk Who Calls the True Name, there was no need to elaborate.
He was the actual guarantee of Zero Division's immortality. Without him, Zero Division would still be immortal, but resurrection took time.
Given that time, everyone else would have been killed, and the Soul King would be gone too.
Only he, Ichibe'e, could be resurrected instantly by calling his true name. Such an ability was incomprehensible.
Therefore, the Monk Who Calls the True Name was the most important.
But compared to these three, it was understandable that Shutara and Hikifune were somewhat less essential.
As long as Sora didn't take the others, Ichibe'e could accept it.
Now, Ichibe'e looked at Sora with a smile.
However, looking at Ichibe'e, Shutara felt unhappy.
Women were like that.
You couldn't overlook them, but being ignored was even more unacceptable for them.
What did he mean? She said she was leaving, and he didn't try to stop her at all. Instead, he used her as a bargaining chip to ensure the others stayed!
Didn't that imply that she was weak?
Looking at Ichibe'e, Shutara's eyes clearly conveyed this thought.
Seeing this, Ichibe'e felt a bit awkward. He turned his head away, pretending not to see.
This made Shutara even more restless!
"Hey, Ichibe'e, you damn monk, what do you mean by that!!?" Shutara pressed relentlessly.
As she spoke, Shutara stepped forward and grabbed Ichibe'e: "What, are you looking down on us?"
"Hahaha, no, no!" Grabbed by Shutara, Ichibe'e cursed inwardly.
'Damn it. First, they wanted to leave, and now they were complaining I wasn't stopping them. What was going on?'
'So if I don't stop you, you're not happy?'
But of course, he couldn't say that to her face.
"Isn't this because I'm happy you've found a better place?" Ichibe'e said.
"Me not stopping you is just hoping for the best for you!"
