Chapter 740: The Night City Captain, a Popular Choice!
Chapter 740: The Night City Captain, a Popular Choice!
"Commander, since Captain Momo Hana is unable to go to Hueco Mundo, I believe that Captain Kyouraku of the 8th Division is absolutely up to the task!"
Upon hearing Night City's response, Kyouraku Chunshui, who had already sensed something amiss, immediately wore an expression of expected confirmation.
Indeed, regarding Night City's response, Kyouraku had not the slightest surprise.
Because if it were him, he would also unhesitatingly sell out Night City.
The two men's personalities are actually quite similar; although lazy and unambitious, they still have some sense of decency.
They couldn't possibly be so heartless as to send Fuzuki, Inu, and Toushirou to their deaths. The Commander couldn't choose, so aside from selling out his teammates, there was no other choice!
"Chunshui, Night City Captain recommends you as a member of the Special Task Force to go to Hueco Mundo. What are your thoughts on this?"
What thoughts? Well, Kyouraku Chunshui would naturally refuse. Does this even need consideration?
However, to refuse, one must have sufficient reason and also find a poor soul to take his place.
And in order to find this poor soul, Kyouraku Chunshui once again quickly scanned the remaining captains with his eyes.
As for Fuzuki, well, let it go. Normally, when he occasionally takes the blame for his buddy, it's fine, but this time, since they're going to Hueco Mundo, with an extremely high possibility of intense combat, and with the other party's sickly body, Chunshui is very worried that the other party won't return from this trip.
Captain Nichigayaku is relatively inexperienced, although his strength and talent are not bad. But for him, an employee with several hundred years of experience, to recommend such a workplace newbie to go on this adventure, this is truly...
Captain Inu has the intention to go to Hueco Mundo and looks at him expectantly.
Because Captain Inu has always harbored resentment towards his buddy, Dongxian Yao, for the other party's previous unhesitating departure to Hueco Mundo, now with this opportunity, he, Sakemura Satoru, naturally needs to ask the other party why.
Unfortunately, Captain Inu sends a hopeful gaze towards Kyouraku Chunshui, but the latter directly chooses to ignore it.
Then, looking towards the Commander, he says, "Commander, I feel that compared to me, Captain Night City of the 5th Division is the best choice for this Special Task Force.
First, regardless of Barragan's purpose or disguise, Captain Night City was the first to see through it. He possesses an intuition and investigative ability far surpassing ours.
Secondly, Captain Night City also said that this action is accompanied by certain dangers, so it's best to be equipped with accompanying medical personnel.
If Captain Momo Hana has something important to attend to, I believe this responsibility, Captain Night City should take up without hesitation.
After all, Captain Night City's Zanpakutou and Haido skills are even praised by Captain Momo Hana.
It's not that Kyouraku Chunshui doesn't want to help Captain Inu, or rather, it's quite the opposite.
Captain Inu was struck by Barragan's black coffin last time and was originally severely injured. Plus, with his own strength at the bottom of the captain level, it's truly a pure and simple search for death.
"No, no, no. Regarding Kyouraku's words, I truly cannot communicate.
I, Captain Night City, have only been a captain for so long. In terms of seniority, I absolutely have the least seniority here.
Such an important task, how can I entrust to a newcomer to handle? This is truly too rash.
Kyouraku Chunshui would recommend himself, and Night City also anticipated this early on. So, facing his former teammate's betrayal, Night City naturally argues back.
"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Captain Night City has the strength and the ability."
And although your time as a captain is indeed short, your experience as a Shinigami is not any less than many of those present, right?"
Looking at the two of them arguing, their faces flushed and spit flying as they spoke passionately, the Commander knocked his cane again, signaling for them to calm down.
"Since you both believe the other is more suitable to go to Hueco Mundo, for fairness, we'll follow the usual custom and let everyone vote."
Yecheng: ( _ ;
Jingyue Chunshui: ( ￣ ￣ )
Upon hearing the Commander's decision, Yecheng and Jingyue Chunshui's faces immediately displayed contrasting expressions.
Even before the voting began, they had already anticipated the final outcome.
Compared to the enthusiastic Jingyue Chunshui, Yecheng's face visibly drooped.
It was common knowledge that the voting in Shinigami captain meetings was almost as good as a direct appointment.
With Jingyue Chunshui as his opponent, if it were before, Yecheng might have had a chance.
But just now, to avoid this mission and shirk his duties, coupled with his previous act of revenge in choosing him as captain, he had managed to offend nearly every captain present.
Soon enough, the final result was out, and Yecheng overwhelmingly led with an impressive number of votes, easily crushing Jingyue Chunshui and becoming a privileged member of the special task force headed to Hueco Mundo.
In other words, the team preparing to go to Hueco Mundo consisted of five Shinigami captains: Suibee, Yecheng, Kyouraku Shunsui, Kensei Zekkai, and Neigan Li, along with their vice-captains, Omaeda, Hirasen Tao, Yasutora, Yachiru, and Neinmu, making a total of ten people.
It was impossible for all the captains of the Gotei 13 to leave, so the remaining captains and vice-captains stayed behind to guard the Pure Spirit Court.
As he left the First Division, Yecheng was completely dejected, and Jingyue Chunshui, feeling a bit embarrassed, eventually patted him on the shoulder, promising to treat him to the finest Izakaya when he returned.
However, Yecheng not only didn't appreciate Jingyue Chunshui's consolation but also drew his sword and chased this guy down for dozens of blocks.
The reason was simple; in Yecheng's eyes, Jingyue Chunshui was a real scoundrel, getting away with his laziness and even setting up a flag before leaving, as if he wasn't afraid of dying fast enough!
Compared to Yecheng, who exuded a lack of enthusiasm, practically writing the word "so" on his forehead, the other members of the special task force were quite eager.
Although displeased at being called out by Yecheng, Kensei Zekkai and Neigan Li were still very interested in going to Hueco Mundo.
Both of them were battle maniacs, thinking that there should be many formidable opponents in Hueco Mundo, which would make for an enjoyable fight.
And because Hueco Mundo wasn't the Pure Spirit Court, this time, Kensei Zekkai could finally let loose without any restrictions.
As for Neigan Li, unlike Kensei Zekkai's battle mania, he was a research maniac.
For someone like Neigan Li, who was obsessed with research, Hueco Mundo, an unknown region, and the Hollows were like a treasure trove.
There was no need to mention Kyouraku Shunsui; he was originally going to restore his family's honor, so he also had no objections to this mission.
The only one who didn't have much interest in Hueco Mundo and had no particular purpose was probably Suibee.
But she had always been a strict and meticulous person, and when she saw Yecheng's dejected face, she couldn't help but remind him as she passed by: "Hueco Mundo is not the Gensei. If you keep being so lax, you will truly die.
And our mission this time is important. I hope you can muster some enthusiasm."
