The Monk's Trump Card

The Monk dusted himself off and used the Soul King's Power to rub his face back to its original state. His domineering confidence returned. He quickly used Flash Step to return to the center of the battlefield, wearing a feigned sorrowful face.

"What a pity, Sawada Tsunayoshi. You were just a hair's breadth away from killing me."

"I should kill you..." Tsuna said, raising his fist.

"Yes, you should kill me, why didn't you?" The Monk suddenly realized, a chilling smile spreading across his face. "Or are you afraid to kill me?"

"Are you afraid that my death will cause changes in the Soul King Palace and eventually lead to the collapse of the world?" The Monk opened his arms as if embracing the entire world. "Sawada Tsunayoshi, you have too many burdens. That's the reason you must fail today!"

The Monk pointed directly and purposefully in the direction of Tatsuki and the others. As a wise representative of the Five Special War Powers, the Monk understood that Ichigo and the others had a very good relationship with Tsuna when he saw Ichigo.

The reason why no one else was used to threaten Tsuna was twofold: firstly, they were too busy to deal with him, and secondly, the others were all people from the Three Worlds, unlike Tsuna, who was an outsider and Monk the Tsuna could not control.

For the Monk, all ties and burdens had long been discarded. The only motivation for him to live was to maintain the stability of the world. For this, he was willing to do anything, even if it meant using the Soul King as a wedge to push him into the corner of the table.

"A burden? They've been my motivation to keep going!"

Tsuna Flash Step in front of the Monk and delivered a Maximum Sun attack right to the Monk's head.

Without the blessing of the Sun Attribute Flame and without the Golden Holy Dragon Mode, this punch was somewhat insufficient. The Monk casually conjured a Senri Touten Palm and completely blocked Tsuna's attack.

"Such power is no match for me!"

The Monk grabbed Tsuna's fist and flung Tsuna away. With the help of the jet propulsion devices on his feet and back, Tsuna somersaulted back to the ground.

Tsuna knew, of course, that his current power was no match for the Monk. The difficulty in dealing with the Monk was not killing him, but rather figuring out how to prevent him from reviving.

Sealing was the first method Tsuna thought of, but given the suddenness of the situation, where could he find a sealing technique to seal a Monk of the Bleach's caliber?

It's important to know that Aizen's seal only succeeded because it was nourished by the Hogyoku Aizen his body; otherwise, a mere seal wouldn't have been able to trap Aizen at all.

Furthermore, since Monk control all the black and white in the world, throwing them Muken a dark and hopeless place like Monk might actually enhance Monk power.

After much deliberation, Tsuna had no choice but to shut down the Golden Holy Dragon Mode. There was no other way; having another scorching sun in the world was not a good thing for any living being.

Out of necessity, Tsuna had no choice but to turn off his personal sun for the time being.

But the Monk interpreted this scene completely differently. "Your so-called Golden Holy Dragon can only last for a short time, right? Without that monster, how will you resist my attacks!"

Monk monk clapped his hands, Gundam Mode was activated again. For him, it was just a matter of consuming some more Soul King's Power. There were plenty of Soul King candidates here, and capturing just one would be enough to offset his consumption.

Tsuna was speechless. Monk this monk really think he was helpless?

However, Tsuna really couldn't do anything about him. Faced with the Monk's offensive, Tsuna could only use his Super Activation speed to dodge constantly, while exchanging information about the battle situation with his strategists.

In Tsuna's inner world, on the rooftop of Namimori Middle School, the Decimo, Byakuran, and Kuri Enma sat cross-legged, pondering how to deal with the Monk.

Not far from them, two figures were emitting a yellow light. They were Ryohei Sasagawa and Daisy, representing the Sun Attribute power of Bleach and Hollow respectively. Tsuna's Beyond Bankai was being maintained by them.

"You guys need to think of something quickly, Little Tsuna is about to get beaten up," Kuri Enma urged anxiously, looking at the situation outside.

"Damn it, don't even think about slacking off, come and think with me!" Byakuran said, pressing down on Kuri Enma's head.

"There's no other way. The Quincy's abilities don't mesh with yours for the time being, and I can't handle Monk on my own. Of course, I can only rely on you." Kuri Enma glanced around. "You don't actually think I know your powers better than you do, do you?"

Byakuran fell silent. That made perfect sense. Tsuna was using his and the Decimo's powers to fight, so it was only right that the two of them should come up with a solution.

However, the concept of this ability is rather abstract, and neither he nor the Decimo is skilled in sealing techniques, which is why they still had no ideas after spending quite some time on it.

Byakuran's gaze fell on the Decimo, hoping that the other party could lend a hand.

The Decimo closed his eyes to rest for a long time before opening them and saying, "There's no other way, Little Tsuna, you should kill him first!"

The Decimo was ruthless; he killed the Monk right away.

"But the Monk can be resurrected, so it's pointless," Tsuna explained.

"Then let him be resurrected. Only by witnessing his resurrection can I know how to reconcile him," the Decimo said.

