Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

These scapegoat retainers showed no anger upon hearing this, displaying complete obedience. At this moment, they treated Araki with the same subservience they would show a judge. Even Araki, with his powerful senses, discovered that their obedience was genuine, which surprised him somewhat. Then, he understood something…

These people weren't loyal to any particular individual in Soul Society; they were loyal to the powerful figures within Soul Society. Araki didn't intend to do anything to them. When the Inquisitors were in power, these people bullied others and did everything they could to please them; when the Inquisitors lost power, these people were the ones leading the charge. They even had 'nine' ways to kill the Inquisitors…

The real problem lies with the judges and with this corrupt system.

"This is a valiant member of our Gotei 11! A hero who fought against the Quincy during Yhwach's invasion!" Araki first patted the member beside him on the shoulder, introducing him to everyone. Then, as the member himself seemed a little embarrassed, Araki looked at the Inquisitor: "As for why he stopped you just now..."

"That's because I gave him the order to stop anyone who 'trespasses' into our Eleventh Division's barracks! I also gave him the right to 'kill' any trespasser."

"I have come to the Eleventh Division on the orders of His Majesty the 'Spirit King' to meet with Captain Uno and Vice-Captain Saito to discuss the mission personally assigned to me by His Majesty the 'Spirit King'!"

"What? Does Your Excellency the Judge also wish to hear what His Majesty the 'Spirit King' had to say to me?!"

Araki repeatedly emphasized the four words "Your Majesty the Spirit King" in his words.

"I wouldn't dare! How could I possibly accept a confidential mission given to you by His Majesty the Spirit King?"

Upon hearing this, the judge waved his hand repeatedly.

"I think you're quite bold!" Araki said again, "You say you wouldn't dare, yet you still want to punish my men!"

"I dare not punish him... He is innocent to begin with, how dare I punish him?"

The judge continued to wave his hand upon hearing this.

"Very well! In that case, lead the way."

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Araki continued speaking to the judge.

"Lead the way? Lead the way for what?"

The judge paused for a moment, then asked Araki a question.

"Think carefully about why you came here to find me."

Araki, seeing the judge's puzzled expression, narrowed his eyes slightly and lowered his voice, speaking close to the judge's ear.

"This……"

The judge suddenly realized something, and for a moment his aged face smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum.

"I see!"

The judge nodded at Araki, a sense of admiration rising in his heart.

Araki had already guessed why this judge had come, and he also correctly predicted that these noble groups would first give Araki a hard time before trying to win him over...

Therefore, Araki deliberately prepared this 'play', which not only cleverly resolved his attempt to intimidate them, but also taught these nobles a lesson and established his authority!

"This man is definitely not easy to deal with! We all underestimated him. He's not some vicious dog, he's a hungry wolf, the kind that eats people without spitting out the bones! Our noble tactic of 'giving a stick and then a date' will absolutely not work against him! I hope that sir can handle this properly and not end up letting the wolf into the house."

The judge thought helplessly to himself that the 'Central 46 Chambers' and the major noble groups were in a very bad situation. In front of them was the 'murderous maniac' Genryusai, a 'tiger' that had come down from the mountain, who was carrying the banner of the Gotei 13. Behind them was Araki Kenpachi, a 'hungry wolf' who was carrying the banner of the 'Zero Division'.

"Please go ahead then."

The judge thought so, but he still had to bring Araki along, since it was his mission.

"Your Honor, please go first."

Araki smiled and nodded at the judge, then gently stroked the Zanpakuto at his waist. 'It's time to draw blood!'

Applying for World Heritage status!

Chapter 60 You submit the report, I approve the note!

"Saito, you stay here and reorganize the Eleventh Division, making sure the entire division is ready for battle!"

"Lie, come with me..."

Araki and the judge in front of him had smiles on their faces, but secretly they used the Heavenly Void to inform the two people, "Immortal" and "Retsu".

"Prepare for battle!?"

Saito was completely dumbfounded. Araki and the judge in front of her were smiling so brightly, so why was she being told to prepare for battle? Was she being told to kill someone?!

Although Saito couldn't understand the meaning of Araki's words, it didn't stop her from carrying out Araki's orders. The moment she received Araki's order, she directed the soldiers outside the barracks to enter the Eleventh Division.

"Let's go~"

On the other side, Araki was already striding forward with a smile on his face.

"This……"

The judge glanced at Araki striding forward, then at his own palanquin behind him, and finally gritted his teeth, taking off after Araki's retreating figure...

Even the royal agents of the Zero Division walk, yet he, a judge from the Forty-Sixth Chamber, is carried in a sedan chair? Doesn't that make it seem like he doesn't respect Lord Spirit King?! He's in his current position because he's never made a wrong choice when it comes to matters of principle...

The distance between the Eleventh Division's barracks and the Central Forty-Six Chambers isn't short, about ten or so spirit miles. This distance is naturally manageable for captains like Araki and Uno.

However, this was especially painful for the judge who usually rode in a sedan chair. Every step after the Ten Spirits was an ordeal for the judge!

