Boom!
More than a dozen massive ice pillars rapidly closed in on Holi Bell at the center under Toshiro Hitsugaya's control. No matter how Holi Bell attacked or dodged, the pillars remained unaffected as they bore down on her.
It was as though Holi Bell had been trapped inside a cage formed by more than a dozen ice pillars.
Boom!
In the end, the dozen or so ice pillars converged at the center, forming a towering pillar of ice.
The Third Espada, Tia Holi Bell, was directly sealed within the ice pillar by Toshiro Hitsugaya.
Whoosh...
M Matsumoto Rangiku yanked Momo Hinamori aside, helping her evade Lila's attack.
"What's wrong, Momo?"
"Now isn't the time to lose focus."
As the Vice-Captains of the Fifth Division and Tenth Division, Momo Hinamori and M Matsumoto Rangiku had taken on Lila, Rose, and Sun-Sun, the three Fracción of the Third Espada, when Toshiro Hitsugaya faced Holi Bell.
From the look of the battle, both sides had traded blows and remained locked in a stalemate.
However, for some reason, Momo had frozen up just now and nearly been struck by Lila's attack.
"Ah, I understand now, Sister Rangiku."
"Don't worry. I'm more fired up than ever now."
Momo Hinamori smiled at M Matsumoto Rangiku. The determination in her tone left Rangiku staring blankly.
What was going on with Momo?
When Captain Aizen had appeared earlier, she had been absent-minded. She had even nearly gotten hurt after spacing out just now.
So why was she suddenly so motivated?
Momo Hinamori glanced at Aizen Sosuke, who had already been trapped in flames by Captain-Commander Yamamoto, and the doubts in her heart were finally resolved.
Several decades ago, Momo Hinamori had joined the Fifth Division.
During that time, Momo had received much help from "Captain Aizen."
