Chapter Summaries

A Luo was dragged into the fight between Hisoka and the Phantom Troupe and badly injured, while Hisoka stopped fighting and asked to join the group. The Spiders accepted him as Number Four and carried A Luo away before the police and ambulance arrived.

• Chrollo began an incantation, and Hisoka used his Nen to pull A Luo into the Spiders’ attacks as a shield.
• A Luo tried to crawl toward the hotel entrance, but Hisoka stopped fighting and asked Chrollo what the Troupe’s rules required after he killed Omokage.
• Hisoka changed his mind about fighting Chrollo and asked to join the Phantom Troupe.
• Machi explained that Hisoka could take Omokage’s number by killing him, and Chrollo accepted Hisoka as Number Four.
• Feitan noticed A Luo was near death, and the Spiders and Hisoka agreed to save her and fled with her before help arrived.

After A Luo woke from her injuries, Chrollo questioned how she knew so much about Hisoka, and she resolved to be more careful with her secrets. Hisoka then learned the Phantom Troupe’s rules against fighting fellow members, faked his Spider Tattoo, and remained among the Spiders while they kept their distance from him.

• A Luo woke in the Ancient Castle to find Chrollo nearby, and he clarified that he had been reading rather than watching over her.
• When A Luo suggested that Hisoka cook, Chrollo questioned how she knew Hisoka could cook and recognized him as dangerous; A Luo realized she had been careless.
• The Spiders stayed at the villa while Hisoka repeatedly tried to provoke Feitan, but Machi stopped him and explained the rules against fights between members.
• Machi told Hisoka that killing Omokage made him Number 4 and offered to help with his Spider Tattoo, but he declined and used Texture Surprise to create a convincing tattoo.
• Hisoka stayed with the Phantom Troupe, hoping to catch Chrollo alone, while the other Spiders kept a respectful distance from him.

A Luo left Hisoka’s castle with Chrollo and the other Spiders to find a candidate for the vacant Number 8 position. Their search led them to a café, where A Luo recognized the forgetful server as Shizuku.

• A Luo trained harder while staying with the Spiders and resolved to become strong enough to find Malena.
• The Spiders set out after Shalnark found a lead on a new member, while Hisoka asked A Luo to keep an eye on Chrollo and arrange a duel if possible.
• A Luo considered asking Hisoka to help find Malena as the airship carried her and the Spiders south.
• Chrollo led the group from the airship to a café in a depleted mining town, where A Luo recognized the server as Shizuku.
• Shizuku repeatedly forgot a customer’s cappuccino order until he lost his temper and threatened her.

Shizuku killed a customer who attacked her, then forgot the incident as the terrified manager paid her to leave. Chrollo approached her with an offer to join the Phantom Troupe.

• A muscular customer attacked Shizuku, but her Nen defense repelled his punch.
• Shizuku struck the man dead with Blinky and used the vacuum-like Nen ability to remove his corpse and the blood.
• The customers fled, and Shizuku's manager watched the surveillance footage before giving her Jenny and urging her to leave.
• Shizuku accepted the money, removed her employee badge, and prepared to leave the shop.
• Chrollo stopped Shizuku and asked if she was interested in joining the Phantom Troupe.

Chrollo invited Shizuku to join the Phantom Troupe, and A Luo was forced to help her remember the offer until she accepted. To welcome Shizuku, the Spiders planned to rob East Gorteau’s Treasure Festival and give her its prized Star of East Gorteau; the chapter ended as they began the heist.

• Chrollo invited Shizuku to join the Phantom Troupe, and A Luo warned the Spiders that Shizuku would likely forget the offer.

• A Luo reminded Shizuku about joining the Phantom Troupe three times a day until Shizuku accepted on the third morning.
• Chrollo planned a Treasure Festival robbery so the Spiders could give Shizuku the Star of East Gorteau, and Shizuku happily approved.
• A month later, Feitan and A Luo accompanied Shizuku to the festival while Chrollo, Machi, and Pakunoda obtained the vault locations and codes.
• Feitan asked where the others were after they confirmed they had obtained every safe code.

A Luo, Feitan, and Shizuku entered the exhibition hall to steal the Star of East Gorteau, while Feitan worried about a hidden Nen user outside. They opened the crown’s case, but Feitan’s challenge to the unseen opponent left the robbery unresolved.

• Feitan sent A Luo to persuade Shizuku to stop admiring jewelry and follow the plan to the exhibition hall.
• Feitan spotted guards he suspected were created by a hidden Nen user and decided to enter the hall with A Luo and Shizuku anyway.
• Shizuku admired the Star of East Gorteau and clarified that she wanted only its largest pink diamond.
• Shizuku realized the group were thieves and delighted in the prospect of doing exciting things with them.
• Feitan and Shizuku defeated the hall’s guards and used Chrollo’s password to open the crown’s glass case.
• Feitan addressed the hidden person at the entrance and threatened to leave with the jewelry if they did not appear.

