Reunion x Hisoka x Sports Battle
And who are these people?
Guests.
Seems they want to drive us off this island.
Oh?
Well, let's just skip to the battle then.
Each side will have 15 players with each fighting one match.
The side to obtain 8 wins first will be the victor.
Our side will decide how we'll fight.
And if you win, we'll leave the island.
How about it?
I have a question.
What will happen if we lose?
Nothing really...
We'd just have you leave this place.
All right, you're on.
Okay, the battle will be in sports.
The members here will challenge you in a sport they're good at.
All right, let's finish our business, kid.
I'll challenge you in sumo.
Get over here!
Not just yet.
What?!
Let's leave my show for later.
If you don't mind, I'll do it after 7 wins.
Come on now... calm down a little.
I'll go first.
My sport will be boxing.
So, who's up against me?
You should know that each person can only fight one match.
Having one player win numerous matches is not allowed.
I'd like to confirm something.
We can use Nen, right?
Of course.
We'll be using loads of it.
All right, I'm up for it.
Are you familiar with the rules of boxing?
Just knock the opponent out using only your fists, right?
Thats correct, but we abide by a special rule.
Anything created from Nen may be used as a weapon.
What the hell!?
So if guns were materialized, they'd be allowed?!
That's not boxing!
Relax... I'll be fighting using just my fists.
"Anything created from Nen may be used as a weapon" is more of a rule for you.
Or, would you rather swap places with someone else?
Nope... count me in.
Then it's settled.
Each round will last 3 minutes.
There'll be no judges.
If neither gets KO'd, the battle will keep going.
Fight!
I can tell... why you chose to challenge us in boxing.
I'm surprised you dodged it.
Without anticipating my move, that would've been impossible.
You're an emission-type Nen user, right?
Fighting within a confined area while keeping your distance...
To emission users, this is our forte.
Well, you overlooked one thing:
The existence of a superior emission user.
All right, he's down!
Those were simply unavoidable.
Nope.
They exchanged hits simultaneously.
What?
Both are down.
Why?
One.
Two.
What just happened?
Three.
Four.
Five.
Six.
Seven.
Eight.
Can you continue?
Of course.
Nine.
Ten.
The match is over.
This makes the score 1-0 in our favor.
I'm an emission user, but his "overlooking" crap was all wrong.
Hey, tell me.
What just happened?
These guys are hopeless.
He instantaneously teleported.
Instantaneously teleported?
Oh? So someone noticed it, eh?
A short uppercut... just the fist.
Our guy threw many shots, but they were merely small jabs.
The opponent used a fatal uppercut.
It was a clean hit on an unprotected jaw.
The outcome was obvious.
Well... I'm up next.
My game will be juggling a soccer ball.
Gon, Bisuke.
Huh?
True, that'll be best for us now.
Yes! I'll go next.
Oh? Since the little lady is up I'll make sure she doesn't get hurt.
Get hurt from juggling balls?
Let me explain the rules.
The person who juggles the ball longest wins.
However, attacking the opponent with Nen is allowed.
Anything goes except for touching the ball with your hands.
Okay, got it.
Okay. So, ready...
Go!
Oh?
This is harder than I thought.
I lose.
Man... I lost.
I lose.
You dirty brat!
You lost on purpose!
I see.
After learning about the battles and their rules, the forfeit them.
Knowing that they can't win with this party, they're data mining instead.
A pretty good way to approach it.
I can't underestimate those three.
They'll probably visit again...
with a stronger group next time.
What do you plan to do?
Same thing you'll be doing...
Finding stronger teammates.
You're going to try again, right?
Otherwise, our plan would be useless.
I'm Gorain.
If you join me...
then instead of finding 14 people, I'll need three less.
The strongest person here should be Kuroro.
But... Kurapica was 100% sure that he's an imposter, so...
But, he knows of his name, right?
Well, he's probably someone from the Ryodan.
You never know.
If we do meet him, he might end up being someone else.
But if he's a Ryodan, I won't team up with him.
