Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

Upon hearing the sound, Rhodes instinctively looked up.

"what?"

What caught Rhodes's eye was a white knee.

"boom!"

Rhodes had no time to dodge. He was instantly struck hard in the head by the white knee. His brain churned for a moment, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground, unable to continue fighting.

"Ku-nan White?!"

Hirako Shinji frowned deeply as he watched the white figure suddenly enter the battlefield.

The current situation has completely exceeded Hirako's expectations. First, Kensei Muguruma turned into a Hollow form, and then Shiro Kunan also turned into a Hollow form. If this is the case, perhaps they are also at risk of being infected by this mysterious virus...

"We must fight quickly!"

At that moment, Hirako Shinji made his decision.

"The Sixty-Two Hundred-Step Binding Barrier! The Sixty-Three Chains Binding..."

Just as Hirako Shinji was considering whether to unleash his Zanpakuto, accompanied by a chant, countless railings descended from the sky, instantly suppressing Kunan Shiro to the spot...

Then, golden chains sealed off Kensei's body, completely binding his limbs and forcing him to land on the ground.

"I apologize, captains, I'm late..."

"The captains' Instant Step is just too fast; I can't keep up for a while."

The newcomer was none other than Yushōda Hachigen, the vice-chief of the Ghost Dao. He was panting heavily as he wiped the sweat from his forehead. With a wave of his hand, he used two 60th-level binding techniques to immobilize Kensei and Kunan Haku, the two captains.

"So it was Hatsugen Akita!"

"Thank goodness you came, I'm saved!"

Hirako breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Shōda Hachigen was there.

At the same time, Hirako was secretly shocked by the Kido strength of Hachigen Yushoda. The Sixtieth Division's Binding Spell could be released without chanting, and after being released, it could suppress Shinigami at the captain level. This Kido strength that was unparalleled in the world was indeed well-deserved, and he was worthy of the title of Vice Kido Master...

"Huh? Could these two be Captain Six and Vice Captain Jiu Nanbai?"

"What happened to them? How did things get like this..."

After resting for a while, Hachigen Ushōda suddenly realized that the two people he had controlled with his Binding Spell were actually Kensei Muguruma, the captain of the 9th Division, and his vice-captain, Haku Nami, who had been judged by the Seireitei to have completely lost their spiritual pressure.

For a moment, Hachigen Yuzaki became confused. He didn't believe that Kensei Muguruma and Shiro Kunan were their enemies. Clearly, the real enemy had not yet appeared...

"I don't know either. They were already like this when we arrived. Anyway, let's take them back first and let Kisuke Urahara and Captain Retsu Uno take a good look at Kensei's current condition..."

After hearing what Hachigen Ushōda said, Shinji Hirako gently shook his head. He didn't know exactly what was going on. In short, what they needed to do now was to capture Kensei Muguruma and Shiro Kunan and bring them back. As for what to do after they were captured, that was up to Captain-Commander Araki to figure out...

"That's all we can do for now..."

After listening to Hirako Shinji's words, Hachigen Yuzōda nodded slightly. Just as Hirako said, they had no other choice but to take Kensei Muguruma and Shiro Kunan back to Seireitei for treatment.

"It hurts..."

On the other side, after Hachigen Ushōda used his powerful Kidō to successfully suppress Kensei Mugurumaru and Haku Kunan, Risa Yagami, Rabu Aikawa, and Rojuro Ootori (also known as Rhodes), who had been lying on the ground, slowly got up.

"You guys, wake up! Get ready to go home!"

When Hirako found that his companions were all alright, he resumed his cheerful and carefree self, bringing a sense of ease to everyone present.

"Haha, Hirako, you're quite the talker!"

"Just how many tricks have you been hiding in your past sparring matches?!"

Aikawa Luo rubbed his lower back and complained helplessly to Hirako Shinji, the only captain among them who seemed relatively composed.

"Haha, how should I put this?"

Hirako smiled slightly after hearing what Aikawa Rao said.

In fact, in his past battles with Aikawa Rao and others, Hirako had never been able to go all out. After all, his Zanpakuto wasn't suited for one-on-one combat. If possible, Hirako preferred fighting multiple enemies alone, as this allowed him to fully utilize the Bankai capabilities of his Zanpakuto.

"So, can we go back now?"

Lisa stretched her long, beautiful legs and looked at Hirako, asking a question.

"certainly……"

Hirako nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"Roar!!"

Just as Hirako nodded, another sudden change occurred. Kensei Muguruma, who had been held in place by Hachigen Ushōda, suddenly roared and unleashed his kakujin spiritual pressure, forcefully breaking free from the golden chains surrounding him.

"what?!"

This sudden turn of events caused everyone present to change their expressions.

"Fight back!"

In an instant, everyone decided to suppress Kensei Muguruma once again.

"Shh..."

However, the instant after Hirako Shinji, Ushōda Hachigen, Yagami Riza, Aikawa Raibu, and Rhodes reached a consensus, endless darkness suddenly attacked them from behind.

"what?!"

For a moment, whether it was Aikawa Rabu, Hirako Shinji, or Ushōda Hachigen, they all lost their hearing, sight, smell, and even their sense of spiritual pressure.

"Hirako! Rose! Lisa..."

"Damn it! What on earth happened?!"

Aikawa Rao shouted loudly, his eyes flashing with endless anxiety.

