El Presidente #1
As El Presidente sipped sparkling wine from a pilfered bottle in the safety of his own Republic, he realised that he was facing a rather difficult conundrum. The Arrancar had planned to carve out his little corner of Hueco Mundo with raw materials stolen from the human world while hoping diplomatic efforts would buy him enough time to get a living world wood business going: The Espada might control the Mint but he would control the Gold Mine so to speak, but he'd run into two problems.
The first was that these spiritual anchors which allowed non-living things to keep their form in the land of the dead weren't exactly up to snuff: The bottle he was drinking from was distorted as though the glass blower had the hiccups that day and the booze itself wasn't great. The second was that the events had proven that any intervention in Japan would provoke a response, potentially from Quincy of all things! If he wanted to survive to see the HDRLHM succeed, he needed to have better view of what opposition there would be to... expansion.
To that end he gathered his cabinet of Hollows (after they had finished consuming the last one for their musical ineptitude) and set a course for Japan once more. "Is my musical accompaniment prepared?" The snakelike dictator asked as he stepped out into the morning air.
"Yes, El Presidente. All ready once we begin, the strike force has already obtained the necessary!" A toad-like hollow bowed before him.
"Excelent. Then begin!" Mateo declared, snapping his fingers as the Hollows below activated their stolen speakers, blasting a menacing orchestral tune out to the busy public park "Citizens of Tokyo!" El Presidente began, amplifying his voice to be heard throughout the area "Your sovereignty is now that of the Hollow's Democratic Republic of Lower Hueco Mundo. Rejoice! For you are now in my domain as the greatest political experiment in the afterlife!" Yes. That ought to get a suitable response. Now all he had to do was sit back and watch the assembled Hollows do a bit of menacing to see who bites.