I'll just talk to him.
Then why go through the trouble of confirming his identity?
Like I said, he's definitely one of them.
Even if he is one of them,
I'd still like to know why he'd use Kuroro's name in this game.
Are you stupid?!
If he had a reason, it'd be an important one!
There's no way he'd tell us!
Well, sorry for being stupid.
Since I AM stupid, I'd really want to confirm it!
Are they all right?
This happens all the time.
Well, suit yourself!
Yeah, I will!
Looking closer, they're just ordinary kids...
Okay, here we go.
Get on with it.
Accompany, On!
To Kuroro Lucifer!
My oh my... what unexpected guests.
That voice...
Hisoka!
Long time no see.
Just what I expected.
Instantly assuming that battle stance.
You've grown quite a bit, haven't you?
Looks like you've found quite a fine master.
As I predicted, you've grown into ripe and tasty fruit...
Who is this pervert?
Is he the "Kuroro" guy?
N-No, it's not him... but...
Are you their master?
No... he doesn't look like it.
Eyaaaaa!
It's her, huh?
She s probably a Transformation type Nen user.
Wonderful eye-candy!
So? What do you want from me, or rather, from Kuroro ?
I want to ask you something.
Why are you here?
Now then, what should I do...?
If I tell them the truth...
Knowing those two, they'll try to stop me from handing the Jyonen user over to the Spiders.
That in itself is interesting, but...
I don't want my fight with Kuroro delayed further.
I'm looking for Kuroro.
You know the Nen that Kurapica cast on Kuroro?
Actually, there's a way to remove it.
It's called Jyonen, right?
Oh, you knew... that makes things much easier then.
Cheh, I thought they'd be more surprised.
And?
I was looking for Kuroro to tell him that, but I had no leads.
That's when I remembered that some Spiders were interested in this game.
Members of the Ryodan would know the location of their leader,
so by using this name, chances are they'd approach me.
I see.
He used to pretend to be one of the Ryodan.
Yeah.
Now, it's my turn to ask the questions.
You couldn't have bothered to see me just to ask that, right?
No, that was it.
He was the one who insisted on meeting you in person.
Umm... would you like to join us?
We're recruiting as many strong people as possible.
Sure... I've got nothing better to do anyway.
Hold on!
I'm against it.
He's dangerous.
That's right.
Bisuke, you don't know him, so...
Oh? That's not true.
I happen to sense that he's very friendly.
He is lying.
To be accurate, he's not lying, but merely keeping the truth from us.
How can you tell?
Well, by intuition.
I-Intuition?! Just that?
After lying for 50 years, I can differentiate... truth from lies.
When you put it that way, its rather convincing.
He's hiding something about Kuroro.
so one way to find out is by keeping a close eye on him.
More importantly, he's strong, right?
Yeah.
Being watched from the rear... gives me the creeps.
Hey, why don't you walk ahead of us.
Oh?
Watching you both from behind doesn't bore me.
Bore him?
Sure... I've got nothing better to do anyway.
Nothing better to do... bored...
In other words, Hisoka isn't searching for the Spiders.
No, he found them already.
This way, things fit Bisuke's reasoning that he's hiding the truth.
Hisoka has found the Ryodan members in the game and is waiting for something.
What could it be?
It's obvious.
The Jyonen user.
The Jyonen user is somewhere in this game.
And both Hisoka and the Ryodan know it.
Killua?
What's wrong?
No, nothing.
I see...
I wonder if he's still mad at me.
I can't tell him.
He's not good at lying.
If Hisoka knew that we found out, he'd probably leave us.
If that happens, we'd lose not only a teammate but the Ryodan's movements too.
That must be avoided at all costs.
Say, Killua.
Yeah, what is it?
I've been thinking about something.
If we're recruiting, it'd be best if we got Tsezugera-san.
He probably has companions of his own.
We know his objectives, so negotiations would be much easier.
Even if we don't recruit him,
we should meet up and get his name into our binder.
