In the final moments of this great victory in Soul Society, the Captain-Commander, hoping to secure a permanent solution, went to Las Noches, but quickly returned. What exactly happened remains a mystery to the Captain-Commander, and no one else should inquire.
This great victory had an enormous impact. First, it laid the foundation for what truly became the Silent Sand Sea region centuries later, causing a dramatic reduction in the number of Hollows.
Then, the Baraggan Empire was completely crushed. After that, the Baraggan Empire changed its development strategy, mainly focusing on Vasto Lorde and Adjuchas, and also bringing some Gillian, but completely abandoning Ordinary Hollows.
It's possible that the change in thinking was due to the addition of Szayelaporro, the Old Eight; nobody really knows for sure. However, it's just that Soul Society has no sources of information on this, but Pure Soul does have some.
Among the major events continuing to unfold in Soul Society, a new batch of lower-ranking nobles has been selected for promotion, but it seems to be the last wave. Therefore, the Main-house faction have chosen thirty-seven candidates.
The Central 46 naturally disagreed, leading to a long argument. At this point, the Captain-Commander in. This old fox recommended seven people himself, and through a series of maneuvers, he replaced the seven people Main-house faction. However, the thirty-seven lower-ranking nobles were indeed successfully promoted.
Three members of the Central 46 died in the past hundred years. Among those selected again, one was from the Main-house faction. Anyway, the Main-house faction is making efforts and has managed to turn the tide a little.
And that's about it. Jun was curious about what happened to the Captain-Commander in Las Noches afterward, but having just returned from the World of the Living, he knew he wouldn't be going World of the Living this year. Very well, this year was essentially wasted.
At the beginning of the second year, Jun went to the World of the Living, mainly to Hueco Mundo, to get some information.
At the time Oka and Starrk were observing the battle from a distance. Regarding the Captain-Commander's displayed strength, the Arrancar thought it was alright. However, this was merely Shikai; the Arrancar understood the difference between Shikai and Release, that is, the difference between Arrancar and Resurrección. Only then did the Arrancar realize it was truly terrifying.
However, judging from the Visionary of several Arrancar, they are all confident that they can take on the Captain-Commander one-on-one. They may not win, but they won't lose too badly either.
The main point is still about what happened to the Captain-Commander back then, right? Actually, Baraggan was quite cowardly; the two of them never even met. After learning that the army was basically wiped out, and that all his Vasto Lorde were either dead or had escaped, Baraggan enveloped the entire Las Noches with an aura of death.
The Captain-Commander faced this situation: Captain-Commander was helpless against the Hollow's Reiatsu, especially since he had fought a battle before arriving. He tried Captain-Commander, only to discover that his Ryūjin Jakka was still somewhat inferior to Baraggan's Respira.
If we were to rank Spiritual Power attributes, as I've mentioned before, Ryūjin Jakka doesn't lie in the sheer power of her sword, but rather in the incredible power of the Captain-Commander.
Baraggan himself is quite powerful, right? And his Respira Spiritual Power is top-tier in terms of ability, at least in terms of elemental attack, it's the most powerful attribute.
In the original work, if Soi Fon hadn't sacrificed an arm, and Visored the pink-haired, chubby Deputy Kidō Chief Hachigen Ushōda hadn't used Space Kidō to inject the Respira into Baraggan's body, using his own weapon against him and causing Baraggan to kill himself, then no one on the scene could have done anything to him; no one could have helped.
This is why Baraggan looks down on the Starrk; their abilities are truly overpowered, incredibly difficult to counter, and utterly shameless.
Then this time, Chun met Miss Natasha, the Black Widow who had previously separated from the group, Natasha Titos.
She witnessed the epic battle, and then was captured by the Starrk. She had already left a message saying she would join them again, but this time, being captured, she kept her promise and stayed.
Chun's first reaction upon seeing her was to be mesmerized; she couldn't take her eyes off her—she was so beautiful! How could someone be so gorgeous!? However, thanks to Clear Rain's abilities, Chun quickly recovered from the initial impression, but even then, she was still incredibly beautiful.
"Ah~ you're the pure one they're talking about?"
"It's me"
Natasha walked over to Jun and hugged her. It was then that Jun realized how tall Natasha was! Jun is a standard 1.83 meters tall, but this girl is 1.91 meters—can you believe it? And her figure looks very unusual, almost like a character from Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, with an eleven-head-tall proportion, which is why people often misjudge her height.
"What a nice man~" She hugged Jun from behind, the touch on his back was so comfortable. "You're nothing like any other Soul Reaper I've ever met."
Chun was still enjoying the sensations when she heard her words. She turned to look at the beautiful woman, and the two seemed to be in a very ambiguous situation. Imagine a 1.91-meter-tall woman hugging a 1.83-meter-tall man from behind, then slightly raising one foot so that her head could rest on his shoulder—because her chest was too big to touch his.
Chun almost kissed him when she turned her head, but there was no ambiguity between them. Chun is very good at resisting temptation; taking advantage is fine, but making a mistake is unlikely.
Have you seen other Soul Reaper? Before or after Arrancar?
