The man in the bamboo hat initially thought that the two men were here to fight, but after talking for a while, he found out that they actually wanted to recruit him into the Gotei 13?
Just when I was about to find a job, the job fell on my head. How could such a good thing happen in this world?
"I'll write you a letter of introduction, and you can take this letter directly to the Gotei 13. I may be away for work in the next two days, so you can find any team member. They will take you to see the Captain-Commander, and the Captain-Commander will receive you. By the way, I don't know your name yet." Yamabuki asked.
The man in the bamboo hat took off his hat, revealing a sunny and cheerful middle-aged face.
"Call me Danjirō Obana!" said the man in the bamboo hat.
Yamabuki raised his eyebrows slightly. This man turned out to be the future captain of the 5th Division of the Gotei 13. No wonder he has such extraordinary Zanjutsu (Swordsmanship)!
In this case, we can't let him go.
Yamabuki took out some money from his pocket and gave it to him, asking him to settle the children first.
"I know you can't bear to leave these children, but if the catastrophe in half a year doesn't pass, not to mention these children, the whole world will be reduced to ashes." Yamabuki said this seemingly unintentionally. Danjirō Obana asked curiously, "The catastrophe in half a year? What are you talking about?"
"That's right. Outsiders don't know yet, but this world will face a catastrophe in half a year. If we fail, the consequences will be disastrous. Now you are not a Shinigami (Soul Reaper), so I can't tell you this. After your identity is confirmed, you will know the ins and outs of this matter." Yamabuki intends to be mysterious to the end.
People are curious, otherwise a certain little Buddha named Wu would not be fooled by all kinds of secrets.
Danjirō Obana may not be a very curious person, but he is definitely a caring person, as can be seen from the fact that he adopted these children.
Therefore, he will definitely come to the Gotei 13 to find me.
Afterwards, Yamabuki and Unohana returned home to prepare their things for going to Hueco Mundo (White Desert) in three days.
Yamabuki is also an old visitor to Hueco Mundo (White Desert). The wind and sand in Hueco Mundo are very strong, so a hat and sunglasses are needed to avoid the sand getting into the eyes during battle. Then there are various foods and water. There cannot be many people in this exploration mission. The Quincies (Vandenreich) are very powerful. Ordinary soldiers will only be slaughtered unilaterally when they encounter members of the Sternritter (Star Knights). Therefore, Yamabuki decided that all the people going to Hueco Mundo (White Desert) this time will be captains.
At the same time, to prevent the Quincy from attacking Soul Society (Seireitei) out of desperation, not too many people can be brought along. Unohana is one, and the other person... it has been decided, Batsu'unsai Katori.
Last time she wanted to go on a mission with me, but I rejected her. I can't leave her alone all the time. It's time to let her out and have some experience.
To go to Hueco Mundo (White Desert), there is another indispensable person, and that is Baraggan, the former king of Hueco Mundo (White Desert).
If we were to say who is most familiar with Hueco Mundo (White Desert), it would definitely be Baraggan, who was once known as the King of Hueco Mundo (White Desert). Even though his combat power has not kept up with the previous version, he can still use his authority to command the other Hollows and have them help search for the Quincy's whereabouts.
Thinking of this, Yamabuki went to the 12th Division again, preparing to borrow Baraggan from Uhin Zenjōji.
Baraggan has experimental materials that are rarely seen in a thousand years. Uhin Zenjōji will definitely not let him die so easily.
Sure enough, after seeing Baraggan, Baraggan's tortured skeletal body had shrunk a lot.
"Ahem, Baraggan, look who's here?"
When Baraggan heard the voice, he raised his head slightly, and when he saw it was Yamabuki, his face turned green.
If he still has a face.
Why is this demon here? What else does he want after I've already been like this? Is the final step finally coming? Is he going to... do that to me?
Yamabuki didn't know what was going on in Baraggan's mind. He coughed hard and said, "Baraggan, how is your life these days? The organization misses you very much."
Only the devil wants to be missed by you!
Baraggan complained silently in his heart.
"The organization will now give you a chance to make amends for your mistakes. If you perform well, it is not impossible to give you your freedom." Yamabuki said.
This is not nonsense. Although Hollows are vicious, they will never achieve anything great without organization and discipline.
Now the biggest enemy of the Shinigami is the Quincy. The Quincy hate the Hollows so much that they will spare no effort to eliminate them. If Baraggan is released back, he might fight with these Quincy, which can also temporarily relieve the pressure on Soul Society (Seireitei).
There was a gleam of desire for freedom in Baraggan's red eyes.
"What do you want me to do?" asked Baraggan.
Since being imprisoned, Baraggan realized the value of freedom. Now he dreams of returning to Hueco Mundo (White Desert).
That was his home.
"Some enemies of the Shinigami fled to Hueco Mundo (White Desert). Considering that you were once the king of Hueco Mundo (White Desert), we would like to use your power to search for the enemies. Is that ok?" asked Yamabuki.
"Of course, no problem." Baraggan agreed without thinking. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he lost it, he didn't know when he would be free again. Or one day he might be figured out and dragged out to silence him.
It would be great if I could take advantage of this opportunity to escape.
I, Baraggan, am a natural-born king and will never yield to anyone.
"This is a Reiatsu (Spiritual Pressure) suppression bracelet. After you wear it, your Reiatsu will be restricted around your body. Don't even think about running away. You have seen my strength. You can't escape from me." Yamabuki said.
Baraggan nodded hastily.
Not running is foolish.
Once I return to the Hueco Mundo (White Desert), it will be like a dragon returning to the sea or a tiger entering the mountains. I will let you see what it means to let a tiger return to the mountains.
After I return to Hueco Mundo (White Desert), I will definitely find a place to hide for three to five hundred years. I will come out after everyone in Soul Society (Seireitei) has forgotten the existence of a Hollow like me.
Revenge? Revenge is impossible! I will never be able to take revenge in this life. The captains of the Gotei 13 are as strong as monsters. How can I beat so many people? The strongest of my men is only Adjuchas-level. Adjuchas are considered masters if they can take ten moves in front of a captain.
The reason why the Arrancars of later generations were so strong was because Aizen used the Hōgyoku to study Arrancarization, merging the power of the Shinigami and the Hollow, so Grimmjow and others had a chance to come to the fore.
In this era, Adjuchas are only slightly stronger than the vice-captains. They may not be able to beat an elite vice-captain, let alone those crazy captains.
Kill one if one comes, and chop a pair if two come!
So, if he regained his freedom, Baraggan decided to find a place to hide for a few hundred years first.
