This system is kind of weird

The First Division is located on the side of a mountain in the central area of ​​Seireitei, hanging on the mountain like a hanging temple.

This is the real center of the Seireitei. The other 12 divisions are basically divided into various parts of the Seireitei in a circle, with the first division as the center.

After entering the team building, there is a long corridor on the left.

This corridor is not the road leading to the First Division's headquarters, but to the headquarters of the Gotei 13 which is connected to the First Division's headquarters. It is also the place where Captain Yamamoto gives orders and holds captain meetings.

Duanmu walked side by side with Ohmaeda, followed behind Broken Bee, walked through the long corridor, and stopped in front of a building with a huge door with a huge "一" carved in the center.

Standing in front of the door, Sui Feng did not knock on the door or shout anything. Instead, he stood quietly for ten seconds and then opened the door directly in front of him.

Buzz~~

The dull air seemed to have found a vent, flowing out along the gaps. Even if everyone in the building restrained their spiritual pressure, the gathering of more than a dozen captains and adjutants still made the air extremely heavy.

Duan Mu's expression was stern, and the ray of relaxation that originally appeared in his heart due to his promotion to captain level disappeared in an instant.

It’s true that he has captain-level spiritual pressure...

But in front of these people, I am just a kid who has just entered the captain level.

There has never been a shortage of talents in the Soul Society, and the captains of many divisions will go through a replacement every few decades to nearly a century. Among these people here, even if they add all 240,000 experience points to their spiritual pressure, they will be replaced.

He may not be as strong as the captain who has been in office for the shortest time in this room, and this is without a swastika.

Duan Mu looked up and saw a group of captains lined up in two rows with their squad numbers, and behind each was the vice-captain standing close to the wall.

"The handsome guy from Division 13 called in sick, and the research maniac from Division 12 locked himself in the research room without being able to notify."

After seeing Zhifeng walking in, a middle-aged man wearing a bamboo hat and a layer of floral clothes over the captain Yu Zhi smiled slightly and said in a funny tone: "All the remaining captains are here, can we start?"

It's a meeting, and I've only drunk half of my wine. If I don't go back soon, it will be in vain."

"Well, well, being able to see a new face with captain-level spiritual pressure makes this meeting very fruitful."

A gentle voice came, and the person who spoke was a bespectacled man standing second in the left column. The man's eyes were gentle, which naturally gave people an inexplicable sense of closeness. It seemed... When talking to Duan Mu and women

They are very similar. The only difference is probably that they have the same attitude regardless of gender.

Momo Hinamori, who was behind the man with glasses, secretly blinked at Duan Mu.

In addition to her, Rangiku Matsumoto, who was standing behind a white-haired elementary school student, also waved to Duan Mu boldly. Fortunately, she also knew that this was not a place where she could yell at will, so she didn't react as usual when she saw him.

Duan Mu shouted to go have a drink.

"That's true."

The middle-aged man in colorful clothes who spoke first nodded: "If the handsome guy is here, he should be very interested in him."

"oops."

Standing first in the left column, the young man with squinted eyes and a fox-like expression smiled and said: "To have such strong spiritual pressure without saying a word, young people today are really scary."

The bespectacled man standing next to him shook his head and said, "It is appropriate for anyone to say this, but it is inappropriate for you and Captain Hitsugaya to say it."

"boring."

The white-haired boy in front of Matsumoto Rangiku said angrily: "Don't withdraw me from your conversation."

Zhifeng walked towards the hall, and Duan Mu subconsciously wanted to follow him, but before he could take a step forward, he was pulled back by Ohmaeda behind him.

"Um?"

"Take off your shoes!!"

Ohmaeda lowered his voice and pointed to the steps of the conference hall with a speechless face. He saw a whole row of straw sandals and a few other shoes on the ground. Duan Mu raised his eyes and looked inside the hall, only to find that... inside the hall

All captains and vice-captains were barefoot, some wore shoes and socks, and some were simply barefoot.

Even Sui Feng, who had just walked in, had left his shoes outside at some point.

"Ah, sorry, I'm used to it."

