Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

But things are different now!

'Master, I haven't abandoned Buddha; Buddha is behind me!'

What filled his heart was a volcanic eruption, raging and completely unstoppable...

anger!

"it is good!!!"

Nobunaga's eyes blazed with fury, and he roared like a lion as he leaped out of the well.

He suddenly bent his knees, turned sideways, and gripped the knife hilt, performing the same action he'd done countless times in 0.1 seconds—

【Draw Sword and Slash】

With this sword strike, Nobunaga compressed his own life, compressed everything he had!

He poured all his energy and all his mental power into this sword strike!

This sword strike represents his 20 years of skill, the bond and dreams he shares with his companions, and the roar of millions of homeless people in Meteor City for their dignity!

This is a sword strike of ultimate refinement; there is no doubt that it can cut through everything.

next moment--

boom!

Nobunaga's entire body was like a spring that had been compressed to its limit, suddenly released. In the next instant, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and flew out, the concrete ground beneath his feet exploding with a bang!

Like a swift beast tearing through the air, the sword tip, moving with incredible speed, leaped across space in the blink of an eye and landed on the air beside Dia...

Wait, in the air?

A sword strike of ultimate skill, a sword strike bound by destiny, a sword strike spanning twenty years—all in vain!

pat.

Nobunaga heard a strange sound.

It was like a tattered sack that had fallen to the ground.

He paid no attention to any of that; he just kept craning his neck, trying to get a clear look at his sword.

How could it have failed?

The next moment, Nobunaga felt a blur before his eyes as a large hand grabbed his hair and shifted his gaze to the side.

A familiar headless corpse lay there in a sorry state.

Dia calmly held Nobunaga's head, shook it, and said:

"If you are unwilling to commit suicide, then I can only send you on your way."

Oh, so he was beheaded.

A sudden realization dawned on Nobunaga, but then his vision was swallowed by endless darkness.

Spider, lose another leg!

From the moment Nobunaga peeked out and saw Dia until now, a total of 2.5 seconds have passed.

Within these 2.5 seconds,

Franklin, who was under the manhole cover, witnessed Nobunaga pry open the manhole cover and, almost without hesitation, shouted "Good!" and jumped on it, and then there was no more movement.

An ominous premonition arose spontaneously.

Nobunaga! Are you outside?

Franklin shouted at the well opening.

There was no response. Then, a familiar head suddenly circled around the well opening before quickly retreating back in.

Nobunaga's head

He was lifted up and swayed around at the well opening.

Just like when fishing for lobsters, experienced anglers will jiggle the fishing rod back and forth, making the dangling frog carcass appear as if it's still alive in the water, which can attract lobsters to bite the line...

Franklin was undoubtedly the "lobster" who was attracted!

Click...

It sounded like a machine gun being cocked, all in succession.

Franklin's eyes were bloodshot, and veins bulged on his face. Without hesitation, he raised his hands, and the tips of his ten fingers suddenly popped out, revealing ten dark gun muzzles!

He is a master of the "emission type" who specializes in recitation.

His Nen ability is called "Dual Machine Gun," which allows him to transform the ten fingers of both hands into gun barrels from which he fires Nen bullets to attack enemies.

Actually, he could fire Nen bullets without deliberately cutting off his fingers, but Franklin felt that doing so might make the Nen bullets stronger, so he actually cut off his fingers.

After that, the destructive power of the Nen Bullet did indeed increase significantly due to the effect of the Oath and Restriction!

His projectiles were not only numerous but also powerful enough to pierce through steel!

Franklin was unaware of what was happening outside, nor did he know what kind of person could behead Nobunaga in such a short time.

All he knew was that his brother was dead!

He died right in front of himself!

The next moment, a dense barrage of chanting bullets roared out like a long dragon, flashing with light and bursting forth, transforming into streams of light!

boom--

In an instant, dust and smoke flew everywhere.

The solid concrete wall was instantly shattered by the powerful psychic bullet, revealing a huge hole!

"Don't run!"

Franklin roared, bent his knees slightly, and a massive burst of Nen energy exploded beneath his feet, propelling his enormous body upwards like a rocket!

Swish!

A giant shadow flashed out of the well and landed on the ground with a thud.

Franklin's sharp eyes spotted the tall, straight figure with his arms crossed at a glance.

'That hunter named Dia…'

The moment Franklin saw him, he understood everything.

He wasn't involved in the incident in Pati City, so he never met Dia in person, but Kuroro showed Dia's photo to everyone.

And so everything fell into place.

'Let's settle both old and new scores at once!'

Franklin raised his hands without hesitation.

Bang bang bang—bang bang bang—

A barrage of psychic bullets rained down on Dia, each bullet carrying Franklin's blood, tears, pain, and hatred!

'Cooldown timer: 6 seconds...'

Diya moved across the field like a ghost, golden lightning and light constantly bursting out from beneath her feet, while she calmly calculated the cooldown time.

As he dodged, only a few of the countless projectiles managed to graz him, but they were completely blocked by the thick [Solid] armor, only tearing a little bit of his clothes.

Thanks to the [repulsion] effect that creates ripples on the soles of his feet, his speed was not slow at all, even while carrying a second prince on his back.

Moreover, in terms of strength and speed, as a [Ripple User], he far surpasses other Nen users of the same level, easily surpassing others' decades of arduous training.

'Unfortunately, he still made it up.'

Dia looked at Franklin, who was frantically unleashing psychic bullets at him, and felt a pang of regret.

He didn't actually want to kill Franklin, because if he spared his life, Kuroro would have more time to deal with Naspi in the future.

He might be able to stay hidden for a while longer under Kuroro's "cover".

However, Dia was unaware that his swift killing of Nobunaga might alert Franklin, who was standing nearby.

Just in case, let's get rid of Franklin.

Anyway, as long as Chrollo is there, the Phantom Troupe is enough...

'What is he waiting for...'

Although Franklin appeared rugged, he was actually extremely meticulous.

Although Dia was frantically swimming around in front of him, he was not in a hurry at all. Instead, he became even more calm and looked for an opportunity.

He knew that Dia wouldn't run away.

Otherwise, if the opponent rushes into the invisible wall at that speed, Franklin won't be able to catch them at all.

The opponent is using his speed to stall him here; he must be waiting for something.

Considering that the other party killed Nobunaga in a single encounter, Franklin had a vague guess in his mind:

'He possesses a certain one-hit-kill ability, but it has a cooldown period, or he cannot use it multiple times in a short period.'

If it's the former, Franklin can't predict how long the cooldown will be, but there's always a chance.

But if it's the latter, then it's very dangerous.

'If it's the latter, then the fact that he didn't run away means he won't use it only once, but he's not in a hurry to use it, so what is he waiting for?'

The only person Franklin could think of was Commander Kuroro!

'He possesses a finishing move that can only be used twice in a short period, and knowing that Kuroro will also arrive, he intends to wipe us all out!'

Chapter 407 Franklin's Lucky Idea × Deceiving Kuroro

'His goal is to wipe them all out?'

Franklin had a bad feeling, and a sense of urgency welled up inside him.

The hunter named Dia before them was faster than any of the strongest they had ever encountered.
