Joey and Kurapika evacuated Momoze through a hole to the Second Floor, leaving the King’s Army firing behind them.

• Momoze’s large-eyed monster entered the Sixth District, where her sudden fatigue led Joey to suspect that the Sixth Prince’s Guardian Nen Beast had attached itself to the clone.

• Franklin opened fire on Joey's seat while Machi caught Joey with a Nen Thread, and another attack sent Hisoka flying toward the cinema screen.

Joey and Hisoka tried to lure the Phantom Troupe toward the Ai Yi Yi Family’s hidden base, but the Troupe chose to pursue Joey and cautiously used Gasha-A Family members to investigate the rooms.

• Franklin, Phinks, and Machi decided to investigate the Ai Yi Yi Family’s base first and postpone pursuing Hisoka until they knew where he was.

Joey suspected that Hisoka was using traps, signal interference, and fabricated messages to make him reveal the Ai Yi Yi Family’s hideout. By tracking where his listening devices began transmitting static, Joey pinpointed the likely base near Room No. 3321.

• Joey sent a disguised clone back to the Third Tier to investigate Room No. 3101 while refusing to help the Gasha-A Family locate the Ai Yi Yi Family.

• Joey used listening devices around Room No. 3101 and confirmed their signals came through clearly before directing them toward his teleported insect.
• The listening devices began transmitting static as they neared Room No. 3321, leading Joey to identify the area as the likely location of the Ai Yi Yi Family’s hideout.

• Joey threw a corpse into the room, then stepped inside himself while a Gold Experience ladybug hid on another corpse nearby.

Joey investigated the Ai Yi Yi Family’s spatial base, then sought Mizaistom’s help contacting Piyon about his hacked phone. As the Hunter Association and King’s Army prepared to contain a possible war on the Third Tier, Joey asked whether they had stopped the family from sending people to the Lower Level.

• Joey’s Clone observed the Gasha-A Family and King’s Army searching a strange space, where toy soldiers, bears, and a conveyor belt handled the dead, before Joey let his Clone disappear.

• Joey asked whether Mizaistom had found and dealt with the Ai Yi Yi Family’s method of sending people to the Lower Level.

Joey investigated the Nen user who had hacked his and Kurapika’s phones, suspecting Illumi’s brother Milluki was helping Hisoka. When Kurapika was lured to Room No. 3107 and contact with him was lost, Joey and Mizaistom went to find him, where Joey discovered a one-sided massacre unfolding nearby.

• The shivering man, whose clawed arms matched the marks outside, surrendered and begged Joey to spare him.

Joey and Kurapika escaped the frozen space after killing a First Prince’s guard, then hid in the secret chamber behind Room No. 3107 as forces gathered outside. With the usual escape routes watched, Joey prepared a plan to create chaos and capture people, while Kurapika made clear he would accept harsh methods if necessary.

• Joey restrained and questioned a man trapped in the frozen space, then killed him after Kurapika identified him as a First Prince’s guard targeting them.

• Joey found traces of surveillance Nen on the floor and ceiling, so he abandoned the plan to blast through to another tier.
• Kurapika suggested leaving Black Whale 1 and testing its suspected evil spirits, and Joey explained they would need to cause chaos to escape.
• Joey subdued the occupants of Room No. 3107, moved through nearby rooms, and piled objects at their entrances before returning to the secret chamber.

Joey and Kurapika began breaking out of Room No. 3107 while Joey anticipated that Hisoka might have planned for their escape. Elsewhere, the Phantom Troupe arrived to crush the chaos of rampaging object-made beasts and dolls, and Phinks identified Room No. 3107, Room No. 3125, and the warehouse as possible targets.

