First Meeting with Ging × Battle with the Zodiacs

Roy Zoldyck, 12 years old, is skilled with a knife and possesses extraordinary Swordsmanship talent; he is suspected to be an "Enhancement"...

"His performance on the Poseidon was outstanding; he once practiced his swordsmanship while enduring a storm, and later repelled a ' Conjuration ' Nen user Pariston, ranking first in the points battle..."

"After the town of Q&A, we encountered a family of Kiriko, which manifested a crow-shaped Nen Beast and set the forest ablaze, seemingly a ' Emission..."

"At the official venue, he encountered an illusion. Due to missing data, it's impossible to ascertain exactly what he did. Then... came the battle with Botobai Gigante... There are video recordings... He once displayed a similar ability to 'imitate,' able to Transformation into the appearance of others through contact, possibly a ' Transmutation..."

"In conclusion, I have ample reason to suspect that he is essentially a ' Specialization ' Nen user, capable, for some reason, of fully utilizing at least the 'Enhancement,' 'Conjuration,' and ' Transformation ' powers, or... more..."

On the Yorbian the continent of Eurubian, in the seaside city of Vibis, atop a cliff overlooking the sea.

Elena, her blonde hair tied in pigtails, stared at the screen in front of her, Browse the intelligence she had gathered and reporting to her superiors... Not far in front of her, a man wearing a tattered hood and sporting a stubble beard was fishing by the sea. His fishing rod was adorned with a red bead, and he listened silently to the woman's analysis without uttering a word.

"Am I wrong?" Elena pushed up her blue-light glasses perched on the variable. She knew Jin; he wasn't the type to be direct. He had a rather indecisive personality. If he didn't quite agree with or approve of something, he would usually remain silent rather than directly refuse. Instead, he would most likely be thinking about how to say it.

Everything else is fine, except for one condition...

The float pulled the red bead downwards, and at the right moment, the man grabbed the fishing rod and pulled it up sharply. A huge flying fish struggled and was flung into the sky. When it fell, it hit a huge rock on the cliff. The fish's eyes rolled back and it was stunned on the spot.

Jin was quite satisfied with Flying Fish's physique and was thinking of making fish soup for Vivian to nourish her. A sudden gust of sea breeze lifted his hood, but he quickly pressed it down, shushing her and saying, "All departments ultimately point to 'special qualities'."

In other words...

Elena pondered, "Roy Zoldyck isn't a 'trait,' but rather one of 'Enhancement,' ' Conjuration,' or ' Transmutation '?"

"I didn't say he wasn't a ' Specialization '." Jin cast a beautiful line, causing the float to move and the red bead to sink back into the sea. He said softly, "Elena, I just wanted to tell you..."

"What makes a person powerful is not their department, but their character."

Jin's gaze was deep and unfathomable as he looked at the sunlight shimmering on the sea. He said in a profound voice, "Whether it's you, me, or even Roy Zoldyck, we are all independent individuals, all different. Strictly speaking, because we are 'different,' we are 'special,' therefore, we are all ' Specialization '..."

"We simply showcase our strengths and differentiate ourselves into various departments."

"That's a very interesting theory. Where did you see it?"

"Couldn't it be my own summary?"

Jin tilted his head and met Elena's skeptical gaze, which seemed to ask, "Do you think I believe you?" He sighed rather "hurtfully" and said, "Well, it was my ancestor who said it."

"Don Freecss?"

"Um."

Jin turned his head away, clearly unwilling to say more.

The matter involved the Don Freecss... <New Continent Travelogue> and that legendary unknown land - the Dark Continent. Even though Elena was curious, she stopped talking in time, thoughtfully playing with a strand of hair hanging by her ear, until...

At 10:00 a. m., a yellow taxi stopped on time on a bumpy road near the cliff.

The car door opened, and two people got out.

The two, who had been silent, turned to look. A Sun-Earring Boy with shoulder-length black hair, a slender, snow-white katana at his waist, and a cane in his hand, walked forward. Though only twelve or thirteen years old, his figure resembled that of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old. Behind him followed closely a butler with a thick beard and gold-rimmed glasses, his expression slightly melancholic, yet his gaze sharp and piercing...

Elena glanced up again at the "Fat Chicken" perched on the Sun-Earring Boy's head... This man, the butler, and the fat crow were the very people he had been waiting for!

A crow's cawing broke the tranquility of the seaside...