• Feitan warned someone at the exhibition hall entrance, and a yellow-haired man appeared, lamenting that the Spiders had killed his guards.
• Feitan charged the man but was caught in his Nen Force Field and pinned by its suction.
• A Luo and Shizuku watched as Feitan struggled, and A Luo wrongly suspected the man could block sound when Feitan stayed silent.
• Feitan told Shizuku that the field’s restrictions left the man vulnerable to ranged attacks from a safe distance.
• Shizuku and A Luo fired a powerful Nen projectile, forcing the man to release Feitan and dodge.

• Hisoka arrived, rescued Blondie from Feitan’s sword with Bungee Gum, and greeted A Luo and Shizuku.
• Feitan attacked Hisoka, and the two fought while Blondie broke free and tried to escape.
• A Luo warned Shizuku that Blondie had seen their faces, so Shizuku summoned Blinky and went after him.
• Chrollo landed in front of Blondie and knocked him unconscious before Shizuku could reach him.
• Chrollo spotted Hisoka and Feitan fighting and reminded them of the Troupe Rules against infighting.

After the Spiders returned to Meteor City with Blondie, Feitan tortured him for information while Hisoka and Feitan nearly resumed their fight. Chrollo went to claim Blondie’s Nen ability as the others settled back into life at the base.

• Chrollo scolded A Luo for not keeping an eye on Feitan and Shizuku, while Hisoka explained that he had joined the Treasure Festival robbery to provoke a fight with Feitan.

• Hisoka abandoned the challenge, and Chrollo headed into Blondie’s room to take his Nen ability.

Chrollo told A Luo that the Phantom Troupe had learned where the Life Stone was and offered her a choice between revealing her secrets or helping them obtain it. Hoping to earn her freedom and learn where Malena was being held, A Luo agreed to help find the stone.

• A Luo wondered why Chrollo had brought Blondie to Meteor City and suspected the jewelry heist had served another purpose.
• Chrollo revealed that Shalnark's intelligence had confirmed Buta's account and that the Troupe was setting out to find the Life Stone.
• Chrollo offered A Luo the freedom to choose whether to join the expedition, and she asked if she could leave Meteor City if she refused.

• Chrollo offered to free A Luo and share Malena's location if she either revealed her secrets or helped the Troupe obtain the Life Stone.
• A Luo rejected the demand to reveal her secrets and agreed to help Chrollo find the Life Stone.

Chrollo took A Luo and the Spiders to an abandoned manor, where A Luo’s blood activated a stone that transported them to the hidden Reno Family manor. After Chrollo explained how he had traced the Life Stone to A Luo’s family, she opened the rear courtyard gate and saw an enormous stone at its center.

• The Spiders took A Luo on foot to an abandoned manor near Meteor City, where Feitan ordered her to drip blood onto a stone.

• Chrollo told A Luo where her mother was and promised not to interfere with her choices if she helped him obtain the Life Stone.
• A Luo opened the rear courtyard gate and saw an enormous stone in the center.

A Luo entered a hidden space around the Life Stone and heard a voice claiming to be her dead father, Fan'en Reno. Doubting its contradictory story, she cut off a piece of the stone and tried to find a way out with it.

• A Luo saw the Life Stone and, under its influence, struggled against Chrollo before disappearing into the hidden space.
• A Luo heard a voice from the stone claiming to be Fan'en Reno and explaining that the stone had trapped him and made a copy who lived with Malena.
• A Luo questioned the voice's account and asked how to leave the parallel space with a piece of the stone.
• A Luo used Chrollo's dagger to cut off a large chunk of the Life Stone, stored it in her bag, and began searching for an exit.

A Luo confronted the Life Stone and explained how she had recognized its deception, while the stone revealed its history of stealing bodies. Trapped together inside the courtyard, they reached a bargain: the Life Stone would explain how to escape if A Luo helped it lure in another victim.

• A Luo told the Life Stone that she had distrusted it from the start because its story contradicted what her father had said and what she remembered about him.
• The Life Stone recalled how it had learned to exchange souls with people who dripped blood onto it, letting it escape in their bodies while trapping them inside the stone.
• The Life Stone said Fan'en Reno had brought him back to the courtyard years earlier, and A Luo guessed that her father had hoped the stone could restore his ability to walk.
• A Luo refused to approach the Life Stone and sat down to wait, pointing out that neither of them could leave while the barrier held.
• The Life Stone agreed to reveal the secrets of the barrier on the condition that A Luo help it lure someone else inside.

A Luo escaped the Life Stone after agreeing to lure someone else into it, then tricked Feitan into entering the hidden space. She revealed her immense Nen and apparently drained the Spiders’ strength, leaving Chrollo demanding to know what she had done.