Seeing this, Duan Mu hurriedly took off his boots: "I'm used to staying in Rukongai. There is no custom of taking off shoes when entering a house. I didn't notice it just now... huh?" Duan Mu said in mid-sentence.

He stopped because he found that everyone in the conference hall was looking at him for some reason.

His eyes clearly revealed a sense of disgust.

Ohmaeda, who was next to Duan Mu, moved a few steps to the side and lowered his voice: "How long has it been since you washed your feet?"

When Duan Mu heard this, he subconsciously glanced at the soles of his feet. They were very white and tender. Although he had not washed his feet during the month in Hueco Mundo due to lack of water, the dust on his body disappeared with a shock of spiritual pressure.

It looks like you have just washed your feet.

"Just put on your shoes and come in."

At this moment, the old man at the head of the conference hall said in a calm tone.

Hearing this, everyone in the hall withdrew their "Don't come in" looks.

baffling.

Duan Mu put on his dark boots again. Although his face showed no expression, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

Isn’t it okay not to wear socks?

Kenpachi Zaraki doesn't wear them either, and his feet don't look as clean as mine.

Duan Mu and Oh Maeda walked into the conference hall together. After entering the conference hall, Oh Maeda pushed Duan Mu from behind and motioned Duan Mu to continue moving forward, while he walked along the wall and passed behind the team captains, stopping at

After killing the wasp.

There are so many rules...

Duan Mu stepped on the smooth floor with his long boots, making a clicking sound, which caused a faint vein to bulge in the forehead of Sui Feng, who was standing at the front. He suddenly regretted not teaching this guy what etiquette was before he came here.

!

"How's it going? Is Hueco Mundo fun?"

Zaraki Kenpachi's rather excited voice came: "I heard from Ikkaku that you seem to have met a very good enemy. You can take me with you next time."

"Enough with the vulgar chit-chat. The captain's meeting is not called for you to come here to chat."

The tall figure wearing a wooden bucket-like mask on his head turned to look at Zaraki Kenpachi: "If you want to chat, you can wait until after the meeting."

"Stop interrupting!"

Zaraki Kenpachi glanced at the other person sideways and said with an unhappy tone: "What I told him has nothing to do with you, or do you want to fight with me?"

This scene did not attract the attention of the other captains, as if they were used to it.

Something is wrong.

Duanmu quickened his pace and walked quickly past Zaraki Kenpachi and the other two who were already preparing to unleash their spiritual pressure, pretending not to hear them at all.

"Hey, you seem to be getting stronger again."

Zaraki Kenyaichi grinned, and the fighting spirit around him became more intense: "Let's have another fight when we go out later, or just have a fight in the old man's martial arts training hall."

As soon as these words came out, the corner of Duan Mu's mouth twitched.

Although many people knew that he was violently beaten by Zaraki, it was not a well-known thing.

However, Duan Mu didn't pay too much attention.

Anyway, he will have to truthfully report Hueco Mundo’s experience in front of the captains, or ‘Aizen’, which will also attract attention.

Because of this, Duan Mu did not hide his spiritual pressure, but directly appeared here with his first captain-level spiritual pressure.

"Shut up!"

Captain Yamamoto, known as the 'Old Man', pushed his cane to the floor hard, and his squinted eyes opened a gap: "Zaraki, go back to the queue, and don't let me say it a second time."

"Cut~~"

Zaraki Kenpachi snorted, but did not continue to mess around.

As Duan Mu walked, he thought about where to stop, and occasionally glanced at the Zhanfeng in the forefront.

Fortunately, Broken Bee did not give up because of his embarrassment. When Duan Mu walked between the first and second rows, he said: "Duan Mu, tell me your experience in Hueco Mundo and the enemies you encountered.

Let’s report it in front of all the captains.”

"yes!"

"Starting with career, let me tell you the reason for going to Hueco Mundo."

Broken Bee added again, but none of the captains had any reaction, but the vice-captains by the wall who didn't know Duan Mu couldn't help but look at Duan Mu with curiosity in their eyes.

Could this strange face with powerful spiritual pressure be from the Second Division?

