Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

Upon hearing this, the hot-tempered Eleventh Division member roared at the group of noble retainers.

"Ha ha……"

As the Eleventh Division soldier finished speaking, the group of noble retainers suddenly revealed a strange smile; their goal had been achieved.

"Who said they were going to kill me?"

At this moment, accompanied by a question, the man who had been sitting in the sedan chair not far from the group of nobles and retainers, and who had never revealed his identity to the soldiers, finally stepped out of the sedan chair.

"Your Excellency the Inquisitor!"

When the nobles and retainers saw the person stepping out of the sedan chair, they immediately knelt on one knee and revealed the person's identity.

Yes, this man dressed in a magnificent haori is one of the six Inquisitors of the Central 46 Chambers, the highest law enforcement agency in Soul Society. He is a truly powerful and influential figure.

"A judge?!"

For a moment, all the members of the Eleventh Division were dumbfounded.

"Was it you who said you wanted to kill me?"

The judge in the Central Chamber of 46 slowly walked up to the 11th Division member who had spoken out of anger and asked him a question.

"me……"

The 11th Division member who had been shouting that he deserved to kill everyone was now sweating profusely and looking panicked.

"Tell him what crime he committed by threatening to kill the 'judge' of the Central 46?"

The judge ignored the trembling soldiers and looked at his retainers.

"capital offense!"

The retainer raised his head and answered calmly.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to, please give me another chance!"

The team member was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and begged the 'judge' for mercy.

"You want me to give you a chance? It's not that I don't want to give you a chance, it's just that you just broke the law! As a 'noble' nobleman, I can of course pretend I didn't hear you! But as an inquisitor of the 'Central 46 Chambers,' I have the responsibility to uphold the laws of the 'Soul Society'! So I'm sorry, brave 11th Division member! It's not that I don't want to save you, but it's my duty, and therefore I can't help you!"

The judge smiled as he looked at the 11th Division member who was trembling with fear at his words. He enjoyed the feeling of using 'law' and 'rules' to make others look at him with fear.

"So... Araki-kun, how would you respond to this situation?!"

The judge ignored the soldiers beneath him and instead looked at Araki with a smile.

Yes, his purpose in coming here was never this soldier whose name he couldn't remember; his goal was to tie Araki to their noble chariot.

He wanted to use this opportunity to tell Araki that in Soul Society, power alone was useless. Even if Araki possessed the power to rival the monstrous Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, he still couldn't save a lowly soldier simply because that soldier had broken the law. And saving that soldier was easy: if his superior agreed, everything would be resolved effortlessly! Yes, this judge's mission was to show Araki the power of authority!

"Crack~"

Just as the Inquisitor was pondering how to resolve the situation with Araki, a soft sound rang out, and the Inquisitor froze on the spot. He first gently touched his swollen cheek, then pointed a trembling finger at Araki's nose, and said in a shaking voice, "You hit me? You actually dared to hit me? Do you know what the crime is in Soul Society for assaulting an 'Inquisitor'? Do you know?! This is a grave disrespect to the Central 46! I will sentence you to death! Ah, no, I will imprison you in Avici Hell for 1200 years! A full 1200 years!!" (The 1200-year sentence is a small Easter egg corresponding to Aizen's additional 1200-year sentence for insulting the 46.)

As a nobleman, the judge naturally knew about the so-called theory of spiritual power. For a spiritual pressure user as powerful as Araki, the death penalty was meaningless. Imprisoning him in the Avici Hell was the greatest punishment for Araki!

"Crack~"

Upon hearing this, Araki slapped the judge hard across the right cheek.

After all, the 'Spirit King' once said, if someone slaps your right cheek, you should also slap their left cheek!

"You! You've rebelled! You think you can be arrogant just because you have power?! Let me tell you, the authority of the Central Forty-Six comes from His Majesty the Spirit King! Even if you are the captain of the Thirteenth Guardian Division, you cannot offend him."

