Keep on living just the way you are
It's been at least five hours.
What kind of manager would leave 36 guests behind and just take off?
Yeah. And they charged us a lot.
What the hell are they thinking?
But it's not like we paid them money
We paid with treasure and got our rooms in exchange.
It's the same thing!
You got that right!
Hey, Tonpa, we actually agree on something for a change!
It doesn't make me happy.
Speaking of which,
I just checked the manager's room.
They left all the treasure behind.
You think they forgot to take it?
Of course not.
It seems like they had another reason for leaving us behind.
Do you think this is part of the Exam?
I don't know.
We don't have enough information to conclude anything.
Hey, Bro, who's gonna cook for us then?
Someone who knows how to cook, I guess.
Do we have someone like that in this bunch?
We're all gonna starve to death on this island
in the middle of nowhere!
Just calm down.
We can catch fish for food.
But the real problem is, what are we going to do now?
Hey! Come here a minute!
Is that thing broken?
No, the radio is still in working order.
But we can't get a signal in any channel for some reason.
What? That means...
That means we can't contact anybody.
It's like all 36 of us are stranded on this island...
Hey, did you hear that strange sound just now?
No, not really.
Oh...
Just standing here won't solve anything.
Let's all split up and search the ship for some clues.
Good idea. Let's go.
Will you keep at it a bit longer?
Okay.
I found these.
Compasses?
Yeah. And for some strange reason, there's one for each of us.
I found these measuring tools.
I searched through the manager's room.
And I found this map.
What is this?
This here would be the Battleship Island we're on right now.
And this line indicates the route to Zevil Island.
They obviously left these things behind for us to find.
Which would mean this is part of the Exam.
They're telling us to get to this island.
All right! Let's go to that Zevil Island!
Luckily, the ocean's calm right now.
I don't think it's gonna be that easy.
With the map and compass, we can determine what direction to take,
but we can't tell the distance.
What do you mean?
The water does look calm, and there's no sign of a storm.
But if we don't know the distance to the Island,
then we won't know how much food to bring...
Or how much water.
We know which direction to go.
The sun will be our reference point then on.
We'll just cruise without food or water
and endure it as part of the Exam.
That's too risky.
Have you forgotten that the Exam is full of traps?
If this indeed is part of the Exam, this map itself may be a trap.
Aren't you being too suspicious?
I also believe that they want us to find our way to Zevil Island.
I don't argue with you there.
But I'm just saying it would be safer to wait until nightfall
so we can use the stars to chart our course as accurately as possible.
Wait until after nightfall?! You're being too slow.
We need to proceed with caution, like Kurapika just said.
It sure seems like this could be part of the Exam,
but it's a lot different from anything else we've had to do so far.
I think we should stick together on this.
Bad idea.
Of course, this is part of the Exam.
And there could even be a time limit.
I don't think you should be making statements
that make people more nervous.
Do you have any proof to back that up?
I looked inside the water tank.
There's hardly any drinking water left at all.
We'll be dried up if we take too much time.
We came here for three days.
We lost one day scavenging for treasure.
Which leaves us with two.
So that must mean Zevil Island is reachable within two days.
I see.
Hey, Bro, we've got bigger things to worry about than food!
Yeah.
Let's find a boat.
Hey!
All right! We're going to Zevil Island!
Wait! If we all head out on our own and anything goes wrong we're done for!
Then stay if you want!
Don't stir them. We could end up with casualties.
Getting rid of the competition is part of the Exam.
I'm gonna survive no matter what.
I don't care what happens to others.
So what are we gonna do now?
Kurapika, I understand where you're coming from,
but he has a point, too.
I'm just saying we should proceed with caution.
I know, but...
I'm off to Zevil Island. See ya.
I still think Kurapika's right.
But I don't think we should wait around until after dark.
So why don't we split up again and
scour the ship for anything that might tell us our current location?
I guess it's better than just waiting around.
Hey, Gon, let's go back to that place we found.
Yeah!
What about you?
I'll try to talk some sense into those numbskulls.
The more people, the better.
Let's all meet back on the bridge if we find anything useful, okay?
Okay.
Wow... that's cool!
But what's the use?
It's not like we're gonna walk there on the bottom of the ocean.
Yeah, you're right.
Let's go look somewhere else.
Okay.
There.
Heave-ho! Heave-ho!
All right!
All right! Now let's plug the holes and pump out the bilge.
Hey, wait a second!
Think straight!
Can't you guys tell it's too dangerous heading out now?
Don't act like you're the leader, baldy.
Stay outta our way!
Don't act smart, cue ball.
What's wrong with this sushi chef?!
Don't get full of yourself.
How's it going?
No luck.
I give up.
If we get a storm,
the change in barometric pressure might affect the electromagnetic waves
enough to give us something, but...
Don't joke about a thing like that.
I don't want to have a storm at a place like this.
How'd it go?
Not good. They don't wanna hear anything I have to say.
How 'bout you?
I didn't find anything.
I see.
But I just can't understand it.
What's the objective of this phase?
There're no instructions...
All we have is an incomplete map...
A grounded battleship...
Countless shipwrecks...
And all that treasure we found.
