Port city of Soufrabi
Gon, Killua, Biscuit Krueger, and the gorilla-like man Goreinu sat in a restaurant.
They'd just faced Razor and his pirates for the [Plot of Beach] card, but their current team wasn't strong enough, leading to their first defeat.
Now, they were brainstorming, trying to find more powerful allies.
"So, have you thought of anyone?" Goreinu pondered, unable to co up with suitable candidates. Gon and Killua shook their heads, after scanning their contact lists, they still couldn't find anyone.
Unlike the original tiline, since Chrollo hadn't been restrained by Kurapika, there was no need for a Nen Exorcist.
Thus, Hisoka never ca to Greed Island, and Gon contact list lacked the na "Chrollo" that Hisoka had used as bait.
"Looks like we'll have to trouble those two" Biscuit said, resting her chin on her hands, a hint of seriousness on her youthful face.
If they could get those two to join, adding a few more people would easily solve the problem.
"Bisky, who are you talking about?" Gon was puzzled.
Did Biscuit know any other strong people in the ga?
"I'm not sure if two people will work and even if they do, two people alone won't be enough, right?" Killua leaned back, looking indifferent.
Two people wouldn't make much of a difference.
That was his thought—until the next second.
Biscuit glanced at Killua' dismissive expression but didn't argue.
Instead, she calmly continued "One of the two I ntioned is Akira."
Her words were casual, but they hit Gon and Killua like a tidal wave.
"Pfft—!"
In his shock, Gon choked on his water and spat it out, his mind reeling.
Did Biscuit just say... "Akira"?
"Bisky, did you just say Akira?" Killua, who hadn't been drinking, quickly dropped his indifferent act, his face filled with surprise.
"Akira is on Greed Island too?"
"That's right. Akira is on Greed Island" Biscuit confird.
"He arrived two days before you did. I t him in Antokiba." She recalled their first encounter.
Later, she had reunited with Gon and Killua and focused on training them, so she hadn't seen Akira much since then. Fortunately, the contact list showed both were still logged in, aning they hadn't left the island.
"If it's Akira..." Gon was halfway through his sentence when his eyes t Killua and as if sharing the sa thought, they both exclaid in unison.
"There's no doubt about it!"
Leaving aside the issue of numbers, they were certain that the na Akira ant a guaranteed victory. Co to think of it, it had been a while since they'd last seen Akira.
According to Kurapika, it seed Akira had also been in Yorknew City last ti, even helping Kurapika take revenge against the Phantom Troupe.
"Unfortunately, we didn't get the chance to et last ti, but now we finally can!"
"The Akira you ntioned..." Goreinu swallowed hard, clearly nervous.
"Could it be the legendary Akira from Heavens Arena?!"
"That's right, it's him" Gon nodded.
"You actually know soone like the legendary Akira?" After Gon confirmation, Goreinu grew even more astonished.
Like Dalzollene, Goreinu was also one of Akira fans.
In fact, his admiration for Akira might even surpass Dalzollene. While Dalzollene admiration stemd from his pursuit of strength, Goreinu was different.
The reason he idolized Akira wasn't just his imnse power, it was also Akira identity as a "Nen Beast Master."
Since arriving in the world of Hunter x Hunter, Akira had earned many titles.
The most famous was his reputation as the Strongest Floor Master of Heavens Arena, known by countless Nen Users and ordinary people alike as "Legendary Akira."
Next was his title as the "Greatest Nen Exorcist" and the spreading reputation of being a Triple Star Hunter—these two were mainly well-known within the Nen User community. But the final title was the real reason Goreinu idolized Akira: "Nen Beast Master."
As a Nen User who also utilized Nen beasts, Goreinu deeply admired Akira ability to create such bizarre and incredible Nen beasts.
Goreinu was just one example—many others who used Nen beasts also regarded Akira as their idol.
"So, I'll get to et Akira-sama soon?" At this mont, Goreinu thoughts were similar to Gon and Killua—none of them had expected to et Akira here.
"Wait a second... Bisky, you just said 'they' "
Even the quick-witted Killua took a mont to process this.
"So besides Akira, who else is there?"
"The other one is Akira girlfriend. Co to think of it, you two should have t her before." Biscuit recalled nchi background, hinting that she had been one of the Hunter Exam proctors during Gon and Killua year.
"Let contact Akira first."
