I don't think so.
Hearing Nemu's words, Yoshio muttered to himself.
If something like this happened in Hueco Mundo, Aizen might have to get involved.
If he gets pulled in, it's hard to say if your Twelfth Division's technology will still be useful.
Of course, he would never say this out loud.
"Let's wait for the Captains' meeting."
At this point, Ginjiro spoke: "Captains, it's time to decide the next course of action."
Yoshio nodded and said nothing more.
The incident caused by Hollow White was indeed quite serious. First, it severely injured Thirteenth Division Captain Jūshirō Ukitake and Lieutenant Shiba Kaien, and now it had led to the Hueco Mundo Dispatch Team being 'annihilated.'
The first time, there were no casualties, but this time... Soul Society couldn't remain silent.
However, Yoshio wasn't optimistic about Soul Society sending a large-scale dispatch of Captains to Hueco Mundo. After all, Hueco Mundo wasn't their territory; rashly entering enemy land was very dangerous.
Each Captain was an important combat force in the Gotei 13; if something happened, it would be disastrous.
But Yoshio guessed that no matter what the other squads did, Zaraki Kenpachi would definitely go.
Not to mention that the 'missing' Shinigami in Hueco Mundo were from the Eleventh Division; just based on Kenpachi's personality, he wouldn't allow himself to miss such an event.
The last Hueco Mundo Dispatch Team went without him, which must have been hard for him to endure.
And just as he guessed, after the Captains' meeting ended, the consensus reached was indeed that.
Under the leadership of Eleventh Division Captain Zaraki Kenpachi, Soul Society would dispatch another Hueco Mundo Dispatch Team.
And this time, after several years, Yoshio, who had come to Seireitei, finally met the various Captains.
He met Captain-Commander Yamamoto, whose Soul Ability was ['Eternal Order.']
["Eternal Order: Designate an existing order, making it forever unchangeable. When someone disrupts this order, they will suffer backlash."]
For Yamamoto, who had lived for thousands of years and was content to be a sharp blade in the hands of Central 46, maintaining the existing order of Soul Society and the balance of the Three Realms was what he must do.
It was understandable that he had such an ability, but unfortunately, it wasn't a direct offensive ability.
Simply put, this ability was to make a law come alive.
For example, murder. Everyone knows that murder requires punishment and is illegal.
So, if Yoshio used this ability to designate that law, it couldn't completely prevent murders from happening.
Instead, it would cause those who violate the law to suffer a spiritual impact. The power of the impact didn't depend on Yoshio's strength, but on the power represented by that law, rule, or order.
For instance, the rule that Soul Society is ruled by the Soul King is something almost everyone acknowledges and has been in effect for nearly a million years. So, if someone tried to 'usurp the throne,' the backlash they suffered would be extremely powerful!
But if the order wasn't widely acknowledged and hadn't existed for long, the spiritual backlash wouldn't be very strong.
For example, in the original plot, Rukia's trial was an order from Central 46, but many Shinigami questioned it.
If 'Eternal Order' was used to designate that, the backlash on the person executing the sentence would be very weak.
So, if used properly, this ability would be extremely overpowered.
Conversely, if used improperly, it would be almost useless.
But regardless, Yoshio still wanted to obtain this ability. But how difficult would it be to increase Yamamoto's favorability?
Increasing Kyōraku Shunsui's favorability was already very difficult, and while Yamamoto wasn't a cunning old fox, he was a stubborn old man!
Moreover, compared to Kyōraku, Yoshio normally had no way to interact with Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto!
Sigh, looks like I need to think of a way.
Captain-Commander Yamamoto often held tea parties, but they were all within the First Division. He wasn't a member of the First Division, so forcing his way in wasn't impossible, but that was just the beginning.
Gaining Yamamoto's favorability would definitely be very difficult, unless...
He could save Soul Society like Kurosaki Ichigo did!
For now...
It's best not to consider it.
Honestly, Yamamoto's Soul Ability wasn't as valuable as Aizen's. Aizen's ['Apotheosis'] could directly make Yoshio a god, and the difficulty of obtaining these two Soul Abilities was about the same, so it was better for him to stay in Aizen's camp.
Besides Yamamoto, Second Division Captain Suì-Fēng's Soul Ability was ['Worship and Love.']
["Worship and Love: The people you worship and the people you love will return your worship and love."]
Hmm, this ability was useless, not even as good as giving Yoshio a Shunkō.
Simply put, like Tōsen Kaname's [Revenge Soul]; Yoshio had no enemies, nor anyone he worshipped or loved.
This ability was too obstructive for Yoshio, so he'd pass on it.
Even if Yoshio fell in love with someone in the future, he would never use an ability to force them to love him back. Winning on his own merit was skill; losing meant failure. Using an ability would make it meaningless.
Third Division's Ichimaru Gin's ['Viper,'] Fourth Division's Retsu Unohana's ['Master of Medicine and Sword,'] Fifth Division's Aizen's ['Apotheosis,'] Sixth Division's Kuchiki Byakuya's ['Elegance in Battle']—these needed no further explanation.
Seventh Division's Komamura Sajin's was ['Immortal Existence.']
"Immortal Existence: 'Humanize' non-human beings; in their humanized state, they are immortal."
This ability...
Though it seemed useless at first glance, Yoshio could use it on others.
Shinigami obviously didn't need it, as they were already humanoid.
But Hollows were different; Hollows had very ugly appearances, and even Arrancar... it wasn't certain if they were truly 'human.'
I wonder if it could be used on Arrancar... If so, this ability would be quite powerful.
This ability was probably related to Komamura Sajin later finding his great-grandfather, sacrificing his heart for humanization to gain immortality in order to avenge Yamamoto.
The big dog was a loyal person; his favorability should be relatively easy to increase.
Eighth Division's Kyōraku's ability was ["Inner and Outer Inconsistency,"] Ninth Division's Tōsen Kaname's was ["Revenge Soul,"] Tenth Division's Shiba Isshin's was ["Ultimate Zanpakutō Fusion,"] Eleventh Division's Zaraki Kenpachi's was ["Rampage."]
[Rampage: Greatly increases speed and strength, decreases intelligence and defense.]
