Death God: Sunny and Cheerful Boy

Now that Shifengyuan Ichiryu has been appointed as the "chief commander of the expeditionary force", it is most expected. After all, his purpose and achievements are very clear. It can even be said that if he is not promoted this time, it will be a violation of the rules. We must be prepared for a hand-to-hand fight with Shifengyuan Ichiryu and even the entire Shifengyuan family...

Two of the three people must be replaced, and it can't be Shifengyuan Yilong!

Of course, it is hard to say whether there are more suitable candidates among the other two.

Although Kyoraku Haruhira is lazy and sloppy in his daily life, it is not difficult for people who pay attention to notice that Kyoraku is actually one of the few captains who is thoughtful enough. And even if you are not a careful person, you will know that he is the captain-in-chief's favorite student - this identity has a stronger color on him than "born into the upper-class noble Kyoraku family"!

It's obvious that Yamamoto must have strongly recommended Kyoraku to take the position before he took office...

As for Byakuya Kuchiki, he is a role model among the nobles and can be said to be the god of death of the Gotei 13. All positive impressions of the nobles come from Byakuya Kuchiki!

Not only is he using himself as a standard to constrain other nobles, but he is also the last source of impression points for the nobles. Logically, no one should have any objection to his promotion...

but!

Putting these three together makes people feel a little "glaring".

But Yilong also mentioned the "Aizome's defection"...

Three captains who were originally civilian Shinigami defected at once. It would be strange if the influence of this civilian Shinigami class did not collapse.

In this regard, it is completely reasonable for the nobles to regain the upper hand - especially the rapid reorganization of the Forty-Six Chambers, which did not dwell too much on internal friction, also provided great support for the nobles' "regaining the upper hand".

"But whether it's the former Gotei 13 or the current five major forces, it's the place in Seireitei that least cares about 'bloodline theory'. The civilian Shinigami are still the most anticipated here." Yilong brought the topic back to this point.

Indeed, from the captain to the vice-captain to the chief officer, none of them relied on bloodline alone to get to the position, they all have the strength to support them - Omaeda just looks fat and stupid, but he is actually capable and more than qualified to be the vice-captain, so he was able to go on to become the captain with the support of Yilong.

Although there are quite a few people of noble birth in the Gotei 13, but... as Kuchiki said, the proportion of nobles with high spiritual pressure aptitude is much higher than the proportion of individuals with Shinigami aptitude born in the "Ryukon".

Because of genetic qualifications and education, more people hold important positions, which does not count as "bloodline theory".

A person who is a waste in himself, but can hold an important position just because of his bloodline, this is the "bloodline theory" - in Seireitei, outside of the five major forces, there are many departments that adhere to the "bloodline theory"...

The Gotei 13 was formed because of the pressure from the old man, and indeed the nobles also had a consensus to "keep a sharp knife", while the "Secret Mobile Force" was not an easy job to begin with, and the "Kidōshu" was a hard indicator of having [Kidō] abilities.

Ukitake also understood this, and when he heard that Shifengyuan did not intend to practice nepotism in the newly separated "expeditionary force", even though he did not agree with many of Shifengyuan's words, he still echoed a few of them...

"By the way, what does Captain Ukitake think about the vice-captain matter? Rukia is definitely a talent that can be cultivated, and although her last name is Kuchiki, she is an orphan from Rukongai...

“Captain Fuzhu, please don’t try to avoid suspicion. Besides, his last name is just Kui Mu now, and who knows when he will change it!” Yilong expressed his concern again about the deputy captain of the purification team.

Moreover, it can be said that it is legitimate to show concern now, after all, it is originally under the jurisdiction of the "expeditionary force".

"Rukia is still young! Ahem..." Ukitake said unhappily.

After talking with Yilong, Ukitake, who was feeling well today, began to feel like coughing again...

