From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 409 The filth and confrontation between Yamamoto Genryusai and the four great nobles!

Yamamoto Genryusai was an old and experienced man. How could he not guess what these cunning nobles were thinking?

But he also had his own considerations.

The man in front of me is more than just a man with strong spiritual pressure!
You know, over at the Soul King Palace, the communication from the Zero Squad mistook it for the Soul King's remains!

When they first met in the human world, Yamamoto Genryusai thought that the Soul King Palace had made a mistake, but when he stepped into the Pure Land, Yamamoto Genryusai immediately understood that the Soul King Palace had indeed made a mistake, but not completely wrong!

The man in front of him was definitely not the remains of a Spirit King, but at the same time, he possessed certain authority similar to that of a Spirit King.

The most direct thing is that he controls a vast realm of the dead that is composed purely of spirit particles, just like the most primitive Soul Society millions of years ago!
This is what he called the 'Pure Land'!
And from the current perspective, this pure land may not be comparable to the Soul Society, but it does have the function of allowing lost souls to return here to rest forever.

Yamamoto Genryusai had no choice but to take this seriously.

Other captains might not know what the Soul King's situation is, and the members of the four great noble families of this era might also be kept in the dark, but as the captain-general of the Gotei 13 and one of the top bosses in Soul Society, how could he not know?
The Spirit King was sealed in the Spirit King Palace, becoming a wedge to stabilize the three realms.

Since the Soul King was sealed, there has been a hidden danger that has continued to this day: what if the Soul King is gone? Will the world be destroyed because of this?
Although there have been many plans and candidates over the countless years, it seems that they can replace the Spirit King in this situation of extreme changes.

But that's just theory, it has never been truly verified!

Compared to him, the man in front of him controls a 'Soul Society' that can exist independently even without the help of the Soul King!

What does this mean? This means that if there is any problem with the Soul King, let alone Hueco Mundo and the real world, at least the Shinigami in Soul Society will have a place to escape. This is a great rear base!
And this so-called "Pure Land" seems to be connected to the three worlds of this world.

This also means that even if there is a problem with the Soul King, the Shinigami of Soul Society will have no problem finding a place to display their skills if they all flee here!
As for Hueco Mundo?

If Hueco Mundo is gone, it's gone. That's such a great thing!
On normal days, you might still be concerned about balance, but if the real world is destroyed and Soul Society is finished, it would be best if Hueco Mundo also dies!

And it would be best if it were a death that would leave you with no hope of reincarnation!

From this perspective, the man in front of us has extremely important strategic value and united front value!
This is from the perspective of the fundamental interests of Soul Society, but apart from this perspective, in terms of strength alone, the man in front of him definitely has enough qualifications for him, the captain-general, to show goodwill.

Leaving aside spiritual pressure, as the strongest Shinigami who has swept across Soul Society in the past few hundred years, Yamamoto Genryusai has met people with stronger spiritual pressure than him, but in the end, the one who took the title of the strongest was him, Yamamoto Genryusai.

Therefore, his spiritual pressure can only be used as a reference.

What Yamamoto Genryusai cared more about was that the man opposite him had not drawn his sword yet!

Even he, the captain, had just used Ryujin Jakka, but the man in front of him, who was carrying a Azure Dragon sword that looked very powerful, had never used it from beginning to end!

He only used his fists and some ghost-like spells to suppress Unohana Yachiryu and even sealed him directly.

How powerful would the opponent be if he drew his sword?
People have inertial thinking. This is true even for Yamamoto Genryusai, the strongest god of death. He subconsciously believes that only by drawing the sword at his waist can he truly unleash his full strength.

I never thought about it. Maybe the knife on Bane didn't increase his strength at all, at least at this moment.

In short, whether from the perspective of strength or value, the person in front of us has extraordinary significance in winning over.

Thinking of this, Yamamoto Genryusai's originally solemn expression gradually dissipated, and he looked at Ben and said, "From what you said before, it seems that you have some understanding of our Soul Society? Have you ever been there?"

In fact, this question is very strange to Yamamoto Genryusai. As a big boss of Soul Society, he has never heard of Pure Land, but this Pure Land spirit has heard of Soul Society? This may also represent some special meaning.

However, this was only the first time the two parties had met, and Yamamoto Genryusai was not someone who did not know the seriousness of the matter. It was impossible for him to get to the bottom of the matter here, so he chose to ignore this doubt.

Ben grinned and said, "I haven't been there, but I have heard of it."

"Really?" Yamamoto Genryusai nodded gently, glanced at the four captains around him, and then said: "Your Excellency is of noble status and is the master of a world. Although my words are a bit presumptuous, I would like to invite you to visit on behalf of Soul Society. I hope that we can build a good relationship after resolving this misunderstanding."

The man in front of me has strong united front value, but this piece of pure land must not be easily divided up by those nobles!

Struggle is everywhere. Yamamoto Genryusai holds a high position of power, being the captain-general of the Gotei 13, but he is by no means completely consistent with the Soul Society's noble class. On the contrary, he has always hoped to suppress the power of the nobles and make the Gotei 13 more independent and autonomous, rather than relying on the nobles for their existence.

In fact, Yamamoto Genryusai also made some progress in the later period. Now, the four great nobles alone each control a squadron, but later, of the four great nobles, only the Kuchiki family and the Shihouin family still have a foothold in the Gotei 13.

The Tenseiin and Tsunayashiro families were basically ruled out.

The Kuchiki family is the leader of the four great noble families, and they are a rare family that maintains the noble character of aristocrats from the inside out. Although they are aloof and unpopular, they abide by the rules in everything they do. They are not the kind of nobles who say one thing in public and another in private, and who are shady and despicable.

