"for verification... from the Troupe?" "Of course." "She's telling the truth." "I will present each of you with two conditions." "I will release your leader." "Pakunoda." "He's more concerned about his friends than killing me for his vengeance." "That is the chain user's weakness!" "Signal x To x Retreat" "I'll begin with the leader." "you are forbidden to use Nen." "Second..." "Am I certain about this?" "the spider will fall apart." "That was the whole idea." "But..." "I have no value as a hostage." "Everything he says is true." "even without a head." "The leader isn't absolute... the group is willing to abandon its leader." "That is the nature of the Phantom Troupe." "but that won't cripple the Troupe!" "is there any alternative?" "Is there some kind of miracle that can get me out of this bind?" "!" "There isn't." "I can think of nothing... this is right." "this is what I should do." "I must get them back." "That is my top priority!" "I don't want to lose any more friends!" "you may not contact any member of the Troupe." "Those are the two conditions. on your leader." "Pakunoda." "Okay." "Pakunoda. without any tricks." "you may not speak a single word about me." "I will use my chain on you." "Okay. could you tell from their heartbeats?" "It's certainly possible." "and I know how his normal heartbeat sounds." "So I could tell if anything had changed." "That's good enough." "I have something to say before the exchange." "Kurapika... you sense that something is amiss." "Why did she come alone? this deal would be impossible." "You people are the ones on the ropes. and their boss accepts them." "But what about the others?" "This woman appears to be different." "This woman you despise with everything you have is driven by the same motive that drives you." "She wishes her boss." "You must have realized this." "Start by returning to your companions." "Inform them of the hostage exchange." "I want you to bring the hostages to Lingon Airport before midnight." "Bring no one else." "Tell no one where you're going." "Very well." "You have a deal." "Take me back to the airport." "Why haven't you asked any questions?" "don't you?" "You aren't worried?" "You don't find this deal unreasonable?" "Do you truly believe I'll return your leader?" "Yes." "You wouldn't ask those questions if you intended to deceive me." "Does he really expect us to accept those conditions?" "Pakunoda." "then deal with the chain user." "You're insisting?" "I insist." "I won't let you leave." "and I am taking the kids alone." "Don't interfere." "Interfere?" "Who's the one interfering with our plans?" "!" "Pakunoda." "We'll stop them." "Stop us?" "Are you trying to insult us?" "You're serious?" "I don't get it." "Have you lost your minds?" "I bet they were defeated by the chain user before we arrived." "They're probably under his control." "This is a waste of time." "I'll make them talk." "Is it really so hard to understand?" "You don't understand why Pakunoda wants to leave without a word?" "You don't understand why Machi is stopping you?" "You honestly think they're being controlled?" "They want to rescue your boss!" "Is it so hard to understand the desire to save a friend?" "kid!" "Are you that desperate to be spared?" "I'm not doing this for my sake." "Take back those words!" "Good grief." "come here." "I'll rip your head off." "Then I won't budge an inch!" "Kurapika isn't like you. he wouldn't lose control and kill them without mercy. he will definitely keep his word!" "Pakunoda knows this." "he'll return your boss!" "kid..." "Don't think you can say anything you want!" "That's enough." "Let Pakunoda go." "You're siding with them? what would our worst-case scenario be? and the two kids escape... you've got it wrong." "The worst-case scenario would be that we all die and the spider perishes." "your scenario would be quite pleasant." "Am I wrong?" "you're right." "I don't care about your reasons." "You're being too reliant on the boss. that's the greatest betrayal you could make toward the boss." "that could well happen." "Cool off." "Let them have their way..." "Pakunoda can take the kids. and start to rebuild the spider." "It's extremely simple." "I'm fine with that." "If that's what it takes to satisfy you." "and it won't be easy to kill me." "Hello?" "Put the hostages on the phone." "Don't break it!" "Are you okay?" "Are they there?" "they're all here." "Hey!" "We're following your orders." "Aren't you going to follow them?" "The chain user can't monitor our location now." "Shut up." "you'll all stop me." "I'll just sit and wait." "too." "Go ahead." "Board the waiting airship." "The pilot already has his orders." "it's just the three of them." "We can't be sure until the airship takes off." "Stay alert." "There's someone over there." "That's" "Hisoka!" "Hi..." "Why are you here?" "!" "Did you sneak out?" "No need for concern..." "I left a dummy behind." "Hurry up." "I can only change my face for four to five hours." "What are you up to?" "Allow me on the airship with them." "I'll kill Gon and Killua." "Bastard..." "Just