One Day X Response

"Kiy, where do you think my dad could be?"

Gon leaned on the railing, looking at the sea and the blue sky reflecting it, and couldn't help but ask a question.

With his back to the sea, he slightly raised his head to look at the upper floors. Upon hearing this, he didn't even turn his head.

He simply said, "It must be on this ship. I asked Biscuit, and she said she had seen Kim before."

"She's definitely avoiding you on purpose, ugh, how wicked."

Kido indignant on Gon's behalf.

It was perfectly normal to be unable to find my father in the past, given how vast the world is.

But now that we're on this ship, he's deliberately avoiding us. It's really annoying; he's not even as good as his father.

Thinking of this, Qi couldn't help but recall the Zoldyck Family.

To be honest, he had initially considered sneaking away, but as his strength increased, he came to understand the power of those strong Nen user more and more.

He also felt that his father must know what he was going to do.

However, after sending his sister back, the house was unusually quiet, which surprised him.

He spent nearly a year training at the Nosra Manor, and no one came to stop him.

He had been on tenterhooks and had many contingency plans in mind.

It didn't work.

And so we followed them all the way out to sea.

Recalling this, Kiy said, "But don't expect to find him among so many people; after all, there are over two hundred thousand people on this ship."

This enormous ship is practically a small city.

Gon sighed.

Of course he knew.

Then he rallied his spirits and clenched his fist to encourage himself.

"It's alright, we'll meet eventually anyway, and then there'll be no way to avoid it."

Thinking of this, Gon smiled.

"Hmph, that's right. This ship will only take a little over two months to sail there, so we just need to wait a little over two months."

"Haha, let's go then, let's go on an adventure, this ship is huge!"

Gon perked up and said excitedly.

Upon hearing this, Killua immediately became interested.

"Then let's go quickly."

With that, the two of them immediately ran into the cabin.

Once on board, everyone was free to do as they pleased.

After all, Kevin's team members are all quite strong, so they don't need much attention.

Moreover, this is the last bit of free time on the journey; excessive training is pointless, and it's time to relax.

After all, they had already undergone rigorous training for nearly a year before this.

The members of the Exploration Team naturally understood this, so they all enjoyed themselves on the ship.

At this time.

A three-story gathering area.

--

This is a room specially arranged for Kevin and the others; it's their gathering place on the ship.

Although Kevin and his group also had rooms on the upper floors, those were mostly occupied by politicians and wealthy businessmen, so it wasn't very interesting.

Men Qi placed a pastry on the table, cut it, and distributed it to everyone.

She sat down next to Melusina and said, "Eat up, and see what you think of my dessert."

Buhaci, Men Qi, Melusina.

The culinary skills of these three individuals are undoubtedly among the best in the world.

The first two are renowned Gourmet Hunter, who would have reached the two-star level if they had disciples.

The latter is a member of the well-known Food Village.

However, although the three are all excellent cooks, they have different strengths.

For example, Buhaci is very skilled at making all kinds of meat products, especially roasted meat.

His specialty is cooking large portions of high-energy dishes, which is exactly the type he needs.

Men Qi excels in many areas and possesses exceptional talent in them.

However, he is mainly skilled in more traditional cuisine.

As for Melusina, there's no need to say more; her forte is all kinds of cakes and pastries.

Melusina scooped a little with her fork, put it in her mouth, tasted it carefully, and nodded in satisfaction.

However, there's no need to elaborate on the praise.

"If there's any flaw, it's probably that the ingredients weren't very fresh."

Hearing this, Men Qi sighed.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. There's not much fresh food on the ship, and it'll only get less in the future."

At this moment, Xiahara looked around.

Curious, he asked, "Where are Pairo and Kurapika? I haven't seen them since they boarded the ship."

Kevin took a sip of tea and said, "Those two are on the first floor, helping me with some things."

"What mischief are you up to this time?"

Men Qi became interested and asked curiously.

"Murder, a despicable Prince."

