Chapter 27

Originally, except for the Captain-Commander, half of the twelve captain seats were empty!

Now.

Only the six remaining captains.

Were looking at Kuchiki Senya, their expressions varied.

Kuchiki Byakuya kept a straight face, looking at the drunken Senya and the gazes of others, his mouth twitching slightly.

Unohana Retsu smiled slightly, Kyōraku Shunsui looked like a salted fish, while Zaraki Kenpachi grinned, full of fighting spirit!

047, Choose, Kuchiki Senya!

"Choose."

Above.

Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni coughed lightly, staring closely at Kuchiki Senya, who had no proper posture below.

Hearing this.

The other captains' expressions became solemn.

One must know.

Kuchiki Senya's treatment was incomparable to anyone else's; he could choose a division freely.

This meant.

Other captains also had the risk of being laid off.

If Kuchiki Senya chose their division, they would only be demoted to lieutenant.

Or transferred to another division...

To be Kuchiki Senya's lieutenant?

Thinking of this.

Everyone's heart tightened.

Leaving other things aside for now.

Kuchiki Senya's slacking off was famous in Soul Society, which meant that not only lieutenant work, but even captain work.

They would have to help Kuchiki Senya complete!

This was simply more painful than death!

Please, please don't choose my division!

The captains prayed secretly in their hearts.

Under everyone's gaze.

Kuchiki Senya just yawned.

His peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a rugged-looking man among the captains.

Shiba Isshin.

10th Division Captain.

Head of the Shiba family branch.

Later, to save Kurosaki Masaki, who was on the verge of death, he voluntarily gave up his captain-level Soul Reaper power.

He became a normal person, married Kurosaki Masaki in the human world, had children, and opened a small clinic.

Furthermore.

Changed his name to Kurosaki Isshin!

And gave birth to three children: Kurosaki Ichigo, Kurosaki Yuzu, and Kurosaki Karin!

And Kurosaki Ichigo.

Was the protagonist of the original work decades later!

However.

He wasn't married or had children yet.

Unlike the greasy uncle image in the original work.

At this time, Isshin's cheeks were thin, he hadn't grown a beard, and he could be considered a rugged-looking man.

Sensing Kuchiki Senya's gaze, Shiba Isshin felt a chill down his back and quickly revealed a harmless smile.

Fearing being noticed by him.

Kuchiki Senya withdrew his gaze.

Looking at the empty seats.

Gotei 13.

Each division had different responsibilities.

1st Division, General Division, strongest combat power.

2nd Division, Stealth Force, responsible for assassination and intelligence.

3rd Division, Support Division, goes to support when other divisions are short-handed.

4th Division, Medical Relief Division.

5th Division, Rescue Division, responsible for the rescue of Soul Reapers in the human world...

Kuchiki Senya took a gulp of wine.

Several divisions.

Each had its pros and cons.

However.

He didn't need to consider these; he just needed to leave things to his lieutenant.

To be a hands-off manager and enjoy life.

Therefore.

To achieve all this.

He needed a capable lieutenant.

And strong intelligence capabilities; after all, intelligence was needed to know where was fun.

Even as the heir to the Kuchiki family.

It was impossible for him to know every detail of intelligence in the entire Soul Society and the human world.

And the 2nd Division.

Was responsible for intelligence gathering and assassination in Soul Society, and its own combat power was also among the top in the 13 divisions.

Furthermore.

The 2nd Division captain in the original work, Soi Fon, was extremely capable.

Unlike Rangiku, who only knew how to slack off and hand over data to Hitsugaya Tōshirō, Soi Fon could perfectly handle everything.

Furthermore.

Soi Fon's own strength.

Her Hakuda and Flash Step levels were close to Yoruichi's, and she possessed the rule-type Zanpakutō, Suzumebachi.

She was a notch stronger than combat power measurement units like Muguruma Kensei!

If she encountered a situation in the future, she could solve it herself, and he wouldn't need to step forward.

It could be said.

She was the best candidate for a deputy!

"2nd Division."

Kuchiki Senya said softly.

Above.

Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni nodded slightly and took Kuchiki Senya's token.

He carved a big "Two" on it.

This was the 2nd Division captain's token, representing the supreme power to control the 2nd Division!

The other captains also breathed a sigh of relief.

Watching Kuchiki Senya turn and leave, heading toward the 2nd Division's barracks.

They secretly burned incense for Soi Fon in their hearts.

"That hardworking little girl is going to be in big trouble from now on."

The captains all shook their heads.

Soi Fon had often followed Yoruichi before, so they naturally all knew her, and at this moment, they were full of sympathy for her.

Hopefully, she could withstand Kuchiki Senya's devastation.

