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

Chapter 513: Another round of court deliberations.

Just as Bane and Ian were discussing these matters, footsteps sounded outside the courtyard.

Ain kept quiet and stopped talking.

Then, Kensei Rokusha walked in from outside the courtyard. After seeing Bane, he said in a deep voice, "Lord Spirit Lord, the Captain-Commander has convened a council meeting and requests that you come to the Captain's quarters to discuss important matters."

"Understood," Bane replied, showing no surprise.

Not to mention that the relocation of the current spiritual land has been completed and needs to be reported, the fact that Kenpachi and the others encountered many Hollows in the current world, as mentioned by Ain, is already worthy of attention.

It was only natural that Yamamoto Genryusai convened a court meeting.

On the other side, in the underground facilities of the Central 46th Room area, is the Great Spiritual Book Corridor.

Aizen Sousuke and Nico Robin had just come down from the ground and arrived here.

"Captain Shunsui," Aizen called out.

At this moment, in front of the Great Spirit Book Corridor, Kyoraku Shunsui was sitting on the steps with a pot of sake beside him and a notebook in his hand, writing and drawing on it.

Don't get me wrong, he wasn't thinking about the Eighth Division, but rather writing his serialized novel, "The Rose-Colored Path".

Beside him, Vice-Captain Risa Yadomaru sat on the steps, but she was reading a book called "The Warring States Period Is No Ordinary Thing".

As if he had heard Aizen's call, Kyoraku Shunsui snapped out of his creative reverie, put his pen in his mouth, and said with a grin, "Aizen, what's up, Robin?"

Aizen said softly, "The Captain-Commander is holding a council meeting. Please come to the Captain-Commander's quarters to discuss the matter."

"Is that so?" Kyoraku Shunsui stroked his chin and said, "I understand. Let's go."

As he spoke, he stood up, and Yadomaru Lisa also put away her royal uncle and followed behind him. Aizen and Robin also had no intention of staying there, and the group went upstairs together.

However, just as he was about to reach the corner, Aizen glanced at the main entrance of the Great Scripture Corridor out of the corner of his eye.

"You haven't been out for three months already, you're practically a librarian now." Aizen said softly to Robin beside him as Kyoraku Shunsui and Yadomaru Lisa walked ahead.

Wearing the 8th Division's shihaka uniform, Robin, who looked completely normal, said calmly without glancing to the side, "After things are done, I might really become a librarian."

At this moment, in the Great Book Gallery, there was another Nico Robin, but not in human form; instead, she was in the form of a little nine-tailed fox, currently wandering among the thousands of books.

Whenever she passed by certain bookshelves, a few petals would fall from beneath her adorable paws, turning into spirit particles and disappearing before they even hit the ground.

Clearly, Nico Robin combined her two abilities with Aizen's manipulation, effectively making her a permanent fixture in the Grand Scripture Corridor.

Normally, the Great Book corridor is closed and outsiders are not allowed to enter, so even though Robin, this little incarnation, lived inside for three months, no one noticed anything unusual.

In the past three months, apart from Aizen and others occasionally sneaking in, there have been no truly legitimate visitors.

However, Robin is not worried about being exposed if someone comes, because if anyone wants to enter the Great Book Corridor, they will definitely have to go through the Eighth Division guarding it, and she will definitely be able to receive the news.

Even if she didn't receive it, it would just be a matter of 'dispelling the ability'. With a thought, the little fox Robin in the Great Spirit Book Corridor would simply dissipate into spirit particles and disappear without a trace.

Without exchanging many words about the Great Book Corridor, Nico Robin said softly, "The Captain-Commander will probably discuss the Arrancars that have appeared in the present world at this council meeting, right?"

"It's part of the plan," Aizen Sousuke said calmly.

Strangely, they weren't far from Kyoraku Shunsui and Yadomaru Lisa walking ahead, but the two seemed completely oblivious to their conversation.

Perhaps this is the terrifying aspect of illusions and fleeting beauty.

Seeing Aizen's calm and confident demeanor, Robin said nothing more and quietly followed behind Kyoraku Shunsui. As Aizen stepped onto a new flight of stairs, the steps beneath his feet rippled like water, dispelling the illusion of a mirage.

This also shows that although Aizen still frequently uses the power of Kyoka Suigetsu, he is not addicted to it or recklessly enjoys the pleasure of manipulating others.

Clearly, some of Bane's teachings had an effect.

When Kyoraku Shunsui arrived at the courtyard of the headquarters, he saw that many captains had already arrived.

Especially Bane, who seems to be flirting with Hana and Shutora Senjumaru.

Before Kyoraku Shunsui could even greet him, Bane seemed to have angered Shutara Senjumaru, as a skeletal prosthetic arm rose up and pinched Bane's ear. Bane, seemingly unconcerned, happened to see Kyoraku Shunsui and greeted him with a smile, "Shunsui, you've arrived."

"I always feel like I came at the wrong time," Kyoraku Shunsui said with a hint of helplessness, looking at Bane, who was being twisted by the ear but didn't seem to care.

"No, you've come at just the right time," Bane laughed.

Shutara Senjumaru wasn't really angry, and he took the opportunity to retract his skeletal prosthetic arm.

Sister Hua, standing to the side, said with a hint of helplessness, "You two are not mature enough at all."