"Of course I believe in Captain Ukitake's vision...but things are different now. The Gotei 13 have been split up to clarify responsibilities and powers. It is absolutely not acceptable for the vice-captain position to remain vacant. Captain Ukitake must make a decision before the New Year, otherwise the team's chief officer will vote." Yilong asked directly.

Then Yilong changed the subject: "By the way, how will Captain Ukitake use the six soul hunters?"

The promise to Tamamo Su and the others was that they would be incorporated into the Gotei 13 after the war, so they could continue to stay in the Soul Society, but...

Ukitake did fulfill his promise, and even the reorganization of the Gotei 13 would not affect them, but Tamamo Su really didn't care, and it wasn't just something she said out of anger at the time!

The reason why there are six people is that one more person than at the beginning is Koga Tsuyoshi. He had an internal conflict with Kariya God halfway through, and was injured by Kariya God and was later rescued by Captain Unohana.

Later, with the intentional cover-up of Ukitake and Tamamo Sue, the result reported was that Koga Tsune had been "undercover beside Kariya God", so he was not liquidated afterwards.

In fact, Koga Tsuyoshi is also an old friend of Oohashi, and unlike other soul hunters, he was not seduced or rebelled by the Soul Society.

He was the personal guard of Prince Daxing. After the death of the prince, he was disheartened and could not face Yumo Su and others...

So when he was wandering in the human world later, Kariya God came to him and talked about "revenge on Seireitei", he immediately agreed.

However, after Kariya God (thought he) could really destroy Soul Society, Koga Tsuyoshi did not want to see the death of a large number of innocent young people, so he had a disagreement with Kariya God and was seriously injured by him.

Later, after seeing Hong's puppet combined state, he insisted on being Hong's bodyguard...

Ukitake said helplessly with some caution at this time: "The two first-generation soul hunters, Tamamo Su and Ziban, have no interest in joining the Purification Team, but they still received the [Proxy Death God] certificate and continued to operate in the world. The other four soul hunters have officially joined the Purification Team."

“Well, then you make proper arrangements. I think they are capable enough to serve as the chief officials…” Yilong saw Fuzhu’s vigilance and didn’t say much.

However, Yilong was very supportive of Ukitake's work, and even made appointments with the 19 officers to have individual talks...

For Yilong, the purification team is no longer a problem; instead, the combat team is the one that gives him a headache.

Although Kenpachi Zaraki has no brains, Ichiryuu must at least make him believe that "Captain Shifengyuan can arrange the strongest enemy for me" in order to make him obey orders...

In addition, in the 11th Division, the proportion of civilian Shinigami is the most exaggerated, accounting for the vast majority, and even most of them are from Rukongai - in other divisions, the vice-captains and chief officers from Rukongai basically all came from the 11th Division.

Especially after Zaraki took office, the 11th Division rarely recruited graduates from the Maou Academy of Spiritual Arts, and basically recruited criminals directly from Rukongai. This is completely different from ordinary divisions, so its management method cannot be referenced from other divisions.

even……

Yilong has a little resistance to Gengmu in his heart!

However, this is also the main purpose of Yilong's efforts to obtain the "expeditionary force". A little resistance is nothing, and he has to go ahead even if he has to bite the bullet!

The 11th Division not only has the strongest direct combat power, but if the captain is not counted, the 11th Division can beat four or five divisions, and... Kenpachi Zaraki is also Ichiryu's main target!

As long as he can make him obey, Ichiryuu will have achieved Aizen's "cooperation"...

In addition, Yilong estimated that he should resign from his supervisory force before the New Year at the latest - after all, it would not be appropriate for them to continue to supervise him, and... this was also Yilong's own plan. Always being the captain of the supervisory force would also affect his prestige!

but……

It is easy to hand over the supervisory force, but what Yilong wants is to resign without giving up power!

Of course, there are many people who are more troubled than Yilong. Not to mention the other two commanders-in-chief, even Komamura, who was transferred to the same position, was very crazy at this time - Shifengyuan! What do you mean by leaving all of your confidants in the prison team?

171. Chapter 171 Combat Team

171.