Ignoring Gon and Killua, Biscuit directly took out the [Contact] card to call Akira.
anwhile, Gon and Killua racked their brains trying to figure out who "Akira girlfriend" could be.
When had they ever t Akira girlfriend?
*****
The City Love City – Ai-ai
Love City – Ai-ai was a city perfectly suited for romance, where romantic encounters could happen in every corner. Not only was it ideal for singles seeking love, but it was also a great place for couples to visit.
Ai-ai was one of the cities located toward the later parts of Greed Island map.
After traveling nearly everywhere, Akira and nchi had finally arrived here.
Standing on the observation deck of a castle, Akira and nchi quietly took in the city bustling scenery.
True to its romantic the, the city dominant color was pink.
Pink hearts floated in the sky, each adorned with a simple smiling face. The architectural style was unique, with red bricks everywhere, giving the city a fairy-tale-like atmosphere.
Not just the houses and castles—even the ground and roads were paved with uniform red bricks.
Here, you could stumble upon an intellectual yet absent-minded beauty searching for her glasses on the street at any mont, helping her search for it could lead to a beautiful encounter.
One might also co across a delicate beauty surrounded by thugs—stepping in to save her could spark a lovely eting.
This place seed to perpetually play out scenes straight from a romance manga, just waiting for a protagonist to appear.
Observing it all from a high vantage point, as if from a god perspective, held a peculiar charm.
"Hm?"
Sensing the sudden notification of an incoming Communication, Akira imdiately summoned his book.
His movent caught nchi attention.
Soone was using [Contact] on Akira?
"Akira, do you have a mont?"
Biscuit Krueger crisp voice rang out from the book, instantly recognizable.
Since [Contact] had a three-minute ti limit, Biscuit got straight to the point.
"I do." Now both of them knew the caller was Biscuit.
"It really is Akira!"
Hearing that familiar voice, Gon couldn't help but shout excitedly.
Gon, huh...
Gon voice reached Akira side as well, giving him an idea of what Biscuit call might be about.
Sure enough, Biscuit next words were an invitation for Akira and nchi to co assist them.
Neither had any objections—they might as well treat it as a chance to have so fun.
"Alright then. Once you gather the remaining mbers, we'll use [Accompany] to join you."
Recalling Razor approach in the original storyline, Akira paused briefly before adding.
"Don't stress too much about the other participants. Even if you pick so diocre ones, it'll be fine."
"And there's no need for any special training either."
"Eh?"
"Why's that?" Biscuit vaguely grasped the key point but couldn't quite piece it together until Akira briefly explained.
After so thought, the group realized things would likely unfold just as Akira had said. Gon and the others found his reasoning convincing and nodded in agreent.
Moreover, even if Razor sensed the danger and abandoned his dodgeball strategy in favor of individual matches, Akira could still deploy his Pokemon to secure victory.
After all, in the original plot, Razor had used his own Nen beasts as teammates, proving they were valid participants.
With Akira—a top-tier fighter—now on their side, the group confidence soared.
Defeating Razor and obtaining [Plot of Beach] suddenly seed like an easy task.
Following Akira advice, Gon and the others quickly assembled the required team.
Since they only needed to pay a small appearance fee, the process cost them almost nothing—no ti, no real effort.
In less than two days, Gon group was ready to challenge Razor again.
*****
Port City - Soufrabi.
Here, Gon and the others waited for their most powerful ally—Akira.
"He's here!" Biscuit narrowed her eyes at the sky, her voice brimming with anticipation.
As she spoke, two streaks of light, like shooting stars, descended before the group.
"Yo, long ti no see." When the light faded, Gon and the others saw Akira greeting them.
"It's really, really Akira!"
Even though they had spoken beforehand, the mont Akira truly appeared before them, Gon couldn't contain his excitent.
In contrast, Killua beside him remained far calr, but it was clear that both of them had great confidence in Akira.
After greeting Akira, the two also turned their attention to the woman beside him.
'So this is Akira girlfriend?'
Looking at nchi face, Gon frowned slightly, appearing deep in thought.
"Um... Have we t sowhere before?" Gon had only seen nchi once during the Hunter Exam and wasn't very familiar with her. He genuinely couldn't rember where he'd seen her before.
Instead, it was Killua who suddenly recalled their previous encounter, saying with slight surprise.
"Gon, she was one of the examiners during the Hunter Exam!"
"Oh right! The gourt examiner!"
With Killua reminder, the oblivious Gon finally rembered where he'd seen nchi.