• The Life Stone told A Luo how he had been trapped and explained that he could release her if she brought someone else to replace him.
• A Luo reappeared in the courtyard and told the Spiders that an invisible Life Stone lay in a parallel space.
• A Luo baited Feitan into approaching the hidden space, and he vanished when he came within three meters of it.
• Chrollo confronted A Luo, who dropped her harmless act and unleashed a vast cloud of dark purplish-red Nen.
• The Spiders tried to prepare for battle but found their Nen and strength had drained away, and Chrollo demanded to know what A Luo had done.

A Luo revealed that she had secretly dosed the Phantom Troupe with golden pills that became a Nen-sealing poison when exposed to her Nen, then confronted Chrollo and the others while they were immobilized. She explained how she had developed the ability and begun tampering with their meals, and prepared to take her revenge on Chrollo.

• A Luo kicked Chrollo down and beat him while confronting him over the abuse and imprisonment she had endured.
• Shizuku and Machi reassured Pakunoda that their Nen would recover, while Chrollo warned A Luo that the other Phantom Troupe members would seek revenge if she killed them.
• A Luo summoned the Little Disc, refined a Medicine Cauldron, and showed the Spiders the golden pills she had secretly used to season their food.
• A Luo explained that the pills had gradually weakened the Spiders and would seal their Nen when activated by her Nen.
• A Luo recalled discovering her unusual Specialist ability, fearing Chrollo would steal it, and secretly dosing the Spiders after he threatened her with Malena.
• A Luo looked at the immobilized Spiders and decided to take her time making Chrollo suffer.

A Luo tried to make Chrollo feel the helplessness she had suffered by killing Machi and Pakunoda in front of him. Just as she moved to attack him, Hisoka arrived and struck at her knife hand, leaving her revenge plan interrupted.

• A Luo considered using Machi and Pakunoda to hurt Chrollo, but hesitated over their past kindness to her.
• A Luo slit Machi's and Pakunoda's throats before Chrollo, then threw their bodies near the courtyard gate.
• A Luo threatened Chrollo and told him that she could kill the entire Phantom Troupe through her cooking.
• Chrollo asked A Luo whether she had wondered why Hisoka had been away from Meteor City that day.
• Hisoka's playing card flew toward A Luo's knife hand as he entered the courtyard, and Chrollo looked displeased by his arrival.

A Luo tried to escape Hisoka’s attack by negotiating a chance for him to fight Chrollo, then seized the opening to flee with Shizuku. She left Hisoka in the courtyard with the unconscious Chrollo and took back the Feign Death Pills from Machi and Pakunoda.

• Hisoka appeared in the courtyard and blocked A Luo’s attempt to attack Chrollo and escape.
• Hisoka dodged A Luo’s Nen and dropped a massive rock on the immobilized Chrollo, knocking him unconscious.
• Shizuku asked A Luo to let her recover her ability and promised to stay out of A Luo’s grudge with Chrollo.
• A Luo proposed leaving with Shizuku so Hisoka could fight Chrollo once the Pill wore off.
• A Luo hoisted Shizuku onto her shoulder, ran out through the gate, and retrieved the Feign Death Pills from Machi and Pakunoda.

A Luo used her fake-death props to spare Machi and Pakunoda while warning the Phantom Troupe to leave her alone, then set off to find Malena. After the Spiders regrouped, Chrollo escaped the Life Stone’s barrier and added the replacement soul’s abilities to Skill Hunter before leading the Troupe back to Meteor City.

• A Luo secretly fed Machi and Pakunoda Fake-Death Drug, staged their deaths with a prop dagger, and warned them not to pursue her or she would target the remaining Spiders.
• A Luo laid Shizuku beside Machi and Pakunoda, left the Manor, and headed to find Malena.

• Chrollo woke, told Feitan that Machi and Pakunoda were alive, and Feitan found them outside the Manor.
• Chrollo escaped the Life Stone’s barrier by stealing the replacement soul’s abilities with Skill Hunter, then announced that he had secured the Life Stone and led the Spiders toward Meteor City.

A Luo traveled to Yorknew City to find Malena and decided to investigate Vito Corleone’s gang before attempting a rescue. After disguising herself and winning underground fights, she drew Vito and his powerful associate’s attention, then revealed her Nen by catching and returning a bullet.

• Vito Corleone and a gloomy youth attended A Luo’s match, and a gang member tried to force her to meet his boss.
• A Luo caught the gunman’s bullet with her Nen and sent it through his arm, drawing applause and a question about her name.

After A Luo defeated a bodyguard, William Corleone and Vito arranged for Owl to abduct her and recruit her as William’s bodyguard. Vito tasked her with replacing Taijie in the Mafia’s tournament, leaving A Luo to decide whether to accept.

• A Luo ignored William and Vito, then knocked out their bodyguard with one punch when he tried to stop her.
• William offered Vito a casino if he could persuade A Luo to serve him.
• Owl abducted A Luo from her hotel room using his Incredible Convenience Big Wrapping Cloth and took her away.
• Vito told A Luo that William wanted her as a bodyguard and that she was expected to win the Mafia’s tournament a month later.
