In the shadows.
Two figures walked out from the front of the hall.
One of them had a slender figure, snow-white hair, amber eyes, and a cute face. She was wearing a light-colored shirt and a short skirt. It was Lilith.
The other person was wearing a cherry blossom kimono. Although the kimono was very loose, it was tight at the waist. Her figure was curvy enough to make countless women feel ashamed.
"What's the matter?"
Lilith's snow-white feet stepped on the clean wooden planks of the corridor. She looked calmly at Yamamoto, who was facing her in the courtyard, and said.
Although there were five captains standing in the courtyard, and there were captains of the Gotei 13 standing on the walls and eaves, her eyes were still as clear as amber. There were no waves or ripples in her eyes.
"Second Division's third seat, answer the question, where is Vice-captain Hatake?"
Yamamoto looked at Lilith and gently lowered the crutch in his hand to touch the ground. He leaned on the crutch with both hands and spoke in a deep voice.
After Lilith mastered Bankai, she was promoted to the second division's third seat officer. Her position in the second division was only second to Maples and Ye Yi. It was even higher than Soi Fon. Bankai itself was a symbol of status in the Gotei 13.
"Onii-sama's whereabouts …"
Lilith looked at Yamamoto with a pair of clear and calm eyes, and said without any fluctuation in her voice, "No comment."
Although Maples didn't take her, as the only daughter of the Maples, she naturally knew where the Maples went and what Maples was doing now. For her, there was no need to report these things to Yamamoto.
Lilith's expression made Shunsui Okitake and the others' faces stiffen. Shunsui Okitake's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but press his bamboo hat.
How long has it been …
No one dared to talk to Yamamoto like this?!
Yamamoto stood there with his cane, and his eyes were very calm. He wasn't angry because of Lilith's attitude. After staring at Lilith, he moved his eyes to Nero and said slowly, "Although this Reiatsu is not the same as Hollow, it does have some Hollow elements. You became like this because of Hatake Maples?"
He no longer called Maples as Vice-captain of the Second Division or Vice-captain of Hatake, but directly called him by his name. At this time, he almost had enough evidence to make a judgment. Maples violated the law of Soul Society!
Everyone's eyes were focused on Nero.
The captains had different expressions.... Shunsui Okitake and the others frowned, while Mayuri showed interest and rubbed his hands.
Aizen, who was standing not far away, adjusted his glasses and pretended to be interested, but in fact, there was a glimmer of light in his eyes.
"This feeling …"
As someone who had been studying the Hollow, when he saw Nero and sensed her Reiatsu at close range, he had already judged that Nero had broken the boundary between Hollow and Shinigami.
Nero was either a Hollow who had obtained the power of the Grim Reaper, or a Grim Reaper who had obtained the power of the Grim Reaper. If she was connected to Feng Ye in this situation, there was no doubt that Feng Ye was not a simple person!
In addition to him and Urahara Kisuke, there was a third person who studied the Hollow!
And.
Looking at Nero's form and the stability of her Reiatsu, Maples' research on the Hollow may be better than him and Urahara Kisuke!
Although he had guessed this a long time ago, now that he confirmed it, he was still shocked. The only thing he didn't understand was why Maples deliberately exposed Nero.
The whole process of Nero being discovered by the Gotei 13 was like a child's play. Obviously, it wasn't because of Maples' carelessness, so he could only conclude that Maples did this on purpose!
Or.
Maples didn't intend to hide Nero's existence!
As for why Maples did this, he couldn't make a conclusion for the time being. For now, he could only observe the development of the situation. Anyway, the current matter had nothing to do with him, so he could have a deeper understanding of the Hollow.
While all the captains, including Aizen, were staring at Niro, Niro looked at Yamamoto Ryu Shigekuni and said:
"My power was indeed bestowed by Maples -sama."
When this was said.
All the captains' expression changed, especially Soi Fon and Ye Yi. The two women's expression changed drastically, and they had the same thought in their mind. That is …
-Shit!
This half Hollow half Shinigami's power was almost the same as the captains who were subjected to the Hollow experiment. This was undoubtedly a taboo in Soul Society!
No matter how Feng Ye explained it, no matter what Feng Ye's goal was, conducting this kind of research and making Niru like this was definitely the most serious violation of the rules!
"I see."
