From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 441 Daily life of the th Division, the chief officers and Bane’s Zanpakutō Shikai.

"I have carefully read and studied the contents of 'Spirit Particle Composition and Instrument Conversion' that you published in this issue of the academic weekly. It is very similar to the topic I am currently researching. We can discuss many ideas together!" Urahara Kisuke said seriously as he sat in front of Orochimaru.

"Of course we can discuss it, but I have no plans to join the Gotei 13 right now, so don't even think about inviting me to the Second Division." Orochimaru waved his hand.

He is not as gifted as Bane. After coming to Soul Society, his spiritual pressure is extremely strong.

Nowadays, although he has arrived in Soul Society for fifty years, Orochimaru's own spiritual pressure is not that outstanding, and his Zanpakutō is only at the Shikai stage. In the Gotei 13, he can only be a chief officer at most, and is not even qualified to be the vice-captain.

But putting this aside, he is very outstanding in other aspects, especially the way of ghosts. He is simply obsessed with it. Coupled with his original foundation, he can secure the position of the teacher in the Ghost Way Academy.

In this academy, he also has his own research room, and he has plenty of time on weekdays to study the combination of Kidō and Ninja, and develop innovative new techniques.

Life is so joyful, why would you join the Gotei 13 if you have nothing to do?

"It's more convenient over there," Urahara Kisuke muttered. Seeing that Orochimaru really had no intention of wavering, he changed the subject and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's discuss the transformation of the composition of spirit particles and instrument particles."

Soon, the two guys began to exchange academic ideas with each other.

On the other side, in the area of the Central 46th Room, is the 9th Squad’s barracks.

Mako Hirako, Kensei Muguruma, and Hisari Sarukazu were standing in the courtyard of the team barracks.

In front of him, a middle-aged man with a resolute face sat cross-legged on a cushion, holding a list in his hand and said, "The Spiritual Master has something to do today and will not be patrolling the prison. The three of you will be in charge of today's patrol."

"Yes, vice-captain." Hirako Mako replied softly.

As soon as he graduated from the academy, he was recruited by Bane and joined the 9th Squad as a soldier.

Now he has become the third seat of the ninth squad.

Rokuguruma Kensei and Saruaki Hisari were ranked 4th and 5th in the 9th Division respectively.

Now, there are only three of them in the entire 9th squad.

As for Aikawa Ratake, Fengqiao Rojuro and others who graduated at the same time as Hirako Mako or about two years before or after, they went to work in other squads.

After arranging today's patrol, Okiga Genshiro looked at Saruaki Hiyori and said, "Hiyori, over in the 12th Division, the vice-captain Motomura Shino is unable to continue to serve as the vice-captain due to illness. The captain-general has approved his application for leave. The captain of the 12th Division, Hikifune Kiryu, has a very good impression of you, and the two of you have a good personal relationship. She hopes to recruit you from us to be the vice-captain of the 12th Division. What do you think?"

Saruaki Hisari was also born in Rukongai, but unlike Aizen Sosuke and Zaraki Kenpachi, she was not as tragic as others, who gave birth to souls in high-numbered areas. Instead, she was born in West Rukongai's first area, 'Runlin'an', which happens to be the area closest to the west of Seireitei.

The order is very good. Although life is a little difficult and cannot be compared with Seireitei, it is not bad.

It was when Hikifune Kiryu was wandering there that he discovered the talent of Saruaki Hisori, and then brought her into the Soul Society and recommended her for admission.

If things go normally, after Saruaki Hiyori graduates from the Maou Spiritual Academy, she should join the 12th Division.

But who could blame Bane for being unreasonable back then? He took the initiative to pull Saruaki Hiyori, Hirako Mako and others into the Ninth Squad on the grounds that "the Ninth Squad was in decline and needed talented people to take up the responsibility".

It was indeed because of their joining that the 9th Division was quickly brought back on track, and now they have some status in the Gotei 13.

Upon hearing this, Hirako Mako suddenly slapped Saruka Hiyori on the shoulder and said, "Carrot head, you are going to be successful. Your Kiryu mother wants to promote you to be the vice-captain!?"

As a result, the next second after these words fell, Sarukaki Hiyori shook off the hand that was patting Hirako Mako's shoulder, then jumped up on the spot, took off her slippers very skillfully, and slapped Hirako Mako in the face, knocking her away while cursing: "Damn baldy, I've told you ten thousand times, don't call me carrot head!"

