Infinite: Start as a ghost

Ichinose is last in line.

Although he is very strong and has a greater combat advantage than Mei Zhen, Mei Zhen's potential for growth is unmatched by him.

Ichinose is best suited for reconnaissance work, that is, being a vanguard.

They left the last spot vacant.

Koga Tsuyoshi was unwilling to join the Espada, and his strength was not enough to qualify him for the Espada.

Coral Island is the head of technology, and her position is very special. In a sense, she is on par with Shiro Shiro.

Because most of the Espada obeyed her, and her backer was still the strongest, Jiang Jiu.

But she didn't ask for any rights; she only asked that Shi Cheng Shuang cooperate unconditionally when needed.

"We're still one person short, what should we do?" Jiang Jiu asked Zhicheng Shuangye with a smile, though he didn't seem to care much about it.

Sheen and Szayelaporro stepped forward at the same time.

Upon seeing this, the two glared at each other.

Sheen, being more easygoing but a bit impatient, spoke first: "My king, my lord, I have someone to recommend."

“I would also like to recommend someone,” Szayelaporro then said.

Then the two of them uttered three words in unison: "Pikachu..."

"Pikachu?" Jiang Jiu vaguely recognized those three words: "Are you talking about... a group of Arrancars who look like children?"

“So my lord knew,” Szayelaporro laughed. “That’s right, it was them…”

“Yes,” Sheen continued, “If we can find a way to merge Pikachu into one, it will definitely be stronger than some of the current ones.”

After saying that, he glanced at Mei Zhen, Kifune Risa, and Ichinose, seemingly casually.

Meizhen and Kibune immediately objected.

Mei Zhen said grimly, "What do you think we mean?"

Kibune, barely suppressing his anger, asked, "Are you referring to the three of us?"

Sheen shrugged helplessly: "What, is it so hard to be better than you guys?"

"Alright," said Shiro Sou, "Let's not start this pointless dispute."

As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Jiu and asked, "What do you think?"

Jiang Jiu laughed and said, "You are the King of Hueco Mundo, so naturally we will do as you wish."

Shiro nodded slightly and said to Sheen and Szayelaporro, "Bring them over."

"Yes," they both replied in unison.

Chapter 252 Review

After finalizing the tenth candidate, the next step was to select subordinate officials.

Roja was specifically chosen by Nelieel to go.

Szayelaporro felt the same way about Roga as Sheen, but to avoid being exposed, he didn't compete with Nellyel.

When Luo Jia first saw the two of them, her mind went completely blank, not knowing who her true master was.

However, after learning the specifics, she accepted Szayelaporro's orders, ignored Sheen, and became Nelielu's subordinate.

The number of subordinates around Neliel has increased from three to four.

Luo Jia, Dundechaka, Peixie, Bawabawa.

"Tch, who needs the burden of subordinates?" Grimmjow scoffed, saying he didn't need such a thing.

That being said, Jiang Jiu understood his true feelings.

Grimmjow is not without feelings; he has comrades who have risked their lives for him, and he cannot let go of his feelings for those people.

His true companions were all dead, and he gave up the idea of ​​finding new ones.

Tenbei Xiuzhu said he had no requirements in this regard; he would accept it if it was arranged for him, but it was fine if it wasn't.

The same is true for others.

Jiang gave Zhicheng Shuang a suggestion.

"Since none of them have refused, it would be best to recruit them as soon as possible."

"It's impossible to deploy the Espada for every little thing; we still need some people to help out."

Mole City Shuang also asked, "How do we find it?"

“Although Aizen is dead, the Arrancar are not all dead.” Jiang Jiu laughed, “They fled because of Aizen’s defeat and are scattered throughout Hueco Mundo.”

"With your abilities, finding them would be very simple; just bring them here, wouldn't that be enough?"

"Those who can become Arrancars are at least Hollows, and they are all formidable fighters. You can't underestimate them."

Upon hearing this, Zhicheng Shuang agreed with him.

"Let's set another condition: while recruiting, we must also exclude the weak. Not all broken faces are qualified to become subordinates."

"What conditions?"

