White Style
The battle between the White Dragon and "Foam" was one-sided. Every swing of the White Dragon's claws and Dragon Breath could take away some of its scales, while the White Dragon could always nimbly deflect "Foam's" attacks.
Tsuna was not pleased by this. Having experienced Ginjo's probing, he knew that "Bubbles" did not care about physical damage. He was waiting, waiting for the moment when "Bubbles" would reveal its purpose.
Sure enough, after once again forcefully withstanding the White Dragon's tearing, "Foam" suddenly opened its huge mouth, which had been filled with terrifying Dragon Breath. All of this Dragon Breath was compressed into a foam ball by "Foam" and shot towards Tsuna.
Bubble is very intelligent; she knows that Tsuna is the one controlling the White Dragon, which means that if Tsuna is dealt with, this troublesome guy will collapse on his own.
Tsuna was not surprised at all by the sudden attack from "Foam" that resembled a Tailed Beast Ball; he had already prepared for it.
Tsuna raised his hands to his chest, then quickly clasped them together just as the Tailed Beast Ball was about to hit him. With a snap, Tsuna clapped his hands in front of his chest, and the terrifying spiritual pressure vanished without a trace.
Nini and Noelle were stunned. They had been worried that Tsuna would fall for this move and were almost about to cry out, but Tsuna's response surprised them so much that it was like a chokehold, leaving them speechless.
White Clap.
Byakuran's signature defensive technique involves using the pressure of clapping his hands to forcefully extinguish the enemy's spiritual pressure.
Byakuran's moves are all too flashy. Tsuna only uses them in his Sky Resurrección mode. In other modes, if he doesn't control the power well, he might get slapped in the face instantly.
Seeing that his attack had no effect, the "bubble" broke into smaller pieces, once again turning into countless bubbles that caused the White Dragon's attack to miss its target.
The bubble that dodged the White Dragon's attack transformed into a torrent and rushed towards Tsuna. In front of Tsuna, the bubble reformed into the shape of a giant dragon, and its sharp Dragon Claws stabbed towards the human who was smaller than her palm.
With a loud bang, a burst of spiritual pressure from Tsuna and "Hotaru" erupted, scattering all the surrounding bubbles and creating a bubble vacuum.
"Bubble's" eyes trembled. This tiny human had blocked her Dragon Claws with just a single finger. Was he human or dragon?
White Finger.
By focusing the flames on a single point, Tsuna blocked the Dragon Claws's claw attack. During this process, he used the technique of Anti-Demon Killing, deliberately adjusting his spiritual pressure to be the same as "Bubble's," which resulted in a scene of evenly matched strength.
"White Dragon." Tsuna called out softly, White Dragon quickly attacked from behind "Bubble," spewing out Dragon Breath repeatedly, putting immense pressure on "Bubble."
"Bubble" turned away hastily, as if trying to cover something up. In that instant, Ginjo's importance ranked only second in her mind.
This was the moment they had been waiting for. The instant "Bubble's" attention was diverted from Ginjo, her Dragon Claws separated from her dragon body.
White Knife.
With his palm forming a blade, Tsuna seized the moment "Bubble" turned around and severed its hand with a single strike. His other hand, enveloped in the Sky Flame, reached into the bubble and pulled Ginjo out.
"Phew!" Ginjo let out a long breath as soon as he emerged from the bubbles. His strength was still quite good; he regained control of his body as soon as he was out of the bubbles. "Thanks, Tsuna."
Tsuna's goal is simple: first, to rescue Ginjo, the hostage, from the terrorists, and then to eliminate "Bubble," the terrorist.
But this terrorist seemed a bit off. The moment Ginjo broke free, she let out a shrill scream, as if she had been bullied.
"Ginjo!!!"
Ginjo shrank back, not caring that this crazy woman was shouting his name throughout Karakura Town; he just wanted to get as far away from this dragon as possible.
"It's up to you, Tsuna!" Having made up his mind not to get involved anymore, Ginjo quickly retreated to Tatsuki's side.
"Foam" launched a frenzied attack on Tsuna, determined to first eliminate the culprit who had stolen her lover before bringing Ginjo back.
Dragon Breath poured from "Foam." Tsuna occasionally used his White Clap to defend, but he never made a move, simply letting the White Dragon inflict wounds on "Foam."
"Why isn't he making a move?!" Nini was almost frantic. If she had Tsuna's power, she would have chopped that Fairy Tale Dragon into eighteen pieces long ago.
"It's not that we're not going to attack, it's that we can't find a good spot to strike." Ginjo's expression was grave. He understood Tsuna's thoughts perfectly. "Ordinary attacks have no effect on it. Tsuna is waiting for White Dragon to find its weakness."
Ginjo knew all too well what that feeling was like. Seeing that all his hard work had resulted in a wound that was completely wasted, he wanted to slap himself hard. He had acted too impulsively.
"A-Xin, is there any other record about the Fairy Tale Dragon?" Nini also wanted to contribute, but her mind was blank, so she could only pin her hopes on Noelle.
"In the fairy tale, the protagonist is a little mermaid. Her tail and transformed human legs run throughout the story. Sawada Tsunayoshi, try attacking her tail!" Noelle shouted the last part.
"That's a legendary dragon! Is it really based on fairy tales?" Nini thought it was a bit far-fetched.