While Judge Bogan was furious, he was secretly delighted. Araki had chosen the worst path, daring to attack him directly. So what was Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, the self-proclaimed champion of the 'law,' protector of Soul Society, and captain of the Gotei 13, going to do?

For Yuan Liuzhai, the choice is now between the 'law' and his 'disciple'! No matter which Yuan Liuzhai chooses, he will be seen as unjust and immoral! Thinking this way, the judge was somewhat excited!

"Who said I'm the captain of the Gotei 13?!"

Araki nodded slightly upon hearing this. He knew, of course, that the Central Forty-Six Chambers had been established very early on; otherwise, there wouldn't be a rule that grants power surpassing that of the Central Forty-Six Chambers to those who gather at the head of the five great noble families and receive the Spirit King's approval. (From the official novel cfyow)

But none of this concerns him.

As Araki spoke, he took off his 11th Gotei 11 haori and handed it to Uno Retsu beside him.

"What are you doing? Are you planning to defect?!"

At this moment, the judge finally panicked. If Araki intended to defect, then the laws of Soul Society would naturally be invalid against him. And the only one in Soul Society who could stand against Araki was Genryusai. As the Captain-Commander, Genryusai certainly couldn't leave Seireitei, so Araki could kill him with one strike and then swagger out of Seireitei.

"Defect?! Who told you that?"

Araki didn't give the judge a chance to speak, and took out a brand new captain's haori from the cloth bag he was carrying and put it on. However, this captain's haori was different from that of the 13th squad. There were no numbers on the back, only four Shen Ding.

"I'm asking you! Do the rules of your Soul Society apply to my Zero Division?"

As Araki finished speaking, the entire room gradually fell into a deathly silence.

Araki chuckled, "I'm laying my cards on the table. I'm from the Zero Division. Are you scared?"

"I……"

The judge remained silent.

The Palace of the Spirit King.

The fake monk stared into deep thought as he noticed that he had lost a whole cabinet of haori (traditional Japanese garments).

Sorry everyone! I had some things to take care of today, so the update is a little late. Two chapters, 7,000 words each! And lastly, I'd like to ask for some votes!

Chapter 59 'The Spirit King's Special Permission' 'Act First, Report Later' This is 'Zero'

The judge remained silent, while his retainers exchanged bewildered glances. These individuals, who had not touched the core of power in Soul Society, had never even heard of the Zero Division, much like Aizen during his time as the lieutenant of the Fifth Division…

"Stop standing there like idiots! Quickly have your men investigate thoroughly: what crime should be charged with the Zero Squad members 'assaulting' the judge of the Central 46th Chamber?!"

Araki looked at the judge who was standing there dumbfounded and teased him.

"I……"

The judge was now in a difficult position. He looked at Araki with a slightly nervous expression, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. His mind was racing, but he didn't know how to deal with Araki's "difficulties".

Undoubtedly, the situation had exceeded the expectations of the judge and even the 'master' behind him. No one could have imagined that Yuan Liuzhai's disciple, who had only gone to the Spirit King's Palace on the orders of the 'Spirit King,' would become a 'royal agent' of the 'Zero Squad' upon his return.

"Whoa~ Whoa~"

Before the judge could say anything, one of his retainers, a particularly witty and attention-grabbing man, had already pulled out a thick legal code he always carried and was carefully flipping through it, trying to help his master out of his predicament.

"Your Honor, please don't panic! I will tell you exactly what crime this rude 'Zero Squad' member committed by assaulting Your Honor, the judge of 'Central 46'!"

The judge's retainer, while perusing the legal code in his hands, flattered his judge, displaying an air of 'loyalty' and 'duty'.

"Don't panic. Having you all here is enough to make me panic..."

The judge's face darkened at the sight before him! Good heavens! It seems that ever since he became a judge in the Central Chamber of Forty-Six, even his own retainers have become accustomed to his tyrannical ways! They've practically lost their minds with his domineering arrogance…

Even if you haven't heard of the 'Zero Squad,' don't you know how to assess the situation? Didn't you see they completely ignore Central 46? Besides, who gave you, this damned, blind idiot, the courage to confront members of the 'Zero Squad'?! Okay, it seems it was him…

"Gan!"

