Encounter x Kuroro x Gold Dust Maiden
What's this? It's the same as Gon's.
I thought I'd get either a gold or platinum.
Welcome back, Killua!
That was fast!
Of course!
I passed in lightning speed!
Returning took longer than the actual exam.
It was a piece of cake!
Well... sorry to interrupt your celebration
but take a look at our spell cards.
Wow, cool! You've got tons.
So, have you tried any of them?
Well, we tried Blackout Curtains, but...
we don't know how the rest work.
What?
Now that we have plenty we'd better take advantage of them.
We'll have to get used to using them, or else we won't be able to use them effectively.
I guess you're right
Lets start by trying this one.
Contact?
Yeah.
It lets you talk for three minutes to any player you've met before.
Lets check how many players we've met.
Here goes.
Contact, On!
Lets see...
Oh, there's quite a few of them.
Hey, Gon.
When exactly did you meet this guy?
Kuroro Lucifer.
We haven't seen Kuroro.
Not in the game, if it's the same Kuroro.
Umm... what are you talking about?
Who's this "Kuroro"?
So, you either didn't recognize each other,
or only he recognized you and...
But it's weird...
He should still be under the hold of Kurapica's Nen.
I said, who's Kurapica?
That's true...
you can't enter the game without using Nen.
So, we can conclude that...
Let me in the conversation, too!
There is a way to remove one's Nen ability you know.
Really?
Of course.
Nen can be placed on people, so being able to remove it shouldn't be all that strange, right?
Well, yeah.
It's an ability called Jyonen.
But very few can use it.
That would mean Kuroro removed Kurapica's Nen and entered the game.
Why would he be here though?
I don't know, but..
we better let Kurapica in on this.
Yeah.
All right, I'm going out again.
Use a spell card.
Keep it I'll be back in about four hours.
Later!
We'll leave it to you, Killua!
I see now... so that's how it is.
Hey Shar... quit snickering and explain.
Oh, sorry.
Kuroro's name is here, but it's probably not really him.
Are you sure?
Of course.
There is a possibility that he already removed the Nen and entered the game,
crossing our path without us recognizing him.
But there is a more likely explanation.
He hasn't found a Jyonen user yet,
so he came here without realizing that this is Greed Island.
Book.
What do you mean?
Why didn't I notice earlier?
This place is east of Yorkshin.
Remember Boss' prophecy?
An intermission will be granted.
It will be good to find new comrades.
If traveling east is best.
You will meet one who will be waiting.
I see...
So the boss came here looking for a Jyonen user without realizing it.
He most likely entered the same way we did,
and was immediately expelled by Razor.
Only then did he realize this was Greed Island.
I see.
Since the boss can't use Nen...
That's right.
Since he can't enter the normal way by using Nen,
He got someone else to use his name in order to give us a message.
So, that means...
the Jyonen user is here somewhere.
Looks like our objective has changed again.
Let's contact the others then.
You're right.
Lets use everything we've got to find the Jyonen user.
Once we find him, we'll hand him over to Kuroro.
I'd like to tweak that little deduction of yours.
It can't be!
Hisoka.
It was my idea to use Kuroro's name.
When I entered the game, I knew that players could assume any name they wanted.
You should praise me.
Thanks to that I conveyed my message to you perfectly.
Why you...
Stop blabbering nonsense!
You should just do what you're supposed to do!
Plus we all know what you want!
As much as I'd like to finish you off here,
I'll let the boss handle that!
Well, if you find something please contact me.
Since I'll be doing the same if I get any news.
See you!
So the boss asked Hisoka, huh?
We can't do anything about it,
but it's still strange...
He'll get the fight he's looking for.. after the Nen is removed.
Nevertheless, its only a matter of time before the boss comes back.
That's impossible.
If he...
No, if the Spiders had removed it...
I would have known it.
You mean, that's something you considered when you used the technique?
Of course.
Since some Nen abilities can be used against people,
it's only logical that there are abilities to remove it.
Well, in any case I've done my part.
So, I'll leave the rest to you now.
Thanks for notifying me.
No problem.
Bye.
It's not Kuroro,
but I get the feeling they're somehow related.
I don't understand...
Why can't I do it anymore?
You called for me?
What should I do... this month?
Tell me! What am I supposed to do?
Don't worry.
Leave everything to me.
Everything is progressing as planned.
What do you know?
How would you know anything of the future?
Neon! It's Neon!
Quickly get her back to normal!
Damn it, damn it, damn it...
Why did it turn out this way?
How was it?
Seems like he's not the real one.
I see.
But he was surprisingly calm when I mentioned Kuroro.
I expected him to be more surprised.
Well, it's good not to jump to conclusions.
Now, lets focus on our own tasks.
Osu!
Gon, go ahead and show Killua...
your ultimate technique.
Sure.
First is Rock!
Rock, Paper... Paper!
Next.
First is Rock!
Rock, Paper... Scissors!
All right!
I did it, I did it!
Don't tell me this is the first time you've done it!
No way! It's my fifth!
So, how many times have you failed?
But, my success rate has gone up!
Its 1-to-10 now!
Thats fine.
But do you really have to keep saying that intro before executing your moves?
Your "First is Rock! Rock, paper, ..." thing.
Well... if I don't it won't seem like an ultimate technique, right?
I guess.
But, then the enemy will be able to anticipate your moves.
