Black Cat used a jumping strike on Saiki Kusuo Cat!
Saiki Kusuo pinned it down with one paw.
Fatty Jin used Mount Tai Pressure on Saiki Kusuo Cat!
Saiki Kusuo pinned it down with one paw.
Afei used a left, right, front, back hop and ambush on Saiki Kusuo Cat!
Saiki Kusuo pinned it down with one paw.
Mizu-chan used a chocolate ball on Saiki Kusuo Cat!
Saiki Kusuo ate it in one bite and pinned it down with one paw.
...
The battle was one-sided.
"Boss! We can't beat him, he, he's fine even after eating the chocolate ball!" Mizu-chan shouted.
Oh, so the chocolate ball was being used as "poison."
"Mizu-chan, you... you actually used that on a fellow cat!"
"Because Mizu-chan doesn't want boss to lose at all! That's what everyone thinks!"
Stop it, you're making it sound like I'm the big bad guy.
For a moment, the scene was very sad. The ordinary cats encouraged each other and stood up, wanting to oppose Saiki Kusuo.
Oh dear, oh dear.
Saiki Kusuo took a step forward, a fluffy white paw patting the black cat, restoring the black cat's body.
The black cat jumped up from the spot. After realizing that all its tiredness had been healed, it didn't think it was because of its own power.
What a smart cat. It was finally starting to examine its own pride.
In the premonition, these cats were actually doing well. They had Nen and liked to move around. Their unpredictable actions were a huge advantage over humans when committing crimes.
It's just a pity that they encountered the world's peak of power, Saiki Kusuo, right after they awakened Nen.
Shut down.
...
The Phantom Troupe's temporary base.
Chrollo and his group had already unraveled their respective prophecy poems, obtained clues, and determined the approximate location of the chain user.
Although the subsequent prophecy poems told them that half of them would leave one after another, Hisoka's prophecy poem also told them that Paku and Koupi had a chance to be alive, and that the Scarlet Eyes would come to trade with them.
There is a very limited power related to the Judgment Chain that can possibly impose constraints on people.
Hisoka will die if he leaves the base, and Franklin is also a definite dangerous person.
After various discussions, everyone looked at their leader, Chrollo.
"Paku and Koupi's abilities are rare. I'm afraid it will take a long time to find similar ability users to replace them. It would be our fault if something happened to both of them at the same time. Judging from the content of the prophecy poem, if we leave Yorknew City now, we don't know what will happen to the others, but Hisoka will definitely die. In other words, the spider will inevitably lose three legs, and two of them are especially important to the spider. In comparison, six legs are not so scary."
"Let's gamble. We still have a child as a bargaining chip. We should guide the main body to exchange hostages to save Paku and Koupi. At the same time, we will form a team to find and hunt down the chain user. The hunting team will need more decision-making, so I will lead it."
Chrollo's gaze swept over everyone. There were ten spiders in the room, including him.
"Phinks, Nobunaga, and Franklin, the three of you come with me." Considering the other party's strength, Chrollo chose to take away three major combat forces to ensure stability. It is safe enough to have six people in the base. "Your priority mission is to protect yourselves. The second is to ensure the hostage exchange goes smoothly. Shalnark, during my absence, make important decisions in a timely manner without contacting me for judgment. Report the trends in a timely manner."
The above.
Chrollo and the four quickly left the base and headed to Yorknew City. They first rushed to the ruins, which is where Saiki Kusuo was.
Saiki Kusuo seemed to sense something.
Saiki Kusuo was still in cat form. After all, transformation takes two hours. He heard the voices of Chrollo and others within a two hundred meter radius, so he said goodbye to the Nen cat group. With a jump, he lightly rose into the air in a straight line, jumping high towards the direction of the road.
He knew from their thoughts that the Troupe's first step was to get a car and drive into the city.
This is easy. He just needs to squat on the car and follow. No matter how wildly the Troupe drives, they can't shake off a psychic cat.
Saiki Kusuo took off lightly and landed lightly. He very lightly went through the roof that was about to land on.
"Bang!"
The sound made the Troupe team, who were rushing to leave, pause.
"Leader, I'll check the sound when you find the car!" Nobunaga understood Chrollo's suspicion and quickly said and went towards the sound. He was about to unfold his four-meter-radius En, to explore everything within range!
Saiki Kusuo subconsciously wanted to teleport to escape.
But turning Nen, he thought that he was a cat. Isn't this how it usually goes in typical plots? The villains find something strange, find it's a cat, then oh it's nothing, and they leave.
