Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

"Success!"

In an instant, the members of the Eleventh Division raised their Zanpakuto and shouted excitedly.

"Thank you for your help. Now it's our turn to take action!"

Without the help of the Kylian's Cero, the Adjuchas were at a disadvantage, especially on the battlefield where Ujima was. The entire scene turned into a one-sided rout. After a few flashes of cold light, apart from Deheera who ran away with the corpses of his comrades, all the other Hollows were dead...

As for the Adjuchas who were besieging the other captains, after witnessing the strength of these captain-level Shinigami, they also considered fleeing! Although there wasn't the humiliating situation like when the group of 'Hollows' who dealt with 'Sister' all perished except for the squad leader, some mid-level Hollows still died on the spot when they were careless and faced with the Bankai of the captain-level Shinigami...

"run!"

For a moment, the Adjuchas had only one thing on their minds: to run away with the corpses of their companions.

"We've won! We've won..."

As the group of soldiers watched the fleeing Adjuchas, they brandished their Zanpakuto, shouting excitedly. Some shouted until their voices were hoarse, while others seemed overly hysterical. They were releasing the suppressed emotions in their chests, which was a form of catharsis for them.

"Victory? This is only the beginning..."

"There are still many members who don't know the name of their Zanpakuto and haven't been able to complete its Shikai! It seems I haven't put enough pressure on them! They're still too lazy."

Araki stood in the sky, watching the cheering crowd, lost in thought.

As the captain of these 11th Division members, Araki was naturally responsible for their lives. He adhered to the principle of squeezing them to death as long as they were alive, and planned to continue to apply pressure!

After all, what we're sweating now is sweat, but what we'll shed when we actually encounter the enemy is blood! Therefore, Araki decided it was time to organize his ordinary soldiers and try to defeat 'Adjuchas'!

In response, the members of the 11th Division of the Gotei 13 praised Araki, saying, "Captain Araki, you are truly our beloved captain!"

If the nobles of Seireitei could hear what Araki was thinking, they would surely pat him on the shoulder and say, "Oh! Our friend, Captain Araki, you are the true noble! Compared to you, our methods for dealing with those lowly commoners in the Ghost City are far too lenient..."

Chapter 73 Hurry up and thank Captain Araki!

After facing a formidable enemy, everyone appeared extremely exhausted...

"Everyone, please move the bodies back in an orderly manner. Now it's rest time."

Araki, the notorious "heartless" captain of the Soul Society, descended from the sky and stood before the group of members, speaking with a smile.

"I can finally rest."

Upon hearing this, the members of the Eleventh Division were so moved that they almost cried.

Clearly, everyone felt Araki's good intentions towards them...

"Take the body back!"

In an instant, the team members carried the remains of the Hollows on the ground toward the outside of the 'Hollow Forest' in an orderly manner.

"Captain Araki, where did you go during the Hollow invasion?!"

Just as Araki was smiling as he looked at the group of hardworking Eleventh Division members, Shijima Chigiri approached Araki and asked expressionlessly.

"Huh? What did you just say? The wind was too strong, I don't think I heard you clearly..."

Araki smiled slightly as he looked at Shijima Chigiri who was approaching, and then put his right arm on Shijima's shoulder.

"Gudong~"

Shijima glanced at Araki's left hand, which was stroking the Zanpakuto at his waist, and saw beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Actually, it's nothing serious for me, so I won't trouble Captain Araki..."

Shijima looked at Araki's hand on the hilt of the sword. After a brief silence, a rare smile appeared on his usually gloomy face.

"Are you nervous?"

Araki didn't let Shijima leave; he continued to put his arm around Shijima's shoulder and asked.

"Don't be nervous. With you here, what do I have to be nervous about? You agree with me, right, Captain Araki?"

Shijima's mind raced, and he answered in quick succession.

"Your face is pale, and you still say you're not nervous?"

Araki still wore a smile, appearing as a gentle captain.

"I'm really not nervous..."

