You Are Not Him
Just as thunder continued to rumble over Yoruichi's side, a series of explosions echoed across the sky over another part of Karakura Town.
Tatsuki Arisawa continued to weave through the hail of bullets, a flicker of disgust flashed in his eyes as he looked at the familiar face on the ground.
That's disgusting!
Tatsuki's opponent is a Quincy named Loyd Lloyd. During the brief moment that Tsuna appeared earlier, he copied Tsuna's abilities and even changed his appearance to resemble Tsuna's.
This was what infuriated Tatsuki the most. She was wearing her man's face, and he kept attacking her. Did he really think she wouldn't dare fight back?
With Flash Cry energy, Tatsuki, now in his Flowing Water Battle Form, was surrounded by a water curtain. Using the water curtain for defense and cover, Tatsuki quickly approached Tsuna, or more accurately, Loyd, on the ground.
Loyd is currently using the power of Storm Attribute Bankai and Resurrección. The wings behind him are half black and half white, each symbolizing his ability to use the power of Bleach and Hollows.
This is already the result of Yhwach's enhancement; before this, Loyd could only use the powers of Bleach or Hollows.
It wasn't that he didn't want to use more powerful abilities; it was only after replicating Tsuna's power system that he understood just how complex and difficult to master Tsuna's abilities truly were.
Loyd chose the Storm Attribute as his fighting style from among all the attributes. The reason was simple: the Storm Attribute had ranged attack capabilities. If he used other attributes, he probably wouldn't have had time to get used to them before being killed by Tatsuki.
Tatsuki's speed was far beyond Loyd's ability to react. Just as Loyd used his Storm Attribute Bankai alone, Tatsuki used his speed advantage to forcefully suppress Loyd.
Just as Tatsuki was about to kill Loyd, a light Koume began to fall. The despicable Yhwach came to the rescue just in time, allowing Loyd to unleash even greater power.
Once Loyd can use both Bankai and Resurrección simultaneously, his physical weakness disappears. His tough Tyrannosaurus Rex skin can even withstand Tatsuki's kicks, allowing Loyd to launch counterattacks against Tatsuki.
Sure enough, Tatsuki Flash Step behind Loyd and kicked Loyd away with a powerful kick. While flying, Loyd turned around in mid-air and fired a series of colorful bullets at Tatsuki.
Unfortunately, Loyd was using the power of the Storm Attribute, and various complex missiles instantly filled the area around Tatsuki's body, blocking all of Tatsuki's escape routes.
According to Loyd's calculations, this should have been the case: Tatsuki would have been bombarded to death by the dense barrage of Storm Attribute artillery fire, and if even a single speck of fire had touched Tatsuki, she would have been unable to escape the subsequent pursuit.
Loyd didn't even need to remind him; Tatsuki understood the Storm Attribute's attacks, which were like a raging torrent, far better than he did.
Loyd was undoubtedly successful in copying abilities, but he was too successful, so successful that he even copied Tsuna's subconscious habits.
Looking at the bullets flying everywhere, Tatsuki saw it as an open-book exam. With just one glance, she had no fewer than ten ways to escape the attack.
Flash Cry her spiritual pressure constantly adjusted, Tatsuki charged into the hail of bullets, her speed varying from fast to slow, always managing to dodge the attacks at the perfect moment.
Before Loyd could even admire the fireworks from the explosion, Tatsuki's figure had already appeared in front of him.
Tatsuki's hands were swirling with vortexes formed from flowing water. This was the spiritual pressure she obtained from Tsuna's Quincy ability, the Stream Drill. As long as the water was dense enough and swirled fast enough, it could drill through anything, even that tough Tyrannosaurus Rex skin!
The moment the torrent drill struck Loyd, Loyd contorted muscles bulged, managing to withstand Tatsuki's attack.
The moment the attack made contact, Tatsuki sensed something was wrong. Immediately afterward, an even more ferocious Storm Attribute flame completely enveloped Loyd. The purity of the Storm Attribute flame suddenly increased, forcing Tatsuki back.
As soon as he regained his footing, Tatsuki saw a huge, muscular man emerge from the flames. He was dressed in a red bodysuit and wore a Berserker Dragon Tactical Helmet, but his twisted body made him look even more ferocious.
The Beyond Bankai of the Storm Attribute?
Tatsuki recognized Loyd's current state as undoubtedly the Storm Attribute Beyond Bankai used by Tsuna. However, compared to Tsuna's appearance, Loyd's form was more twisted and terrifying, making him look less like a hero and more like a monster.
Loyd let out an unconscious roar like a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Just as Tatsuki's drill was about to pierce his body, he activated Pernida's nerves. The power of forced evolution forcibly combined the power of the Bleach and the Hollow, giving birth to this state that was similar to Beyond Bankai.
The reason it's similar is that Loyd didn't Fullbring as a mediator like Tsuna; instead, he forcibly combined the two powers, and he was already somewhat unable to control the terrifying power within his body.
