I'm in Bleach, starting with Unlimited Blade Works.

In addition to Captain-Commander Yamamoto, there are also Retsu Unohana, Captain of the Fourth Division; Byakuya Kuchiki, Captain of the Sixth Division; Shunsui Kyoraku, Captain of the Eighth Division; Isshin Shiba, Captain of the Tenth Division; and Erin, Captain of the Eleventh Division.

"Ah, all of you captains are renowned experts who have been around for over a century. I am merely a junior and inexperienced student, so I will not challenge you seniors and make a fool of myself."

Chapter 150 Soi Fon Comes to the Door

"Captain-Commander, I'll choose to demonstrate my Bankai."

Gin Ichimaru narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.

Just then, he was thinking about how to let Aizen know about the Bankai ability of his Zanpakuto, so that Aizen could trust him.

If I were to reveal the Bankai ability of my Zanpakuto here, I suppose Aizen Sousuke would find out very quickly, given his abilities?

“Very good. Demonstrating one’s Bankai ability is indeed the fastest way to pass the captain’s test.”

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni slightly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "However, before you demonstrate your Bankai, you must describe the abilities of your Zanpakuto's Bankai."

"If the Bankai ability of a Zanpakuto is too powerful, it must be tested in the Dangai."

"Vice Captain Gin Ichimaru, now, please describe your abilities and whether you need to apply to go to the Dangai to undergo the Bankai release assessment."

"No, no, no, my Zanpakuto's Bankai ability is not yet sufficient for the release test in the Dangai, Captain-Commander."

Gin Ichimaru slowly drew his Zanpakuto and introduced it to the captains present: "Captain-Commander, and all the captains, my Zanpakuto is called 'God Spear'."

"The ability of Shikai is to quickly and freely control the length of the Zanpakuto."

"Just like now..."

Gin Ichimaru stepped back half a step with his right leg into a lunge stance, leaning his upper body forward and pointing the tip of his Zanpakuto in the direction where no one was standing in the training ground.

"Shoot him, sharpshooter!"

"boom!"

In an instant, Gin Ichimaru's spiritual pressure surged fivefold, and then his Zanpakuto extended at an extremely fast speed, piercing through the wall of the training ground under the watchful eyes of several captains.

Then, Gin Ichimaru controlled the spear to retract, leaving a gap of about ten centimeters in the wall.

A ray of sunlight entered the training field through the gap, leaving a beam of light between the floor and the wall.

"So fast!"

Seeing Gin Ichimaru's performance, Captain Isshin Shiba of the 10th Division nodded and said, "That's a really great ability. If someone with a slower reaction speed were to encounter it, they wouldn't be able to escape such a strike."

"Hmm, a very good Shikai, but I don't know how good his Bankai is."

"Captain Erin, I remember that Vice-Captain Ichimaru Gin is your disciple. Do you know what his Bankai ability is?"

Kyoraku Shunsui reached out and lifted the brim of his straw hat, unable to resist asking Erin.

"Captain of the Beijing Opera Band, I think you've been working yourself to the bone lately, haven't you?"

Erin rolled his eyes at Kyoraku Shunsui's question.

"This is the captain's assessment. Gin said he would demonstrate his Bankai here, and everyone will definitely be able to see it in a bit."

"Besides, Gin left my Eleventh Division more than fifty years ago. He hadn't even finished training his Bankai back then. How would I know about Gin's Bankai?"

Erin didn't take Kyoraku Shunsui's teasing to heart.

Based on Erin's understanding of Gin Ichimaru's personality, the speed at which Gin Ichimaru extended his spear just now was definitely preserved.

However, even so, the speed at which the Zanpakuto advanced exceeded the reaction range of some Shinigami.

However, such speed is somewhat insufficient in the face of a captain-level powerhouse.

It's one thing for Shiba to give a compliment, but what about Kyoraku Shunsui's compliment?

Is it watching children perform acrobatics that makes him happy?

"My Bankai is called 'God-Slaying Spear'."

The divine spear, now shrunk to the size of a short sword by Gin Ichimaru, is held in his hand.

"My Bankai ability is an enhancement of my Shikai ability."

"After Bankai, the length of my Zanpakuto 'Godslayer Spear' reached thirteen kilometers."

"Thirteen kilometers?"

The captains standing in front of Gin Ichimaru, including Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto, were all extremely surprised.

That attack range is way too far!

It is arguably the Zanpakuto with the longest attack range.

"And the speed at which the blade extends and retracts is five hundred times the speed of sound."

"..."

Then, before the captains could react, Gin Ichimaru narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Swastika—God's Killing Spear!"

"boom!"

Gin Ichimaru's Bankai lasted only a moment, but the surge in spiritual pressure made all the captains present realize that Gin Ichimaru had indeed completed his Bankai training.

However, its Bankai is quite different from that of other Zanpakuto.