When Yamamoto heard Nero's answer, he closed his eyes and slightly raised his head. After pausing for a few seconds, he leaned on his cane and said:
"Hatake Maples is relieved of his position as the vice-captain of the Second Division."
"Hatake Lilith is relieved of her position as the third captain of the Second Division."
"Arrest everyone related to this incident, including Hatake Maples and Hatake Lilith, and hand them over to Central 46. The investigation will be handled by the Sixth Division."
"The above … will be executed immediately!"
Yamamoto's voice reverberated in the courtyard, causing the gazes of the captains to change slightly. Ye Yi frowned, and so did Soi Fon.
Ye Yi had expected this to happen, so she solemnly reminded Maples. At that time, Maples didn't seem to care, so he should have a way to deal with it.
But now.
The situation was obviously not right!
Not to mention that Yamamoto's decision was already made, even if it wasn't, this situation would be difficult to accept. The most important problem was that Maples wasn't here at such a crucial time!
If that was the case, he wouldn't even have the chance to defend himself.
And the Hollow …
It was hard for her to not connect this to Urahara Kisuke's previous experience.
At this moment, Ye Yi still couldn't believe that Maples was the mastermind behind this plot. Because at that time, Maples was outside Rukun Street, fighting side by side with her, and saving her and Soi Fon!
If her intuition was correct, Maples wasn't the mastermind behind this, then what happened now was really a plot by the mastermind.
"… Damn it."
Thinking of this, Ye Yi couldn't help but clench her fists, and slightly gritted her teeth to squeeze out a word that only she could hear.
Soi Fon almost thought the same thing as Ye Yi, but at this time, facing the situation, she also felt helpless. Not to mention that she didn't know the specific situation, even if she knew, it would be difficult for her to explain for Maples in this situation.
"What are you waiting for?"
Yamamoto paused for a few seconds after giving the order, glanced at the captains of the Gotei 13, and slowly said.
Hearing Yamamoto's words, Shunsui Kyūraku sighed, pulled out the Zanpakuto hanging on his waist, and looked at Lilith and Niru, and said:
"Ahhhh, since you have done something against the law, there is no other way. Right now, I can only arrest you first."
"Genryusai sensei, is there a misunderstanding?"
Juushirou Ukitake's eyes had a hint of hesitation as he looked at Yamamoto.
Yamamoto looked at Juushirou Ukitake and said in a deep voice: "The evidence is conclusive, there is no misunderstanding!"
Boom!!!
As his voice fell, Yamamoto released his Reiatsu.
Although he didn't release his Zanpakuto, the captain-level Reiatsu still swept in all directions, and in an instant, the Reiatsu in the air violently shook.
Yamamoto's Reiatsu finally made the captains nearby respond. All the captains except Ye Yi pulled out their Zanpakuto. On one hand, they resisted Yamamoto's Reiatsu, and on the other hand, they released their own Reiatsu.
Rumble!!!
Yamamoto Genryu, Yūichi Shigekuni, Unohana Retsu, Aizen Yuusuke, Kukiki Yinling, Sakura Sajin, Higashien Yao, Kyōraku Shunsui, Shiba Isshin, Oni Yancheng Kenpachi, Mayuri Naruto, Ukitake Juushirou
A total of twelve captains and acting captains, and their Reiatsu erupted one after another!
The spiritual pressure of more than ten captains was released in the small courtyard. In almost an instant, it caused the sky above the small courtyard to distort. One could see that the spiritual droplets in the atmosphere were trembling and ripples that could be seen with the naked eye. It was as if there were small boats in a violent storm.
The entire sky suddenly darkened.
One could see that the dark clouds on the horizon were rapidly converging, intertwining in the sky like a vortex. Faintly, one could see bolts of lightning crisscrossing within.
The huge and chaotic Reiatsu intertwined together, and the Second Division members gathered outside almost couldn't help but retreat, and the weak ones were directly crushed to the ground.
At the same time.
The Third Division, the Fourth Division, the Fifth Division … In all the other divisions, led by the vice-captains, many members of the Shinigami were on standby, and almost all of their expressions changed dramatically, and they looked in the direction of the Second Division.
Perceiving the terrifying Reiatsu that appeared in the direction of the Second Division, almost everyone couldn't keep calm, and they all showed a little shock.
"Band Leader Kyo's Reiatsu … and Captain Aizen's Reiatsu …"
"Even the Head Captain …"
"Over there … what happened!"
