He did not try to roll forward either—the severe injury to his leg and the viscosity of the deep sea would make him lose his balance completely, turning him into a lamb for the slaughter!
He made a move Rumlow would never have dreamed of!

He was not evading, but meeting the crisscrossing emerald-green bone claws that could sever steel head-on, ramming into them fiercely with the hardest part of his body—his skull!