All the decisions are up to us to make.
What exactly are they testing us on?
And how come there are so many shipwrecks here anyway?
Nothing makes sense. I think something bad is gonna happen.
Something bad...?
There it is again, that sound.
Huh?
It's coming from out there in the sea.
You don't hear it, Killua?
Not a thing. Nothing except the waves.
But I definitely heard something...
Hanzo...
How did it go?
I see... But that's not a surprise.
All of us here have relied on our own strengths and wisdoms
to make it this far.
I can understand why
they don't want to listen to what others have to say,
and why working with others is out of question for them.
But if this really is a test,
I have a feeling that it could end up costing them their lives.
I agree.
I can't quite explain it,
but my ninja instincts tell me we're right.
But what should we do?
They're not gonna change their minds just because of a hunch.
Right...
We've already done all that we can, too.
We are only wasting valuable time as is.
I know we've got to take action...
Kurapika...
There's something else that's been bothering me.
You can call it another one of my ninja instincts...
But I have an ominous feeling about this place, and it's getting stronger.
Something's going to happen.
I'm sure that's what this phase is all about.
It seems like that's the consensus amongst all of us who stayed, Kurapika.
And there's one thing we can accomplish before that "something" happens.
And that is...?
It's...
to choose a leader.
Does anyone have any objections?
Then it's decided.
Between now until we reach Zevil Island,
Hanzo will be the leader
and Kurapika will be his second in command...
Okay, Hanzo, it's up to you now.
I don't want to overstep my authority,
but there's one thing I want to tell you.
I'm a ninja.
Ninjas work best as a group.
Where I'm from, this teamwork is known as "wa" or harmony.
And this is the kind of situation where our "wa" is put to the test.
This'll only be for a short time, so let us work together as a team.
He makes a good speech...
But what is this ninja "wa" thing...
Wa... wa... like nagenawa, lasso?
This place is totally abandoned.
Hey, Killua, check this out.
It looks like the ship's logbook...
Good score! Nice find, Gon!
Huh?
This is great, Bro!
Yeah. This is the greatest find.
We've got this phase in the bag.
I see.
Apparently this ship was grounded here towards the end of the war
to be used as a gun battery.
This logbook was written by the commanding officer at the time.
So? Does it mention anything about Zevil Island?
Here it is!
It's close!
It's reachable in a day with a small boat!
All right! Let's get ready!
Ponzu here! We're picking up something on the radio!
We are getting some static noise.
It seems like the atmospheric pressure is becoming unstable.
The birds are frightened.
What's going on?
Look!
All right!
Now all we gotta do is load up with food and water and sail off!
Right!
Wh What the hell is that?!
The atmosphere...
It's distorting!
So that's what it was.
Huh?
This is why the radio didn't work.
There must've been something abnormal
about the atmosphere since this morning...
no, probably even before that.
And now with the sun setting, the angle of the light has changed
and that allowed us to see it with our eyes.
I hear it again!
Huh?
That noise!
I think it's coming from out at sea!
It's gotten closer.
Huh?
Are you sure, Gon?
I hear it now. It's faint but I can hear it too, Gon.
It was more faint earlier. But...
Fourth of July.
"Strange atmospheric disturbance.
The signs were observed so we began preparations to evacuate."
"The entire garrison will abandon this post
and will evacuate first thing tomorrow morning."
"Predictions indicate the first storm front will hit at dusk tomorrow.
Before it does..."
First storm front? What's that about?!
"As predicted, this phenomenon occurs once every ten years."
See ya later!
Take your time!
Bye-bye, cue-ball!
Cue ball!
I'll depend on the position of the stars from here.
What the...?!
That's...
A waterspout and a whirlpool have merged!
The distortion in the atmospheric pressure,
the sudden rising of the tide...
The phenomenon that's said to happen every ten years has just begun.
Ah, look!
That ship is being pulled in!
They're gonna...
Stop, Gon!
But!
It's too late, there's nothing we can do!
If Kamuri didn't freak out and run away,
I would've had the same fate.
Gerreta!
Gon!
The water level's about to go over the deck!
Everyone, back into the ship! Hurry!
Hanzo, the boat!
Come on!
What's going on, Bro?!
It's gonna make me dizzy!
There's something wrong with the wind current!
I can't control it. We're losing it!
Oh no!
We're gonna crash!
We gotta jump!
Are you serious, Bro?!
We're gonna die!
I'm here to help you!
Help me? How?
Gon!
With this!
Here we go!
Gon, catch this!
Everyone came back out onto the deck.
No one listens to the leader.
But Gerreta,
you told us earlier that you'd survive at any cost.
Lucky you... You just did, thanks to these guys.
All we can do is wait at this point.
Hey look, I think the tide's going out!
My my...
There's no time to relax.
A second storm is 24 hours away.
And the next one will be...
Are you saying the water's gonna get that high?!
No.
Twenty four hours from now...
Everything you see will be under water.
Unavoidable huge waves and waterspouts!
What can we do against those?!
Hey, I know!
Next time on Hunter x Hunter:
Big Waves x Big Cannon x Huge Rush!
Come back to life, 40 centimeter cannons!
