I'm in Bleach, starting with Unlimited Blade Works.

"Haruko feels so guilty, does she think that I can only forge this one Zanpakuto that surpasses Ryujin Jakka?"

"No, I would never think that way."

Upon hearing Erin's words, Haruko Kuchiki quickly shook her head and retorted, "Erin-kun is the strongest. With Erin-kun's abilities, he can definitely forge even more weapons that surpass Ryujin Jakka."

As she spoke, Haruko clenched her fists in front of Erin to cheer him on.

"That's it."

Seeing that Haruko's mood had improved, Erin smiled, took Haruko's hand, and they walked home together...

……

Since the three newly appointed captains, led by Aizen Sousuke, the captain of the Fifth Division, plotted against Captain Erin of the Eleventh Division, the captains of the Gotei 13 seem to have spontaneously divided into several small groups.

Among them, Soi Fon, the captain of the 2nd Division, and Byakuya Kuchiki, the captain of the 6th Division, both disliked Gin Ichimaru for betraying their teacher. At every captain's meeting, the two sides would have a big argument.

Furthermore, the group of Aizen, Gin Ichimaru, and Kaname Tosen seems to have become strained because Aizen betrayed Gin Ichimaru last time, saying that Gin Ichimaru had provided him with Captain Erin's research on Hollowfication, which caused a rift between Aizen and Gin Ichimaru.

Sometimes, even when Gin Ichimaru is targeted by Soi Fon and Byakuya Kuchiki, he still has to go toe-to-toe with Sosuke Aizen.

However, although the verbal exchanges were quite intense, after leaving the First Division's captain's meeting room, no one went looking for trouble with the other in private.

On the one hand, everyone here is a team leader, and their every move will attract a lot of attention.

If the captains of two squads were to fight, should the Shinigami under their command intervene in the battle caused by the conflict between the two captains?

On the other hand, the captains' signature abilities, "Bankai," are strictly forbidden to be unleashed within the Seireitei by Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni. If discovered, they will be judged by the Central 46 Chambers and imprisoned in the lowest level prison, or exiled to Hueco Mundo to become members of the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force.

Under such circumstances, every captain's meeting was spent in mutual contempt and arguments among the captains, which made the captain's meetings more lively than before.

As far as Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was concerned, as long as these captains could handle the affairs of their respective squads well, maintain the stability of Seireitei, and not fight in Seireitei and cause damage, he would not care about any quarrels or even fights.

However, the Shinigami who was recently Hollowed out still left a thorn in Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's heart.

Regarding this matter, both Soi Fon of the Second Division and Shunsui Kyoraku of the Eighth Division were asked by Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto about the progress of the Hollowfication experiment investigation at almost every captain's meeting.

Unfortunately, after Aizen Sousuke stopped, neither the intelligence personnel of the Second Division nor the Eighth Division could find a single clue, as if that person did not exist.

This situation made Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's heart sink even further.

The fact that even the intelligence divisions of the Second and Eighth Divisions couldn't find out anything shows how deep the water is, and it may even involve some noble families with a history of millions of years.

However, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni had absolute confidence in his own abilities.

These guys hide in the shadows because they know that if they show themselves and are discovered, they will face their wrath.

not to mention……

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni glanced at Erin, who was yawning.

This guy has fully matured.

Judging from his performance over the years, he is clearly not the kind of person with lofty ambitions, but rather a great asset to me.

"boom!"

Just as the captains were arguing in the First Division, a powerful spiritual pressure erupted within the Seireitei.

"Ok?"

"This spiritual pressure is strange."

"The strength is not weak either. Which captain ignored Yamamoto's prohibition and used Bankai in Seireitei?"

Kyoraku Shunsui asked Erin with a puzzled look.

As for why we should ask Erin, it's because among the current Gotei 13, only the 11th Division, besides the 1st Division, has a Shinigami member capable of achieving Bankai with their Zanpakuto.

Furthermore, the direction from which this burst of spiritual pressure originated was from the Eleventh Division.

"Don't ask me, I haven't been to the Eleventh Division for decades, so I don't know the specifics."

Erin shrugged in response to Kyoraku Shunsui's gaze.

"However, this spiritual pressure doesn't belong to Oni-no-Kage. Could it be that another Shinigami in the Eleventh Division has completed their Bankai training?"

"boom!"

As soon as Erin finished speaking, another powerful spiritual pressure erupted.

The next moment, the two captain-level spiritual pressures clashed fiercely in the senses of the captains.

Clearly, it has already been applied.

"Humph!"

Sensing the commotion coming from the Eleventh Division, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni snorted coldly, "Captain Erin, this is a battle that happened in your Eleventh Division. I hope you will find out what happened as soon as possible."

"And, arrest the sinner who was the first to achieve Bankai."

"Yes, Captain."

