Gengyo, who'd kept his eyes locked on the Arrancar (still with no idea what she actually was), only nodded when Mana gave his orders. While he didn't enjoy being ordered around, he knew sound logic when he heard it and wasn't about to argue right now.
"Very well," he said calmly, before shouting out his customary warning of "Lieutenants, get away from us! No less than 200 feet!" while pointing his left index and middle fingers at Esmeralda and quickly reciting,"Bakudō #9, Hōrin!"From his fingers shot an orange tendril straight for Esmeralda, with a speed only the Grand Kido Chief could muster. There was reason he had this job, after all. The intent? Simply, put, all he planned to do was pull her close enough that she'd be well within the barrier when he activated his Bankai...and as luck would have it, his zanpakuto was already pointed straight upwards as he shot the binding out and guided it to its target with barely even a thought.

❝My argument against God was that the universe seemed so cruel and unjust. But how had I got this idea of just and unjust? A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea of a straight line. What was I comparing this universe with when I called it unjust?❞

Takashi's brows pinched together, then closing his eyes as he let out a breath of annoyance. He hate taking orders, but due to the Captain Mana's intensity of his tone, Takashi flashed away on top of nearby building. He stood his ground, keeping distance from his death ahead. He dropped his gaze away from him over to Captain Genyo, giving his full attention. He laughed and knew what power he possessed. He was noted for it. To be safe from being caught in the Captain's crossfire, Takahi took a couple steps back. This battle between the two Captains and that Arrancar was going a bloody, yet obscene fight. If Takashi wasn't warned, he would of been a corpse by now. Despite that Arrancar's appearance, Takashi's arrogance delude him to not realize the power that laid in the deep depth within that enemy. He gave his fellow Captains his faith, "Captain Mana and Captain Genyo! I will do my best to fight off the remaining hollows, but in return you too must defeat that Arrancar! Good luck. You gonna need it."
Right as Takashi was about to crash into the weak hollows with a full blast of lightning, he was then interrupted by Krin, Tenth Division Lieutenant. He took his advice and smiled when he was called as the lightning dude, which he personally thought was a cool nickname. "Yeah, i can tell. I don't plan on dying today, since I plan on having a cup of tea later once this is all over." Takashi then cocked a brow, and sarcastically laughed, "Don't worry about me. I'm fast enough to avoid your recklessness. You better not die." He later release a hell butterfly out from his grip as it fled to Captain Jack. Hopefully Jack was doing fine without his aid.
At that point watching Krin heading on for some combat, Takashi charged in as well. Only then a hollow would appear behind the man as he slam his whole fist. However, in just enough time, Takashi flashed up in the air with Shunpo so fast that according to the hollow's eyes it was as if Takashi had teleported. For a immense blow, Takashi raised his zanbato blade high in the air steadily before he hack it directly into the hollow's head. The hollow hit the ground hard from the booming impact of Takashi's attack. Although it wasn't enough yet.

Listening to the shinigami whom seemed to enjoy hollow mask, the woman smiled. So the other shinigami's bankai must form a cage or barrier that they hope can hold me. She thought judging by his insistence on holding her with the bankai. Smiling ad the lieutenants fallowed the mask man's orders, the arrancar would then use a sonido as the man Gengyo gave his distance warning. Esmeralda was momentarily conflicted on whether to dodge the bankai or iindulge her curiosity.
As the saying goes curiosity killed the cat, as such she reappeared directly behind the 6th captain. "If you want my attention just ask, I'm not into bondage." She said in reference to the kidō fired at where she'd been moments ago.

