From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 436: Bane's first captain's meeting.

A few days ago, after discussing with Yamamoto Genryusai, he decided to take the position of captain of the 9th squad.

But the follow-up procedures and arrangements have been going on, and Ben has not received any notifications in the past few days.

Until this morning, when Ben was having breakfast with Sister Hua, two guests came to the yard.

"Master Lingzun, my name is Okiya Genshiro, formerly the third seat of the First Squad. Under the order of the captain-in-chief, I am appointed as the deputy captain of the Ninth Squad. From now on, I will do my best to serve you." Okiya Genshiro knelt on one knee in front of Ben and said in a deep voice.

Okiga Genshiro is a middle-aged man with a resolute and majestic face, a burly figure and a serious expression.

Bane had discussed it with Yamamoto Genryusai, so he naturally knew that the old man would send someone from the First Division to help.

But I really didn't expect that the person who came was Okiga Genshiro.

There are two veterans in the First Team. One is Chojiro Suzuki, who joined Yamamoto Genryusai when he was still running a private school. For more than a thousand years, he has been following and assisting him.

He is also very powerful. As early as when he joined Yamamoto Genryusai, he had already mastered the power of Bankai, and the Zanpakutō in his hand, Yanlingmaru, is known as the strongest in the lightning department.

However, Bane had never seen him use the power of Bankai. Even when the Indestructible King caused chaos in Soul Society, he just quietly guarded the 1st Squadron's barracks and did not take any action.

Judging from the conversations between Bane, Sister Hua, and Shutra Senjumaru, the two veterans had also only heard that Chojiro Suzuki had mastered a very powerful Bankai, but had never seen it.

In a way, this also indirectly proves how powerful Yamamoto Genryusai is. To be his vice-captain, you don't need to have strong abilities, you just need to be able to assist him in completing daily affairs.

Things like chopping people down can be handled by Yamamoto Genryusai alone.

Apart from Chojiro Suzuki, another veteran is Genshiro Okiga.

He is not like Chojiro Suzuki, who had followed Yamamoto Genryusai more than a thousand years ago, but he also followed Yamamoto Genryusai at the beginning of the formation of the Gotei 13, and he is one of the few people who have experienced the first generation period.

And as the third person in the first team, he is also very powerful and undoubtedly has mastered Bankai.

Although Bane was somewhat curious about this guy's Bankai, he did not ask anything. The more people who knew about Bankai, the bigger the flaws would be. Asking this was as rude as asking someone what kind of underwear they liked to wear.

Even though Bane was his superior, there was no need to ask clearly.

"The captain told me that he would send a capable person to help me form the 9th squad, but I never thought that he would give me such a talent as Mr. Genshiro. This really makes me excited and happy." Ben laughed and said, "Please give me more guidance in the future, Mr. Genshiro."

"Lord Bann, you are too polite. Just call me Genshiro." Okiya Genshiro felt a little relieved and said with a smile.

In addition to Okiga Genshiro, another person was kneeling on one knee in front of Sister Hua, and said very respectfully: "I am Yamada Seinosuke, appointed by the Gotei 13 as the vice-captain of the 4th Division, and I have come to report to you, Captain Unohana."

"Yamada Seinosuke." Sister Hua nodded, and then said, "I've heard of you. More than ten years ago, you were the head of the Shinō Academy of Spiritual Arts. You were invited to join the 4th Division but refused. In the end, you did not join the Gotei 13, but went to Rukongai to open a clinic."

"Yes." Yamada Seinosuke nodded and said, "I come from the lower noble Yamada family, but I don't like the nobles, especially the Tsunayashiro family. I rejected the invitation because of Tsunayashiro who belonged to the 4th Division."

Bane was listening to this and felt a little emotional.

He didn't know that Yamada Seinosuke had such an experience, but he remembered that in the original story, Yamada Seinosuke still joined the Fourth Division and served as the vice-captain of Sister Hua, but after a while, he was "poached" by the Tsunayashiro family and finally became the general representative of Mao Sha Yakuin in the aristocratic district.

