Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

"what's the situation?!"

The Shinigami soldiers had no idea what had happened.

"These Hollows are targeting the captains; we're too weak, they don't even consider us a threat..."

Just as everyone was puzzled, a team member who seemed to be more intelligent spoke up unwillingly.

"Tsk~"

Upon hearing this, all the soldiers lowered their heads. They suddenly felt extremely ashamed. Being killed by the enemy was terrible, but as soldiers, what made them feel even worse was being ignored by the enemy.

"Roar!"

On the other side, the five captain-level Shinigami, 'Zenjoji Yubin', 'Executive Nobukatsu', 'Immortal', 'Reikoku Saizo', and 'Retsu', were surrounded by Adjuchas-level Hollows.

Each person will have to face at least four mid-level Hollows...

"Tsk~"

Zenjoji looked at the Adjuchas emanating powerful spiritual pressure one after another around him. After a moment's thought, he finally pulled out the Zanpakuto that he had stuck in the ground.

It wasn't that he felt pressured; he just wanted to practice his swordsmanship.

This time, as if they had communicated beforehand, the group of 'killer' captains almost simultaneously raised their Zanpakuto and coldly declared to the Hollows in front of them, "Bankai!"

Here's a 10,000-word introduction to warm things up a bit. I'm still working hard to finish the manuscript, so please point out any typos or errors, and I'll correct them as soon as I see them...

In short, I'll do my best! I hope you enjoy watching, and thank you all for your support!

Chapter 72 The Nobles: When I hear the word 'exploitation', the first thing that comes to mind is...

"Don't engage them head-on! Bringing our comrade's body back is the most important thing..."

"One more thing, you must not underestimate these Grim Reapers. His Majesty Barragán said that these Grim Reapers are very powerful."

The leader of this group of 'Adjuchas' was a Hollow that appeared slightly 'smaller' than the other Hollows, with some 'panda' features, and its 'dark circles' under its eyes were quite noticeable.

At this moment, this 'petite' Hollow is issuing orders to the 'sub-Hollows' around her...

"Hahaha, Diheira, you're such a coward! How can you possibly be Lord Barragán's top general?!"

As the Hollow finished speaking, he was met with taunts from a group of Adjuchas, among whom an Adjuchas resembling some kind of mantis was the most sarcastic. Perhaps all Hollows in mantis form possess a powerful capacity for courting death.

"..."

Upon hearing this, the Adjuchas named Diheira took no action, as if he were already used to the mockery of the crowd.

"Tch~" This enraged Adjuchas, who had been mocking Diheira, so he continued to roar at Diheira, "You just watch how I destroy these Grim Reapers, and remember, after this battle, you'd better give up the spot under your butt!"

After Naacchus finished speaking, he charged straight towards Uno Retsu...

"Idiot! He actually picked the strongest one..."

"Well, that's fine too, at least you'll die faster this way!"

Diheira silently watched the target chosen by the Great Hollow, her eyes filled with disdain.

"Woman! Die!"

At the same time, Adjuchas, who was not convinced by Diheira, rushed in front of Uno Retsu. He raised his arms, which looked like scythes, and swung them down forcefully at Uno Retsu.

"Shh!"

However, just when the Great Hollow thought his deadly scythe was about to smash down on Mao, nothing happened except for a whooshing sound.

"Um?!"

This completely stunned the Hollow who was planning to use Mao Zhilie as a sacrifice to the flag.

"Tick, tick, tick..."

Immediately afterwards, Great Hollow seemed to hear the sound of water droplets falling, and at the same time he smelled a pungent smell of blood.

In response, the mantis-shaped Hollow looked up at its arms, only to find that its arms had disappeared at some point, replaced by severed limbs that were constantly oozing blood.

"what!!"

Upon seeing this, the Great Void let out a miserable roar, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"How can it be?!"

However, before he could finish speaking, his leader had already spun and flown into the sky.

"Next……"

Mao flicked the blood off his blade and looked at the other Adjuchas with a cold expression.