Gin Ichimaru's Bankai is to condense all the surging spiritual pressure into his Zanpakuto, allowing it to extend to thirteen kilometers at five hundred times the speed of sound in an instant.

"Captain-Commander, and all the senior captains, I have now completed the demonstration of my Bankai."

"Excuse me, am I qualified to pass the team leader's assessment?"

At this moment, the way the captains looked at Gin Ichimaru changed.

If the captains had some underestimation of Gin Ichimaru before he demonstrated his Bankai, after he did, no one dared to underestimate him.

Inside the First Division training ground, in addition to the beam of light that pierced through the wall when Gin Ichimaru used his Shikai, another beam of light appeared.

This is sunlight shining in after Gin Ichimaru's Bankai pierced through the wall.

If everyone still didn't have a concept of Gin Ichimaru's previous description of his Bankai ability, then the moment Gin Ichimaru unleashed his Bankai, the captains knew that Gin Ichimaru's strength was terrifyingly powerful!

They only saw a white light before Gin Ichimaru completed his attack.

If they were placed against a wall, could they dodge this attack?

Given the terrifying speed at which Gin Ichimaru's God Slayer Spear extended after his Bankai, they would probably have been injured the instant he released his Bankai.

"Hey, Captain Erin, first Captain Kuchiki, and now you've trained Captain Gin Ichimaru. In terms of the quality of your students, a hundred years from now, Captain Erin, you'll be no less than Grandpa Yamamoto."

The one who said those words was Kyoraku Shunsui, the captain of the Eighth Division.

The other team leaders also understood the meaning behind Kyoraku Shunsui's words.

Is he implying that a hundred years from now, Byakuya Kuchiki and Gin Ichimaru will be comparable to him and Ukitake?

However, after looking at Byakuya Kuchiki beside them and Gin Ichimaru on the other side, everyone had to agree.

With their talent, they might actually reach the level of "Centennial Captain" a hundred years from now.

"Captain of the Peking Opera, you should say that when they have truly reached that level."

Erin laughed.

When students perform exceptionally well, Erin, as their teacher, naturally feels honored.

Of course, what others don't know is that Erin's expectation for Kuchiki Byakuya and Ichimaru Gin is that they can surpass the versions of themselves he remembers, which would give Erin a greater sense of accomplishment.

"Captain-Commander, regarding Gin Ichimaru's captain assessment, I acknowledge that he has the ability to become the captain of the Third Division."

"Where are the other team leaders?"

Although Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni acknowledged Ichimaru Gin's ability to serve as captain, once the rules were established, he naturally wouldn't make that decision based on his own personal feelings.

"If even he can't pass the captain's test, then I feel like I'm not quite qualified to be the captain of the 10th Division, hahaha..."

Shiba scratched his head and said with a wry smile, "These young people nowadays are all more frightening than the last..."

"Yes, I acknowledge Ichimaru's strength."

After both Isshin Shiba and Retsu Unohana expressed their opinions, Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto nodded.

"Very good. Vice-Captain Gin Ichimaru, the captains of the 4th, 8th, 10th, and 11th Divisions all agree that you have passed the captain's test."

"From now on, you will serve as the captain of the Third Division."

"Yes, Captain."

Gin Ichimaru sheathed his Zanpakuto and stood to the side, alongside the captains.

"Next, there's the proposal from Captain Kyoraku of the Eighth Division to nominate Aizen Sousuke, the vice-captain of the Fifth Division, as a candidate for captain of the Fifth Division..."

……

"Ugh, I'm exhausted."

After leaving the First Division's base, Erin yawned and stretched.

For Erin, attending these boring captain meetings was more tiring than drawing cards for several days.

At the very least, by appraising weapons within the Realm of Unlimited Blade Works, one might even be lucky enough to appraise a few Zanpakuto of the Seat Rank or higher, thereby increasing one's spiritual pressure and slightly enhancing the strength of the "Gate of Babylon".

Attending the team captain's meeting was nothing but boring.

But Erin had no choice; Aizen Sousuke's operation had indeed crippled the Gotei 13.

Suddenly, the Gotei 13 lost six captains and four vice-captains, plus the Grand Demon Master and Vice Demon Master of the Kido Clan...

It can be said that half of the Gotei 13's top combat strength has been lost.

It was only because Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni had such great prestige that he managed to suppress the panic of the six Shinigami squad members and prevent much chaos from occurring.

However, with the appointment of the new captains, Seireitei returned to its former tranquility.

Currently, Soi Fon is serving as the acting captain of the Second Division.

The third division is led by Gin Ichimaru.

The Fifth Division is led by Aizen Sousuke.

The Ninth Division was proposed by Aizen, who suggested that Tosen be the vice-captain as a candidate for captain. Once he passed the captain's test, he could become the captain of the Ninth Division.
