I assume by dissolving you mean dissipate. Because water is a solvent, and dissolution does not eliminate matter, it just scatters it. Now if the water froze, then technically there would be an increase in volume because ice is less dense than water, but I doubt that Togashi would have accounted for such a technicality.
