Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

Since I can't use Bankai, then it's fine...

"Haha~"

Araki looked at the silent Genryusai and smiled.

"Master Genryusai, weren't you going to use Bankai? Why hasn't your Zanpakuto changed? Could it be that you've changed your mind and are planning to spare my life?!"

Araki looked at Genryusai and asked in an incredibly irritating way.

"Even without Bankai, I can still take you down!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Liuzhai stubbornly replied.

"Master Genryuzhai, is it because you don't want to achieve Bankai?"

"Is it because you're afraid your Zanpakuto's Bankai power is too strong, and you don't want to accidentally harm your disciple's life?"

"Your behavior—clearly furious, yet still intending to save your disciple's life..."

"My apprentice is so touched!"

Araki watched as Genryusai, who was still stubbornly arguing, continued to spout his thoughts.

"you……"

Yuan Liuzhai was so angered by Araki's words that he took several steps back. His chest heaved up and down, and he pointed at Araki's face but couldn't utter a word. He was clearly furious with Araki.

"Teacher Yuanliuzhai, please calm down..."

"Although I can't lend you all the money here, it wouldn't be impossible to lend you a little bit..."

Seeing that his teacher's heart condition seemed to be about to flare up, Araki knew that he had had enough fun, so he immediately put away his frivolousness and spoke softly to Genryusai.

"Um?!"

Suddenly, Yuan Liuzhai felt that his chest was not so stuffy anymore.

"How many?"

Yuan Liuzhai looked at Araki and asked.

"One billion!"

Araki readily answered.

"I'm your teacher!!"

After hearing what Araki said, Genryuzai roared in anger.

"What do you mean?"

Araki narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.

"You have to pay more!"

As Yuan Liuzhai spoke, he held up two fingers.

That bastard! He's so angry, he'll have to pay at least two billion!

"At least two billion!"

Yuan Liuzhai spoke in a deep voice.

"make a deal!"

Araki immediately agreed. He had originally expected it to be around 10 billion, but he hadn't expected that the old man Genryusai wasn't too greedy.

"Oh no! I underestimated it..."

After hearing what Araki said, Genryuzai's face turned deathly pale.

"What I said before doesn't count! We need to add a little more."

As Yuan Liuzhai spoke, he tentatively extended his third finger.

“Master, a gentleman’s word is as good as his bond! As the dean of the ‘True Central Spiritual Arts Academy,’ you have no reason to go back on your word. Surely this is how you teach your students?!”

Araki grasped Genryusai's outstretched finger, while Genryusai tried to extend his own. The two thus began a struggle within the 'True Central Spiritual Arts Academy'.

"Araki! Look how old your teacher is, you should learn to care for your teacher..."

"You should do the math, how many more years do I have left to live?!"

As Yuan Liuzhai and Huang Mu wrestled, Yuan Liuzhai squinted and said in a deep voice.

"Ha ha……"

“Teacher Genryuzai, you are no longer a pure Grim Reaper, just like me. We are royal agents of the ‘Zero Squad’, and like the great ‘Spirit King’, we are immortal beings. Since we have already achieved immortality, we cannot be judged by common sense. So how can you say that we are old?”

Araki merely sneered upon hearing this, a hint of ruthlessness emanating from his smile.

"That's wrong!"

"Even the Soul Society has an age; you and I are merely Shinigami, how can we not have ages!?"

At this moment, Yuan Liuzhai's expression gradually became serious.

"Three billion!"

Yuan Liuzhai immediately asked for 1 billion.

"No, a maximum of 2.1 billion, no more than that!"

Upon hearing this, Araki placed a bet of nine hundred million.

"Twenty-nine..."

Yuan Liuzhai attempted to bargain.

"Twenty-one and a half!"

Araki continued to rise slightly.

"Higher!"

Yuan Liuzhai continued to struggle.

"Master, your image has completely collapsed..."

Araki was having a terrible headache. Who knew that Genryusai, without his Captain-Commander status, would let himself go so freely?!

half an hour...

After Genryusai and Araki argued for a while longer, they finally reached a consensus!

With a smile on his face, Yuan Liuzhai left happily, carrying the 2.5 billion yen in his hand, under Araki's seemingly gloomy gaze.

"Finally, they've been sent away..."

Araki watched Genryusai leave and finally smiled.

It's just a mere 2.5 billion; Araki doesn't even consider it a threat.

"Saito, issue a conscription order to the entire Soul Society!"

