Ishida: Is This How You Fight as a Team?

Within the Seireitei, the Captain-Commander was locked in a fierce clash with Yhwach.

Though his Zanka no Tachi possessed unparalleled offensive power, Yhwach's Reiatsu was simply too high, far surpassing his base stats. As such, he had failed to gain the upper hand.

Yhwach, on the other hand, could maintain his Reiatsu at its peak through his control over Spirit Particles. Every powerful attack he unleashed forced Head Captain Yamamoto to evade.

Whoosh—

The dense barrage from the Great Holy Bow sealed off the Captain-Commander's paths of movement.

Just then, a fat figure crashed down from the sky and landed in front of the Captain-Commander.

Bang bang bang bang—

Amid a string of dense, muffled impacts, Yhwach's Great Holy Bow arrows shattered one after another, blocked by that figure as solid as a city wall.

"Meowooow~"

The creature let out a strange cry, seemingly complaining about the pain.

"It's you!?"

The Captain-Commander was somewhat surprised to see the creature. He had not expected to encounter Lu Li's Fairy-Tale Dragon in such a difficult battle.

"Meow meow!"

A'Huo patted its belly with both paws, smoothing down the fur that had been ruffled by Spirit Particles.

"I see. Then you'll be in charge of defense."

A smile appeared on the Captain-Commander's aged face. He had actually understood what A'Huo meant.

A'Huo nodded, stood upright on its fat body, and assumed a kung fu-like opening stance. It looked rather comical.

Lu Li had released it to act alongside the Espada. Originally, it was supposed to wait until Lu Li reached the battlefield before making a move, but Lu Li had used the telepathic connection between master and pet to tell it to help the Captain-Commander deal with Yhwach first.

Lu Li was currently trapped in an alternate space by an Explorer's item and