Hearing this, Men Qi raised an eyebrow. "So you're actually going to get involved in the Succession War? You really have a lot of energy; you haven't stopped moving even during these past few months on the ship."

After nearly a year of training, Men Qi just wants to relax for two months on the ship.

Taking this opportunity, Kevin leaned back in his chair and rubbed his chin, muttering with a hint of doubt.

"I'm wondering, what kind of items would be needed to successfully construct such an extravagant Succession Ceremony?"

"Furthermore, I have discovered that there is a clear partition between the top two floors and the bottom three floors; this partition is part of the Succession Ceremony setting."

As for what this information can prove, just think about it and you'll know.

The top two floors housed royalty, nobles, politicians, and wealthy families.

Although the top two floors are still spacious, the number of people on them is extremely small, less than a thousand.

And the three layers below.

However, the number of people is 200,000.

Upon hearing this, Men Qi frowned.

"You mean this Succession Ceremony is going to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of people below the second level? Could it be that this was their original intention, rather than actual colonization?"

Men Qi asked, somewhat shocked.

Because that is indeed a bit of an exaggeration, considering that this colonization was carried out on a very large scale.

With the world's attention focused on this, it's utterly outrageous to ask 200,000 people to be sacrificed under such circumstances.

This is extremely inhumane, and the consequences will be severe, absolutely devastating to the entire Kakin Empire.

The various influences are simply unstoppable.

"The Kakin Empire must have thought of this long ago. You know, although this is B·W1, B·W2 is actually already under construction. According to the timeline, it will definitely set sail later."

"If the Number One loses so many people, we can use technical reasons as an excuse, since everyone who boarded the ship signed a contract."

"There's a risk clause involved. If the second ship arrives safely, then those who perished on the first ship will become less important."

Moreover, at this point in time, the spread of risky public opinion must have already begun in the social atmosphere.

If these risky opinions are disseminated in a subtle and gradual way, many people can be given a preventative warning.

While it will certainly have some impact on the Kakin Empire afterward, such impact can be minimized.

King born through such an extravagant Succession Ceremony might possess extremely powerful abilities.

For the royal family of the Kakin Empire, exchanging 200,000 people for a powerful King was an absolutely worthwhile deal.

After discussing this topic, the people at the table fell silent.

"So what should we do? Are we just going to watch?"

Buhaci couldn't help but look up and ask, as the light fell on Kevin.

Everyone present was a member of the Nosra Manor, and they naturally knew Kevin's personality as the captain.

The other party will absolutely not stand idly by.

Not to mention so many people.

"Of course not, this Succession Ceremony will definitely be disrupted, without a doubt."

"I not only want to destroy it, but I also want to sever the foundation of this Succession Ceremony. Such heavy Resentment arose out of thin air on the ship, forming such a vast area."

"This couldn't possibly be achieved with some temporary setup; there must be some Resentment treasure at its core."

To be honest, Kevin was extremely confident that the Succession Ceremony could be disrupted.

Because it's very simple.

Melusina still has Little Wang inside her. What is Little Wang? He's a total Resentment killer. All Resentment is food for Little Wang, and he's powerless to fight back.

Even if Resentment is extremely powerful, can it be stronger than the creatures of the Dark Continent?

There may be some Resentment creatures stronger than Little Wang, but Little Wang is undoubtedly the nemesis of Resentment.

It is not difficult for the weak to defeat the strong.

As for the guardian Nen Beast we saw earlier, which were born with the Succession Ceremony and supplied with Nen Aura by those Prince.

Little Wang didn't even need to lift a finger.

Kevin himself can use his Resentment Poison abilities to do something.

It can only be said that the Kakin Empire accidentally ran into a brick wall this time.

Isn't this just putting himself in the line of fire?

It would be a disservice to their cooperation if we didn't fire a shot and severely damage them.

"There are still more than two months left, so there's no rush. After all, there are fourteen Prince fighting each other, so it won't be easy to reach a conclusion."

