The fact that Mazuru returned to Hueco Mundo did not cause much disturbance. For the arrancars, it was nothing more than another big man above their heads, although they were a little bit aggrieved by the fact that another shinigami dared to overpower them.
But this kind of dissatisfaction could only be suppressed in their hearts at best.
There was no other way, even in the Espadas, except the Cero (0) Espada, Beelzebub who didn't like Mazuru and liked to provoke him, the Primera (1st) Espada, Starrk always had a humble attitude towards Mazuru, and Segunda (2nd), Baraggan, although visibly doesn't like Mazuru, but in front of him, he still had to put away this dissatisfaction.
Moreover, the Tres (3rd) Espada, Nelliel, and the Cuatro (4th) Espada, Harribel, were Mazuru's subordinates.
The Quinto (5th) Espada, Ulquiorra had always been at Aizen's call.
Although the Espada behind each had their own thoughts, the foremost ones all had showed their own attitudes, and the attitudes of the behind ones were not so important.
Sojiro learned all of this from Maki.
Maki was originally a shinigami of the Eleventh Division. Because his idol, Kenpachi Kiganjo was killed by Zaraki, he rebelled against the Soul Society and joined the Bounts, trying to use their power to take revenge on Zaraki.
But then Mazuru took over the Bount group, and he too eventually followed Bount to Hueco Mundo.
Although Sojiro disguised himself well, he couldn't change the nature of his reiatsu, so after he came to Las Noches, almost everyone found out that he was a shinigami.
But because he came to Las Noches with Mazuru, no one cared about it.
And because he took the initiative to stand beside Maki and the others, Maki didn't mind telling him more about their situation.
After all, the Bount group was weak, and there was not much they could do after coming to Las Noches.
For a long time, their situation in Las Noches was actually quite embarrassing.
If he could win Sojiro as his ally and deepen the relationship with Mazuru, this embarrassing situation might be alleviated.
Even if they didn't know Mazuru's real status when he took Bount in the first place, then after they arrived in Hueco Mundo, it was not for nothing that they stayed in Hueco Mundo all this time, at least they had figured out Mazuru's real identity and status in Hueco Mundo.
He was a senior partner of Aizen. Although he did not come to Hueco Mundo with Aizen during their defection, he had a very high status in the Las Noches.
"Speaking of which, I used to be a shinigami of the Eleventh Division, which division are you from?"
After talking about Mazuru, Maki also asked Sojiro about him.
This was just a common gossip, but it hurt Sojiro deeply.
Strictly speaking, he was not officially a shinigami, although he possessed the abilities of a proper shinigami and had even mastered his Zanpakuto, but he was just about to graduate and hadn't entered Gotei 13 yet, when because of his Zanpakuto's awakening, he had to fight against Toshiro.
So, under the puzzled eyes of Maki, Sojiro who was asking him about Mazuru one moment ago, suddenly changed his attitude and left from there in the next moment.
Maki couldn't help but being taken aback.
Sojiro regretted it a little after he left Maki, because the Las Noches was too big, and each of the Espadas had their own palace and territory. He was not familiar with the place, and he left Maki without knowing at all about where to go.
It seemed that someone had gained insight into Sojiro's plight, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
The figure had red hair and red eyes.
Sojiro immediately recognized the other party, the Cero (0) Espada, Beelzebub!
…
Mazuru first went to his own palace in Las Noches, walked around in it while inspecting it, it was completely empty, there was nothing to see, so he then he went to another place.
(T.L Note: If there was nothing to see, why mention it?)
The residence of Inoue Orihime.
After Orihime was brought to Hueco Mundo by Ulquiorra, she stayed in the Las Noches. Apart from the restriction on her movement, she enjoyed something like a VIP treatment and even lived in a special room.
When Mazuru came there, he saw that Ulquiorra was standing at guard there.
"Greetings, Mazuru-sama."
Ulquiorra saluted Mazuru with a neutral attitude.
Looking at the attitude, Mazuru was a little sad and disappointed his heart, but there was nothing he could do, who made it that Ulquiorra was not found by him…
After he found Starrk and brought him to the Las Noches, Aizen immediately knew the existence of a miracle such as an autonomous arrancar.
Starrk seemed to be the only one, but Hueco Mundo was huge, and who could say for sure that whether there was a second autonomous arrancar.
Then, under Mazuru's intentional search and Aizen's random search, he didn't know whether Aizen was lucky or not.
In the end, he met Ulquiorra first.
Although Ulquiorra was only a half-arrancar autonomously, it could be regarded as completing most of the arrancarization process autonomously instead of completing arrancarization with the help of Hōgyoku.
After that, Aizen easily subdued Ulquiorra with his personal charm, took him to Las Noches, and then helped him complete the remaining half of the arrancarization process with the Hōgyoku.
Since Nelliel was not expelled from the Las Noches, she occupied the position of the Tres (3rd) Espada, Harribel had occupied the Cuatro (4th) Espada, and so Ulquiorra could only be placed in the position of Quinto (5th) Espada.
According to the original book, the position of Quinto (5th) Espada at this point should actually belong to Nnoitra, but because of Mazuru, Nnoitra died early, which made Ulquiorra rank at his place, but the following Espada had not changed much, um , but it could not be said that there was no change at all.
Because the prototype of Beelzebub was supposed to devour Kaien, and later it was fused with a Gillian to become the Noveno (9th) Espada of Hueco Mundo, Aaroniero, but because of Mazuru, he finally became Beelzebub, and became the Cero (0) Espada, so the position of the Noveno (9th) Espada was taken by Yammy, the Cero (0) Espada in the original book.
However, whether it was from one to ten, or from zero to nine, Espada was still the same Espada, which does not change the fact that their group was powerful.
"I want to meet Inoue Orihime."
After he spoke to Ulquiorra, Ulquiorra immediately stepped aside. Although Aizen had imprisoned Orihime, if Mazuru wanted to see her, there was no problem with it.
Stepping into Orihime's room, Orihime who had lived in Hueco Mundo for a few days, seemed to have gotten used to the life of Hueco Mundo, and even changed into the white uniform of Las Noches.
"This dress suits you quite well."
A deep voice sounded beside Orihime's ear, she was startled suddenly, and turned her head quickly, only to see a figure that both shocked and surprised her.
"Captain… Mazuru?"
