Starting as a pirate, he rose to become the strongest Shinigami in Soul Society.

Chapter 483 Kuchiki Sojun: Status of the Gotei 13 -1.

Upon hearing that Hirako Shinji also wanted to try out his Bankai in the Mugen, Bane was even less likely to agree.

Even now, Shinji Hirako himself doesn't know what his soon-to-be-born Bankai is like, so he's quite carefree.

But Bane was well aware that his Bankai was later classified by the Central 46 as an ability that could not be used near Seireitei.

"Reversed Eight Treasures" is Shinji Hirako's Bankai, which is extremely powerful and can completely reverse the perceptions of everyone within the range of his Bankai.

One of these perceptions is the "friend-enemy perception".

In other words, once you fall for this trick, you immediately turn on your enemies, attacking your teammates and caring for your foes.

Although the Infernal Affairs are very safe, if something happens that affects the cognition of the people in the Great Prison, good heavens, the people of the Ninth Division will be locked up inside, while the original prisoners will stand outside guarding them. Just thinking about it is absurd.

"If you're going to use Bankai, go to the Dangai and see what your abilities are like. As for Kuruyashiki and Zaraki, go fight them in the Dangai too. If you're not satisfied, after you've seen Shinji's Bankai, go cause a ruckus in Hueco Mundo. Nobody will bother you. Anyway, with the Captain-Commander away and me overseeing Seireitei, don't cause me any trouble," Bane said after thinking for a while.

Seeing how determined Bane was, Hirako Shinji certainly wouldn't argue with him. As long as Kenpachi Kuruyashiki and Zaraki could have fun, they didn't necessarily have to go to the Abyss. They just thought the Abyss was closer and more convenient.

After all, compared to breaking through boundaries, you still need to open a portal to another dimension.

But since Bane had said so, the two of them agreed.

Having settled the matter, Shutara Senjumaru and Ban stood in the courtyard and began chanting.

As the dean and professor of the Kido Academy, opening a portal was a piece of cake for them. In no time, a very simple ordinary portal appeared in the courtyard of the Ninth Division.

"Aren't you going to take a look?" Bane asked Sister Hua, who was still sitting in the courtyard and didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.

As she arranged the flowers, Sister Hua shook her head and said, "It will take me a while to finish this arrangement, so I won't go. You guys go ahead, and I can keep an eye on things for you."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Yachiru." Bane nodded.

"Little classmate, little classmate, the name Yachiru is mine now, so don't call her Unohana-sama Yachiru anymore!!!" Kusajishi Yachiru hurriedly reminded him, perched on Zaraki's shoulder.

This little guy loves giving people nicknames, but he's never given Sister Hua a nickname. Even Bane is called "Little Bane" by her.

"Yes, yes, I understand, Yachiru." Bane replied perfunctorily.

Kusashi Yachiru, however, didn't seem to sense this perfunctory attitude and cheerfully said, "It's good that you know!"

"I'm going to fight Captain Kuruyashiki, you go wait for me for a bit!" Zaraki grabbed the Kusajishi Yachiru off his shoulder and casually shoved it into the hands of the grinning Kuchiki Sōjun.

Kuchiki Sojun also really liked children. Holding Kusajishi Yachiru, he said with a sigh, "It takes me back many years to when Byakuya was still little. He was so clingy back then, unlike now, he's become so unlovable. Speaking of which, should we have another baby sister for him?"

"Byakuya should like his sister, believe me." Bane patted Kuchiki Sojun on the shoulder, and then he and Shutora Senjumaru took the lead in entering the gate.

Then, the others also stepped into the interdimensional gate.

The Dangai is a "blank area" between the three major worlds of the Human World, Hueco Mundo, and Soul Society. No one knows how big the Dangai is, nor has anyone ever studied it in depth.

Fighting in the Dangai is also a great way to train oneself, because the Dangai has no 'physical body', that is, no so-called 'ground'. You need to balance your spiritual particles to 'step on air'. Therefore, many Shinigami in the Gotei 13 choose to meet up with two or three friends here for sparring and fighting.

Of course, this behavior is also quite dangerous, because occasionally a "Kutu" will appear in the severance zone, rampaging around, and Death is completely helpless against it.

Almost every so often, someone would disappear in the Boundary and never be found again.

However, it is clear that the people who entered the Dangai this time are not ordinary Shinigami. Bane, Kenpachi Kuruyashiki, and Shutara Senjumaru all have the strength to defeat Kokutoku head-on. As a result, the Dangai is not in great danger.

"Should you fight first, or watch my performance?" Hirako Shinji asked, looking at Zaraki and Kuruyashiki Kenpachi.

Zaraki was clearly very interested in Hirako Shinji's Bankai, and he immediately said, "It won't take long to see a Bankai, so let me see it first."

"That's right, I'm also very interested in your Bankai, Lieutenant Mako," Kenpachi Kuruyashiki said.

Bane glanced at Kuchiki Sojun. Actually, he felt that he should be relatively resistant to Hirako Shinji's Bankai, and as for Kuruyashiki Kenpachi and Zaraki, these two guys were going to fight each other anyway, so it didn't matter if they got hit.

But Kuchiki Sojun, Shutara Senjumaru, and Kusajishi Yachiru were just there to join in the fun.

Thinking of this, Bane pulled Kuchiki Sojun and Shutara Senjumaru backward, while bringing Zaraki and Kushiyashiki Kenpachi to his side.

"What are you doing?" Shutara Senjumaru asked, somewhat puzzled.

"My intuition tells me that Mako's Bankai is not that simple, so be careful and don't fall for it and embarrass yourself," Bane said softly.