Moreover, they had no intention of gaining more power over the Gotei 13, and eventually became representatives of the aristocratic class and integrated into the Gotei 13.

As for the Shihouin family, due to historical and other reasons, their clan possesses extremely powerful weapons, spiritual equipment, and sacred artifacts. Long before the establishment of the Gotei 13, they already had a mature assassination force as a force, which is today's secret mobile force.

Therefore, the Shihōin family and the Gotei 13 need each other.

In comparison, the Tsunayashiro and Tenshoin families were gradually eliminated by Yamamoto Genryusai.

There is no doubt that this struggle is complicated and long, and it is by no means supported solely by force. In terms of strength, Yamamoto Genryusai can beat a group of them alone, but in other aspects, Yamamoto Genryusai is far behind.

The four great noble families have existed since the Spirit King era and have a long history. Except for the decline of the Shiba clan, which was once a great noble family, the influence of the other noble families in various aspects cannot be easily shaken by him. Even if the Shiba clan declined, it was defeated by the other four great noble families instead of being harmed by outsiders.

Moreover, after they fell, they did not have new strength to become the five nobles of the past, but slowly turned into four nobles. This shows the dominance and oppression of these four nobles!

These dominance and oppression, in the final analysis, are actually caused by a monopoly on resources throughout Soul Society.

For example, the Tsunayashiro family is in charge of the Great Spiritual Book Corridor and can know almost all the information and secrets of the Soul Society. Therefore, their family has a very high public opinion authority in the Soul Society.

And families like the Tenshyouin family control the medical resources of Soul Society. These medical resources do not refer to Kaido or the like. Apart from the Shinigami of the Gotei 13 who can go to the 4th Division for medical treatment, what about the rest of the people in Soul Society?
It's time to see a doctor and do whatever is needed. The vast majority of the medical clinics and related practitioners in Soul Society are from the Tenseiin family.

In addition to medical resources, after the decline of the Shiba clan, the Tenshyouin family and the Kuchiki family monopolized the currency of Soul Society, 'Rings', which originally belonged to the Shiba clan. In other words, the two families can print money directly!

The reason why the Kuchiki family is the leader of the four noble families is, on the one hand, because they have a good family tradition of character and have always been respected, and on the other hand, it is because the Kuchiki family is the largest landlord in Soul Society, and people from all walks of life in Soul Society depend on them for their meals.

As for the Shihouin family, they are known as the 'God-given Weapons'. Not to mention their magical weapons, Nimeiya Oyue in the Soul King Palace claims that all the Asauchi Zanpakuto were made by him, but he has never been seen personally delivering Zanpakuto to the various Shinigami.

In fact, Nimeiya Wangyue can be said to be the 'manufacturer', but the Shifengyuan family is the seller.

All the Zanpakutō were sold by his family to the Gotei 13, and apart from the Zanpakutō, all other kinds of weapons and equipment were produced by the Shihouin family. They are truly the largest arms dealer in Soul Society.

Moreover, the Shifengyuan family is the only family among the four noble families that legally owns its own private army. It has controlled secret mobile forces from generation to generation and is a warlord. Its hard power is definitely ranked first among the four noble families.

After all, the other great nobles control resources, but the Shifengyuan family controls the guns.

How does the saying go? My neighbor stores food and I store guns. My neighbor is my granary!

Even though the Kuchiki family was revered as the leader of the four great noble families, they were unwilling to make enemies with the Shihouin family.

Things like the Great Spiritual Book Corridor, medical resources, ring currency, and big landlords, these can all be robbed, right?
When I take out my gun, you will know how powerful I am!
Under such circumstances, it would certainly be very difficult for Yamamoto Genryusai to fight against the four great nobles.

There is no doubt that Yamamoto Genryusai is very resourceful. He is by no means a simple old man of the martial arts school. Under such circumstances, he used his former private school as a foundation and built the 'Mao Spiritual Academy' in the Seireitei!
He has become an academic tycoon! Through the Shinou Academy, he has greatly expanded his influence and cultivated many foundation members. Almost all the Shinigami from Rukongai came from this academy. This is also one of the fundamental reasons why he can firmly sit in the position of captain-general!

But for Yamamoto Genryusai, this is not enough. If he can join forces with Bane, with the Gotei 13 as the leader, to develop the Pure Land and thereby obtain a large amount of resources, breaking the four great nobles' monopoly over every aspect of Soul Society, it will definitely be an important change that can rewrite the history and structure of Soul Society!
It is impossible for Yamamoto Genryusai to destroy the aristocratic system. Soul Society is a very rigid society. The aristocratic system has lasted for millions of years. Coupled with the unique environment and culture, the entire Soul Society class can be said to be basically solidified.

Even if Yamamoto Genryusai's strength was sky-high, he would not be able to defeat this system.

Therefore, if he wants to change this situation, there are only two ways for him. The first is to create new aristocrats, support new aristocrats, use new aristocrats to break the monopoly of the old aristocrats and great aristocrats, and let the aristocratic class differentiate itself. If one aristocrat controls an industry, it is called a monopoly. If five, six, seven or eight aristocrats are involved in this matter, can it still be called a monopoly?

The second is to make a bigger cake!

But this is difficult to achieve. All the resources that should be allocated in Soul Society have been allocated. Where is the cake left for you to eat?
But now that the Pure Land has appeared, the situation is completely different!

Not only can we create the so-called 'new aristocracy', but we can also make the cake bigger!