You'd just be wide open for attacks.
What will you do if he attacks while you're saying it?
I'll just evade as I say it
And what if you can't?
I'll still do it.
What?!
Hey., are you sure he'll be fine?
First is Rock!
Well, I'm concerned about it too.
Rock, Paper...
But he's obsessed with it, so...
First is Rock!
Rock, Paper... Paper!
It's actually quite logical.
And his opponent will probably not like it.
Rock is a short ranged attack.
Scissors is mid-ranged.
While Paper is long ranged.
Thus forming a three pronged attack.
With more work, it'll be a formidable weapon.
By the way, what about you?
Me?
I decided to go with this one.
I see.
So you're going to use it with your electricity.
Seems like you've thought it through.
It should make a good weapon.
You think so?
I'm still thinking of other techniques.
One more time!
First is Rock! Ro-
Gon, stop.
Both of you have done well to get to this level.
So, we should get down to business...
of actually clearing this game.
What do you think?
Huge, isn't it?
Yeah.
It's making my neck all stiff.
This tree is said to house legendary King White Stag Beetles.
Try catching some.
They usually hide deep within the tree and rarely surface.
There is only one way to capture them.
You have to shake the tree by striking it...
...in the morning when they come out.
I bet there are other ways to do it.
Like setting traps...
Well, it is a game.
You should strike this point.
Meager strength won't shake this tree, though.
Only seven people have managed to catch them up until now.
That's quite a few people then!
But a few thousand have tried in vain.
There aren't any enemies around here,
so don't hold back.
Yeah.
Hey, hey, bare hands?
I'll lend you my hammer if you want.
I don't need it.
First is Rock!
Rock, Paper... Rock!
It's raining bugs!
Wow, there's tons!
There are loads of stag and normal beetles!
Ah, found one!
A King White Stag Beetle.
There's one here too.
Here's another!
We now have three King White Stag Beetle cards!
Man... I've guarded this forest for some time,
but this is the first time I've seen, someone get three in one shot.
But I held back a little.
I figured I'd probably damage the tree if I went all out.
All right.
Lets gather as many cards as we can here.
We can always trade them later.
That guy said only seven had succeeded, right?
Trading should be a cinch,
since tons of them tried but failed.
I see.
It's no use.
Although the maximum card limit is thirty...
we could only turn the first three into cards.
Seems like someone had thought of the same thing earlier.
Okay.
Lets move to the next, then.
You want to rescue a young girl imprisoned in this mansion?
Only a select few may enter.
And no such girl exists.
If you try sneaking in,
you might set off traps set throughout the mansion.
You'll probably die before finding her room.
Didn't he say that she doesn't exist?
Well, narrators do slip up every so often.
Hey, I found her.
She was in a hidden room on the basement's fourth level.
What!?
How did you escape those traps!?
Eh? I thought they were attractions.
They were traps?
Why you...
We got the Gold Dust Maiden from the Girl Series!
That's an A rank card.
The guard must've been a F rank.
Next is South.
If we head south from the tree at the starting point,
there will be a gambling city called Dorias.
There, they award three cards in an event.
Wow, when did you find that out?
I went to gather information.
I didn't just idle while you were training.
With this facade, players let their guards down and tell me quite a bit.
"I want to go home, but I don't have any cards to trade..."
Then, they'd tell me all that I wanted to know!
Say, tomorrow is the fifteenth, isn't it?
What happens on the fifteenth?
It's Antokiba's monthly tournament!
Since we're passing through there, let's drop by.
This time we have loads of defense cards.
The winner is...
the Killua and Gon team!
We got the Paladin's Necklace!
What is this card for?
I read the explanation, but I still don't really get it.
We should just ask at the trading shop.
So long as you wear it,
it constantly casts Reflect for the player.
Additionally, any cards changed by Clone or Transform
are changed back to their original form simply by touching them.
That means...
We won't have to worry about our cards getting stolen if we use this!
All right, now we have nothing to fear!
Lets go to the gambling city of Dorias!
Yay!
Witch's Love Potion!
Helm of Learning!
Risky Dice!
We got them all!
We did it!
Piece of cake!
All right lets keep this pace!
Piece of cake?
Far from it.
It's all due to their three long months of training.
We can get pocket cards from these slot machines.
We need three sevens to get them.
However, our chance of getting one is 0.01%
In other words, that's one in every 10,000 tries
Each attempt costs 50 zennies,
so it'd be around 50,000 zennies to get one card.
The element of chance is way too high here.
It sure is risky
Risk?
Oh yeah, Gon... pass me that dice!
The Risky Dice... hand it over.
I'm counting on you.
Super lucky, all right!
We did it!
Amazing!
We got it in one try!
We got the Rainbow Diamond.
I knew it
These dice were key items to completing this town.
It wouldn't be too pretty if "bad luck" came out though.
Don't worry.
The probability of getting that is only five percent.
It won't happen that often.
A slot machine blew up and injured its player!
I knew something was going on!
There's no way you can get five jackpots in a row!
He was using some strange dice though.
Hey let's stop using it.
No, Just one more time!
Oh yeah, that's just like him all right.
It was the same way in Yorkshin too.
Well, in the worst case, we can stop him by force.
I won! Yay!
We got the Gambler's Egg.
That's enough of the dice, okay?
Just one more time wouldn't...
Let's sell our extra dice.
Yeah!
Now lets go the next city!