They had participated in more than one captain meeting, and they had rarely seen Captain Broken Bee talk about things unrelated to the meeting at the meeting, let alone teach others how to report.

"Don't be too nervous. The captain called you here. It's just a routine inquiry."

Maozhihualie, who was standing next to Zaifeng, comforted Duan Mu at the right time: "I see that your injuries have not completely healed yet. After the meeting, go to the comprehensive rescue center for a checkup. Yongyin has been very sick these days.

Worried about you."

Unohana Retsu's words made everyone who had previously guessed that Duan Mu was a member of the Second Division couldn't help but murmur in their hearts again.

"Yes, Captain Unohana."

Duan Mu ignored the looks of the vice-captains and first replied respectfully, then nodded to Yong Yin behind Uozhihua Retsu, then adjusted his stance and started the report in a calm tone.

"Before talking about Hueco Mundo's experience, captains, please allow me to introduce myself. I am Duan Mu who runs Master House in Rukongai District 38. I also have a branch in the commercial street outside Seireitei. My main business is everything.

Then, if you all here need anything, whether it’s house repairs, housekeeping, searching for people, finding things..."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Broken Bee interrupted with a cold tone.

"..."

The corner of Duan Mu's mouth twitched slightly, and he gave up advertising his shop, and instead said: "Uh... due to the nature of the work, in addition to undertaking the commissions from the residents of Rukongai and Seireitei, my Wanshiya also cooperates with Jin

There is cooperation between seal societies, and they will entrust some troublesome noble matters to me in the form of entrustment. This is exactly why I went to Hueco Mundo."

Going straight to the topic, Duan Mu first explained the content of the Golden Seal Society's commission, and then recounted what he had said to Urahara Kisuke from beginning to end.

"A Hollow holding a Zanpakutō?"

"Arrancar?"

Duan Mu's words caused some fluctuations in the faces of the captain and vice-captain present.

"If it's true as you said, the Arrancar with the Crescent Scythe defeated you instantly." The white-haired boy known as Hitsugaya frowned and said, "How did you escape?"

Duan Mu heard this, his expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "I think all the captains should also know that I have something to do with stealth maneuvers, and I have some unique skills in concealing spiritual pressure. It is with my concealment skills that I use

The other party was so contemptuous that he fled into the Great Void Forest."

"I can prove this." Sui Feng said.

Duan Mu glanced at Suihou gratefully. He did not say anything about the fact that he had freed the Zanpakutō in the battle. Anyway, if no one asked, he was not prepared to reveal his trump cards at all. Even if someone asked about the Zanpakutō.

Regarding abilities, Duan Mu will try to be as vague as possible.

Fortunately, everyone present was focused on Arrancar, and no one asked Duan Mu in detail how to escape.

Hitsugaya nodded and continued to ask: "Can you describe the opponent's spiritual pressure strength and specific abilities?"

"The Arrancar who came later was holding a 'scythe'. I can't figure out his specific strength, but his spiritual pressure is probably much stronger than Captain Zaraki who fought with me."

"oh?"

Zaraki Kenpachi was not angry when he heard this, but suddenly became interested: "That's really exciting."

"As for the first place..."

Duan Mu was silent for a moment, carefully organized his words, and then said in a deep voice: "He once called himself 'Shiba Haiyan' in front of the Fujiwara brothers and sisters."

"What!?"

As soon as this statement came out, the middle-aged man in colorful clothes, who had never had any special reaction, said in a cold tone: "What do you think he calls himself?"

"Captain of the Beijing Band and other captains please listen to what I have to say first."

After Duan Mu paused for a moment, he continued: "The Arrancar who calls himself 'Shiha Haiyan' has the ability to devour other Hollows. According to what he said, he has swallowed nearly 30,000 Hollows; and why did Lord Haiyan die?

I have learned about it from Sister Konghe, and according to my guess, he should have swallowed the spirit child that merged with Lord Haiyan and returned to Hueco Mundo, so he has the form and ability of Lord Haiyan."

"His strength is not very strong, but his abilities are extremely terrifying. After liberating the Zanpakuto, he once claimed in front of me that he could use the abilities of more than 30,000 hollows at the same time, and his spiritual pressure was complex and powerful." Duan Mu detailed it in great detail.