'But... How did an examiner suddenly beco Akira girlfriend?'
"Not bad, I'm surprised you still rember ." nchi smiled faintly, sowhat amazed that the two kids could recall her.
Only then did Gon and Killua understand why Biscuit had said they'd t before—she really hadn't been lying to them.
With the group finally assembled, they marched in force toward the challenge location.
In no ti, they arrived at the gymnasium beneath the lighthouse.
This was where Razor and his pirates usually stayed.
"Oh? Coming back for another challenge so soon?" The squinty-eyed Razor showed a hint of surprise on his face, spinning a volleyball on his fingertip.
"Mr. Razor, this ti we're here to win" Gon said with determined eyes.
With Akira help, he was sure of victory this ti.
Razor didn't respond, only a flash of disappointnt crossing his eyes.
From their previous performance, he'd thought Ging son would co up with sothing better.
Could he really be this impatient?
This thought had barely ford when Razor dismissed it. Because from the crowd, he sensed an extraordinary presence.
"Seems you've found so powerful backup~" Razor smiled.
Though his words were directed at Gon, his eyes remained fixed on Akira.
This person... is strong.
Just the aura inadvertently radiating from Akira deanor made Razor muscles tense instinctively, putting him in combat readiness.
The last ti he'd encountered soone of this caliber... Was Ging.
'So they brought soone on Ging level?'
'Looks like I'm the underdog now huh?'
Since Razor spent all his ti on Greed Island, mostly engaged in sports activities, he had little exposure to the outside world.
Thus, he didn't recognize Akira identity.
As Razor observed Akira, Akira was also sizing up Razor.
Razor identity was quite special—a forr murderer.
To put it nicely, he'd been "recruited" by Ging.
To put it bluntly, he'd been conscripted as labor.
Soone who caught Ging attention naturally had remarkable strength. With those muscles, no one would believe he was an Emission-type. His appearance looked more Enhancent than actual Enhancent-types!
As an Emission user, Razor possessed not only astonishing strength comparable to Enhancent types but also an exceptionally deep reserve of Aura.
According to the original story, all Emission-related things on Greed Island was powered by Razor Aura.
Though corresponding Restrictions and Vows reduced most of the consumption, it still demonstrated Razor imnse Aura capacity.
A worthy target to harvest experience points from.
"Since that's the case, let's begin. The first match—"
"Hold on a mont." Before Razor could finish, Akira interrupted him.
"Is there sothing you'd like to say?"
Razor was also curious to hear what this unusual individual had in mind.
"Mr. Razor, there are three rules for this competition."
"First: fifteen matches in total, with the first to win eight declared the victor."
"Second: each participant can only appear once."
"Third: the content of the matches is determined by your side."
"Are these three rules correct?"
As Akira laid out each point, the smile on Razor face grew increasingly profound.
"Correct, those are the only three rules." Razor openly acknowledged this, ntally preparing to start the dodgeball match imdiately.
"Excellent. Then for the first seven matches, our seven-mber team concedes." Akira pointed at the motley crew he had temporarily gathered nearby, his tone laced with amusent.
"Voluntarily conceding, huh..."
"Very well. Then the final match will be—eight-player dodgeball."
Akira straightforwardly admitted defeat, causing Razor to hesitate briefly before ultimately settling on the originally planned eight-player dodgeball match.
Seeing events unfold exactly as Akira had predicted, Gon and the others couldn't help but smile.
Their expressions radiated absolute confidence.
In one-on-one matches, with the restriction that each person could only appear once, the outco might have been uncertain. But since this was a team event, there was no need to worry about victory or defeat—whichever side Akira was on would naturally win.
This move effectively simplified the complex rules into a single decisive match.
"Quite impressive. But the real challenge begins now."
Razor slowly walked onto the volleyball court, releasing thick waves of Aura from his body.
In an instant, eight dense clusters of Aura materialized around him, the sheer volu of Aura leaving everyone awestruck.
The eight Aura clusters descended onto the floor, transforming into glowing rings.
One after another, humanoid Nen beasts composed of Aura erged from the rings.
The Nen beasts varied in size, each marked with a number from 0 to 7 on their chests.
"These will be my teammates for the match!" Razor gestured to the Nen beasts beside him, his lips curling slightly.
anwhile, Nen beast Zero stepped aside to assu the role of referee.
"Oh? What a coincidence—mine are Nen beasts too."
