Hunter x Hunter: Card Master, the Strongest in the World.

On the other side, Capone and his men were engaged in a much larger battle.

Franklin's Nen bullets were dense and powerful, and to an ordinary Nen user, it was like an ordinary person facing real guns and bullets.

In the face of a truly powerful Nen user, many Nen users are no different from ordinary people and are defeated in one move.

Semi-transparent psychic bullets flew out, creating a barrage of firepower that landed on Capone and Hyakume.

The former had Armament Haki and was relatively unharmed, but the latter seemed to be struggling, since Hyakume was a Nen user with a support-oriented nature.

Despite both being B+ rank, Hyakume is not as good as Capone in terms of offensive power.

Franklin is suspected to be rated A-, which is still quite significant compared to the two B+ ratings, but he also has obvious weaknesses.

Franklin's dual machine guns are suitable for long-range attacks, but once he gets close, he will be forced to engage in melee combat, dragging him into the enemy's rhythm.

In the blink of an eye, Capone charged ahead of Franklin, countless psychic bullets striking the surface of his fortified body, leaving some obvious marks... He was not an indestructible iron plate either, and he could also be injured when facing Franklin, who was stronger than him.

But as long as you get close, there's room for output!

Capone grinned maliciously, raised his right hand high, his fist, the size of a sandbag, covered in Armament Haki, and slammed towards Franklin's face.

Capone's "Fortress Fruit" usually requires cooperation with his subordinates.

For example, the "Fortified City • Demolition" skill involves opening the fortress door at the torso, allowing the subordinates inside to fire at the outside.

For example, the "Fortified City • Tank" ability transforms your feet into tank tracks, allowing you to move across various terrains.

In the world of One Piece, guns and cannons have their uses. If a subordinate knows Armament Haki, they can also be effective against skilled opponents.

But this is the Hunter world, and guns and cannons are basically useless against strong Nen users, so he often uses Armament Haki to attack directly.

Franklin looked puzzled. This person... can't read?

He didn't see a single trace of Nen energy in Capone.

But how did he manage to block his own telekinetic projectile?

Was it because of that unusual skin? Franklin noticed that Capone's exposed skin resembled fortress bricks; perhaps he was a cyborg?

Could it be that by modifying himself and setting a constraint and oath that prevents him from using Nen, he could force himself into the state of "Absolute" and gain a powerful physique...? This was Franklin's initial assessment.

Franklin raised his hand reflexively, his arm, which was much thicker than a normal person's, was wrapped with powerful spiritual energy.

Don't assume that just because he's good at using psychic bullets, he's weak in close combat!

However, he overlooked the fact that he was facing more than one person.

Capone's side and rear, Hyakume's top suddenly shattered.

His upper body suddenly opened up a series of ferocious and terrifying eyes, a total of twenty-six eyes, staring at Franklin as he activated his Nen ability.

slow!

At the same time, Franklin suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Although the difference in speed is small, it is a very obvious weakness in intense battles and can cause considerable disruption.

"A manipulator-type Nen ability?" Franklin glanced at the Hyakume-ki behind him, whose multiple eyes were open, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Because he was a beat too slow, his right arm was a little too late and grazed Capone's fist, failing to block it precisely.

Peng!

A fist slammed into Franklin's cheek!

As the fist struck his face, a shockwave rippled outwards.

Franklin's body inevitably veered slightly toward the direction of the punch, but he quickly straightened himself and launched a swift attack despite the pain. He was now very clear about what he was going to do.

He just lacks his own opinions and has a peacemaker personality, but that doesn't mean he can't see the situation on the field.

Clearly, their previously formulated plan has changed.

Things didn't go as they expected at all; instead, they found themselves in a passive situation.

The situation on Xia Ke's side was also not good. He had to resolve the battle here as soon as possible and then rush to support Xia Ke... He didn't think he couldn't handle the two people in front of him.

The only thing lacking is time.

At close range, he fired wildly with both hands, and almost every shot hit Capone squarely!

Close range not only created opportunities for Capone to attack, but also made it easier for Franklin's shots to hit!

Boom! Boom!

Faced with Franklin's relentless bombardment, Capone's stamina was rapidly depleted.

For him, Armament Haki is equivalent to Nen for a Nen user; it can be used for both defense and offense, but it consumes his stamina.

The two then engaged in combat, and neither could gain the upper hand for a short time.

Although it was said to be two people, there were actually three. Hyakume used his Nen ability to the fullest extent from the rear to slow down Franklin and assist Capone, thus creating a balance.

The situation was different for the heroes; they were clearly at a disadvantage.

Peng!

Chopper threw a punch, which the swordsman barely dodged, but then Chopper's right foot lashed out like a steel whip, striking him hard in the abdomen.

The swordsman's expression was solemn as he forcefully took the blow.

Immediately, a surge of cold air rose beneath his feet, and he quickly retreated, but was still injured by the sudden ice blocks and thorn bushes. He barely managed to withdraw, but his spiritual energy was also greatly depleted.

This is very bad!

The swordsman frowned. He was no match for the man and the beast in a direct fight, but if it were just one of them, it wouldn't be a big problem.

It seems we'll have to use a backup plan.

To be honest, he didn't really want to use this ability. Once he did, he would suffer from back pain and exhaustion for several days.

But the situation was urgent, so he had no other choice.

Thinking of this, he quietly took out an antenna and was about to insert it into himself... His Nen ability, "Carrying the Fate of Others," can not only control others by inserting antennas into them, but also be inserted into himself to enter an automatic mode. His strength will increase dramatically, but he will not be able to control it until the mission is completed.

Swah——

Multiple ice arrows shot towards the antenna.

In haste, the swordsman had no choice but to stop, otherwise he and the antenna would have been hit by the ice arrow before it could be inserted.

He only has two antennas, so it would be bad if either one broke.

While dodging, the swordsman quickly calculated in his mind, and an unbelievable idea popped into his head... The other party seemed to know a lot about them?

Only a short time has passed since the sneak attack began.

However, the other side can quickly identify their weaknesses and allocate manpower accordingly.

For example, Franklin was stronger and better at ranged attacks, so he sent out his two strongest men, one for close combat and the other for ranged support.

If that's all there is to it, then it's nothing much; at most, it just shows a certain level of sensitivity.

But something was clearly wrong with his side of the battle.

He tried to take out the antenna and imitate a normal weapon attack, intending to insert it into the enemy and control them, but every time he took out the antenna, the enemy would quickly distance themselves, not giving him a chance.

Even when it tries to enter automatic mode, it will try its best to prevent it.

It's like... the other party knows about my Nen ability?
