From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 466: Hikifune Kiryu is such a scary woman.

This guy Orochimaru is extremely efficient when it comes to doing what he wants to do.

In two days, he had dealt with the affairs of the Maou Spiritual Academy. He did not resign, but simply reduced the pressure of his courses and then officially joined the 12th Division.

Hikifune Kiryu and he hit it off immediately. As a new organization, the Technology Development Bureau was given the green light in all aspects, so its efficiency was very high.

As soon as Orochimaru joined the team, he was directly awarded the third seat and the position of deputy director of the Technology Development Bureau.

Because the vice-captain of the 12th Division is Hisari Saruaki, the former fourth seat of the 9th Division and Bane's younger sister, and she has a very good relationship with Orochimaru, Orochimaru's influence and position in the 12th Division are very stable.

He was recruited personally by the captain, Hikifune Kiryu. The vice-captain has a close relationship with him, and he is also the deputy director. Judging from all these, he has the potential to surpass Saruaki Hisori and become the second-in-command of the 12th Division.

However, Orochimaru is not keen on power, so he doesn't have any expectations for it.

Orochimaru joining the Technology Development Bureau seemed to be a good sign. Kurotsuchi Mayuri, an unemployed vagrant who was being watched by the Second Division and might be caught in the Maggot Nest at any time, made the same decision as Orochimaru after weighing the pros and cons. He joined the Twelfth Division as an ordinary soldier.

Although he did not get any high position in the squad, he served as the head of the research laboratory in the Technology Development Bureau.

Ever since Urahara Kisuke learned that his proposal was adopted and implemented, he has always wanted to transfer from the Second Division to the Twelfth Division.

It's just that Yoruichi Shihoin always blocked him and didn't approve his application (deliberately tormenting him). Until Mayuri Kurotsuchi joined the 12th Division, Kisuke Urahara finally "impressed" Yoruichi Shihoin by saying that he was a "dangerous person who needed to be monitored closely" and successfully transferred to the 12th Division.

Urahara Kisuke has been the third seat in the second squad. After transferring to this team, it is impossible for him to become an ordinary soldier like Kurotsuchi Mayuri who has no background.

In addition, it was he who ultimately proposed the establishment of the Technology Development Bureau, so it can be said that he was a pioneering figure.

But considering that Orochimaru had already taken the position first and had a strong background, in the end, Urahara Kisuke became the fourth seat of the 12th Division and served as the chief director of the Technical Development Bureau.

Although he is called the chief director, in reality, there is only one research laboratory in the Technical Development Bureau, which is Kurotsuchi Mayuri's. So it is obvious that this position is just an empty promise for the time being. It only provides status but no substantial feedback.

However, it is obvious that Kisuke Urahara had already had a relatively mature construction idea for the Technology Development Bureau a long time ago.

Under his suggestion, the 12th Division began to undergo a large number of reforms, and the previously confusing functions were gradually clarified.

Various monitoring functions were unified and divided into the "Communication Technology Research Department" and "Radio Wave Measurement Research Department" under the Technology Development Bureau.

In other words, on the surface, the supervisory authority of the 12th Division and the corresponding scientific research of the Technical Development Bureau have been completely integrated into one organization.

This feels a bit like dividing the power of the 12th Division.

But then, Hikifune Kiryu reported to the captain-general Yamamoto Genryusai and asked him to set rules in the future that the director of the Technology Development Bureau could only be the captain of the 12th Division.

In this way, there would be no need to worry about the Technology Development Bureau becoming bigger and stronger, sharing the power of the 12th Division, and becoming an independent organization one day.

Only the captain of the 12th Division can serve as the director of the Technology Development Bureau, which is equivalent to completely binding the 12th Division to the Technology Development Bureau. Then there is no need to worry about the sharing of power. As long as you are in this pot, everything is yours.

Of course, Yamamoto Genryusai had no objection and directly agreed to Hikifune Kiryu's application.