Liu Che Quanxi on the side raised his hand and scratched his head, looking helpless. It was obvious that he was used to this kind of thing.

Even the usually serious Okiga Genshiro looked very calm.

In general, the atmosphere in the 9th Division is still very relaxed, because Bane himself is not such a serious person, and the influence from top to bottom gradually becomes like this.

Fortunately, there is Okiga Genshiro to balance the situation, otherwise the 9th Division would be even more outrageous.

After knocking Hirako Mako away with a slipper, Sarukaki Hiyori adjusted her mood and looked at Okiga Genshiro and said, "Deputy Captain, does Master Lingzun know about this?"

"Captain Hikifune Kiryu will of course invite you only after communicating with Lord Lingzun." Okiga Genshiro nodded.

"What is Lord Lingzun's opinion?" Saruaki Hisori asked again.

Chongya Genshiro smiled and then said, "Of course Master Lingzun is unwilling, otherwise why would he be angry today and say he wanted to go out and relax?"

Hearing this, Saruaki Hiyori smiled and scratched his head, saying, "Well, I knew it. After all, the baldy guy is usually lazy and unreliable, and Kensei is too dull. Without me, the 9th Division will be disbanded sooner or later."

At this point, she seemed to have just realized something and quickly added, "Of course, I don't mean to look down on you, the deputy captain."

"Hahaha, don't worry about it." Okiga Genshiro waved his hands, but then his expression straightened and he said, "But Lingzun also knows that you and Captain Hikifune Kiryu have a close relationship, like mother and daughter, and being promoted to the vice-captain of the 12th Division is also a good thing for you. Therefore, although he is reluctant, Lingzun still hopes to fully respect your thoughts and opinions. He told me that you must consider it carefully and don't have any psychological burden. Even if you finally choose to serve in the 12th Division, he will bless you and thank you for your contribution to the 9th Division for more than a hundred years."

Kensei Muguruma on the side also said, "Yes, Hiyori, we are all united as one in the Gotei 13. We are colleagues wherever we are, and it is normal for us to transfer to other teams. Don't feel burdened. You know how broad-minded Reizun is."

It is normal for the Gotei 13 to transfer members among each other, just like Kuchiki Hibiki who married into the Kuchiki family right after graduation.

He originally joined the Sixth Division, but seventy years ago, he was transferred to the First Division and served as the current captain of the special forces. This was actually Kuchiki Ginrin and Yamamoto Genryusai working together to pave the way for him, accumulating better qualifications.

Recently, Kuchiki Ginling is preparing to apply for leave of absence on the grounds of "advanced age" and let Kuchiki Sojun take over the position of the next captain of the Sixth Division.

Kuchiki Sojun has always been in poor health, so he definitely needs a strong assistant to help him manage the Sixth Division.

This candidate is undoubtedly Kuchiki Hibiki, who is currently the captain of the First Squadron's Special Operations Force.

Once Kuchiki Ginrin steps down as captain and Kuchiki Sojun takes over as captain of the Sixth Division, Kuchiki Hibiki will transfer to another team and become vice-captain of the Sixth Division the next day.

In the future, when they have accumulated enough experience, if Kuchiki Sojun is unable to continue to serve as the captain of the Sixth Division due to health reasons, Kuchiki Hibiki will basically be the captain of the Sixth Division when Kuchiki Byakuya is not yet able to take on the responsibility.

And he has really worked hard. Now he has fully mastered Bankai and is qualified to be the captain.

"I understand. I will think about it carefully." Saruaki Hisori responded seriously.

Then he looked at Hirako Mako who was pretending to be dead and said, "Baldy, why are you still pretending here? It's time to carry out the mission and inspect the prison!"

"Deputy Captain, I feel dizzy and have a hot head. It's obvious that my head was hit by this idiot. Can I take a day off?" Mako Hirako said while lying on the ground, covering his head.

But it was obvious that Okiga Genshiro had no intention of paying any attention to him. He got up from the futon and turned to leave the courtyard.

"It's so inhumane." Mako Hirako said helplessly as he stood up.

Soon, the three of them left the team house and headed to the underground entrance of Central Room 46.

