Soi Fon is on his way to being scolded.
The Gotei 13 is a military-style organization with a clear system of rewards and punishments. Failure to complete a mission will result in either a scolding or severe punishment.
As the captain of the squad, he enjoys many honors, but the responsibility on his shoulders is even heavier.
One failure is not allowed, let alone a second.
She walked through the spacious corridor to the entrance of the hall where the Captains' Meeting was being held.
The wooden door, which was at least twenty meters tall, made her look so small. A single character was written in black ink in the center of the door.
Soi Fon reached out and pushed open the door; it wasn't heavy, he could open it with a little effort.
Glug glug.
Infinity seawater poured out from the cracks in the door, as if one were in the deep sea. The powerful pressure was enough to make any Shinigami below the level of the vice-captain go weak in the knees.
All twelve team captains gathered.
Arranged in order, at the very center sat a bald, long-bearded old man in a chair, his hands resting on his cane, his eyes half-closed, and his voice extremely loud. "It seems everyone is here. Let me explain the reason for this gathering, Second Division Captain Soi Fon."
"On April 10, the criminal Shiraishi was arrested on the orders of the Central 46 Chambers, but he escaped on the 12th."
On the 21st, while at the Tsunayashiro family's residence, he was killed by Shiraishi right before his eyes, and in addition, he failed to eliminate the Hollow created by Takehiko Tsunayashiro Takehiko Tsunayashiro, letting the criminal escape.
"This series of failures is a very serious lapse in composure. Do you have anything to say about it?"
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's tone was devoid of anger, and his expression was as calm as a plant; his mere open eyes alone created an extremely powerful sense of oppression.
Soi Fon pursed his lips and Kaidō, "I have nothing to say."
"Is that so?" Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's eyes narrowed again. "Very well, I've decided to impose the Punishment of the Solid Rock ' on you for ten days."
"I have no objection," Soi Fon answered truthfully, without a trace of resentment. Insufficient ability must be punished; without punishment, he wouldn't be able to truly remember the shame of this defeat.
Is that guy really that strong?
Kenpachi Zaraki, seeing that the punishment was over, immediately stepped forward to inquire. He was still lost when he was Denreishinki to return to Seireitei for Captains' Meeting.
I was initially impatient, but I became a little interested when I heard it was related to Shiraishi.
Soi Fon didn't answer. Her relationship with Kenpachi Zaraki wasn't very good; one was rule-abiding, and the other was carefree and unrestrained.
She had no intention of answering any of this guy's questions.
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto slammed his cane into the ground, making a thud. "Another topic of this meeting is how to deal with the sinner, Shiraishi. Captain Soi Fon, tell me all the information you have."
When the Captain-Commander spoke, Soi Fon broke his silence and said, "The known information is that he possesses a Zanpakuto that is often in its Shikai state. His swordsmanship is bizarre; even with seemingly illogical stances, he can still accurately deliver attacks that are impossible to dodge."
It can pass through other people's bodies, unleashing strange winds that cannot be dispersed and stir up people.
The instant he floats up, Shiraishi will approach with almost teleportation speed, unleashing three sword strikes: an upward slash, a horizontal slash, and a vertical cleave.
"Most importantly, his Reiatsu is very well concealed. Even if my Reiatsu Reiatsu is close to his, I cannot sense it unless the blades touch."
"Oh, that sounds really interesting."
Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi of the Twelfth Division spoke up, driven by a strong thirst for knowledge about strange phenomena and abilities. "Let the Twelfth Division arrest that guy."
"Nie, he's my prey, don't interfere."
Kenpachi Zaraki glanced sideways with his left eye. "If you want to kill me, then that's another story."
"..." Mayuri Kurotsuchi did not reply. He hated this kind of beast the most and had no intention of backing down. How could he give such interesting research material to others?
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto paid no attention to their argument, instead pondering who to send to capture Shiraishi and take him back to the Great Underground Prison.
Those who have reached the Captain-level of strength cannot be killed casually, as that would disrupt the balance of the world. The best way to deal with them is to capture Muken Guanzhu.
If we can't catch them, then we'll have to kill them.
The plan raced through his mind, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto glanced at the team leaders, asking, "What are your thoughts on Shiraishi?"
"Ahem, Captain-Commander Yamamoto," Captain Isshin Shiba of the Tenth Division stepped forward, forcing a smile, and said, "I've heard that Shiraishi isn't a bad person. He killed the Fifth Seat of the Second Division because he couldn't stand the way the other party bullied the residents of Rukongai."
I also don't recommend taking action against him.
Jūshirō Ukitake offered his advice, arguing that Shiraishi would not intentionally oppose the Seireitei and that forcibly sending people to arrest him would only push the other side to the opposite side.
Thump!
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto slammed his cane on the ground, his voice laced with anger, "Absurd!"
The intense Reiatsu scorched the captains like fire.
"No matter what Hasegawa, the Fifth Seat, has done wrong, it should be us who punish him, not an outsider like him."
"As captains, don't you even understand this?"
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's gaze swept across the two men with lightning speed.
They looked helpless.
The Captains' Meeting was supposed to be a democratic discussion, but in reality it was still the Captain-Commander's personal fiefdom. If something pleased him, it would be passed; if it didn't, it would be rejected outright.
There was no point in saying more, so the two of them returned to the queue.
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto snorted and immediately made a decision, "Find out Shiraishi's whereabouts as soon as possible. Once there is news, a temporary subjugation team will be formed, consisting of the Eighth Division Shunsui Kyōraku, the 11th Division Captain Kenpachi Zaraki, the Twelfth Division Mayuri Kurotsuchi, and the Second Division Captain Soi Fon, to subjugate him."
Capture them alive, or kill them if necessary; failure is absolutely unacceptable!
"Tsk." Kenpachi Zaraki was dissatisfied with this arrangement. He wouldn't let anyone interfere with his battle. Anyone who dared to help, he would kill them first.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi's eyes darted around.
"Eh." Shunsui Kyōraku looked helpless, pulling down his Soi Fon hat. Going on missions with Soi-chan was fine, but with Zaraki and Kurotsuchi, things would become very troublesome.
He hates troublesome things.
" The Punishment of the Solid Rock will be carried out upon completion of this mission."
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto gave the final summary, saying, "Meeting adjourned."
The team leaders said nothing and turned to leave the hall in unison.
The moment they stepped outside, they used Shunpo to scatter and regroup with their respective adjutants.
" Captain Soi Fon, the Captain-Commander hasn't issued any disciplinary orders to you, has he?"
Soi Fon Kick landed in a corridor, where a tall and muscular man appeared beside him, dressed in a purple high-necked Shihakushō with adjutant epaulets on his shoulders.
" Ōmaeda, go to the Research and Development Institute and make two Gigai for me, one of me and one of Shiraishi. Don't let anyone know that I ordered you to do this."
With Soi Fon face, Suifeng gave the order, thinking that he hadn't repaid the life-saving grace and absolutely could not let Shiraishi fall into the hands of Seireitei.
