However, for Sora, Aizen was the main antagonist. By removing Kyoka Suigetsu, the ability Aizen relied on most heavily in the early stages, it was like pulling a fang from a beast. Even though Aizen was still strong without it, there was no denying he wouldn't be as powerful as before!
But for the Soul Society, the situation was completely different!
All they knew was that Sora had severely injured Aizen, a model Captain known for his excellent character and reputation throughout the Soul Society.
Furthermore, he had detained Unohana, a healer who had dedicated a millennium to treating the sick and wounded, saving countless lives.
Instantly, the entire Soul Society was consumed with rage!
If Sora had killed the invincible Captain-Commander, the Soul Society would be angry, but more so terrified… after all, their invincible pillar would have fallen.
They would have to consider if they could even retaliate.
But now, he had captured Captain Unohana and was forcing her to be his attendant?
Hmph, did he think they were pushovers just because they hadn't shown their teeth?
Moreover, Captain-Commander Yamamoto was still alive!
As long as Yamamoto was there, the Soul Society had the confidence to face anything!
"Captain-Commander, give the order!" Sui-Feng stepped forward decisively.
As Captain of the 2nd Division, she shouldn't have been the first to speak, but she couldn't wait any longer!
After all, Unohana was also the president of the Shinigami Women's Association.
Yes, some might say the president was Yachiru, not Unohana. But anyone familiar with the situation knew Yachiru's role was more of a game for a child. Could that really count?
Thus, among the female Shinigami, Unohana was immensely popular.
Now, Sui-Feng represented not only herself but also Matsumoto Rangiku, Ise Nanao, Hinamori Momo, and many others!
However, while Sui-Feng wanted to rescue Unohana immediately, others had different views!
"Please calm down, Captain Sui-Feng. Cough, cough, cough, cough!" Ukitake Jushiro coughed as he spoke: "We are all furious about Captain Unohana's situation!"
"But the issue is, we need to carefully consider the strength and attitude of that person, as well as Captain Unohana's safety!"
"After all..." Ukitake didn't finish his sentence.
But his close friend, Kyoraku Shunsui, finished for him: "After all, what if we lose?"
"You!!?" Hearing their words, Sui-Feng was furious: "How will you know if you don't try?"
"Since when have the Captains of the Seireitei become so afraid to fight!"
"Indeed!" Hearing Sui-Feng, Komamura Sajin beside her rumbled in agreement.
For him, who valued loyalty above all, Unohana had to be rescued!
For a moment, the hawkish faction led by Sui-Feng and Komamura stood in stark contrast to the dovish faction formed by Ukitake and Kyoraku.
But alongside hawks and doves, there was also a peace faction.
"I suggest you carefully consider the opponent's strength."
"If any of you are confident in winning, why not try fighting me first?"
Zaraki addressed everyone.
"After all, wasn't it your poor decisions that led to Unohana being detained?"
"Furthermore, his demand is clear: compensation!"
Seeing the shocked expressions, Zaraki was blunt: "So, simply put, pay the compensation!"
"I believe that would be a wise course of action!" Hearing Zaraki's words, Byakuya and even Gin voiced their agreement.
Upon hearing this, Byakuya and Gin exchanged surprised glances, surprised to find their thoughts aligned.
In fact, this was natural.
For Gin, Sora was something of a benefactor. Now, with Enrakyoten in hand and Aizen severely injured, it was the perfect time for him to act.
For Byakuya, he had witnessed Sora's power firsthand, and they had already interacted. Through Rukia, he was quite familiar with Sora.
Thus, Byakuya wanted to avoid conflict.
Of course, even with their statements, there were still opponents!
"Ridiculous!" Tosen Kaname stepped forward. His instincts told him Gin was up to something.
So, with Aizen injured and lacking a clear leader, Tosen decisively supported his friend's stance!
"We are all Captains, graduates of the Shin'o Academy!"
"Did the Captain-Commander's teachings over the years only result in us learning to surrender?"
Tosen's words were extremely pointed!
"Tosen!" Komamura was thrilled to hear his friend support him.
It seemed the hawkish and peace factions were about to clash directly, tensions running high.
Ukitake and Kyoraku exchanged helpless glances. This kind of conflict was partly what they had hoped to prevent!
And as if the situation wasn't chaotic enough, Kurotsuchi Mayuri chimed in.
His opening words were predictably sarcastic.
