Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

"Haven't I already killed you?"

Arturo frowned and asked the brown-haired Shinigami in front of him, Aizen.

"Oh my, I've been standing still the whole time, I haven't moved an inch!"

"Take a good look at the heart in your hand, whose heart is it really?"

After hearing Arturo's words, Aizen chuckled and said...

"Huh? This heart is obviously yours..."

As Arturo spoke, he looked at his hands, then stopped mid-sentence, unable to finish his sentence. He noticed that the corpse at his feet had somehow transformed into a headless Quincy, and the heart in his hand was, of course, the Quincy's.

Arturo was certainly familiar with the headless corpse; it was one of the three Quincy he had just killed. He was now wondering why he had confused the corpse with the brown-haired Grim Reaper.

"what's the situation?"

After thinking for a while, Arturo still had no answer and asked in great confusion.

"Hehe, before answering your question~"

"Let me first introduce my Zanpakuto, its name is Kyosuigetsu..."

"Anyone who sees my Zanpakuto, named Mirror Water Moon, unleash its power will have all five senses completely controlled by me! In other words, the me you just killed was merely an illusion I wanted you to see."

Upon hearing this, Aizen politely replied to Arturo.

"Huh? You're kidding, I don't remember ever seeing the release of your Zanpakuto."

Arturo looked at Aizen angrily.

"Heh, when did you start having the illusion that you've never seen my Zanpakuto unleash its power?"

After hearing Arturo's words, Aizen spoke with a smile.

"Um, could it be that..."

Upon hearing this, Arturo's pupils dilated sharply.

"'Hollow Sphere' is truly a wonderful place~"

"Not only do we have powerful individuals like you, but we also have incredibly abundant resources~"

"However, making this place completely my own 'Hollow Hollow' will require some effort~"

"Then, Mr. Vasto Lorde, who is unknown yet powerful, would you be willing to become my guide and help me unify the entire 'Hueco Mundo' and transform it into an invincible fortress?!"

While Arturo was still reeling from the shock, Aizen spoke to Arturo with a smile.

After arriving in Hueco Mundo, Aizen had already made his decision...

From this day forward, this place will become his 'Hueco Mundo', belonging to Aizen Sousuke.

Aizen will use the entire 'Hueco Mundo' as a springboard to reach even greater heights...

If Araki could hear Aizen's thoughts at this moment, he would surely pat Aizen's head gently with affection, and then speak softly to Aizen in a kind tone: "Silly child, this is not your 'Hollow Hollow' at all. From the very beginning, this 'Hollow Hollow' has always belonged to your teacher!"

Twelve thousand~

Chapter 156 Thirty Years in a Hurry! Araki: I already said, no.

"Is that so? In other words, as long as I choose to join you and become your ally, we can unite and unify the entire 'Hueco Mundo,' am I right?!"

After thinking for a moment, Arturo asked Aizen Sousuke in front of him.

"Of course~"

Upon hearing this, Aizen smiled faintly and spoke softly.

So what is your answer?

Aizen, with his hands behind his back, asked Arturo.

"My answer is, of course, that I decline your invitation!"

Arturo rejected Aizen without the slightest hesitation.

Can you tell me why?

Upon hearing this, Aizen showed a regretful expression and then asked Arturo a question.

"Ha ha……"

"The thing I love to do most in my life is to say no to those self-righteous guys!"

"Arturo said, raising his chin and looking down at Aizen from above. He spoke in a deep voice."

What a pity!

After receiving Arturo's reply, Aizen simply smiled faintly.

Although Aizen's words were filled with regret for Arturo's refusal of his invitation, there was not a trace of regret in his expression, as if Aizen was not too surprised by Arturo's rejection.

"So, a Vasto Lorde-level Hollow, huh?"

"I hope you can tell me the location of the other Vastod-level Hollows. I believe there will be like-minded individuals who will accept my invitation and join my team..."

After failing to invite Arturo, Aizen continued speaking to him. For Aizen, Arturo was at most one of his ideal subordinates, but not necessarily someone he wanted to bring under his control.

"Hahaha, Death! I advise you to stop daydreaming!"

"How could we Vasto Lordes, at the Vasto Lorde level, possibly submit to you mere Shinigami?!"

After hearing Aizen's words, Arturo immediately burst into laughter.

At this moment, Arturo was laughing maniacally, as if the Arturo who was defeated by Araki's absolute violence hundreds of years ago and ultimately chose to pledge allegiance to Araki was not the real him.

"haha, really?"

After hearing Arturo's words, Aizen didn't say anything more.

In fact, Aizen had already extracted the information he needed from Arturo's words.

