There would be no reaction time capable for the actions that Gekko just preformed. If this attack was a simple charge-up of a Cero, maybe, but this is lightning. Its not using the natural form of Spirit Energy from which Gekko's Zanpakuto can manipulate, but using Elemental Force itself to move at speeds much faster than what the Kido was capable of.

Manipulation of energy itself would take incredible mental focus and composition. It would be nearly impossible to achieve that form of focus after initializing a projection of such a powerful Kido RIGHT after using a Zanpakuto technique