Knowing who he's with would sure be useful.
The binder, huh?
I can confirm my theory with that.
Whether Hisoka has met the Ryodan or not...
I just need to look into Hisoka's binder to know for sure.
Hisoka, may I see the list of people in your binder?
List?
The binder keeps a record of everyone you've met in a player list.
So I wanna see if you've met someone called Tsezugera.
Oh? I never knew that.
How do I view it?
In a way the timings nice.
If I were to snoop, Hisoka might become extra vigilant.
Gon can't be two-faced, so Hisoka won't be suspicious.
Just use this card and put it in the last page.
Then the names will be displayed on screen.
I see.
If Hisoka doesn't reveal his binder my theory will be verified.
Book.
Tsezugera... Tsezugera...
Oh, I have met him.
Really?
Yeah.
See here?
He showed them?!
No way...
Let's see...
Ah, found it.
They're not here.
None of the Ryodan's names are here.
Maybe I was wrong...
Yes, that's probably the most realistic way.
Yeah...
I only doubted him because of Bisuke's intuition...
Then, Hisoka... can you cast this?
Leave the negotiating to us.
Oh? I never knew such useful things existed.
It really worked... my deceit that is.
I masked the Ryodan members' names with fake ones.
Okay, let's go.
Accompany, On!
To Tsezugera.
I see.
You want to work with us, retrieve the Tsubo of Coast and make duplicates with Clone.
That's not a bad idea.
You only have five people on your side?
Yeah, as you can see.
So together we only have 9 people.
What about the rest?
The remaining 6 can be anyone just to meet the requirements.
We need 15 people to activate the event.
We can recruit players who want to return to the real world but cannot.
We can't count on them to be of help, but...
We just have to give them cards that will return them to the real world.
Exactly.
In exchange, the 9 of us have to win 8 games.
Since our opponents will determine it, do you have a plan?
From what I've seen, the boss aside, they're all weaker than us.
So, the rest depends on our abilities.
Show us your Ren.
We'll decide on your recruitment thereafter.
My, my... haven't the tables turned?
Well, that's fine by me.
Here goes.
Wow!
Amazing!
When I use my full strength, I can get even higher.
My vertical jump record stands at 16.8 meters.
Before he jumped, he probably focused his aura under his feet.
Let's try it too!
All right... 1, 2... 3!
They far surpassed my record...
T-They... in such a short time, how much have they grown?
Yay, I win!
Damn it, damn it, damn it!
Not bad... though you're a little short of my best height.
All right, one more time.
No way. You won't quit until you win.
One more time, just one more time!
Oh yeah, you pass.
Nice jump.
Hey, one more time!
All right.
Damn it!
Sorry... they're just kids, so please forgive them.
We trust your skills, but we have to play sports this time.
So deciding who plays what sport will be vital.
Do you know all of the sports that are played?
These are the eight we know of.
Hey Killua...just one more time, okay?
See, I told you!
No more. I win.
Depending on the outcome, they might even change to another sport that they are better in.
I see... I'll take Beach Volleyball.
I'll take wrestling.
Sumo's mine.
Hey, hey, Killua... just one last time.
You're so annoying!
Leave the boxing to me.
I've got a plan to counter the opponent's Nen ability.
Really? So, I'll have to choose something else...
You're inexperienced in every sport, right?
You were actually serious at free throwing but missed everything.
Then, I'll do the free throw.
Bowling would suit me.
If I use my Nen, I can get a perfect score easily.
I can even somewhat predict my opponent's movement.
I'll try juggling the soccer ball.
If I use my Bungee Gum, I should be able to win.
I'll take ping pong.
That means... you'll be my beach volleyball partner.
Well, after seeing you jump, attacking won't be a problem.
But you won't stand a chance without experience.
Let's get straight to practicing.
W-What?
Well, let's look for the remaining people.
Hey, this is bad...
What's wrong?
Gensuru's team has... 97 cards.
So the cards they're still missing are...
Tsubo of Coast and Lucky Alexandrite.