Saiki Kusuo gracefully jumped out of his hiding place, wanting to land and scurry along the wall like an ordinary cat.
No matter what, the Troupe, who are now eager to save people, will not deliberately stop a slightly strange stray cat.
Saiki Kusuo jumped out, his figure exposed in everyone's eyes, but before he could land, a knife face was rapidly attacking him, the cutting side of the blade, reflecting the light, facing straight at his waist!
It wanted to cut him in half!
So ruthless! Nobunaga Hatama!
[What? Just a cat! Sorry, you appeared in my En, the knife already moved before I could think to stop it!]
As a samurai, please control your sword! Won't you accidentally hurt your teammates during battle like that? No wonder you all go solo to your deaths!
Faced with the approaching knife, Saiki Kusuo used Nen to gain leverage in the air and jumped out of the four-meter range—just onto the wall.
Walking on the wall is a skill Saiki Kusuo learned when he was one year old.
A cat just stood on the wall defying the laws of physics.
Nen users stared at the cat doing things they couldn't do.
Wondering: What is this thing?
Oh dear, oh dear, this is bad.
I was only thinking about dodging the knife. When I came back to my senses, wasn't it already completely hopeless?
Whether dodging the knife or standing on the wall was no longer normal.
Chrollo's gaze fell on Saiki Kusuo's glasses. These special toy glasses looked familiar, and the small wrist guard with the ribbon around his right paw, although the ribbon had been changed to the same white color as his fur, was still obvious.
"Boss, this cat is unusual," Phinks guessed. "Is it someone's Nen beast ability?"
[Saiki Kusuo?] Chrollo used Gyo, silently using Nen.
Tch, I've been found out.
Saiki Kusuo's response was: [Oh dear, oh dear.]
That familiar catchphrase. Chrollo was surprised that Saiki Kusuo would appear here, but appearing at this moment, his purpose was clearly...
[You want to side with your little brother? Killua is very important to us now. If things go smoothly, we won't harm Killua at all.]
[I'm just passing by.] Saiki Kusuo didn't have any tasks anymore. He was really just taking care of his brother's safety to make sure Killua didn't die. He wouldn't try to snatch Killua.
[I don't believe you.] Chrollo's answer was very straightforward.
[Believe me.]
[It's difficult, and you're not good at lying.]
...
The hostage that Killua can be exchanged for is very important. Chrollo is now on high alert for this, no longer the indifferent attitude he had before.
So even though Saiki Kusuo has mind reading and other abilities, making him very difficult to deal with, Chrollo has to work hard for it.
The Bandit's Secret appeared in his hand. Saiki Kusuo already knew his resolve.
[Then I'll go with you.] Saiki Kusuo said.
"Huh?" Chrollo was surprised.
This choice meant that Saiki Kusuo really had no intention of snatching the Troupe's only hostage.
[But you have to ensure that the Troupe won't harm Killua, and protect Killua if conditions allow.]
"In order to successfully exchange hostages, Kikyo will ensure Killua's safety."
[Given your spider-like behavior, it's hard to guarantee that you won't kill everyone after the exchange is over.]
...
"That's true." Chrollo thought for a moment and admitted very honestly.
What do you mean "that's true," fix it for me.
"You come with us, and I'll have Shalnark pay attention to protecting Killua."
[Is his word alone enough?]
"Kikyo."
Chrollo, you seem to have a strange level of confidence in your team members' ability to work together after you're gone.
Actually, this is also a little bit of prejudice that Saiki Kusuo, who has read the manga, has against the Troupe.
After all, without Chrollo, the Troupe directly split into two sides and started arguing.
Only Chrollo's voice was heard during Chrollo's conversation with the cat. Everyone else was confused at the moment.
But they were still running out of time, so Chrollo didn't explain much. He turned around and said, "Find a car. Little cat, keep up."
Saiki Kusuo didn't want to run on the ground with a group of spiders walking and flying on walls.
He jumped off the wall, aiming for Chrollo's shoulder. Chrollo noticed out of the corner of his eye and slowed down his steps to wait for Saiki Kusuo to jump.
But when Saiki Kusuo's small, snow-white body landed between the white fur collar on Chrollo's shoulder, the moment the small cat paws actually landed on Chrollo's shoulder, Chrollo, who was walking forward, suddenly staggered and almost fell face first, as if he had been hit on the shoulder by Uvogin's heavy hammer!
Chrollo took a big step, barely stabilizing his body with a bow stance. His fingertips dropped, a motion to brace himself on the ground.
