Chapter 107 The knife that should be banned!
Although the Central Forty-Sixth Chamber has issued an order to officially promote the Tapir Sword among the Gotei 13, intending to use this sword to improve the overall strength of the Shinigami, it was discovered that the Tapir Sword had huge problems.
Captain Yamamoto has been delaying time. Also, because the manufacture of the Tapir Sword takes time, large-scale assembly of the Tapir Sword has not yet begun.
It was also during this period.
The ninth seat of the First Squad, Kisaragi Qin Xu, volunteered to sneak into the manufacturing workshop of the Kasumi Road family to investigate the truth.
The truth is extremely horrifying.
On this day, Captain Yamamoto received a message from Ruzuki Qinxu, saying that there was important evidence that needed to be handed over to the captain in person, but because he was unable to move around, he hoped that the captain would go to his home.
Captain Yamamoto would naturally not refuse this small request from his subordinates.
So he went to Ruyue Qinxu's home.
However, he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived at the other party's house, he was attacked by Ruyue Qinxu.
"Ruyue, what's wrong with you?"
Captain Yamamoto asked in a deep voice.
Ruyue Qinxu said nothing.
He just launched an attack on Captain Yamamoto. When he attacked Captain Yamamoto, Captain Yamamoto discovered that the weapon used by the other party was not a Zanpakuto, but a sword with something like tentacles extending from the handle and connected to the arm.
There is an extremely ferocious eye on the blade. It looks more like a strange creature than a blade.
"Ta Yao Knife!"
“Is it something like this?”
Captain Yamamoto's face immediately darkened. He sent Ruyue Qinxu to investigate the Kasumigaoji family in order to find evidence of the ban on the Tapir Sword, but he did not expect that Ruyue Qinxu was also equipped with the Tapir Sword.
Moreover, he had lost his mind and attacked himself as if he had turned into a puppet.
Facing Ruyue Qinxu's attack, Captain Yamamoto tried his best to avoid him. After all, he was his subordinate and he had taught him a lot. He could even be considered half a disciple. He really didn't want to attack him.
However, it is precisely because of such actions.
Ruyue Qinxu was unable to defeat Captain Yamamoto and he became more and more angry. More spiritual power was drawn by the Mo Yao Knife in his hand and he burst out with more and more powerful attacks.
During the battle with Ruyue Qinxu, Captain Yamamoto discovered that his subordinates seemed to be controlled by something and had lost their minds. He kept trying to wake them up, but failed.
Not only did he fail to wake up his subordinates, but because the Mo Yao Sword excessively drained Ruyue Qinxu's power, Ruyue Qinxu's spirit began to collapse. Captain Yamamoto certainly knew why.
From Ye Yi, he already knew that the Mo Yao Sword was made with the power of the void. At this moment, Ru Yue Qin Xu's condition was like a soul swallowed by the void. If he continued, he would be completely swallowed by the sword.
More importantly, as the Mo Yao Knife continued to extract his spiritual power, the tentacles on the knife continued to spread, and had completely covered most of Ruyue Qin Xu's body. Now, the knife was almost fused with Ruyue Qin Xu.
It is almost impossible to peel off this knife.
"Ruyue, I'm sorry!"
A hint of sadness flashed across Captain Yamamoto's eyes.
Then, he resolutely swung his sword and killed Ruyue Qinxu before Ruyue Qinxu was further devoured by the Mo Yao Sword.
All movement and noise disappeared.
With the death of Ruyue Qinxu, the Mo Yao Sword also lost its power supply and was forced to return to its original form. It looked like a harmless sword, but Captain Yamamoto knew that this kind of sword was extremely dangerous.
Thinking about what happened before, he felt extremely regretful.
Because of his momentary negligence, Central Office 46 has issued a formal order.
In order to make up for his previous mistakes, he let his subordinates die tragically.
However, even so, he became more determined to ban the appearance of weapons like the Tapir Knife.
Captain Yamamoto searched Ruyue Qinxu's home again, and finally found some things that Ruyue Qinxu had hidden.
At the Xiadalu family, Ruyue and Qinxu did not gain nothing.
He had found some evidence, but as if in order to find more and more complete evidence, he continued to investigate Kasumigaoji's house, but this brought him misfortune. When Captain Yamamoto was investigating Kasumigaoji's house, he did not discover that there was a child who was carefully hiding in the dark, not daring to make any sound, and his eyes were filled with hatred.
……
Captain-in-Chief Yamamoto once again filed a complaint with the Central Office 46.
He held the evidence collected by Ruyue Qinxu.
Based on what Ye Yi said about the many disadvantages of the Tapir Knife, he requested the Central Forty-Sixth Room to ban the Tapir Knife.
In response to Captain-General Yamamoto's appeal, there was a lot of discussion within the Central 46th Office.
Of course, there was a reason why they issued the order to promote the weapon of the Tapir Sword among the Gotei 13 so quickly, and it was not because the Kasumigaoji family had a seat in the Central Forty-Six Chambers.