As Roy's physique improved step by step, Little Gold's body also became noticeably rounder. If you carefully parted its fine raven feathers, you could even see its third foot, which also protruded further outward than before.

[Little Gold: Three-Legged Golden Crow]

[Status: Juvenile (15000/100000)]

[Position: S+]

[Manifested Aura: C(9640/100000)]

[Potential Aura:?]

[Racial Trait: Sun Chasing (to be activated)... Solar Flame Control: lv2 (5410/10000)... Chariot Driving (to be activated)]

[Evaluation: A growth-type Nen Beast with Infinite potential]

Roy Zoldyck.

Kim Freecss.

Before they got close... on the cliff edge, a Sun-Earring Boy and a young man exchanged a glance and called out each other's names.

Gotoh, carrying her luggage, squinted at Jin and whispered to Roy, "Young Master, this guy... seems to be more than he appears."

Since the butler's physique improved, leaping from D to C, his eyesight has also become sharper. He can discern certain things simply from the aura or presence a person exudes, which also proves that... Gotoh is no longer the weakling in the original work who could be easily toyed with and ultimately killed by Hisoka, but has truly transformed into... a strongman with one foot in the C-rank!

"Don't be nervous," Snow Walk beside him with Cane Sword in hand, while Golden Crow above the Sun-Earring Boy's head, as he strolled over...

Elena pushed up her glasses and made way for him, standing five or six steps behind Roy and Jin, one on each side of Gotoh.

"Finally, I've been waiting for you." Jin stood up, thrusting his fishing rod into the ground like a javelin, which stood firmly in the crevice of the rock. This single move demonstrated his extraordinary strength.

"Actually, you didn't need to wait for me." Roy pretended not to see Jin's first attempt at using his skills, brushed past the man's shoulder, and came to the edge of the cliff. He sat down cross-legged, flicked his Cane Sword, and used it as a fishing rod. Suddenly, a milky white Nen Thread appeared at the end, serving as the fishing line. In an instant, it crossed a height of nearly a hundred meters and plunged into the water... This control and use of "Nen" had obviously reached a level of proficiency, even... a hint of "freedom".

[Hint: The host's current Nen Ability Transformation level is: Iv2 (584/1000)]

[Note: Some progress has been made]

However... compared to Swordsmanship that has already reached level 4 and stepped into the realm of "Bankai," it's still far inferior... Roy, with his back to Jin, said, "To deal with Razor, with your level, you don't need anyone's help at all."

Jin sat down next to the Sun-Earring Boy and laughed, "Hookless Fishing? That's a good way to hone your Nen Ability."

He pulled down his hood, glanced at the Sun-Earring Boy out of the corner of his eye, picked up his fishing rod, and sat down next to Roy. With a hint of melancholy and reminiscence, he said, "You don't understand. Me... I've never liked being alone."

"Humans are social animals, not Magic Beast. Acting alone... is meaningless."

"Your son, Gon, doesn't think so." Roy's sudden remark struck Jin Xin like a hammer blow.

The man looked at the Sun-Earring Boy with surprise, then after a moment of self-reflection, his eyes gleamed with admiration as he said to Roy, "What a sharp [circle]! I thought you only used it to search for fish in the ocean, but I didn't expect it to also have the ability to 'read minds.' Zoldyck its name."

Mind reading... This person can use [Circle] to capture other people's thoughts? There's no record of this in the intelligence." After Jin Hou, Elena keenly sensed the abnormality. Her consciousness became focused, and she used "Nian" to shield herself from the wisp of Nen Qi that had passed by her. She glanced at Roy again, her gaze serious... Even Gotoh beside her glanced at him a few more times, noticing that he was expressionless and stood quietly behind the Sun-Earring Boy, like a rock, seemingly unaware of everything, yet also seemingly knowing everything, subtly increasing the other's "weight".

"My father-in-law told me not to act under the guise of the Zoldyck when I'm out and about... He'll be unhappy if you say that..."

"Hehehe..." Jin lowered his hat brim and chuckled, "Who is it? Is it that Zeno One Kill A Day, or someone else?"

Roy didn't answer, but instead pulled up a bighead carp, which flew out of the sea like a small boat. It looked... much bigger than the flying fish that King had just caught!

"It's a ' Gluttonous Whale,' these kinds of creatures are not easy to find in shallow waters," Jin said.

A giant fish leaped out of the sea, its enormous size blocking out the sunlight, casting vast shadows in its wake.

