• Joey sent Heartbreaker Attack and a bomb-imbued coin after the phone-holding King's Army officer while his En detected another Nen user above the ceiling.

• Joey sensed that someone had entered Room 4 by breaking through a wall and suspected the King's Army had prepared an ambush there.
• Joey slowed the bee and prepared to send the returning Heartbreaker Attack into Room 4, while worrying that the King's Army might be able to counter spatial abilities and endanger Melody.

• Joey triggered the fight with Feitan, using Killer Queen to block Feitan’s sword and landing a full-strength punch that sent him flying.
• Franklin attacked Joey with Nen Bullets, but then stopped firing and fled after Feitan spoke in words Joey could not understand.

• Joey and Feitan exchanged blows, and Feitan retrieved his slender sword while Joey’s Weather Nen Beast helped restrain his movements.
• Joey began sealing the corridor with ice and planned to remove its atmosphere, while Feitan realized the danger and attacked to stop him.
• Feitan’s outfit fired a hidden spike that pierced the Weather Nen Beast and struck Joey’s arm; the Ice Ball then burst, and the atmosphere began disappearing through an opening in the ice.

Joey defeated Feitan by trapping him in a freezing enclosure and using falling air pressure to weaken him, while Franklin later discovered Feitan’s corpse. Joey reunited with the Clone and Melody, and Melody awakened as the Nen affecting her began to fade, leaving Joey to plan her recovery and protection.

• Joey’s Ice Spires failed to break through Feitan’s defenses, but Feitan’s escape route proved to be another wall of ice as the enclosed space’s air pressure fell.

• Joey decided to end the fight quickly, disguised his face, spread fog through the cafeteria, and sent hummingbirds to attack the animals and insects as his En changed shape.

Joey ambushed Hinrigh after tracing the sniper attack to his location, then knocked him unconscious when Hinrigh revealed he knew who had leaked the princes’ location. Joey brought Hinrigh to Tserried on the Fourth Tier, while Phinks and a woman from the Phantom Troupe set out to find Joey and the hidden princes.

• Momoze refused to rest and revealed that she could send a moving viewpoint to observe the VVIP Area; her Guardian Nen Beast released a winged eye that Joey and Kurapika began testing.

Joey infiltrated the VVIP Area to investigate Hisoka’s report of a hidden Coffin Area, but found only an empty room and unusually lax security. He suspected Nasubi Hui Guo Rou was using the dead Thirteenth Prince’s spatial Nen Beast to conceal the entrance, and left a clone inside while he withdrew to find a way through.

• Momoze directed her Little Monster into the VVIP Area until exhaustion forced her to stop, while Joey’s insects also searched without finding the Coffin Area.
• Joey used Weather Report’s cover to enter the VVIP Area and sent a concealed clone into the room Hisoka had identified, but it found only an ordinary empty room.
• Joey discovered that most VVIP Area soldiers were ordinary and poorly alert, while the First Prince’s residence had a Nen user guarding it and the Third Prince’s assassination site was lightly watched.
• After reviewing surveillance footage of the Fourth Prince’s Nen Beast attacking his device, Joey suspected Nasubi Hui Guo Rou had gained control of the dead Thirteenth Prince’s spatial Nen Beast and used it to hide the Coffin Area.
• Joey left the clone in the empty room as a probe, withdrew from the VVIP Area, and sent a surveillance device into the ceiling.

Joey left the First Tier after Biscuit sent an urgent message saying the Seventh Queen needed emergency treatment. He reached the Fifth Floor, treated the Queen, and learned that Biscuit had been trapped there by two Hunters working for the Gasha-A Family, leaving Joey interested in capturing and using them.

• Joey chose a vacant VVIP room as a route to the lower floors, but changed plans after Biscuit messaged him from Warehouse B64 on the Fifth Floor.
• Joey verified the sender was Biscuit, then opened a series of holes through the ship to reach the Fifth Floor while avoiding detection.
• Joey crossed the blood-soaked Fifth Floor and found that the Warehouse Area was guarded only by Mafia personnel.
• Joey used Nen Bullets to incapacitate four guards outside Warehouse B64 and entered, where Biscuit had captured two people and the Seventh Queen lay badly wounded.
• Joey began treating the Seventh Queen as Biscuit explained that two Hunters had used spatial abilities to transport and seal them, and that the Gasha-A Family's Young Master had bought them off.
• Joey recognized the captured Hunters could be useful and considered returning to the warehouse district's connected space.

Joey rescued the Seventh Queen with Biscuit and learned the abilities of the men who had imprisoned them. After Joey left the Lower Level to pursue his plans, the Gasha-A Family alerted the authorities, while the Seventh Prince received a secret message.