Maou Shayakuin is the highest-level medical clinic in the aristocratic district, and the general manager is also the dean.

A person who was unwilling to join forces with the Tsunayashiro family eventually became a pawn of the Tsunayashiro family. His experience here is probably very complicated.

"How is your Kaido level?" Sister Hua obviously didn't care about what happened between Tsunayashiro and the nobles, and asked this question directly.

Yamada Seinosuke was silent for a moment, then said, "I think it's OK."

"If you think you are okay, then you are the best." Sister Hua nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."

"Yes, I will do my best!" Yamada Seinosuke said immediately.

After he finished speaking, Okiga Genshiro said softly, "Master Lingzun, Captain Unohana, the captain-general has convened a captain's court meeting in the headquarters."

Unohana Yachiru nodded, and then said to Ben: "Let's go, I guess it's about us being the captains, we need to make a formal appearance."

It was also Ben's first time to attend a captain's meeting. He was very interested and followed Sister Hua to the headquarters dormitory.

Yamada Seinosuke and Okiga Genshiro followed behind the two of them, acting like vice-captains.

It didn't take long for Ben and Sister Hua to arrive at the headquarters, and at the door they met Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro who were also there to attend the captain's meeting.

After a few days of rest, Kyoraku Shunsui was no longer as miserable as he was with a bruised face and nose, but he still almost shivered after seeing Sister Hua.

"Unohana-senpai." Ukitake Jushiro said with a nervous smile on his face.

Jingle Shunsui didn't even dare to look at him, and immediately said to Ben, "Master Lingzun, it's been a long time since I last greeted you."

Sister Hua's expression and temperament seemed very gentle and kind at the moment. She smiled and greeted the two of them, saying, "I haven't seen you for a few days. How are you two doing?"

Ukitake Jushiro quickly said, "Thanks to Unohana-senpai's help, Shunsui and I are safe now."

"That's good." Sister Hua still spoke in a gentle tone, "If you feel unwell in the future, I'll be in the Fourth Squad. You can come see me anytime."

"Of course, of course." Kyoraku Shunsui immediately nodded in response.

At the same time, he and Ukitake Jushiro both felt very strange. Isn't the change in Unohana Yachiryu's temperament too smooth? When she was causing trouble for them a few days ago, she was like an evil ghost, but now she is like a gentle big sister. Sure enough, she is not on the same level as them!

Several people chatted and laughed as they walked into the court meeting hall. At this moment, many captains were already in place. Bane was a little surprised when he saw the captains he knew, such as Shudorashi Senjumaru, sitting in their chairs with the vice-captains standing behind them.

If I remember correctly, during this kind of court discussion, everyone usually stands together, right?

Yamamoto Genryusai stood in the middle, and the other captains stood on the left and right respectively?
Why are they still sitting there? There is even a small tea table next to it, so that every captain can drink tea while sitting there.

Could it be that the atmosphere within the Gotei 13 during this period was more easy-going?
Thinking of this, Ben glanced at Sister Hua, Ukitake Jushiro and others, only to find that there was some surprise on their faces as well.

Apparently, they didn't expect that the court meeting would now be equipped with chairs and tea tables! ?

"It seems that the atmosphere in the team has changed a little during the short time I was away." Unohana Yachiru said softly after he came to his senses.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Shudorashi Senjumaru sitting on the chair, holding the teacup with his skeleton arm and drinking a sip of tea happily. He said, "No, no, no, this is a change that happened today. If I have to say, it's all thanks to Bane. I don't have to stand here like a stick anymore."

"Me?" Bane was stunned for a moment, his expression a little surprised.

But the other captains all showed a look of realization when they heard this.

They didn't have much contact with Bane. At most, they would occasionally go to the Maou Spiritual Academy to take classes and listen to the so-called new ghost way.

But everyone knows that the "Spirit Master" is of extraordinary significance in Soul Society. Although he is not a noble, he is vaguely higher than a noble. Even the heads of the four noble families are very respectful when they see him.

Captain-general Yamamoto Genryusai always treated Lingzun with courtesy and never offended him.