Byakuran's eyes lit up. They did indeed possess abilities no less than those of the famous. The Great Void's harmonization was also a highly conceptual ability; to put it bluntly, it could be used for anything, but what kind of effect it had depended on the direction of the harmonization.

If we could capture the spiritual pressure fluctuations when the Monk revived, and then harmonize them with the Reishi scattered throughout the air, it might be possible to seal the Monk's revival.

"Great idea, Little Tsuna, I agree too, go for it!" Byakuran said with a wave of his hand.

In reality, after taking several punches from the Monk Tsuna muttered, "Okay, I understand."

"Hmm? It's not too late to surrender. I'll try my best to spare your limbs," the Monk chuckled.

Tsuna was struck by the Monk's palm again. This time, instead of retreating, he crossed his arms in front of his chest, blocked the attack, and then forcefully spread them apart.

"Golden Holy Dragon Mode!"

"What the heck!" The Monk was dumbfounded. Wasn't it supposed to be a one-time use? Why is it starting again?

The Golden Holy Dragon Mode does indeed require the flames on the Sun Wheel to activate. A perfected Sun Wheel represents the complete state and can be deactivated at the master's discretion.

Once the Sun Wheel activated its Golden Holy Dragon Mode, it immediately began a countdown. Each flame represented a breath, Tsuna's Golden Holy Dragon Mode lasted only a few dozen breaths this time.

But that's enough to deal with Monk.

Golden flames formed wings on his back propelled Tsuna forward, while his Tsuna swung rapidly in front of him, clearing a path for Tsuna like spikes.

Extreme Combo! Jab, hook, straight punch...

Tsuna's speed was incredibly fast, and the Gundam Mode Monk couldn't stop him at all. In no time, Tsuna rushed to the golden Monk's chest, which was protecting the Monk's true form.

Monk monk swallowed hard. Could Sawada Tsunayoshi really be planning to kill him?

He brought his fist to his waist, a flame flew off his gauntlet, Tsuna gathered his strength to unleash a punch, a devastating beam of light shooting out from his Tsuna.

Ultimate Cannon!

Tsuna appeared before the Monk through the blasted-open body, followed by three flames falling onto Tsuna's body, and two figures separating from Tsuna's body.

Maximum Machine Gun - Three-in-One Edition!

The three Tsuna formed a triangle Monk, instantly blocking all his Monk routes. The Monk was bound to take those three punches.

Even in non- Golden Holy Dragon Mode, Tsuna's full-force attacks can make the Monk's face swell up like Pig Bro's. This time, however, he is using Golden Holy Dragon Mode, which is enhanced by flames, and he launches a combined attack from three directions, all of which are materialized.

With one strike, the Monk's body, created by Wang Jian, could no longer withstand the attack and began to crack, all due to the influence of the Sun Attribute flames injected into his body.

The Activation nature of the Monk's spiritual pressure also resulted in a relatively active spiritual pressure, which disrupted the basic structure of the King's Key formed by the Soul King's Power.

In that instant, the towering building that the Monk had built over thousands of years collapsed as if it had lost its foundation.

As the owner of this building, the Monk could no longer hold on. His body began to crack, and finally, driven by the Sun Attribute, he burst into a dazzling light.

The Monk is dead?

The spectators were all unable to accept this fact for a moment, but they had witnessed the Monk explode, his whole body exploding into pieces, leaving only a head with shattered eyes.

As for the Ichimonji containing the power of fame, it instantly transformed back into the shape of a calligraphy brush; without the Monk's support, it would have been nothing more than an inanimate object.

this...

Everyone opened their mouths, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say. Logically speaking, the Monk was a member of the Soul King Palace and a superior of the Gotei 13. The Gotei 13 should be protecting them, not loafing around here.

However, emotionally, the captains of the Gotei 13 were more inclined to help Tsuna, for a simple reason: Tsuna had helped them so much that they could never repay him.

Furthermore, in terms of reason, Tsuna is not entirely without reason. He has never done anything to harm the Soul Society and has actively protected the safety of the World of the Living and maintained the safety of the Three Worlds. In terms of reason, Tsuna is in no way lacking.

There's nothing more to say then. Without Kyōraku's orders, all members of the Gotei 13 remained silent, trying to ignore the fact that the Monk had exploded.

Looking at Kirinj's side, seeing his calm demeanor, Yoruichi couldn't help but ask curiously, "What? Is your Zero Squad really that cold-hearted, without any humanity at all?"

"Tch!" Kirinj still had that arrogant look on his face. "There's nothing to worry about. The Soul King Palace's foundation isn't that simple! That Monk might be plotting something bad. How could he really die!"

Upon hearing the word "Monk," the lifeless head seemed to twitch slightly. Tsuna immediately shifted his attention to it. Was it just his imagination?

Just as Kirinj said, the Monk did not truly die; his spiritual power was in the Soul King Palace high in the sky, where he was quietly revealing his trump card!

(PS: After being defeated by Yhwach, the resurrected Monk was still able to sit leisurely on Omotesandō watching Yhwach and Ichigo defeat the Soul King. I think this guy must have some trump cards up his sleeve, which allowed him to confidently deal with either Yhwach or Ichigo, the victor.)