As Esmeralda came up behind the sixth division captain she wouldn't have long to taunt him before she found herself under onslaught although not from Mana himself, he was still standing about twenty or thirty feet away from the party. The only difference in Mana was the fact his spiritual pressure was practically depleted, instead a new spiritual pressure of the same kind had exploded into the area. The second reiatsu belonged to a small slender figure cloaked in black, she had two gigantic gauntlets strapped to her hands as well as a sharp mechanical tail. Both of which generated massive amounts of vibrations which if anyone got closer than two feet to would feel crushed behind the weight of such powerful vibrations. This small figure was surprisingly fast, although not as quick as most captains she was able to descend upon Esmeralda from the sky diving forth with both fists close together attempting to ram straight into the woman with her large gauntlets, the tail at her back was twitching strangely clearly readying itself to stab at the arrancar if the first attack hit. It was a strange sight that few had seen, the ability to split his reiatsu and fully materialize his zanpakuto into the physical world, by depleting almost all of his reiatsu he was able to give a physical form to his zanpakuto Jishinmusume, as she was currently in bankai form now attacking the powerful arrancar. When Jishinmusume took a physical form it left Mana unable to preform both shikai and bankai until she returned herself to him. However they were like a tag-team this way, the zanpakuto had been tagged in and she opted to kill Esmeralda before any fun could be have. "The one who wants your attention is me!" the little figure growled angrily as she fell, she hadn't been called on to fight for Mana in a long time and was hoping to cut loose for the few short moments she might be here, as her mind was linked with Mana's she knew that the sixth division lieutenant would cancel her existence, as zanpakuto's could not be used inside of his bankai. She had a few moments to inflict as much pain possible, her primary objective being to keep the arrancar off of the sixth division captain until he was able to cast his bankai and nullify her.
The entire time the real puppet master Mana just stood where he was, he had that same calm smile he had worn through the entire meeting, this time it grew slightly and was more focused on his materialized zanpakuto. Glad that she got to get some exercise in for once, it had been awhile since he had let her loose and given her the ok to use bankai against an opponent. He was thankful to Esmerelda for being powerful and giving his darling zanpakuto a little bit of a challenge, he himself decided he would stay out of the fight as he didn't want to spoil the fun, he was of little use while Jishinmusume was materialized anyways. Very few knew Mana had the ability to do this split, he was revered as one of the most attuned to his zanpakuto in soul society, freely able to summon her as a spiritual being to fight for him at the cost of his ability to use both releases as long as she were around. It was something virtually unheard of among shinigami however if you had lived as long as Mana had, watching the others of your generation die one by one, it could isolate you, it did for him, his only sanctuary was with his zanpakuto who he had grown closer to than any human being, even his lieutenant. "Feel free to release your bankai Captain Gengyo, my lady Jishinmusume will keep her busy for a few moments" the captain stated coolly as he watched everything unfold from afar, he seemed to never break a sweat, he wasn't worried for his zanpakuto knowing if things got too difficult for her she would just return to the spirit realm and leave the rest to him. He knew for a fact he couldn't face off against this arrancar alone so neither could his zanpakuto, however she could survive long enough to make a difference, keeping her busy shouldn't be hard.

In case your wondering, basically Mana can summon his zanpakuto into existence and have her fight for him using his shikai/bankai although when she's around he cant use either of them himself. You're basically fighting with his zanpakuto right now instead of him. Hope that isn't confusing. >~<
Gengyo, thank the powers, was in his special "mode". One could liken Gengyo to a guy with two settings: his role as Kido Grandmaster being one...and everything else being the other, and right now he was in the zone the way only the Kido Grandmaster could be. At this point, nothing could phase him and nothing could shake his iron focus. As Esmeralda appeared behind him, he abruptly cut off the binding without even a thought so as not to waste his time and stamina, already halfway through a small jump to give him a tiny bit of space from the smash of his associate's ability. He knew basically that Mana could do this, but none of the specifics...after all, it was his business to know who would be affected by his Bankai and in what ways, otherwise he could not be expected to use it to its fullest. He knew that everyone knew what his Bankai did; in fact he was perfectly fine with the fact that the other Captains tended to use his Bankai specifically to weaken exceptionally strong enemies. Luckily he was still holding his sword straight up through the jump.
"Bankai!" he shouted as he jammed the blade into the ground as fast as he could. As usual, the spokes of light shot out and the sphere formed with unbelievable speed, effectively cutting off himself, Mana, and the Arrancar from everyone and everyone from them. Gengyo also knew, although he could not feel it, that now everyone was on the same basic level. All manner of spells, Kido, and Cero, and Garganta were gone, Shikai and Bankai were now barely worth the grueling effort now required to use them, and Zanpakuo abilities were equally neutered. Even if she drew her Zanpakuto, she'd find it barely responsive and more or less a club. All that remained unchanged was their physical attributes. He dimly wondered if she understood Japanese.
