Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

The bursts of laughter caused a slight change in Kuruyashiki's expression.

"So, I didn't chop it into small pieces enough?!"

"Then let's wipe out all those white guys you summoned, leaving not even a single spirit particle!"

As Zaraki spoke, a terrifying spiritual pressure suddenly erupted from his body.

A terrifying spiritual pressure shot straight into the sky, forming a huge pillar of spiritual pressure that blew all the white Pac-Man figures on his body into the air. At this moment, Zaraki also completed his Shikai.

"Devour, wild sun!!"

As Zaraki finished speaking, the Zanpakuto in his hand vanished without a trace, replaced by a strange Zanpakuto with a long hilt, shaped like an axe, and a blade the size of a door panel.

Although the Zanpakuto's shape was incredibly peculiar, no one present underestimated its power. After all, the spiritual pressure emanating from Zaraki at that moment was undeniable.

"Turn to dust!"

With a shout, Zaraki gripped his massive axe and swung it fiercely towards the sky.

The terrifying blade light covered the entire sky of the Seireitei, and the forty-odd white Pac-Man creatures that Zaraki had thrown into the sky beforehand had vanished without a trace! Just as Zaraki had said, these monsters summoned by Kuruyashiki had all turned into dust.

"Oh my god! This guy actually managed to turn all my Shikai into spirit particles?!"

Looking at his Zanpakuto, which had been forcibly transformed into its Shikai form, Kuruyashiki was speechless for a moment.

When he fought Zaraki, he had already imagined that someone like Zaraki, who simply pursued power and combat, might have an outrageously powerful Zanpakuto. However, Kuruyashiki never expected that Zaraki's Zanpakuto would be this powerful!

Is this still a Shikai? Even the Bankai of some of the Shinigami in the Gotei 13 doesn't have this kind of power, right?! Although it seems a bit inappropriate for him to say this, since the power of his Zanpakuto's Shikai is already outrageous in the eyes of some of the captains of the Gotei 13, it's just even more outrageous.

"..."

Meanwhile, a teenager with short brown hair looked at Zaraki's Zanpakuto with a silent look of envy.

"What astonishing destructive power! This knife is not just a simple direct attack weapon..."

"A Zanpakuto that can even enhance the user's abilities to some extent? This guy is really lucky!"

"If I were to use this Zanpakuto, perhaps I wouldn't need to devise such a complicated plan."

The brown-haired teenager spoke softly to himself.

"Hey! Do you have any other tricks up your sleeve?"

At this moment, after Zaraki's Shikai, he easily broke Kuruyashiki's Shikai with a single strike. Carrying his giant battle axe after his Shikai, he asked Kuruyashiki in front of him.

After Zaraki's Shikai, he didn't bother to retract it. If Kushikaki didn't have any other moves, he planned to end the battle quickly...

"Other tricks?"

After hearing what Zaraki said, Kuruyashiki gave a helpless, bitter smile.

Kuruyashiki, of course, understood Zaraki's meaning; he intended for him to unleash Bankai. After all, under normal circumstances, Bankai represents a Shinigami's ultimate technique with their Zanpakuto! But the problem was…

He can't use his Bankai in Seireitei! His Bankai is too powerful, and he hasn't controlled it properly at all. So if he were to use it, the entire Seireitei, along with the Gotei 13, would probably be completely destroyed.

"no yet?"

"Let's end this then! This battle that gave me a slight sense of satisfaction..."

After seeing the helpless expression on Kuruyashiki's face, Zaraki sighed.

At this moment, Senki felt somewhat disappointed. Since Kuruyashiki was no longer alive, it was time to end this battle.

"I think……"

Upon hearing this, Kuruyashiki nodded. He was ready to concede defeat, since his Shikai had already been broken by Zaraki, and he no longer had the ability to continue fighting Zaraki.

"Hey everyone, you're all here!"

Just as Kuruyashiki was about to concede defeat, a calm voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

"Um?!"

However, this seemingly ordinary sentence attracted the attention of everyone present.

When everyone saw the handsome young man with a smile who had appeared above them at some unknown time, they were all stunned at first. Then, they all bowed respectfully to the figure and greeted him, saying, "Greetings, Captain Araki!"

Yes, the young man in the air was none other than Captain Araki, who had just finished and looked refreshed.

Before Araki could say anything more, the team members greeted the beautiful woman with long, black hair beside him, saying, "Greetings, Captain Uno!"

