âTeam 11 to 16, head to West 56th District! The rest follow me!â
âThe three groups and Matsuda nine seats go to the North District!â
âDonât worry about the bodies for now! Take the injured people first!â
âEmergency delivery! Please send out your orders!â
âQuick, send them to room two and three!â
âŠ
âFinally, they started to move the woundedâŠâ
Standing at the door of the operation room and looking at the soldiers busy moving the wounded, Isane Kotetsuâs eyes showed a trace of sadness. As a member of the Gotei 13, she could only hide in the courtyard of the 4th Division in the previous battle. It was definitely a painful thing to feel Reiryoku disappear one by one.
âAs a result, there was no one injured in the battleâŠâ
Lowering his head, Isaneâs eyes floated to Unohana Retsu standing by the window and looking at the outside.
âCaptain Unohana, can we stay in 4th Division like this? If we go to the Seireitei to help, we can treat more wounded peopleâŠâ
âIsane!â
Captain Unohana suddenly spoke, her voice was as gentle as always, but in the ears of Isane, there was an unspeakable bitterness.
âDonât be emotional and say such silly words! Driven by uneasiness, it is easy to send all the people of the comprehensive rescue team out, but you should understand that you canât do this even without me explaining. Usually, you will never be so inconsiderate!â
âYes. I am very sorry!â
Looking at the back of Captain Unohana, who was not wide but extremely firm, Isane bit her lips and a few tears fell involuntarily.
I am really stupid! Captain Unohana, mustâve felt more than me! More want to save everyone!
âDonât cry, Isane. No matter what happens, 4th Division is not allowed to move out! Because this is the last order that Captain-Commander gave us!â
âHow is it going?â
âMr. Kimura is just too weak. He just needs to rest for a while. As for Miss Kusuâs injury, it is quite serious. However, there is no time for Reiryoku to treat her, so she has to undergo an emergency operation to sew up her vital parts. Now she is out of danger, and her body condition has stabilized.â
âThatâs goodâŠâ
Hearing the doctorâs answer, Hirako breathed a sigh of relief.
âIn the end, she was defeated without even touching the clothes of the enemy boss. Itâs really shameful. However, what a terrible opponentâŠâ
Thinking of the Quincy who defeated them in an instant, Hirako Shinjiâs eyes flashed a trace of haze.
âThat guyâŠâ
Ichigo, who came from nowhere, heard Hirako Shinji words and said, âMe too, that blond bastard, I didnât see what happened clearly, and cut my Getsuga Tensho into two pieces.â
âOh, itâs Ichigo. Speaking of which, you also fought with that guy, right? After we were defeated.â
âYes, we were beaten very badly.â
âBy the way, how is Rukia and the others?â
âLike Miss Kusu, they first had an emergency surgery to sew up the vital parts. They are temporarily out of danger.â
âIs that so? Thatâs goodâŠâ
âLord Kurosaki Ichigo!â
A member of the 12th Division ran over, panting.
âCaptain Mayuri called you because of the ZanpakutĆ.â
Looking at Ichigo who rushed to 12th Division below, Hirako Shinji shook his head slightly.
However..
Thinking back to what the leader of Quincy vaguely heard at the last time said to Ichigo, Hirako Shinjiâs heart flashed a trace of uneasiness.
1st Division
âI couldnât find the body of Captain-Commander.â
ââŠâ
Several Captains stood in a circle, in the middle was a broken Zanpakuto, which was left with only the handle, which was the only thing left by Captain-Commander.
âReport to the Captains!â
â6th Division Captain Kuchiki Byakuya and 11th Division Captain Zaraki Kenpachi, both survived, but the injury is serious, I am afraid it is difficult to recover. And 10th Division Captain TĆshirĆ Hitsugaya and Vice Captain Matsumoto Rangiku are still under the observation of Captain Kurotsuchi.â
âDismiss!â
âAh?â
âI donât want to listen to this kind of report right now, donât you understand Captain-Commander has passed away, what kind of bad news do you want me to accept?!â
âEnough! Itâs too shameful to throw a tantrum at the messenger!â
âTantrum?â
Turning to look at Kensei, Soi Fon said, âBecause you hate Captain-Commander, you are so calm!â
âWhat did you sayâŠâ
âSoi Fon, you shut up!!â
Komamuraâs roar suddenly sounded, and his face was full of sadness and grief.
âDo you think you are the only one who wants to scream?!â
Pa â
The sudden clap woke everyone up from the grief. Looking at the people in front of him, Kyouraku Shunsui tried to speak as usual in the tone: âAlright, alright! Donât quarrel! According to the current development, everyone has to stand proud in the resting place of our Captain-Commander! Crying and angry in front of him is disrespectful. Itâs really not presentable!â
âGotei 13⊠Not to chase after the dead, nor to shed sad tears of the deceased. Soul Society exists to protect and to guide! â
Looking up at his companions who had cheered up a little in front of him, Kyouraku Shunsui said seriously, âWe must move forward! We are Gotei 13!â
âCanât do it?â
âWhy? Donât you always break your own Zanpakuto and take him backâ
âIdiot, Iâm not, but.â
Faced with Kurosaki Ichigoâs doubts, Kurotsuchi Mayuri looked at him with contempt. It was difficult to explain this kind of stupid guy.
There is only one way to fix Zanpakuto, that is to use the spirit of the owner Reiryoku, and the time needed to pour it into Zanpakuto, that is all!
âI understand. In other words, I can only take it back and slowly repair it? If soâŠâ
Hearing Kurotsuchi Mayuriâs word, Ichigo picked up his Zanpakuto.
âBe good and listen to me!â
âWhat I just said is only limited to the state when Zanpakuto was destroyed, and it is whole another concepts.â
âWhat!â
âOf course, there are also exceptions, such as Komamura. The owner has an extremely strong connection with Zanpakuto, so there is a huge flaw in his Bankai, if his Bankai is injured, so does himself. But in contrast, once the ownerâs injury is healed, Zanpakuto can also recover. I have obtained the final information of all the team members here, so far, the exception is only this one. The Bankai of Ikkaku Madarame, which was destroyed during the battle with Edrad Leones, was reluctantly restored by Akon, but his abilities were never restored. â
âConnection with bankai?â
âThen, how do you explain Renjiâs Bankai? I remember that his Bankai was once destroyed in the battle with Byakuya.â
âHave you ever counted his Bankaiâs blade section?â
âThe blade section of the Zabimaru that was destroyed by Kuchiki Byakuya has been damaged since then!â
âThen⊠what should we do?â
Holding the broken part in his hand, Ichigoâs face showed confusion. The words of the Captain Kurotsuchi Mayuri had been very clear. His, could not be repaired!
After losing strength for 17 months, he finally recovered his strength again, but found that he still could not protect his companions. Even his Zanpakuto suffered irreversible damage. This resultâŠ
Beep beep â â
âItâs me. â Is it, as expected, I know, Iâll go right away.â
After hanging up the communication, Kurotsuchi Mayuri called Kurosaki Ichigo and walked out with an inexplicable expression on his face.
âCome with me, Kurosaki Ichigo. Itâs better for you to meet them, though I donât want to see them at all. â The big people of Zero Division have arrived!â
