Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

"Well then, since Yin still has something to say, let's begin our plan~"

"Remember this! We will be invincible on our journey..."

As Aizen spoke, he took the lead and walked towards the interior of Hueco Mundo.

Aizen had thoroughly investigated Hueco Mundo over the past century, and he was here today to reap the rewards.

"As you command, Lord Aizen!"

After hearing Aizen's words, Yin and Kaname suddenly felt like laughing. What did he mean by "we are invincible"? How could Aizen say such shameful things without blushing or skipping a beat? If Captain-Commander Araki heard this, wouldn't he laugh himself to death? However, since they had received professional training, they held back and continued to accompany Aizen in his sermon.

After Aizen received a response from Gin and Tosen, the three immediately headed towards Las Noches...

"Plan begins! Everyone, get ready to start the show!"

Meanwhile, the Vasto Lordes within Hueco Mundo were also communicating with each other. All the high-ranking Menos Grande within Hueco Mundo were prepared to play along with Aizen's act; this was Araki's love for Aizen, creating a Truman Show specifically for him.

I've written 10,000 words in a long update, but I'm still not feeling well. I'm so dizzy.

Chapter 171 Aizen's First 'Espada'! Araki: No

Xuye Palace.

The palace where Barragan, the emperor of the western Hueco Mundo, resides.

"What the heck is this tacky architectural style?"

The moment Aizen stood before this palace, he was deeply shocked by what he saw. The magnificent and resplendent feeling was like that of a third-rate nobleman in the Soul Society who suddenly became rich. Fearing that others would look down on him for being poor as before, he specially rebuilt his clan's estate according to the specifications of the mansions of the five great noble families. However, before he had even built half of it, he found that he did not have enough money and ended up doing it hastily, resulting in a half-finished product.

"Pfft, that's so lame..."

Gin Ichimaru couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.

"..."

Only Tosen stood there, bewildered.

There's nothing we can do; he's blind, after all.

"Alright, let's go in and take a look!"

After a moment of silence, Aizen addressed Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tosen beside him.

"As you command, Aizen-sama."

Upon hearing this, Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tōsen nodded slightly to Aizen, and the two followed closely behind him into the magnificent palace.

When the three entered the palace, they naturally saw the neon lights that decorated the entire palace, and the black skeleton sitting on the decaying throne, wearing a golden crown.

"You must be King Barragán?"

Aizen looked at the skeletons before him and asked a question.

Although Aizen's tone was questioning, his confident manner clearly indicated that he was certain the skeleton sitting on the throne was indeed Barragan Ruizen.

"Call me Your Majesty the Emperor!"

"You rude bastards..."

Upon hearing Aizen's words, the skeleton on the throne seemed to stir slightly; a shimmering, glassy light suddenly flickered in its dark eye sockets...

Clearly, the sleeping king had slowly awoke from his leisurely afternoon nap due to the arrival of Aizen and the others.

"Your Majesty the Emperor? You?"

After hearing what Barlergan said, Tosen Kaname spoke with a hint of disdain.

"Judging from your appearance, you must be the Grim Reapers, right?"

"Since you're wearing white captain's haori, then you must be captains of the 'Gotei 13'?"

"What brings you captains of the Gotei 13 to my Hueco Mundo? Answer me, Shinigami!"

Barragan ignored Tosen Kaname. He sat high on his throne, silently looking at Aizen and the others below him, and asked in a cold voice.

"It seems you know a lot about our Grim Reaper system."

After hearing Barragan's words, Gin Ichimaru said with a grin.

“A long, long time ago, I also encountered a Shinigami dressed in a white haori who visited my palace. That guy seemed to be the commander of the 'Hueco Mundo' expeditionary force. He was an incredibly cunning fellow who escaped before I could even make a move…”

Barragan said coldly to Ichimaru Gin.

"Captain Aizen, this guy in front of us seems to be one of the Vasto Lorde-level Hollows that Kuruyashiki-senpai encountered when he visited Hueco Mundo~"

After hearing Barragan's words, Gin Ichimaru suddenly looked enlightened.

