Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

If Kuruyashiki wanted, Araki would simply let him leave the 'First Division' and generously recommend him to be the captain of the 'Gotei 13' squad that currently doesn't have a captain.

"I dare not even dream of becoming a captain in another division! I only wish to serve Captain-Commander Araki."

To everyone's surprise, after hearing Araki's words, Kuruyashiki shook his head. He had come to Seireitei because of Araki, and naturally he would not leave for a better future or a higher position.

"In that case, you'll be a captain in my 'First Division' special forces!"

Araki nodded slightly after hearing what Kuruyashiki said.

"Thank you, Captain-Commander Araki!" Kuruyashiki first expressed his gratitude to Araki, and then continued, "But Kuruyashiki has one more request, and I hope Captain-Commander Araki can grant it!"

"Tell me……"

"As long as it doesn't violate any principles, I will try my best to help you."

After hearing what Kuruyashiki said, Araki casually waved his hand, indicating that Kuruyashiki could speak freely.

"I hope you can allow me to become the captain of the 'Hueco Mundo' expeditionary force, to go to 'Hueco Mundo' and slay the Hollows for you, in exchange for unparalleled glory!"

As Araki finished speaking, the kneeling Kuriyashiki began to speak loudly.

"The 'Hollow Sphere' Expeditionary Force?!"

Araki narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing what Kuruyashiki said.

Well, during this past month, Araki has been either teaching (or disciplining) Saito the immortality or honing his swordsmanship with Uno Retsu. As for the Hueco Mundo expeditionary force, Araki has long forgotten about it...

As for the 'Central 46', they didn't dare to ask unless Araki spoke up. Besides, a month was still within the '46's' tolerance range, so they didn't send anyone to collect the debt.

Moreover, even if the '46 Chambers' sent people, these debt collectors wouldn't be able to get into the 'First Division' captain's office! Although the soldiers Araki trained couldn't defeat the Kuruyashiki, they were more than capable of defeating these '46 Chambers' trained assassins.

"It's kind of you to remember this..."

"In that case, from today onwards, you will be the captain of the 2nd Division of the 'Gotei 1', the Special Attack Squad against Hollows! At the same time, I hereby order you to become the commander-in-chief of the 'Hollow Colosseum' Expeditionary Force for the Second Great 'Hollow Colosseum' Expedition we are organizing, and to be fully responsible for the selection of the 'Hollow Colosseum' Expeditionary Force..."

"Kuruyashiki, I think you should know that I was in charge of the first Hueco Mundo expedition! I was also the commander of that expeditionary force! Under my leadership, the members of the Eleventh Division fought bravely. They not only killed one Hollow after another, but also took this opportunity to surpass themselves and complete their transformation!"

"And the members of the 'First Division' right now are the original members of the 'Eleventh Division'! Even now, these comrades from the expeditionary force have always followed me, serving me as my right and left arms."

Araki looked at Kuruyashiki and his thoughts seemed to drift back to the past. He told Kuruyashiki about his past when he formed the expeditionary force.

"Do you understand what I'm saying, Kuriyashiki?!"

Immediately after Araki finished explaining his thoughts, he didn't forget to ask Kuruyashiki a question.

"Commander-in-Chief Araki, I understand..."

"You mean I should not rely on your prestige and should build a completely new expeditionary force on my own! This trip to Hueco Mundo is not just about killing Hollows, but more about training my troops!"

After hearing Araki's words, Kuruyashiki immediately responded.

"Haha, this child is teachable!"

Araki smiled faintly after hearing what Kuruyashiki said.

"Alright, you can go now! Let me see your ability to build an army!"

"Kuruyashiki, remember this: in this 'Seireitei,' power alone is not enough; you also need to possess the personal charisma to make your subordinates submit to you."

Araki casually pointed out a point to Kuruyashiki, and then said nothing more.

There's only so much to say; any more would be inappropriate...

"Thank you for the guidance, Captain Araki."

After speaking, Kuruyashiki disappeared from Araki's sight.

"..."

Araki watched as Kuruyashiki's figure disappeared from the 'First Division' captain's room before asking the empty room, "How many people are currently in Kuruyashiki's 'Hueco Mundo' expeditionary force?!"

"There are only two in total. One is Kuruyashiki, and the other seems to be called Asito."

After Araki finished speaking, Saito, who was being punished by Araki and was now immortal and dressed in a black and white maid outfit, poked her little head out from the back hall of the captain's room and looked at Araki as he spoke.

"There are only two people in total?"

Araki smiled slightly upon hearing this. He was now somewhat curious whether Kuruyashiki could truly assemble an army capable of conquering Hueco Mundo.

"However, these two people are both quite influential."

"Hehe, it seems to have some merit..."

At the same time, Araki muttered to himself.

Kuruyashiki needs no introduction; his strength ranks among the top of all the Kenpachi series, and he has now become a squad leader in Araki's First Division...

Although Kuruyashiki's status might be slightly worse than his original fate, he did change the fact that he would be killed by his next Kenpachi, Azajo Kenpachi, through trickery.

As for Ashido, he's a ruthless guy who dared to fight Adjuchas without even releasing his Zanpakuto. Isn't that much better than some captain who took down several Killian after Hollowfication?!

"If we can really get Kuruyashiki to assemble a competent expeditionary force, they might actually cause some trouble for Barragan and his people in Hueco Mundo!"

