Chapter 45: Frequent changes of Kenpachi, captain's meeting!

Seireitei is quite large and not as small as it looks. Due to its huge area, even if some battles occur there, in some cases no one will notice them. But all of this is based on a prerequisite, that is, it is not near the battle area.

First, the high-intensity spiritual wave reaction of the 11th Division was monitored by the nearby 12th Division "Seireitei Research Institute". Then, what happened in the 11th Division was learned by the 1st Division, and the 1st Division informed the entire Gotei 13 of the matter.

The high-intensity spiritual wave reaction previously monitored by the 12th Division also provided an answer.

The truth is, within the 11th Division, the challenge to Kenpachi happened again.

Under the witness of two hundred soldiers, with the captain of the 4th Division, Unohana Retsu as a witness, the vice-captain of the 11th Division, Natsuki, challenged the tenth generation Kenpachi, Kenpachi Kiganjo, and finally killed Kenpachi Kiganjo with great force.

According to Kenpachi's succession ceremony.

After killing Kenpachi Kiganjo, Natsuki became the new Kenpachi.

When this incident spread throughout the Gotei 13, it immediately caused a huge sensation.

The sensation was not just because of Kenpachi Kiyomizu's defeat.

It is also because, in recent years, Kenpachi has been replaced too frequently.

It seems that since the seventh generation Kenpachi Kuryashiki Kenpachi, a new Kenpachi has been replaced basically every once in a while.

Although the captains of other squads also changed, and there was even a saying circulating in the Soul Society that "there are very few Shinigami who have served as captain for more than a hundred years", a captain would at least serve for a few decades. As a result, the 11th Squadron was like Kenpachi, with frequent changes.

There is no need to say much about the seventh generation Kenpachi, Kenpachi Kuriyashiki. He is a truly strong man. After defeating the sixth generation Kenpachi, he served as Kenpachi for more than a hundred years. During his reign, he performed many feats. The most talked-about one is that he easily defeated the hollow of the level of Vastrode.

He was defeated by Kenpachi Zaraki.

Starting with Kenpachi Zaraki, the position of Kenpachi seemed to be cursed, and no subsequent Kenpachi could stay there for long.

Kenpachi Zaraki had only been Kenpachi for a year when he committed a serious crime and was imprisoned in the Hell.

After Kenpachi Zaraki was imprisoned, the position of captain of the 11th Division remained vacant for a while.

Finally, after research and decision by the Central 46th Office, Gosuke, the vice-captain of the 11th Division, took over. Thus, Gosuke became the ninth Kenpachi.

After Gosuke became Kenpachi, the war between the Shinigami and the Quincies broke out. After the war that lasted for several years ended, Gosuke and Kenpachi were challenged by the villain Kiganjo from Rukongai and died.

Kiganjo, the Rukongai villain who was not previously registered by the Gotei 13, suddenly became the tenth Kenpachi.

During the several months that he became Kenpachi.

The entire 11th Division was filled with chaos.

The Shinigami from other squads knew about it as well, but they had no intention of paying attention, nor could they do anything about it. After all, there were rules for Kenpachi's succession, and Kiyomizu Gouji had obtained Kenpachi's position through his own strength.

Unless someone stronger emerges to defeat Kiyomizu and take the title of Kenpachi.

But there are not many such strong people in the entire Soul Society.

Even if it does appear, it will probably take many years.

But I didn't expect that it would only take a few months.

The tenth generation Kenpachi, Kiyomizu Kiyomi, has become a thing of the past.

When the 11th Division was in a very bad situation because of Oni Yancheng's brutal behavior, the deputy captain of the 11th Division, Xia Mu, stepped forward and killed Oni Yancheng.

“What a surprising thing!”

In the 8th Division, Captain Shunsui Kyoraku was drinking in the captain's room, watching the vice-captain handling team affairs, looking very relaxed. At this time, his vice-captain was not Lisa Yadomaru in the original work, but a middle-aged man wearing glasses. The other party was taciturn and handled the team affairs in an orderly manner.

Although she is not a woman, Kyoraku Shunsui seems to like choosing someone who wears glasses when choosing a vice-captain.

Kyoraku Shunsui was very sad about what happened in the 11th Division.

Kenpachi Kuriyashiki was once his best friend. For this reason, he had a very good relationship with the 11th Division and witnessed two Kenpachi handover ceremonies. He was present when Gosuke was defeated in Kigan Castle and lamented that there were so many heroes in Rukongai.

In comparison, Kyoraku Shunsui didn't care as much as he had imagined about what kind of person Kiyomasa was.

After all, he has lived for so many years and was born into a noble family. Compared with the darkness among the nobles, Gui Yancheng is nothing.

He never thought that within just a few months, the hero of Rukongai whom he once praised was hacked to death.

The one who hacked Gui Yancheng to death was Xia Mu, the vice-captain of the 11th Division who was usually not very sociable.

"It seems that I was wrong. I can only say that the senior is a senior. He saw the potential of the other party very early on."

The specific job of the Eighth Division is to collect intelligence, and they are an intelligence team.

Although Kyōraku Shunsui has a lazy personality, he is a person who likes to watch the fun. All the secrets and gossips in the Soul Society cannot escape his ears. Of course, Kyōraku Shunsui knows about what Unohana Retsu once taught Natsuki.

