From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 510: Byakuya Kuchiki, Gin Ichimaru, and Rangiku.

West Ryuhun Street.

Near the Baidao Gate, a huge gate that goes through the world stands here.

A large number of Rukongai civilians were coming in and out here, carrying large and small bags of things, and on the other side of the gate was the Pure Land.

Looking inward from the direction of the gate, the Pure Land is no longer as lonely and desolate as it was many years ago.

From afar, one can see a fairly large civilian town that has already been built, and it seems that a large number of civilians have already started to settle down there.

Further away from the town, there is a huge construction site. Although it still looks very chaotic at the moment, one can get a glimpse of its grandeur just from the area covered by the project.

It was a huge building that was no less large than the Seireitei.

Countless workers, like ants, were clinging to this project. At the same time, a large number of nobles were also coming in and out. Even the Shinigami from the Gotei 13 were patrolling there. Judging from their appearance, they should be members of the 6th Division.

In the construction site, Kuchiki Byakuya, the third commander of the Sixth Division, was walking around and inspecting.

"All projects in Tianzhou City must be strictly supervised. There must not be any cutting of corners. Once discovered, all those involved will be executed." Kuchiki Byakuya said in a very stern tone.

The young boy back then has become quite majestic now.

Tenju Castle is the name of an aristocratic city in Seireitei that is no less powerful than Seireitei and is built within the Pure Land by gathering all the aristocratic strength and resources.

It means 'a noble family'.

Judging from the construction scale and current speed, it will take at least three to five hundred years to complete the construction of Tianzhou City.

But it doesn't matter. For the gods of death, as long as they don't die accidentally, they can still live for three to five hundred years, especially those nobles who live a comfortable life. Basically, this generation of nobles, except for the very old ones, can probably see the future when Tianzhou City is completed and they can move in.

"Ever since the last incident of cutting corners, in which more than thirty people involved were sentenced to death, there has not been a single similar incident in the past twenty years, so please rest assured, Lord Byakuya." A noble in charge said to Byakuya Kuchiki with a flattering smile.

"Twenty years is neither long nor short. It's almost time for those guys to only care about food and not fights, so we have to keep a closer eye on them." Kuchiki Byakuya said softly.

"I understand, I understand. I promise not to let you down." The manager responded immediately.

The place where the group of civilians outside live is a logistics area specially used to supply the construction site. It doesn't matter how it is built, but this Tenjo Castle is a joint venture of all the nobles in Soul Society, and it's all the masters' money that is spent. If you are greedy for money at this time, wouldn't that be making things difficult for the noble masters?

The people who caused that incident last time have all been executed. It seems that they are still being used as material and sent to the 12th Division after being sentenced to death? The manager felt terrified just thinking about it.

Without continuing the topic, after taking a quick look at the construction site, Byakuya Kuchiki turned and walked towards the gate, ready to return to Soul Society.

Walking on this road and looking at the busy figures of the civilians, Kuchiki Byakuya couldn't help but smile slightly.

According to the observation report of Seireitei on Rukongai, in the past fifty years, the public security level in at least the West Rukongai area has reached its highest peak in history. Even in areas numbered above 70, there are rarely any gatherings of rebellion.

Those unlucky people who originally lived in high-numbered areas can move to low-numbered areas, and those in low-numbered areas, as long as they have some strength and are not lazy, will start moving towards the Pure Land.

There are many opportunities in the Pure Land, whether you go to open up wasteland and farm, or work on a construction site, or do something else, in short, in this busy world, as long as you are willing to work, you will never starve to death.

Precisely because the positive impact of the Pure Land is so significant, the Central 46th Office has been communicating frequently with the captain-general Yamamoto Genryusai in recent times, hoping to discuss with the Reizoun through Yamamoto Genryusai to see whether to build gates in the other three Rukongai, so as to further reduce the chaos in Rukongai and restore order.

The shrewd steward seemed to have noticed the subtle smile on Kuchiki Byakuya's face, so he introduced in a playful way: "Master Byakuya, this year alone, our project has attracted more than 30,000 new workers, providing strong support for the stability and development of West Ryukon Street. According to the next goal, we will also..."

Kuchiki Byakuya seemed to be very interested in this matter. He slowed down his pace, nodded from time to time, and praised the manager for doing a good job, which made the manager feel relieved.

This is the next generation head of the Kuchiki family. I heard that the head of this generation, Lord Sojun, has recently been considering stepping down as the head of the family. In other words, it is very likely that it won't be too long before this young master will become the boss of the Kuchiki family and the captain of the Sixth Division!

If I could just make him remember me, how could I live without wealth in the future?

Lord Byakuya is kind-hearted and can't bear to see these civilians suffer, so I should work harder here and strive to make these civilians live a good life. Then I will be able to live a good life too, right?

"We have selected quite a few promising talents among them. I'm thinking of sending them to Soul Society later to see if they can enter the Shinō Academy of Spiritual Arts. If they can, they will be the pillars of Soul Society in the future, hehe," said the manager with a smile.

It was also a subtle way of mentioning one's own achievements.

