Gua Bomb
The wolf pack is gradually disappearing under the attack of Taiyan Lankong Ya, and Stark is entangled with Tsuna. If this continues, Stark will lose.
Stark and Lilynette were both well aware of this outcome. Lilynette even mentally screamed at Stark to fight those three big tabby cats to the death, but Stark firmly refused.
There's only one outcome if Lilynette gets carried away: she'll risk her consciousness to self-destruct, and Lilynette will simply disappear.
Stark didn't want to be all alone again, so he had to save Lilynette no matter what.
While sparring with Tsuna using his dual swords, Stark's mouth and chest condensed into a ball of azure light— Cero. He could fire Cero from any part of his body.
That's not all. As Stark's two Cero increased in power, they gradually turned from blue to black. These were not ordinary Cero, but the Gran Rey Cero!
Even if this close-range flash hit Tsuna, the aftershocks would still injure Stark. However, Stark didn't care about that now; he was focused on escaping as quickly as possible to save Lilynette.
The moment the flash turned from blue to black, Tsuna was indeed startled. He hadn't expected the lazy Stark to be so desperate. There was no way to dodge it now, so Tsuna decisively lay back, forming a ninety-degree angle with Stark to avoid the flash of Stark's Gran Rey Cero.
Tsuna's reaction did indeed dodge the main part of the Gran Rey Cero, but this was a flash tested by the 10th Espada, and the beam was so thick that it immediately included the dodging Tsuna in the attack range.
Stark had no time to check on Tsuna's condition; he immediately turned and ran towards the wolf pack. With Stark's help, the wolves quickly gained the upper hand.
After the wolf pack and Stark together killed two leopards, the remaining one lost all will to fight, quickly reverting to its cat form, shrinking rapidly, and burrowing into Tsuna's arms.
Only after Gua withdrew did Stark have the mind to deal with the wolf pack. Of the fifteen wolves, Taiyan Lankong Ya killed nearly half of them in just a few moves.
Lilynette the Roar internally in Stark's mind. She couldn't take it anymore. She had to Tsuna apologize for the lost wolves, or even the cat if necessary.
Stark then noticed Tsuna's condition. Tsuna was unharmed; he was still unscathed after being grazed by the Gran Rey Cero, except that there was a layer of green lightning around Tsuna body.
In that emergency, Tsuna was forced to use a special Lightning Attribute bomb. The pure lightning enveloped him and provided him with powerful defensive capabilities.
Having used up all his special bombs with the Lightning Attribute, Tsuna only had his special bombs with the attributes of Storm and Rain left.
Stark, annoyed by Lilynette's nagging, charged toward Tsuna again, but this time he kept a close eye on Tsuna's unusual behavior, in case the leopard that had run back onto Tsuna jumped out again.
As Tsuna created distance, he fired at Stark. The bait had been laid, but it would take some time for it to take effect.
However, Lilynette wasn't going to wait for Tsuna's scheme to succeed. She commanded half of the wolf Tsuna to spray Bala at Tsuna, while the other half began to charge up.
The wolf pack didn't just attack Tsuna -on; Lilynette split them into three waves: one to cover Stark from the front, and the other to attack from both flanks.
Not only that, after the first wave of Cero, the second wave of wolves had already gathered their strength. What they released was not an ordinary Cero, but Gran Rey Cero color with a darker hue.
Good heavens, Lilynette's actions Tsuna completely dumbfounded. Wow, crossfire, suppressive fire, and a Gran Rey Cero! How many people can play like that with you?
No wonder Barragan was completely convinced by Stark, the 10th Espada. Thirty Fierce Wolf used the Gran Rey Cero to continuously suppress you; you had no choice but to submit.
Tsuna quickly stacked all the CAI protective barriers in front of him, then threw a blue bomb into the middle of the barriers. Blue Rain Flame enveloped the barriers, and the Sedation effect was enhanced like never before.
By forming a ring of barriers in front of him, Tsuna managed to block Lilynette's attack.
Although Gran Rey Cero Stone defense held, Tsuna was still under pressure. Ordinary bombs were no match for Gran Rey Cero and were swallowed up without even exploding.
Under Lilynette's cover, Stark had already reached Tsuna. Even more shockingly, the two swords in his hands had somehow changed from the light blue of Reishi to a deep blue, their appearance comparable to the Gran Rey Cero.
A blade formed from Gran Rey Cero? How powerful must that be?
The next moment, Stark gave Tsuna the answer. He wielded his twin swords, and one of Tsuna's protective shields was shattered in the blink of an eye. Even with the pure Rain attribute Sedation effect, it was useless. Unlike Cero, which is unattended once launched, these two swords were continuously injected with spiritual pressure by Stark.
Stark closed in with his sword, Tsuna didn't foolishly use his Storm Blade and Stark's two swords to fight back. Even the protective barrier couldn't stop him, and the Storm Blade wouldn't fare much better.
Just as Stark's blade was about to strike Tsuna, a bomb on Tsuna's belt popped out on its own, as if it had been pulled by something.
The bomb spun and flew between Tsuna and Stark, drawing Stark's attention away from what fell from Tsuna's mouth.
The bomb exploded without causing any damage, but a force propelled Stark backward, forcing Stark to retreat. And there, Tsuna was nowhere to be seen.
Special bombs, specifically Air Bomb, have little explosive power; their primary function is propulsion.