"Tsukurite Yasuragi Zettai Seion..."he said as the light inverted itself, making every color fade into its opposite,"enjoy your STAY!"he finished, while simultaneously launching himself into a violent flurry of punches, kicks, elbows, and knees, each one aimed at a different spot on her body. In short, he was specifically taking advantage of the shift in light and his enemy's lack of knowledge regarding what she just allowed herself to get caught in so that he could deliver a punishing ambush. Cheap shot? Maybe so. But no one had ever accused Shikitei Gengyo of being a fair fighter. After all, he was from the literal worst possible part of the Rukongai, where you either fought dirty or you died.
((Just a reminder, if you're at all unsure of what is and is not sealed inside Gengyo's Bankai, I highly recommend you check his profile first, then pm me if it's still unclear.))

The small figure's attack would seem to hit home as she descended on the premera, the arracar's face showing pain before the image faded. Esmeralda had moved had high speeds to produce something akin to the shinigami's utsusemi, or an afterimage that could appear to take damage. The actual bodyof the woman was some ttwenty feet away watching the girl attack, claiming she wanted her attention. "Aw aren't you darling little oneiI could just literally eat you up." She said noticing a few things at once, the maskman sseemed to be weaker and this girl had a similar energy to him. Where they connected? If so he was more interesting then before, perhaps she should deal with the barrier boy and then play with mask man.
However Esmeralda wouldn't have much time to play with her thoughts on the matter as the colors changed around her. She also took notice that her usual range of awareness was shortened to the confines of the barrier. She smiled as the man Gengyo attacked, little did he know with her senses cut to a small area they became infinitely more deadly. Against his deadly barrage she was sure anyone else would be overwhelmed, yet sensing the energy in his body she was able to tell the speed and direction of each attack as it came. This allowed her to block and dodge his barrage.
Utilizing a sonido to make some distance between herself and the captains the woman wondered what did this barrier do. So far these two hadn't fell for the classic slip of shinigami who brag about their power. Thus she needed to push them. "Nice wake up call you have here, see you can be a gracious host if you try Gengyo-san." She spoke keeping her mocking politeness as she momentarily pretended to catch her breath.
Mana felt upset for his darling zanpakuto as her attack was faltered however she didn't last very long to dwell upon it, the moment Gengyo's bankai went active the tiny girl disappeared just as she arrived, in thin air. All the reiatsu restored back to the captain once again however he wouldn't be able to use it inside of the field created by his fellow captain, he didn't mind much as he was another strengthened hakuda user. Together along with the barrier both him and Gengyo may be on better ground against this arrancar despite her overwhelming power, the two of them would be able to give her a bit of a challenge now. As she avoided the first onslaught directed at her Mana decided it was his turn to act however he had a different way about things, he knew that he was possibly no match for the arrancar even with the help of another captain. His defense was sturdy and his overall goal was to keep this woman busy until the others could arrive and she could be subdued, until then all he had to do was make sure she couldn't escape, and that she didn't kill the two of them. "I believe it's your turn to attack us arrancar, please hit me with everything you've got and try to make it hurt, you've been a rather dull opponent thus far" Mana shot back at her with his own taunts, he too could mock his opponent although he usually didn't as it was unsightly, still if this woman had no respect for them he decided it would be best to show none back. He hoped he could rile her up a bit, at least enough to attack him seriously, he was certain he could handle anything she threw at him, he had lived for almost two thousand years and he planned to live two thousand more after all.

Gengyo could not help but agree with Mana. She had only taunted and dodged. Now it was his turn to taunt.
"Perhaps she's just so very powerful that she runs away like a gutless, cow-hearted, yeasty codpiece instead of actually fighting...it's not like her life's on the line or anything."
She was faster than he'd thought, though, the way she'd countered him so easily. Not every Captain could have done that and his street-brawler style was his signature. Perhaps he'd have to use more conventional tactics. A bit more dull, yes, but infinitely more effective...and so he adjusted his stance, slowed his heart rate and his breathing, and in no time was in the zone. His stance was a relaxed one, even though it deliberately had dozens of tempting openings; openings that were in no way really openings.
"So, Hollow girl, the three of us ain't goin' nowhere til I say so. So why don't you tell us why you're here? In exchange, as a gesture of good faith, I freely offer to you the following: The only way to release this barrier is to take my Zanpakuto, Tsukurite Yasuragi and remove it from the ground. An exceedingly simple and infinitely frustrating weakness to my otherwise superb Bankai."
He winked as he said this, a wink for Mana, though he was not looking at him. As of this moment, those two were the first to be told how to end the Zettai Seion, although what Gengyo did not tell Esmeralda was what would happen if she tried it without his permission...permission which had not actually yet been given. If he was lucky, she'd take the bait, assume he was just being boastful of his power, and make their jobs easier for them. If not, then he'd still have risked nothing on this gambit.
