Drift Of The Multiverse: [Marvel] [Resident Evil] [DC] [Bleach] [DB] Chapter 874 - 875: Is the Style of the Second Division Going

To recruit Ichimaru Gin, he first needed to know where Gin was.

Ethan realized he had no idea where Gin was. He only knew that at this ti, Gin was living in a very remote and impoverished area of Rukongai. The situation in Rukongai was not good outside the first few districts, especially for young children, where living conditions were extrely harsh.

So where exactly was Gin now? Ethan did not know, and he had no way to start looking for him. However, when Gin later appeared in the Seireitei, he imdiately displayed his genius talent, making him easy to notice. But by then, Gin had already set his life’s goal, to avenge Rangiku. That ant it would be impossible to recruit him.

"It seems this guy can’t be recruited either."

With a sigh, Ethan stopped thinking about it and focused on the matter at hand.

It took him a full week to clear the backlog of work. He also thoroughly sorted out the current situation of the 10th Division, and the appointnt of Lieutenant Shiba Isshin was officially announced. In any case, the reconstruction of the 10th Division was finally on track.

With so rare free ti, Ethan was too lazy to wander around. He sat outside his lounge, drinking tea and spacing out, and felt quite content.

"Yo, you’re pretty leisurely. I thought you’d be so busy you wouldn’t even have ti to rest."

Yoruichi, relying on her speed and stealth, would brazenly enter anywhere she pleased. Doors ant nothing to her.

"If you had co two days earlier, you would have seen running around in circles."

"Hahaha, actually, you could let your subordinates handle those things. As a captain, you only need to review important matters and make decisions."

Ethan nodded and looked at Yoruichi sincerely.

"You’re right. So who should I assign these tasks to?"

The 10th Division did not even have seated officers now. The only one had already beco the lieutenant. The work that should have been distributed among various unit leaders was piled onto the two of them. It would be strange if they were not tired.

Fortunately, the 10th Division’s daily operations were currently suspended. Under normal circumstances, the workload would have been several tis greater.

"It’ll get better after this period."

Everyone knew the situation of the 10th Division, and Yoruichi certainly knew Ethan had no capable subordinates under him. Her words were simply ant to tease him.

"What do you need for?"

"You’ve been so busy these past few days that you haven’t left the barracks, right?"

"Of course."

Yoruichi was not surprised. She simply told Ethan what had happened over the past few days.

Life in the Seireitei generally moved at a slow pace. Shinigami with long lifespans only showed tension during battles. Most of the ti, they lived peaceful, slightly monotonous, and leisurely lives.

After the Gotei 13 was established, Soul Society beca even more stable. Often, centuries would pass without any significant changes in the Seireitei. In such an environnt, changes in captain positions were already considered major events.

Everyone thought that after filling the vacant captain positions, things would return to their usual calm routine. Unexpectedly, the new Captain of the 12th Division, Urahara Kisuke, imdiately introduced sothing new.

The Departnt of Research and Developnt.

Kisuke served as the first director and personally recruited a peculiar individual into the 12th Division, appointing him as the 3rd Seat and concurrently the deputy director of the Departnt of Research and Developnt.

Many people were curious about where this person ca from, but Yoruichi, Captain of the 2nd Division, knew that he had originally been imprisoned in the Maggot’s Nest and was the only person locked there.

This alone proved he was extrely dangerous, and Ethan, who knew the plot, also knew that he was indeed dangerous.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri, the future Captain of the 12th Division and second director of the Departnt of Research and Developnt, was soone who created many strange and bizarre inventions.

That was not the main point. The main point was that many of his creations were extrely dangerous. If you beca his enemy, you might fall into one of his traps without even knowing how you died.

"That’s good too. Kisuke can finally do whatever he wants."

Research and developnt was Kisuke’s favorite activity. Now he could not only conduct research freely but also do so legitimately while mobilizing resources within the Seireitei. It was far more satisfying than working secretly in his small private workshop.

"Yeah, and he already has new results after just a few days. I ca today to ask you to take a look."

"New results?" Ethan looked surprised. "What is it?"

"You’ll know when you see it."