The Air Bomb gave Tsuna a chance to attack again. He immediately inserted the Bomb Chain into the Skull Sprayer and fired a series of rapid triple Rocket Bomb, aiming to block Stark's escape route and draw his attention away from him.
Just as Tsuna had thought, Stark immediately focused intently on the bombs flying around him. He wasn't wielding Dual Pistols anymore; dual swords required even greater speed and precision to destroy the bombs.
"Stark, watch out!"
Stark himself didn't notice, but Lilynette, who was on the sidelines, did. There was something thinner than a finger at Stark's feet. It looked like a bomb and was emitting the same kind of flashes as a bomb. There was only one conclusion: it could only be a bomb.
This miniature bomb was the same thing Tsuna had been holding in his mouth at the beginning. As Tsuna let go, the bomb flew to Stark's side along with the explosion of the Air Bomb. Stark's attention was now completely drawn to the highly mobile bombs, so he couldn't possibly notice the miniature bomb right at his feet.
"What?"
Upon hearing Lilynette's words, Stark was about to ask what had happened, but he could no longer hear Lilynette reply, because the bomb at his feet had already exploded.
Special Bomb - Compression Bomb!
Don't underestimate this small bomb; its power is greater than that of hundreds of bombs combined. Because it is so difficult to make, Tsuna only has one of these Compression Bomb. He usually carries it in his mouth, in the most conspicuous place, yet it is the one that no one notices.
Boom! A violent explosion engulfed Stark, and not only that, the Rocket Bomb also landed on Stark, as he couldn't deal with them.
Lilynette. Although she knew from hearing Stark's wails that Stark was probably still alive, she was still anxious and wanted to check on Stark condition.
The wolves disappeared into the smoke, and only after the smoke cleared did she see Stark's horrific state. He was covered in blood, and the fur from his wounds was stained red. Lilynette had never seen Stark so badly injured.
Unlike Tsuna's Armor-Piercing Bomb, Stark's battle robe wasn't actually damaged much. His injuries were all internal injuries caused by the spiritual pressure explosion. Even with High-Speed Regeneration, these injuries wouldn't be effective and would have to heal slowly.
"Damn it!" One of the Fierce Wolf glared at Tsuna with malice, speaking in a harsh voice as it commanded Stark, "Stark, make the trade! I'll take control!"
Stark and Lilynette were originally one person. After Stark separated Lilynette's consciousness, they could have decided who would take the lead. However, Lilynette's irritable and reckless nature made Stark uneasy about letting her fight, so Stark was almost always the one who fought.
With Stark severely injured and the battle still ongoing, he could only let Lilynette do as she pleased.
Stark and the wolf pack intertwined as spiritual pressure, and soon a blonde, roguish-looking girl appeared, holding a thick, fire poker that looked like a shotgun.
This is also why Stark rarely lets Lilynette take the lead; the Cero from the shotgun disperse after a certain distance, making it easy for people to find hiding places.
To maximize the power of Cero, Lilynette must engage in close combat as much as possible. However, Lilynette is also a reckless individual, and if she were to take the lead, Stark would be lucky to avoid falling out of the Espada order.
"Die, you bastard!" Lilynette gritted her teeth and said to Tsuna, already pointing her shotgun. Regardless of whether she could hit Tsuna, she was prepared to fire first.
However, Tsuna didn't move at all when faced with Lilynette's fierce expression. He didn't even bother to defend himself. It wasn't that he looked down on Lilynette, but rather that Lilynette's vigilance was really low.
Lilynette wasn't stupid. Seeing Tsuna's strange behavior, she didn't immediately fire. Instead, she frowned, seemingly deep in thought, until she saw Tsuna look up at her, at which point she turned away.
Lilynette was furious to discover that the wretched cat had somehow gotten behind her again, and it had grown to the size of her arm. But why was its tail on fire? It looked like it was about to burn itself!
With a loud bang, the melon answered Lilynette's question: this melon was still a bomb, just like the Stark Wolf Pack, using itself as a bomb for explosive attacks, and this attack wouldn't be much weaker than the previous Compression Bomb.
It can be said that the melon bomb and the Compression Bomb are the trump cards of the Storm Attribute Bankai. The other bombs hanging on the body are just a cover. When facing a powerful enemy, you still have to rely on the trump card.
Unlike Compression Bomb are reusable, but they require the melon's body to be replenished with Storm Attribute spiritual pressure after each use.
Seeing the violent explosion before him, Tsuna raised his hand and put the finger-sized melon back into his belt. Charging it up was the melon's first weakness.
The second weakness is that when Gua is in cat form, his attention is not focused and he is easily distracted. Therefore, he needs the Matatabi to guide his attention so that he can accurately explode the target.
Now that Stark is attacking Tsuna at close range, Tsuna has already taken the opportunity to use Air Bomb to blast the Matatabi onto Stark. However, Stark has gained control over the Lilynette, and Stark doesn't get to enjoy it; all of Tsuna's attacks fall on Lilynette.
Seeing Stark and Lilynette revert to their original forms after releasing their Resurrección forms, Tsuna thought that things should calm down for a while now.
(PS: Gokudera VG, the cigarette-like thing he's holding in his mouth is for lighting fires. In the Bleach world, there's no need for fire; spiritual pressure is enough to ignite bombs. So, the cigarette in his mouth has been replaced with a compressed bomb. That's all.)
