Hunter x Hunter: The Zoldyck Family's Legendary Item Master

"Wonderful!" The sounds of slapping echoed.

Aokiji clapped his hands, watching the young man calmly withdraw his hand with his back to the blazing sun, and only four words remained in his heart—"The younger generation is truly formidable!"

"Heh~ Not bad, Mr. Kuzan?" Waving away the remaining bit of storm, Sean leaned against the ship's railing, his back to the waves stirred up by the "Nianlong"—

Aokiji's lips twitched, he clenched his fist, put it to his lips, and whistled: "It'll do."

"As for surpassing," Aokiji glanced sideways at Sean, "Ara ara~ We can talk about that after you've mastered Devil Fruit Awakening."

"is it?"

Sean curled his lip dismissively. Someone was being stubborn.

He's just as shameless as some old man. Is this a common trait of the strong?

"Pah~ What common problem? This old man has never been inferior to anyone in his life!" Maha, a Zoldyck, was rocking in his rocking chair when he suddenly sneezed. He glanced at the sky outside the window and sighed inwardly.

"That brat is definitely talking about me behind my back again."

"Sigh~ I have to say, these past few days without him have been really boring."

"How many days has it been since he left?"

People become forgetful as they get older.

A few crows cawed outside the window, and despite the moon being high in the sky, Maha couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

Sitting up, I saw the words "No Publication This Week" in large print on the latest issue of "Pirate King" published by Bones Publishing, and felt a wave of frustration.

"Why are you giving up drawing comics to participate in some stupid hunter test? You're neglecting your duties!"

"Ahem~ I can't pretend I didn't hear that~" The door opened, and a head of white hair swayed as Zeno walked in with a cell phone in his hand.

The sound was coming from the phone.

"Ahem~ Grandpa, Netero." The dog carefully handed over the phone.

"I'm not answering." Maha glared at him and slapped him hard across the face. "You bastard, is the Zoldyck family no good or what? You're answering all sorts of calls now."

Zeno's eye twitched violently. He had been scolded by the old man quite a bit these past few days. He didn't know if the old man had applied some kind of magic oil recently, as he seemed to have inexhaustible energy and would always give him a good scolding whenever he caught him.

At first, Zeno thought the old man was just looking at him with displeasure, like before, but after observing him for several days, Zeno gradually realized what was going on—

It has nothing to do with him. It's just that the old man is depressed because that brat Sean isn't around!

Damn it, Netero, so my grandson isn't a grandson, Sean's grandson is the real grandson?

Does it have to be so hypocritical?

"Oh ho ho ho~ It's only been a few years? The old man's temper is still as bad as ever." Netero was mocked by Maha to his face, but he was not angry at all. Instead, he said with a smile, "There aren't many old guys left now. If you have the chance, old man, why don't you meet up with us?"

Meeting up? Would you even play some ridiculous game like stealing a ball with me if we met?

Maha snorted coldly, "Kid, just spit it out. There's no need to play the emotional card."

"We Zoldycks are killers, we have no feelings."

“How scary~” Netero scratched his head: “Actually, it’s nothing, I’m just a little nervous.”

"I heard that your family sent three boys to the Hunter Exam this time, which really surprised my useless subordinates."

"That's why I was sent to inquire."

“The kids are all grown up, they can go wherever they want, it’s none of my business.” Maha yawned: “You’re not a kid anymore, you should delegate authority. You’ve been the chairman for decades, be careful you don’t die before me.”

Isn't it normal to die before you? You old codger, did you eat "longevity rice"?

Netero ignored Maha's comment and smiled meaningfully, saying, "The ten-year period is almost up, old man~ How about I help you find out Sean's background in advance?"

"You're worried that no one can handle him, aren't you?" Maha sneered disdainfully. "Your Hunter Association's small fry isn't even enough to take down my grandson, let alone..."

"Even if Netero himself went up there, he might not get away with anything from that brat Sean."

"Hehehe," Netero laughed loudly, "Just kidding. I was just kidding."

"If we really have to go for it, it'll depend on you, old man. So, are you confident?"

"Confident? I will not lose!" Did he really think Maha, with his 300-year-old rice, was a fool? Maha narrowed his eyes: "I'm telling you right now, if Sean dares to even think about going to the Dark Continent, I'll break his legs!"

"Whoosh~" With a flick of his finger, a Nen bullet pierced the phone. Zeno felt his hand go empty. Ugh~ He'd been targeted again.

He twitched his lips speechlessly, glanced at Maha, and said, "Grandpa, I don't think Netero would call unless there's something wrong."

"Since he notified you, he'll probably actually do it himself."

"Hey~ the bastard's finally using his brain for once." Maha kicked Zeno away: "Since you know that, why don't you go book the tickets!"

"You really need me to remind you, don't you?"

"What the hell did I do to deserve this?!" Zeno transformed into a shooting star and disappeared into the sky, vanishing into the sunset in an instant.

at the same time--

On the sea leading to Dolly Island, the "Poseidon" test ship sailed smoothly without any more turbulence.