The 9th Squad’s barracks are very close to the underground entrance. It was rebuilt right next to it. Just turn left and walk to the top of the wall, and you’ll be there. It’s very convenient for commuting to and from get off work.

Daily inspections are also a very simple matter. All you have to do is enter the first seven floors of the prison to check the condition of the prisoners, see if there are any omissions, and supervise the soldiers in charge of guarding them.

As for the eighth level, that is an area that cannot be entered without Bane's warrant.

The three of them have carried out this kind of mission countless times over the past hundred years and have become very familiar with it.

After entering the underground, Hirako Mako said casually: "Hiyori, don't hesitate. If Lingzun doesn't agree, you won't be able to hear the news at all, right? His meaning is already very clear."

"Yes, Ling Zun is not the kind of captain who would block his subordinates' path to promotion." Liu Che Quanxi said.

"Of course I know, but I still feel a little reluctant, especially since you two are not trustworthy. If I leave, the 9th Division will be broken up by you sooner or later," muttered Saruaki Hisori.

As they were talking, they happened to pass by the main entrance of the Great Spiritual Book Corridor.

"It looks like Captain Kyoraku skipped work again today," Mako Hirako glanced at the soldiers of the Eighth Division at the entrance of the Great Spirit Book Corridor and smacked her lips.

"Senior Yadomaru has worked so hard to take care of such an unreliable captain." Saruaki Hisori said with emotion.

Because the quarters of the Eighth Squad and the Ninth Squad are now connected, they are basically neighbors. In addition, the Eighth Squad is also in charge of the Great Spiritual Book Corridor, and is also on the upper and lower floors of the Great Prison.

Therefore, the members of both sides are very familiar with each other and have a very good relationship. Lisa Yadomaru and Mako Hirako and others often go out for drinks together after get off work, and each of them complains about their own "unreliable" captain.

Without any further delay, the three of them soon arrived at the second underground floor, which was the entrance to the underground prison.

It was completely different from when Bane had just taken over this place. At the entrance to the underground prison, there were fourteen soldiers from the 9th Division lined up on both sides. They had serious faces and attitudes, and they were indeed in a guarding posture.

At the same time, right in front of the gate, a Zanpakuto was stuck in the ground!

The blue dragon pattern and the dragon-mouth handle are Bane's heart ferry!
The mighty and ferocious blue dragon materialized and hovered above the gate, completely blocking the entire prison door. Its eyes were closed, and its dragon whiskers trembled slightly with its breathing. Its domineering body continued to exude a sharp spiritual pressure.

This is how Bane guards the underground prison. The man is not there, but the knife is there!
Under Sister Hua's earnest guidance, Ben successfully "forged" the Heart Crossing into his own Zanpakuto, and mastered the Shikai and Bankai.

Because of his powerful spiritual pressure and the uniqueness of the heart, his Shikai directly achieved the 'normal release type', that is, once he released the Shikai, he could always maintain the Shikai posture unless Bane's spiritual pressure was exhausted or he released it by himself.

The first level of Shinto's Shikai is to completely transform into a blue dragon and share spiritual pressure with Bane.

Recorded by the Soul Society as the 'strongest biological Zanpakutō'.

At the same time, Sister Hua was very happy that Bane, like her, possessed a 'biological' Zanpakutō.

After that, Bane was "freed" from the guarding duty of the 9th Squad. No one else needed to come, just stick the knife here and it would be done, and Xindu would help him guard it!

The two have one soul and share spiritual pressure. If any problem arises, Bane can call on Xindu at any time to come to his side instantly. At the same time, Xindu can also call on Bane to attract him.

"No matter how many times I see it, I always feel that this Azure Dragon is too majestic and domineering. Especially its spiritual pressure. I always feel like I will never be able to catch up with it in my lifetime." Hirako Mako said with emotion.

"That is known as the most powerful biological Zanpakutō in Soul Society. It has the might of wind, water, thunder and fire. When Captain Kuchiki of the Sixth Division led the Sixth Division to cooperate with the Second Division to go to Hueco Mundo to investigate Saito's immortality, he specially asked Reizun to bring this sword along. It is said that as soon as it was released, it cleared a path in the Great Hollow Forest and killed dozens of Gillians with a breath of hot air." Saruaki Hisori said with emotion and admiration.