As Shijima spoke, his eyes remained fixed on Araki's hand gripping the hilt of his Zanpakuto.

"What did you just ask?"

Araki suddenly asked Shijima.

"No, I mean I'm fine..."

Shijima instinctively wanted to say that he wasn't nervous, but thankfully he changed his mind in time.

"Really? Actually, I just went to protect our hot spring. I was afraid the Hollows were after the hot spring."

Araki spoke softly to Shijima.

"spa?"

Shijima paused for a moment, then frowned. How did Daigen know about the 'hot spring'?!

Besides, if Araki is guarding the hot springs, then what is Hisamitsu Kentei doing? Building a castle out of sand?!

"Actually... I've always suspected that there's a Hollow spy in our team."

Just as Shijima was in a daze, Araki's voice continued.

"Forehead……"

The moment Shijima heard Araki's words, he felt his heart skip a beat, and even the surrounding air seemed to grow colder.

"Do you think... this undercover agent could be you?"

Just as Shijima was in a panic, Araki's voice continued to ring out.

"Of course not..."

Shijima was already feeling a chill on his neck.

"I think it could be..."

Araki didn't give Shijima a chance to say more, and spoke in a low voice.

"Gudong..."

At this moment, Shijima panicked. He could only hear his heart pounding wildly in his chest. He was now hanging by a thread.

"Haha, just kidding, look how scared you are! How could you possibly be a spy?"

Before Shijima could react, Araki suddenly chuckled and brushed the matter off with a laugh.

"Yes, just kidding, just kidding."

Shijima felt like he was about to collapse; Araki's words had changed too quickly.

"Then do you think I could be the spy?"

Before Shijima could even catch his breath, Araki asked again.

"How could that be! You're the captain of the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force. You absolutely won't have any problems. Even if something does happen, it'll be a problem with the team..."

Shijima was startled by Araki's words and looked at Araki repeatedly.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not joking with you. By the way, I see you're quite clever, so I'm just giving you a little hint: pay close attention to the movements of the people in our team, and see who the spy really is..."

Araki spoke earnestly to Shijima, appearing to have high hopes for him.

"I don't think there are any spies in our team."

Shijima spoke with a firm tone.

"You really think so?"

Araki asked again.

"real!"

Shijima's attitude was firm; at this moment, he was more resolute than ever before.

"Um……"

Araki said nothing this time, but released Shijima's shoulder and turned to follow the group forward.

"Aren't you going to thank Captain Araki yet?!"

Just as Shijima was at a loss, Reikotsu Saizo came to Shijima's side and forcefully poked Shijima's spine with the hilt of his sword.

"Thank you, Captain Araki!"

At that moment, Shijima suddenly realized what was happening and thanked Araki.

"Um……"

Araki said nothing and strode forward.

"Fool."

After watching Araki leave, Saizo also slowly walked forward. Before leaving, Saizo muttered a curse at Shijima, calling him 'stupid.' At the same time, he thought to himself, 'Do you really think others can't see what's going on? In all your life, have you ever seen even one Hollow that doesn't even spare the Grim Reaper? Some things are better kept in your heart, and some words should never be spoken, otherwise you won't even know how you died one day.'

You could say that experience truly matters...

'Hollow Night Palace'.

"Your Majesty Barragán, we have failed you in your high expectations; we have been defeated..."

The Adjuchas knelt before Barragán, their heads bowed, not daring to look up at their 'capricious' king.

"You guys played well!"

"Great, I'm very happy..."

To everyone's surprise, Barragán did not blame any of his subordinates this time; on the contrary, he seemed quite happy.

"Um?!"

This stunned the group of 'Adjuchas' who had been resigned to their fate. When had their emperor become so accommodating?! Normally, shouldn't their emperor be furious, crush them, these losers, into dust, and then personally rush to the battlefield to utterly crush those blind Grim Reapers?!

"Now throw all the Hollow corpses you've collected into that pool! Once liquid forms inside, you're all to soak in it..."

Barragán continued to give orders to his subordinates.