Beyond Bankai is not a power that is so easy to control. If it could be mastered by force, Tsuna wouldn't have named it the power of transcendence.
A mocking smile appeared on his lips. With just one glance, Tatsuki noticed Loyd's problem. "It's good that you're wearing a mask. That way, I don't have to worry about not being able to be ruthless towards you!"
The power of the flowing water erupted further from Tatsuki, and Flash Cry's posture changed once again. He was draped in a golden and blue haori, held a golden Trident, and used the Water God Battle Form: Poseidon Sea Emperor Form.
Facing the sudden burst of spiritual pressure, the muscular Loyd Lloyd fired countless projectiles at Tatsuki. The attack seemed fierce, but it was completely chaotic, and many of the projectiles even collided and exploded in mid-air.
The roar of the waves surged in, and the towering waves completely covered all the attacks aimed at Tatsuki, with various explosives turning into muffled thunder in the seawater.
Loyd was about to completely lose control of his body's power. He stuck out his buttocks, bent his upper body forward, and tucked his hands into his chest. With the roar of the Tyrannosaurus Rex on his helmet, a tail formed from spiritual pressure fell behind him.
At this moment, Loyd has completely transformed into a Tyrannosaurus Rex with the Storm Attribute. This is the choice of Pernida's evolutionary nerves. After determining that Loyd could not control the power Beyond Bankai, it actively chose to evolve into the form of a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Human reason is disappearing from Loyd's brain, all the modern equipment on his body is beginning to become obsolete, and under the natural selection of evolution, Loyd is gradually reduced to only the instincts of a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Tatsuki was walking on the waves of the sea. Seeing Loyd's transformation, she felt even less burdened. Now, all she had to do was kill a monster with the power of the Storm Attribute.
Using the waves as leverage, Tatsuki leaped high into the air, raising her Trident above her head. She aimed at Loyd, as if preparing to attack a badger in a field, and threw the Trident directly at him.
As the waves surged, the Trident struck the back of the Storm Attribute Rex precisely. However, this blow was not enough to kill Loyd, who was nearly Beyond Bankai. Instead, it provoked Loyd's rage.
Storm Attribute storm flames erupted from Loyd's mouth, cutting through butter like a hot knife through butter, leaving no obstacle in their path.
After all, it is a highly pure Storm Attribute flame, and its super-strong decomposition ability makes it impossible for anything to defend against. Even Tatsuki dares not easily put himself within the attack range of the flame.
Tatsuki, who was surfing on the waves, suddenly disappeared. Beneath the calm sea, Tatsuki had already come to be beneath Loyd.
With a powerful kick, Tatsuki emerged from the water and slammed his foot into Loyd's chin, forcibly silencing him.
Then, Tatsuki wrapped his feet around Loyd's Tyrannosaurus neck, flipped over, and landed on Loyd's back. As he completed the Tyrannosaurus Rider achievement, several strong ribbons formed by the waves rose from the sea and bound Loyd tightly.
Standing on Loyd's back, Tatsuki drew his Trident. The spiritual pressure on the Trident rapidly condensed. As Tsuna's confidant, Tatsuki knew all too well where the core of this Beyond Bankai, lay.
It's the spot on the chest where Hollow Hole should appear when the Resurrección.
Given Loyd's current condition, if Tatsuki were to forcefully pierce Loyd's chest with his formidable power, Loyd would undoubtedly die.
Just before Tatsuki made his move, Loyd burst into flames. He used the decomposition power of the Storm Attribute to forcefully break through Tatsuki's restraints, and even Tatsuki had to leap up to avoid the burning.
She was truly tenacious, but Tatsuki no longer cared. Just as she appeared around Loyd, the spiritual pressure emanating from her body had already caused seawater to cover the area around Loyd's body.
Loyd had nowhere to run.
The spiritual pressure on the golden Trident was fully charged. Tatsuki murmured as she unleashed her attack at Loyd, "What was Tsuna's name for it again? Shocking... Wave Slash? Whatever!"
The ferocious waves engulfed Loyd, each inch of seawater striking his body a chilling slash. Tatsuki once again merged into the seawater, joining the ocean in unleashing countless slashes at the flaming Tyrannosaurus Rex.
The flames on Loyd's body gradually subsided, and his chest was exposed at this moment. Tatsuki's eyes lit up, and without hesitation, he raised his Trident high, leaped out of the sea, and pierced Loyd's chest with one blow.
Loyd was propelled high into the air by the power of the Trident, Storm Attribute power within his body began to go berserk, even the nerves covering his body were being broken down.
Having reached a dead end, from the moment Pernida's nerves became the target of the berserk flames, Loyd had no chance of turning the tide.
The Storm Attribute's ranged abilities are indeed the easiest to master, but unfortunately, it's also his downfall that's why he's so vulnerable to the Storm Attribute. If he had the Sedation ability of the Rain attribute, Loyd might have been able to go a few more rounds with Tatsuki.
The battle was over. Unable to control his power, Loyd transformed into a streak of crimson in the sky, bringing a vibrant end to this uneventful fight.
