Chapter 224 Special Zanpakutō
In the First Squadron's dormitory, in the captain's meeting room...

"Boom!"

A loud knocking sound of a wooden stick was heard, fully revealing the anger in the owner's heart at the moment.

"What a disgrace!"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's face was filled with anger. He looked at Aize and Kuchiki Byakuya standing in front of him, and his voice sounded heavy and majestic.

"As the people standing at the top of the Shinigami, and the captains of the Gotei 13, you should be role models for others and set good examples for them!"

"The results of it?"

"You actually fought in the Soul Society, which is supposed to be protected by us, and there was no martial law!"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni seemed really angry, or rather, very disappointed with his father, so much so that his tone became increasingly harsh.

"Even though you have only been captain for a short time, this is no reason for the two of you to act recklessly!"

"Especially you, Byakuya Kuchiki!"

"You're fighting a companion who's not your enemy, and you're even using your Bankai. Do you really want to kill him?!"

In response to Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's rebuke, Kuchiki Byakuya did not make any rebuttal throughout the whole process. He just lowered his eyes and listened expressionlessly. I wonder if he felt any regret.

His Shinigami suit had been restored, and his wounds were healed by Unohana Retsu who arrived later. Only the bandage on his forehead told others that he was indeed injured, but the rest of his appearance did not show his previous miserable appearance at all.

On the other hand, Aize was not injured from beginning to end, and even his captain's haori was intact. Although he was standing with Kuchiki Byakuya and accepting the scolding from Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, looking at his nonchalant look, you can imagine how careless he was.

Who was Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni? How could he not see that these two people had no remorse at all?

As a result, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni became even more angry.

"Harusui! Shishiro!"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni called out to the captain of the 8th Division and the captain of the 13th Division.

"Yes Yes."

"teacher?"

Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro immediately stood up, one lazily and the other puzzled.

It is worth mentioning that these two people were actually students of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

They were the first batch of students admitted when the Maou Spiritual Arts Academy was first established, and they were Aize's seniors.

At that time, the dean of the Shinō Spiritual Academy was still its founder, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni. Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni also gave lectures frequently and was a great help to both Kyōraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro, so the two would sometimes call him teacher.

Naturally, these two people are also the people that Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni trusts the most. After all, they are students that he taught and brought up personally.

Now, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni called these two people.

"Take away the Zanpakutō from these two men. They are not allowed to carry swords again until they have reflected deeply on themselves!"

This punishment is neither too severe nor too mild.

The reason why it is heavy is of course because Zanpakutō is the other half of the god of death. Removing the Zanpakutō of the god of death and not allowing him to carry it anymore is tantamount to cutting off half of his body and strength, which will have a huge impact on him.

It's not a big deal. In fact, there are many places in the Soul Society where swords are not allowed. Ordinary Shinigami are usually not allowed to bring their Zanpakutō to some important occasions. Therefore, the act of taking off their Zanpakutō is not something that is difficult to accept in the Gotei 13.

The captains do have privileges. Except for some extremely important occasions, they are allowed to carry swords at other times. Even when holding captains' meetings in the first squadron's dormitory, they can carry swords depending on the situation. However, there are also times when they cannot carry swords, so it is not particularly difficult for them to accept this.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni probably imposed this punishment in order to make Aize and Kuchiki Byakuya reflect on themselves. It is impossible to confiscate their Zanpakutō forever. Such a punishment would only be given to the Shinigami who committed serious crimes. For minor crimes, even if they were imprisoned, they could still carry a Zanpakutō.

The incident involving Aize and Byakuya Kuchiki was not a big deal, and Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni only said that the two had lost their composure, not committed a crime, so naturally their Zanpakuto would not be confiscated forever.

Understanding this, Byakuya Kuchiki did not express any opinion and handed his Zanpakutō to Ukitake Jushiro.

Aize also removed his Zanpakutō from its scabbard and handed it to Kyoraku Shunsui with an indifferent look on his face.

He really didn't care, because his Zanpakutō couldn't be held back.

