When Ruri Chiyo asked, Yamamoto didn't answer for a moment - the Gotei 13 was established by him thousands of years ago. Although the nobles have had a strong influence in some divisions for thousands of years, he is the captain of every one. He only took office with his approval, but now...
The Aizen incident has just come out, and all three defecting captains are his subordinates, Yamamoto!
Especially since none of them are Death Gods related to nobles, they are all from common people.
If Room 46 had not been able to complete the reconstruction so quickly and the aristocracy had been "tearing apart" for a while longer, Yamamoto's situation would have been better. (Note 1)
But now among the nobility, the redistribution of interests has been achieved with unexpected efficiency...
Seeing that Captain Yamamoto did not speak, Nayura said: "The three captains who defected are the third team in charge of 'support', the fifth team in charge of 'rescue', and the one in charge of 'prison' Division 9, right?"
"Yes, the mastermind is the captain of the fifth division." Yamamoto replied.
"As a result, the support and rescue responsibilities are now vacant... Isn't this great?" Tsunayashiro Murao mocked.
"With the current structure of the Gotei 13, the vice-captains of each division are still on duty, which is enough to maintain the operation of basic responsibilities." Yamamoto still replied calmly.
Although Yamamoto is very passive now and cannot directly exercise his right to speak, in his heart, he does not want to allow noble Sailors to join the Thirteenth Team at this moment, otherwise... the hidden dangers will be even greater in the future!
When Ichiryu heard what Yamamoto said, he naturally supported him: "Yes, Captain Ukitake often complains of illness. His duties within the team are all performed by Ohmaeda Kichiyo, and nothing has happened to him in so many years."
Ukitake:......
"Are you kidding me? Now that things have happened, do you still want to say that you can trust the three vice-captains whose suspicions have not been cleared?" Murao slapped the table directly.
"Almonds? What kind of almonds? Don't wash almonds. The smell will be bland." The old man of the Yagyu family didn't hear clearly, and Yushiro, who was sitting next to him, hurriedly explained.
"Speaking of which, those vice-captains who defected from the captain had some changes before, right?" Kuchiki Masumi said bluntly at this time - she was not speaking for anyone, she was just stating the facts based on reports from all parties.
Hinamori Momo stabbed Ukitake Jushiro before, Kira Izuru fought with Matsumoto Rangiku when Aizen seriously injured Hitsugaya, Hisagi Shuhei fought with Ayase Yumichika who wanted to interfere with the execution...
Among them, Shuhei's behavior can be regarded as "explanable" - after all, no one knew at the time that the execution was Aizen's order. At this time, it was reasonable to stop the behavior that interfered with the execution... everyone was like this. made!
Just because his captain is the defected Tōsen Kaname, he is more suspicious than others.
And Kira Izuru himself was rescued by Gin Ichimaru when he was in solitary confinement, and later even attacked Rangiku Matsumoto.
What? Did he do this because he believed Ichimaru Gin's words and mistakenly believed that Hitsugaya and Ukitake were behind the scenes?
This excuse is a bit weak.
Not to mention Hinamori Momo...
If she hadn't been seriously injured by Aizen, she should have been imprisoned directly in the [Maggot Lair] now!
"I think they were also deceived. After all, he is their captain. In our Gotei 13 team, the captain and the vice-captain have a very close subordinate relationship. It is understandable that the vice-captain would be hindered by emotions..." Yilong once again spoke up for his comrades.
but……
There are always some petty nobles who feel that what Ichiryu is saying is that there is serious collusion within the Gotei 13, and the superiors and subordinates are deeply bound. This is true between the captain and the captain, and the same is true between the captain and the deputy captain. There is no "fate" at all!
Nayura tapped the table lightly with her fingers at this time, and then said: "In other words, there is a problem with the power mechanism of the Gotei 13 Team now?" Although it seemed small, it felt very big at the moment. experienced.
Chiyo, whose mentality was as young as his appearance, looked at her and curled his lips.
"Judge Awanmen, I think what you said lacks some basis..." Yilong was about to speak at this time.
However, Yamamoto seemed to have finally waited for something at this time. He paused his cane and interrupted: "Wait a moment."
There was some discussion around, and it was obvious that the nobles had some complaints about Yamamoto's behavior of "snapped his cane" in the forty-sixth room, but...
The two sides were still wary of each other at this time. Even Tsunayashiro Murao just frowned and said nothing.
"Captain Yamamoto, do you have any excuse?" Nayura's expression remained unchanged. She didn't care about Yamamoto's attitude, she only cared about "facts" and "results."
"Let's put these things aside for now. I have something very important that I want to confirm." Yamamoto said beyond everyone's expectations.
Before the judges could ask questions, Yamamoto had already turned to look at Shifengyuan Yilong.
"What are the captain's orders?" Yilong immediately asked respectfully.
"Back then... it was Aizen who brought you back from Hueco Mundo's expeditionary force and confirmed your Shifengin bloodline, right?" Yamamoto opened his eyes a little at this time.
"That's right." Yilong nodded.
At this time, Ichiryu didn't need to speak. Ruri Chiyo, who was sitting in the judge's seat, had already rushed to say: "Ah! By the way, I remember from the information I compiled before, Yilong... ahem, Si Feng from the supervisory force The captain of the Academy reported suspicious aspects of Aizen many times, and even impeached Sosuke Aizen. However, every time, the Gotei 13 stopped these reports and impeachments, and several captains also reported to Aizen. Have you testified?"
That's right, not just this time...
Ichiryu usually speaks ill of Aizen, everyone knows this!
It's just...Taking a closer look, every time Yilong finds trouble with Aizen, it's all "out of thin air". It's no wonder that the other captains side with Aizen.
Ruri Chiyo's meaning is also very obvious - can you, the Gotei 13, still say that Ichiryu, who has always disliked Aizen before, is his accomplice, and those of you who have spoken for Aizen before are good people?
"So...are you really from the Shifengyuan clan?" Yamamoto looked at Yilong questioningly.
But just then...
Yushiro, who was originally sitting in the judge's seat and had no sense of presence, more like taking care of Yagyu Muneyan, immediately jumped into the case!
"Yuanliuzhai! Please be careful what you say. Brother Yilong is now the family governor of our Sifengyuan clan! There is no doubt about this!"

Note 1: In the official novel, the trial of Hisagi Shuhei and Kira Izuru took place after Aizen was imprisoned in [Muma] (Hinamori Momo was recuperating because she was stabbed again during the decisive battle). It can basically be considered that Room 46 in the original work had a long "gap period" during this period.
