Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

Until the very end, Jijijiba still hadn't revealed his real name, but none of that seemed to matter anymore. From this day forward, his real name would be Gongpilu.

outside world……

The knife containing the characters "已己巳己巴" that the monk had tossed onto the "Medicine Master's Lapis Lazuli Light" suddenly stopped moving, causing the monk's pupils to shrink slightly, and he and the two women beside him, Wang Yue, to exchange a glance.

"What terrifying power! It can unleash such might even without a master; this sword is far more powerful than I imagined..."

The monk stared at the Zanpakuto before him, his forehead covered in sweat.

Suddenly, the monk's heart skipped a beat. What if Araki, after becoming stronger, didn't immediately challenge Yhwach, but instead used the "Yakushi Lapis Lazuli Light" to deliver him from suffering? Should he then convert to Buddhism? Or should he convert to Buddhism?!

Thinking this, the monk thought to himself, "This is bad!"

Then he looked at Wang Yue, who was standing beside him, and said, "Wang Yue, I'm leaving this place to you! I'll take my leave first! If Araki comes out, tell him that I've gone to serve the Spirit King in the inner palace! I don't plan to see anyone for a hundred years, no, a thousand years!"

The fake monk had already disappeared from the spot as he spoke.

"Ah this..."

Wang Yue's eyelids twitched slightly as he watched the fake monk run away. "Seriously, buddy?! You're capable of swindling others, but not of taking responsibility?!"

Just as the fake monk seized the opportunity to escape, a transformation was taking place within Araki's body. As the fake monk had said, the power of the Spirit King could help him reshape the power within his body. With the help of the true 'omniscient and omnipotent' power of the Spirit King, Araki's 'Armament Haki', 'Conqueror's Haki', and spiritual pressure slowly merged together...

Next comes Observation Haki. The three types of Haki endow Araki's spiritual pressure with three characteristics: 'foresight', 'internal destruction', and 'observation killing'. At the same time, it enhances the 'oppression' and 'deterrence' that spiritual pressure originally has on enemies, as well as the ability to enhance 'defense' and 'attack' when wrapped around himself.

"not enough!"

However, the power of the three-color advanced Haki was still not enough to advance Araki's spiritual pressure from level two to level one. The rewards he received after defeating Yhwach, as well as the level two experience pack he received after becoming captain, all turned into power at this moment, helping Araki rush to a higher level.

However, it still has some shortcomings...

At that moment, Araki's Zanpakuto 'Yakushi Ruriko' moved! The power within Mikoto, whom he had subdued, began to flow continuously into Araki!

To be precise, it's now called Gongpilu, which means "very damn!"

However, the efforts of many parties finally paid off. With the combination of 'spiritual pressure', 'experience', and 'domineering aura', and with the help of Yakushi Ruriko who got the wool from Mikoto, Araki's spiritual pressure was finally achieved!

At this moment, the attribute in the Spirit Pressure section of Araki's character panel clearly reads - First-class Spirit Power!

As everyone suggested, we'll minimize the pirate attribute so that the spiritual pressure will have the effects of all three types of Haki! Subduing Mikoto wasn't just a random decision; it was planned from the beginning when we were perfecting my Bankai. Anyway, although it's a little late, it's here! The Zero Division arc is about to end; next up is the Hueco Mundo planning arc! Finally… please give me some votes for all this hard work!

Chapter 53 It's important to me that 'them' aren't here!

I don’t know how long has passed...

After Araki's training was completely finished, he slowly opened his character template.

Devil Fruit Abilities:

The Fruit of Surgery (Awakened)

Experience points: 0

At this moment, the experience points accumulated in Araki's body over several months have been completely cleared, and the three types of Haki have also disappeared. However, Araki knows that he is now stronger than before.

In particular, the words "First Class" displayed on Araki's spiritual pressure indicate that Araki has officially entered the realm of "Supreme Shinigami." It is also worth noting that the panel of Araki's spirit body has been changed, with the words "King's Key" added after his spirit body...

"Tsk~"

Araki frowned slightly as he looked at the prominent characters 'Wang Jian'.

Just as the monk had told Araki before, even in the worst-case scenario, the monk would use the power of the 'Spirit King' to reshape Araki's body and help Araki forge the 'King's Key' and the 'Departure Palace'...

And at the crucial moment, he successfully 'summoned' Araki back! The monk has indeed done this, and with his help, Araki has obtained a body equivalent to that of the Zero Division, but at this moment, Araki is not happy at all.

Because once Araki's body became equivalent to the 'King Key', he became the 'easy prey' in the eyes of all the bosses. All the villains who had designs on the Spirit King's map and wanted to 'replace' or 'absorb' the Spirit King would definitely think of him first in order to obtain the 'pass' to the Spirit King's Palace!

In other words, whether Araki likes it or not, he will become the center of all major events, unless he, like the other members of the Zero Division, stays in the Zero Division from now on and doesn't leave. But that's obviously impossible for Araki. Sitting and waiting for death is not in Araki's nature. Continuing to plan and find ways to strengthen himself is Araki's consistent style.

"Hehe, monk, you're scheming again."

Araki was already aware that he had been tricked by the monk, but he was not angry. He calmly left the 'path of meditation' used for cultivation and returned to the 'Eye Monk's' detached hall.

"Hey! Araki-kun, you've finished your training?!"