Jiang Jiu laughed and said, "I'm sealing Zanpakuto, so let them seal them too."

"If they can remain unaffected for more than a day, they will be considered successful."

"This way, we can not only determine whether they have the strength of a vice-captain, but also untie the hands of the Espada."

Mole City Shuang nodded again: "This method is excellent."

“Then, I’ll leave these matters to you,” Jiang Jiu said. “I need to leave Hueco Mundo for a while.”

Mochijo Shuang also frowned slightly. He asked Jiang to save him so that he could stay and oversee Hueco Mundo. How could he leave?

"Where?"

Soul Society.

Zhicheng Shuang was also taken aback: "They're looking for you, and you want to deliver yourself to their doorstep?"

"Why not?" Jiang Jiu chuckled. "Now, besides the Spirit King, who in the world can be my match?"

"Since they want to see me, I'll go and meet them to see what they're up to."

"Moreover, as long as I show myself, they will have no reason to attack Hueco Mundo, which will actually be beneficial to you."

Zhicheng Shuang was silent for a while: "But you clearly have no reason to show yourself, so it will be difficult for them to find you."

Jiang Jiu smiled and said, "Don't misunderstand, I have something to discuss with them, not to cause trouble for myself."

"In that case, fine." Shiro Shuang couldn't think of a reason to stop her: "I won't try to persuade you anymore. It's better to be careful."

"Don't worry," Jiang Jiu said, "I will..."

Although he didn't have any feelings for Shi Cheng Shuang, they were on the same side, so he was very worried about Jiang Jiu's safety.

As he spoke, Jiang Jiu imitated Uruchiora's movements, putting one hand in his pocket and slapping the void with the other, tearing the void apart like a strip of cloth.

Seeing Jiang Jiu's pretentious actions, Zhi Cheng Shuang didn't feel anything was out of place; he just thought everything was reasonable.

Jiang Jiu stepped into the black cavity and disappeared from the void.

When he reappeared, he was already above the Seireitei, completely ignoring the barrier.

A powerful spiritual pressure erupted, causing the entire Seireitei to tremble violently.

Yamamoto Genryusai and Hyosugu appeared before Kouji immediately: "Who are you?"

"Aren't you looking for me?" Jiang Jiu laughed. "I've done so much, I'm sure you're all exhausted from trying to find me, right?"

"So you're the guy known as Mr. Oni?" Yamamoto asked, his voice imposing and condescending.

"Show some respect." Jiang Jiu was also extremely arrogant: "Apart from the Spirit King, no one has the right to speak to me in this manner."

"Young man, you really don't know your place," Hyōjubu laughed. "So, what brings you here?"

“I should be asking you that question,” Jiang Jiu said. “I know you have a lot of questions for me. Shall we have a good talk?”

“That suits me perfectly.” Hyosubu made a “please” gesture and invited Jiang Jiu to the First Division headquarters.

At this moment, the other four members of Squad Zero arrived late and reached the three of them.

The group arrived at the headquarters of the First Division and then summoned the captains of each division.

Before long, all the team leaders arrived.

The current Gotei 13 has been completely revamped, with many new faces, as well as familiar faces.

First Division Captain, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni;

Second Division Captain, Soi Fon.

Captain of the Third Division, Gin Ichimaru.

Fourth Division Captain, Retsu Unohana.

Captain of the Fifth Division, Shinji Hirako.

Captain of the Sixth Division, Byakuya Kuchiki.

Captain of the 7th Division, Komamura Sajin.

Captain of the 8th Division, Kyoraku Shunsui.

Captain of the Ninth Division, Rojuro Hōhashi.

Captain of the 10th Division, Asido.

Kenpachi Zaraki, captain of the 11th Division.

Captain of the 12th Division, Kisuke Urahara.

Captain of the 13th Division, Jushiro Ukitake.

Apart from that, the First Division Vice-Captain was demoted to Third Seat because his Zanpakuto went missing. The current First Division Vice-Captain is Hyosube Ichibei.

Hirako Shinji and Fengqiao Loujuro were immediately overwhelmed with emotion upon seeing Jiang Jiu.
