Chapter Summaries

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 sent Hisoka the location 3321, then went to the Third Tier to find Piyon through Mizaistom.
• Joey located Mizaistom near Room 3281 and arranged to meet him in an empty room with Tserried.
• Joey told Mizaistom that his phone had been hacked and that he had roughly located the person maintaining the Ai Yi Yi Family’s base; Mizaistom agreed to contact Piyon.
• Mizaistom explained that the Hunter Association and King’s Army were evacuating people to the Fourth Tier and preparing to contain fighting on the Third Tier.
• 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.

• Mizaistom explained that the Hunter Association planned to restrict teleportation at selected locations, while Piyon told Joey the phone intrusions came from a Nen user and repaired Kurapika’s phone.
• Joey deduced that the hacker could target phone numbers Hisoka had obtained in person, suspected Milluki, and asked Illumi whether Milluki was aboard the ship; Illumi replied that he was.
• Joey reached Kurapika by phone and learned that Kurapika had followed a fake message to Room No. 3107, but the call abruptly cut off.
• Joey and Mizaistom headed toward Room No. 3107, with Joey moving covertly while Mizaistom proceeded through official channels.
• Joey found a firefight near Room No. 3107, where metal dolls from Room No. 3103 fired real guns at soldiers and Mafia Members.

Joey investigated Kurapika’s disappearance and entered Room No. 3107, where he found a hidden chamber and fresh claw marks leading toward Room No. 3101. When he tested a wall blocking the marks’ path, it rippled like water and pulled him in.

• Joey watched the Ai Yi Yi Family’s dolls attack the soldiers and Mafia, then learned from Piyon that Kurapika’s phone was broken and could not be traced.
• Joey suspected Kurapika had left Room No. 3107 or entered a hidden chamber, so he used Mirage to conceal himself and tested the room for teleportation before going inside.
• Joey found a hole and bloody claw marks in the bathroom wall, then entered the secret chamber behind it and discovered fresh claw marks leading toward Room No. 3101.
• Joey followed the marks until a wall blocked the path and sent a Gold Experience rabbit into it; after the rabbit struck the wall, Joey touched it and was pulled toward its rippling surface.

Joey entered a blood-filled space to find Kurapika and used the Weather Nen Beast to freeze its blood-powered monsters. He reunited with Kurapika and found the space’s creator, who surrendered as the freezing cold overwhelmed him.

• Joey followed the wall’s pull into a hidden space, where his En detected Kurapika and numerous hostile presences.
• Crimson monsters attacked Joey, but he used the Weather Nen Beast to freeze them and the blood that produced them.
• Joey followed Kurapika’s presence through the rooms and found him suffering from the extreme cold, then covered him with the Spacesuit.
• Kurapika led Joey to the exit room, where they found the space’s creator standing by a door amid frozen monsters.
• 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 and Kurapika escaped through the frozen door and returned to the passage behind Room No. 3107, where they concluded the dead man’s space had become sealed.
• After someone entered Room No. 3107, Joey concealed himself and Kurapika, and they avoided discovery while considering how to leave the area.
• 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 and Kurapika reached the ship’s outer wall and felt a spreading presence that intensified negative emotions.
• Joey broke through the hull and found black aura that killed a soldier it touched outside the ship, while a second soldier exposed by Kurapika survived with only a brief tremor.
• 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.
• Joey accepted the commission and asked Piyon to tell Mizaistom that he had found Kurapika, but he sensed Hisoka approaching as the Phantom Troupe closed in.
• 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.

• Kurapika attacked Phinks while targeting Franklin, and Joey used the ensuing chaos to escape through a hole in the cabin wall.
• Machi followed Joey onto the hull, where the black aura surged around them and Joey used a breeze to push it away.
• Machi attacked a false presence with her Nen Threads and activated a Locator to summon reinforcements.
• Joey sent out decoys resembling himself and Kurapika, then appeared to flee up the hull with the false Kurapika.
• 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.

Joey investigated the Pighead Monster holding Knuckle captive and deduced that its ability controlled the Flesh Monsters and made its room a deadly trap. Joey rescued Knuckle and killed Pighead with First Bomb, but the kitchen knife retained an aura after its owner died.