At the same time, after nearly a month of assessment and observation, the position of captain of the Seventh Division, which had been vacant for such a long time, was officially ended and was taken over by Isshin Shiba, the fierce general of Xirukongai.

This is obviously a huge change.

Bane had the impression that, if he remembered correctly, in the original story, Mako Hirako and the others did not know Shiba Isshin at all. In other words, it was more likely that Shiba Isshin became the captain of the Tenth Division only after Mako Hirako and the others got into trouble.

Nowadays, Shutra Senjumaru is summoned by the Soul King Palace every fifty years, but she refuses every time and has no interest in the Soul King Palace at all. It is estimated that she is unlikely to enter the Soul King Palace again.

Because of this, the power of the Tenth Division is firmly in her hands, and it is estimated that there will be no changes for a long time.

Then it is even more impossible for Isshin Shiba to be the captain of the 10th Division.

No one knows what influenced this guy, who used to be a timely helper in West Rukongai, to join the Gotei 13 at this time and become the captain of the 7th Division.

It looked as if there was hope for the Shiba family to revive.

The 8th Squadron barracks.

When moving, Kyoraku Shunsui threw away everything. The only thing he didn't throw away was the huge cherry tree in the courtyard of the 8th Division.

He had to transplant this thing to the current courtyard of the Eighth Division.

At this time, several captains were drinking and having fun under the cherry tree. Ben leaned against the tree trunk, holding a wine bowl in his hand, and looked at Kenpachi Kuryashiki who was drinking heavily beside him and said, "Are you feeling better? Are you drinking like crazy here?"

Kuriyashiki Kenpachi drank the wine in one gulp, then laughed heartily, "Hahaha, I've already fully recovered. My physique is very strong!"

The two of them were chatting here, and across from them, Hikifune Kiryu was holding a glass of wine and said to Kyoraku Shunsui, "Don't be so stingy. As a man, be more generous!"

"You asked for nearly two years' budget of my Eighth Division in one go, and you want me to be more generous? Are you okay?" Kyoraku Shunsui said helplessly.

"Humph, last time I treated Lisa to a drink, and after I got her drunk, I was able to extract a lot of information from her. Your Eighth Division has a year-round financial surplus, and you now have at least five years of budget funds in hand. What's wrong with giving me two years of it?" Hikifune Kiryu said unreasonably.

"That was something I saved bit by bit under great pressure, just so that if any problems arise someday in the future, I can quickly make up for it with funds." Kyoraku Shunsui said with a pout.

"It was obviously you who saved the public funds and wanted to use them for personal purposes to buy alcohol!" Hikifune Kiryu exposed.

"How can you defame someone's innocence out of thin air?" Kyoraku Shunsui's face changed, as if he was exposed, and he shouted loudly.

"The captain-general has already said that all divisions should give our Technology Development Bureau all the support they can. A few days ago, Bane violated the rules and gave us 200 Zanpakutō belonging to criminals in the prison under Division 9 as gifts. You and I have been friends for so many years, so what's wrong with giving me some money to support scientific research?" Hikifune Kiryu said angrily.

Ben was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "What are you talking about? What do you mean by violation? I was strictly following the captain's order to 'provide support to the best of my ability'. From a procedural point of view, there is absolutely no problem!"

"What do you want so much money for?" Kenpachi Kuriyashiki asked curiously.

"Doing scientific research is the most expensive thing. Nowadays, 70% of the scientific research projects in Soul Society are concentrated in our Technology Development Bureau, but the funds are not in place at all. Take the Maou Academy of Spiritual Arts as an example. The research institute was originally under their jurisdiction, so of course they would allocate funds to support it. Now that the research institute is in the hands of our 12th Division and has produced results, it has nothing to do with the academy. How can they continue to give money to support it? This year's division funds were allocated as early as the beginning of the year. At that time, there was no Technology Development Bureau, and of course the money given did not take these into consideration. Now that the Technology Development Bureau has been established, I have no money at all. Without money, I can't promote development. So don't I come to him for money?" Hikifune Kiryu said with a bitter face.