It seemed both men wished her to attack, ether realizing her speed made it difficult to hit her or believing they could get her with counter attacks. Ether way she'd indulge them with a close eyed smile, she would raise herleft pointer finger up like a child using a finger as a gun. Aiming at the masked man, Esmeralda would ready a bala, however as she attempted to the energy wouldn't form. Her right eyebrow lifting slightly would be the only sign of surprise she'd give before acting like she ffired it at the captain. "Bang, there Ishot you. What not dead oh that's right I forgot to bring bullets. Oh well guess that means I'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request of hostilities brought upon you by myself. " At her own joke Esmeralda would laugh politely, before rudely being called hollow girl.
" Really Gengyo I've called you by your name at least once since you gave it. The least you could do is ask your guest their name. But as I've already said that I'll give you the same kindness you gave me. I am Esmeralda de la Vega Garcia, the one who as a vasto lorde defeated and devoured the premera espada. In doing so I was rewarded with an arrancar body and to my knowledge soon the premera espada spot. As to why I'm her you could say similar to why your here to waste time. Once this bankai ends you'll find a district of the rukongai missing. Had you gone there instead of playing with me it could have been saved. Yet I do believe I was to tempting a target to pass up, now before we dance more cutie in the mask will you give me a name? " As with every time she spoke every word came out as if kind yet felt like poison against the ears.
As Gengyo's words went through her mind, Esmeralda smiled while she did not doubt his words it was unlikely so easy as he made it sound. Then again she could likely rule out a kidō trap as the trick. If her bala didn't work then cero and shinigami kidō likely were out as well; and given the other captain's helper who was no doubt related to his blade disappeared zanpakutō were sealed in here. So it is an area of pure body techniques. This was interesting her lord would be pleasedto kknow the info on a captain's bankai. However Esmeralda had to try and get out soon, the army's estimated life was nearly up. Thus she would soon need to break free of these restrictions, andshow the ccaptains fear.

The tenth division captain seemed a little shaken at the information he was given, he didn't have much reason to believe the hollows words when she spoke of the rukongai but at the same time he knew it was true, it would give them a mission and need to come here, clearly that was what was going on here. Clearly having a chord struck with him Mana didn't feel much like playing games anymore, he was heavily annoyed by all the speech that was taking place now, his smile faded and his dark eyes seemed to harden and lock onto his opponent. He began moving towards the arrancar he now knew as Esmeralda with a new sort of fiery passion about him, this time it was a lust and passion for battle, his entire outlook changing quite visibly, it seemed the kindly captain could be more serious than he let on, and more dangerous as well. "You're a thousand years too early to be asking my name child, however I've had enough of these games so if you beat me I'll give you my name... but that's unlikely, by the time we're finished here your leader will be missing one primera" the captain explained in a harsher tone, he was ready to give this monster a permanent home within his prison for the genocide of the rukongai. As he finished speaking he removed his haori turning it inside out so the inner crimson side was now apparent, as he did so he lowered the large hollow mask on his head down to cover his face, his emotions masked. He pulled forth his zanpakuto and unsheathed it this time, a rare occasion as Mana almost always fought with a sheathed blade, it was clear he was out to kill, or at least weaken the espada enough to capture her. He held his blade in his left hand and his sheath in his right clearly meaning to fight against her using both of them as weapons, his sheath was build more durable than most as it had to be able to take hits against other zanpakuto without breaking therefore it was a worthy defensive object. "Now that I plan to unleash my wrath upon you I have to make sure not to get blood on my haori.. luckily I've flipped it inside out so that won't be a problem, your blood will blend right in" Mana remarked cockily, he was clearly smiling behind his mask as he spoke, without further delay he decided it was time to put talking behind him and begin his attack. His shunpo was easily one of the slowest among the captains but that didn't stop him from using it to get close to the hollow woman, he swung his blade in a horizontal line threatening to slice through her upper chest while he used his sheath in a stabbing motion towards her gut hoping to knock the air out of her lungs.
Gengyo almost grinned as she spoke. Indeed he felt some manner of dread as losing a whole Rukongai district, but even so, he knew for a fact that this apparent Arrancar, whatever that was, wasn't going anywhere without his say so, which meant either as a corpse or as a specimen for the 12th Division or perhaps a hostage they could interrogate. And then Mana began his own assault. Time to shine.
