Only Kiganjo could perfectly embody the phrase 'submissive to the outside world but ruthless to his own'.
Particularly because of Kiganjo's abuse of female division's members, the women of the Seireitei had grown terrified at the mere mention of the 11th Division.
The few female Shinigami originally in the 11th Division had all transferred to other divisions to protect themselves.
For years now, no female Shinigami had joined the 11th Division.
This left many single men in the 11th Division harboring deep resentment toward Kiganjo.
Well, to be fair, even when there were female Shinigami in the 11th Division before, most of the members were still single.
But at the very least, seeing a few beauties during training could lift everyone's spirits-
Now that Kiganjo had been killed by Kyoya, even those who had once supported him quickly changed their stance.
People like them, who had followed a scoundrel like Kiganjo, naturally worshipped strength above all else.
Now that Kyoya had demonstrated power far surpassing Kiganjo's, he naturally gained their allegiance.
As for those who had despised Kiganjo, it went without saying.
No matter how bad Kyoya might be, could he possibly be worse than Kiganjo?
Besides, Kyoya currently appeared to be only thirteen or fourteen years old. Even if he wanted to harm female Shinigami, he lacked the means to do so...
Moreover, Kiganjo's final moments had utterly disappointed the members of the 11th Division.
Not only had he tarnished the title of Kenpachi, but he had also attempted to use Bankai to kill his own subordinates.
How could anyone still feel any attachment to such a captain?
[Ding-]
[Ding-]
[Ding-]
Amid the cheers of the Shinigami, three notification sounds rang out in Kyoya's mind.
'Oh?'
Kyoya was delightedt.
Defeating Kiganjo and becoming the captain of the 11th Division, within the One Piece Achievement System, this would undoubtedly be recognized as defeating a Marine Admiral and attaining the rank of Marine Admiral.
Achievements at the Admiral-level were undoubtedly the highest-level gold-tier achievements.
He had just earned two at once.
Once he fully absorbed the rewards from these two gold-tier achievements, Kyoya would undoubtedly solidify his position among the thirteen Captains of the Gotei 13.
In fact, even if he were to face Zaraki Kenpachi in a future challenge, Kyoya could absolutely defeat him.
This wasn't arrogance on Kyoya's part… Zaraki had sealed his own spiritual pressure to better enjoy battle. Only through repeated defeats and near-death struggles could he gradually unlock it.
As for now...
Kyoya wasn't boasting when he said that even if he couldn't defeat Zaraki, Zaraki wouldn't be able to defeat him either.
And once he fully absorbed the rewards from the two high-level purple-tier achievements and the two high-level gold-tier achievements, not only would he surpass the current Zaraki, but he could even hold his own against Zaraki at his full power!
'Wait-'
Suddenly, Kyoya realized something.
'If I hadn't misheard, there had been three notification sounds.'
This means that after I killed Kiganjo, I obtained three achievements, one more than I expected.'
Suppressing his urge to check the achievements immediately, Kyoya began directing the 11th Division's members to send the injured, those caught in the aftermath of the battle, to the 4th Division for treatment.
"Hmm?"
As he watched the division's members working together, Kyoya was about to focus on his soul to inspect the achievements when he suddenly sensed a powerful Reiatsu approaching rapidly.
Immediately, Kyoya expanded his Observation Haki and quickly identified the incoming presence.
'Such swift and violent Reiatsu... No doubt, it's the Lieutenant of the 1st Division, Sasakibe Chojiro, right?'
Though phrased as a question, Kyoya was certain he wasn't mistaken.
In the One Piece World, the only Devil Fruit that could rival the Pika Pika no Mi in terms of speed was the Goro Goro no Mi.
Moreover, compared to the Pika Pika no Mi, the Goro Goro no Mi's derivative abilities were even more superior.
Lightning also has properties such as violence and paralysis.
Lightning carried properties like ferocity and paralysis, making the Goro Goro no Mi the ultimate Logia-type Devil Fruit… combining speed, offense, and control into one.
In the Bleach World, Sasakibe's Zanpakuto, Gonryomaru, was hailed as the Strongest lightning-type Zanpakuto, holding a status equivalent to the Goro Goro no Mi in One Piece.
When Kyoya was extracting Devil Fruit abilities, he had wondered: If he had drawn the Hie Hie no Mi, could it rival Hyorinmaru?
If he had drawn the Magu Magu no Mi, could he withstand a few moves from Yamamoto?
If he had drawn the Goro Goro no Mi, could he contend for the title of Strongest lightning-type Zanpakuto?
After careful consideration, it seemed that the Hie Hie no Mi and Magu Magu no Mi fell slightly short compared to Hyorinmaru and Ryūjin Jakka.
Only the Goro Goro no Mi, if utilized well, could undoubtedly surpass Gonryomaru.
Fortunately, Kyoya had ultimately drawn the Pika Pika no Mi, making it the newest Strongest light-type Zanpakuto in Soul Society.
Ice and magma weren't particularly extraordinary abilities in the Bleach World.
But light, solely by virtue of its speed, was a top-tier ability in any world.
As for its slightly weaker offensive and defensive capabilities, there were ways to compensate.
Haki was one method.
Reiatsu is another.
As long as Kyoya strengthened his Haki and raised his Reiryoku, infusing them into his light-based abilities would naturally elevate their offensive power by several tiers.
Kyoya wasn't in a hurry about this.
He had plenty of time to improve gradually.
Not to mention, he still had at least two gold-tier and two purple-tier achievements yet to be unlocked.
That unknown-tier achievement probably wouldn't be lower than blue, either.
Whoosh!
A figure instantly appeared behind Kyoya, bowing slightly.
"Captain Kyoya, as you have successfully defeated Former Captain Kiganjo, the Captain-Commander requests your presence at the Captains' Meeting."
"Would you prefer to accompany me to meet the Captain-Commander now, or would you like to go at a later time?"
Looking at the humble Sasakibe, Kyoya sighed inwardly.
'Who would have thought that this seemingly meek old man was actually the wielder of the Strongest lightning-type Zanpakuto, with combat prowess ranking among the top Captains of the Gotei 13?'
There was no denying that Sasakibe's acting skills were exceptional.
If not for the events of the Thousand-Year Blood War, Kyoya would never have known that this 1st Division's Lieutenant, who was sent flying with one punch by Ichigo who had just completed his Bankai training, was actually the same man who, a thousand years ago, had successfully ambushed and stabbed Yhwach, the progenitor of the Quincy, securing the victory for Yamamoto.
Unfortunately, due to a lack of intelligence, Sasakibe was later ambushed by the Quincy, his Bankai stolen, and he was killed right before Yamamoto's eyes.
Otherwise, with his strength, Sasakibe could have held his own against most of the Sternritter, if not the Schutzstaffel empowered by Auswählen.
