Seireitei returned to a state of calm.
Well, it could not exactly be called a return. Rather, the entire Seireitei had always remained peaceful and stable.
The captains had nothing to do every day, and news from the expeditionary force in Hueco Mundo occasionally made its way back, with nothing of note.
Aizen had also temporarily abandoned his Arrancar plan. Because of that, Hirako Shinji and the others, who had gone to Rukongai to investigate last night, encountered no mishaps.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, Aizen would already have drawn Hirako Shinji and the others into his scheme, preparing to carry out his Visored plan.
For now, everything appeared peaceful.
But Aizen letting go did not mean the matter was over. Hirako Shinji's investigation had already begun, and he would certainly pursue it to the end.
Meanwhile, Yamamoto Genryusai had been training himself like mad these past few days. After taking the weakened version of the Fountain of Youth, he had gradually begun to feel the strength of his youth returning.
Combined with his frenzied training, his strength had risen to another level compared to before.
Armament Haki in particular had grown stronger through Yamamoto Genryusai's training over the past few days.
It had not automatically risen to its peak the moment he exchanged for it from the Main God.
After fully mastering this power from the One Piece World, he was confident that he could unleash sword strikes and Hakuda three times stronger than before.
He was even more confident about the next mission.
Moreover, Yamamoto Genryusai wanted to exchange for the Six Powers he had seen before after the next mission.
It was not because he wanted to learn them himself. Techniques of that level had long since become optional to him.
He wanted to promote them throughout Seireitei.
