Chapter 611: Arrest Feng Ye, with Immediate Effect!
Chapter 611: Arrest Feng Ye, with Immediate Effect!
In the shadows, two figures emerged from the hall.
One was petite, with snow-white hair and amber eyes, a delicate and cute face like an elf. She wore a light-colored shirt and a short skirt; it was Lilith.
The other wore a cherry blossom kimono, which, though loose, was tied tightly at the waist, accentuating her figure. She was curvaceous enough to shame countless women; it was Nel.
"What is it?"
Lilith's small, white feet stepped onto the clean corridor boards, and she looked calmly at Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, who was in the courtyard.
Even though five captains stood in the courtyard, and the captains of the Gotei 13 were stationed on the walls and eaves, her amber eyes remained clear and unperturbed.
"Third Seat of Squad 2, answer the question: Where is Lieutenant Hatake?"
Yamamoto looked at Lilith, his cane tapping lightly on the ground. With both hands on his cane, he asked in a low voice.
After mastering Bankai, Lilith had been promoted to Third Seat of Squad 2. Her position in the squad was second only to Feng Ye and Soi Fon, and even slightly higher than Soi Fon. Bankai was a symbol of status within the Gotei 13.
"As for Captain Feng's whereabouts..."
Lilith looked at Yamamoto with calm, clear eyes and replied without any emotion, "I'm sorry, but I cannot disclose that information."
Although Feng Ye hadn't brought her along, as Feng Ye's only daughter, she naturally knew where he was and what he was doing. She saw no need to report this to Yamamoto.
Lilith's bold attitude caused Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro to stiffen, and Kyoraku even twitched the corner of his mouth and adjusted his hat.
It had been so long...
since anyone dared to speak to Old Man Yamamoto like that?!
Yamamoto stood with his cane, his gaze equally calm. He didn't get angry because of Lilith's attitude. He glanced at her and then moved his eyes to Nel beside her. He said slowly, "This spiritual pressure, although a bit different from a Hollow's, does have Hollow-like components, right? Did you become like this because of Captain Feng Ye?"
He no longer referred to Feng Ye as the "Vice-Captain of Squad 2" or "Lieutenant Hatake" but addressed him directly by name. This was because he now had enough evidence to make a judgment—Feng Ye had violated the laws of Soul Society!
All eyes turned to Nel.
The captains' expressions varied; Kyoraku and Ukitake frowned in observation, while Mayuri showed interest and rubbed his hands together.
Aizen, standing not far away, adjusted his glasses and feigned attention, but a glint flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"This feeling..."
As someone who had been researching Hollowification, he had judged from the moment he saw Nel and sensed her spiritual pressure that she was an existence that broke the boundary between Hollow and Shinigami.
Nel was either a Hollow who had gained Shinigami powers or a Shinigami who had gained Hollow powers. In either case, her connection to Feng Ye indicated without a doubt that Feng Ye was not a simple figure, just as Aizen had suspected.
Aside from himself and Urahara Kisuke, there was a third person researching Hollowification!
Moreover...
Judging from Nel's form and the stability of her spiritual pressure, Feng Ye's research on Hollowification might even surpass his and Urahara's!
Although he had suspected this a long time ago, now that it was confirmed, waves stirred within him. The only thing he couldn't understand was why Feng Ye had intentionally exposed Nel.
The process by which Nel was discovered by the Gotei 13 was almost like child's play. It was clear that it wasn't due to Feng Ye's negligence, so the only conclusion Aizen could draw was that Feng Ye had done it on purpose.
Or...
Feng Ye never intended to hide Nel's existence!
As for why Feng Ye did this, Aizen couldn't yet determine his purpose. For now, he could only watch the development of the situation. After all, the current incident had nothing to do with him, and it would also allow him to gain a deeper understanding of Hollowification.
Just as all the captains, including Aizen, stared intently at Nel, she looked at Yamamoto and said, "My power was indeed granted to me by Captain Feng Ye."
Upon hearing this, all the captains' expressions changed slightly, especially Soi Fon and Yoruichi, whose faces showed drastic changes. The same thought emerged in their minds—
—This is bad!
This power, half-Hollow and half-Shinigami, was almost identical to those captains who had undergone the so-called Hollowification experiments. Such an act was undoubtedly a taboo in the Seireitei.
No matter Feng Ye's explanation or purpose for conducting this research and turning Nel into this, it was an undeniable and severe breach of the rules!
"I see.
Chapter 611: Arrest Feng Ye, with Immediate Effect!
