" The Captain Soi Fon will be in charge of squads two and three!" " The Captain Komamura will be in charge of squads one, ten, eleven, and thirteen!"
" Captain Kuchiki has completed the sixth stage of surgery. Squads 8 and 9 are preparing for the transfer."
Retsu Unohana stood amidst a vast expanse of ruins, loudly directing the Fourth Division soldiers, making sure they understood their next move.
"I'm fine, you all go and take care of others."
Sajin Komamura's injuries were extremely serious, and he had no intention of receiving treatment himself, only wanting others to receive more comprehensive care.
He's tough as nails; he can grit his teeth and get through it.
" Captain Komamura, this is too reckless of you."
Isane Kotetsu a weak word of advice.
" Captain Unohana! Captain Soi Fon's injuries are too severe. He needs to activate his Purifying Air Barrier. It's estimated that he won't be able to be transferred to the General Infirmary until the eighth stage of surgery is completed."
"Okay, we'll do as you say."
Retsu Unohana glanced at him and immediately realized that their judgment was correct; this person was seriously injured.
It's not fair to blame the weak Soi Fon.
Compared to the monsters of the Muken, who have lived for thousands or hundreds of years, Soi Fon, who has been a captain for less than a hundred years, is too inexperienced, especially since he has not been able to Bankai and is only relying on Shikai. He is no match for the enemy.
Captain Kuchiki made the same mistake, and was defeated before he could even use his Bankai. The arrogance of a noble can sometimes be detrimental.
Captain Komamura is the only one who can use Bankai, but unfortunately, his Bankai makes him a huge target.
To be honest, in that situation, it could have lasted even longer if it hadn't been used.
In the end, it was she, Captain-Commander Yamamoto and Captain Kyōraku, who shouldered everything.
" Captain Unohana and Captain Komamura refuse to let us receive treatment and insist on leaving."
Unable to dissuade Isane Kotetsu, she ran over to seek the captain's help.
Retsu Unohana Shunpo to block Sajin Komamura, her face beaming with a smile no less radiant than the bright sunshine. " Captain Komamura, you're so energetic even though you're seriously injured. You truly have the spirit of a man."
"But injured people are best advised to obey doctors."
At this point, she opened her crescent-shaped eyes and said, "From the moment you were injured, your life was no longer in your own hands, but in ours. Please don't forget that."
Hiss, Sajin Komamura took a deep breath, his furry ears twitching. He hadn't forgotten the scene when he fought the prisoner Muken, who hadn't even drawn his sword, relying entirely on Kidō, Hakuda, and Shunpo.
That's not what I meant.
"Then be a good boy and listen to me." Retsu Unohana smiled brightly again, her tone brooking no disobedience.
Sajin Komamura twitched his ears, then sighed helplessly, "Fine."
Just then, a member of the Riteitai suddenly appeared in Shunpo, knelt on one knee, and said, " Captain Unohana, the Captain-Commander requests that you come to the main hall for Captains' Meeting."
"It is I," Sajin Komamura wanted to speak up, but was stared at by Retsu Unohana's clear almond-shaped eyes, and couldn't finish his sentence. He turned and walked towards Isane Kotetsu.
Retsu Unohana didn't say anything more, Shunpo to leave. The ruins stretched for thirty or forty kilometers before complete buildings appeared.
The Shin'ō District suffered heavy losses in this battle, and it's unknown when it will be able to fully recover.
But this is just the beginning.
Retsu Unohana understood that even greater challenges lay ahead, and those imprisoned in the Muken were indeed former losers.
However, when Seireitei dealt with them, they did so one by one, or they used a group attack strategy.
Now there are six of them appearing together in the same era.
To be honest, a newly appointed captain like Soi Fon is still too inexperienced.
Retsu Unohana pondered these questions, she arrived at the main hall of the First Division barracks and pushed open the tall door.
There weren't many people inside, just two.
She walked to her designated spot.
Before long, Captain Aizen of the Fifth Division, Captain Gin Ichimaru the Third Division, and Captain Kaname Tōsen of the Ninth Division arrived at the main hall one after another.
They weren't injured at all because they hadn't participated in any fighting.
After a short wait, Rangiku Matsumoto, the vice-captain of the Tenth Division, arrived at the main hall. "Sorry I'm late."
Shunsui Kyōraku said with a big smile, "It's alright, there's just one more guy who hasn't arrived yet. Rangiku- chan, your seat is next to mine~"
"Oh." Rangiku Matsumoto wasn't as relaxed as usual.
According to the rules of the Seireitei, if a division does not have a captain, all the affairs of that division are handled by the vice-captain.
This includes attending Captains' Meeting.
This was the first time she had followed this rule, and she obediently walked to the position of the Tenth Division, her eyes unconsciously glancing at Gin Ichimaru.
She breathed a sigh of relief; he didn't look injured.
Heavy footsteps, like the beating of drums, came from outside the door, which was then pushed open, and a tall figure carrying a knife walked in.
His Shihakushō and Captain's Haori were tattered and torn. When he took big steps, some of the scabbed wounds on his chest would burst open again, and bright red blood would flow out.
Kenpachi Zaraki didn't care at all. He removed the bell and eyepatch, revealing his long, flowing black hair and sharp eyes, making him look even more like a bloodthirsty beast that was always grinding its teeth, completely out of place with his surroundings.
The impact he possesses is indescribable; it always draws the attention of those around him, making his presence impossible to ignore.
Rangiku Matsumoto couldn't help but look over, only to meet Kenpachi Zaraki's sweeping gaze.
Even if the gaze contained no malice.
She quickly averted her gaze, a strange fear rising within her, her heart pounding uncontrollably.
"Oh dear, even you're injured like this. Is the enemy really that strong?"
Gin Ichimaru spoke with a smile.
Kenpachi Zaraki shifted his gaze to him, his face full of frustration. "I have absolutely no idea what's going on. I'm covered in wounds, the Fifth Seat of my crew is seriously injured and unconscious, and even my Zanpakuto has been taken away."
"The situation is urgent."
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto Ryūjin Jakka on the floor, no longer remaining silent, and instead began Captains' Meeting.
Everyone who could make it has arrived.
Those who couldn't come included Ukitake, who was recuperating from an illness, Kuchiki, who was injured, and Kuchiki Kurotsuchi, Mayuri Kurotsuchi had escaped back to the Research and Development Institute alone.
They can only send out a copy of the meeting materials afterward.
"Everyone understands the current situation. Oda Nobunaga sacrificed his life to break the seal of the Muken, allowing six prisoners who should have ceased to exist to return to Soul Society."
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto said with a solemn expression, "Some of you don't know much about prisoners in the Muken, so let me explain."
The six prisoners who Muken the Infernal Prison are: Mad King Munemasa, Eighth Kenpachi Sōya Azashiro, Evil Doctor Genjirō, Demon Fist Kaoru Tendō, Forbidden Technique Creator Oniyasha, and Silver Flash Tsukikage Yagyū.
As soon as he finished speaking, Reishi surged into a human form in front of the captains, with Sōya Azashiro standing among them.