As the 10th Captain rushed Esmeralda, Gengyo was sure to time it just right by watching both of their movements down to their breathing. At exactly the opportune moment, Gengyo moved himself at almost identical speed to come up behind at to Esmeralda's blind side. As he got there, he started moving at one his fastest and most rapidly shifting speeds to create shifty and very flimsy after-images. Speed Clones were not his forte, but he could hold this optical illusion up enough to hopefully surround her in shadowy images. Perhaps there'd be enough doubt as to his exact location that she'd choose instead to fight the more substantial enemy in front. Moving this fact, even his own reiatsu seemed split into as many forms. Only downside was that this bluff was one he couldn't do more than once. If it failed, all he could personally do was try and wear her out the old fashioned way. With sheer determined, single-minded stubbornness.
"When this Bankai ends?"the clones all said in unison, complete with multiple voices to complete the illusion,"This Bankai will end if and when I want it to and not before. Arrancar," he still refused to use her name,"You will be either dead or in our custody long before then."
Fast or not, he was hoping to all the powers that his varied tactics would be enough to instill some manner of doubt or, Soul King willing, some hesitation.

As the combat raged on inside captain Gengyo's bankai Krin continued to battle with the oversized hollow that surrounded the ominous dome of the captains bankai. Despite lacking the offensive punch these hollows were quite the hassle to deal with much like a never ending game of whack-a-mole. With each hollow he knocked around he felt himself awakening more and more and his fists began to have more weight being thrown into them which made him thankful that he didn't have to fight the arrancar currently being handled by the captains. Fighting just after waking up was one of Krin's least favorite activities and if he had fought that arrancar half asleep he could have easily died. Finally gaining his sense of rhythm Krin's movements seemed to become more fluid. His attacks seemed to just naturally follow each other as if they were part of a ritual, a routine, a pattern that was simply second nature to the lieutenant for hand to hand combat was his bread and butter and these hollows were as good as toast standing before him. While he was fighting the squad ten standout overheard his squad three comrade muse back to him about how they would be fine and instructed Krin not to die which made him quickly grow a smirk on his face. After finishing off the first hollow with a swift yet strong kick to the mask utterly crushing it and also the hollow along with it Krin turned his head back towards his partner in this battle."Oh please, I'm way too cranky to die today." he called back before grabbing one of the hollows and hurling them towards the ground causing a small crater to be made in the ground upon their impact before he tightened up his body and scrunched together standing straight and fully bending his feet down to where his body resembled a spear as the lieutenant began to fall, spinning to gain some momentum as he descended upon the helpless hollow planning to use it as his landing pad in order to finish it off.

『Shizuko Yukimori』
Arriving at the scene of Captain Gengyo's Bankai, SHizuko quickly homed in on one of the Giant Hollows that had been thrown by another Shinigami. Unfortunately for her, she did not expect the Garganta that opened directly under her, allowing two more Giant Hollows through, one of whom landed a vicious slash on her stomach.
Luckily for Shizuko, the slash had thrown her off course and out the the vision range of the Hollow, which promptly forgot about her in favor of another Shinigami.
Cradling her now-shredded stomach, Shizuko slowly started limping towards the edge of Captain Gengyo's barrier. As she reached it, she collapsed to the ground, lifting her arm off the wound. Wincing, she slowly peeled off her upper clothing, getting the useless cloth out of the way. Without knowledge of Healing Kido, and no one coming to help her, Shizuko was in trouble.
Knowing she needed to act fast, Shizuko did the only thing she could think of. Hovering her hand over the wound, she began chanting the incantation to Hado #31, Shakkahō. The chant was not for more power, but reather finer control. "Ye lord! Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Inferno and pandemonium, the sea barrier surges, march on to the south!"
The flames sprung to life in her palm, and she began shaping them, turning the projectile from a ball into a more disk-like shake. Taking several deep breaths to steel herself, Shizuko plunged her hand directly on top of her stomach, instantly cauterizing the wounds with the heat and flame of the Kido.
Shizuko screamed. If anyone was looking at her, they would hear an ear-piercing scream, louder than Shizuko had ever before been. The pain was unbearable. Dispelling the Kido, she examined her stomach - it was now a scorched mess, but the wounds were no longer bleeding.