"Then the expeditionary force can train with the Great Void Legion of Barragán, and those who survive will become true powerhouses..."

Araki was currently designing the script for this 'Hueco Mundo' expedition in his mind.

The greatest terror lies between life and death; only true war can forge the strongest...

Whether they are Hollows or Death itself, the battlefield is their only refuge.

Only when these people become powerful enough can the world become stable enough.

It must be said that Araki, as the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13, has truly made tremendous efforts for the stability and prosperity of the three realms...

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Araki's plan to have Kuruyashiki organize the 'Hueco Mundo' expeditionary force was actually successfully achieved by Kuruyashiki.

At this moment, the 'Central 46th Bureau,' which had always remained calm and collected, finally panicked.

'Central 46th Room'.

"No, didn't Araki tell us that this so-called expedition to 'Hueco Mundo' was just a pretext to make everyone make money off the 'Five Great Nobles'?! Why is Araki actually going to do it for real?"

A wise man clutched his splitting head and cried out in pain.

"Isn't that right? Didn't Araki tell us that he might not have the ability to exterminate Void Spirits, but he certainly had the ability to make money under the guise of exterminating Void Spirits?!"

"As it turns out, that bastard Araki has been withholding money from us for years. When we finally asked him for it, he turned around and told us that he really wanted to take down this guy. Don't you think that's fraud?"

As soon as the sage finished speaking, he was immediately echoed by the crowd.

"People's hearts have changed! People's hearts have truly changed..."

"We agreed that we'd all make money together!"

"So after you took our money, you actually planned to get it done?!"

"Damn it, my money! Give us back our money!!"

On that day, the wails of the sages echoed continuously within the 'Forty-Six Chambers'.

If you listen carefully, you can hear some sages shouting to the sky: "Araki, pay me back!!"

"Araki, you bastard! You've taken back all the hard-earned money that we, the '46th Chamber,' painstakingly squeezed from the wandering spirits at the bottom of 'Wandering Soul Street'!"

At this moment, 'Room 46' was roaring incessantly.

In response, Araki stated...

"This money will definitely be returned, but when, how, and in what way it should be returned to you are all up to me!"

Araki has always been an upright and honest man; he will definitely return the money to the '46 Chambers'.

However, when and where to repay the money is entirely up to him.

In response, Araki shouted loudly to the sages of the 'Forty-Six Chambers': "Listen up, all of you in the 'Forty-Six Chambers' who want me to repay the money! The money I owe you is real, so go to the 'Spirit King Palace'! I've left all the money I owe you there!"

Second update! It's too late, I'm exhausted, and my eyes are too tired to keep open. Goodnight everyone!

Chapter 138 Araki: Aizen, I never...

On the eve of the departure of the 'Hollow Circle' expeditionary force.

Araki, Kuruyashiki, and Kuruyashiki's second-in-command, Asido, stood side by side on the makeshift stage erected by the 'First Division' members...

Originally, Kuruyashiki intended to give the central position among the three to Araki to show Araki's noble status, since Araki was the strongest and highest-ranking among the three. However, Araki refused Kuruyashiki's request...

Araki, arguing that the main characters today were not himself, but rather the Kuriyashiki and the expeditionary force, had Kuriyashiki stand in the center of the three, while Araki willingly played a supporting role, standing to Kuriyashiki's right.

At this moment, Araki and his two companions faced the Hueco Mundo expeditionary force directly before them...

For a moment, all three seemed to have something to say, giving the soldiers a pre-battle pep talk.

"Commander, the soldiers are all watching you, say a few words, please!"

Araki, with his hands behind his back, looked at the group of spirited expeditionary soldiers below the stage, smiled slightly, and then spoke softly to Kuruyashiki beside him.

"Captain Araki, you're joking."

"I grew up in 'Wandering Souls Street'! I don't know many words and I'm not very cultured! Faced with such a grand occasion, I don't know what I should say to the team members. How about this, Captain Araki, you speak for me at today's mobilization meeting?"

After hearing Araki's words, Kuruyashiki smiled slightly.

Although he did want to express his excitement to the team members below the stage...

However, considering that Captain Araki was watching him at the moment, after thinking for a long time, he finally decided to let Captain Araki take his place as the spokesperson for this mobilization meeting.

"Ha ha……"

"In that case, I won't be polite."

After hearing what Kuruyashiki said, Araki first smiled slightly, and then agreed to Kuruyashiki's request.

Araki, hands behind his back, walked to the front of the group of soldiers from the expeditionary force and addressed them loudly: "The wind rises, the clouds fly, where can we find brave warriors to roam the four corners of the earth! We must go to Hueco Mundo to exterminate the Hollows! It is something we must do at any time, we cannot afford not to! Think about it carefully, how many helpless souls in this world have been devoured by Hollows? How many brave warriors have died under the bites of the Great Hollows! Therefore, for us Shinigami of the Soul Society..."

"...In this world, only days without Hollows are truly peaceful! Only days without Hollows are the days we Shinigami strive for day and night! Go, go to Hueco Mundo! Go and prove yourselves, my dear Shinigami, you are the true heroes of Soul Society!!!"

"it is good!!"

As Araki finished speaking, Kuruyashiki was the first to clap his hands vigorously.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's give them a round of applause!"

Acidho was the second to applaud...
