Soul Society, Grand Pharmacy.
Xia Li, who returned to Soul Society, did not go to greet anyone familiar. After all, he would not be able to stay in Soul Society for long before leaving, so there was no need to do these things.
At this time, Xia Li came to the pharmacy to find Yamada Seinosuke, the former vice-captain of the Fourth Division.
Soon, a man dressed in white attire, surrounded by gold rims representing nobility, and wearing a white coat and hat came to Xia Li.
"Are you my successor who destroyed the 11th Division team building and was punished by Central Room 46 to guard the present world?" Yamada Seinosuke immediately mocked Xia Li when he saw him.
"Originally, I thought that letting you take over my position would help Captain Unohana, but I didn't expect you to be like this."
"I heard from the members of the fourth team before that you speak without thinking at all. When I saw you today, it was indeed the case." Xia Li glanced at Yamada Seinosuke and said directly.
"Besides, I still think the captain is very happy to have me as the vice-captain. After all, I can provide her with something that no one else can do, right? Former vice-captain Yamada?"
"You..." Yamada Seinosuke did not refute. After all, he also knew Unohana's true hobby. This fact, since Xia Li said this, proved that he had satisfied Unohana's hobby.
And Yamada Seinosuke also knows that he will never be able to satisfy Unohana in his life, because his ability is not good at all in terms of combat effectiveness.
"Tell me, why did you come to see me today?" Yamada Seinosuke sighed and said a little frustrated.
"I want to ask you about the captain." Xia Li said.
"Huh? Are you attracted to the captain? I can tell you that it's not possible to learn about the captain's other hobbies from me!" Yamada Seinosuke frowned.
"No..." Xia Li was a little speechless, and then looked at Yamada Seinosuke thoughtfully. There seemed to be something wrong with Yamada Seinosuke's feelings for Unohana.
"What is that?"
Xia Li told Yamada Seinosuke his thoughts. Every time he asked Unohana to fight Zaraki Kenpachi, the other party's expression was a little strange, as if there was something unspeakable.
After listening to Xia Li's description, Yamada Seinosuke fell into a long silence.
"So, you don't know what's going on here?" Xia Li frowned. Among the people he could think of who knew Unohana, only Yamada Seinosuke could tell him.
The other person was the captain, but Xia Li didn't want to ask the captain.
"I know, of course I know, I'm just wondering whether to tell you or not." Yamada Seinosuke said.
"Is it really an unspeakable secret?" Xia Li asked.
"Ah, this may be a decision made by Captain Unohana after careful consideration..."
Yamada Seinosuke was a little hesitant. After all, it was Unohana's decision. Does he have the right to interfere in such a thing?
However, if there is no interference, Unohana may die.
Yamada Seinosuke couldn't interfere before because he didn't have the power to interfere, but the person in front of him did not lack the power to interfere...
Compared with the thoughts of the captain he respected, Yamada Seinosuke did not want to see the other party really die because of that incident.
Finally, Yamada Seinosuke said, "Do you know the story of Captain Unohana and Captain Zaraki?"
Xia Li nodded.
Yamada Seinosuke was startled, then smiled bitterly and said, "Captain Unohana even told you this. It seems that she was really happy fighting with you."
Knowing this, Yamada Seinosuke also showed a pleased expression. At that time, he thought that Xia Li was very suitable for the position of deputy captain of the Fourth Division because of this.
Now it seems that although Xia Li was punished to die because of those bad things, at least his original idea came true.
Xia Li also nodded, thinking of the sword skills that Maozhihua would almost never repeat.
"Did you know that Captain Unohana used to call himself Unohana Eight-Thousand-ryu?" Yamada Seinosuke asked with familiarity.
Xia Li was startled, he really didn't know this.
After seeing that Xia Li finally didn't know, Yamada Seinosuke showed a victorious expression. He thought he had been following Uzhihua for thousands of years, but in the end he didn't know as much as Xia Li, so he would be embarrassed.
"However, the name of Baqianliu suits her quite well." Xia Li nodded at this moment and said.
"I think so too. It's a pity that Captain Unohana gave up this name after being defeated by Captain Zaraki." Yamada Seinosuke said after sighing.