Thinking this, the judge cursed inwardly. The thought that this fool was one of his retainers fueled his rage! Trying to punish the Zero Division? Shameless! Not only were these retainers and he, as the judge, unqualified, but no one in the entire Soul Society was qualified…

What is the 'Zero Squad'? They are 'royal agents'! Directly under the management of 'His Majesty the Spirit King'! Simply put, the 'Zero Squad' handles what the 'Thirteen Squads' can't! The 'Zero Squad' kills what the 'Thirteen Squads' can't! 'The Spirit King's special permission' to 'act first and report later'! That's the Zero Squad.

"Good heavens, this is the first time I've ever seen someone carry a law code with them! You really love the 'law'..."

"Since you've brought out the legal code, you'd better read it carefully and don't miss anything! I'm waiting for the 'Judge' to punish me~"

Araki watched the scene unfold before him with a slight smile, and urged the judge's retainer on something.

"You wait! You think you can get away with offending the Central Bureau 46?!"

The noble retainer's lips curled up, displaying an air of smug satisfaction, as if he were the one who had won the case.

"Get out of here! You disgraceful piece of trash!"

The judge couldn't stand it any longer. He kept giving his retainer meaningful glances, but even after blinking until his eyes were almost swollen, the fool was still shouting! In a fit of rage, the judge raised his foot and kicked his own retainer.

"Hey~"

The retainer was caught off guard and was kicked to the ground by the judge.

"Your Honor! Please calm down..."

The retainer was furious when he fell to the ground. He was about to vent his anger when he saw that the person who had kicked him was his master. Instantly, his anger vanished.

"You want me to calm down? You're so stupid! You're all insane! How dare you punish Lord Zero! Lord Zero is a royal agent, representing His Majesty the Spirit King! Do you dare to punish His Majesty the Spirit King? Get out of here!"

While the judge appeared to be angrily berating his retainers, he was actually revealing Araki's true identity to them.

"Royal agents..."

Upon hearing this, the retainers immediately sobered up. They quickly put down the legal code and knelt down before Araki.

While kowtowing, he cried out, "I was blind and ignorant! I have offended the adults of the 'Zero Squad,' please forgive me!"

"..."

Araki completely ignored the kowtowing retainers. These 'minions' that the judge had found from who-knows-where were nothing more than sacrificial lambs! Once Araki reached an agreement with the nobles, these men would likely be discarded as scapegoats to appease his anger…

The scapegoats didn't listen and said that the 'Zero Squad' was perfectly normal, or rather, their mission was to provoke Araki, so they couldn't care less about Araki's identity. Fortunately, these people knew what a 'royal agent' was...

Of course, it was more likely because of what their patriarch had just said. After the judge had given these retainers a good scolding, these scapegoat retainers all knelt down and begged Araki for mercy.

"Ha ha……"

Araki simply smiled at this. These scapegoats' 'begging for mercy' was fake; the real reason was that the judge had given in. These retainers were nothing more than a group of 'tools' used to reflect the judge's emotions.

"Get up! Don't kneel! This man isn't worth your kneeling!"

Araki ignored the underling who had been brought in by the judge to be a scapegoat, and instead helped up the 11th Division member who was being targeted by the judge in front of him.

"Um……"

At this moment, the Eleventh Division member was still in a daze. Things were developing too fast. Their captain had inexplicably become a big shot in the Zero Division, and he hadn't even gotten used to it yet.

"Thank you, Captain Araki!"

Before the Eleventh Division soldier could even stand up, the noble retainers who were kneeling on the ground began to rise, greeting him with smiles as they did so.

"You guys continue!"

Araki glanced at the retainers who were about to get up, and immediately used his spiritual pressure to keep them firmly pressed to the ground.

"Let's continue, let's continue!"