Even in the face of terrible pain, Shizuko kept her mission in mind - while she was in no condition to actively take on any of the Hollows, she began another defensive Kido, hoping to protect herself if any should come at her. "Just as the water of a river plunges into and merges with the ocean, so to do the Noble Eightfold Paths plunge into and merge with reality." She had set up Bakudo #53, Noble Eightfold Paths. The spokes pointed out in every direction, excluding Gengyo's Bankai, which would block the effect.
Now sitting in her protective zone, Shizuko began about her main task - preparing for the end of Captain Gengyo's Bankai. Knowing that in her current condition, she would not be able to react with the time needed to contain whatever was in side, she began the incantation of a high-level Bakudo, but held it back, electing to instead simply release it the moment the Bankai went down.
Hoping that whatever was caught inside was humanoid, Shizuko clasped her hands together and chanted. "Walls of iron sand, a priestly pagoda, glowing ironclad fireflies. Standing upright, silent to the end." As usual, the five orbs sprouted from her fingers, but she held them back, not allowing them to be released.
It seemed the new information had stricken a cord with the previously pleasant man. His words were now harsh, his mannerisms hostile, and he'd even twisted his coat around. All these changes just made the woman smile, he was playing into her hand, rule 1 of battle never let the enemy manipulate your emotions. As he rushed her, Esmeralda kept a lock on the two captains' energy. Had more been inside the bankai it was likely she couldn't keep them at bay, yet the fools had sealed their powers and left her with her two greatest sealed abilities.
When the masked man attacked she brought her hands down to meet his sheath as she leaned back to dodge his blade. Esmeralda did not plan to dodge it completely just lessen the cut so she could heal it faster. However as she began moving Gengyo began dancing around like a fly behind her, causing the premera to be hit by the blade more. Ordinarily this wouldn't bother her, but the blade hadn't cut it bruised her chest. She guessed the bankai stole blades cutting ability as well as other powers, raising an eyebrow from her grinning face as the only sign of her annoyance.
It was time to get serious, as before Esmeralda would move with such speed an after image was left. Her goal was now to tear Gengyo apart piece by piece in order to end his bankai so she could kill the masked man. They had awakened the Angel of Death. Fallowing his energy Esmeralda would attempt to grab Gengyo's throat with her right hand, if successful she would squeeze it while unleashing a series of devastating punches against him. If she failed to hold him down she'd use a barrage of kicks each aiming for a joint.
Gengyo saw the attempt at cutting and knew it'd fail but couldn't tell Mana that. Clearly he'd forgotten just how severely they were limited in here...and as Esmeralda raised that brow, Gengyo could see the change in her take place. Time to seriously earn his keep.
She moved, then he moved. He felt her fingers just brush his neck as he slipped away to near the edge of the barrier, lips already moving as he dashed backwards. She kept coming and he kept moving, barely able to stay ahead of her. It was barely audible, but anyone well-versed in Kidō, could just make out the incantation for Sajō Sabaku. In an instant, as he finished...the barrier dropped, color returned, and he felt his senses expand so fast that he knew the other two would probably get a bit disoriented, not unlike stepping into bright sunlight after a long period in a dark room. That's what he was counting on as he reached up his hand and clenched the fingers into a fist. Gengyo had sparred with the very fastest of Shinigami, and some of the strongest and he'd yet to meet one who could dodge or break out of this after a full incantation. And the fact that she was right there up in his grill would make for an almost assured hit.
"Bakudō #63: Sajō Sabaku!"was the call as he did the clenching. In the corner of his eye, he saw Shizuko sitting in the middle of one of his favorite seals with an obvious Gochūtekkan in the works. Probably not the best choice, things considered, but assuming Esmeralda got caught, he'd shout to Shizuko to,"Drop that spell!" just before hitting the immobilized Esmeralda with another incantation and its spell, "Bakudo #79: Kuyō Shibari!"
Of course, assuming that his first binding failed, the fact that he'd ended his Bankai would mean that they'd all be back with their abilities, and for just a second or two, Gengyo would be vulnerable due to the fact that Sajō Sabaku is an exceedingly powerful Bakudō despite its number...and of course Gengyo is also unarmed.
Gengyo, who'd kept his eyes locked on the Arrancar (still with no idea what she actually was), only nodded when Mana gave his orders. While he didn't enjoy being ordered around, he knew sound logic when he heard it and wasn't about to argue right now.