By the time he reached the door of Chamber 46, the judge was exhausted, practically half-dead. He was drenched in sweat and panting heavily as he faced Araki and Uo: "Huff! Huff! Huff..."

"How about we take a break?!"

Araki, noticing the judge's panting, looked at him intently and asked a question.

"No! The adults inside are waiting for me! I can't be late..."

Upon hearing this, the judge quickly shook his head.

"You all go down!"

After refusing a break, the judge dismissed all the guards surrounding the Central Chamber 46, and what he was about to say was not to be heard by anyone.

"As ordered!"

Upon hearing the judge's speech, the guards dared not ask any further questions and immediately picked up their weapons, heading towards the outer gate of the 46th Chamber.

"Let's go!"

The judge waited until all the guards had left before leading Araki and Uji to the inner gate of the 46th Chamber.

"interesting."

Araki raised an eyebrow upon seeing this, realizing that the judge before him was indeed quite capable.

At least the other party has a crystal-clear understanding of his position; someone like that might come in handy later! It's just a pity he's of no use to him whatsoever…

"Suck~"

The judge stood in front of the door of 'Central Room 46' but did not go in directly. Instead, he took a deep breath, regulated his breathing, straightened his clothes to make himself look more presentable, and then pushed open the door.

"Click~"

As the door to the 'Central Chamber of Forty-Six' opened, Araki narrowed his eyes slightly. Inside the dark room, a group of 'Sages' and 'Judges' had already gathered.

"Welcome, Captain Araki of the 11th Division!"

Standing at the very front of this group of 'wise men' and 'judges' was a middle-aged man with short, dark green hair.

This middle-aged man was clearly unaware of Araki's 'promotion' to the Zero Division, so much so that he still referred to Araki as the captain of the Eleventh Division.

"A trap! This is a trap!"

Araki knew from the accusatory attitude of the nobles in front of him that they were up to no good!

What a pity! What these people who hosted the banquet didn't know was that Liu Bang was the one who survived the 'Feast at Hongmen,' while the one who hosted the banquet committed suicide by drowning.

"Let's go in."

Seeing this, Araki, along with 'Retsu' and the 'Judge' beside him, walked calmly into the Central Chamber 46.

"Um?!"

Seeing Araki's composure, the sages all turned to look at the judge standing beside him.

"..."

The judge tried to speak, but found his mouth suddenly covered. In the end, he could only shake his head and keep blinking at the crowd, hoping they would understand what he meant.

"Is there something wrong with his eyes?!"

Unfortunately, the people failed to understand.

"Click~"

The moment Araki, Retsu, and the judge stepped into the Central Chamber 46, the heavy, ancient door slammed shut with a 'click-clack' sound.

"Captain Araki, and Captain Uno~ This is probably the first time we've met, it's a pleasure to meet you both! You two may not recognize me, my name is Tsunayoshi..."

The middle-aged man with short green hair in front of me is named Tsunayoshiro Yasuki. He is the second elder of the Tsunayoshiro family, which means he is the second in line to inherit the Tsunayoshiro family, a top noble family in Soul Society...

Without a doubt, he is the man who stands at the pinnacle of power in Soul Society! But it is precisely because the man before him possesses such great power that he is able to command the 'Central 46 Chambers'.

Especially after Yhwach invaded Soul Society, his first act was to avenge his father, the Soul King, which led to his attack on the meeting room of the five noble families, leaving the current head of the family, Tsunayoshi, still in a coma...

At a time when the power of the first in line to inherit the Tsunayashiro family and the 'head of the family' is not yet secure, this man's power has reached the pinnacle of his career in a rare manner!

So much so that the man seemed to have been blinded by his inflated power! He wasn't even satisfied with his status as an 'elder'; he wanted to go further and sit on the throne of the acting head of the Tsuna family. However, it seemed that the man's power had come to an end...

"puff……"

As blood sprayed into the sky, Tsunayoshi Yoshiyuki collapsed to the ground, clutching his neck, before he could finish speaking.

"Does it matter to me who you are?!"

Araki looked at the fallen Tsunayoshi and asked a question.

With the fall of Tsunayoshiro, the entire Central Forty-Six Chambers seemed to finally fall silent.

"Um?!"

The sages and judges stared in stunned silence at the fallen Misu, seemingly still unable to comprehend what had just happened. After all, Araki's blade was simply too fast.

"Tick, tick, tick..."

As the decapitated corpse continued to drip blood, and as the pungent stench of blood filled the hall, these self-proclaimed 'wise men' and 'judges' finally panicked.

"Murder! Murder! He really killed someone!"

The sage and the judge had both gone mad. They were yelling at Araki, their bodies trembling. They wanted to run, but found they couldn't move their legs. They wanted to call for guards, but found they had dismissed them all, because the content of the meeting was too important and they were afraid of others listening in.

Therefore, this huge conference room of forty-six rooms is like a tomb that these sages and judges built for themselves. They have lost all means of communicating with the outside world and can only let the Great Hollow carry out its 'slaughter' on them.

"Eat them, Kumbhira!"