Because Kuruyashiki's "Hollow Hollow Chronicles" is one of the textbooks used by students at the Shinigami Academy, Kuruyashiki's name is quite well-known in Soul Society. All students who have graduated from the Shinigami Academy know that Kuruyashiki has ventured into Hueco Mundo and encountered many powerful Menos Grande in various forms.

“Gin, of course I know that…”

Aizen smiled and nodded after hearing Gin's words.

"King of Hueco Mundo! Do you desire even greater power?"

Aizen continued looking at Barragan, smiling as he extended his hand.

"Even stronger power? Hahahaha..."

"They're just a few ants, do they really think they're dragons?!"

"I've seen far too many guys like you over the years..."

"Back when I was still a Great Emperor of Hueco Mundo, I had already killed countless people!"

“Yesterday alone, no fewer than fifty-six self-righteous fellows like you have died in this palace of mine.”

Barragan looked at Aizen and spoke with unparalleled arrogance.

"Pfft, Lord Aizen, this guy said he killed a whopping fifty-six people as powerful as you yesterday~"

After hearing Barragan's words, Gin Ichimaru laughed.

"Lord Aizen, please let me teach this arrogant fool a lesson!"

Tosen needs to see if Aizen will apply to fight.

"Teach me a lesson?"

"ridiculous!!"

“You know nothing about true power…”

Before Aizen could speak, Barragan had already stood up from his throne, brandishing his giant axe and attacking Aizen and the others.

"Under my godlike power to control the aging of all things, your meager strength is utterly laughable, like that of ants..."

As Barragan finished speaking, a howling black wave of energy was released from his body, almost instantly engulfing Aizen, Tosen, and Gin.

"boom!"

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying spiritual pressure surged into the sky, leaving a crater about one hundred meters in diameter on the floor of Hueco Mundo.

"Ok?"

Barragán stopped, staring at the large crater in front of him, his expression slightly taken aback.

"a ha ha ha……"

"They really are just a bunch of smooth talkers."

"I used less than a tenth of my power, and your corpses were completely obliterated?! And you still dare to spout nonsense in front of me? How laughable, how laughable..."

After laughing for a while, Barragan seemed to find it boring. He carried the axe in his hand and walked towards his throne, as if he thought that the attack just now was enough to destroy Aizen and the others.

"Bailergang, are you in such a hurry to go back?"

However, just as Barragan stood before the throne, preparing to turn and sit down, Aizen's voice suddenly rang out behind him once again.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Barragan turned around and looked at Aizen, Tosen, and Gin Ichimaru, who were unharmed. A flicker of flame appeared in his eye sockets.

"what on earth is it?"

"You should have already been killed by me..."

Barragán asked, puzzled.

"That's just your imagination!"

"Barragan, this is my Zanpakuto, Kyōsuigetsu..."

"Anyone who falls under my Mirror Moon spell will have their five senses forever under my control! In other words, Barragán, you have already lost!"

Aizen drew his Zanpakuto from his waist, pointed it at Barragan, and sneered.

"Are you kidding..."

Upon hearing Aizen's words, Barragan was immediately filled with rage.

"Bailagan, your aging can't be controlled indefinitely, can it?"

"The evidence is the ground beneath your feet and the throne you've sat on for so long—neither has been corrupted by your power! In other words, you are not invincible..."

"Ballegane, think it over carefully! Submit to me, and I will grant you the abilities of an Arrancar. I can give you power comparable to Arturo Pratidoo!"

Aizen looked at Barragan and spoke calmly.

"You're saying I'm inferior to Arturo?!"

Upon hearing this, Barragan roared at Aizen.

"If you were truly stronger than Arturo, you wouldn't have been able to so easily steal the title of the Void King, would you?"

Aizen looked at Barragan and smiled.

"You guy..."

Upon hearing this, Barragán clenched his fists in anger.

Yes, just as Aizen said, it was because that bastard Arturo stole his throne that he changed his title from Hueco Mundo King to the Great Emperor of Hueco Mundo.

"I hope you won't fool this emperor, or I will make you pay the price!"

After speaking, Barragán sat down on the throne in utter dejection. At this moment, Barragán looked every bit the aging king who had lost the competition with the new king and was gradually becoming lonely.