When Bai Ya heard this, he stopped and said with interest: "Really? Then take me to see the seedlings you mentioned."

"Ah?" The steward was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Lord Baiya to be interested. He was a little confused for a moment, but soon reacted and said immediately: "Okay, okay, follow me."

As he said this, he also ordered his men to quickly call back those good seedlings from the construction site and let Lord Baiya take a look.

The reason why Kuchiki Byakuya suddenly became interested in these so-called good seedlings was because he thought of the Isshinkai. The development of the Isshinkai must continue to deepen, so where is the best place to start? Naturally, it is better to start with fresh blood.

Cultivating them from the very beginning can increase their recognition and loyalty to the Isshinkai.

Back then, when his good friend Uchiha Sasuke talked to him about the Isshinkai and invited him to join, Byakuya was a little surprised.

Because before this, he had never even heard of this organization!

You know, he is the head of the three great noble families today, the young master of the Kuchiki family, and also the third seat of the Sixth Division. It cannot be said that there is nothing he doesn't know about Soul Society, but what is certain is that as long as he doesn't know it, it must be very powerful!

At that time, Byakuya Kuchiki did not agree immediately and said that he would go back and discuss it with his father.

Considering the extremely strong relationship between Kuchiki Sojun and Reizoun, Sasuke agreed.

In fact, Kuchiki Sojun was the fundamental reason that prompted Kuchiki Byakuya to finally join the Isshinkai. When he went back and mentioned this matter, Kuchiki Sojun immediately asked his son to join quickly and make him a core member!
Because Kuchiki Byakuya may not have considered any deeper factors, but Kuchiki Sojun thought of it immediately.

Isshinkai is a secret society formed around Reizoun. Looking at its members, it was Uchiha Sasuke who came forward to invite Byakuya. Who is Uchiha Sasuke?
He was Lingzun's most trusted retainer and his first disciple who was older than Aizen!
Whenever Aizen Sosuke saw Uchiha Sasuke, he would call him "senior brother".

The two of them are also Bane's only two disciples. Back then, Sasuke was just a nominal disciple, but later when he traveled through the world with him, he naturally became Bane's personal disciple.

What does this mean? It means that the members of Yi Xin Hui are of very high standard, at least the backbone members are of very high standard, and they are definitely the confidants of Ling Zun.

And when Byakuya came in, he found that it was indeed the case, and more.

Such a Isshinkai undoubtedly represents a new noble class that will rely on the Soul Masters in the future, and this kind of class is actually inevitable to emerge in Soul Society.

Obviously, it was not only Yamamoto Genryusai who could see through the situation, many people in Soul Society could see it clearly as well.

No one knows when Ling Zun will become the new Ling King.

And it is definitely not the kind of "mascot" that is imprisoned in the Soul King Palace as a wedge.

In this case, if the Kuchiki family can become a vassal of the emperor in advance, wouldn't that be a win?

But the problem is that Ling Zun has his own group of retainers. Although the relationship with the Kuchiki family has always been good, it is still a little bit lacking. In this case, how can one become a retainer of the palace?

Kuchiki Sojun had not thought of the answer to this question before, but when Kuchiki Byakuya mentioned the Isshinkai, he immediately realized that this was an opportunity!

Therefore, Byakuya quickly joined the Isshin Society, and because of his status as the young master of a great noble family, he became a core member of the Isshin Society.

As the saying goes, there are no factions in the party, and there are all kinds of strange things.

Although everyone in the Isshinkai is a group, they also have their own factions. For example, Orochimaru and Kurotsuchi Mayuri are in the same group. If you count them further, they can also be considered as Aizen and Urahara Kisuke.

Mako Hirako is in the same group with Hisari Saruki, Kenjiro Rokuguruma, and Souya Nishizawa.

Uchiha Sasuke, Zoro and others have their own situations.

Byakuya Kuchiki can barely be considered as a member of Uchiha Sasuke's side, but at the same time, he also hopes to form another team of his own, which will then make it easier to gain more benefits for the Kuchiki family.

Looking for the new generation is a very reliable method.

As for why the original members of the Kuchiki family were not brought in, it was because that was extremely inappropriate. They were loyal to the Kuchiki family, not the Isshin Society. This alone was enough to ensure that they would not be allowed to join. Otherwise, it would feel like they were occupying the magpie's nest.

Just as Byakuya Kuchiki was thinking about this, some good seedlings were brought to him.

There were about seven or eight people. At a glance, Byakuya could almost see the other party's situation. As the third seat of the Sixth Division, he had some insight.

Five of them are mediocre. At most they can become chief officers in the future. Most likely they will become ordinary team members, which is not within Byakuya's consideration.

But there were two little ones who gave him a pleasant surprise.

One is a silver-haired boy with squinting eyes, who seems to be in deep thought, and the other is a brown-haired girl. Judging from their positions, the two seem to have a good relationship.

"What are your names, both of you?" Bai Ya looked at the two and asked softly.

"Us?" The silver-haired boy took a half step forward, intentionally or unintentionally protecting the girl behind him, and then said: "To answer your question, my name is Ichimaru Gin, and her name is Matsumoto Rangiku."