He briefly recounted the battle process, and then glanced at the faces of each captain as if he wanted to see their reactions.

The big guy wearing glasses didn't seem to have much reaction.

The other captains had different reactions, some frowned, some were indifferent, and some looked thoughtful.

"Do you have the spiritual pressure of a Shinigami?"

Broken Bee didn't know what he thought of, and his tone became extremely cold.

"No wonder the captain called a meeting because of this. It is indeed important information that deserves vigilance." The man with glasses, Captain Aizen Sosuke of the fifth division, nodded and said in a deep voice: "Although it's just me.

It’s a personal opinion, but I think the description of the Arrancar given by boss Duan Mu is somewhat similar to...the incident a hundred years ago."

boss……

He didn't know why, but being called boss by this person actually made him feel a sudden shock in his heart. After all, a certain boss with whom he had a cooperative relationship was sent to this world by this person.

Aizen's words made several captains present who were more than a century old frown, while those who became captains within a hundred years showed doubts.

There is no record of events from a hundred years ago.

Except that the relevant personnel conducted an investigation and were later ordered to prohibit the investigation by Mao No. 46, the specific details and even the many captains who experienced this incident knew very little.

Duan Mu's face also showed a look of doubt at the right time.

"That's the end of this topic."

Captain Yamamoto glanced at Aizen, and then said to the adjutant beside him: "After the meeting, send the meeting minutes to the 12th Division, and order the Technology Development Bureau to pay attention to Hueco Mundo's trends at all times." After that, he turned his head again.

Looking at the captains: "All teams must also be vigilant."

"Don't underestimate Duan Mu just because his spiritual pressure is not strong. His actual lethality is much stronger than you think. Moreover, the Technology Development Bureau analyzed the spirit data fed back from Duan Mu's command machine. For that

Duan Mu’s description of the two Arrancars was too conservative.”

"Especially the second Arrancar. If what Duan Mu said is true, then his spiritual pressure has already surpassed most of the captains in the field without releasing the sword."

Captain Yamamoto's words made the captains present have a look on their faces.

If these words came from Duan Mu's mouth, they wouldn't care too much. Firstly, Duanmu's spiritual pressure is too weak compared to the captains present, and secondly, he doesn't understand the strength of the captains.

Moreover, it is surprising that someone possesses captain-level spiritual pressure, but it is only a surprise. In fact, it is just that.

After all, captain-level reiatsu and captain of the Gotei 13 are two different concepts.

But when these words came from Captain Yamamoto, it was different. All captains would be assessed by Captain Yamamoto before taking over as captains, and they would pay much attention to their future progress.

Since he said this, it means that after reading the data analyzed by the Technology Development Bureau, Captain Yamamoto has confirmed that many captains present have inferior spiritual pressure to their opponents.

Although simple horizontal comparison of data analysis does not explain much.

But they can increase their spiritual pressure after their swastika, and the sword liberation of those Arrancars can also do the same.

but……

Some captains also noticed Captain Yamamoto's evaluation of Duan Mu, and they couldn't help but look at Duan Mu strangely.

Duan Mu's face didn't show any strange color, but his heart couldn't help but tremble.

Captain Yamamoto's words are definitely not without foundation. He has most likely observed the battles he has experienced in Soul Society.

Captain Yamamoto looked at everyone's reaction, nodded, and then said to Duan Mu: "The information you brought back this time is extremely important to us. As a reward, I will ask the 46th Room of Zhenyang for you to allow you to keep it."

Those with 'special passes' can freely move around in any area of ​​the Seireitei except the noble areas and important places."

Hearing this, Duan Mu's eyes lit up and he said respectfully: "Thank you, Captain Yamamoto."

"The meeting ends here."

Captain Yamamoto glanced at the long sword behind Duan Mu, then withdrew his gaze and said: "After the other captains go back, make preparations individually. Once you know the existence of the Arrancar, you must deal with it. Don't wait until you encounter it and rush there.

Think of countermeasures."

"yes!"

…