Chapter 176 Plum Needle

As soon as Erin stepped out of the captain's meeting room, he heard Genki's exaggerated laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

"Little Sword, come this way, come this way..."

In the waiting room for the vice-captains, Zaraki burst through the wall and ran towards the direction of the battle where spiritual pressure erupted, laughing loudly.

However, the stalker Kusajiro Yachiru on his shoulder would occasionally guide Zaraki, causing him to gradually deviate from his intended path.

"It seems that we can't count on Zaraki this time."

Watching Zaraki and Yachiru Kusashi walk away, Erin shook his head and gave up on the idea of ​​calling them back.

Zaraki, cherish the time you have with Kusajishi Yachiru.

Zaraki's current spiritual pressure has reached the level of a captain who has been in office for a hundred years.

Perhaps, after dozens more battles, all of Zaraki's suppressed spiritual pressure will be fully restored.

When Zaraki hears the name of his Zanpakuto, once he releases it, Kusajishi Yachiru will return to Zaraki's mental space.

I silently calculated the time.

Yhwach spent nine hundred years regaining his heartbeat, ninety years regaining his sanity, and nine years recovering his power...

Currently, Yhwach is in the process of regaining his sanity.

There's still time...

"Whoosh!"

Ignoring Zaraki and Yachiru, Erin used Shunpo to rush towards the Eleventh Division.

In his perception, Gui Yancheng seemed to be no match for that newcomer.

Erin was no exception in this regard.

Although Oni Genjo also completed his Bankai training, his Zanpakuto abilities were not strong.

In Erin's words, Oni Yanjo is almost on the same level as Madarame Ikkaku.

Both of them are in very awkward positions.

They had both completed their Bankai training, but compared to the other captains, their spiritual pressure was far too weak.

Although their spiritual pressure was on the same level as the other captains after releasing their Zanpakuto, the abilities of their Zanpakuto meant that they were among the weakest at that level.

In particular, Madarame Ikkaku, due to insufficient spiritual pressure, still had his Zanpakuto dormant after his Bankai. He needed the stimulation of battle to awaken his Zanpakuto and unleash its full power.

Even so, it still only has the power for one strike.

If Madarame Ikkaku's spiritual pressure is sufficient, then after his Bankai, Ryumon Hozukimaru will be fully awakened, and every attack will unleash his strongest power, allowing Madarame Ikkaku's strength to rise another level.

Just as Erin was thinking this, a powerful spiritual pressure erupted from the Eleventh Division.

"boom!"

"Oh? This spiritual pressure... it's Madarame Ikkaku? He's also reached Bankai?"

Sensing the extra captain-level spiritual pressure, Erin's eyes flashed, and he quickly rushed towards the Eleventh Division.

……

In the Eleventh Division, since Captain Zaraki and Captain Erin attended the captains' meeting, the Third Seat, Oni Ichijo, is currently leading the Eleventh Division members in their training.

For the Shinigami of the Eleventh Division, their training is all about fighting, fighting, and more fighting!

Currently, the Shinigami stationed at the Eleventh Division's base are divided into two teams: one led by Third Seat Oni Ichiro and the other by Fifth Seat Madarame Ikkaku. The two teams are fighting each other in the training ground.

"boom!"

The Zanpakuto of Oni-Ganjo and Madarame Ikkaku clashed, sparks flying, and powerful bursts of energy pushed away the Shinigami around them.

Ikkaku Madarame has been a member of the Eleventh Division for over twenty years, and the two sides have fought thousands of times, so they are extremely familiar with each other.

Therefore, after several duels using sword techniques, both Onigenjo and Madarame Ikkaku released their Zanpakuto.

"Stretch out, Hozuki-maru!"

"Smash him—Iron Meteor!"

The Zanpakuto and its scabbard in Madarame Ikkaku's hand merged into a long spear.

Meanwhile, the Zanpakuto in Oni Yancheng's hand transformed into a meteor hammer the size of a bucket. One end of the chain was in Oni Yancheng's hand, while the other end of the meteor hammer was covered with thorns and spikes. With the chain in Oni Yancheng's hand, it created a powerful and swift movement.

"Crash!"

Oni Yancheng threw the chain in his hand toward Madarame Ikkaku, and the next moment, the huge meteor hammer, carrying a powerful force, slammed toward Madarame Ikkaku.

"Well done!"

Although he was at a disadvantage in terms of weapon size, Ikkaku Madarame was not intimidated at all. He swung his spear and slashed at the incoming meteor hammer.

"boom!"

The spear and the meteor hammer collided, and Madarame Ikkaku's Hozukimaru was blasted into an arc shape. The enormous force blasted Madarame Ikkaku into two deep trenches on the ground.

"Hahaha, come again!"

Before he could even regain his footing, Madarame Ikkaku unleashed a burst of spiritual pressure from beneath his feet, abruptly halting his retreat, and then charged towards Oni-Yan-jo.
