The Suddenly Appearing Espada

"Espada, Yammy Llargo."

Yammy slowly revealed the number ten on his shoulder.

"The ten strongest in Hueco Mundo."

Though he was ranked tenth, there was no need to tell outsiders about that.

"Tatsuki Arisawa."

"Orihime!"

What worried her most was Orihime outside.

Orihime slowly retreated as Ulquiorra gradually raised his hand.

"You're
