Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

"Swastika Senbonzakura Kageyan!"

Up to a thousand enormous blades rise from the ripples on the ground on both sides, creating a spectacular sight.

However, this spectacular scene lasted only for a moment.

The next second, those huge blades shattered like flower petals, turning into countless smaller blades that flew and scattered.

Seeing this, Aozaki Mayuki grinned:

"Byakuya, that's not enough. Keep working hard!"

As the newly appointed captain, Byakuya Kuchiki's strength is roughly on par with Yuushirou Shihouin, only slightly stronger.

Compared to Aozaki Mayuki's two senior brothers and Kenpachi Zaraki, there is still a considerable gap.

Previously, Byakuya Kuchiki had been assisting with harmless attacks from the sidelines, and Mayuki Aozaki had almost ignored his presence.

Now, he finally realized that there was such a harmless guy on the battlefield.

"Don't call me that, I'm not your junior!"

Kuchiki Byakuya frowned and said with some dissatisfaction.

Under the careful guidance of Kuchiki Sōjun, Kuchiki Byakuya did not become the cold and aloof male god figure in the original work.

Of course, it's also possible that Aozaki Mayuki, that unconventional guy, influenced him, making him different from the original character.

"Aozaki Mayuki, prepare to die!"

Kuchiki Byakuya's eyes were cold, and he shouted in a firm tone.

"Final Scene - White Emperor Sword!"

As he finished speaking, the Zanpakuto held in Byakuya Kuchiki's hand instantly changed shape, the long sword formed from countless flower petals radiating powerful spiritual energy fluctuations.

He poured all the petals and spiritual power of the Senbonzakura into the sword, causing the entire Zanpakuto to emit a dazzling white light, like outstretched wings.

Kuchiki Byakuya's figure moved swiftly as if by teleportation, appearing in front of Aozaki Maki in the blink of an eye.

Without hesitation, he swung his sword and slashed fiercely at Aozaki Mayuki.

As Byakuya Kuchiki's swordsmanship teacher, Mazuki Aozaki knew that this was his strongest move.

However, for Aozaki Mayuki, who had sparred with Kuchiki Byakuya countless times and considered himself to have entered the realm of gods, Kuchiki Byakuya's strength was still far from enough.

With a muffled thud, the white lightsaber in his hand shattered, and a long wound appeared on his body.

Blood splattered out, forming dazzling blood flowers in the air!

"So it really didn't work?"

As his teammate fell to the ground, Kyoraku Shunsui's face remained expressionless, as if he didn't care about what was happening before him.

Actually, he had been conducting an experiment, trying to use the increased spiritual pressure after Bankai to influence Aozaki Mayuki with his own abilities.

Kyoraku Shunsui frowned, his heart filled with doubt and confusion.

There were no black spots, no endless abyss; without a doubt, his attempt had failed.

Kyoraku Shunsui simply couldn't understand how the difference in spiritual pressure could be so huge when he had already reached the ranks of the top Shinigami after achieving Bankai.

But there wasn't much more time for him to continue thinking about it.

Kenpachi Zaraki, who was just now, was actually carrying a tool that limited his power.

He never suppressed his power from beginning to end, and after using Bankai, his body began to collapse uncontrollably!

Chapter 455: Even a death sentence wouldn't be unjust.

Aozaki Mayuki stood quietly on the ruins, seemingly blending into her surroundings.

His gaze remained fixed coldly ahead, unmoving.

As Kyoraku Shunsui's body gradually developed cracks, Aozaki Mayuki's lips curled up slightly.

"As expected, a fake is a fake. It can't even withstand Bankai?" he said sarcastically.

Upon hearing this, Kyoraku Shunsui couldn't help but sigh:

"Oh, Junior Brother's mouth is still as sharp as ever."

He then sheathed his long sword, seemingly ready to give up the fight.

However, at that moment, Aozaki Mayuki suddenly sensed something was amiss.

He narrowed his eyes slightly.