He greeted Isshin and told him to rest well. The backlog of work and various docunts of the 10th Division had all been sorted out. With no patrol or guard duties for now, the 10th Division would not have any new tasks for a while. Ethan and Isshin could rest for a period before considering how to restore the division’s fighting strength.

This ti, Yoruichi did not use Shunpo. She left the 10th Division barracks through the main gate with Ethan and strolled slowly along the streets of the Seireitei.

"I recall you rarely wander the streets like this."

"I’m usually either at the 4th Division barracks or at that place." The underground secret base Kisuke had dug out was where Ethan stayed most often besides the 4th Division.

"You don’t hide away doing research like Kisuke. I’m curious what you do staying in the barracks all the ti."

"Training." Ethan thought for a mont. Aside from handling work, he mostly trained. Otherwise, how could his spiritual pressure keep increasing?

Ever since coming to this world, he realized he had to train diligently to ensure continuous growth in his spiritual pressure. If he did nothing, even with his strong potential, his spiritual power would not naturally increase like that of other geniuses.

"You’re actually that diligent?"

Ethan always gave the impression of being unmotivated, which was misleading. Many people believed he had reached his current level purely through extraordinary talent rather than hard work.

Even Yoruichi sotis had that thought, although they often trained together.

"I’ve always been diligent, alright?"

"It doesn’t look like it."

While chatting casually, Ethan noticed a familiar figure ahead.

"Isn’t that Captain Kyoraku? Is he out for a stroll?"

Seeing Kyoraku Shunsui carrying newly bought sake and snacks, it was clear he had slipped out to find a place to relax.

"Oh my, isn’t this Ethan and Yoruichi? On a date?"

"No, we’re going to the 12th Division. We heard Kisuke has been working on sothing."

"Ah, is that so?" Shunsui looked at Ethan, who denied it so quickly, and lightly adjusted his straw hat. "But Ethan, you denied it a bit too fast."

"..."

To ease the awkwardness, Ethan invited him.

"Want to co and take a look?"

"I don’t have anything else to do, so I’ll join you. I’m quite curious about this newly established Departnt of Research and Developnt."

As the intelligence division, part of the 8th Division’s responsibility was to monitor the situation of each division within the Gotei 13. Even if Ethan had not invited him, Shunsui would have found ti to visit the 12th Division.

The three captains arrived at the 12th Division together. When three captains stood at the entrance at the sa ti, especially from the 2nd Division, the 8th Division, and the 10th Division, ordinary Shinigami naturally assud sothing major had happened. Were they there to arrest soone?

Fortunately, Kisuke ca out imdiately after receiving the news. With laughter and conversation, he welcod them into the 12th Division barracks, quickly ending the speculation among the division mbers. If he had been any slower, rumors would have spread everywhere.

"Captain Kyoraku ca as well."

"I t him on the way. I heard Captain Urahara has developed sothing new, so I ca to take a look."

Kisuke naturally knew Shunsui’s real purpose as Captain of the 8th Division. However, both were smart enough to leave certain things unsaid.

Coming with Yoruichi and Ethan under the pretense of curiosity was a way of giving Kisuke face.

"This was originally an idea Ethan proposed, but we did not have enough resources for experints at the ti, so the finished product was only made recently."

"Hmm?" Ethan glanced at Kisuke. He had casually ntioned too many ideas before and could not imdiately recall which one it was. "What is it?"

"Battle clothing that allows more convenient movent and offers a certain level of defense."

"Oh, that."

Ethan rembered. It was related to Yoruichi. Since her fighting style focused on Shunpo and Hakuda, she found the loose Shinigami uniform inconvenient in combat. She preferred form-fitting clothing during training, so Ethan had suggested she choose tight-fitting, highly elastic clothes.

Yoruichi did not lack such clothing, but they would often get torn by Ethan. So she asked Kisuke to create more durable versions.

It sounded simple, but it was sowhat troubleso to produce. Combined with Kisuke’s many other projects, the finished product was only completed recently.

"If the results are good, it can be promoted throughout the entire 2nd Division."

Kisuke looked very satisfied with his work. Ethan examined the tight-fitting outfits in front of him and thought that if they were paired with extrely elastic torso armor and a single-lens scouter, the 2nd Division might as well be renad the Ginyu Force.