• Joey sent ordinary-looking flies into the room and watched Pighead cut one down with a kitchen knife, revealing a brief burst of immense aura.
• Pighead activated his ability, sending Flesh Monsters surging out of the room and toward Joey’s hiding place despite his Clone’s coin attacks.
• Joey inferred that Pighead could detect and assess intruders in his room, then used the Weather Nen Beast’s Wind Blade to cut Knuckle’s chains.
• Joey set the corridor and room ablaze as his Clone charged in, and Pighead swung his kitchen knife at the Clone under a powerful visual lock.
• A fly landed on Pighead, triggering First Bomb and killing him; Joey rescued Knuckle but sensed aura still lingering in Pighead’s fallen knife.

Joey tested Pighead's Nen-infused kitchen knife, identified its dangerous ability, and rescued the injured Knuckle from the King's Army. Knuckle left aboard Big Gray to deliver information to Cheadle while Joey stayed behind to search for Morel and Shoot.

• Joey used a Clone to test Pighead's knife and discovered that it absorbed murderous intent and Nen before attacking, potentially turning on its wielder if it lacked a nearby target.
• Joey retrieved the knife with an ape created from a flowerpot, then escaped with Knuckle as King's Army soldiers began searching the area.
• Knuckle told Joey that the black aura's lethal boundary had shrunk from fifty meters, that the King's Army had split up Morel's team, and that their biological specialist had been killed while Morel and Shoot remained missing.
• Joey explained that the Hunter Association had lost contact with a search team and was negotiating with the King's Army, then admitted that he might have contributed to the black aura appearing early.
• Joey healed Knuckle, created the giant bird Big Gray from an iron door, and sent him to find Cheadle and pass on the information.
• Big Gray carried Knuckle away under fire from King's Army soldiers while Joey returned inside the ship with the knife-wielding ape to continue searching for Morel and Shoot.

Joey searched the ship’s Upper Tier for Morel and Shoot while evading the King's Army and investigating the ability user tracking him. He traced the surveillance to a caller, struck the soldiers with lightning, and ended the chapter discovering that the ape’s kitchen knife had begun drawing something from a corpse.

• Joey sent Knuckle away on the monster bird and searched telephone locations aboard the ship for signs of Morel and Shoot.
• Joey realized a hidden ability user was tracking him and planned to exploit the soldiers’ response to find the observer.
• Joey filled a corridor with fog as the King's Army closed in, then used the soldiers’ phone call to identify the observer’s direction.
• The Weather Nen Beast pointed out the observer’s direction, and Joey unleashed lightning that felled soldiers throughout the corridor.
• A charred soldier lunged at Joey, but the knife-wielding ape struck him first, and tendrils spread from the kitchen knife into the corpse.

Joey sealed the bizarre kitchen knife in a transformed iron door, then fought through the King's Army as a sonic attack and more Pigheads revealed the scale of the human experimentation aboard the ship. He broke into a room and found the closed-eyed man he suspected had been observing him, who opened his eyes as Joey arrived.

• Joey saw the kitchen knife drain a corpse and weaken his flowerpot ape, then decided to keep the knife from the King's Army and seal it away.
• Joey transformed an iron door into a toad that swallowed the knife, triggering a ship-wide scream that injured nearby soldiers.
• Joey reasoned that the sonic attacker and the knife's owner might be separate people, and continued toward the faint atmospheric fluctuation he had detected.
• A black-haired Pighead attacked Joey with the knife, but Killer Queen blocked the strike while Joey blasted apart a flesh monster and sealed the knife again.
• Joey saw more Pigheads and flesh monsters, realized their human victims had been killed within the past week, and suspected the King's Army was secretly creating them.
• Joey broke through a wall and found a man with his eyes closed drinking tea; the man put down his phone and opened his eyes toward Joey.

Joey attacked an observer whose unusual eyes gave him precise control over Nen, but the fight turned against him when a screamer and a giant carrying a familiar Kitchen Knife arrived. Morel's Deep Purple soldiers then broke through the walls and attacked the floating eyes, giving Joey an opening to join forces with them.

• Joey ignited the room, but the observer used the liquid from shattered eye jars to extinguish the flames and sent the floating eyes to watch him.
• The observer expanded his Protective Shield, precisely cut Joey's Nen Aura Spear apart, and destroyed Joey's attempts to attack the eyes with clouds and Nen Bullets.
• A screamer arrived and used a Nen-infused roar to dissipate Joey's Nen Bullets, while a giant carrying a powerful Kitchen Knife charged at him.
• Morel's Deep Purple soldiers burst through both walls and attacked the floating eyes, and Joey moved to coordinate with them.
