The Rainbow Divine Tree: The Century-Ripened Sacred Fruit Appears

Everyone stared in awe.

Even the well-traveled Kurapika was momentarily stunned.

"Is this... a Rainbow Sacred Fruit?" Gon's eyes widened. "It's gorgeous."

Even Killua looked surprised.

"Something that ripens only once a century really is different."

Leorio rubbed his hands together, his face full of anticipation.

"I wonder what it tastes like..."

After a few steps, he looked back at Gon.

Silverback led the way.

The three hundred-odd Diamonds lined up on either side, clearing a path.

The six of them walked down the middle.

Like rulers inspecting their domain.

Leorio's legs felt weak as he walked