• Joey and Kurapika escaped Room No. 3107 through a wall and used Weather Report to avoid alerting people in the next room.
• Joey suspected Hisoka had arranged the First Prince's guards and anticipated their escape, so he prepared a simultaneous attack with his clone in Room No. 3125.
• Objects throughout the corridor transformed into ferocious creatures and attacked the King's Army and Mafia, while venomous snakes poured from Room No. 3109.
• Phinks, Machi, and Franklin arrived as Phantom Troupe members and tore through the creatures and dolls.
• Phinks punched through the corridor and Room No. 3109, apparently killing the snake-user, while Machi detected aura behind Room No. 3107 and Phinks pointed out Room No. 3125 and the warehouse.

Phinks, Machi, and Franklin pursued Joey and Kurapika through hidden passages while Joey and Kurapika discovered a lethal black aura surrounding Black Whale 1. The chapter ends with Piyon reporting that Morel’s team and the search party had both lost contact outside the hull.

• Phinks, Machi, and Franklin entered the hidden chamber behind Room No. 3107 and chose the left passage to pursue Joey and Kurapika.

• Joey contacted Piyon to ask about Morel, but she called back and told him that Morel’s team and the team sent to find them had lost contact outside the hull.

Joey accepted the Hunter Association’s commission to find Morel’s missing team and prepared to leave the ship, but Hisoka’s plan forced him into a three-on-three fight with the Phantom Troupe. The battle began with Hisoka drawing Phinks away while Joey and Kurapika engaged Franklin and Machi, and the chapter ended as Machi’s Nen threads engulfed Joey and Killer Queen in flames.

• Piyon told Joey that Morel, Knuckle, and Shoot had vanished, Knov’s exit door would not open, and the Hunter Association wanted Joey to search for them.

• Hisoka joined Joey and Kurapika, and Franklin, Phinks, and Machi arrived, turning the confrontation into a three-on-three fight.
• The Phantom Troupe attacked with Franklin’s Nen bullets, while Hisoka used a prepared Nen trap to pull Phinks away from his companions.
• Joey spotted Hisoka’s strands laid through the corridor, then Machi’s Nen threads struck Killer Queen and spread around Joey before flames engulfed them.

Joey lured Machi out onto the Black Whale 1’s hull while Kurapika and Hisoka fought other Phantom Troupe members inside. Machi chased the apparent Joey and Kurapika, unaware that both figures were decoys as the real Joey followed behind her.

• Machi suspected a trap but pursued the figures, while the real Joey followed with his En covering the area ahead of her.

Joey lured Machi into an elaborate ambush on the ship, but she countered his attacks and ensnared him with Nen Threads. Joey appeared to erase Machi with the First Bomb, only to be caught by a sudden attack from an unseen opponent.

• Joey baited Machi away from the opening with a Clone and projection while arranging the First Bomb and other attacks.
• Joey unleashed lightning, hail, swifts, fire, wind, Nen Bullets, and the Heartbreaker Attack Chariot against Machi, but she defended herself with Nen Threads and threw the chariot into the sea.
• Machi's hidden Nen Threads seized Joey and began burrowing into his body, but the Weather Nen Beast cut them while Killer Queen activated Erasure on Machi.
• Joey believed Machi had been erased by the First Bomb and pulled the remaining threads from his body.
• Strange music reached Joey, and darkness engulfed him as a huge ringed planet slammed into him.

Joey tested whether Machi had really died and discovered that she was still helping Bonolenov attack him. He trapped the pair in a freezing compartment and revealed that Killer Queen could deploy several Heartbreaker Attack Chariots at once, preparing to fight them.

• Bonolenov attacked Joey with Jupiter, but Machi’s Nen Threads pulled him away from Killer Queen’s strike, confirming that she was alive.
• Joey used atmospheric ripples to locate Machi and Bonolenov, then manipulated the compartment’s weather to bring freezing rain and strong winds into the fight.
• Machi spread Nen Threads throughout the compartment while Bonolenov prepared another attack, and Joey let them make the area their battlefield.
• Joey recognized that Killer Queen’s First Bomb was limited against the pair’s ranged abilities and considered how to produce multiple Heartbreaker Attack Chariots.
• Killer Queen’s skull ornaments detached and transformed into several Heartbreaker Attack Chariots, which Joey directed toward Machi and Bonolenov.

