Chapter Summaries

Chrollo, Machi, and Kalluto learned that Pariston had deliberately let Chrollo steal his ability, while Jing Yang realized Pariston had created Secret Room Swimming Fish to punish Okjeski. Their questioning was interrupted when Rui Wan confronted the Phantom Troupe and revealed a deadly Nen trap aboard the spaceship, leaving Jing Yang and Shizuku following Chrollo’s group toward the observation area.

• Machi questioned why Pariston would knowingly risk having his ability stolen, and Chrollo concluded that Pariston had never valued the ability he took.
• Pariston taunted Chrollo and explained that he had created Secret Room Swimming Fish to torment Okjeski, while Jing Yang privately judged Pariston to be disturbed.

• Chrollo led Machi and Kalluto toward the observation area, and Jing Yang silently asked Shizuku to cooperate before following them.

Chrollo, Machi, and Kalluto tried to escape Rui Wan’s Aura bombs by using Kalluto’s Gallery Fake to create a second airship. As Rui Wan died and his bombs detonated, Jing Yang’s attempt to save them left Kalluto marked by Flying Star Bubble and the original airship exploded.

• Jing Yang controlled Kalluto to copy Pariston throughout the airship, then grabbed Shizuku as Rui Wan died and the Aura bombs detonated, engulfing the airship in an explosion.

After the original airship exploded, Machi rescued Chrollo onto Kalluto’s copied airship, and they continued toward land while leaving Kalluto’s fate unresolved. Meanwhile, Jing Yang and Shizuku survived the blast among Pariston copies, but the falling wreck and mounting casualties threatened them.

• Machi bound Chrollo to the copied airship and brought him inside, saving him from falling into the sea.
• Chrollo reasoned that they should reach land first and contact Shalnark and the others before deciding what to do about Kalluto.

• Pariston regained consciousness amid countless dead copies of himself and realized Kalluto had used them to cushion the explosion.
• Jing Yang and Shizuku survived the blast under the Pariston copies, but Jing Yang sensed more passengers dying and used the Moon Mark to ask Shizuku if she was okay.

Jing Yang and Shizuku survived the crashing spaceship by having Kalluto copy ships and Pariston copies to cushion its fall into the ocean. After landing, they cleared the wreckage and used Star Marks to save the injured, leaving the survivors on a floating mass they called Pariston Island.

• Jing Yang told Shizuku that Kalluto would have to keep copying ships, and Kalluto created a stack of ships beneath the falling vessel.
• Kalluto’s copies cushioned the impact, leaving the wreckage and Pariston copies piled together on the ocean surface.

• Jing Yang and Shizuku stepped outside onto the floating mass of copies while Pariston watched the sea.

Jing Yang used Kalluto’s ability to help land the wrecked airship on an island made of Pariston duplicates, then dealt with the survivors and missing supplies. As the passengers finally found a signal, sharks gathered near the bloody shore, and Jing Yang realized he had left Rock Sparrow and the other birds behind on the airship.

• Jing Yang blasted Pariston duplicates into the sea, while Shizuku returned to the airship to watch over the survivors.
• Jing Yang woke Kalluto and used his Star Mark to make him follow, while deciding not to reveal more about his control ability by asking him to track Chrollo and Machi.
• Shizuku guarded the survivors as they searched for missing passengers; Jing Yang arrived with Kalluto and mentioned the missing sisters, Xiao Yun and her sister.
• Passengers who had secretly hoarded the airship’s food returned and were forced by Jing Yang to hand over the supplies and three lifeboats.
• The survivors discovered they had a phone signal, while Pariston pointed out sharks swimming beside the bloody shore and speculated about Jing Yang’s ability.
• Shizuku reminded Jing Yang that Rock Sparrow and the other birds were still in their room on the airship, and Jing Yang admitted he had forgotten them.

After the spacecraft crash, Jing Yang prepared the survivors to either wait for rescue or sail away on copied lifeboats, then departed with Shizuku, Kalluto, and Pariston. After a long search at sea, they reached an island that Pariston identified as Greed Island, where Ida sensed an intruder.

• Jing Yang had Kalluto copy lifeboats and food, warning the survivors that the copies would disappear within twenty-four hours.
• Jing Yang, Shizuku, and Kalluto set off in a lifeboat pushed by sharks, and Pariston invited himself aboard.

• At Greed Island, Ida sensed an intruder in the waters nearby.

Jing Yang, Shizuku, Kalluto, and Pariston reached Greed Island, where they encountered Razor, one of the game's developers. As Razor prepared to deal with them as intruders, Jing Yang insisted they were refugees who had drifted ashore.

• Jing Yang ordered the sharks to swim away and destroy the Star Marks in one another’s mouths, then he, Shizuku, and Kalluto swam ashore while Pariston joined them.
• Shizuku used her vacuum to remove water from herself and Jing Yang, then tried to spray Pariston with it.

• Jing Yang stopped Razor from acting and argued that the group were refugees who had drifted to the island, pointing to the lifeboat as evidence.

Jing Yang and Shizuku were about to be expelled from Greed Island when Jing Yang invoked a message from Ging Freecss’s disciple, making Razor pause. Pariston was expelled, Kalluto was badly injured while trying to escape, and Razor waited for Jing Yang to explain the message.

• Razor brought food and hot water to Jing Yang, Shizuku, Kalluto, and Pariston, then revealed that he planned to use the administrator spell card Expel on the outsiders.
• Jing Yang removed the Star Mark from Kalluto’s forehead, then realized Expel would send them to the Aizen Continent and pleaded with Razor to spare them.

• Jing Yang told Razor about the Ghost Island tomb, Ging’s message, Allantrail, and the airship crash that left Kalluto unconscious.
• Two burly men found Kalluto’s Spider tattoo and considered capturing him for the bounty, while Jing Yang explained how Kalluto’s ability had helped them survive the crash.
• Razor asked Jing Yang for Ging’s disciple’s message, but Jing Yang instead tried to avoid being sent to Aizen Continent.
• Razor asked whether Jing Yang had controlled Kalluto, then used an Exile card to send Jing Yang and Shizuku away from Greed Island.
• Razor reasoned that Jing Yang had understood the Exile card’s effects and released his control over Kalluto before the spell took effect.
• Razor’s men slapped Kalluto awake, and Kalluto saw Razor instead of Jing Yang.

• Jing Yang realized Razor had expelled him to a city and that Shizuku and Kalluto were no longer with him.
• Jing Yang contacted Shizuku through their rings, and they learned they had both arrived on the Africa Continent.
• Pariston appeared on the Aizen Continent, conjured his Silver Business Card Box, and discarded a card identifying him as a Greed Island visitor.
