Gift × Conflict

August 1, 2001.

This is a day destined to be recorded in history.

History will remember this day.

Because from ancient times to the present, there has never been a moment like this.

Even though there were undercurrents and conspiracies swirling within, and even though the Kakin Empire, as the initiator, only intended to use this as a pretext to achieve its own goals.

But ultimately, nothing could diminish the brilliance of that moment.

This is yet another chapter in human history.

Heading to the New Continent.

To witness this moment, the harbor has been completely transformed into a massive observation deck.

A densely packed crowd sat in their respective seats, gazing into the distance at the enormous ocean Mail Steamer on the sea—the largest ever built to record history.

B·W1.

This is a round, whale-shaped Mail Steamer.

Facing this enormous cruise ship.

The giant airships circling the sky for filming looked like seagulls.

The very top of the cruise ship.

On the first deck.

Kevin stood there, gazing at the beautiful scenery and feeling the sea breeze.

"Call out!"

A sound like something cutting through the air.

A figure fell from the sky, plummeting vertically, but landing gently on the ground.

It was Netero, dressed in a loose white robe, who appeared to have aged somewhat.

Clearly, the Chimeric Ant war that took place more than a year ago was an irreversible loss for Netero.

The hair that had been cut off has grown back.

And those intact limbs.

"Kid, is there something you want to say before you leave? That you made me make a special trip for you?"

As he spoke, Netero's face showed a very dissatisfied expression.

Do they even know how busy he is right now?

"I kindly prepared a Gift for you before you left, but with your attitude, I feel awkward giving it to you."

Kevin leaned against the fence, chuckling.

Netero raised an eyebrow and leaned closer.

"Looks like you've got me cornered. The only thing I want from you is the potion, isn't it?"

"So, what kind of medicine is it?"

Seeing Netero's inquisitive expression, Kevin revealed a wicked smile. Staring at Netero, his madness was undisguised.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Like a deafening roar, an invisible force began to emanate outwards from Kevin as the origin.

Everyone on the ship seemed to vaguely sense something.

The King of the Kakin Empire, who was being interviewed, paused for a moment before being reminded by the reporter in front of him. He then smiled and continued answering.

This ship is full of hidden talents, with Nen user everywhere.

But at this moment, they all understood.

There's a "monster" on this ship.

Only Biscuit and the others rolled their eyes.

"Why are you suddenly showing off now?"

Facing this imposing aura, Netero narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists.

He was suppressing his fighting instincts.

"Good lad! Good! You actually broke through the limit!"

Netero's aura surged uncontrollably. Before that, during the battle with the Ant King a year ago, Netero had clearly sensed something different about Kevin.

For a powerful Nen user like him who had reached the pinnacle of his Nen ability, the slight discord in Kevin's appearance was naturally very noticeable.

Despite being Enhancement Type, his physical attributes don't even come close to those of Enhancement Type.

Even if you've reached your limit, you're still a step away from being a genius.

However, he was ultimately a talent who had reached the pinnacle.

I can't believe it's been a year since we last met.

Kevin actually broke through his peak, and with absolute force, he forcefully shattered the limits of both his mental power and physical body.

This is different from the peak that Netero broke.

After reaching his peak, Netero himself tried to break through, but it was all in vain.

This is the overall structure of the human body, determined by human genes; the human body has its limits.

While talent may fluctuate, those who reach the pinnacle are essentially not that different.

It's just a minor difference between individuals.

Under these circumstances, he could only explore the human will and break through to the peak in another way.

Kevin clearly used his powerful flying technique for a direct breakthrough.

And it was successful.

"Here, take it, old man."

Kevin suddenly flung out a vial of medicine.

Netero quickly caught it.

Looking at the potion in his hand, an overwhelming desire surged through his body.

This is not just a characteristic of the drug.

It was his intuition that was driving him wildly.

His intuition told him that this was what he wanted, what he had always dreamed of.