"No, in a fight against the Fairy Tale Dragon, the only thing we can rely on is the fairy tale!" Tatsuki affirmed Noelle's suggestion. "Tsuna, attack her tail!"
Noelle and Tatsuki's double reminder acted like a shot of adrenaline, quickly clearing Tsuna's mind. He finally understood why the "bubble" had felt so strange.
From the moment White Dragon launched his sneak attack from behind, "Bubble" had been concealing something, even abandoning Ginjo. There was only one thing she was concealing: "Bubble's" weakness—her tail!
Tatsuki's voice was undisguised, and "Bubble" heard it too. She quickly broke into smaller units and started moving, preparing to transform into bubbles again to escape from White Dragon's entanglement. She was going to run away!
As "Bubble" dissipated, it grinned maliciously at Ginjo, thinking, "Let Ginjo be free for now. I'll bring Ginjo back soon!"
The next moment, "Foam's" expression froze. She suddenly realized that she seemed to have been grabbed. What could be grabbing her from among the scattered bubbles?
At this moment, "Bubble" began to shift her attention to Tsuna. She saw Tsuna reach out to grasp her with one hand, and orange flames extended from his arm, transforming into a giant fiery hand that held her firmly in its palm.
Was it this very thing that shattered her invincible bubble-like success? The "bubble" struggled desperately, while simultaneously trying to transform itself into a bubble to escape.
But the dragon from the West had never witnessed the power of the Eastern Dying Will Flame. Before the harmony of the vast sky, all beings were equal, and "bubble" had no chance of escaping from this giant hand.
White Hand.
Using the Dying Will Flame to form a giant hand, it can crush enemies; Little Ichi enemies can be crushed to death by its powerful grip.
Having completely controlled "Foam," Tsuna could now try his friends' suggestions. With a thought, Tsuna White Dragon and bit into the huge fish tail, causing "Foam" to immediately let out a shrill scream.
The ripped wound was bloody, proving Noelle's guess was right—the tail was "Foam's" weak point!
White Dragon returned to Tsuna's side with a hint of excitement. It knew its attack had caused effective damage. Tsuna gently stroked White Dragon's head; it was time to make the final decision.
Intense Sky Flames swirled in Tsuna's right hand, forming a drill shape. This was a technique on par with X-Burner in his Resurrección: Resurrection state.
Jet Cannon!
A thick, powerful jet of flame shot into "Bubble's" tail. "Bubble" didn't even have the strength to scream; her eyes were filled with despair.
The farce is over.
As Tsuna destroyed its tail, Bubble's body began to gradually collapse, turning into specks of spiritual Reishi that dissipated into the air. In despair, Bubble used all its strength to turn its head toward Ginjo's location.
In that instant, the vulnerable part of Ginjo's heart was pierced by "Foam's" gentle gaze, as if what stood before him wasn't a dragon, but a living, breathing person— Yuko-chan?
Ginjo gritted his teeth and Fullbring Light to push him to "Foam's" side. Seeing Ginjo's actions, "Foam's" eyes softened. In the name of Foam, she could no longer wait for Ginjo. During the flight, "Foam" had become a thing of the past, and the Fairy Tale Dragon from the West completely disappeared.
I felt empty inside. Had he done something wrong? No, he hadn't.
Ginjo didn't think he had made any mistake in rejecting "Bubble," he just felt a little regretful that he couldn't see "Bubble" off on its final journey.
Ginjo lowered his head dejectedly, unable to say a final goodbye. He really was a bastard.
"Silver... City... Sang..."
A soft voice came from above. Ginjo quickly looked up and saw Yuko, Yuko had become semi-transparent and floated down from above him.
In the name of "Bubble," she couldn't wait for Ginjo's farewell, but by gathering her last bit of magic, she could still understand Ginjo's regrets as Yuko-chan.
She loved the man who gave her love, and she didn't want him to shed tears of regret because of her.
"Yuko!"
Ginjo quickly got up and scooped Yuko up in his arms. Rather than scooping her up, he was actually cradling her. In this state, Yuko no longer had any weight as a human; she was just a ball of Reishi about to dissipate.
"It's... so... good to see... you..."
Yuko-chan's smile was still so gentle, capable of soothing all the weariness in one's heart, and it was precisely because of this smile that Ginjo fell for her.
He toiled and struggled for Xcution his whole life, thinking he had found a safe harbor to dock in, but fate played a cruel joke on him.
"Yuko-chan, don't say anything more, just rest well, everything will be alright!" Ginjo comforted Yuko with the words she used to use to reassure Yuko.
"Silver..."
"I'm here!" Ginjo replied immediately, afraid that Yuko wouldn't know what to say next.
"Ginjo..."
"I am here!"
Bitter tears streamed down Yuko's translucent body. Ginjo tried his best to suppress his grief and not cry out, but the floodgates in his eyes just wouldn't close.
"Ginjo, you..."
"I loved!"
Ginjo doesn't deny that he loved Yuko, but what he can't accept is that a monster approached him in Yuko's appearance and toyed with his and Yuko's feelings.
"That's... wonderful..."
A happy smile appeared on Yuko's face. The magic left by the "bubble" could no longer support her body, and under the full moon, she bid her final farewell.
"Arigato, Sayonara..."
Just like in the fairy tale, the Little Mermaid was ultimately unable to be with the one she loved, and she turned into a pile of sea foam and vanished...