The distance between the two was not far, but it wasn't too close either, only a few meters.

He noticed that the imposter's hands began to glow brightly, and spiritual particles were gathering at his fingertips.

The man sitting on the ground, wearing a straw hat, gave her a strange smile.

"The final chapter - Blood stains the throat with the cleaver's edge!"

In an instant, a cold light pierced the air, rushing towards Aozaki Mayuki with a fierce aura.

The spiritual threads instantly severed his neck.

However, Kyoraku Shunsui, who was in the distance, frowned.

Because he didn't feel like he had hit the target.

Sure enough, under his gaze, the beheaded Aozaki Mayuki transformed into a shimmering mass of light particles and vanished without a trace.

Right in front of Kyoraku Shunsui, Aozaki Mayuki's body reformed.

He stood quietly, his gaze fixed on Kyoraku Shunsui before him, lost in thought.

It must be said that these imposter captains are very realistic; their appearance and demeanor are exactly the same as the real captains.

Aozaki Mayuki didn't express his thoughts much; he simply watched Kyoraku Shunsui silently.

Then, he suddenly swung the long sword in his hand and raised it high.

The blade gleamed with a cold light, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Without hesitation, he swung his sword at Kyoraku Shunsui in front of him.

This slash was extremely fast.

Kyoraku Shunsui originally intended to use Shunpo to dodge, but he found that he didn't have time to react at all.

In that instant, he felt a sharp pain and his wounds began to bleed.

With blood splattering everywhere, Kyoraku Shunsui's body collapsed limply to the ground.

His life force gradually faded, and he eventually turned into a pile of sand, which was scattered by the wind.

The scene was unusually quiet, with only Aozaki Mayuki standing silently in place, holding a spotless long sword in his hand.

…………

Swish, swish, swish!

Late at night, Aozaki Mayuki handed the two girls over to his two secretaries and the third seat, and closed the door to the vice-captain's office.

"I'm back, A-Jie. What do you want from me?"

The torrential rain pounded against the cold window, and Aozaki Mayuki smiled warmly at her friend.

Hearing this title still made Aizen feel a bit annoyed, as was his habit.

"You make it sound so easy. I didn't expect that after such a big incident, the Captain would still have the leisure to play outside."

"Is this some big deal?" Aozaki Mayuki asked in return.

"..." Aizen was taken aback.

For this man, it certainly didn't seem to be a big deal.

He then shook his head.

Do you know this person, Yujima Oshu?

"Yushima Ou?" Aozaki Mayuki pinched her chin.

Before he could make a correction, Aizen continued:

"If nothing unexpected happens, Yujima Oshi is probably the mastermind behind this incident."

"He used to be a researcher in the 12th Division and once proposed a plan to the Central 46 to use Reikai, which are clones of Shinigami, to carry out dangerous missions in place of Shinigami."

"Don't you think this so-called spirit remains might be connected to the imposters that appeared this time?"

"It's not just that we're connected, it's that we're on good terms."

Aozaki Mayuki curled her lip and said with a disdainful look:

"Tch, I thought you were going to tell me something big, but that's all?"

However, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't spoken to Aizen since Kujo Nozomi woke up.

So he simply told him all the information he knew.

After listening, Aizen nodded slightly and said softly:

"That makes things clear."

"Oshima's plan was later deemed illegal by the Central 46 because it could potentially harm Soul Society."

Aizen raised the corners of his mouth and continued to explain:

"It was around that time that I started working with him."

“I helped him avoid imprisonment, and he helped me get into the underground laboratory of the Technology Development Bureau.”

"In exchange, I gave him a large amount of valuable experimental resources."

"After that, he disappeared without a trace, and the Gotei 13 is still issuing arrest warrants for him to this day."

As Aozaki Mayuki listened, she pondered to herself:

"Good lad, it really is because of you! It's probably thanks to your help that the spirit skeleton experiment was able to be completed ahead of schedule."

He couldn't help but feel helpless and speechless.