The storm subsided, and Aokiji yawned, glancing at Sean before saying, "Sleepy, going to sleep."

With one step, the person vanished into Sean's consciousness space in the next second.

"Take care, don't bother seeing me off." The sea breeze softened considerably, ruffling the young man's bangs and causing them to sway gently. Sean's lips curved into a faint smile as he watched Aokiji depart.

The quiet deck was soon filled with a renewed sense of activity.

As the storm subsided, the candidates who had participated in the "Hunter Test" gradually emerged.

Because of Sean's previous imposing presence, no one, including his comic book fans, dared to approach him immediately, except for a certain innocent, spiky-haired little kid who looked like a blank sheet of paper.

"Uncle, you're so cool!" Xiao Jie excitedly rushed up to Sean, then suddenly stopped, his head almost hitting Sean's stomach.

He looked up at Sean and exclaimed in surprise, "Hey? You seem to have grown taller again, Uncle?"

Sean glanced at him expressionlessly. Sure enough, Fuli Shi had a keen sense of smell. His gaze flew straight over Sean's head and settled on the blond boy walking towards him.

"Can we talk in private?" Kurapika was the second person to muster the courage to approach Sean.

The blond boy's pupils reflected Sean's imposing figure, which seemed to have grown even taller, and his eyes were clearly filled with trepidation and nervousness.

“Sorry, no.” Sean refused outright.

"why?"

"Because I don't have the time." Sean didn't even glance at Kurapika, turned around, sat cross-legged, and continued to hone his Water ability.

Kurapika, having been rebuffed, quietly clenched his fist: "Don't you want to know what I have to say?"

"Do not want to."

Kurapika: "."

He opened his mouth as if to say something more, but a large hand suddenly landed on his shoulder.

"Alright, forced love won't be sweet." The red-nosed captain pushed open the cabin door and stepped out, past Kurapika, bowing to Sean and saying, "Thank you for saving the Poseidon."

"I hereby declare that you are qualified to land on Dolly Island."

"No need to answer questions?" Sean lifted his hook, and another flying fish took the bait. With his back to the red-nosed captain, he said casually, "Aren't you going to ask me why I became a hunter?"

"Uh..." Captain Red Nose was slightly taken aback, not expecting Sean to have hit the nail on the head regarding the exam content. He gave a wry smile and said, "What difference does it make whether I ask or not?"

"With your strength, if you want to land on the island, I can't stop you even if I wanted to."

“That’s true.” Sean turned to look at the red-nosed captain. “But… I think you should still ask him, otherwise I’ll report you to the Hunter Association for cheating, favoring the examinee, and violating the principles of fairness, impartiality, and openness in the competition!”

? ? ? !! Captain Red Nose, Gon, and Kurapika: "."

Someone's already advanced and they're still reporting it? Seriously? Are they seriously ill?

Captain Red Nose's face darkened. He felt like the farmer who saved a snake only to be bitten by it, a complete victim of injustice!

Speechless, he asked Sean, "Then why did you become a hunter?"

Sean replied in a flash: "You'll have to ask Netero about that; he insisted that I come."

Netero? "Who's that?" A question mark appeared on Jack's forehead, but no one answered him. Hearing Sean's answer...

The entire ship of test takers, including Captain Red-Nosed, Kurapika, and Leorio, were dumbfounded!

After a long pause, a gasp of surprise came from the crowd—

"My teacher in this case is amazing!"

"No wonder he's the man who could draw 'Ninja Storm 4' and 'One Piece'!"

"I've lived for over thirty years and participated in the Hunter Exam more than ten times, and this is the first time I've ever seen someone personally beg me to take the exam!"

"Yes, that's amazing! Teacher, could you explain in detail how the person who can't grow up begged you?"

"I really want to know!"

One, two, three Sean fans were incredibly excited, even more so than Sean himself, and surrounded him again. The scene seemed familiar, making Kurapika feel quite uncomfortable.

"So, that's what we call a gap."

The red-nosed captain noticed Kurapika's unusual behavior and patted the blond boy on the shoulder, saying, "Don't blame others for not communicating with you; it's just that you're not strong enough to communicate with others on an equal footing right now."

As for who this "other person" is? Kurapika knows perfectly well, without the Red-Nosed Captain needing to point it out.

The blond boy silently watched Sean being surrounded by a crowd of fans once again, then took a deep breath and said, "I understand, but..."

"I still want to give it a try."

"Because I have reasons to try!"

That night, the bloodshed, screams, and pleas for help of his people were still vivid in his mind, and Kurapika would never forget it for a single day!

He found a time when Sean was fishing alone, and reluctantly approached him again.

"Teacher, I need strength." The boy leaned against the ship's railing, gazing at the sea.

"Name your price, whatever you want. Even my life, I'll take it! Just teach me!"
