In Palu's house.

A soft, yellowish light illuminated the Wallpaper House, where it was completely quiet and silent, devoid of any outside noise.

Ian and his group were all wearing their pajamas, lounging or sitting casually on the sofas.

Everyone was taken aback by Ian's question.

Then, Uvogin grinned widely.

"Haha, Ian, you finally couldn't resist bringing up the idea of building our team!"

"How about we call it the 'Strong Duo'? I've been thinking about it for a long time!"

Ian hadn't said anything yet.

Machi was wearing a big Rabbit pajama, frowned, raised her long bunny ears, and her face turned cold, indicating her refusal.

"No, that sounds awful!"

Nobunaga grinned mischievously, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"How about we call it the Rogue Alliance?"

"That's so unimpressive! It makes us sound like a bunch of vagrants!" Uvogin quickly objected.

Feitan leaned back on the sofa, expressionless, only stroking his Big Black Umbrella incessantly in his hand. Suddenly, he spoke out of the blue.

"Perhaps it should be called The Wound of the Black Umbrella..."

Everyone was taken aback when they suddenly heard someone who wasn't usually very active speak.

Their gazes first fell on the Big Black Umbrella in Feitan's hand, but the thought of the "explosive" pain and torment that umbrella would bring to the enemy made them silently look away, each with the same thought in their minds.

This name... absolutely must not be chosen!

Otherwise!

They will absolutely become the most notorious organization, bar none!!

At this moment, Franklin, unusually, raised his hand and bravely offered his opinion with a simple, honest smile.

"How about calling it the Firepower Phantom Troupe?"

Everyone shook their heads, none of them thinking much of the name.

Franklin, his large frame still erect, quietly sat back down in the small corner.

Pakunoda then spoke up.

"Ian, if you were to establish an organization, what goals would you hope this organization would achieve in the future?"

As expected of Pakunoda, she knows how to get to the point.

Ian gave her a thumbs up in his heart!

"We've left Meteor City, but that doesn't mean Meteor City has nothing to do with us anymore..."

Ian spoke slowly, then glanced at Chrollo.

He knew that, deep down, Chrollo actually missed Meteor City very much.

Or rather, although everyone present hated the barbaric rules of Meteor City, they also missed it in a certain way.

Because, having been abandoned by the world, they barely survived in Meteor City.

"This world is full of great organizations and great nations, but... they are irrelevant to us, their gaze has never been upon us..."

Upon hearing Ian's words, everyone fell into deep thought.

That's right...

They came to the outside world.

Only then did I realize how high the standard of living is for people living outside.

They had been to five-star restaurants and witnessed firsthand how wasteful people were of food there.

They also visited the slums at the bottom of society.

There, even the poorest beggar, if he can truly give up his bad habits and work diligently, can earn enough to fill his stomach.

And they are in Meteor City.

Working so hard only earns them enough food to barely fill their stomachs.

"I want to... change the order of this world..."

"Of course, not just Meteor City, but the whole place!"

"Gangs, V5, even those powerful organizations!"

"I want to overturn the ugly ecology of this world, so that people who want to live normal lives can have a safe environment where they don't have to worry about being robbed by gangs, exploited by tyrannical governments, or treated as toys by so-called big shots!"

"I think it's time for a ray of light to shine into this continent, and we are that light, the light of Dawn!"

Ian became more and more excited as he spoke, his little hands clenching tightly.

The thought of those so-called treasures and gems being put up for auction in the Dark World's underground auctions made him furious!

They're just a bunch of self-proclaimed superior perverts having fun.

He naively believed that the cause of these problems, besides human nature, lay in the lack of a positive environment to influence people.

The problem with this world is that it has never been unified!

You won't know how powerful something is until you've been repaired!

Small countries are in turmoil, while large countries are competing.

There is no absolute will, no authoritative voice, to tell people exactly what to do!

Ian doesn't consider himself particularly great.

He rejected moral blackmail, but he firmly believed that even if he became a dictator, he would be far more conscientious and principled than the current rulers!

Without his 4D Pocket ability, perhaps his goal could have been simply to live a simple life, become a powerful Nen Ability, and protect those around him.

However, now that we have the power to change the world...

Not letting the world obey his commands? Isn't that tantamount to not gaining any power at all!?

Therefore, for Ian, once the time is right!

He... is the emperor!

Morality should be left to morality, and power should be left to power.

And he is destined to become the absolute will of this Hunter World; he, Ian, represents justice, represents divine punishment!!

Of course, Ian did not reveal his later ambitions.

Or rather... it wasn't so much ambition as he believed he could achieve it.

After all, with the power of the 4D Objects, it wouldn't be a big problem for him to become the "Tiga" of this world and play the role of God in front of the world.

And at this very moment, upon hearing Ian's words...

Even Chrollo fell silent, murmuring softly.

"Dawn...?"

Ian's face tightened, but he nodded in agreement and quickly said...

"Chrollo is right. I think the name 'Dawn' sounds good and fits our team's mission. We want to bring light and hope to all those who cannot see the light!"

If everyone agrees, let's give a round of applause!

After saying that, she took the lead and clapped her hands very quickly!

What a divine assist, Chrollo!

I'm sorry to have put you through this, but we can't let you mention the Phantom Troupe again. We can't afford to go back to our old ways!

Although the others felt that the name "Dawn" was somewhat ordinary, they all applauded when they saw that Chrollo had proposed it and Ian had agreed.

Chrollo was taken aback, clearly not expecting Ian to be so cunning.

However, he simply chuckled and shook his head.

In his heart, he had actually thought of a name for the organization... Dawnlight.

Because, since they met Ian, they no longer seem to be a wandering Phantom Troupe.

Under Ian's guidance, they formed bonds with each other, and despite everything they went through, the team remained filled with laughter.

They no longer need to hide their identities, nor do they need to hide from the world like phantoms.

It was at this moment that Chrollo truly felt the meaning of the word "happiness" for the first time.

At the same time, he knew better than anyone else who brought it.

The only bond between the team is this young man who always creates "miracles"!

With him there, the team is there. He is irreplaceable, the one ray of light they need to protect, bringing extreme color to their gloomy lives.

Ultimately, one's own thoughts are selfish.

Ian, he is light, and he wants to bring hope to others; they shouldn't stand in his way.

All you need to do is stay by his side.

(Here's a question: Do you want the protagonist to become... an emperor?)
