"that have recently been sighted. and the amount of evidence supporting the existence of these creatures." "many of the witnesses are active members of the police force." "And over half of the officers who have rushed to the scenes have been killed by these creatures." "These are images of unidentified creatures that have been attacking the police." "You can see the victims on the ground at the creatures' feet. and show no fear of humans." "A prime example is this interview with the lion man of Nevaska." "He spoke at length of a crude theory about the existence of a kingdom. she asked the question on every viewer's mind." "Can you prove that you truly are what you claim?" "Those were her last words." "the unidentified creatures have only appeared on the Yorbian continent. and no effective method of dealing with them has been found." "Sorry for the wait." "let's go." "A x Lawless x Home" "They're known as Chimera Ants." "I know." "They became that way after mixing with humans. they probably originated in the Balsa Islands." "Lots of strange nations are in that area." "You shouldn't be talking about how strange other people are." "But they were once ants..." "So they should just stay close to their nest." "Why come all the way out here?" "No idea." "or perhaps they were drawn to the smell of garbage." "It can't be a coincidence." "Both NGL and East Gorteau are nations that share no information with the outside world." "Just like this place." "That makes it easier for them to invade." "It's been quite a long time." "The place hasn't changed..." "What's the situation?" "we're seeing over three hundred dead." "so we can't fight back." "The council is still arguing about how to classify the dead." "What do you mean?" "this was an ordinary human." "The Ants did this?" "Looks dead to me." "What's the problem?" "Some are alive and working with the Ants." "And all of them look like monsters." "The council's debate is whether to declare them dead based on whether or not there's a way to restore them to their original forms." "They can't avenge them because they're too busy arguing over whether they're dead or mutated?" "Nothing's changed." "They always lose sight of what's important." "We're going to do things our way." "we'll take them down." "Don't worry. we'll exterminate this so-called Queen." "I am the Queen." "I repeat." "Surrender." "Those who resist will be executed."

"Then I'll go this way." "I'll take this way." "We're splitting up?" "Of course..." "It's a race to see who'll kill the Queen." "I imagine you'd prefer to hide your abilities from us." "Kill anything that attacks you." "you're the interim boss." "Understood." "Start!" "They've scattered." "I can sense that these intruders are special." "They are accustomed to living in the wild." "Are they strong?" "Yes." "Then go and greet them." "no one will be here to guard you. capture the enemy and hurry back." "Pike." "Y-You are too kind..." "I will serve you with my life!" "Off I go!" "then..." "You're heading out?" "My mother's greatest misfortune was that she never experienced the joy of combat." "You're no fun..." "Let me hold you." "I'll send you to heaven." "Moles." "holes?" "Bonolenov descended from a small tribe that industrialization had driven out of the Gyudondond. needles are used to puncture holes in their body. they can produce sound. they would play a battle song using their own bodies as instruments." "dancing warriors." "466)}Bapu Dancing Warriors" "They believe the more beautiful the stronger the spirit that descends. and hold more influence than the elders." "Transform this melody into strength to fight!" "211)}Battle Cantabile" "Battle Cantabile... 1)}Prologue" "Prologue! flows through my veins." "I swear on the names of the spirits and my tribe that you will not best me." "Was that attack supposed to hold your tribe's pride?" "If so..." "You must not feel much pride." "Don't bother recanting those words." "They are but a beast's ramblings." "They cannot affect me!" "my opponent's strength doesn't matter." "I'll win." "But I'm not certain I can pierce that..." "Those are sharp..." "I'll need to slip in between them and insert the antenna into the joint exposed when he moves the arm." "Chance of succeeding unscathed..." "Twenty percent!" "it worked..." "Ow." "Guess escaping unharmed wasn't possible." "Huh?" "Why didn't it work?" "I put the antenna in..." "You must be a Manipulator." "you relaxed." "That must be the condition for activating your power." "You let your guard down when you thought it worked." "Its name is Pell?" "You must also be a Manipulator. that means my target is already being manipulated by another Nen user." "and he has a remote controller." "you knew?" "first served for Manipulators." "my job is done." "No good..." "I can't break free." "Guess there's no choice." "I'd rather not have to use this..." "Your punch stings about as much as a mosquito bite." "What's next?" "You gonna kick me?" "Pull out a weapon?" "I'll grant you one more attack." "you know some big words." "Then I'll take you up on that..." "And go with a punch." "You're sure?" "Really?" "Fifteen should do it." "Fifteen?" "six... fourteen..." "Fifteen!" "Huh?" "right?" "W-Wait!" "180)}Karmic Loop my punch gets stronger." "Ripper Cyclotron!" "180)}Ripper Cyclotron" "half of that would have been enough." "I never seem to know how much power to use." "then..." "Which way to go?" "Right?" "Or left?" "I'll flip a coin." "What's going to happen to me?" "You'll become a slave." "You'll work for the Queen until you die." "Not too different from your current life." "in a sense." "I'd just be taking orders from a different person." "But I'd rather die than listen to someone I don't even like." "Strong words." "all you can move is your mouth." "I can move both hands and my left leg." "That's nice." "ready for me to take control?" "I can't let you die." "Once I put this in you..." "I always carry two antennae." "For just this kind of situation." "first served." "He stuck it in himself!" "Autopilot on." "S-So much aura..." "Enemy identified." "Eliminating now." "Pell!" "Aim for his leg!" "Remove the antenna!" "Mission complete." "Autopilot disengaging." "Powering off." "Ow..." "I already feel it..." "I'll be down with muscle aches for two or three days." "That's why I hate using this!" "but there's a hefty price. so I don't feel like I've accomplished anything." "You have considerable power for a lady." "Where was she hiding that vacuum cleaner?" "His thread is strong." "I won't be able to escape." "Where's the Queen?" "Rejoice." "She stands before you now." "That's a lame joke." "Huh?" "A joke?" "brat." "This warrants a hefty punishment." "They are but a beast's ramblings." "Then I'll take you up on that." "I always carry two antennae." "It sounds like Feitan found the Queen..." "How do I kill her first?" "What's this?" "A child?" "come over here." "I refuse." "Rejected..." "Then I'll come to you." "I'm in a hurry right now." "What's that?" "Confetti." "Wind!" "That didn't even tickle." "Surrounding me with more paper?" "You're wasting your time!" "Look." "What?" "You think that means something?" "You really are a stupid kid!" "Impossible..." "This rope is made of steel!" "My fan is made of paper." "1)}Meandering Dance" "Meandering Dance." "Look." "Your right arm is next." "An umbrella?" "Decent reaction." "A hidden blade?" "little boy?" "As do you. it's safe to assume they're hiding something." "What's wrong?" "Are you not going to continue your attack?" "That is the only way to stop my performance." "You'll pay for this!" "Pike... he can't make any sound!" "I'll rip you apart!" "Your escape is certainly fast..." "But not as fast as the speed of sound." "Battle Cantabile... 438)}Jupiter" "Jupiter!" "Crushed to death."
