"What did you say?" Shinji Hirako was taken aback;
"The captain has the right to appoint the vice-captain, and similarly, the team members have the right to refuse appointments. Well, although the latter is rarely used in practice, it still gives me the option of not becoming the vice -Captain Hirako. Perhaps you should apologize to your comrades, because I chose you, which is why you and your comrades ended up lying there."
"Aizen!" Shinji Hirako picked up his Zanpakuto and stood up, but immediately a thick, white liquid gushed from his mouth and eyes;
"Thank you for provoking me so easily," Aizen said with a smile.
"Damn it! Even me?" Shinji Hirako exclaimed. As he spoke, the mask on his face began to slowly take shape, but it was only partially formed, and his vision was slightly blurred.
Hiyori seeing Shinji Hirako in this state, Hiyori exclaimed in surprise, "Shinji!"
"Chen Fan, I don't care who you are or what your purpose is, take Hiyori away right now!" Shinji Hirako shouted anxiously at Chen Fan.
"Why didn't you give me Hiyori sooner? This wouldn't have happened, would it?" Chen Fan said, not minding rubbing salt into the wound. It was his fault for wasting time; now he couldn't leave even if he wanted to, it depended on Lan Da's mood.
Shinji Hirako was speechless. Chen Fan was right; Aizen's reasoning was flawed, but if he himself was the culprit behind all of this...
"Damn it! Shinji! What are you thinking? The enemy is right in front of you! He's the one who's ruined everyone like this!" Hiyori shouted at Shinji Hirako.
"Chen Fan, you bastard! Are you not hypnotized? Hurry up and kill them!"
"You make it sound so simple. Have you forgotten about that Kido that abandoned chanting?" Chen Fan said, waving his hand dismissively.
Upon hearing Chen Fan's words, Hiyori Shinji Hirako realized that Aizen's Kido was clearly beyond the level of an average captain. Their expressions changed involuntarily. Could it be that...?
"That's right, this guy is incredibly strong; otherwise, he wouldn't have told us about his Zanpakuto's abilities." Chen Fan noticed the change in their expressions and knew they had figured it out, so he spoke up.
"Truly worthy of being the man I've chosen, a soul from another world? I'm extremely interested. If my research is even more successful, I'll also make you Hollowfication. I wonder what that will be like then?" Aizen said with a smile;
Chen Fan smiled and said, "So, am I also a material?"
"Hmm... exceptional material! Better than anyone else's, so I'll have to keep it a little longer." With that, Aizen turned and left.
"Stop, Aizen!" Shinji Hirako shouted.
Suddenly, several figures appeared around them; they were the same people who had just Hollowfication. Following Aizen's orders, Kaname Tosen also severed the iron pillars binding Hakuya Kuchiki stood up again.
These people look almost exactly like wild beasts.
"Enjoy yourselves, Lord Chen Fan, Captain Hirako, you are both my best material." Aizen's laughter rang out;
"Damn it..." Shinji Hirako shouted to the sky, but his voice was quickly drowned out by the voices of the people around him;
"I'll hold them off. You must bring Hiyori back. I've been affected too. Hurry and inform Kisuke; he might have a way to save us," Shinji Hirako said, then charged forward alone.
"Hirako! Let me go! I want to fight too!" Hiyori shouted at Chen Fan;
Chen Fan glanced at Shinji Hirako indifferently. This person was indeed as depicted in the anime—not very good at expressing himself.
"Alright! You don't need to say anything more, I'll help!" Chen Fan said.
No matter how powerful Shinji Hirako was, he was still just a person, and he wasn't completely Hollowfication. His mask was only half-masked, and he could still maintain a slight level of consciousness. Moreover, the others had already noticed Chen Fan. Compared to Shinji Hirako's half- Hollowfication spiritual pressure, Chen Fan's Shinigami pressure was much more attractive to them.
"Grudge Blade! Fūjin!..." As Chen Fan spoke these words, he pushed off the ground, instantly soaring into the sky with Hiyori. Seeing this, the other Hollows also abandoned their attacks on Shinji Hirako and rushed towards Chen Fan in the sky.
"Without drawing its blade! The form of 'strength'!"
He gripped the hilt of the knife, pointed the tip downwards, and a tremendous force struck several people squarely.