kidding." "That would be such a waste." "My target is the boss." "I'll get off the airship." "I want to fight him." "That's all I want." "place the phone next to your heart." "nothing's wrong with him." "let's begin the exchange!" "you die." "Now you will get to experience the pain of losing your home." "I've waited a long time for this moment." "Now..." "Let's do this." "I no longer need this. so you needn't hold back." "I see." "so we can talk." "I can't fight you." "I'm not worth fighting." "He used his Judgment Chain on my heart." "I can no longer use my Nen." "We can leave." "Oh..." "Hisoka returned to the airship without fighting. so he explained about my chains." "I'm not surprised that Hisoka wasn't interested in fighting someone without Nen." "He wasn't a Troupe member?" "No." "How did you sneak out?" "I have a friend who's good with disguises." "Don't worry." "I no longer have any reason to kill Chrollo." "I'm not interested in broken toys." "You can slip out now..." There." "That's right." "My real fortune mentioned" "I would have a date with the boss on Tuesday. the Troupe was supposed to be down to half its members." "bit by bit." "I'm sorry for putting you in danger." "Nah... right?" "but..." "This isn't the end." "Meow." "Where's the boss?" "He won't be coming here." "Don't mess with me." "Explain yourself!" "Depending on your response..." "Don't worry." "In return..." "I can only shoot six bullets at once." "That's enough for the remaining founding members." "Feitan." "Phinks." "Machi." "Nobunaga." "Shalnark." "Franklin." "Do you trust me?" "you can't mean to... are you being controlled by—" "Phinks!" "Have some faith." "It's Paku." "My memories..." "My feelings..." "I pass them all to you." "Please..." "Let all this end with me..." "Paku." "She's dead." "What's going on?" "Let me explain." "I understand everything." "Pakunoda was..." "I hope Kurapika's fever doesn't break." "Yeah... did you just say what I think you said?" "Kurapika shouldn't fight the Troupe anymore." "I thought of something when Kurapika told me about his powers. he would have chosen different abilities." "Really? he wouldn't have gone to the trouble of chaining their hearts." "Maybe if he only had one target." "But Kurapika's dealing with the entire Troupe." "he can't kill them right away." "And he needs to extract information about the other members." "Oh... I think his powers were meant specifically for revenge." "Oh..." "But that was his original objective." "Kurapika is different now." "I have good friends..." "But you do have a point." "I'd prefer him to stay still for a while. they'll be even more determined to find Kurapika." "Yeah." "We'll have to be extremely careful when we go to the auction house." "do you really have a plan for obtaining a copy of Greed Island ?" "Your plan is all we have to go on!" "but it's a fifty-fifty deal." "didn't you say it had a seventy percent chance?" "I get it..." "That's clever." "that may be our only shot." "Realistic and sound." "I think it has an eighty percent chance!" "Really?" "we can make it work!" "The auction is in Hall B." "That way." "Over there." "Wow!" "Huh?" "Why are they here?" "How would I know?" "!" "that was cold." "No need to run away." "Why wouldn't we run away?" "Don't worry." "We're not going to kill you." "Because we can't kill the chain user now." "Huh?" "What do you mean?" "Huh?" "Didn't he use his chains on the boss?" "That means we can't kill him." "Why not?" "Isn't it the other way around?" "It's pretty useful to have someone who's willing to ask questions." "Nen doesn't necessarily disappear after death." "Nen that's driven by hatred and regret can persist a long time after death." "That Nen will direct itself toward the target of those emotions. he could be overwhelmed by that assault." "Residual Nen can be quite fearsome." "That's why we can't kill the chain user." "I'm talking too much?" "I know." "I won't say another word." "There are Nen users who can remove other people's Nen." "huh... we're done with you kids." "We just came to enjoy the auction." "The other members wanted to go home." "what happened to Pakunoda-san?" "She died." "Huh?" "Oh..." "Why don't you run away?" "Run away?" "you should be able to escape. and the chain user could kill the boss." "So why don't you run away?" "Aren't you on his side?" "Because we're his friends." "we don't want him to kill." "So we'd prefer this to be settled with an exchange." "What's wrong?" "Let's go." "Paku..." "Paku wanted to thank you." "the story moves into the Greed Island arc." "Gon and Killua's Hunterpedia" "Brush Your Teeth." "Unripe Fruit we have Gon and Killua's" "Hunterpedia!" "It's Gon and Killua's" "Hunterpedia!" "Gon and Killua's Hunterpedia we introduce Chrollo." "Boss of the Phantom Troupe." "The Phantom Troupe's boss." "A Specialist." "He's a Specialist. using his Skill Hunter!" "an appropriate ability for a bandit." "But conditions have to be met." "huh..." "Next time:" "Bid x And x Haste." "A bid in haste makes waste." "Hey!" "That's no good..."