Joey used the Weather Nen Beast, wind, and concealed Heartbreaker Attacks to fight Machi and Bonolenov, while Bonolenov’s music began making Nen-controlled things behave as if they were physical. The wind disrupted Bonolenov’s music and held the pair in place, and Heartbreaker Attacks struck Bonolenov with a series of explosions.

• Joey formed enhanced Wind Blades to cut Machi’s Nen Threads, but the severed threads whipped toward him, forcing him to dodge.
• Joey noticed Bonolenov’s music was giving Nen-controlled objects physical properties, including the severed threads, Wind Blades, clouds, and lightning.
• Joey spread fierce wind through the sealed space, intending to disrupt Bonolenov’s music and trap Machi and Bonolenov.
• Joey sent seven concealed Heartbreaker Attacks toward the pair and redirected his Nen Bullets toward their positions.
• The wind formed enormous hands that seized Machi and Bonolenov, while the chaotic airflow turned Bonolenov’s music into shrill noise.
• A Heartbreaker Attack appeared beside Bonolenov and exploded, then further impacts struck him as he was blown away.

Joey killed Bonolenov and Machi, then sent a Clone through the ice wall and encountered Kalluto. Kalluto showed him a paper figure of Franklin before leaving, while Joey prepared to continue searching for Kurapika.

• Joey used Chariot’s explosions and controlled wind blades to overwhelm Bonolenov’s defenses and cut him apart despite Machi’s Nen Threads.
• Joey turned his attacks on Machi, and she died as the cold inside the ice wall dropped below minus seventy degrees.
• Joey confirmed both Phantom Troupe members were dead and decided to leave the low-temperature space to find Kurapika.
• Joey sent a Clone through a passage Killer Queen had opened in the ice wall and found Kalluto waiting in the corridor.
• Kalluto showed Joey paper figures with two broken heads, tore off Franklin’s figure, and sent it toward Joey with a fan; Joey stopped it with a breeze, and Kalluto left.

Joey destroyed Kalluto’s paper figure and changed course to investigate the Black Whale 1’s horn, discovering a colossal sea monster before returning to search for Kurapika. He found Hunter cipher numbers that reassured him Mizaistom was also working to rescue Kurapika.

• Kalluto left Joey a moving Paper Person, but Joey burned it and used flies to search for Kurapika while keeping his clone ahead of him.
• The Black Whale 1 sounded its horn, so Joey used Killer Queen to exit the hull and spotted an unknown island-like monster drifting nearby.
• Joey watched the enormous creature stir the sea, then sink away, and sent Sambika a photograph of it.
• Joey returned to the ship and found King's Army soldiers guarding repairs around the hull breach, where black aura reached toward workers in protective suits.
• Joey followed the battle traces and his returning flies, then found concealed Hunter cipher numbers that he recognized as a message from Mizaistom.

Joey learned that Kurapika was in Mizaistom’s custody and decided not to intervene unless the situation changed. He searched Black Whale 1 for the missing Morel, reached the central cruise ship, and discovered Knuckle Bine being tortured inside a guarded cabin.

• Joey received Piyon’s report that Kurapika had been taken by Mizaistom and was wanted by Kakin’s King’s Army, then decided to let Kurapika and Mizaistom handle the situation.
• Joey told Piyon he would not intervene for now and set out to search for Morel, while trusting Mizaistom to contact him if Kurapika needed help.
• Joey crossed the storm-lashed exterior of Black Whale 1 and headed for the central cruise ship to investigate its control rooms and search for clues about Morel.
• Joey sensed three abnormal ability users aboard the cruise ship, triggering an alarm and bringing armed soldiers onto the deck.
• Joey detected Knuckle Bine’s weakened presence inside a cabin and approached, sensing another ability user in the room before preparing an insect-based sneak attack.