Hirako Shinji didn't stand on ceremony. Seeing that everyone was curious about his Bankai, he drew his Zanpakuto, Gakufu, and whispered, "Fall down, Gakufu."

"What I hate most about him is his Shikai, it's just too despicable," Zaraki complained as he stood to the side, watching the hilt of the sword transform into a ring and hang from Hirako Shinji's hand.

He was the kind of person who went straight to the point, and Hirako Shinji's reverse stroke made him dizzy and disoriented. The reason why Zaraki was defeated by Hirako Shinji several times was because he couldn't handle this rebellious feeling.

However, he has recently undergone special training and believes that he will be able to defeat Mako in a while.

The initial release of Reverse Touch causes the affected enemy to experience a reversal of their perception. In actual combat, it is obviously a very powerful ability. However, Reverse Touch can be controlled and does not indiscriminately distinguish between friend and foe.

In fact, Hirako Shinji also had a vague premonition that his Bankai would be a further enhancement of the Shikai of Gyōfuku.

It should be a similar ability, but the reason he was so carefree and invited others to come and see his Bankai was because he didn't expect that his Bankai might be indiscriminate in its use against friend and foe.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and show us!" Kenpachi Kuruyashiki urged from a short distance away.

Hirako Shinji glanced at him with a slightly embarrassed expression and said, "It was quite excited before, but it seems that because there are too many people watching, it's become a little shy and won't tell me the release phrase for its Bankai."

Then, you see Hirako Shinji talking to his Zanpakuto like he's coaxing a child, making many promises.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell them silently so they won't hear. Tell me then," Hirako Shinji coaxed.

The latest novel is first published here!

A moment later, his expression turned serious, and he said, "It's coming!"

As he finished speaking, he closed his eyes slightly and his lips moved slightly, but no sound came out; he was clearly reciting it silently in his mind.

The moment he finished reciting the mysterious incantation, his spiritual pressure surged, and the sword in his hand emitted a pink glow.

"This spiritual pressure..." Kenpachi Kuruyashiki raised an eyebrow as he observed the scene. "Are all the people in the Ninth Division trained by the Spirit Lord this powerful in terms of spiritual pressure?"

Whether it's Shinji Hirako or Kensei Muguruma, in Kenpachi Kuruyashiki's eyes, they are both very promising talents.

Not counting Hiyori Sarugaki, who has been transferred to the 12th Division, these two have been Ban's subordinates for almost 170 years. It can be said that during this time, they have been taught and guided by Ban, and their strength has been steadily increasing.

Before he could use his Bankai, Shinji Hirako's spiritual pressure had already reached the minimum standard for "Captain-level" within the Gotei 13, and there was still room for it to increase.

After Zaraki joined the Ninth Division, rumors began to circulate that the qualifications for the Ninth Division's seat officer were extremely high. To reach the position of seat officer in the Ninth Division, one would need to have spiritual pressure at least at the captain level without using Bankai!

That's right. Even Kensei Muguruma, who was originally used as a benchmark in the story, now has the strength to reach the minimum standard of spiritual pressure for captains without using Bankai.

Zaraki is far beyond that standard. Not counting Yachiru Kusajishi, everyone knows she's a mascot.

Sensing Hirako Shinji's spiritual pressure suddenly rise to a higher level, Bane nodded in satisfaction and said, "Not bad, you haven't let me down. This spiritual pressure is quite respectable among the current captains."

"Shinji is indeed very talented. This is only his first Bankai, so it should be the most unfamiliar and weakest stage. As he gradually masters and becomes more familiar with it, there is still room for improvement in his spiritual pressure and strength," said Shutara Senjumaru.

"Poor me, I've once again earned the title of the weakest captain," Kuchiki Sojun joked to himself.

The Gotei 13's status decreased by 1.

However, Kuchiki Sojun has a very good attitude. Although he believes he is right, that is, his own opinion. After all, no one would define him as the "weakest among the captains," that would be too unfair. But Kuchiki Sojun is a very open-minded and easygoing person, and he often jokes about himself like that.

Moreover, he wasn't the competitive type. The reason he became the captain was partly to fulfill his duties as the head of the Kuchiki family, and partly to pave the way for his son, Kuchiki Byakuya.

When the time is right, he can immediately use the excuse of being "seriously ill" to take the team off the field and let Kuchiki Byakuya succeed him as the captain of the Sixth Division.

As soon as Kuchiki Sojun finished speaking, the pink light emanating from Hirako Shinji's reverse-stroke hand instantly turned into dust and fragrance, spreading outwards and almost instantly engulfing Kuruyashiki Kenpachi and Zaraki.

When he came to his senses, Hirako Shinji was already on a huge, golden, pointed lotus platform. His expression was somewhat panicked as he said, "Quick, get out of the way! My Bankai doesn't distinguish between friend and foe!"

It was clearly too late to say anything. Just moments ago, Kenpachi and Hirako Shinji were discussing and debating the Bankai power of Hirako Shinji, but now they suddenly seemed like mortal enemies facing each other.

Zaraki swung his tattered Zanpakuto, and Kenpachi Kuruyashiki drew his Garaku Reirou from his waist and began to fight Zaraki.

Unlike their previous encounters, where at least Kenpachi Kuruyashiki had some reserves, this time he went all out, cutting down the still-developing Zaraki and forcing him into a series of defeats.

Not only that, the pink mist also spread towards Bane and the others.

But before they even reached them, Bane unleashed the spiritual pressure armor of Susanoo, instantly protecting Kuchiki Sōjun and the others inside.
