"Love-san, don't be so rigid," Tsuna said as he used Shunpo to appear beside Aikawa Love, patting his arm.
"With the shopkeeper and Shinji here, you're not worried about accidentally hurting anyone, right?"
"…Well…" Love hesitated, not agreeing imdiately.
"Just do it," Hirako Shinji persuaded him.
"If we want to train Bankai Hollowfication, this kid might actually be our best sparring partner."
"…Alright," Love sighed.
"But if soone gets hurt, don't bla ."
Reluctantly, he handed the manga he'd been reading to Lisa.
The mont Lisa took the book, she grabbed Hiyori and used Shunpo to pull her away along with the other Visored, clearing the battlefield.
"Let go of , Lisa!" Hiyori protested.
"Don't be stupid," Lisa said calmly, adjusting her glasses.
"Love's Bankai is no joke. If you ss around, you really could get hurt."
She had personally witnessed Love's Bankai once before.
"Co to think of it," Urahara Kisuke said, clapping his hands,
"I've never seen Aikawa Love's Bankai either."
"That was before you beca a captain," Shinji explained.
"Love used it during a Central Seireitei rebellion. He won the battle, but half of Seireitei ended up in ruins."
"A lot of 7th Division soldiers were accidentally killed in the process."
"After that, Love basically sealed away his Bankai. Even during the experint a hundred years ago, he didn't use it."
"Oh… that incident?" Urahara murmured.
He vaguely rembered it.
Seireitei had been in complete chaos at the ti—and he had used that opportunity to investigate several hidden secrets of Soul Society.
While Urahara and Shinji chatted, the battlefield was cleared.
Only Tsuna and Love remained in the center.
Having seen Tsuna's strength already, Love didn't bother holding back.
He imdiately released his Zanpakutō.
"Smash it — Tengumaru!"
Tengumaru transford into a massive cactus-shaped kanabō (spiked war club).
Even by appearance alone, its destructive power was obvious.
Yet despite its size, Love wielded it effortlessly.
For a mont, Love saw the faces of the soldiers he had accidentally killed long ago.
Then the vision changed.
Now he saw the Visored.
Once, he had sealed his blade for his comrades.
Now—
For those sa comrades—
He would unleash his full power again.
"Bankai!"
Violent Reiatsu surged through Tengumaru.
It spread across Love's entire body.
A raging storm erupted around him as currents of air wrapped tightly around his form.
Seconds later—
The currents exploded outward.
Love had completed his Bankai.
The massive club was now wrapped in eerie flas, vaguely forming the shape of a monstrous beast.
Behind Love, black wings spread open.
His body was encased in heavy rock armor, leaving only his face exposed—now marked with strange totem-like patterns.
"Honsei Zaiya Tengu!"
The mont Love spoke those words—
Three enormous spheres suddenly appeared behind him.
Each one was half the size of a football field.
They floated silently behind him like miniature planets, radiating overwhelming pressure.
At first Tsuna had thought Love's Bankai looked fairly simple.
But the mont those three planet-like spheres appeared—
His opinion changed completely.
No matter what—
Three objects that looked like small planets floating behind soone was extrely intimidating.
"So this is the Bankai that destroyed half of Seireitei…" Urahara murmured behind his folding fan.
"According to legend, tengu can chase stars and devour the moon. Fallen teors were sotis called tengu."
"This Bankai's true ability isn't the club… but those teors, right?"
"As expected of you, Kisuke," Shinji said.
"Love's Bankai is actually pretty simple."
"Every ti he swings his Zanpakutō… a teor falls."
"Every ti?" Urahara raised an eyebrow.
"So those three teors aren't the limit?"
"Of course not," Shinji said.
"How could just three teors destroy half of Seireitei?"
Love lifted the kanabō and pointed it at Tsuna.
"Here it cos, Sawada Tsunayoshi!"
A gigantic teor plumted toward Tsuna.
The montum was terrifying.
Tsuna doubted whether even a Vice-Captain-level fighter could survive that attack.
Which ant—
He needed to use his real power too.
"Bankai!
Bear the damage, erase the threat—Lightning!"
Green lightning crackled around Tsuna's body.
His Zanpakutō transford into an off-road helt.
The helt was black with a bull-head emblem on the forehead—the Vongola symbol engraved at its center.
This was the Lightning attribute Vongola Gear Bankai:
Lightning Helt Ver. X.
The teor was already descending.
But Tsuna calmly activated the helt's power.
The form shifted.
A massive spiral horn over one ter long extended from the helt.
Heavy black armor covered his torso and limbs.
