Chapter 8: Aren't Laws and Regulations Meant to be Changed
"Suddenly, an unexpected turn of events left the members of the 11th Division bewildered.
These arrogant individuals were completely caught off guard by the unfolding situation.
"What a joke! Just a few harsh words and we're being taken away?"
"That's right, Captain, we were just joking around..."
"Even though you're the Captain of the 9th Division, shouldn't you abide by the rules whenever you're arresting people?"
After witnessing how miserable Ikkaku Madarame was, those Soul Reapors showed a bit more respect in their tone.
However, in this situation, even resistance seemed somewhat feeble.
With a lowered gaze, Tokikaze calmly inquired, "Is there no punishment for such a violation, Toshimura Todo?"
At this moment, the excited Toshimura Todo showed no trace of fear.
Contrary to his usual self, he straightforwardly said, "Reporting to Captain, there are consequences against violating the rules, but mere words shouldn't be enough to be arrested."
Tokikaze nodded thoughtfully, "In that case..."
Upon hearing this, the members of the 11th Division sighed in relief.
Being locked up in a prison was not a pleasant experience.
"Starting today, the regulations will change according to my instructions."
Tokikaze pointed towards the 11th Division Soul Reapers, "Take them all away in custody."
Upon hearing this, everyone present had a puzzled expression.
Changing regulations as he pleased?!
Was the Captain of the 9th Division planning a rebellion?!
Even Toshimura Todo, reminded Tokikaze, "Captain, modifications to the regulations need to be reported to the Central 46."
Tokikaze disdainfully replied, "By the time those old fogeys approve it, Azashiro Kenpachi would have served his sentence aalready."
As the heir to the Tsunayashiro Clan, Tokikaze had little regard for the Central 46.
Moreover, Tokikaze had nothing but disgust for those old fogeys.
"Cough, cough!"
Toshimura Todo almost choked when he heard it.
Although he had already witnessed his Captain's audacious remarks, hearing it so blatantly was somewhat hard to process.
Even the former Captain, Muguruma Kensei, seemed like a well-behaved child in comparison.
"We, we..."
The people Tokikaze pointed at stammered. They didn't want to be arrested, but when Tokikaze looked at them, a bone-chilling sensation instantly enveloped them.
A chill ran through their entire bodies, from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.
"You all..."
Tokikaze's expression remained calm, "Want to try resisting arrest as well?"
In an instant, the tough-looking members of the 11th Division subconsciously raised their hands above their heads, shaking them repeatedly.
"No, absolutely not."
"No matter what orders the Captain gives, we will cooperate."
"That's right, that's right!"
Toshimura Todo seemed surprised when he saw the rebellious 11th Division members being so obedient.
Indeed, for dealing with these unruly individuals, the Captain's way of doing things was more effective!
Before long, he confidently walked forward, using Bakudo to tie up the hands of the people Tokikaze pointed at. Additionally, he slung the unconscious Ikkaku Madarame over his shoulder.
"Captain!"
In Toshimura Todo's expression, there was a hint of flattery.
Compared to working under Muguruma Kensei, Tokikaze's style undoubtedly made him more excited.
"Take them back to the prison!"
Tokikaze ordered, "Also, record the entire process of this mission and make sure to send a copy to the First Division."
"Understood!"
With this mission concluded, Toshimura Todo's loyalty had soared to an extremely high value even though it was pointless for Tokikaze.
...
First Division Barracks.
Captain's office.
A simple and elegant room was filled with the fragrance of tea wafting through the air. On one side of the wall, several bamboo swords were hung, while on the other side, calligraphy and paintings contributed to the artistic atmosphere of the office.
Yamamoto Genryusai sat in front of the desk, sorting out today's paperwork. As the sliding door on the left side opened, a figure immediately entered the office. It was the Vice-Captain of the First Division, Chojiro Sasakibe, who seemed panicked for some reason.
"Lord Genryusai, the 9th Division has sent the records for today."
"Is it the detailed process of Captain Tokikaze restructuring the 9th Division?"
Yamamoto Genryusai remained composed and indifferently said, "Just set it aside for now; I'll read it later."
Upon hearing this, Chojiro Sasakibe hesitated for a moment and then said reluctantly, "You may want to read it now."
"On the first day of his duty as 9th Division Captain, Tokikaze went to the 11th Division barracks and arrested seventeen Soul Reapers, including the Third Seat Ikkaku Madarame."
"The situation has developed somewhat beyond control."
Yamamoto Genryusai's right hand, which was writing, suddenly paused, and his once smooth handwriting also stumbled along the way. He took the paper handed to him by Chojiro Sasakibe and read it with a serious expression.
As the descriptions in the document unfold, Yamamoto Genryusai's slightly narrowed eyes gradually widened. After a moment, he took a deep breath and said:
"This guy..."
"He really injected new vitality into this stagnant water."
Then, Yamamoto Genryusai looked at Chojiro Sasakibe and instructs, "Don't bother with him."
"As long as he doesn't violate the rules of the Soul Society, handle everything as usual."
"Also, inform the Third Seat Tsujimaro Oiwamemon, Captain Haneori's robe needs to be expedited."
Chojiro Sasakibe lowered his head respectfully and says, "Yes, Lord Genryusai!"
The assessment battle had just concluded, and although Tokikaze had been acknowledged as a Captain, the inauguration ceremony was still in preparation. This was mainly because it took some time to sew a Captain's Haori.
The seemingly ordinary Haori was actually more valuable than Kuchiki Clan's scarf!
...
District 1 North Rukongai, Junrinan.
On the most bustling flower street.
As the safest district in Rukongai, this place was frequented by Soul Reapers and even nobles throughout the year. This has led to the rise of the flower street.
Tokikaze had provided considerable financial support for its development.
After resolving the affairs of the 11th Division, Tokikaze did not return to the 9th Division barracks but instead walked into the flower street.
Fushengran.
The largest pub on the flower street.
On top of having a lot of beautiful geishas, the drinks were pretty good as well. Tokikaze walked in, ignoring the invitations from the geishas, and headed straight for the central long platform.
At this moment, his eyes were fixed on a figure...
The graceful figure with short orange hair.
