"I order you to stop that woman! You can understand me, right?" Koga shouted at the lizard.
High-level Hollows being able to command lower-level Hollows was no secret.
But what happened next caught everyone off guard. The giant lizard actually positioned itself between Kuna Shiro and Koga.

"Shinigami reinforcements?" Koga's face darkened. It looked like a hard battle was unavoidable.
"Lord Salkapolo, the Shinigami have suddenly sent reinforcements. Don't worry, it won't take long for me to capture them all and bring them back!" Koga said confidently.
