Becoming a Gadget Master Starting from Hunter x Hunter

"She might not necessarily live here; perhaps she was just passing through or taking a break, which is how we encountered her."

Pakunoda kicked at a crumpled piece of paper blown in by the wind.

She doubted Morin's words but also showed ample respect to her second-in-command.

"Let's go inside."

Morin was the first to open the Finding Person Umbrella, and the arrow indicator on it clearly reacted more intensely.

This also indicated they were getting closer to their target.

The rundown town felt like a Western town from the Lighthouse Country, and naturally, it had the town's iconic tavern.

And at this moment, inside the tavern.

The tavern, which was usually very lively, even excessively noisy, was now eerily quiet for once.

Actually, it wasn't that there were no sounds at all.

"Gulp?"

In the tavern, a group of drunkards occasionally swallowed.

Their gazes were either evasive, or bold, or perhaps very direct, greedily looking at a petite figure sitting at the bar.

"After all this effort, wasting so much time, and there's no gem in the ruins like I heard before."

The petite figure kicked her legs idly, pouting, her elbows resting on the bar, her gloved hands supporting her chin.

"The gem that was passed down for generations on the crown of the king of the now-vanished Kingdom of Kadra, I heard it was in the ruins near this town, but there was nothing at all~??"

She lamented unhappily.

Two small golden braids hung down from her head, her eyes as beautiful as if they belonged to an anime character.

She was wearing a loose, red princess dress, as exquisite as a delicate porcelain doll!

And judging by her age, she looked like a cute loli just over ten years old!!

a

050 It seems the commotion was quite large.

In this rundown little town, the appearance of such a lovely person was simply impossible.

But it was happening in reality, making the drunkards in the tavern feel as if they were in a dream.

[What should we do?]

[She finally came, how can we let her get away?]

[I know that, of course! I meant how do we split her?]

[The first share naturally goes to the boss, and we follow behind, based on our drinking capacity, in order.]

[Alright!!]

A group of people in the tavern, who clearly looked like bad guys, exchanged glances and quickly reached a decision, agreeing on something.

And the porcelain doll loli, sitting at the bar and kicking her little feet, seemed completely unaware of all this.

Or perhaps, even if she noticed, she didn't care?

And just as the atmosphere in the tavern was becoming increasingly subtle.

When the guys who had been exchanging glances were slowly standing up?

BOOM!

A sudden explosion came from outside the tavern.

Startling everyone inside the tavern.

Except for the little loli in the princess dress, who remained seated there calmly.

BANG!

CRACKLE!!

After the explosion, there was a violent tremor.

Tables shook, and bottles and glasses fell to the ground.

The tavern immediately became lively, with people discussing:

"What's going on? Was that an earthquake?"

"How is that possible! We've never had an earthquake here!!"

"Then what was that?

An explosion and a tremor?"

"Could it be... the gasoline explosion that the boss outside bought?"

One of the thugs who stood up seemed to remember something and suddenly said.

"O... Oh, that's possible!!"

The group was silent for a moment, then immediately rushed out of the tavern.

However, as soon as they stepped outside, they felt their steps falter.

Their bodies immediately fell to the ground.

At the same time, all their muscles tensed, and goosebumps instantly appeared on their skin.

"What's happening..."

Those who rushed out fell one after another, like dumplings being thrown into boiling water, all sprawled on the ground.

They didn't want to do this, but...

Feeling the pressure descend upon them, as if they were being stared at by some peerless ferocious beast, the group lay there, heads bowed low, trembling.

"It seems I've made quite a commotion..."

Morin looked around at the environment, saying this aloud, but the malevolent Nen he was emitting showed no signs of stopping.

"Hey, I say..."

Morin casually dangled a tall, burly man with a bald head covered in frightening black tattoos from one of his hands.

"Are you the boss of these people? Are they your underlings?"

The boss, who felt the malevolent Nen most intensely at close range, was already foaming at the mouth and barely conscious.

Even if he were still lucid, He would understand by now

That he had provoked someone he shouldn't have and would immediately faint from fear.

The scum of this town were greedy and saw the princess-like porcelain doll in a dress at the tavern as prey. Let alone Pakunoda, who was by Morin's side, wearing a stunning outfit and possessing an incredibly hot figure.

As soon as the two entered the town, they were immediately targeted.

Without dwelling on the rest, in short, the leader of the town's bully gang—this bald man held by Morin—arrived arrogantly with his subordinates.

He said many unspeakable things, with undisguised lewd grins on his face.

Then... there was no then.

The group of ordinary thugs, relying on their height and strength, naturally met their end.

As for the tremor and explosion just now?

"As expected, this thing is still not very handy."

Morin wielded a pickaxe in his other hand, swinging it back and forth.

Item: Power Iron Pickaxe

Effect: When using this power pickaxe to dig a hole, it will multiply your strength by a hundred times with very little effort.

Well, as the name suggests, this is a tool suitable for digging holes.

This item was drawn from a lottery in a town they had gathered in previously, along with the Finding Person Cane and Finding Person Umbrella.

In Morin's opinion, it didn't seem very useful.

When it came to digging holes, throughout the entire Hunter x Hunter world, only Gon and Killua dug their way from the card city of Maserra to the canyon during their training on Greed Island.

And now that a group of troublemakers had appeared, Morin had specifically taken them to test the effect of this Power Iron Pickaxe.

Furthermore, fearing that the force might not be enough, Morin had specifically infused it with Nen and used half of his strength.

Then he swung it down hard into the ground.

The result...

With a single swing of the pickaxe, he created a massive pit in the ground.

This pit, in turn, seemed to have destroyed the foundations of many nearby houses.

As a chain reaction, these houses collapsed with a roar.

And one of the houses seemed to have contained gasoline or something, which coincidentally triggered a huge explosion.

Thus, with just a swing of his pickaxe, Morin had destroyed half the town.

Speaking of which, this sin was no lighter than the uproar caused by Feitan and Uvogin in the previous city.

"Who cares?"

Morin shook his head and casually tossed the bald boss he was dangling into the bottomless pit created by the Power Iron Pickaxe in front of him.

051 Biscuit

As the saying goes, barren mountains and foul waters breed wicked people.

This small town was pretty much as expected.

Clearly, under the leadership of the bald man, this was a town rife with sin.

"Are you alright?"

Morin looked at Pakunoda, who had been hiding to the side and quietly watching the show for a long time.

"I'm fine."

She shook her head, just looking at the pit in the ground.

A trace of surprise inevitably flashed across her delicate face.

"Just an iron pickaxe unleashing such power..."

Pakunoda suddenly felt that Morin was like a treasure chest, capable of producing many incredible things.

She never knew what he would pull out next, as if he was filled with surprises every moment, exuding mystery from head to toe.

What she thought would be a monotonous journey of practicing Nen abilities together now seemed to have suddenly become vibrant and colorful.

"This thing isn't really suitable as a weapon, is it?"

After thinking about it, Morin put the Power Iron Pickaxe away.

Within the Phantom Troupe, almost everyone had a weapon, except for Uvogin and Phinks.

Nobunaga and Feitan were swordsmen, Pakunoda and Franklin used guns and Nen bullets, Shalnark used his phone, Hisoka used playing cards, Machi used threads, and Phinks conjured planets.

Chrollo traveled the world with his stolen book, absorbing countless abilities and Nen weapons.
