As The Mizukage, Having a Zanpakuto Is Reasonable, Right?

Thus, the matter of Ukitake becoming the Captain-Commander was decided!

"Let's go!" Yamamoto took the lead, leading everyone out of the Seireitei.

Seeing this, Toshiro was very puzzled: "Captain-Commander, aren't you going to the Soul King Palace? Why are we heading out of the Seireitei!?"

"Heh heh, that's very simple!" Kyoraku, relieved of a troublesome matter, said cheerfully: "The thing for going to the Soul King Palace is in the Rukongai. So they have to go to the Rukongai!"

"The Rukongai!!?" Hearing Kyoraku's words, Toshiro grew more and more confused.

But he didn't ask further… what if it was something sensitive?

So, led by Captain-Commander Yamamoto, they headed to the Rukongai.

Soon after, two massive arms appeared before everyone.

On the golden arms was a banner bearing the Shiba Clan's crest.

This was truly the symbol of the Shiba Clan!

Having arrived here meant they were in Shiba Kukaku's territory.

At this moment, seeing Yamamoto's arrival, the Shiba Clan's servant guarding the gate was so shocked he could barely speak.

After a long while, he tremblingly approached: "Captain-Commander, why are you..."

"It's none of your business, go inform Shiba Kukaku!" Yamamoto interrupted him before he finished.

"Yes!" The servant dared not delay and immediately went to find Kukaku.

Soon after, a voluptuous and sexy woman walked out.

However, compared to her revealing and sexy attire, the most striking thing was her missing arm!

Such a beautiful woman had only one arm!

However, everyone glanced at her and didn't look further… perhaps she had some unspeakable difficulties.

Looking at everyone, Kukaku was also very surprised.

"Oh, the Captain-Commander graces the Shiba Residence. What important business brings you here?" Kukaku asked.

Hearing her words, Yamamoto turned his head aside: "Don't you already know?"

Kukaku fell silent… she indeed knew.

After all, these people's Captain's Haori had the character for 'Zero' written on them.

Meaning they were from Zero Division.

And it was obvious what Zero Division wanted at the Shiba Residence.

"Honored guests, follow me!" Kukaku walked off to the side.

Soon after, everyone arrived at a place with a huge cannon barrel.

"Here we are!" Kukaku stopped.

At this point, Sora interjected: "I've actually been meaning to ask, aren't we going to the Soul King Palace? I understand needing a special passage to get to the Soul King Palace, but this..."

Looking at the Flower Crane Cannon before him, honestly, Sora wasn't very keen on being launched up there.

"Oh, it's like this, my lord. This is our tool for traveling between the Soul King Palace and the ground. Since the Soul King Palace hangs high above the Seireitei and we usually don't come down, we have to rely on this to return!" Ichibe'e explained.

"Oh, I see!" Hearing Ichibe'e's explanation, Sora feigned understanding.

However, he also showed a troubled expression: "Does it have to be this way? I'm a bit reluctant."

"Ah, apologies, my lord..." Ichibe'e showed an embarrassed look: "Our facilities are simple, this is the only way!"

At the same time, Ichibe'e was secretly pleased. If this could make Sora give up on visiting the Soul King Palace, even better.

After all, while Sora said he wouldn't interfere, but who knew?

However, Sora had already anticipated their anticipation.

"Alright!" Sora sighed: "Since that's the case, fine. You all take the cannon, and I'll hitch a ride!"

"Hitch a ride!!?" Hearing Sora's words, everyone was shocked: "What does that mean?"

"It's like this!" Sora explained: "Hitching a ride refers to how, in the Living World, some people, at the moment a vehicle passes by, climb onto its back to travel."

"So my hitching a ride is simple. When the cannon fires, I'll grab onto the cannonball and let it carry me up. I won't go inside the shell!"

"Do you understand now?" Sora said to everyone.

"Uh..." Hearing Sora's words, everyone understood. He was basically looking down on their method.

But they really couldn't say anything, given Sora's immense power and noble status.

"Alright!" Ichibe'e agreed to Sora's idea.

Agreeing was one thing… whether he could actually do it was Sora's problem.

If he failed to catch the ride to the Soul King Palace, he shouldn't complain.

"Shiba Clan, please begin!" Ichibe'e looked towards Kukaku.

Subsequently, the group entered a large cannonball and settled into the base of the Flower Crane Cannon.

"Alright!" Kukaku nodded and walked up to the Flower Crane Cannon.
