Sōkyoku.
The execution platform, which is slightly like an island suspended in the air, is a rock wall suspension platform visible to the naked eye. On the platform stands the torture instrument used to execute Rukia Kuchiki, which consists of a spear and a rack.
A dragnet has been laid here.
2nd Division Stealth Force, there are team members who are proficient in assassination and are placed in positions that are difficult for people to detect. Even in the sky, there are assassins who use equipment to hide their figures.
Its captain Soi Fon fought with other captains.
The only captains standing in line again are 2nd Division, captain Soi Fon, 3rd Division, captain Ichimaru Gin, Fourth Division, captain Retsu Unohana, 6th Division captain Byakuya Kuchiki, 7th Division captain Sajin Komamura, 10th Division captain Toshiro Hitsugaya.
Almost half of the captains of Gotei 13 are waiting here. On the surface, it seems that there is no large-scale plan to ambush Aizen.
But with the six captains here, they believe that they can intimidate anyone.
What's more, the commander-in-chief will personally take part in the execution this time.
No one will believe that Aizen can deal with the captain.
Rukia Kuchiki is of slim stature, wearing a white prison uniform, and has been restrained on the execution platform. He looks at his brother Byakuya Kuchiki from time to time, lowering his eyes.
"Captain!"
"Captain!"
First Division When the team members guarding the entrance and exit saw the captain coming alone, they all knelt down and saluted.
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto slowly entered from the entrance with his eyelids drooping, exuding powerful solemnity and strong pressure.
"Captain, everything is ready." Third Seat Genshirō Okikiba of First Division has his hair slicked back, a beard, and part of his hair on the right side is black. He looks like a tough, tough semi-old man.
He half-knelt on the ground and saluted Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, feeling slightly surprised.
Under normal circumstances, he reports and hands over directly to his boss, First Division deputy captain Chōjirō Sasakibe.
Many commands are also notified and issued by Chōjirō Sasakibe.
This time, coordinating the communication orders of each division and coordinating the preparations, they also reported directly to Takuchojiro, who then reported to the top leader, Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto.
But now Chōjirō Sasakibe doesn't know where to go, and Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto appears alone again. Genshirō Okikiba has no choice but to report to Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto feeling a little strange.
At such an important moment, shouldn't deputy captain Chōjirō Sasakibe be closely followed by Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto?
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto just nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice:
"Let's get started."
"Yes!" Genshirō Okikiba felt strange again. Is it a little too early to start now?
However, considering that the captain might be disrupting Aizen's plan, Genshirō Okikiba, even though he felt a little strange, had no doubts and responded directly, preparing to act according to everything prepared.
The many captains standing aside had no objections.
It's just to advance the execution time and disrupt Aizen's plan.
Although Seireitei is a feudal society with rigid and strict rules on time, when the captain of Gotei 13 spoke, the other captains had no objections.
In the hearts of many captains, the majesty and command of the captain of the Thirteenth Body Protection Team are better than that of Central 46 Chambers who is not at the scene.
There were no orders that were too unusual, and many captains obeyed them without objection.
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto raised his head towards the execution platform, put his hands on the wooden staff, opened his drooping old eyelids, and seemed to have a smile on his lips, and looked at Rukia Kuchiki with a stern face like a drooping old man:
"Rukia Kuchiki, do you have any last words to confess?"
In fact, with the noble status of Rukia and the status of Bleach, although they committed a serious crime of lending their power to ordinary people, the crime is not worthy of death.
Charges range from minor to confinement to the death penalty.
But want to execute a noble?
This is something that is talked about all day and night. Most of them are symbolic punishments such as confinement and foot confinement for more than ten years, which are severe enough for nobles. Direct execution is almost impossible, not to mention the execution in advance in such a fast and step-by-step manner.
Strictly speaking, it does not meet the actual situation of Seireitei's noble family, even if Rukia Kuchiki is the adopted daughter of the Kuchiki Clan.
If Aizen hadn't massacred Central 46 Chambers behind the scenes and issued orders under the guise of Central 46 Chambers, it would have been impossible for Rukia Kuchiki to lead to his execution.
"Yes, there is only one thing... let Ichigo and the others go back to World of the Living to live safely." Rukia Kuchiki said his last wish with a pale face.
"Well, as you wish, after the execution is over, let Ryouka go back safely." Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto responded without hesitation.
"Thank you very much." A smile appeared on Rukia Kuchiki's pale face, which was considered good news for her at present.
Many captains and vice-captains stood aside, some of them tilted their heads and couldn't bear to look directly.
This is simply impossible.
"It's too much. In fact, we have no intention of letting them go back alive." Fourth Division's deputy captain Isane Kotetsu turned his face sideways and couldn't bear to look at Rukia Kuchiki who was being executed, and whispered in an uncomfortable voice.
Captain Fourth Division, Retsu Unohana, who was next to her, heard what Isane Kotetsu said and responded softly, "This is not excessive, Yongyin, this is compassion."
In the eyes of a person like Retsu Unohana, who was once a murderer, being able to let the dying person die in peace is already a mercy.
On the contrary, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, who promised to let Ryouka go back safely but then reneged on his promise, would be criticized by everyone in the future. He shouldered this criticism and gave the deceased the mercy to die peacefully.
"Captain..." Isane Kotetsu said in a low voice without knowing much.
"Since it is an unavoidable ending, at least try to let her go without any hesitation, at least... let her leave with peace of mind." Retsu Unohana said softly.
After Retsu Unohana finished speaking, the executioners who were preparing for the execution at Sōkyoku had already liberated Sōkyoku.
A huge amount of spiritual power soared into the sky from the spear, and the ropes tied to the spear were rotated and untied. The powerful impact of the spiritual power solidified the ropes hard, and then spiraled down around them.
The entire Seireitei could see this powerful spiritual power gushing out, knowing that Sōkyoku was liberated and the execution was about to begin.
Rukia Kuchiki's limbs were bound by invisible stones, his hands were spread out, and he was raised to the execution platform in a cross shape.
'Boom'
The spear turned into a huge amount of flames, and the flames vaguely formed a big flaming bird, flying towards Rukia Kuchiki on the execution rack.
Several young vice-captains had never seen such a powerful Sōkyoku being liberated. When they were sighing at its power, in the distant sky, Jushiro Ukitake and Ichigo Kurosaki were rushing over.