2023-09-25

Yilong looked up at the plaque of "Combat Team" and took a deep breath... and then walked in!

Yilong had never been here before, and even the supervisory troops would not easily approach the 11th Squadron's barracks.

There was no guard at the door, and no one came to greet us...

Generally speaking, there would be guards at the entrance of the squad room, but the 11th Squadron was often unmanned. At other times, there would be several soldiers with ferocious faces standing guard.

However, when Yilong went to inspect the work of other subordinate teams, they must have been greeted in advance, but the fools here in the combat team pretended not to know... No, after walking in, Yilong found a guy with thick eyebrows, a mustache, and a shoe-horn face, and another short-haired, young-looking Shinigami, waiting for him.

"Captain, you're here? The captain sent the two of us to greet you..." As soon as Xie Horn came up, he greeted Yilong in a vulgar and flattering manner.

Yilong found him familiar and frowned, "You are..."

"My name is Aramaki Makizo. I was the eleventh seat in the eleventh squadron, and now I'm the twelfth seat in the combat team." Aramaki quickly introduced himself.

"Oh, it's you...you even surrendered a position?" Ichiryu also remembered at this time that when Kurotsuchi Mayuri resisted arrest before, Ichiryu had stayed behind to arrest Kurotsuchi Mayuri while letting the soldiers of the 11th Division present hunt down Hiraobu - that "soldier" was Araki Makizo.

He did indeed quietly explain that he was actually the "Eleventh Seat", but Yilong didn't pay attention.

Aramaki nodded without any embarrassment, and then said: "Yes, yes... After all, there is a newcomer like Ichinose in the team... Ahem, such a senior officer has returned!"

Aramaki is one of the very few people in the team who has a little bit of "noble blood", but in reality it can't be said to be "bloodline", it can only be said to be related - to be honest, except for the students of the Shinō Academy of Spiritual Arts and some members of the former Thirteenth Squad, all other people in the Soul Society are "related" to the nobles, or at least their ancestors were "nobles" but have disappeared.

Therefore, in "Rukoundai", there is a saying that "only nobles can enter Seireitei" - as for the "Rukoundai residents who become Shinigami", in fact, in their eyes, they are also a kind of "nobles".

Just to "become the God of Death", there are certain qualifications required, and this was destined from the birth of "Zheng".

With this qualification, there are basically two ways to become a Shinigami. One is to enter the "Mao Spiritual Arts Academy", where you can get it for free if you have excellent qualifications. The other is to become the king of the numbered blocks at the end, and occasionally there will be captain-level Shinigami who will recruit you...

Especially in the past hundred years or so, the captain of the 11th Division, Kenpachi Zaraki, has loved recruiting people from Rukongai.

A "local" of the Seireitei like Aramaki is actually a "minority" in the 11th Division. He is one of the very few who are willing to seek personal gain - of course, he does not dare to seek personal gain too much, otherwise he will not be able to survive in the 11th Division.

But now the task of "receiving leaders" naturally falls on him.

And Maki Ichinose is the old Shinigami from the time of Kenpachi Kuriyashiki. He is actually older than Aramaki and had previously participated in Kariya Gami's revenge on Seireitei - he really wanted revenge on "Seireitei, which recognized the guy who killed Captain Kuriyashiki as its captain."

Even though Zaraki, who killed Kuriyashiki, has been locked up, Ichinose still thinks that Seireitei is blind and that they had to wait for Zaraki to rebel before they realized that he was not a good person and should be destroyed!

Before that, when Kariya was planning to detonate the Purification Chapter, Ichinose had the ideal to attack the Purification Chapter guarded by Kenpachi Zaraki, but he was naturally beaten badly by Kenpachi Zaraki...

The "light illusion" effect of his Zanpakutō [Nijigao] is just an "interesting toy" to Zaraki, "unfortunately not as good as that of the blind man" - it is just a visual illusion, and for Zaraki, he can just close his eyes and start killing people indiscriminately.

