Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

"Underfoot?"

Jiba looked somewhat puzzled and subconsciously looked down at himself.

Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tōsen, who were originally beside Aizen, had somehow arrived at the feet of 'Kitomo'. Their Zanpakutō were now resting on the neck of a Hollow, which was the same size as a brown bear and looked exactly like 'Kitomo'.

"Don't move, little 'Kiba'~"

Gin Ichimaru looked up and smiled as he looked at 'Kiba,' who had finally noticed the footsteps of him after Aizen's reminder.

"Let him go..."

Upon seeing this, 'Jiba' was furious.

"If I'm not mistaken, when you wreaked havoc in Soul Society more than nine hundred years ago using Yhwach, the way you escaped from the Soul King Palace was by using your ability to split yourself, throwing your core into Soul Society!"

"When Araki-sensei was ordered to go to Hueco Mundo to hunt you down, you used your ability to split indefinitely to hide your main body underground, which is how you escaped Araki-sensei's pursuit. Am I right? But if I were to kill your clones, would you still be so calm? Answer me, 'I am I... I am I... I am I...'"

Aizen looked at the 'Kitomo' beneath him and asked calmly.

"What do you want, Death?"

"Kiba" looked at Aizen in front of him and asked angrily.

"Your loyalty..."

Aizen spoke the truth.

"What can you give me, Death?"

Upon hearing this, 'Kiba' continued to ask Aizen.

"I grant you the power to continue evolving, and lead you back to the Soul Society to attack the Soul King's Palace! This throne of heaven has been vacant for far too long, occupied by a false entity. From this day forward, I will stand atop the sky! Alright, become my subordinate! I will grant you everything you desire..."

Aizen reached out his hand to 'Kiba' once again.

"Interesting! Young Grim Reaper, I'll see how far you can go..."

"However, since you seem to know so much about Araki and the 'Spirit King Palace,' let me give you a heads-up! Araki and the royal agents of the 'Zero Squad' are not the useless 'Gotei 13.' One wrong move and you could end up like me a thousand years ago, dying without a burial place! Sleeping alone in the darkness for nearly a thousand years..."

'Kiba' looked at Aizen and gave him his advice.

"Let's wait and see!"

Upon hearing this, Aizen revealed an incredibly confident smile.

"Wait and see? Hahaha, well said, wait and see..."

'Jiba' continued to laugh loudly, his laughter like thunder that reached the heavens.

"'Jiba' has passed the test; now it's up to the others."

Just as 'Kiba' was laughing, Araki's voice echoed in his mind.

"call……"

"Looks like I've successfully passed this hurdle."

After hearing Araki's words, 'Kiba' breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Then what happens next..."

“'Jiba' and Bailegang! You two come with me!”

Aizen chuckled softly to 'Kiba' beneath him and to Barragan, who was hiding not far away and secretly observing his movements.

"Hmph, Aizen, watch your tone. I'm not your subordinate yet!"

Knowing that his whereabouts had been exposed, Barragán stepped forward without hesitation.

"So, Barragan, you were the first to surrender? That suits your cowardly nature perfectly! Hahaha..."

When 'Kiba' noticed Barragan, he burst into maniacal laughter, mocking Barragan for surrendering to Aizen.

"Isn't it the same for you?"

After hearing what 'Jiba' said, Bailergang angrily rebuked him.

"I'm not like you. At best, I'm in a cooperative relationship with this Grim Reaper!"

After hearing Bailergang's words, 'Jiba' snorted coldly and retorted.

"boom!!"

In an instant, Barragan and 'Kiba,' two Hollows who had been battling for thousands of years, clashed once again, their spiritual pressure constantly rising.

"Alright, you two, don't you want to see how I subdue Arturo?"

Aizen looked at the two struggling beneath him, 'Kiba' and 'Barragan', and spoke calmly.

"Oh? Your next target is Arturo?"

"I thought you were going to attack Lilynette's territory!"

After hearing Aizen's words, Barragan touched his chin.

"Hehe, naturally the main course should be saved for last..."

Aizen smiled after hearing Barragan's words.

"You guy..."

Barragan paused slightly after hearing Aizen's words, as if Aizen had sensed something different from the tone in which he had introduced Lilynette and the others.

