The captains of every division were stunned by the Captain-Commander's words, finding them unbelievable! Yet they knew this matter had truly become serious! And they also knew that the theft of the Sōkyoku had provoked such fury from the Captain-Commander, which clearly meant the Sōkyoku itself was anything but ordinary!
After a moment of silence, Soifon of the Second Division used Shunpo and vanished in a streak of light!
Byakuya Kuchiki pondered for a while as well before using Shunpo to disappear! After all, as someone who strictly followed the rules, he naturally had to obey orders!
Shunsui Kyoraku, on the other hand, leisurely sipped his wine without the slightest urgency! He seemed unconcerned by the theft of the Sōkyoku, but as he drank, his gaze observed the changes in the other captains!
Retsu Unohana was also puzzled. She gave the Captain-Commander a deep look before using Shunpo to disappear!

Mayuri roared in his heart, completely unable to make sense of the situation! He naturally knew where the Sōkyoku was! After all, he had stolen it, brought it into the World of the Living, and Ren had used it to temper the Shura Sword!
Mayuri had personally watched the Sōkyoku disappear, ultimately becoming nourishment for the Shura Sword! But he had only thought the Sōkyoku was an ordinary execution tool, nothing significant at all! Who could have known that losing it would provoke the Captain-Commander's fury—such immense fury at that!
Mayuri wailed inwardly, "Sigh... Lord Ren, you've gotten me killed this time!"
Mayuri wailed as sweat