Ichinose originally did not trust or approve of Zaraki - because he also killed the previous captain to gain the position.

However, during the battle, Ichinose felt Zaraki's will as their blades collided again and again - the [Zanpakutō] absorbs the spiritual pressure of the user, and over time, it will also reveal the user's mind...

After a "sword fight", Ichinose was chopped down by Zaraki, and at the same time he finally felt relieved.

Later, during the "emergency evacuation", because the situation was more chaotic than expected, Ukitake's promised "send someone to solve it" was not in place, and in the end the 11th Division had to "clean up" on their own, and the 11th Division only had one way to clean up the situation...

Just when it looked like something was about to happen, the seriously injured Ichinose regained consciousness, and barely used the power of his "Zanpakuto" to confuse all the targets who needed to be evacuated - although using illusions on those nobles was not an upright thing to say, and there were many complaints afterwards, but... it was still much better than Zaraki-shiki's purification!

Therefore, after the incident, the report submitted by the 11th Division portrayed Ichinose as an "undercover agent" and even revealed confidential documents within the team.

Forging documents is nothing to these lawless guys in the 11th Division.

Afterwards, Ichinose Maki returned to the 11th Division, and after a series of challenges, he became the fourth seat - in the 11th Division, except for the vice-captain who was designated, all other seats could be challenged by force.

He certainly couldn't beat a corner of the third seat, and he didn't challenge Yumichika who was in the fifth seat - because Yumichika himself didn't like number four and didn't compete with him for the fourth seat at all. And the previous fourth seat was no match for Yumichika either, and directly became the sixth seat. The officials behind him basically withdrew one by one.

Zaraki is the captain of the 11th Division since Kenpachi Kuriyashiki. He has distinct personal characteristics and is widely admired by the team members. This has greatly influenced the style of the team. Previously, the 11th Division was called "Zaraki Team"...

But in fact, more than 200 years ago, during the Kuriyashiki period, the 11th Division did not have labels such as "barbaric" and "vulgar".

Although Kuriyashiki is Kenpachi and has the personality of a martial arts fanatic, his personal charm is more "heroic" and he is very graceful. At that time, there were even many female Shinigami in the 11th Division. Among the female members of the Gotei 13, Kuriyashiki was also very popular. Unlike now, the members are all male, and they are all ferocious. Zaraki himself is notorious!

As an old official from the Kuri-yashiki era, Ichinose naturally knew etiquette.

Although only two people from the combat team came out to greet them, they were indeed the "only two polite" officers in the team.

After greeting Yilong, the two invited him into the team house...

On the way, Yilong also heard the clanking sounds of weapons colliding - it was obvious that the soldiers of the combat team, although they would be lazy on duty, did not really take a rest, but were more spontaneously training, and even... each of them was using a real Zanpakutō!

Apart from the training area, the busiest place is near the team's arena. The air in the entire 11th Squadron dormitory is filled with warlike hormones.

When he was about to reach Kenpachi Zaraki's "tea room", Yilong stopped in his tracks...

Inside, there is a fighting spirit!

This is definitely not a tea room...

And Yilong probably guessed that Zaraki wanted to compete with his "new boss"...

After all, Zaraki was definitely convinced by old Yamamoto, but if someone else wanted to be his "captain-in-chief", it would be hard to say - he didn't make trouble on the spot before, or because Zaraki was interested in Shifengyuan, so he was ready to fight afterwards...

But Yilong had already made preparations!

If Zaraki insists on fighting, Ichiryu has a solution...

Allow him to go to the real world and fight Ichigo to his heart's content!

Yilong had just walked into the room where the combat team's "tea room" was located, and the next moment, a huge blade that pierced the sky and the earth appeared here, completely inconsistent with the laws of space, and chopped down on Yilong's head!

However, apart from the initial shrinkage of his pupils, Yilong did not move at all, allowing it to attack him. The result...

The dragon was unharmed, and all the illusions disappeared with the wind!

That’s right, what just happened was just an illusion.
