One Piece: Kaido's adopted son, starts with the Eight Gates Formation.

When Byakuya Kuchiki expressionlessly raised the wooden slip in his hand, which also featured a blue bear, a collective gasp rippled through the crowd.

Wildness and elegance.

Combat and rules.

The Shinigami who least resembles a Shinigami in Soul Society faces off against the Shinigami who most resembles a nobleman.

These two actually decided to use "rock, paper, scissors" to decide who would be the team leader and who would clean the toilets.

"Oh? It's you, Byakuya!" Zaraki Pachi grinned, cracking his knuckles in a series of snapping sounds. "Come on! Let me see if your noble hands can produce scissors sharper than others!"

A vein throbbed almost imperceptibly on Kuchiki Byakuya's forehead. He took a deep breath, his handsome face covered with a layer of frost. He didn't speak, but silently walked to the center of the arena and assumed the starting stance for "rock, paper, scissors".

"Come on! Let the game begin! Rock, paper, scissors!" Lynn sat on his throne, swinging his legs, and shouted excitedly like a referee.

All eyes were focused on the hands of the two men.

"Rock, paper, scissors!"

Kenpachi Zaraki roared and suddenly stretched out a large, fan-like hand—cloth!

At the very last moment, Byakuya Kuchiki calmly extended his hand—scissors!

The cloth was cut open by scissors.

In the first round, Byakuya Kuchiki won.

"Damn it!" Kenpachi Zaraki shook his hand in frustration.

Kuchiki Byakuya remained expressionless, but those familiar with him could see a hint of tension in his slightly relaxed shoulders.

"Second round! Begin!" Lynn urged.

"Rock, paper, scissors!"

Kenpachi Zaraki roared again, and this time, he chose... scissors!

After a mere fraction of a second of calculation and mental maneuvering, Byakuya Kuchiki extended his... stone!

The scissors struck the stone.

In the second game, Byakuya Kuchiki won again!

"..." The entire room fell silent.

Two to zero.

Byakuya Kuchiki, the head of the four noble families of Soul Society, won. He became the first captain of the new division. Kenpachi Zaraki, the strongest swordsman in Soul Society, lost. He will be going to… clean toilets.

Kenpachi Zaraki stared blankly at his hands, then looked at Byakuya Kuchiki's calm face. His expression shifted from annoyance to resentment, and finally to an extremely twisted and ferocious look.

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!" he roared to the sky in despair, "Why! Why did it have to be rock-paper-scissors!!"

"Hehe." Lynn laughed happily, tossing the giant rainbow lollipop towards Kuchiki Byakuya. "Here you go, this is your reward!"

Kuchiki Byakuya instinctively caught the sticky lollipop, which was thicker than his arm. The feeling of it made the noble patriarch stiffen. He looked at the "reward" in his hand, then at Kenpachi Zaraki, who was going berserk because of losing the match and was being held down by Retsu Unohana and Yachiru Kusashishi. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should feel fortunate or sad.

This absurd game has only just begun.

Soon, the second and third groups began their matches.

The Ninth Espada, Szayelaporro Granz, faced off against the 12th Division Captain, Mayuri Kurotsuchi. After a minute-long staring contest, attempting psychological analysis and prediction through their eyes, the two mad scientists simultaneously drew their "scissors," resulting in a draw. Then they simultaneously drew their "rock," again resulting in a draw. Finally, under Lynn's impatient urging, Mayuri Kurotsuchi won by a narrow margin, while Szayelaporro, with an extremely contorted expression, received a set of cleaning tools.

The first Blade, Koyatai Stark, faced off against "Plague" Queen of the Beasts Pirates. Stark intended to play casually, hoping to lose quickly and go to a quiet place to sleep. However, Queen attempted to interfere by firing a laser from his mechanical arm the moment he threw a punch, which Lynn deemed "cheating." Stark was immediately punished by having his entire body polished and waxed for Kaido's "new toy"—the Barragan statue. Stark won without a fight, becoming a captain with a helpless expression, and even receiving a cloyingly sweet lollipop that he absolutely disliked.