Araki returned to the palace and saw the 'Sword God' Nimaiya Oetsu waiting for him there.

"Where is the fake monk?"

Araki looked at Wang Yue expressionlessly and asked.

"Forehead……"

"Bingzhubu has gone to the 'Lingwang Palace' to serve Lord Ling!"

"By the way, the Minister of War asked me to tell you that he won't be coming out to see anyone for a while. He plans to stay in the Ling King's palace and serve the Ling King for over a thousand years!"

Wang Yue relayed to Araki everything that Hyosugi had told him before leaving.

“What a coincidence! I was just about to go to the Spirit King’s palace to pay my respects to the Spirit King. According to my agreement with the monk, after I have been reshaped by the Spirit King’s power, I should go to the Spirit King’s palace to test whether my abilities are effective for the Spirit King…” Araki said with a sinister smile on his face. He said coldly to Wang Yue, “While you’re at it, I think we should take this opportunity to settle accounts with that fake monk!”

"Forehead……"

Wang Yue fell silent upon hearing this. Araki's words clearly revealed his anger towards the monk. At the same time, he knew perfectly well why Araki was so angry, and logically, he should have tried to persuade Araki, after all, the monk was his friend and colleague…

However, since Araki has now been reshaped by the power of the Spirit King, his body is now equivalent to the King Key. In addition, given the enormous potential contained in Araki's body, he does not want to get involved in the grudges between Araki and Hyosube.

"The inner palace of the Spirit King is now closed, and outsiders cannot enter."

"Furthermore, the Ministry of War said that your abilities have now been successfully blessed by the Spirit King, and are sufficient to deal with the Spirit King fragments scattered throughout the Three Realms. There is no need to go to the Spirit King's palace to demonstrate them to the Spirit King."

After a long silence, Wang Yue explained to Araki.

"Is that so? In that case, I'll let that fake monk go for now. But I'd like to see how long he can hide in the Spirit King's palace!" After saying that, Araki continued to ask Wang Yue, "Wang Yue, do you know where the Heavenly Pillar Chariot is? My training in the Spirit King's Palace is almost over, and I'm preparing to return to the ground."

"You're planning to go back? Araki, I must remind you! Your current 'rank' is vastly different from that of an ordinary Shinigami. In a sense, you, me, and even the fake 'monk'..." Wang Yue paused here, clearly swayed by Araki's words, "...I mean, Hyosube Ichibei is an existence above Shinigami! Do you really still intend to return to Seireitei?!"

"If I don't go back to Seireitei, where else can I go?!"

"I am not a member of the Zero Division, and I have no obligation to protect Lord Spirit King in the Spirit King Palace."

"Besides, to join the Zero Division, one has to make some achievements and become a great contributor to Soul Society! My qualifications are really too shallow, the Seireitei is more suitable for me."

Upon hearing this, Araki asked Wang Yue in return.

"Araki, you are now no different from us members of the Zero Squad. As for your so-called 'achievements,' your ability to stitch everything together is already your greatest 'achievement'! Alright, don't hesitate any longer, Araki, join our Zero Squad!"

Wang Yue seemed surprised that Araki still intended to return to Seireitei. In Wang Yue's view, Araki was already a member of the 'Zero Division'. The condition for joining the Zero Division must be creating something 'historical', just as he, 'Sword God' Nimaiya Wang Yue, was the creator of the 'Zanpakuto' in Soul Society, and 'True Name Monk' Hyosube Ichibei was the one who first named everything in Soul Society. Araki could use his strange ability to stitch the Soul King together, which was equivalent to history itself. Therefore, Wang Yue once again extended an invitation to Araki to join the Zero Division.

"Wang Yue, which do you think is more important to me, the 'Spirit King' or the 'Soul Realm'?!"

Araki turned around and looked at Wang Yue, asking her a question.

"Of course it's Lord 'Spirit King'! Without Lord 'Spirit King', there would be no Three Realms!"

Wang Yue answered without hesitation.

"None of that matters..."

Araki only said four words about this.

"Forehead……"

Wang Yue's eyelids twitched slightly.

"Wang Yue, which do you think is more important to me, 'Yohabach' or 'Central 46'?!"

Araki looked at Wang Yue and continued to ask.

"Forehead……"

Wang Yue was at a loss for words. Yhwach was Araki's enemy, and the Central 46 were so-called "power holders" and "enforcers" composed of nobles who had existed in Soul Society since ancient times. Obviously, the Central 46 were more important to Araki. However, considering Araki's speaking style, Wang Yue hesitated.

"None of them are important?!"

Wang Yue answered according to Araki's line of thinking.

"It's important to me that 'they' aren't around!"

Araki turned his back to Wang Yue and walked towards the 'Heavenly Pillar Carriage' where the Spirit King Palace's main path was located.

"They're not important to you..."

After hearing Araki's answer, Wang Yue finally stopped trying to persuade Araki to stay. He knew where Araki was going. Araki was going to a place where things he didn't like would disappear. Staying in the Spirit King Palace wouldn't fulfill what Araki wanted.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, Wang Yue stood in the detached hall of the 'Eye Monk', staring blankly as Araki rode the Heavenly Pillar Chariot and leaped down from the Spirit King Palace.

"Has that guy finally left?!"

Just after Araki left, the monk's voice finally rang out behind Wang Yue.