In the face of Nel's response, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni closed his eyes and lifted his head slightly. After a brief pause, he leaned on his cane and spoke:
"Feng Ye is dismissed from his position as Vice-Captain of Squad 2."
"Lilith is dismissed from her position as Third Seat of Squad 2."
"Arrest Feng Ye, Lilith, and all individuals related to this incident. Leave the investigation to Squad 6 and pass judgment to the Central 46 Chambers."
"The above orders... are to be carried out immediately!"
Yamamoto's voice echoed through the courtyard, causing the gazes of the captains to shift slightly. Next to her, Soi Fon furrowed her brows, a look mirrored by Yoruichi.
Previously, Yoruichi had anticipated such a situation, which was why she had taken the matter of reminding Feng Ye so seriously. His response at the time seemed to indicate that he didn't mind and probably had a way to handle it.
But now...
Things clearly weren't going as expected!
Aside from the fact that Yamamoto had already issued his verdict, even without it, the current situation would be hard to justify. Moreover, the crucial problem was that Feng Ye himself wasn't even present at this critical moment, leaving them without a chance to plead their case.
And the Hollowfication...
It was hard not to associate it with Kisuke Urahara's previous experience.
Even now, Yoruichi found it difficult to believe that Feng Ye was the mastermind behind the plot against Kisuke Urahara and the others. During that incident, Feng Ye had been fighting alongside her outside the Rukongai, and he had even saved her and Soi Fon!
If her instincts were correct and Feng Ye truly wasn't the mastermind, then was this turn of events the result of a scheme by the real culprit?
"...Damn it."
Yoruichi clenched her fist as she thought this, her teeth gritting slightly as she muttered a word that only she could hear.
Soi Fon had similar thoughts, but facing the current situation, she also felt helpless. Aside from not knowing the specifics, even if she did, it would be challenging to defend Feng Ye in this situation!
"Why are you still standing there?"
After issuing his orders, Yamamoto paused for a moment, his eyes scanning the nearby captains of the Gotei 13 before slowly speaking.
Hearing Yamamoto's words, Shunsui Kyoraku sighed and drew out his zanpakuto, looking at Lilith and Nel as he said, "Well, well, since you've done something that goes against the laws of Soul Society, there's no helping it. For now, we can only arrest you."
"Master Yamamoto, could there be a misunderstanding here?"
Jushiro Ukitake's eyes held a hint of hesitation as he looked at Yamamoto.
Yamamoto glanced at Ukitake and said in a deep voice, "The evidence is conclusive. Where is the room for misunderstanding?"
Boom!!!
As his words fell, Yamamoto released his spiritual pressure.
Even without unleashing his zanpakuto, the captain-level spiritual pressure surged in all directions, causing the spiritual particles in the air to vibrate violently.
Yamamoto's sudden release of spiritual pressure prompted the nearby captains to react. Aside from Yoruichi, all the other captains drew their zanpakutos. On one hand, they resisted the spiritual pressure that Yamamoto was directing in all directions, and on the other hand, they released their own spiritual pressures.
Boom!!!
Yamamoto, Shunsui Kyoraku, Retsu Unohana, Sosuke Aizen, Ginrei Kuchiki, Sajin Komamura, Kaname Tosen, Shunsui Kyoraku, Isshin Shiba, Love Aikawa, Kenpachi Zaraki, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, Jushiro Ukitake—
A total of twelve captains and vice-captains, including the acting captains, released their captain-level spiritual pressures one after another!
With over ten captains' spiritual pressures unleashed in the small courtyard, the sky above it immediately showed visible signs of distortion, with the spiritual particles in the air displaying noticeable ripples and tremors, like little boats in a raging storm.
The entire sky suddenly darkened.
The clouds on the horizon quickly gathered, swirling like a vortex in the sky, with faint streaks of lightning crisscrossing within.
The massive and chaotic spiritual pressures intertwined, causing the members of Squad 2 gathered outside the barracks to involuntarily back away, the weaker ones collapsing to the ground.
At the same time...
In the barracks of Squads 3, 4, and 5, and all the other squads, the vice-captains and the Shinigami on standby, led by their vice-captains, almost all had their expressions change as they looked towards Squad 2's barracks.
Sensing the dozen terrifying spiritual pressures rising from the direction of Squad 2's barracks, almost no one could remain calm, and everyone showed signs of shock.
"Captain Kyoraku's spiritual pressure... and Captain Aizen's as well..."
"Even the Captain-Commander..."
"What in the world is going on over there!"