As they were talking, they saw Hirako Shinji and Orochimaru walking side by side on the other side of the street, clearly indicating that the two had come together.

However, since the Fifth Division and the Twelfth Division are indeed quite close, it doesn't feel abrupt.

Behind Hirako Shinji and Orochimaru were their respective vice-captains. Hiyori Sarugaki of the 12th Division was the vice-captain, which goes without saying. Hirako Shinji's vice-captain, however, looked even more arrogant than him, with three cigars in his mouth and smoke billowing from his body. It was none other than Smoker.

If you didn't know better, you'd think Hirako Shinji was the vice-captain and Smoker was the captain.

At the same time, at the end of the street opposite Hirako Shinji, which is the corner in the opposite direction, Shiba Isshin, the captain of the 7th Division, also arrived from that direction, accompanied by Kuruyashiki Kenpachi, the captain of the 11th Division.

The vice-captain behind them was also someone they were very familiar with.

The current vice-captain of the 11th Division is Roronoa Zoro, while the current vice-captain of the 7th Division is Fubuki.

Before they could even get close, Chojiro Sasakibe walked out of the courtyard and addressed the captains and vice-captains gathered in front of the gate: "Gentlemen, the council chamber is now open. Please come in."

Upon hearing this, everyone filed in, and the courtyard of the team's quarters, which had seemed crowded just moments before, suddenly became spacious.

The latest novel is first published here!

There were no newcomers; everyone was already extremely familiar with this kind of court meeting, so there were no major incidents, and everyone sat in their respective positions.

Then, as usual, Shutara Senjumaru started eating sunflower seeds, and Bane also relaxed by picking up the teacup next to him and taking a sip.

Across from her, Sister Hua calmly picked up an orange from the fruit plate and carefully peeled it.

Kyoraku Shunsui has already started asking Kuruyashiki Kenpachi for drinks, while Ukitake Jushiro is chatting with Orochimaru about some worldly matters.

Overall, everyone seemed very relaxed, and the court meeting resembled a tea party.

This situation lasted for more than ten minutes until the captain of the Third Division, Izumi Katsuki, and his vice-captain, Azashiro Sou, walked in from outside. At least everyone except the Captain-Commander was present.

"Sorry, I had some things to take care of and was a little delayed." Quan Sheng greeted everyone with a slightly embarrassed expression.

He had never been the last to arrive before; he was always very strict and demanding of himself, and was usually the first to arrive.

As soon as Quan Sheng sat down, it seemed that everyone had arrived, so they all quieted down and stopped being so casual, straightening their posture.

Only Shutara Senjumaru was still nonchalantly munching on sunflower seeds.

"The Captain-Commander is coming. Give him some face, okay? How many times have I told you?" Bane turned his head and said to Shutara Senjumaru beside him.

"Tsk, hypocritical." Shutara Senjumaru made his usual sarcastic remark, but still put away the melon seeds.

As if to cooperate with her performance, as soon as she stopped speaking, Yamamoto Genryusai walked out from behind the huge screen in the council chamber, came to the main seat, and slowly sat down.

Yamamoto Genryusai's gaze swept over the council chamber, then lingered briefly on Bane. The two exchanged a quick glance and a nod, and that was the end of it.

Then, Yamamoto Genryusai spoke up, saying, "Today's court meeting concerns matters of the present world."

After a slight pause, Chojiro Sasakibe, who was standing beside him, stepped forward, unfolded the scroll in his hand, and said: "The transfer of the Reincarnation Land in the present world has been completed. Now, the Reincarnation Land will be officially named 'Karakura Reincarnation Land'."

No one responded, and Chojiro Sasakibe continued without pausing, "According to reports from the Third, Fourth, Fifth, Eleventh, and Thirteenth Divisions, there are many suspicious aspects to this relocation of the Spirit Realm. However, since the relocation is now complete, we will not discuss it further. We will only discuss the Hollows that have appeared in the mortal world this time."

Although the transfer of the Spirit Land this time was a bit strange, it has indeed ended, so there's no need to worry about it anymore. There's no point in investigating what the specifics of the matter are now.

However, it is important to pay attention to those Hollows that emerged during this transfer of the mortal realm's spiritual land!

Kenpachi Kuruyashiki was the first to speak, saying, "As we all know, Hollows are usually in a competitive and warlike relationship, rarely pairing up, and even less so forming groups. But this time, the Hollows that have appeared in the Human World clearly have a very high level of teamwork, and are even cooperating with each other in battle. This is obviously not right!"

Quan Sheng added, "Leaving aside the Gillian Hollows, it's unbelievable that all those Adjuchas and Vastodes are Arrancar."

Yamamoto Genryusai frowned slightly and asked, "Are these Arrancar and Hollows very strong?"

"Pretty impressive." Kenpachi Kuruyashiki was just about to say, "Some of the captains here are probably no match for him."

For example, Izumi Katsuki or something, but he ultimately didn't say it out loud, as it would be too offensive.

Upon hearing this, Yamamoto Genryusai paused for a moment, then glanced discreetly at Bane sitting below. He saw Bane frowning and whispering something to Kyoraku Shunsui beside him, seemingly discussing the same issue.

Seeing this, Yamamoto Genryusai naturally looked away without giving it much thought.

Clearly, he had sensed some undercurrents in the Soul Society, the Seireitei, and even the Gotei 13, but he hadn't really made any connections.
