VIP casino room

Hisoka is playing SQX (Square X) poker, a game that uses multiple decks of cards, and is pondering his own sexual preferences.

At Hinrigi's request, Hisoka is "playing in the VIP area of the casino for a while."

Hisoka considers himself to be quite normal and prefers one-on-one combat with humans. This is why he was not interested in the Chimera Ant battles, and he quickly lost interest in the aura rumble that occurred inside the Black & White ship (caused by the Halkenburg forces).

As Hisoka walks along, thinking about such things, a fake Hisoka watches him from behind a wall. The fake Hisoka is actually Bonolenov of the Phantom Troupe.

Bonolenov entrusts Chrollo with how to utilize his Metamorphosis ability, and the suggestion is to disguise himself as Hisoka and wait for contact from the mafia. Bonolenov, impressed that Chrollo's prediction was correct, transforms into another person.

Transforming into the Yin Beast Owl, Bonolenov recalls his interactions with Lynch and Zakuro. The person Lynch and the others thought was Hisoka was actually Bonolenov who had transformed into Hisoka, and he led Zakuro to the theater by repeatedly transforming from Hisoka to Zakuro to Lynch. When Lynch discovered his true identity, Bonolenov killed him, but it's unclear what will happen next.

Bonolenov isn't very good at thinking.

Bonolenov's recollections make it clear that the leader of the group, Chrollo, wants to kill Hisoka for sure, and that one of the reasons they boarded the ship was to find someone with the ability to do so, but that the other members of the group therefore want to kill Hisoka before Chrollo.

 

Great Hall

The news is on a big screen TV. It reports that 10 years have passed since the brutal murder of Mr. Lisnorth, the chairman of the children's support foundation "Children's Future (MamaHelp)," and that the case remains unsolved.

Chrollo is walking with a sword on his back, talking about this as an ordinary person.

ChrolloPhantom TroupeThe purpose of establishing the foundation was to avenge his comrades and make Meteor City a place to be feared. It seems that this foundation chairman was also caught by the Brigade as he was a good person on the surface but a bad person behind the scenes.

Char A Group Hideout

It seems Nobunaga has something he wants to confirm with Ou-Ken'i and Tahao.

Nobunaga isEi-I GroupHe suspects that Morena is outside the standards of behavior of the so-called "Kakin Mafia."

He doesn't care about the "balance" that the Kakin Mafia values, and continues to kill ordinary people who are the Mafia's customers. This suggests that he is using murder as a constraint to increase the power of his subordinates, and is trying to destroy everything in Kakin, including the Mafia.

Tahao understood Nobunaga's thoughts, agreed, and promised cooperation between the Char-A and Shu-U groups. He led them to a door at the back of the hideout.

Upon hearing the news, Ou-Ken-I is secretly worried about Morena. It seems that she has some kind of secret connection with Morena. From his monologue, he says that he may be forced to bring out the Joker, suggesting that Morena has a trump card.

Ei-I Group Hideout

Morena has a meeting with Dogman.

Dogman has concentrated on raising his level and is now at 62. His ability seems to be an enhanced sense of smell, allowing him to detect whether an opponent has acquired or not acquired a Nen ability, and what type it is.

When Dogman finds the target person, it seems to be the signal to begin the operation.

The target person is likely the "facility soldier of the Fourth Prince, Zellidnich," as Morena mentioned.

Dogman is working with Sodom to kidnap people of his choice. Sodom seems to be able to use his powers to kidnap people who have not yet acquired Nen abilities.

Ei-I Group Hideout Processing Plant

Previously, Quorol was no match for Hinrigi alone, but now Deverales and Demon have been killing civilians to level up, and it seems they've finally reached a satisfactory level. Quorol is now at level 51.

Padoy was killed in battle with Hinrigi, so it seems Demon joined in his place.

Char A Group Hideout, the corridor beyond the back door

Nobunaga, Phinks, and Feitan are guided by Tahao down a corridor at the back of the hideout.

Tahao opened the door at the end of the corridor and frowned as he looked beyond it.