But for the benefit of the nobility.
I don’t know if it’s because the living conditions are too good and life is too comfortable.
The strong men born among the nobles are now far inferior to those born among the commoners. The number of commoners is too large, and such a large number makes it more likely that they will have strong men.
Although there are many captains of noble birth in the Gotei 13, apart from these captains, the rest of the captains and the chief officers of each division, these elite Shinigami, are all of commoner origin.
In order to control the strong among these civilians.
These nobles established the Central Forty-Six Chambers and formulated many rules.
However, it is actually quite difficult to rely on these things to restrain the powerful civilians.
Especially in recent years, the aristocratic group has become increasingly weak.
If the common people saw their weakness, they would inevitably have some other thoughts. This is something that cannot be accepted. Many nobles absolutely cannot bear the fate of falling from the clouds to the quagmire.
So, under the leadership of a certain noble, they began to save themselves.
In addition to continuing to win over the strong ones among the Gotei 13 and making them willingly serve the Gotei 13 and work for their Central Forty-six Chambers, the lower-level Shinigami, who are more numerous, are actually a force that can be won over.
The individual strength of these Grim Reapers is average.
The vast majority of them only resonate with the Asauchi, and are not able to fully develop their Zanpakutō. When facing a Hollow, the probability of them dying in battle is extremely high.
But this does not mean that we can ignore them.
It can be said that they are the foundation of the Gotei 13. Without these ordinary members, the Gotei 13 would only have a handful of people and would not be an organization at all.
The Tapir Sword is a type of sword made by the Xiadalu family.
However, extending it to the entire Gotei 13 was a unanimous decision made by the Central Forty-Six Rooms after discussion. As long as those ordinary Shinigami could be equipped with the Tapir Sword, in addition to improving their combat effectiveness, more importantly, it would allow these ordinary Shinigami to develop a sense of dependence on them, the nobles.
Let these ordinary death gods understand that their power comes from the gift of the nobles.
If it weren't for the Tapir Sword developed by the nobles, they would have died instantly when facing Xu.
The existence of the Mo Yao Knife gave them more hope of survival.
Therefore, it was the nobles who gave them a second life.
They need to work hard for the nobles and the Central 46th Room.
Of course, if it were just the Central Forty-Six Chambers, it would be impossible for them to be so united. As I said before, this is under the leadership of a certain great noble.
This is also the reason why the Xiadalu family, knowing that the Mo Yao Knife has some minor flaws, can't wait to promote it.
In the eyes of the Kasumigaoji family, as long as they are given enough time, they can completely make up for this defect and develop a more powerful and perfect sword.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, who had just reported to them that there was no problem with the Tapir Sword and that it was a very useful weapon, began to sing a different tune from them again.
"Yamamoto, do you know what you are talking about?"
Central Room 46, in the underground meeting room.
Captain Yamamoto stood in the center, surrounded by platforms. Powerful men hid in the darkness, questioning Captain Yamamoto in harsh voices.
Because of the dim light, it was difficult to see clearly who was speaking and which nobleman he was.
"I know exactly what I'm talking about."
Captain Yamamoto spoke in a deep voice.
"Originally, I thought the Tapir Blade was harmless, but later, a lot of things happened. One of my subordinates speculated that there was something wrong with this knife, so he sneaked into the manufacturing workshop of the Kasumi family. He collected a lot of evidence, but he also suffered a backlash because of the Tapir Blade and almost turned into a monster. In the end, I killed him."
"I also saw the disadvantages of the Tapir Knife!"
"This sword may be able to give the god of death power, but compared to the negative effects it brings, it is not suitable for promotion to the entire Gotei 13 for the time being."
Captain Yamamoto talked a lot.
In front of the public, he appears to be pedantic and stubborn, but in fact, he is not stupid.
He had previously suggested to the Central Office 46 that an investigation be conducted on the Kasumigaoji family, but was rejected by the Central Office 46 on the grounds of "extraterritoriality". So now, he changed his statement, saying that it was his subordinates who secretly investigated, that the matter had nothing to do with him, and that the offender was already dead.
But here is the evidence.
It is impossible for the Central 46th Office to ignore the evidence and continue to promote the Tapir Knife.
After Captain Yamamoto finished speaking, the Central 46th Room immediately began to discuss in low voices.
Then, Captain Yamamoto talked about another matter.
As for the analysis of the Tapir Sword, it was the Shifengyuan family who told him the result.
"Shifengyuan!"
As one of the five great nobles, his importance cannot be ignored.
Even if the driving force behind the scenes is another great noble, these guys in the Central Room 46 definitely do not want to become victims of the struggle among the great nobles.
The Gotei 13 are under their charge. When it comes to matters concerning the Gotei 13, they have reason to temporarily ban dangerous swords like the Tapir Sword for the sake of the Gotei 13's stability.