"Whether you're a Shinigami from the Gotei 13, a nobleman from the Seireitei without a Shinigami rank, or even someone who's indifferent to the Seireitei, has no status, and enjoys wandering the Ghost Streets, but is determined to contribute to the Soul Society's fight against Hueco Mundo, as long as you pass the tests set by our First Division and are selected, you can join the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force and once again embark on an expedition to Hueco Mundo for our prosperous and peaceful world!"

After successfully sending his teacher away, Araki called out to Saito Immortal, who was waiting outside the door, and assigned her the day's tasks.

"Ok."

Saito nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"Araki, can we really recruit warriors who are completely unafraid of their own lives and dare to leave the Soul Society for the distant Hueco Mundo to fight against the tyrannical Hollows?!"

Saito unconditionally agreed to all of Araki's orders...

However, she was still curious about Araki's order. Could Araki's announcement, which only talked about treatment, not organizational structure, and not the future, and relied purely on honor and mission to deceive people, really recruit powerful soldiers?

In Saito's view, Araki's actions were far less reliable than simply issuing orders as the Captain-Commander to force several divisions of the Gotei 13 to conduct Hollow extermination operations in Hueco Mundo.

"We don't actually need to recruit any soldiers who intend to go to Hueco Mundo to fight the Hollows! As long as we give the Seireitei the impression that we are working hard for it, the Central 46 won't have a reason to ask us to repay the money. In fact, the longer we delay, the more advantageous it is for us. After all, money is never cheap. Every day we advertise, the expenses we need will be calculated in hundreds of millions..."

Araki couldn't help but smile after hearing Saito's words. He calmly explained his plan to Saito.

"Forehead……"

When Saito heard Araki's words, she trembled. She never expected that Araki's heart could be so black! He was too lazy to even organize this so-called 'Hueco Mundo' expeditionary force.

"Understood?"

Araki looked at the stunned Saito and asked him a question.

"Understood!"

Upon hearing this, Saito first nodded slightly to Araki, then went to arrange the work.

"Announcement! Announcement!"

"Welcome all those who are not afraid of powerful Hollows, dare to challenge themselves, and are willing to go to Hueco Mundo! Come to the barracks of the 1st Gotei 1st Division to register for the second physical test for the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force..."

"Those who pass the physical tests will become members of the glorious Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force! We will march into Hueco Mundo to uphold the glory of the Seireitei Shinigami, slay those tyrannical Menos Grande, and maintain world peace!"

After receiving Saito's orders, the members of the 'First Division' immediately rushed between the 'Seireitei' and the 'Ghost Town,' posting notices in the barracks of the 'Gotei 13' and the wooden houses of the 'Ghost Town'...

Furthermore, the members of this 'First Division' would set aside a certain amount of time each day to give lectures, almost like a formality, throughout the various barracks of the 'Gotei 13' and the streets of the 'Yūkigai' (Ghost Street) with the highest numbers, effectively conveying Araki's orders repeatedly.

a week later……

In just one week, the members of the 'First Division' had spread the news throughout the entire 'Seireitei' and almost all the 'Soul Towns' with the assigned numbers.

In an instant, the entire Soul Society was in an uproar, and countless people began to discuss Araki's formation of the Hueco Mundo Expeditionary Force in their spare time!

Even the wandering spirits who previously held no interest in the Seireitei often discussed the expeditionary force. This demonstrates the extent to which the members of the 'First Division' were promoting the expeditionary force…

At one point, even Araki himself, who always stayed in the 'Captain's Room,' thought that he was planning to rebuild an expeditionary force to subdue 'Hueco Mundo.' However, he did not stop these 'First Division' members from spontaneously promoting the expeditionary force, since the more realistic their performance, the better it would be for him to hypnotize the '46 Chambers.'

However, despite the First Division's extensive propaganda campaign for the expedition, not many people actually signed up. After all, behind this seemingly glorious Hueco Mundo expedition plan might be the eternal farewell of these Shinigami who grew up in Soul Society to their homeland. Everyone present was well aware of just how dangerous Hueco Mundo was.

'Room 46'.

"This Araki work is excellent! It far exceeds my expectations!"

"His publicity campaign is so extensive that I'm starting to think he's really planning to use the money we gave him to build a legion to take down Hueco Mundo!"

A wise man spoke with satisfaction about Araki's performance.

"I can only say that he is indeed Captain Araki; he is very reliable when it comes to doing things."
