Becoming the Supreme Will starting from Hunter x Hunter

He really wanted to relax.

Of course, since we're here... it's perfectly normal to take a quick look at Gon and Mito.

"Mite seems to be two years older than me..."

The following day, on the ship bound for Whale Island.

Long stood on the deck, enjoying the sea breeze, wearing sunglasses, and smiled.

I felt a little excited.

His excitement had nothing to do with the characters in the story, but rather stemmed from his love for the full-time role-playing game... giving him the illusion of a fan visiting a popular online destination.

Whale Island is located in a relatively remote area, and it took a full day and night by boat to finally reach our destination.

"We've arrived at Whale Island."

The captain announced over the loudspeaker that the ship had stopped at the harbor, and the passengers began to disembark in an orderly manner.

Today the sun is shining brightly, the sea in front of the pier is a deep blue, and the air is filled with a faint salty smell... Many fishermen's small boats are moored on the shore, and not far away are the town's bungalows and streets, and you can also see the green mountains and forests of the island... The people here are dressed simply, there are no towering buildings, at most some small buildings and villas of varying heights.

Perhaps because of the filter, Oboro felt very comfortable and approachable upon seeing this scene.

“What a great place!”

As Long entered the town, he wandered around aimlessly and couldn't help but sigh.

"Boss, would you like a live fish? It was just caught this morning!"

"Look at the fruit, it's all very fresh..."

The vendors and shopkeepers on both sides of the road were all smiles, and one aunt even stuffed an apple into Long's hand... It was free!

There is no hustle and bustle of big cities here... only the warmth and liveliness of everyday life.

There were actually quite a few people... but they didn't seem that 'frivolous'.

"One's environment shapes one's character... But... Jin's awkward personality... tsk tsk... is really quite different from Xiao Jie's. Are they even related?"

It was clearly a small place, but he acted like a country bumpkin visiting a grand garden, looking around with a nonchalant air. Everything seemed strange to him, and he would sometimes let out a sigh or something similar... He kept chewing on an apple and couldn't help but tease him.

53. Mitt's Tavern

Whale Island is a small town, and I explored it in half a day, stopping here and there.

He stayed overnight in town, during which the hotel owner recommended many local specialties and gave him an overview of the island.

Although the climate and scenery here are nice... it's not a tourist hotspot, so... there are no trams or buses, you can only get around by motorcycle or on foot.

The owner was quite surprised that a tourist like Long could find Whale Island.

The main town is located at the foot of the mountain and has a port. Although it is not large, the basic public facilities are relatively complete. Most of the residents are engaged in portering and fishing, so there are many laborers. In addition, there are some boatmen and passengers who dock temporarily.

These factors form the basis of Whale Island's small economy.

From a distance at sea, Whale Island looks very small... but in reality, it would take a normal person at least two or three days to walk around the island.

Besides the main town, there are also some residential areas scattered around the island, with a fairly large population... The environment there is relatively cleaner and more rustic.

Early the next morning, Oboro set off alone into the heart of the island's mountains and forests.

The mountain is rich in topography and resources, mostly shrubs and towering trees, giving Long a feeling of returning to his past ascetic life in the wild... The air is fresher, and the forest is full of wild animals of all sizes, but naturally... there are also certain dangers.

As you climb higher, from some vantage points you can clearly see the distant coastline.

However, because of its coastal location, once you enter the core area, the surrounding area is almost entirely dense jungle and various water sources.

Overall, this is a pristine natural environment that has not been developed or damaged.

It was also Gin Freecss and Genius's natural 'training ground' since childhood.

Actually, there's nothing special about it... what's special is this father and son.

When he returned, he asked the owner for a map and prepared to go check out Mitt's tavern.

As soon as Mitt was mentioned, the boss immediately pointed out the direction, telling him to walk along a river on the island. However, the journey was quite long from that point, and it would take an average person at least half a day to complete.

Whale Island is a small island, and Mitt's pub is highly praised by locals. Many laborers go there for a drink after get off work or when they have nothing to do.

Besides that, there's the 'famous' Golden Freecss... Back then, Golden Freecss caught a giant kingfish, the king of the swamp, causing quite a stir. Even now, it's still occasionally mentioned and talked about with great interest.

Therefore, everyone on the island knows this family.

By the time Oboro found Mito's tavern, it was already dark.

The houses here are relatively scattered, not clustered together... more like a village. There might be a house every hundred meters, scattered here and there, some built on hillsides, some on flat ground, with few people... small and quiet.