Xia Li nodded, probably understanding what Mao Zhihua was thinking. She felt that she was not worthy of the name.
But besides her, is there anyone else in this world who really deserves the name of Yachiru?
Yachiru Kusuka next to Kenpachi Zaraki?
"After all that, you haven't told me why the captain cares so much about fighting Zaraki Kenpachi?" Xia Li asked.
"Because Captain Unohana plans to use his own life to help Zaraki Kenpachi open the seal at the right time!" Yamada Seinosuke no longer concealed anything and said directly.
Suddenly, Xia Li was stunned. He did not expect Mao Zhihua to have such thoughts.
"So, can I ask you to stop Captain Unohana?!" Yamada Seinosuke stared at Xia Li with blood-red eyes.
Xia Li was silent for a while, then smiled bitterly and said, "The captain's heart is really deep."
Yamada Seinosuke also nodded silently. In order to untie this knot, he would sacrifice his own life, which he personally could not understand.
He chose respect before, but now he wants Xia Li to stop Mao Zhihua.
"This matter... probably cannot be stopped." Xia Li said, "This is Captain Uzhihua's own will. Even if it is stopped, she will feel pain for it throughout her life."
"I know, that's what I thought before, but after you came here, I thought you might be able to help Captain Unohana..." Yamada Seinosuke said with a painful expression at this time.
"How to help? Kill Zaraki Kenpachi in advance? Then don't think about untying the knot in Captain Unohana's heart." Xia Li also smiled bitterly, "So I can only think about how to make Zaraki Kenpachi was able to regain his previous strength on his own.”
Yamada Seinosuke nodded in agreement, but he couldn't think of any way. Unohana had been studying it for thousands of years, but he couldn't find a way, let alone him.
Xia Li didn't say that he actually discovered the possibility of Zaraki Kenpachi becoming stronger, but...
How long will it take for Zaraki Kenpachi to return to his previous intensity through fighting?
At this time, Xia Li suddenly thought of the swastika of Maozhihua and the effect of that swastika, and his eyes suddenly shrank.
Then Xia Li gave a wry smile, so it turns out that Unohana's swastika is specially used to help Zaraki Kenpachi break the seal?
Is it true that the depth of this obsession directly changed her Zanpakutō?
Unohana was able to rely on her swastika to push Kenpachi Zaraki into desperation again and again, and then heal him again and again, finally allowing Kenpachi Zaraki to regain his strength.
And the best way to prove that Kenpachi Zaraki has regained his power is for Kenpachi Zaraki to break through Unohana's power and directly give Unohana a fatal blow, right?
Although Xia Li had figured everything out, it was hard to say anything.
This was indeed Uzhihua's decision. In order to untie the knot that had lasted for thousands of years, no one forced her. So, what to do?
It seems that if you want to help Unohana, you can only find a way from Zaraki Kenpachi.
After Xia Li thought for a while, there was still only this way.
But how can we make Unohana think that Zaraki Kenpachi has found his power?
It seems that only Zaraki Kenpachi can easily defeat Unohana again...
The question is, with the current Zaraki Kenpachi, how can he easily defeat Unohana?
Xia Li had a headache. He had fought against both Unohana and Zaraki Kenpachi, although Zaraki Kenpachi really left a deep impression on him, especially his monster-like body.
But in terms of combat power, it is impossible for Zaraki Kenpachi to be able to match Unohana no matter what.
The way to make Zaraki Kenpachi stronger is to continuously beat Zaraki Kenpachi to the point of death, which Xia Li thought Unohana could easily accomplish.
But now, Xia Li is a little worried that one day, after seeing Zaraki Kenpachi regaining his strength, Uzhihua feels that he has no regrets in this life, and then sends himself in...
"It gives me a bit of a headache." Xia Li still has a good sense of Mao Zhihua.
Not only is he gentle, but he can also fight with him. His swordsmanship strength is also what Xia Li needs. Over time, Xia Li really doesn't want to see Mao Zhihua lose her life because of this.
"That's all I can tell you. It's up to you whether you can stop Captain Unohana." Yamada Seinosuke finally said.
"Well, thank you for the news." Xia Li also nodded, then stood up and left.