As a special weapon that he has recognized as his master with his authority, as long as Aize wants, he can summon the other party back at any time with just a thought. Even if the other party is sealed or thrown into the broken world, he will return to Aize in an instant.

Unless the special weapon is thrown into another fantasy world or into a fantasy library, it may be impossible to hinder the return of Aze's special weapon. Otherwise, no matter what method others use, and no matter what situation his special weapon is in, Aze can summon it back instantly without any stagnation.

Even if someone has evil intentions and destroys Aize's special weapon, Aize's special weapon will be repaired in his body and appear again.

In view of this, Aize didn't care what happened to his Zanpakuto. As long as he wanted, it would return to his hands immediately.

However, Aize didn't care, but his Zanpakutō did.

Even the Black Furnace Demon Sword doesn't want to be touched by anyone other than Aize, let alone it, which stands at the pinnacle of all Zanpakuto?

It only recognizes Aize and will only recognize Aize.

So, when Aize removed the sheath of his Zanpakutō and handed it to Kyoraku Shunsui, the Zanpakutō exploded.

"boom!"

A golden spiritual pressure that was more terrifying, more powerful, and more terrifying than when Aize released his full strength rose up from his Zanpakutō and instantly acted on everyone in the audience.

"Varied……?!"

Kyoraku Shunsui, who had just stretched out his hand to take the Zanpakutō from Aize's hand, was the first to be enveloped by this spiritual pressure. His face suddenly changed, his knees went weak, and he knelt down on the spot.

"not good!"

The other captains present had been standing silently in their positions, watching Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni scolding Aize and Kuchiki Byakuya, but when Aize's Zanpakutō burst out with that terrifying spiritual pressure, their faces changed drastically, and they all knelt down on one knee without exception.

Including Byakuya Kuchiki, feeling the astonishing spiritual pressure coming from him, his pupils dilated. He knelt on one knee, looking at the Zanpakuto in Aize's hand with a look of shock on his face.

Even though he was among the captains and had never said a word and had always been smiling gently, Aizen Sosuke's eyes changed involuntarily. His body was bent under the terrible spiritual pressure. Even though he tried his best to resist and even secretly erupted with hidden strength, he was ultimately unable to prevent his knees from touching the ground, and the gentle smile on his face disappeared for the first time.

Of all the people present, only two were able to continue standing.

One of them was Aize, who was still in the posture of handing out the knife.

One is Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

The former was stunned for a moment because of the sudden situation, and he himself was not affected by the spiritual pressure of the Zanpakuto, so he stood straight.

The latter suddenly opened his eyes, his muscles tensed, and while trying his best to resist the astonishing spiritual pressure, he stared at the Zanpakuto in Aize's hand, with a gleam in his eyes.

This astonishing spiritual pressure was like a natural disaster. Although it did not cause any substantial damage, it affected everything around it, so that the entire First Squadron barracks and even the surrounding areas were shrouded by it. All the Shinigami in this area, from ordinary team members to the officers at the front seats, all fell down the moment this terrible spiritual pressure appeared, and they lost consciousness directly, even the vice-captain whose strength was closest to the captain.

"stop!"

At this time, Aize finally reacted. Looking at the captains who were kneeling on the ground with distressed faces, he quickly spoke into the Zanpakutō in his hand.

"Put away the spiritual pressure!"

After these words were spoken, the Zanpakutō in Aize's hand stopped releasing spiritual pressure, and gradually restrained the spiritual pressure until it completely disappeared.

The captains then felt that the pressure was gone, but they all looked at the Zanpakutō in Aize's hand with a look of horror.

The whole place became exceptionally quiet, depressing, and weird, leaving Aize bathed in everyone's gaze, scratching his head with an innocent look on his face.

"This has nothing to do with me, you should be able to tell that."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent, and their eyes changed as they looked at the Zanpakuto in Aize's hand.

That Zanpakutō was still as gorgeous as ever, still emitting a faint aura of nobility, and just like before, it had not been released and was still in a shallow state of attack.

