As the others spoke, Aokiji didn't reply at all. He crossed his arms and kept his eyes on the Hollow, staying calm even as it rushed towards them. At that moment they decided to fight, atleast keep him busy. Aokiji nodded, and stayed still, watching as the Hollow shot fire out of his mouth. Kaizo quickly activated his Shikai and begin fighting fire with fire, it was Aokiji turn. Suddenly he was above the Hollow and landed behind him with an activated Shikai. [I]If this attack hits then it'll give the other two a chance to replace the seal[/I], Aokiji thought as he held his Shikai forward. Activating Kami no sōzō, a tiger zipped out quickly towards the Hollow. With how close he was, and how the Hollow was still shooting fire from his mouth, he was confident the attack would hit and stun it. If not, Aokiji was fast enough to deactivate the ability and get out of range.