"Um……"

Araki simply nodded in response to the greetings from the team members.

"You're welcome!"

Meanwhile, the woman standing beside Araki, Uji, was radiant, like a beautiful peony that had just absorbed enough nutrients. She exuded elegance and grace, and smiled kindly at everyone present.

"Greetings, Araki-sensei! Greetings, Mrs. Uno!"

After the soldiers of the First Company greeted Araki and Ueno, Kyoraku and the others immediately bowed to Araki and Ueno as well.

"No need to be polite!"

This time, Araki said a few more words.

Meanwhile, Uo, standing beside Araki, smiled gently at everyone.

"They're fighting?!"

Before anyone could finish speaking, Araki went directly to the sides of Kuruyashiki and Zaraki and asked them a question.

"Captain Araki..."

Kuruyashiki seemed about to say something.

"The fight is over!"

However, before he could say anything more, Gengmu explained the current situation in just three words.

"I won!"

Then, Zaraki added three more words to explain the result of the match.

"You can't really have a good fight here!"

"I borrowed the 'Transcendental Gate' from Wang Yue! I'll take you to a place where you can fight to your heart's content..."

As Araki spoke, he lightly snapped his fingers in front of everyone, and instantly a door radiating endless light appeared before them.

"Let's go~"

As the gate opened, Araki was the first to enter.

"A battle to your heart's content?!"

After hearing Araki's words, Kuruyashiki and Zaraki were taken aback at first, and then followed Araki into the 'Transcendental Gate'.

"Huh? The captains left?"

"Shouldn't we go and check it out too?"

As Araki, along with Kuroyashiki and Zaraki, left using the 'Hypergate', the members of the 'Eleventh Division' who were present also became curious about the gate in front of them. Everyone followed the three of them and entered the gate.

After everyone passed through the gate, they were stunned by the scene before them. They had long since left the Soul Society and arrived in a world shrouded in darkness. The spiritual energy here was far superior to that of the Soul Society, and the laws of survival here were far more brutal! This is…

"'Hueco Mundo'! We've actually arrived in 'Hueco Mundo'?!"

Some of the more experienced team members recognized exactly where they were in a very short time!

"What? We've actually arrived in Hueco Mundo in an instant? Are you kidding me..."

"You must have made a mistake?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked and then questioned the person who had spoken.

"I just came back from here, how could I have mistaken you for someone else!"

Upon hearing this, the man immediately roared at the crowd.

Yes, this knowledgeable person was none other than Ashido, the vice commander of the expeditionary force who had just left Hueco Mundo and returned to Soul Society.

"Forehead……"

When everyone saw that the speaker was Asido, they immediately shut up.

They knew Ashido's identity and that he had just returned to Soul Society from Hueco Mundo.

"Hehe, I didn't expect to end up in Hueco Mundo. We've really gone on a long trip!"

"But now that I'm in Hueco Mundo, I can finally let loose."

Kuruyashiki was naturally very familiar with this place, and after confirming that he had returned to Hueco Mundo, he showed a bright smile.

"Heh, going all out, huh?! Interesting!"

After hearing what Kuruyashiki said, Zaraki also laughed wildly.

"This is 'Hueco Mundo'!"

As for the brown-haired boy who had also passed through the 'Transcendental Gate', he revealed a meaningful look at this moment.

the other side……

In the special viewing area above Araki's Claymore, an old man with graying hair, almost balding, was stroking his increasingly long beard, quietly watching the confrontation between Kuroyashiki and Zaraki below.

"Araki, are these two guys down there the most outstanding young talents in Soul Society in recent years?!"

The old man asked Araki.

"Teacher Huiyuan Liuzhai, while not the most outstanding, is certainly quite excellent."

Upon hearing this, Araki immediately replied respectfully to the old man.

However, Araki left out half a sentence: "The most outstanding one in our Soul Society in recent years is currently down there, sneakily observing the structure of Hueco Mundo. Yes, that brat with brown hair and a rebellious spirit!"

And this middle-aged man whom Araki called Genryusai was none other than Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, the former captain of the Gotei 13, who had been invited by Araki to watch a show at the Spirit Arts Academy.

"Ha ha……"

"Under my tutelage, the Soul Society is flourishing even more!"

Upon hearing Araki's words, Genryusai immediately revealed a satisfied smile.

"You old man, you really have no shame..."

Araki simply chuckled at this.