"puff……"

However, the response Aikawa received was not from his companions, but from a Zanpakuto that pierced through his chest, filling Aikawa Rabu's heart with endless pain.

"how come?"

Aikawa Luowu's expression suddenly changed, blood kept gushing from his mouth, and his eyes were filled with despair.

"Shh!"

Before long, the darkness receded like a tide.

As the darkness faded, all that remained were the captains who had been hacked to the ground. Whether it was Aikawa Rōbu, Rōz, or even Yūshōda Hachigen and Yagōmaru Lisa, they were all hacked to the ground, their eyes rolled back, and they had completely lost consciousness.

"Damn it, damn it..."

"what on earth is it?!"

For a moment, only Hirako Shinji stood on the battlefield, looking at his fallen comrades, feeling at a loss.

"Let me go, Hirako..."

Just then, Hiyori, who had been held in Hirako's arms, suddenly sensed something. She used all her strength to break free from Hirako's embrace and then, in front of Hirako, vomited out countless white, viscous substances. These white substances quickly solidified in the air, forming a bone-like mask on Hiyori's cheek.

"Roar!!"

It was at this moment that Kensei Rokugaku, who had broken free of his restraints, glared fiercely at Shinji Hirako. The completely intangible Kensei Rokugaku seemed to be acting entirely on instinct. He did not directly attack Shinji Hirako, but instead smashed the Binding Path that Hachigen Ushōda had used to suppress Haku Kunan with a single punch.

"Roar!!!"

In an instant, Kensei Muguruma, Shiro Kunan, and Hiyori, having completely lost their minds due to their Hollowfication, transformed into beasts and monsters, glaring fiercely at Shinji Hirako, the only one who appeared to be unharmed.

"Hey, hey, hey, please have mercy on me!"

"Hiyori, please don't cause me any more trouble at a time like this!!"

Shinji Hirako looked at Kensei Muguruma, Shiro Kunan, and Hiyori, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Kensei Muguruma in his Hollowfied form was already enough to give him a hard time, but now three of them had come at once. Wasn't this going to kill him?!

"Roar!!"

Just as Hirako Shinji was feeling extremely troubled, Aikawa Rabu, Lisa, Rose, and Ushōda Hachigen, who had been lying on the ground and knocked down by something, also began to vomit white substances and let out roars that sounded like those of 'Great Hollows'.

"Isn't it?!"

Hirako Shinji's pupils contracted slightly as he looked at the group that roared at the same time. It was already enough for him to face a captain and two high-ranking vice-captains alone. With the addition of Luo Wu, Lisa, and Rose, even though he was a level stronger than the others, he couldn't withstand it!

"This is really going to be a real ordeal for me!"

After crying out helplessly, Hirako began to think calmly.

“If I were to report what’s happening here to the Seireitei right now, Captain-Commander Araki would undoubtedly release that madman Kenpachi Zaraki…”

"Given Kenpachi's madman nature, he'll probably consider everyone here, including Kensei, as enemies who pose a threat to Soul Society and slaughter them all, right?! In other words, I have to clean up this mess all by myself before Seireitei notices that Rhodes and the others' spiritual pressure has disappeared..."

"This is really causing me a lot of trouble!"

Shinji Hirako wiped the cold sweat from his forehead; he felt immense pressure at that moment.

"No! Perhaps I'm not fighting alone right now. Maybe I can ask Kisuke Urahara for help. That guy is always full of ingenious ideas; maybe he really does have a way to deal with the mutations that have happened to Kensei and the others..."

After a brief moment of thought, Hirako Shinji finally made up his mind.

"Anyway, before informing Urahara, we need to calm these guys down first! Since it's a team battle, Kensei, Rhodes, I won't hold back~"

"Swastika · The Evil Eight Treasures Plug!"

As Hirako Shinji spoke, he directly activated his Zanpakuto's Bankai in front of his former comrades. A strange fragrance emanated from Hirako Shinji and spread outwards. A beautiful Nadeshiko flower slowly bloomed behind Hirako, forming a pedestal large enough for one person to stand on. Hirako flashed and stood on the pedestal, then quietly looked at his Hollowfied comrades.

"Roar!!"

The next second, something amazing happened. The group of Hollowfied captains who had been eyeing Hirako Shinji with predatory intent suddenly roared after Hirako released his Bankai. Then, right in front of Hirako, they began to fight each other and kill one another.

"Then what happens next..."

After dealing with the group of Hollowfied companions in front of him, Hirako Shinji bit the finger of his right hand and then drew a series of totems on his arm.

"The Seventy-Seven Heavens of Binding the Way of the Void!"

Hirako Shinji immediately used the Ten-Ting Kongo technique, attempting to convey the current situation to Urahara Kisuke.

"Well then, Urahara-kun, please hurry up and get here!"

"You must arrive here and rescue Kensei and the others before they've finished their fight and before the Seireitei discovers what's happening here. I don't want to live with the 'guilt' of killing my comrades!"

After releasing Ten-Ting Kong-Luo, Hirako Shinji showed an expression of extreme pain.

The captain's room of the 12th Division.

"What? Kensei and the others didn't die, but their bodies showed characteristics similar to 'Hollowfieds'. There's no mistake, it's the Hollowfication of Shinigami. Someone conducted Hollowfication experiments on Shinigami in the Seireitei! Who could be so depraved?"
