I thought that one always communicates with the sword until they can manage to manifest it outside of one's inner world, they perform some test to prove their worthiness. The communication is called Jinzen. Jinzen also requires a calm, meditive state, which I'm more than certain Kenpachi can't manage. Afterwards, they would need to train to control the power gained after the initial test.