In this state where it should not show any ability or peculiarity, this Zanpakutō broke the rules and released an astonishing spiritual pressure that even the captain could not bear.

It's just... incredible.

Not to mention the others present, even Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni looked at Aize deeply and said something.

"Your Zanpakutō is indeed special."

The captains had noticed this when Aize and Kenpachi Zaraki fought, but they didn't expect that this Zanpakutō would be so special.

Being able to release spiritual pressure and display willpower in a shallow state is one thing, but he actually has the kind of power that even the captain has to submit to. This can no longer be called special, it should be called terrifying.

Holding such a Zanpakutō, how powerful is this man in front of me?

Many captains looked at Aize and had such thoughts in their minds.

Even Aizen Sosuke lowered his head, letting his black-framed glasses reflect the light and hiding his eyes.

As for Byakuya Kuchiki, he thought of the battle between him and Aize, and his hands clenched unconsciously.

He suddenly thought that although Aize could not use Bankai, he could use Shikai.

When fighting with me, my opponent did not release his Zanpakuto at all.

As a result, when the opponent did not release his Zanpakutō, he was forced to use his Bankai and almost lost.

If it was an ordinary Shinigami's Zanpakutō, even if it was released, it might not increase its strength much.

But, will Aize’s Zanpakutō be an ordinary Zanpakutō?
On the contrary, this Zanpakutō is absolutely powerful, so powerful that even if it is not released, it can suppress a captain-level Shinigami with its spiritual pressure alone!

What if it is released? How strong will it become?

Thinking of this, Kuchiki Byakuya couldn't help but clench his hands tighter.

By the way, not all captains of the Gotei 13 were present, and two of them were still absent.

One is Kenpachi Zaraki. It is said that he got lost along the way and is still trying to find his way.

One is Kurotsuchi Mayuri. It is said that he detected the spiritual pressure of Aize and Byakuya Kuchiki in the Technology Development Bureau, but he seemed to have no interest in what the two were doing, so he also did not come.

If these two people were here and saw this scene, they would definitely have a violent reaction, right?
After all, one is a battle maniac and the other is a mad scientist. The former will definitely be interested in the power displayed by Aze's Zanpakuto, and the latter will definitely be interested in the specificity displayed by Aze's Zanpakuto.

Fortunately, these two people were not there, and Aize was spared from being harassed by two crazy people.

"That's all."

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni seemed to have calmed down. He glanced at the Zanpakutō in Aize's hand again and said something.

"You two should return to the team barracks and reflect on yourselves. You are not allowed to leave the barracks within a month."

"Disband."

After saying this, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni turned and left.

After looking at each other for a while, the others stood up one after another, gave Aize a meaningful look, and turned away.

"……interesting."

In the past, Aizen Sosuke, who would always look for Aize to chat after the meeting, did not stay this time. He pushed his glasses, smiled, and turned around and left.

Only Byakuya Kuchiki, after standing up, kept staring at Aize.

"What?" Aize stroked the handle of his Zanpakutō to calm it down, and said to Kuchiki Byakuya unhappily, "Do you still want to fight?"

Kuchiki Byakuya did not answer the question immediately, but stared at Aize for a while before saying something.

"If you get the chance, show me your Zanpakutō's true power and form."

This sentence is extremely similar to the conversation between the two when they attended the inauguration ceremony.

However, last time, Byakuya Kuchiki was interested in Aize's reputation as a genius, but this time he became interested in Aize's Zanpakuto.

After leaving these words, Kuchiki Byakuya turned around and left without any hesitation.

"Take good care of Rukia." Azer's light voice came from behind, saying, "If you don't want to regret it one day in the future."

Kuchiki Byakuya's footsteps paused for a moment, then he took another step and walked out of the room.

Aize was suddenly the only one left at the scene, and he continued to stroke the hilt of his Zanpakutō while muttering to himself.

"I have done everything I should do, and I have said everything I should say."

"If you still want to know about Rukia, come here by yourself."

"Abarai..."

After saying that, Aize hung his Zanpakutō back on his waist and left.

Next, he had to go back to the team dormitory for solitary confinement.
