Baraggan Luisenbarn bristled at the words. Darkness poured from him, corroding the ground as it swept toward Kaname Tosen!
Gin Ichimaru watched with his foxlike smile, standing perfectly still as though ready to enjoy the show.
Aizen's expression did not change. He seemed to care neither that Baraggan Luisenbarn had addressed him by name nor that Baraggan was fighting with Kaname Tosen.
Suddenly, a ragged scream rang out. "Ah... Your Majesty, don't... please don't!"
At the miserable cry, Baraggan Luisenbarn frowned. Then he remembered something and looked toward Aizen.
Aizen still wore his gentle smile. "Don't be rash. You wouldn't want to make me angry."
As he spoke, the scene before them changed. The darkness Baraggan Luisenbarn had unleashed had not engulfed Kaname Tosen. It had engulfed one of the Intermediate Menos Grande under his own command!
The Menos Grande had rotted away until only its head remained, still crying, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
Baraggan Luisenbarn stared at his subordinate and roared, "Aizen!"
His furious roar was laced with helplessness. Aizen's Complete Hypnosis was too terrifying. Baraggan had no way of knowing whom he was killing. One wrong move, and he might even kill himself!
Kaname Tosen sneered. "Lord Aizen's authority is not something you should challenge so lightly."
"You..." Baraggan Luisenbarn seethed.
Aizen kept smiling. "That's enough. You're all companions now. Don't quarrel."
His words were soothing, but his eyes were cold. He did not care whether either of them lived or died.
Baraggan Luisenbarn fell silent and glared at Aizen. Bastard... One day, I'll kill you!
As Baraggan Luisenbarn raged inwardly, Gin Ichimaru spoke up. "My, my... Lord Aizen, we should hurry. We can't stay away from Soul Society for too long."
Aizen nodded. "True... I believe I have a calligraphy lesson to teach later."
Still smiling calmly,