"Lieutenant."

"You haven't left your room for three days; your health is important."

"The new captain has arrived, and our entire division must go to welcome him."

2nd Division barracks.

Outside the door, a burly, fat man with a fleshy face and thick lips knocked on the door.

Ōmaeda Marechiyo looked worried.

The next moment, with a "creak~," the door opened, and Soi Fon walked out, looking haggard with large dark circles under her eyes.

"Let's go." Soi Fon's voice was hoarse.

Before long.

Inside the 2nd Division dojo.

It was densely packed with a surging crowd.

One part was dressed in pitch-black Shihakushō, with Zanpakutō at their waists.

The other part was masked with black cloth, their eyes sharp, like ancient ninjas.

They were all members of the 2nd Division.

Belonging to different departments.

"Above."

"That is our new captain, Lord Kuchiki Senya."

Ōmaeda Marechiyo let out a breath, and Soi Fon also raised her head, looking at the swaying young man above who was reeking of alcohol.

He wasn't even wearing a Shihakushō, but casual clothes, looking like a rich young master out for a stroll.

"Can a person like this really be qualified to be a captain?"

"Kuchiki Senya, although he is the number one genius of Soul Society, he looks too unreliable like this."

048, If you think that way, I'm going to add a burden to you

In the dojo.

Everyone was discussing.

Their eyes were full of confusion, but out of respect for the captain, they did not raise questions to his face.

"He, perhaps knows something."

Soi Fon's lips were pale and she looked haggard; Yoruichi's departure had caused her mentality to collapse, and she couldn't believe it.

Yoruichi.

Had abandoned her!

And Kuchiki Senya, as Yoruichi's good friend, might know the reason why she abandoned her.

Thinking of this.

Soi Fon stepped forward and walked toward Kuchiki Senya.

Kuchiki Senya just took a sip of wine and didn't care, lazily looking at his subordinates below.

Coming here this time.

Was just to explain the future operations and distribute the power within the division.

Then.

He could be a hands-off manager.

Personally manage an entire division?

Absolutely impossible!

Gotei 13.

Each division was divided into ten to twenty squads, each squad with a dozen people.

And the 2nd Division.

Gathered the Stealth Force, the intelligence organization, and the manpower consumed was even more massive.

Twenty squads fully staffed.

Twenty people per squad, adding up to four hundred people!

Furthermore.

Each member's combat power had reached the level of an elite Soul Reaper!

Managing so many people consumed a terrifying amount of mental effort.

This was just the official establishment personnel.

The intelligence network spread throughout Soul Society and infiltrating the human world involved even more manpower.

This was an extremely powerful force.

By comparison.

Other divisions had similar strength; except for the 4th Division, each division had a large number of elite Soul Reaper combatants.

In the original work.

The Kuchiki family's advantage over other families was merely a hereditary 6th Division captaincy, which was enough for the Kuchiki family to serve as the head of the four great noble families.

"Captain Senya."

"Regarding Yoruichi..."

A hoarse female voice sounded.

Kuchiki Senya turned to look, and saw a girl with purple-black bangs, a petite and plain figure, but a very cute appearance.

However.

She was currently in low spirits, her lips were pale, and her eyes had large dark circles, looking like she had suffered a great blow.

"Ha~"

Kuchiki Senya yawned lazily.

Looking at the girl in front of him, who was flat-chested but decisive.

Soi Fon.

Possessed the rule-type Zanpakutō, Suzumebachi.

Shikai's two-hit kill, Bankai's one-hit kill, were both very powerful abilities.

Much stronger than the shame of the captains, Muguruma Kensei.

However.

Due to her own spiritual pressure issues.

She couldn't pose much of a threat to boss characters like Aizen and Captain-Commander Yamamoto.

Originally a lower-ranking noble loyal to the Shihoin family, she later showed extraordinary talent.

She practiced hard and was powerful.

She was favored by Yoruichi, taken as a confidante, and respected Shihoin Yoruichi extremely, regarding her as her role model.

However.

Soi Fon was a proud woman who took obeying laws as her duty and glory.

She was the person who could least tolerate the existence of traitors; if they were enemies, they had to die.

In the original work.

After Yoruichi ran away.

She served as the 2nd Division captain and commander-in-chief of the Stealth Force.

At the same time, her mentality was severely hit, and she held complex feelings of hatred and respect toward Yoruichi.

"Captain Senya?"

Soi Fon looked up at Kuchiki Senya, and the overwhelming feeling of betrayal in her heart was about to drown her.

Right now.

She urgently needed an answer.

"Yoruichi didn't abandon you; she handed you over to me to take care of before she left."

Kuchiki Senya yawned lazily.