"Forehead……"

The Adjuchas responsible for besieging Mao were overwhelmed and took a step back. Mao was like their Hollow King Barragan, giving them an immense sense of oppression.

"Remember to bring that idiot's corpse back with you..."

At this moment, Diheira, as the captain, pointed to the Adjuchas lying on the ground, killed by Uno Retsu's sword, and spoke calmly. It was as if the one who had just died wasn't Diheira's comrade or opponent, but merely an ordinary insect...

Are you the strongest among them?

At this moment, Mao also noticed Diheira and asked coldly.

"no……"

As he spoke, Diheira retreated behind the group of Hollows.

After Barragan's top three generals all died, he had an epiphany...

In this dog-eat-dog world, 'fame' is utterly meaningless; survival is the most important thing.

"Looks like it's you!"

Uno simply smiled at this. A layer of scarlet light covered the Zanpakuto in her hand, as if endless blood was converging towards the blade.

In an instant, a red slash hurtled towards Diheira...

"will die!"

Diheira knew he was going to die the moment he saw the slash, but he wasn't panicked at all because he was standing behind his other companions.

"Shh!"

While Diheira's two companions were still stunned, the bloody light had already passed through their bodies...

"what?!"

The two 'Ya Xu' were stunned for a moment, and before they could say anything, their bodies split in two.

"Shameless!"

Upon seeing this, Mao's Zanpakuto flashed with blood-red light once more.

"Thank you for the compliment! But I won't fight you. I'm not interested in suicide..."

Deheera looked at the red light on the blade of the Zanpakuto in Uno's hand. He knew that if the red light flashed, he would surely die. He had always had a clear understanding of his own strength.

"Um?!"

Just as Mao was about to unleash her second strike, she suddenly stopped, her expression shifting, and retreated backward.

"boom!"

The next second, the spot where Mao had been standing was instantly blasted into scorched earth by the crimson Cero.

"Kyrian?!"

Seeing this, Mao turned his head and saw that the Killian, who originally only knew how to wander around the 'Great Hollow Forest', seemed to have gained a certain level of intelligence. They ignored the ordinary soldiers around them and just opened their blood-red mouths, converging Cero towards Mao and the other captains.

"I see... As 'Adjuchas,' you possess the ability to manipulate Kyrians?"

Mao frowned slightly as he looked at Diheyela in front of him.

"Not entirely..."

Diheira shook his head upon hearing this, showing no intention of explaining anything to the Grim Reapers.

"Announce to the entire team..."

"Be very careful of these Adjuchas; some of them may have the ability to manipulate Kylian."

"Or perhaps all Adjuchas possess this strange ability..."

Without hesitation, Mao immediately used the Heavenly Void Ring to notify the entire team.

"Trouble..."

When the captains heard about the abilities that the Adjuchas were suspected to possess, their expressions changed.

"boom!!"

However, the Cero didn't stop, and one Cero after another kept interfering with the captains' battle!

In a one-on-one situation, the 'Immortal' and the others could easily kill any of the Adjuchas here, but this is not an equal battle. Right now, several Adjuchas are leading a group of Kyrians to besiege the captains...

In this situation, the original six-car fleet might have been wiped out long ago, and even the original Gotei 13 were finding it somewhat difficult...

For a moment, the captains' situations seemed to be in a bit bad.

"Don't retreat! Brothers, follow me and kill these Killian hordes to buy time for the captains!"

The ordinary soldiers who had originally planned to retreat because of Adjuchas's arrival mustered their courage at this moment. They were the original 11th Division soldiers, and how could they possibly choose to run away when they saw their captains under attack?!

At this moment, their pride had overwhelmed the fear brought on by their instincts!

"Go wild, Hikari Maru!"

"Dance, Xue Mei!"

"Stand firm, Junzhu!"

One by one, the team members unleashed astonishing fighting power at this critical juncture of life and death, successfully freeing their Zanpakuto.

"Go to hell!!"

These soldiers brandished their Zanpakuto, which had changed shape, and attacked one 'Kirian' after another.

"Roar!!"

With a series of explosions, the Kyrians that were gathering Cero screamed and collapsed to the ground.