Lightning flas surged onto the horn.
Green electricity crackled wildly, extending the horn even further.
Lowering his stance—
Tsuna charged straight toward the falling teor.
Lightning Horn!
BOOM!
Tsuna disappeared into the teor's impact.
The collision generated a massive shockwave.
Even Hachigen had to erect a barrier to protect the spectators.
Hiyori and Mashiro scread excitedly.
They had never seen Love use power like this before.
Who would have thought that the manga-obsessed otaku-looking guy possessed such terrifying strength?
But the scene didn't stay quiet for long.
Crackling sounds erupted from inside the teor.
Then—
The massive sphere shattered.
At its center stood Tsuna, his horn still raised.
Completely unhard.
Among the Seven Sky Flas, the Lightning Fla specialized in hardening.
In this state, Tsuna's defensive power was at its peak.
A single teor wasn't enough to defeat him.
"Good," Love said calmly.
"Now I can attack without holding back."
He spread his wings and rushed forward with Tengumaru.
Another teor followed close behind.
Tsuna didn't hesitate either.
Lowering his body, he ramd directly toward the massive club.
BOOM!
Their clash exploded with Reiatsu.
The pressure spread across the entire warehouse.
Then—
Another teor crashed down toward them.
Now Tsuna finally understood sothing.
Love's heavy armor wasn't just decoration.
It existed so he could fight enemies while surviving his own teors.
Another teor slamd down.
Tsuna imdiately wrapped his body in lightning.
Lightning Armor.
"Hachigen!" Urahara shouted.
"Stop reinforcing individual barriers."
"If those two keep fighting like this, they'll destroy the entire space."
"Understood!" Hachigen responded.
Urahara, Tsukabishi Tessai, and Hachigen simultaneously placed Kidō seals around the warehouse to stabilize the barrier.
"Defense is on us," Shinji said.
He and Rose stood in front of everyone, shielding them from the shockwaves and debris.
anwhile—
Tsuna and Love continued clashing.
teor after teor fell.
The battlefield never stopped shaking.
Both fighters relied on their trendous defensive abilities to continue battling at the epicenter of destruction.
But Tsuna frowned.
Sothing felt strange.
Was Love's Reiatsu really this massive?
Why were the teors endless?
He needed to understand the chanism.
"Demon Spade's Demon Lens."
Tsuna murmured.
A floating single-sided mirror appeared over his eye.
The mont he looked at Love—
He understood.
Behind Love's wings was a strange Reiatsu dinsion.
Inside it—
Countless teor spheres floated densely.
They weren't created from Reiatsu on the spot.
They were already stored there.
No wonder Love didn't seem exhausted.
The kanabō in Love's hands was essentially the key to that spatial dinsion.
Each swing simply released a stored teor.
In other words—
Honsei Zaiya Tengu wasn't a Kidō-type Zanpakutō.
It was actually a spatial-type Zanpakutō.
That was bad news.
Tsuna dismissed the Demon Lens.
Which ant Love had barely consud any Reiatsu so far.
But another question remained.
He had seen the "Star-Rushing" part.
But what exactly was the "Calamity Karma" (Zaiye) part?
Love seed to have reached the sa conclusion.
He no longer wanted to maintain a stalemate.
Flas ignited on his kanabō.
Love soared into the sky.
A tengu-shaped fla trail cut through the air.
A teor collided with the fla—
Forming a blazing tengu carrying a fireball as it rushed toward Tsuna.
"Calamity — teor!"
Tsuna activated the power of the Vongola Gear.
His horn expanded outward into a wide bull-horn shape.
Lightning surged through the spiral horn.
The twisted structure acted like an electromagnetic coil.
The electricity generated enormous magnetic force, allowing Tsuna to control the iron sand around him.
A black iron spike ford inside the hollow horn.
It was a horn forged from condensed iron sand.
Electromagnetic Coil Horn!
Tsuna's attack and defense increased once again.
Violent lightning erupted from the horn.
Thunder raged wildly.
Using Shunpo, Tsuna charged straight into Love's attack.
BOOM!
The collision exploded violently.
The burning teor shattered into countless flaming fragnts that rained across the battlefield like an apocalypse.
Love flew higher into the sky, his expression serious.
Tsuna's Reiatsu was still overwhelming.
Which ant—
His attack had barely affected him.
It was ti to prepare the next move.
Love's kanabō handle suddenly extended dramatically.
He swung it through the sky, leaving a long trail of fla.
Then—
A strange spatial rift opened behind him.
Like a miniature Garganta.
Love had completely opened the teor Dinsion Gate.
