Quiet Spirit Court.
Recently, the Guardian Court Thirteen Squads have been plagued by an unending stream of bad news from the Mortal World.
The Soul Reapers stationed throughout the Mortal World have all been expelled by the Arrancar Legion, and even some out-of-rank Soul Reapers have fallen victim to those Arrancar Hollows, as if the Mortal World has become a paradise for the Arrancar Legion's rampant activities.
In this situation, the Guardian Court Thirteen Squads have sped up their gathering process, summoning many Soul Reapers from various parts of the Soul Society back to the Quiet Spirit Court, preparing to form a grand army capable of standing against the Arrancar Legion.
General Headquarters of the Guardian Court Thirteen Squads.
Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni leaned on his cane, sitting in the general meeting room with his eyes closed, resting while a group of Captains and Vice Captains from the Guardian Court Thirteen Squads reported on the condition of their respective squads in front of him.
Except for Captain Shiba Isshin, who has gone alone to the Mortal World to support and save his subordinates, all the high-ranking officers of the Guardian Court Thirteen Squads are present here.
When Yamamoto Shigekuni finished listening to all the Captains' reports, his gaze fell on Matsumoto Rangiku, the Vice Captain of the 10th Squad, and in his aged voice, a touch of kindness emerged: "Rangiku... Is there any news from Isshin?"
"..."
Matsumoto Rangiku furrowed her brows, nodding slowly as she replied, "The message from the Captain yesterday was from the stationed base in Kyoto of the Mortal World…"
Late last night, news came from the Mortal World.
Shiba Isshin repelled two Arrancar Hollows attempting to attack the stationed base in Kyoto, saving a dozen Soul Reapers, but this has also alerted the Arrancar Legion.
Under the siege of more than a dozen Arrancar Hollows, Shiba Isshin led the Soul Reapers stationed in the Mortal World to retreat from the base, forced to hide in the Mortal World while continuing to seek opportunities to counterattack.
"As long as he is safe, that's good."
Yamamoto Shigekuni slowly closed his eyes and spoke in a deep voice: "Then prepare, let the fully reorganized 10th Squad and 11th Squad be the first to enter the Mortal World…"
"General Captain Yamamoto!"
A voice suddenly interrupted Yamamoto Shigekuni!
A white-haired little boy rushed into the meeting room, his face full of tension. He was Hitsugaya Toshiro, an officer of the 10th Squad, and this young-looking new Soul Reaper hurriedly spoke: "Just now, Captain Isshin transmitted a message from the Mortal World, the Arrancar Legion is gathering at the entrance of the Soul Society and the Mortal World!"
"What?"
Each Captain's face flashed with surprise!
Is this some kind of joke?
They haven't even prepared to launch an encirclement of the Arrancar Legion, yet after causing such chaos in the Mortal World, those guys intend to invade the Soul Society?
This is simply too audacious!
Even Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni couldn't resist opening his eyes, a hint of ferocity flashing in them: "Hmm? Those Arrancars… Want to enter the Soul Society?"
The problem in the Mortal World did not concern Yamamoto Shigekuni.
Because as long as the Soul Society and Quiet Spirit Court remain, they can eventually return to the Mortal World, but if the Arrancar Legion intends to attack the Soul Society, it undoubtedly provokes a global war between Hollows and Soul Reapers!
What Yamamoto Shigekuni finds truly intolerable is the Arrancar Legion attempting to disrupt the balance and order of this world!
The Captain of the 13th Squad, Ukitake Jushiro, shook his head and somewhat astonished, spoke: "Does the Arrancar Legion really intend to invade the Soul Society like this? Such an action seems unwise, is there a conspiracy…"
"Who knows what those Arrancars are thinking?"
Zaraki Kenpachi rested his head on his hand, sneered, and said: "Maybe they think the Soul Reapers stationed in the Mortal World are too weak and believe we are a bunch not worth worrying about!"
"Captain Zaraki Kenpachi…"
Matsumoto Rangiku couldn't help but furrow her brow.
This Zaraki Kenpachi is surely mocking the members of their 10th Squad for being weak, right? Everyone knows that most stationed in the Mortal World belong to the 10th Squad!
"Enough."
Yamamoto Shigekuni interjected to prevent an impending quarrel, looking at Hitsugaya Toshiro standing at the door, asked softly: "What is the situation in the Mortal World?"
Hitsugaya Toshiro nodded hastily, speaking in a deep voice: "Captain Isshin is trying to divert or stop them at the entrance…"
This is also Shiba Isshin's intention.
Shiba Isshin doesn't want the Arrancar Legion to charge into the Soul Society.
Because Shiba Isshin understands very well the battle capability of this Arrancar Hollow Legion. If this Arrancar Legion truly goes to attack Quiet Spirit Court, it's manageable… But once these Arrancar Hollows split and scatter within Quiet Spirit Court, the entire Soul Society would be in huge trouble!
Because unless Captain-level Soul Reapers are dispatched, the other Soul Reapers have no means against this Arrancar Legion, not even a small team of two Arrancars!
Observing the gathering of the Arrancar Hollow Legion, Shiba Isshin plans to delay and prevent them from entering the Soul Society.
"There's no need for that."
Yamamoto Shigekuni grasped his cane, slowly shaking his head: "There will always be those who attempt to challenge the order of this world, so let those trying to disrupt order step into this world, let them discover where the true order of this world lies…"
Yamamoto Shigekuni profoundly understands the power of the Soul Society.
Even if hundreds of Arrancar Hollows enter, Yamamoto Shigekuni is confident in resolving this issue as long as they enter the Soul Society, every problem would be easily settled.