• Joey and Biscuit escaped the warehouse with the unconscious captives, and Biscuit explained how two of the attackers had used spatial bubbles to trap her and the Seventh Queen.
• Biscuit said she had killed the guard soldiers for lack of oxygen and smashed a third attacker, an Enhancement ability user, to pieces.
• Joey left Biscuit and the recovering Seventh Queen in the warehouse and headed away with the captives, explaining that he was wanted by the King's Army and intended to act alone.
• Kenyi discovered the warehouse's bodies and realized the Seventh Queen had been held on Gasha-A Family territory, so he ordered the King's Army to be informed.
• The King's Army, Hunter Association, and Judicial Affairs Bureau mobilized as the Seventh Prince received and secretly read a slip of paper before dismissing his guards for the night.

• Joey planted cockroach scouts in warehouses on the Fourth, Third, and Second Tiers before returning to the First Tier and waking the two injured men.
• Joey persuaded the chubby young man and the dark-skinned young man to help transfer the space around the room containing his Clone.
• The dark-skinned young man placed the chubby man's blood-activated marker in the room, but a Nen user's dagger attack was stopped by the Thirteenth Prince's Weather Nen Beast ability.
• Joey ordered the chubby man to activate his ability while lightning and flames attacked the King's Army soldiers emerging from the room.
• A defensive barrier blocked Joey's lightning, and another soldier absorbed his flames as the troops pressed their attack.
• A soldier's spinning top immobilized Joey's Clone, whose head was smashed; Joey then struck the attacker with a coin, and the man's body turned to ash.

Joey used the fat man’s ability to bring Nasubi Hui Guo Rou out of the Thirteenth Prince’s Nen Beast’s inner space, then broke into the Coffin Area to investigate the source of the king’s power. There, Joey found the Seed Urn and confronted its defenders, including a man whose spinning-top ability could affect the mind.

• The fat man expanded his blood-powered bubble and brought Nasubi Hui Guo Rou and others into the room, but a bizarre Nen Beast pierced the fat man’s throat and killed him.
• Joey charged through the King’s Army blockade, defeated two ability users, and entered the room that had returned to the normal world.
• Joey found himself inside a glass-protected machine in the Coffin Area, where his clone killed an ambusher before a spinning top made the clone vanish.

• Joey saw fourteen coffins, glowing patterns linked to the Third, Fourth, Eighth, and Thirteenth Princes, and the Seed Urn above the central room.
• Joey recognized the top-wielding man as a [Ming] cooperating with Nasubi Hui Guo Rou and deduced that his ability targeted the mind rather than creating clones.

Joey sealed the Coffin Area’s entrance and fought two men whose abilities combined into a powerful illusion, while strange Nen phenomena emerged around the coffins. He broke free of the illusion and realized Nasubi’s trusted allies had ambushed him, but the fight left him chilled and the Coffin Area’s other threats remained.

• Joey reasoned that the equipment room was a teleportation entrance to the Coffin Area and froze its entrance to delay Nasubi’s return.
• Joey used Weather Report to attack the archer and the man controlling spinning tops, freezing and electrocuting them while the archer died.
• Four flowers of flame rose from the coffins, strange Nen Beasts appeared, and black souls poured from the frozen urn as the spinning tops’ effects overwhelmed Joey.
• Joey suspected the tops, whip, and arrows were creating an illusion, and his hidden glass frog used First Bomb to help him dispel it.
• Joey saw the top man’s corpse and the archer’s ashes, then concluded the two attackers were Nasubi’s trusted collaborators rather than Kakin soldiers.

Joey saw through Nugui’s attempt to stall him and began cutting open all fourteen coffins in the Coffin Area. As the dead princes’ Guardian Nen Beasts emerged, Joey attacked the Fourth Prince’s beast while it was still vulnerable.

• Joey realized the whip’s crack had drawn him into an illusion, and the man with the whip destroyed Ming before dying in an explosion.
• Joey found the Fourth Prince’s body inside his coffin and met Nugui, whose presence appeared to be a projection.

Nasubi emerged and struck Joey with an ability that appeared to involve time reversal, leaving Joey hidden in the fog and trying to understand the limits of Nasubi’s power.

• Joey used the Heartbreaker Chariot and lightning to weaken the Fourth Prince’s Guardian Nen Beast, while the Third and Eighth Princes’ Nen Beasts vanished and a giant resentment-wreathed creature appeared.
• Joey’s hummingbirds used the First Bomb to destroy coffins, releasing screaming figures of resentment, as his clone approached Nugui in the fog.
• Joey attacked the Central Device and discovered King Nasubi Hui Guo Rou behind its ice; Nasubi accepted a black orb from the monster emerging from the urn.
• Nasubi’s attack pierced Joey with resentment, but Joey cut out the affected flesh and vanished into the fog as Nasubi’s En detected several figures bearing Joey’s presence.
• Nasubi erased a hidden button and began to turn to ash, but his body reversed to its previous state; Joey inferred that Nasubi’s Guardian Nen Beast disappeared while using Time Reversal.