The hand holding the medicine trembled incessantly, not from force, but from sheer willpower.

Kevin didn't say anything more to Netero, and they simply brushed past each other and continued on their way.

When Netero came to his senses, Kevin was no longer there.

"What was your purpose in leaving Netero with that last dose of medicine?"

Melusina, who was waiting below, took Kevin's hand, and the two walked and talked.

Kevin looked at him with a smile, his tone tinged with pleasure.

"After what happened with the Kakin Empire, that old man finally lifted the restrictions on exploring the Dark Continent. How can we let him have it so easily?"

Understanding the structure of a drug will tell you.

After breaking through the limit, the body can then feel that seemingly boundless limit again.

For a martial arts fanatic like Netero, once he achieved a higher level of improvement, he naturally couldn't resist.

But this time it's not that simple.

At least in human society, the methods used to be for quick and effective exercise are no longer feasible.

Netero is undoubtedly a genius.

The reason he enjoys such a high reputation is largely because he has integrated and standardized Nen ability.

For Nen user, the Water Divination is undoubtedly a great invention.

The same applies to various Nen ability techniques.

From this, you can understand Netero's creative abilities as a martial arts master.

Even at his peak, he could completely alter his Nen ability through willpower to break through to the next level.

Now that there are even more unattainable limits, the old man's creativity will rise once again.

And if Kevin successfully returns...

Kevin will use the results of the Dark Continent for his own benefit.

At that point, it will be a truly exaggerated display of force.

Netero will truly experience what the limits of humanity are, and strive to promote and utilize the achievements of the Dark Continent.

This became Netero's only option, and he had to devote himself entirely to it.

It's a very simple hook.

Even if Netero could understand it in an instant, he would still willingly start his engine.

At that moment Pairo walked over.

For them, both the first and fifth floors are unobstructed.

"Uncle, there's an important meeting that requires your attendance; it's organized by the International Voyage Bureau."

Upon hearing this, Kevin nodded.

This meeting cannot be cancelled.

They took Melusina with them and made their way to the third floor.

Many central Hub and Meeting Room for various institutions are located on this floor.

After passing through layers of Blockade, we arrived at the heavily guarded Meeting Room.

Kevin brought Melusina in.

It immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"You just got into a fight with that old man up there?"

Kim, with his feet slammed unceremoniously on the table, looked at Kevin as he walked in and asked...

Everyone just felt it.

"No, I'm not like you. I still respect the elderly and care for the young."

Kevin said, pulling out a chair and sitting down.

"What do you mean? I'm asking you what you mean?!"

These words seemed to provoke Jin, causing him to clench his fist and shout in dissatisfaction.

Kevin ignored him.

Since they're already on the ship, even if they manage to hide here, they can't escape Gon's search for his father once they reach the Imaginary New Continent.

It seems Jin understands that a meeting with Gon is inevitable, and he's starting to feel anxious and conflicted.

"Haha, you must be Kevin!"

A bold and resounding voice rang out.

Kevin looked down at the tall figure sitting on the large bench.

Judging from his facial features, one can see the resemblance to Netero, especially the aura he exudes.

"Didn't you consider the consequences of the Chimeric Ant incident?"

These words were spoken.

The entire meeting suddenly fell silent.

"As a result of?"

By Beyond sat up straight and stared blankly at Kevin.

Kevin just watched him quietly.

"For my ambition!" He stretched out his hand and clenched it tightly. "Everything can Sacrifice, including myself!"

As he spoke, he raised both hands.

"I will eventually die within my ideals."

That aura was undeniably terrifying, and the words spoken were utterly truthful.

At this moment, Pariston, who was sitting next to Heng Yangling with a smiling face, suddenly spoke.

"If Mr. Kevin hadn't interfered, that incident would have been resolved perfectly."

Although Pariston did not intentionally guide Kevin's involvement, he did not try to stop him after learning of Kevin's involvement.