"Kurapika and the others should be here soon. With Pairo's abilities, gathering intelligence is a piece of cake. We just need to wait."

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open, Kurapika walked in.

I was taken aback for a moment when I saw so many people sitting around the table.

Then he understood.

He walked over and nodded slightly at Kevin.

"Uncle, we've gathered some intelligence, but more detailed information about the Succession War is difficult to discover through observation; we'll have to rely on verbal communication."

Kevin nodded and said with a smile, "That's enough. After all, the ship has only been sailing for a day, there's no rush."

With strength in hand, one naturally feels calm.

Kurapika nodded slightly and began to recount the information he had gathered.

"First of all, the bloodshed of the Succession War exceeded our expectations. Just yesterday, more than a dozen people died in the Prince's residential area."

Upon hearing this, everyone's brows twitched.

Is it really that exaggerated?

Is this the extent of the bloodshed in the struggle for the throne?

"One Prince nearly died, but Pairo intervened to some extent. However, this caused a problem; it seems that this intervention resulted in all the Prince obtaining information about Nen ability."

It can be said that all the Prince were constantly planting people among the other Prince, trying to gather all sorts of intelligence.

However, due to the guard system, the higher-ranking Prince were adept at gathering intelligence on the lower-ranking Prince.

Unfortunately, it was the Twelfth Prince who was assassinated, and it was also the Twelfth Prince who leaked the information. Naturally, this meant that almost all the Prince obtained the information.

The Thirteenth Prince is the younger brother of the Twelfth Prince.

Although the Fourteenth Prince was an infant, the most of his guards died; it could be said that all the deaths yesterday came from their side.

To be honest, Kurapika was a little angry at this scene.

It's hard to imagine that the first targets were defenseless infants and young, unloved girls.

Neither of these two poses any threat to the throne.

After all the information was laid out, the people at the table fell silent again.

There's a lot of intelligence; I need to think about it carefully.

"These Nen Beast, if nothing unexpected happens, should be automatic? They don't attack other Prince, but instead activate their effects on the guards of other Prince. It seems they have various restrictions."

After Biscuit said.

"They might even act differently depending on the Prince's various animosities and thoughts."

After all, there was no way to spy on the Fourth Prince, and that Nen Beast seemed extremely aggressive towards anything that tried to spy on it.

Of course, it could also be related to the effectiveness of the other party's product.

"However, the fact that these Prince possess Nen ability makes things interesting; the bloodshed in the battles will likely escalate even further."

Biscuit seemed to have thought of something and said with a hint of amusement.

Is there any explanation?

Men Qi asked curiously.

Biscuit nodded slightly. "In the Nen ability world, there is a very high probability that people in high positions can easily develop or awaken extremely powerful and exaggerated Nen ability."

"These beings are called [King's Vessel], and without exception, these Prince are all in high positions. If they obtain information about Nen ability and are willing to take risks, they might soon awaken Nen ability powerful enough to change the course of the battle."

"People in high positions are very clear about learning Nen ability, and if someone is a genius, they might even master it in a very short time."

Listening to everyone chatting, and as the conversation veered further and further off-topic, Kevin pondered for a while before making a decision.

He said to Kurapika, "You can try to find out what these Prince are thinking and what their situation is. This Succession Ceremony will affect us, and if it succeeds, the entire ship may be wiped out."

"So we have to stop it, or even destroy it, but after all, it's Succession Ceremony of the Kakin Empire, how can we be so easily influenced? So it would be best if a Prince cooperated with us."

"Take a look at these Prince and see who would be more suitable. After all, these Prince have all received a modern education, and some of them might be unhappy about this kind of blood feud."

"If not, then we'll have to resort to some extreme measures, but that's too crude and might cause some unforeseen problems."

Upon hearing Kevin's words, Kurapika nodded, his expression becoming somewhat serious.

If this Succession War is going to result in the deaths of everyone on the ship, then it must be stopped.

These high-ranking officials of the King truly don't value other people's lives at all.