Of course, he also knew Xia Mu's resume.

He was born in a poor family, but in just a few years, he became the third seat of the 11th Division, and then became the vice-captain. This is a well-deserved genius.

It is understandable that Unohana Rei values ​​talent.

However, no one expected that within just a few years, this genius had grown up completely.

Now, he has to bear the name Kenpachi and serve as the captain of the Gotei 13.

Kyoraku Shunsui even thought of another thing.

Natsuki was once the vice-captain of Kenpachi Gosuke. Kenpachi Gosuke was killed by Kiyomizu Kiyomizu. Now, Natsuki has killed Kiyomizu Kiyomizu, which proves that Natsuki's strength was stronger than Gosuke's at the beginning. However, even so, Natsuki never thought of challenging Kenpachi Gosuke to become Kenpachi.

Now, Xia Mu chose to kill Gui Yancheng.

I can only say that some people are really not very likable.

After learning about what happened in the 11th Squadron, the other squads also sighed.

Although Kenpachi's changes were a bit frequent, things had already happened and they could only accept it.

“Bang bang bang bang!”

The crisp knocking sounds suddenly echoed around the captain's rooms of each team of the Gotei 13, and black hell butterflies were flying among the teams. As the hell butterflies danced, the voice of Captain-General Yamamoto, accompanied by the special binding technique of Tentei Kura, reached the ears of many team captains.

"Captains and vice-captains of all squads, please go to the squad leader's office immediately to hold a captain's meeting."

"As above!"

The information delivered this time was extremely concise, and it emphasized the need to bring the deputy captain along to the captain's meeting, which meant that the matters discussed at this captain's meeting were not too secretive.

In the captain's meeting of the Gotei 13, there are generally two situations.

One type requires participation from both the captain and vice-captain, while the other type is limited to the captain only.

The former involves matters concerning the entire Gotei 13, so both the captain and the vice-captain need to participate and listen. The latter is an extremely important matter, and even the vice-captain is not qualified to know about it. Only the captain is qualified to participate in it.

In the captain's room, Kyoraku Shunsui looked at the vice-captain beside him and said softly, "Let's go to the first team leader's room to meet the new Kenpachi."

Although the captain-general did not mention anything in his message, Kyoraku Shunsui still guessed it based on the recent major events.

There is no doubt that today is the inauguration ceremony of the new Kenpachi.

Certain conditions need to be met for the Kenpachi succession ceremony.

When all conditions are met and he defeats the current Kenpachi, he can become the new Kenpachi.

However, this does not mean that he can take office immediately after killing the current Kenpachi.

Afterwards, the captain who witnessed the incident needs to report the matter to the First Division, and then the captain-in-chief will report the matter to the Central 46th Office. Only after obtaining the official appointment from the Central 46th Office can the winner be officially given the title of Kenpachi. The successor to Kenpachi also needs to go through the captain's room of the First Division and meet the other captains and vice-captains. This is similar to the inauguration ceremony of the other squad captains.

Except for Kyoraku Shunsui, the captains and vice-captains of the rest of the squads also rushed towards the first squad after receiving the order from the captain-in-chief.

The First Squadron is located in the central area of ​​Seireitei. It is located on a high mountain and is the highest place in the entire Gotei 13. There is a courtyard outside the captain's room of the First Squadron. If you stand there a little higher, you can overlook most of Seireitei.

It is also the squad with the highest barracks among the Gotei 13.

The reason why it is so special is not only because it is the first division and the general division, but also because below it is the underground prison of Soul Society, of which the lowest level "Mujian" is particularly notorious, holding the most vicious criminals in history.

One by one, the captains and vice-captains came to the first team. The door of the first team had been opened. Many captains and vice-captains passed through the echo and first came to a wall. On the wall, there were many signs. Either the captain or the vice-captain came forward and turned the sign over to reveal the text on the back. This meant that the team they belonged to had arrived. This was a check-in ceremony.

After completing the clocking-in process, the captains and vice-captains of each team entered from the big door next to the wall, passed through many corridors, and finally successfully arrived at a very spacious hall, which was the team leader's room.

This is also where the captains of the Gotei 13 usually hold meetings.

The team leader's room was extremely empty and there were no seats, so all the captains and deputy captains chose to stand.

Then, the captain also arrived.

Captain Yamamoto was wearing a white haori and looked extremely old. He held a cane in his hand.

Boom!
He tapped his cane lightly on the wooden floor, and immediately all the captains fell silent.

"Since you are all here, I will not elaborate too much. I believe you have guessed the specifics. A few days ago, the tenth Kenpachi, Kiyomasa Kenpachi, was defeated in a head-on confrontation. According to the Kenpachi succession ceremony, the one who defeats him will become the new Kenpachi, the eleventh Kenpachi!"

"Captain Xia Mu, please come out and meet everyone."

As Captain-General Yamamoto spoke, a figure wearing a white captain's haori walked in from the door. Looking at the many captains and vice-captains, Xia Mu had come into contact with these people when he was the vice-captain before, so he was not unfamiliar with them.

But at this moment, he still said to everyone, "Everyone, please give me more guidance in the future!"