"That guy just said, 'We Vasto Lorde-level Hollows'! So, there really is more than one Vasto Lorde-level Hollow in this vast 'Hueco Mundo'?!"

"If that's the case, perhaps the current situation in Hueco Mundo is exactly the same as what I deduced in my book 'The Record of My Experiences in Hueco Mundo,' which I wrote based on what Mr. Kuruyashiki saw and heard after his second great expedition to Hueco Mundo when I was in Seireitei..."

"Moreover, judging from the tone of this Vasto Lorde-level Hollow, the number of top-tier Hollows in Hueco Mundo seems to be quite large! Perhaps even more than the number of Vasto Lorde Hollows in Hueco Mundo when Mr. Kuchiyashiki went on his expedition! Moreover, there seems to be some kind of strange connection between these Vasto Lorde-level Hollows..."

"However, this was within my expectations. When too many top predators evolve in an ecosystem, these predators will inevitably divide up their hunting territories to avoid meaningless killing each other! The hunting territory I am in now should be the territory of this 'Waxu' in front of me."

Aizen gathered a wealth of information he needed through just a few words with Arturo, and with narrowed eyes, he began to plan his conquest and transformation of Hueco Mundo.

"call out!"

During this time, Arturo attempted to attack Aizen with Cero, but unfortunately his Cero passed right through Aizen's body and crashed into a nearby hill, exploding into fiery mushroom clouds.

"Damn hypnosis."

Upon seeing this, Arturo cursed at Aizen in front of him.

"Ara~"

"Mr. Vastod, I think I already told you, your attacks are ineffective against me."

After being interrupted by Arturo's attack, Aizen spoke to Arturo expressionlessly.

"A lowly Grim Reaper who only knows how to use underhanded tricks."

Upon seeing this, Arturo continued to hurl insults at Aizen.

"Haha~"

Aizen remained calm and composed upon hearing this. In this world, lies do not anger people; only facts and truth do.

"Whatever you want~"

"Anyway, I will absolutely, absolutely not join you."

Arturo couldn't figure out how to deal with Aizen in a short time. After spending several tens of minutes and realizing that all his abilities were ineffective against Aizen, who didn't even exist in front of him, without using his Resurrection Blade, he gave up the idea of ​​continuing to fight Aizen. As for what Aizen would do next, it was none of his business, and he didn't care at all. He just wanted to find a place to vent his bloodlust.

"No! You will..."

Upon hearing Arturo's words, Aizen revealed an incredibly confident smile.

"Huh? You're kidding, I would never marry you..."

Upon hearing Aizen's words, Arturo trembled slightly before turning around and raising his middle finger at Aizen.

Arturo has always loved the ultimate in lips, the ultimate in pleasure~

Let's wait and see!

Aizen remained calm and composed, like a precision machine that would never malfunction, or a god looking down upon all living beings. He calmly, steadily, and steadily manipulated the fate of everyone he wanted to control.

"Heh..." Arturo chuckled coldly, somewhat perfunctorily responding to Aizen, "Then let's wait and see, young Shinigami!"

After speaking, Arturo's figure completely disappeared from Aizen's sight. Clearly, Arturo didn't want to stay any longer beside this Shinigami who was speaking incoherently in front of him, giving off an eerie and unfathomable aura…

"Then, let me go explore the deepest part of Hueco Mundo next~"

After watching Arturo's figure completely disappear from his sight, Aizen looked towards the deepest part of Hueco Mundo.

"Lord Araki, your apprentice Aizen Sousuke has arrived."

At the same time, no sooner had Arturo left Aizen than he relayed the information that Aizen had arrived in Hueco Mundo to Araki, who was still in Seireitei.

"I understand. No need to worry too much about him. Just keep playing along."

"As for whether you want to join the organization founded by that brat Aizen, just do what you truly believe in. There's no need to deliberately cooperate with him. That kid is very perceptive; he'll notice if you try to cooperate intentionally."

After receiving information that Aizen had arrived in Hueco Mundo, Araki immediately relayed the news to all the generals he had recruited there.

"understand!"

Araki's generals, upon receiving Araki's orders, all gave him an unequivocal reply.

"Alright, Sousuke~"

"Lights, stage, actors, script—I've prepared everything for you!"

"You'd better put on a good show as the lead in this big drama!"

"Deep in my heart, I've always hoped that Sousuke can grow up quickly! I hope that with your efforts, your strength can soon reach a point where you can show me your sharp fangs. I truly look forward to that day..."

Araki stood in the First Division's captain's room, a slight smile playing on his lips, his eyes filled with anticipation for Aizen Sousuke. After all, once Aizen took over, he could finally enjoy his happy retirement...