"As expected of Araki-sama's apprentice."

Barragan muttered to himself, while simultaneously suppressing his contempt for Aizen.

"Now, let's head towards where Arturo is!"

As Aizen spoke, he looked towards the very center of the distant 'Hueco Mundo'.

"Oh!!"

'Kiba' was the first to act after Aizen gave the order. His body was as huge as a mountain, and every step he took stirred up endless dust. At this moment, 'Kiba' was changing the terrain of the entire 'Hueco Mundo' just by walking on the ground.

"What a terrifying guy..."

"It's hard to imagine that such a powerful and terrifying being was defeated by the young Araki-sensei hundreds of years ago~"

Gin Ichimaru looked at the 'Kiba' beneath him and muttered to himself.

"Gin, don't forget Araki-sensei's identity! The reason we've put in so much effort is because Araki is the most powerful enemy in history that we need to face!"

Aizen, after hearing Gin's mutterings, gave a reminder.

Yes, Aizen came to Hueco Mundo to build his own power, framed Kisuke Urahara, and plotted to get the other half of the Hogyoku from Urahara. Everything he did was to make his power and strength approach that of Araki.

"Araki-sensei, I hope that on the day you see your disciple waving the banner of rebellion, you can be proud to have me as your disciple~"

Aizen narrowed his eyes slightly, anticipating the day when he would rebel against the Soul Society.

Similarly, Araki, sitting in the captain's room of the First Division, was also eagerly anticipating Aizen's performance. As he sipped his tea, he muttered to himself, "Sousuke, don't let your teacher down! Keep getting stronger with all your might!"

"boom!!"

When 'Kiba' arrived at the very center of 'Hueco Mundo', which is Arturo's territory, like a massive mountain stepping on countless swirling white sands, a group of Hollows rushed out of their territories and charged towards 'Kiba'.

"You bastard! This is Lord Arturo's territory, how dare someone like you trespass! Go back to your 'Great Hollow Forest'! That's your real domain..."

The Adjuchas roared at the enormous body of 'Jiba'.

"Noisy!"

Upon hearing this, 'Jiba' muttered something unpleasantly, then opened its blood-red maw and swallowed all the Adjuchas in front of it, along with the white sand on the ground.

"what!!"

Accompanied by screams, the Adjuchas were instantly swallowed by 'Jiba' and digested into the most primitive spiritual particles.

"Are you fucking crazy?"

"You dare to trespass into the territory of the great and immortal King Arturo?"

Just as 'Kiba' continued to drag its massive body forward, a green figure blocked its path.

"Oh! It's you, the top general under that old bone Barragán. I remember your name is Diheira, right?!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, 'Kiba' stopped. The one blocking his path was, after all, a Vasto Lorde-level Hollow, and he had to give it some face.

"Shut up! I have now abandoned the darkness and joined Lord Arturo's ranks, having left Barragán's side. I am now Lord Arturo's foremost general..."

Diheira sneered after hearing 'Jiba's' words.

"Really? Diheira, you've really gotten quite something!"

However, before Diheira could say anything, a cold voice suddenly rang out above Diheira's head, and the next second, a white skeleton dressed in a black robe and wearing a golden crown appeared in front of Diheira.

"Bye, Lord Balagon?"

Diheira was stunned when he saw who it was.

"Go and call that bastard Arturo out here! I'm here to settle accounts with him..."

With his hands behind his back, Barragán gave the order to Diheira.

"I know, I know..."

As Diheira spoke, he prepared to go back and inform Arturo.

However, before Diheira could turn around, Arturo, who had short light green hair, a human face, and a white bone mask on his right cheek, had already arrived in the sky.

"Hahaha, who am I talking about?"

"So it's Barragan, you defeated foe..."

"What? You know you're no match for me alone, so you've brought in your nemesis to come and deal with me? How laughable..."

Arturo stood in the sky, hands in his pockets, and spoke disdainfully to Barragán and 'Jiba'.

"It's not us who are after you..."

After hearing Arturo's words, both Barragán and 'Jiba' sneered.

The next second, three figures appeared in the sky and stood in front of Arturo.

"you are?"

Arturo looked at the figure in front of him, his pupils shrinking slightly.
