026 (Vol 2) HxH: Tombbound Power
🕑 Added 2025-02-03 06:02:00 +0000 UTCWith the strength of Ronnel's mind and Nen surpassing even Ging's, it was clear that he was a true contender in this life-or-death battle.
The mission level "Razor and the 14 Devils" had reached a perfect conclusion.
The rarest designated pocket card in all of Greed Island, "Plot of Beach", was successfully acquired after Gon and Razor finished discussing the gold.
The cards were limited to a maximum of three. Gon claimed the main card, while Goreinu and Tsezguerra used Clone card to obtain the duplicates.
After their discussion, just as the three groups were about to part ways, they received a timely call from Genthru.
No words were needed. The trio of bomb demons, who were determined to clear the level by any means necessary, weren't about to let go of this ND.2 card.
This phone call could only be seen as a declaration of war.
Genthru and his team had worked tirelessly to clear the level and obtain the card, not just for the 50 billion Jenny held by Battera.
In truth, with Genthru's abilities, even professional Hunters like the Tsezguerra quartet feared them and wouldn't dare confront them head-on. They'd even thought of using Battera's bodyguards to surround them.
With such strength and the cunning to manipulate so many people, success seemed inevitable for them.
Moreover, if money was the true goal, Battera had already breached the contract after the death of his lover, offering 70% of the liquidated damages—350 billion Jenny.
Logically, Genthru and his team should have stopped right there. Even if they were angry, they'd aim their frustration at Battera rather than waste energy collecting more cards.
But it was clear that the 50 billion Jenny wasn't what they were after.
What they craved were the three designated cards from Greed Island that could be brought back to the real world.
Having spent so many years on the island, Genthru and his team didn't fully understand the cards' functions, but they had learned enough. These unique abilities piqued their interest. And, true to the island's name, their greed grew.
Greedy people always pay a heavy price for money—a stark reminder of humanity's darker side.
Once Genthru had collected 97 cards, his victory felt inevitable. He asked one of his yellow-haired companions what cards they'd choose after clearing the level.
At that moment, their desire for the designated cards was clear.
For Ronnel, the most obvious thing about Genthru was how useful his Nen was. His Little Flower was incredibly effective.
Countdown required the user to speak their Nen aloud before activating it.
Though its power was immense, the conditions were strict: the user had to touch their opponent's body, say the keyword "Bomber," and explain that their Nen was being activated. The bomb wouldn't explode immediately, instead starting a 6,000-second countdown that was influenced by the opponent's heartbeat.
Given the harsh conditions, it made sense that the bomb's power was so formidable.
But for Ronnel, this was too much of a hassle.
The Little Flower was far more convenient.
By covering his palm with a potent Nen, he could detonate it simply by touching his enemy. Though it wasn't as powerful as Countdown, it was still highly deadly.
The stronger the Nen in his palm, the more lethal the explosion. It wasn't the kind of move you'd expect from a Conjurer Nen user like Genthru—more like the raw techniques of an Enhancer Nen user.
Ronnel felt a flicker of interest in Genthru's ability, which reminded him of the bomb fruit from One Piece, so he stepped forward.
"Are you the bomber?"
Ronnel placed Tsezguerra's card collection book in front of him, and the latter wisely stepped aside.
"You've collected 97 cards now, right? Just two more to go?"
"Who are you?"
"I'm a member of Gon's team, and I have the "Plot of Beach" in our possession is authentic, while the one in Tsezguerra's hands is just a Clone."
"...What are you getting at?"
There was a brief pause, then Genthru's deep voice came through.
"Choose a time?"
Ronnel went straight to the point.
"Whether it's tomorrow, the day after, or even right now—how about a head-to-head confrontation, with our cards as the stakes?"
"A duel..."
Genthru muttered before sneering.
"Alright, since you're so bold, come on. We're in the jungle at the entrance of Masadora City right now."
"Even if you don't come, we'll find you when the sun rises. But if you want to face us, just betting cards isn't enough!"
Beep 693~~~
After delivering his challenge, the call ended abruptly.
Goreinu, Tsezguerra, and the others let out a collective sigh of relief.
Now that Ronnel was involved, facing Genthru and his team directly, they didn't feel there was any real danger.
Having seen Ronnel's strength, they were confident, but...
They couldn't help but feel a bit uncomfortable when they looked at Gon and Ronnel.
Genthru had collected 97 cards, and the last two were in Gon's and their hands.
In other words, this battle would determine everything. The winner would collect all the cards and clear the level.
This fact made Tsezguerra, his team, and Goreinu feel uneasy. The No. 2 card they had just gotten—still warm in their hands—had suddenly lost its value.
It felt like all their efforts in collecting cards had been in vain.
Ignoring the mixed emotions of Tsezguerra and the others, Ronnel summoned his card collection book, pulled out a spell card, and turned to Gon and the others.
"Follow me again in one minute."
"One minute?"