However, Pariston certainly didn't expect that Kevin's involvement in that incident would cause such massive damage.

It almost completely destroyed the result Pariston wanted.

Netero did not die; the Association remains under his control.

They gained nothing, and didn't even derive any happiness from each other.

Only the initial, main goal of Heng Yangling was barely achieved.

Melusina, who was sitting next to Kevin, suddenly picked up the pen next to her and threw it away.

The pen tip was aimed at Pariston, instantly slicing through the air and crashing into him with a heavy Nen Aura of Nen.

Pariston instantly grabbed the notebook beside him, channeled his Nen Aura, and used it as a shield to try and block.

However, the Nen Aura emanating from the pen exceeded my expectations, piercing right through the Nen Aura I was using for defense and passing right through the notebook.

With Heng Yangling right there, it was impossible for him to watch Pariston, or for his own people to be injured by servants right beside him.

Suddenly, he reached out his hand, as fast as lightning.

He grabbed the pen directly, and the Nen Aura on it was dispersed by the impact, but the pen itself was not damaged.

He grabbed it and swung it back.

This time it was faster, and the Nen Aura wrapped around it was even thicker.

"Pencils must not be left lying around."

It flew over in the blink of an eye.

As Melusina reached out to take it, Kevin reached out and blocked her, then took the pen himself.

He caught the pen as easily as he normally would, and flicked it back with his other hand.

"Call out!"

It was so fast that it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Bang!"

It landed where it was supposed to land.

With a loud crash, Pariston was violently thrown back, his entire body flying backward, the stool he was sitting on shattering and slamming into the wall.

Because the ship was made of gold cannons, even the walls were made of gold cannons, it was dented by the impact.

"Cough cough!"

Pariston slid to the ground, clutched his chest, coughed, and spat out some blood.

Unable to block the attack, Heng Yangling's face darkened. Without hesitation, she got up, clenched her fist, and flew towards Kevin's direction.

Kevin is certainly not weak.

Just as their fists collided.

An aura instantly pressed down on the surrounding area.

A piercing whistle rang out, startling the two men into a halt.

The man dressed in a black and white stand-up polo shirt held out a red card.

"Please calm down, both of you. This is an important oath-taking ceremony regarding the exploration of the Dark Continent."

The two exchanged a glance, withdrew their hands, and sat back down in their seats.

That punch just now made both of them realize each other's true strength.

Kim sat beside him like a spectator, not even flinching, but instead tilting his head to look at Pariston with schadenfreude.

Watching the other person clutch their chest and stand up again, their expression pale but still smiling, they dragged out another chair and sat back down.

"It's a real shame you're still alive."

"I want to die too, but I'm a little short."

Pariston said with a chuckle.

Jin withdrew his gaze and instead looked at Kevin, saying, "Killing such a disgusting guy with loathing and anger will only make him die happily. Only by completely crushing him from all sides can we truly feel satisfied."

However, Kevin clearly wouldn't accept Kim's theory, and sat back down in his seat, stating very bluntly.

"The so-called killing is simply a way to vent one's hatred and dispel one's disgust and anger. Even if one dies happily, it will not affect the effect of killing."

"It's like swatting an annoying fly; whether it's dead or not isn't important, what's important is that the annoying noise is gone."

These words made Jin raise an eyebrow and couldn't help but tap his chin.

"It seems our philosophies and ideas are indeed different."

The conflict thus subsided.

As the host of the oath-taking ceremony, the bespectacled young man couldn't help but take out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

This is not what I expected.

Weren't these Nen users and Hunter x Hunter doing their jobs well before? How come there's suddenly such a big conflict?

He couldn't help but exhale, compose himself, and coughed.

"Then, let me tell you about some of the rules that need to be followed during this exploration of the Dark Continent."

The meeting resumed on its main topic.

Various kinds of materials were distributed to everyone's hands.

Kevin picked up the documents on the table and glanced at them.

The above are categorized into different sections.
