Luo Ye questioned Beyond about the Dark Continent’s Five Great Calamities and turned their deadly effects into business ideas for his priority shopping list. As he left the holding room, the Black Whale shuddered from an unknown force in the ocean and sounded a red alert.

• Luo Ye entered Beyond’s holding room and asked him for a paid consultation about the Dark Continent.

• Luo Ye found Gon, Killua, and Shizuku bracing themselves in Suite One, then settled down to play his handheld game while the attack continued.

After a storm-driven hit ruined his perfect game run, Luo Ye jumped into Lake Mobius and drove off the sea monster with one punch. He returned to the Black Whale with two severed tentacles and ordered Gon and Killua to prepare a seafood feast.

• The Black Whale lurched during Luo Ye’s boss fight, causing him to lose his perfect run, and he decided to pick up a delivery.

• Morel called the expedition aboard the sealed exploration ship, and Luo Ye urged his companions to prepare for an intense push into new territory.