Luckily he stabilized himself, barely stabilized himself.
What a monster-like little cat, what weight, what power was that just now?!
Oh dear, oh dear, sorry, it was just a little bit of psychic cat's power out of control.
Saiki Kusuo carefully retracted his paws and parted Chrollo's fur collar. White fur and a white cat were just right.
"Leader, what's wrong?" Nobunaga asked in surprise from behind.
In the eyes of the other members, a cat had just "lightly" landed on Chrollo's shoulder. Chrollo's reaction was too exaggerated.
"...No, it's nothing." Chrollo smoothly stepped forward, twisted his ankle, just a little startled, no big deal.
"Hey—Leader! Got one!"
Phinks had already obtained the car key from a lucky passerby. He called out to Chrollo and the others to come quickly in front of that person.
[My car... My car that I haven't finished paying the mortgage for... qnq...] That person's inner thoughts.
Saiki Kusuo buried his head in his collar. It was none of his business. He was just a cat riding on a mount called "Chrollo."
The driver was Phinks, who had liked motorcycles since he was a child. Chrollo sat in the passenger seat.
Because there was a natural gap between the car seat back and the headrest, Saiki Kusuo didn't move at all, and Chrollo seemed to have forgotten his existence.
But the eyes of Nobunaga and Franklin in the back seat could hardly move away from the white cat in the fur coat.
Nobunaga and Franklin: Leader, you have a cat on you, Leader.
"We only know the chain user's appearance and the approximate location. It's still difficult to find him without attracting attention. Do you have any ideas?" Chrollo said.
Franklin said, "I plan to disguise myself and sneak into the building. My 'En Ballad - Transformation' can change my appearance according to different conditions."
Phinks stomped on the gas pedal, making the car speed quickly on the road, while still being able to join the conversation: "I plan to find a place to hide first, wait for Shalnark to send a message, and cooperate with the action. Making the negotiations go smoothly is the task of our entire Troupe, right, Leader."
Nobunaga said, "I don't have any ideas... Similar to Phinks, observe and wait."
"How to use it specifically, is up to the leader."
Trust.
They trust Chrollo very much.
But Leader, you have a cat on your neck, is that really okay? What is this cat, when did you get one? Did you just have a few words and become partners?
Chrollo pondered silently, oblivious.
The car sped along at 120mph. The constant violent bumps made it hard to doubt that the car would overturn in the next moment, and everyone was fully prepared to escape from the car as soon as an accident occurred!
Suddenly, the lights of vehicles appeared in front, blocking the road. Phinks tapped the brakes and the car suddenly drifted to the left. Everyone was pulled to the right by inertia. Everyone reached out to hold onto the car to stabilize themselves.
Chrollo first braced himself to the side with his right hand, then remembered that there was something on his shoulder and reached out to protect it.
What's wrong, afraid I'll crash out the window?
Saiki Kusuo lazily looked at the hand in front of him. The hand was blocked by his psychic power three centimeters away. Yes, in order to protect himself from being blown away, he surrounded himself with a shield.
Chrollo tried it and found that he had lost the right to touch his own neck and white fur collar.
Saiki Kusuo: That kind of thing doesn't matter.
Saiki Kusuo sensed from his thoughts that Chrollo cared a little more about the white fur collar.
He thought of something.
Did he need to explain? Saiki Kusuo is very clean. No matter what he did in cat form before, not a single bit of dust or mud successfully stayed on his paws.
Saiki Kusuo showed his cat paw to Chrollo, touching the ineffective protective hand from a distance. Chrollo's hand happened to be lowered at this point, so he saw his pink cat toe beans in the rearview mirror.
So don't worry about your fur collar getting dirty, Chrollo.
Chrollo used Gyo to look at the clean paw: [Pink.]
What's wrong with pink? Saiki Kusuo retracted his paw and put his hands between his coat. In this urgent situation, only he could be so calm and leisurely, being aloof of the danger.
Maybe Chrollo didn't really care if his collar was dirty or not. They came from Ryuuseigai, so it was almost impossible for them to have a cleanliness freak.
...
No matter how skilled Phinks was, hard braking and drifting still hit someone.
Blood splattered on the car. Everyone quickly abandoned the car. Phinks opened the door and supported himself by it, whistling when he saw the approaching vehicles.
Then he found that his hand was sticky. The blood that had splashed on the door made him immediately take out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe his hand.
Take back what I said about it being nearly impossible for them to be cleanliness freaks. Saiki Kusuo corrected himself.