"If you don't have money, go ask the captain for it. Why do you come to me and treat me as a sucker?" Kyoraku Shunsui didn't buy it at all and said with disgust.

"Alas," Hikifune Kiryu sighed and said, "It seems that I have to use my trump card."

"Seduction has no use on me. I like young and beautiful girls. People like you fit the aesthetic taste of that bastard Bane. You can seduce him. He is the real landlord and rich man. He controls the entire undeveloped spiritual world in his hands. If he gets a little bit of the oil, it will be enough for you to make a fortune!" Kyoraku Shunsui said immediately.

"You bastard, who do you think I am?!" Hikifune Kiryu was stunned at first, then he angrily grabbed Kyoraku Shunsui's collar and cursed: "Are you saying that I'm not young and pretty enough?"

"He is slandering you, don't you do anything about it?" Kenpachi Kuriyashiki watched the scene with a smile, and said to Bane while drinking.

Bane also watched this scene very calmly.

Hikifune Kiryu and Kyoraku Shunsui have a very good relationship. The two have maintained this relationship of mutual torture for many years. He has seen this kind of scene too many times and has long been accustomed to it.

"Where is the slander?" Bane said after a moment's pause.

"Ah, this." Kenpachi Kuriyashiki was stunned by Bane's reaction. After a moment of silence, he said, "I think there's nothing wrong with it."

"In short, your Eighth Division is an intelligence team, and has a great need for communication technology and surveillance technology. Our Twelfth Division is now upgrading these two technologies. If you give me financial support now, you will be the investor. When there are results, I can of course share them with your Eighth Division. But if you don't give me money, I will raise the price and sell them to you. Then you can just wait to bleed!" After Hikifune Kiryu punched Kyoraku Shunsui twice, he let go of him as if he was relieved, grabbed the wine bowl, and said threateningly.

Kyoraku Shunsui rubbed his not-yet-purple eye sockets and said with a look of disdain, "Just because you made it, do I have to buy it? Can't I just not buy it?"

"If you don't buy it, I will report you to the captain-general for dereliction of duty. You could have enhanced the intelligence capabilities of the Eighth Division, but you turned a blind eye to this new technology in order to save money to buy alcohol. If this isn't dereliction of duty, what is? I will report you and then let Senjumaru arrest you and give you a thorough interrogation. After that, I will send you to Bane's territory and treat you as a treat!" Hikifune Kiryu said viciously.

Kyoraku Shunsui???

Do we have such a life-and-death feud?

But thinking about it carefully, the Eighth Division really needs better equipment recently, especially the monitoring of the real world. Some time ago, Ukitake Jushiro had asked him for help to distinguish the Quincies in the real world as much as possible and to increase vigilance against the Quincies.

In addition, Bane and Kenpachi Kuriyashiki had caused a big commotion in Hueco Mundo and demolished the Hollow Forest. After that, the Eighth Squad had to work hard to search for a new gathering place of Gillian Hollows in Hueco Mundo.

All of these seem to require the 12th Division to quickly develop stronger and better equipment support.
In addition, the captain-general did say before that each division should provide assistance to the newly established Technology Development Bureau to the best of its ability.

Thinking of this, Kyoraku Shunsui said with emotion: "Forget it, I will ask Lisa to sort out the accounts tomorrow and send the funds you want."

Hikifune Kiryu, who had just been threatening Kyoraku Shunsui with a 'life-and-death feud', suddenly became happy upon hearing this, and raised his glass and said, "Thank you very much, Lord Kyoraku, I toast you!"

"What a scary woman." Kenpachi Kuriyashiki muttered while smacking his lips as he saw how quickly she changed her attitude.

Ben also said with a look of approval: "Yes, it's quite scary. This is the main reason why I still have no feelings for Kiryu even though her figure and appearance are all in my strike zone."

Finding a mad scientist as your partner, isn't that crazy?