Now that this spiritual master has been invited to join the Gotei 13, he should logically become a subordinate of Yamamoto Genryusai, so it is only natural for him to stand here and obey.

But Yamamoto Genryusai was able to pay attention to such details and even changed the meeting format just for Lingzun.

After all, he couldn't possibly arrange a seat for Ling Zun alone. It would seem too deliberate to let this big man sit while the others stood during the meeting.

So he directly arranged a seat for each captain, so that everyone could hold meetings while sitting. Although in essence, the Ninth Division was still under the management of the headquarters, that is, the First Division, the distinction between superiors and subordinates, at least in etiquette, was not too prominent.

From this we can also see that Yamamoto Genryusai cares very much about and respects Bane's face.

After figuring this out, Bane gave a thumbs up to Yamamoto Genryusai in his heart. Sometimes, good impressions are accumulated from such details. Bane already had a good impression of Yamamoto Genryusai, and now he thinks that he knows how to behave.

Who says old men are stubborn and rigid and can’t adapt?

Now it seems that the old man is discriminating against people. To those who are qualified, he is not stubborn at all.

Bane followed the chair of the 9th Division and sat there with a smile, right next to Shudorashi Senjumaru, the captain of the 10th Division. Then Okiga Genshiro stood behind Bane obediently.

"Go away, your 4th Division is on the opposite side, don't stand on our side." After seeing Bane sit down, Shutra Senjumaru said to Unohana Yachiru with a look of disgust.

At the same time, she had two skeleton arms waving around, as if she was trying to drive someone away.

Sister Hua looked at this scene, the corners of her smiling mouth twitched slightly, and her temperament became a little disordered.

Seeing this, Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro on the side immediately acted as if nothing had happened. Without saying a word, they each went to their seats and sat down quickly, looking at their noses and their hearts, as if they had sunk into their inner world in an instant, no longer paying any attention to the outside world.

"Oh?" A surprised voice came from behind, and then Hikifune Kiryu walked in and said, "What's going on today? Can we still sit down for a meeting? Eh? Unohana-senpai, what are you doing standing here? Sit down quickly."

It was not known whether Hikifune Kiryu was pretending to be stupid or was really that honest. Anyway, he started to make a lot of noise as soon as he came up, and then naturally pulled Sister Hua to sit down.

Sister Hua, who originally wanted to lose her temper, finally swallowed her anger.

"Would you like some melon seeds?" Shudorashi Senjumaru took out a handful of melon seeds from somewhere and asked Bane in front of him.

The corners of Bane's mouth twitched twice. You are drinking tea and eating melon seeds. Are you going to bring out a plate of dessert later?

Are you here for a court meeting or a tea party?

"No, thank you. I'm just feeling irritated lately." Bane refused with a very serious expression.

Yamamoto Genryusai has given him so much face and respect, it would be too much for him to eat melon seeds here with Shutara Senjumaru.

"Boring." Shudorashi Senjumaru curled his lips.

Ignoring this psychopath, Bane was also observing the other captains.

The captain of the third squad has been replaced. An old man is said to be named Izumi Katsukinji. He was originally the fourth seat under Yamamoto Genryusai.

The captain of the 11th Division always looked at Sister Hua, who was sitting in the captain's seat of the 4th Division, with respect. He was obviously an old subordinate of Sister Hua. What was his name? Kai Kojiro, should he be called 'Kai Kenpachi' now?
Just as Bane was thinking about this, Yamamoto Genryusai, wearing the captain's haori, walked out from behind the screen, and everyone immediately fell silent.

"Can you please stop eating melon seeds?"

In the silence, the sound of Shutra Senjumaru cracking melon seeds, which was originally not obvious, suddenly seemed strange and prominent, making Bane couldn't help but complain.

Upon hearing this, Shudorashi Senjumaru was a little unhappy and took all the melon seeds from the skeleton's arm, muttering, "Hmph, boring man."

As Yamamoto Genryusai walked towards his seat, he was thinking in his heart, what method should he use to send this guy Shutara Senjumaru into the Soul King Palace completely?

If this guy stays outside, sooner or later he'll get mad and become sick, right?