"Mmm~", Natasha's lips lightly touched Chun's cheek, but Chun dodged away, otherwise she might have really gone inside. This action made Natasha release Chun, and she said with some annoyance, "Boring man~, I've seen Soul Reaper, just like this, she was completely infatuated with me~"
"Her? A woman?"
"Of course she's a woman."
"Could you bring her here?"
"Hey~ Don't you think I've already eaten him?"
"I don't think you treat me like you would treat food," Chun casually asked someone else, "Hey~ speaking of which, do you guys still feel like eating Death when you encounter Soul Reaper?"
"Well," after a moment's thought, some shook their heads and some shrugged, but their answers were all the same, "No way~, if we don't like it, we'll just kill it. Eating it is too disgusting."
"Great, that's human nature. When it comes to beings of higher intelligence, if communication is possible, humans are unlikely to want to eat them, unless they are extremely psychologically disturbed."
"Tch~", Miss Natasha was a little unhappy, "Okay, okay, I didn't eat her, but I can't bring her to you now. She's over in the Deathmist Swamp. She ran away after seeing me, and I don't know where she is."
"I didn't ask you to bring her here now. I hope you can help me find her later when we explore the connecting space of the Deathmist Swamp, and then bring her to the Secret Base. Don't worry, the Soul Reaper who can survive in Hueco Mundo are all very resilient and won't particularly care about your existence."
How did you know I was exploring the Deathmist Swamp?
"Hehe," she chuckled gently, "Just guessing~"
"Ugh~ I don't like men who are too smart, they're so annoying~"
Actually, I discovered this purely from her comments. If she were the type who didn't have a team, she would have left from the start like Ulquiorra. But she stayed, then left again, and if she didn't intend to come back, she naturally wouldn't have left any messages like "we'll meet again someday."
The lifespan of Arrancar is incredibly long. Unless they never return, they'll inevitably run into each other again. And since she's back now, Chun really thinks she just went out on an errand.
For example, upon learning that the Deathmist Swamp was extremely unfriendly to the Starrk, and that her own symbol was a spider (although Black Widow isn't a swamp-type creature, spiders are generally more adaptable to the area than wolves), she arrogantly went off to explore on her own—a typical childish behavior, suitable for Arrancars whose humanity isn't yet fully developed.
So, just looking at her gives off a parent-child vibe, and that kind of look definitely hurts Natasha. But seriously, since Starrk and Natasha are both in it, why not form an Avengers? Hahaha.
Jun only went to Hueco Mundo for a quick look; there was no reason for her to stay there for long. However, Natasha's suggestion, Jun mentioned it briefly: if she encountered Soul Reaper wandering Hueco Mundo in the future, she should help bring them back. Of course, if they were the kind of Shinigami that couldn't be persuaded no matter what, it wouldn't matter if they were left to fend for themselves.
Back in Soul Society were pretty much the same. Since the Baraggan Empire had collapsed, patrol missions rarely encountered Menos Grande anymore, and it was back to its old state—not very interesting.
In this situation, Jun has been in the Soul Society for several hundred years and is now a nobleman, right? He might as well use his status; he's long since integrated into the lifestyle of the Soul Society.
So he neglected his duties and spent his days drinking, sometimes for an entire day. He especially enjoyed challenging Kuruyashiki Kenpachi and Shunsui Kyōraku to drinking contests, which was truly exhilarating. Jun didn't care what Kyōraku was like, because he was practically becoming the same way.
As for the undercurrents in Soul Society, what does that have to do with me? As long as I'm doing well, that's all that matters. Anyway, my own power is still developing. You guys are causing civil war, giving me time to grow. I'm more than happy to see you cause trouble! Go ahead and cause trouble!
A few days later, Aizen showed up at the door, much to Aizen's surprise.
"My chess piece has already enrolled; I hope you two will take good care of it."
"Your pawn?" Aizen, though they were husband and wife, knew Isuzu wouldn't be around when he said "pawn."
"You've seen them too, those two kids we met in Rukongai over eighty years ago. One of the girls almost bumped into you."
"Oh~", Chun had already guessed it in her heart, but now she still had to suddenly realize, "They've all enrolled?"
"Um"
"All of them?"
No, it's the boy.
"Oh, it's alright. Whether you guide one or teach two, it's the same thing. Don't worry."
Aizen smiled, "Thank you."
"Sure thing~"
After Aizen left, Jun told Isuzu about it, Isuzu, of course, had no objections. She loved children, especially teaching them at the academy.
However, Jun realized something was wrong that night. Isuzu and he had a very passionate night together, and after they made love, Jun held her...
"What's wrong? You seem a bit crazy."
Isuzu turned to look at Jun, their eyes met, Isuzu suddenly felt a touch of girlish shyness. "Jun~ Let's have a child."
Jun was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered. Then she sighed with deep emotion. She had never really thought about having a child, but now that Isuzu had asked, Jun suddenly felt it was okay!
I'm still a nobleman, Soul Society just finished a war and won. It's probably about 300 years since the original story, and there doesn't seem to be much going on between then Aizen power a hundred years ago. Having a child wouldn't be bad!
"Good"
"Hmm~"