Yamada Seinosuke looked at Xia Li's leaving figure and shook his head after a long time, with an expression of helplessness and hope on his face.
…………
Division Four.
"What are you thinking about?" Mao Zhihua looked at Xia Li beside her. He had been thinking about something since he came back from outside, which made her a little curious.
What on earth could make Xia Li so embarrassed?
"Captain, are you really going to sacrifice yourself to lift Kenpachi Zaraki's seal?" Xia Li asked directly after thinking about it.
Unohana was startled, then suddenly realized, and said, "You must have gone to see Yamada Seinosuke, right?"
"Yes, after all, he has been following you for the longest time. If I have any questions, I will naturally go to him." Xia Li replied.
"Is this the reason why you are willing to return to Soul Society?" Unohana suddenly realized something and asked.
"So that's it." Xia Li nodded.
"I'm really flattered." Uozhihua said with a smile, "I thought you really didn't care about anything."
"For now, I am also a human being, not a virtual one." Xia Li rolled her eyes at Mao Zhihua.
"So, you should be able to understand my choice, right?" Maozhihua asked.
"I can understand, but I don't agree." Xia Li frowned.
"Sealing his power was Zaraki Kenpachi's own choice, and the reason he couldn't recover it was because he was too weak. You don't need to take the blame on yourself for this."
Uozhihua smiled and shook her head without replying.
Xia Li was also a little helpless and asked, "Captain, how do you think Zaraki Kenpachi has regained his strength?"
Unohana was silent for a while and then asked, "Are you going to try to restore Zaraki Kenpachi's strength?"
"It won't happen if you try it, but what if it happens?" Xia Li said casually.
Unohana didn't reply. She actually didn't know how powerful Zaraki Kenpachi really was. After all, a thousand years ago, she never forced the opponent to use his full strength.
Seeing the confusion on Mao Zhihua's face, Xia Li walked up to Mao Zhihua, stretched out her hand to break the flower arrangement in front of Mao Zhihua, and said, "It seems you don't know either."
Maozhihua looked at the broken flowers and was silent at this time.
"What a troublesome guy." Xia Li was a little helpless. She originally wanted to help Zaraki Kenpachi solve the swastika. After all, he was the only captain among the current Gotei Thirteen who couldn't solve the swastika.
But now it seems that in order to solve this matter, it is not only necessary for Zaraki Kenpachi to regain his power, but also to make Unohana recognize that Zaraki Kenpachi has regained his previous power.
This is the biggest trouble.
"Actually, you don't need to help me." Maozhihua said at this time.
"I want to help, can't I?" Xia Li said casually. In the second half of his life, he could basically do whatever he wanted, and no one could restrain him yet.
Do whatever you want, that's what Xia Li lives for.
Mao Zhihua was speechless for a moment, and felt that Xia Li was a bit overbearing, and even she, the person being helped, could not choose to refuse.
At this moment, Xia Li also stood up and walked outside.
"Where are you going?" Mao Zhihua was surprised.
"I can't think of a solution just sitting here, so I went to Team 11 to have a look." Xia Li replied.
"Don't destroy the team building of the 11th Division this time." Mao Zhihua said a little helplessly, she knew she couldn't stop Xia Li.
"Yes." Xia Li nodded. Now that he has the qualifications to go to Wujian, he will take Zaraki Kenpachi there to fight even if it is a battle.
Soon, Xia Li arrived at the gate of Squad 11.
When the Death Gods of Squad 11 saw Xia Li, they were all shocked, and then asked respectfully, "What are you doing here?"
No one in Squad 11 would blame Xia Li. This squad was actually very pure, fighting and following strength.
Xia Li performed better than them all, so Xia Li did the right thing, and it was impossible for them to blame each other for the destruction of the team building.
"I'm looking for Zaraki Kenpachi." Xia Li said directly.
"Captain Zaraki is inside, but can you please stop fighting with Captain Zaraki here?" The God of Death said with a bitter smile. Although he didn't blame the other party, he didn't want to see the captain being punished again.
"Don't worry, the buildings will not be destroyed in this battlefield." Xia Li looked at the God of Death in front of him and said.
"Okay."
Suddenly, Death breathed a sigh of relief. (End of chapter)
