*Whizz*
A gust of wind blew by, picking up fallen leaves from the streets of Rukongai and sending them flying in all directions.
In the streets of Rukongai, some civilians were wandering just like they normally do. Suddenly, out of the corner of their eyes, they saw a group of figures in black clothes.
Shinigami.
The great people living in Seireitei, they actually came to Rukongai, and not just one or two, but in multiple groups.
Although curious about their purpose, in the end, out of awe of the shinigami, many Rukongai civilians quickly left the streets and went inside their homes to hide.
Under the leadership of Yamamoto, many shinigami passed through the streets of Rukongai, and then came to a temporary Senkaimon that stood in the outskirts.
Next to the Senkaimon, Mayuri was doing the final adjustment work.
After all, the scale of this expedition to Hueco Mundo was much larger than before. The previous portals could not be used, especially due to Byakuya's complaints. Last time, when Mayuri sent them to Hueco Mundo, there was an accident during the process and they were scattered all over Hueco Mundo.
Mazuru also took advantage of that opportunity to separate from them reasonably, and then stirred up the trouble in the Las Noches.
Byakuya's bluntness made Mayuri very embarrassed.
In order to regain the lost face, this time, he worked really patiently to build a perfect Senkaimon.
*Bang*
The crutch in Yamamoto's hand hit the ground hard, and the dust flew up. He looked at Mayuri and asked, "Captain Kurotsuchi, how long will it take?"
"It's almost done, it will be ready soon."
Yamamoto nodded, then glanced at Shunsui, his favorite student, and asked, "Has everyone arrived?"
Shunsui responded, "Except for the First Division's vice-captain Sasakibe, the Second Division's vice-captain Omaeda, the Fourth Division's captain Unohana and vice-captain Isane, the Ninth Division's captain Shiba and vice-captain Hisagi, and the Thirteenth Division's captain Jushiro and vice-captain Ashido, the other captains and vice-captains of Gotei 13 are all here."
"From all the other divisions, countless seated officers volunteered to go to Hueco Mundo to fight and have arrived."
Shunsui responded to Yamamoto's question.
He couldn't help but feel emotional in his heart.
The lineup for the Hueco Mundo expedition this time was absolutely unprecedented. In terms of formation, it even surpassed that of the last Karakura Town battle.
In the battle of Karakura Town, although many captains went to the world of living to participate in the battle, but before the decisive battle, Yamamoto had sent four captains to Hueco Mundo to help Ichigo.
There were only nine captains who actually participated in the battle in this world.
And this time, except for the captains of the Fourth, Ninth, and Thirteenth Divisions, who were staying in the Soul Society, the rest of the divisions could be said to have come out in full force.
Of course, if only the number of captains were to be counted, Mazuru's defection also made it that were only nine of them, but their real combat power was definitely more than last time.
Because there was an extra monster, Zaraki in it.
Zaraki who had never awakened Zanpakuto was already very strong, let alone Zaraki who had awakened his Zanpakuto and had also learned Bankai.
Of course, there were some things that made Shunsui puzzled.
Jushiro and Ashido did not participate in the battle, it could be understood that Jushiro was sick and weak, and Ashido does not want to go to the sad place Hueco Mundo where he was trapped in self-blame for many years. Shiba Kaien of the Ninth Division did not go to the battle because Seireitei needed him to stay and be on guard.
But Unohana, she forgoing to go to Hueco Mundo this time was the real surprise.
In the Hueco Mundo expedition, casualties were inevitable.
As a result, Unohana, the captain of the medical team, refused to go to Hueco Mundo.
But after all, this is an old senior's decision, even if it was Yamamoto, he wouldn't force the other party.
After listening to Shunsui's report, Yamamoto nodded lightly and didn't say much.
After Shunsui finished reporting these things, his eyes could not help but sweep across Nanao's face.
Nanao's resolute expression made Shunsui couldn't help but sigh sadly.
He didn't know how many times he persuaded Nanao not to participate in the Hueco Mundo expedition, but in the end, Nanao made up her mind to participate. Of course Shunsui knew why, it was because of Mazuru.
It was worth mentioning that the last time Nanao confronted him like this was also for Mazuru.
'Mazuru, you bastard, you are really harmful!'
Nanao was not the only one that Mazuru had harmed.
In the queue of the Second Division, Sui Feng was standing with an indifferent look.
Originally, her vice-captain Omaeda volunteered to join her in this expedition, but she refused the offer in the end. Rather than taking Omaeda to participate in the expedition, she wanted to capture Mazuru by herself.
In the Tenth division group, both the captain and vice-captain looked complicated.
The rest of the team were actually not much better.
In simple words, Mazuru's betrayal affected those who were close to Mazuru in Gotei 13 the most, and just as Mazuru's intention, all of Mazuru's contacts were high-level personnel of Gotei.
Especially since his defection was after Aizen's defection, and Aizen's defection caused harm to many shinigami in Seireitei. This betrayal could be described as adding insult to injury.
After Mayuri completed the final adjustment of the Senkaimon, he reported the matter to Yamamoto.
Yamamoto promptly gave an order, and immediately, under the leadership of many captains and vice-captains headed by him, all the shinigami present, dressed in Shihakushō, Zanpakuto around their waists, and brown summer robes, followed behind them, stepped into the Senkaimon, and officially headed towards Hueco Mundo.
Among all the shinigami, most of them were going to Hueco Mundo for the first time. After all, the Soul Society had never organized such a large-scale Hueco Mundo expedition before.
But even if it was their first time, there was no fear on their faces.
One of the reasons was that in order to maintain the glory of shinigami the Soul Society, they must carry out this expedition against Hueco Mundo.
The second reason was that there was the head-captain himself, followed by many captains in front of them.
Even if they were met with some huge crisis, there were strong people in front of them to protect and lead them out of the crisis.
…
In Las Noches, the fact that so many shinigami arrived at Hueco Mundo at the same time was quickly detected by the people there.
"You guys really made a big deal."
Mazuru couldn't help but sigh.