It's dinnertime now, and smoke is already rising from the chimneys of some houses and courtyards.

The aroma of food wafts out…

As for Xiao Jie's house, it's too conspicuous. The building is intertwined with a big tree, standing at its roots, making it very eye-catching.

Long recognized him at a glance.

However, his timing was quite opportune, as he happened to witness an interesting scene.

Xiao Jie, who should only be six years old this year, was dressed in disheveled clothes.

Somewhat dirty, with leaves still clinging to it, it stood at the doorway, bowing deeply to the orange-haired Mitt in apology, saying sorry.

"Xiao Jie, I've told you so many times, you have to be back before dark..."

"Aunt Mitt..."

Xiao Jie looked a little embarrassed.

"It won't happen again."

Mitt didn't act too harshly. After all, it's normal for kids this age to be a little mischievous. Besides, Grandma had said that for Xiao Jie, who hadn't had his parents around since he was little, the forest was like his 'father,' so she shouldn't worry too much.

But how could Mitt not overthink it... Gon looks too much like Ging!

As Ging's cousin who grew up with him, Mito didn't want Gon to follow the same path as Ging, but as Gon grew older, the qualities he displayed became more and more similar to that man.

"Excuse me... are you still open?"

Just then, the sound of footsteps broke the atmosphere between Mito and Gon.

Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw a stranger wearing a white shirt, with one hand holding a suit jacket over his shoulder and a smile on his face.

Mitt paused for a moment, then nodded. "Welcome."

Xiao Jie, standing to the side, also looked at Long, recognizing him as an outsider…

The person in front of them exuded the air of a 'big city,' unlike someone from a small place like theirs.

Then, Mitt opened the door himself.

Xiao Jie also nodded politely to Long…

As Long passed by Xiao Jie, she reached out and ruffled his hair...

Xiao Jie's hair is a bit prickly and stiff...

The lights were on inside, and the decor was casual. Several regular customers were chatting. When they saw Xiao Jie enter, they smiled knowingly and teased, "Xiao Jie... you're back late again!"

"Your Aunt Mitt is very worried about you..."

Faced with the elders' teasing, Xiao Jie scratched his head, smiled slightly awkwardly, then glanced at Long sitting at the bar before running to wash his hands and get ready to eat.

The man had just patted Xiao Jie's head, leaving him with a somewhat complicated feeling...

For some reason, he felt that this guest was a little different... especially... the 'scent' emanating from him.

"Would you like something to eat? Or something to drink?"

Behind the long table at the bar, there were two people. One of them was sitting in a chair; she was Xiao Jie's great-grandmother, who was also Jin and Mitt's grandmother.

The other one is the proprietress, Mitsu, she asked Oboro.

"Brother...I recommend you..."

Several local regulars nearby enthusiastically introduced Mite's cooking skills to Long.

"I am a bit hungry, so let's get some of their recommendations... As for drinks, anything goes." Long took off his sunglasses and looked around the interior of the tavern. Besides drinking and eating, it seemed they also sold some miscellaneous goods... Their business scope was quite extensive.

This is the business area on the first floor; the second floor is mostly private residences.

"If you're eating alone, one serving is enough; it's a very large portion..."

Mitt kindly reminded him.

Long doesn't look like an ordinary person doing manual labor. Compared to them, he's dressed rather 'refined,' and his suit looks very expensive.

"fine."

Long smiled softly.

Mitt didn't say anything, but first poured him a glass of wine, and then went to the kitchen to start preparing.

Oboro chatted with several guests, and was repeatedly asked why they had come to Whale Island, especially so late at night...

Oboro also told the truth, saying that he came for tourism, and everyone looked surprised...

Long joked that he was dressed too formally and seemed out of place... It seemed like wherever he went, people could tell he was an outsider. The other person told him not to worry about it, because in their small town, there weren't many tourists... and everyone knew each other well.

I am grateful that Oboro likes Whale Island.

Long mingled with several residents, but out of the corner of her eye, she kept glancing at Xiao Jie, who was sitting in the corner.

The boy was carrying a plate and eating by himself... without disturbing the guests, he was very considerate.

Xiao Jie kept glancing at him, but when Long's gaze swept over him, he immediately lowered his head, afraid that Long would find it impolite...

"Very perceptive..."

A smile curved the corners of Long's lips.

He discovered that Xiao Jie could always instinctively avoid eye contact with him... This is something that not every child can do.

They are different...
