Shiraishi and his allies launched a counterattack against Aizen and the Arrancar invasion, killing Aizen and ending the fighting with the Quincy. The story left Shiraishi back in Zuellni after a brief disappearance with Kūkaku, as Sora Inoue organized the rebuilding and the new calendar.
Shiraishi became Captain-Commander and reshaped Soul Society while attending to the Human Alliance, the Wandenreich, and Hueco Mundo. As corruption and paperwork challenged his reforms, he pursued a relationship with Retsu and searched for a place where Gin could live and work.
Shiraishi helped Nelliel defeat Grimmjow’s rebellion and stopped Sōya Azashiro’s attack, then returned to Soul Society to face corruption and prepare for the Quincy threat. His family grew with Retsu’s birth of Hakuhō, while Ichigo joined the First Division and Shiraishi expanded surveillance toward Silbern.
Renji confessed to Rukia, then lost his duel with Byakuya and vowed to grow stronger. When Yhwach launched the invasion, Uryū secretly worked against him, Shiraishi defeated Gerard, and Haschwalth tested Soul Society’s defenses before withdrawing.
Shiraishi and his allies defeated Yhwach, ended the war, and arranged the surrender and fate of the Quincy prisoners. Three years later, Renji and Rukia announced their marriage, while Soul Society’s preparations revealed that Shiraishi’s own wedding was also being planned.
Shiraishi faced Aizen’s escape from Hell, then traveled with Retsu Unohana to the pirate world to pursue him. After parting with Unohana, he accompanied the Straw Hat Pirates through several islands as they helped Vivi, recruited Chopper, and headed for Alabasta.
The Straw Hat Pirates helped bring Crocodile’s plot to light and escaped Alabasta before setting out for Sky Island. In Skypiea, Enel began a three-hour contest while Robin uncovered Shandora’s history and fought to protect its ruins.
The Straw Hat Pirates survived Enel’s destruction of the Sky Islands, then reached Water 7, where the Going Merry’s fate and Robin’s capture led them into a battle at Enies Lobby. They rescued Robin, escaped the Buster Call, and reunited with old friends in Water 7, where Luffy learned his father was Monkey D. Dragon.
The Straw Hat Pirates reunited with Franky and Usopp, survived Thriller Bark, and continued toward Fish-Man Island after Kuma nearly destroyed them. The narrative then shifted to Lumian Lee in a tavern, where he told stories and visitors learned how Aurore had brought him to Cordu and given him his name.
