"I never knew how frustrating weakness could be!" "Gon..." "For the thirty days that you can't use Nen..." "I'll protect you." "I will do whatever it takes!" "One Wish x And x Two Promises to ask the Hunters a favor." "His wish was that they save the dying Queen." "Morel and Knov took Colt to see Netero." "It's me." "Send over a team of Chimera Ant researchers immediately." "Hmm?" "The king has been born. and have him bring all his skilled surgeons and artificial organ experts." "We leave in four hours." "sir." "We will do everything we can." "Colt-kun..." "We'll need your cooperation." "Heart" "This may be the last time I wear this... is that... it's his "heart" T-shirt." "Heart" "They say it's a lucky shirt he only wears when he fights for real." "But I always thought it was a just a rumor... it appears that you can use Nen... I want you to give me your honest opinion." "How do I compare to the King?" "He really is special..." "It feels like needles pricking me all over my body. you will be unable to lay a finger on him." "You'll be killed by one of his Royal Guard before you can get close enough." "I see..." "I'm happy to hear that." "I'll be a challenger." "This is exciting stuff." "yes?" "Yes. to the nest." "Chairman?" "You don't plan to pursue the King alone?" "no..." "I'm off to see an old acquaintance." "Don't forget to pay me my one million." "I know." "What are you talking about?" "Nothing important." "Let's go." "Yeah." "Everyone else has left." "Most of our soldiers joined other squadrons and left." "Though a few oddballs did leave their squadrons to stay here." "I suppose it's fortunate no fighting broke out." "Did you stop the bleeding?" "but I couldn't do anything else for her." "either." "Don't expect too much." "we'll hook her up to artificial organs." "Can you use my organs?" "as well!" "it won't work." "Chimera Ants from different generations are completely different organisms." "Just look at how much the Chimera Ants in your own generation vary." "But the sentiment is appreciated." "so pray... all the organs will function." "Pray..." "Is that all I can do?" "Someone..." "Is anyone there?" "I am by your side!" "Please give me your command!" "What is it?" "Telepathy? the Queen cannot speak as we do." "Can you tell us what she's saying?" "Perhaps she has a hint for saving her life." "My son..." "Is my son all right?" "Did he have any defects?" "...defects?" "You have nothing to worry about." "and right now... he's taken the Royal Guard to search for medicine to help you." "...to help you. he left in search of a new territory." "I doubt he will return." "He ate them?" "The King has no concern for the Queen's health!" "the King is safe?" "Yes." "That is wonderful... no." "Send the King off at once." "There is no time to waste on my well-being..." "My son has the potential to rule the world. so I was very worried." "it appears..." "I have fulfilled my duty..." "That was all I wanted." "What are you saying?" "!" "You are our guiding light... the rest of us will lose our way and perish." "I know my body better than anyone else..." "I will not last much longer." "I have no regrets." "Please stop!" "I beg you..." "Please live!" "Use my body!" "Please!" "Give it a shot!" "you don't know it won't work!" "Listen..." "You must listen to what the Queen has to say." "I have one last request..." "I thought of a name... for my son." "For the King..." "A name?" "Meruem." "It means the light that illuminates all." "Deliver my message to him..." "My beloved son..." "I failed to protect her again..." "I can't protect anyone..." "Has something like this happened before?" "he's probably referring to a memory from when he was human." "You have memories from when you were human?" "some remember more than others..." "Our human personalities strongly influence our current behavior." "And many can remember their human names." "it wouldn't have been as easy to learn to speak." "Hmm?" "Th-This is..." "There's..." "There's something moving!" "Don't touch it!" "I will..." "I will remove it." "I shall protect this child..." "I swear it!" "I won't fail..." "Morel?" "Colt..." "Can you promise me that you and that child will never eat humans? you should get out of my sight immediately." "But if you're willing to give your word... not as long as I'm around." "You have my promise!" "It isn't a big deal..." "I inherited my soft nature from my master." "I've recovered!" "Knuckle and the other Hunters will save Kite." "So I have to become stronger!" "So that Kite won't be disappointed when he comes back." "so you do understand. but we've spent more time with him." "I would've given you a beating..." "And told you that Kite wouldn't want to see you two like this. and he doesn't want you to have regrets." "what should you do?" "and find the will to follow through!" "train more." "There's enough space here for squats and push-ups." "you're right." "Spin..." "Hmm?" "Why do you want to be a Hunter?" "I need the money to repay a huge debt." "Have you heard of the small-billed swan?" "Nope..." "It's a species of bird that can only live in the area around a certain mine." "No one knows why that is." "Is it the water?" "The food?" "The weather?" "So I bought the entire area where the mine is." "the mine's closed down now." "Kite provided the money for that." "He was the first adult who was willing to listen to kids who had nothing at all." "Stinn and I were born in that area." "The sight of thousands of small-billed swans taking flight with the light of dawn at their backs... memory Stinn and I have. we realized how important it was to us..." "Kite said that he envied us." "He doesn't have a home." "Because he doesn't know where he was born." "I can show you two my treasure." "Th-This is..." "Goal!" "I am the Speed King." "No one can stop me!" "he's probably already crossed the border." "I'll take my time searching... with plenty of food and females." "bears..." "I'll take any of those if they're plentiful." "Because I am the Glutton King." "The Chimera Ants that were once soldiers have now departed to become kings." "the King is now in the Republic of East Gorteau." "Next time:" "Date x With x Palm." "A date!" "A date!" "do you understand what a date is?" "Huh?" "Sure." "It's when a man and woman—" "Th-Th-That's enough!"