Just then, the Sun-Earring Boy asked, "Can I eat it?"

Jin shook his head. "No."

"The meat is too coarse; it's tough to eat."

Roy gave a soft "hmm," loosened his grip, and let the child fall into the sea, creating a wave. Without looking back, he fled in a panic, calmly saying, "My younger brother is about to be born. Before I left... Father specifically told me to hurry home, so... please hurry."

Jin: "Have you chosen a name yet?"

"Killua Zoldyck."

"Qi... is the same age as Gon," the man chuckled. "Maybe they'll become good friends in the future."

Become good friends, and then what? Go play the "Little Tadpoles Looking for Their Dad" The Game with Gon?

Roy recalled that in the original story, Guy and Gon went through many hardships to find Gold. While Gold was intended to train Gon, it also satisfied his perverse tastes.

He glanced at me indifferently...

Jin was baffled and scratched his face, asking, "Is there a problem?"

Roy withdrew his gaze and simply changed the subject, saying, "Let's talk about the prison break. What do you need me to do?"

Elena.

With her two golden ponytails swinging, Elena received a signal from the golden envoy and immediately laid out her pre-prepared action plan in detail, informing Roy and Gotoh.

In summary...

"You just need to hold off Yinda and buy me time to defeat Razor."

Jin stood up, tossed his fishing rod over his shoulder, and looked intently at the Sun-Earring Boy, asking, "Anything alright?"

Roy, leaning on his Cane Sword, stood up. "You'll be in charge of handling the aftermath of the prison break."

He reached out and, with a "snap," his hand grasped Jin's.

"It's a pleasure doing business with you."

"It's a pleasure doing business with you."

"Whoosh~" A sea breeze blew by, ruffling the hood and causing the Hanafuda Earrings to sway...

At 6:47 PM that day.

A van bearing the God Script "Detention" stamped on it, traveling from Vibis to Tbilisi Grand Prison in the suburbs, suddenly braked, leaving two long tire tracks on the uneven road.

The man, whose hands, feet, front, chest and back were tightly restrained by handcuffs, shackles, and chains, was sitting quietly in the carriage with his eyes closed and concentrating. Sitting across from him, a taller man with a fluffy afro and a naive face was dozing off when he suddenly woke up...

I had just stuck my head out of the car window when I heard several gunshots, followed by a loud shout that exploded in the sky!

"Keep an eye on the prisoners! Someone's trying to break out of prison!"

"Whoosh~" Two more car doors opened, and two more vans, which had sandwiched the van between them, suddenly filed out onto the road. A small team of heavily armed prison guards... Razor and Yinda, who was guarding him, heard the commotion and suddenly disappeared. The former abruptly opened his eyes... His narrow eyes immediately narrowed into slits as he keenly caught a trace of unusual Nen Qi.

[Dream Parasite]: Using "gaze" or "words" to Forced Hypnosis others, Roy and his group blocked the car, a faint gray mist rising in their eyes... Under the astonished gazes of Kim and Elena, the Sun-Earring Boy made no move, only saying, "Sleep."

"Thump... thump..." One by one, the prison guards who had surrounded him with guns suddenly met Roy's gaze. Hearing his ramblings, they felt a surge of sleepiness wash over them like a tidal wave, dragging them into an endless sea of sleep. One after another, their eyes rolled upwards.

They collapsed to the ground like dumplings being dropped into a pot!

Dreams or psychological suggestion... this method of forcibly hypnotizing others... doesn't seem like [Yuan]!

Jin's eyes flickered, and he took his hand out of his pocket. "Let's begin, there are three more!"

"Razor... Yinda... the other person..." As Jin finished speaking, a black curtain suddenly rose into the air, then descended, instantly forming a black dome that inverted on the ground, enveloping Jin, Roy, and their group, including the three vans...

Clearly, this was the third person's... Nen Ability!

"Young Master." Gotoh, following beside Roy, immediately pulled out the "Infinite Pistol," clicked the bolt back, and said in a deep voice, "The opponent seems to be a 'control type'!"

"He's yours." Roy noticed two figures, one large and one small, appear, with a squinty-eyed prisoner vaguely visible behind them.

The Sun-Earring Boy drew his twin swords with a clang, and in an instant, they turned red, ignited, and two raging flames shot out, slashing towards the largest of the two burly men...

The burly man, with his innocent-looking face, advanced instead of retreating, throwing a punch that instantly grew larger...
