Hunter x Hunter: Kurama joins the Phantom Troupe

On August 31st, Ace quit his bodyguard job and headed to the gathering place of the Phantom Troupe.

In order to avoid getting into trouble due to his poor sense of direction, Ace set out early in the morning, but it was already noon when he found the place.

……

By the time Ace arrived, there were already three people in the building.

There was a man sitting in the shadow of the building. He was wearing a mink coat with an inverted cross symbol on his back. He was holding an ancient book in his hands and reading by the faint light of a candle next to him.

Captain Kurolo Silu...

There were two others leaning against the wall with their eyes closed.

One is a Fink in sportswear, and the other is a knight in purple.

The two heard footsteps approaching and suddenly opened their eyes and looked towards the entrance.

"Captain, I am going to the right place, right?" (Ace)

The person who walked in was Ace, who had taken off his disguise.

Finks asked in some shock:

"Ace, is that you..." (Fenx)

In the knight's amber eyes... there seemed to be some tears flashing, but they disappeared in an instant...

"Long time no see..." (Knight)

"It's been about fifteen years..." (Ace)

At this time, there was another sound of footsteps.

Several people looked in the direction of the voice and saw it was Paknoda.

"Paknoda, how have you been lately?" (Knight)

"Long time no see, knight." (Paknoda)

"I said, couldn't you come earlier?" (Finks)

"I should be punctual." (Paknoda)

"Isn't it common sense to arrive ten minutes before the meeting time?" (Finks)

"You two too." (Funks)

"Flake Lev, Kubi, you two are here together." (Knight)

A short figure covered in bandages and with waist-length hair also walked in, followed by the tall and strong Wo Jin.

"You guys, long time no see. I'm here, Captain. What's the prey this time? Give me your orders quickly." (Wo Jin)

"Don't be so anxious, Wo Jin, Feitan and the others won't arrive until tonight, let's talk about it after everyone arrives." (Xia Ke)

"He's still so anxious." (Pecknoda)

"Damn it, I have to wait another half day, isn't this Xiaodi?" (Wo Jin)

A cute girl walked in.

"Hello." (Xiao Di)

"By the way, will there be two new members this time?" (Paknoda)

"I heard from Machi that there will be personnel changes, but it's not clear yet. I'll ask Machi when the time comes." (Knight)

Maybe no one noticed... Ever since Ace arrived, the knight's eyes have been looking at her vaguely...

……

On the side of a road in the wilderness.

Several people are walking towards the ruins.

The leader was none other than Machi.

"How long has it been since the thirteen of us in the brigade gathered together like this? Feitan." (Nobunaga)

"Three years and two months. Having said that, compared to last time, No. 4 and No. 8 have been replaced this time." (Feitan)

"Machi, are you saying that the guy who might defeat Hisoka is Ace? Is she still alive? Will that Hisoka come again?" (Franklin)

"Who knows, maybe they have already agreed to have a fight to the death." (Maggie)

"I don't like Hisoka very much. Why does the captain always let him do whatever he wants? It would be great if he could be replaced." (Feitan)

"Because he's quite skilled, his flexible love move is really powerful, so it should be very difficult to fight him in reality." (Nobunaga)

"According to what you said, the captain is afraid of Hisoka? I won't let you off." (Feitan)

"That's not what I meant." (Nobunaga)

"You all think too highly of him. He is a very worthless man." (Franklin)

"If you just talk about it, who wouldn't try it?" (Nobunaga)

As they were walking, Franklin suddenly elbowed them. Nobunaga blocked it with his scabbard, and the huge force even produced a sonic boom.

"Nobunaga, if I don't speak, you will think I am a sick cat, right?" (Franklin)

"But you clearly spoke just now, Franklin." (Nobunaga)

(Soul torture)

"It starts again..." (Maggie)

"Don't worry about them, they're just playing around after not seeing each other for a while." (Feitan)

(You tell me this is called fighting?)

"By the way, what is the purpose of the captain gathering us together?" (Maggie)

"We are thieves, so of course we are going to steal things." (Feitan)

"That's not wrong." (Maggie)

With that, Machi and Feitan continued on their way, leaving Nobunaga and Franklin alone to "play around".

……

As the sky gradually darkened, those who had already arrived in the brigade sat on the rocks in the building.

"Not coming yet." (Finks)

"It's almost dawn." (Feitan)

"This guy Hisoka, next time I see him I will tear him into pieces." (Wo Jin)

The figure sitting in the dark closed the book with a snap, and the candle went out.

A voice came from the entrance.

"Are you talking about something scary? It's really scary." (Hisoka)

"Hisoka, you bastard." (Wojin)

"You are really late." (Knight)

"Really? I thought you weren't coming back." (Maggie)

"After all, you personally asked me to come over, didn't you? If I hadn't come, I'd probably never see your telepathic suture again." (Hisoka)

"Tsk..." (Maggie)

"Captain, everyone is here." (Knight)

The figure in the darkness stood up and walked into the light, revealing his handsome face. It was the captain, Kuroro.

Wo Jin asked excitedly:

"Captain, what are we going to steal this time?"

(Your stealing means killing people and taking their things, right?)

"This time, our mission is to steal treasures from an underground auction." (Chrollo)

"What kind of treasure is this!" (Knight)

"It should be an ancient book. The captain likes reading." (Maggie)

"No way, it must be a game. There will be several sets of the most expensive game in the world participating in the auction this time." (Feitan)

"Anyway, I think... the most basic option is gold, silver and treasures." (Nobunaga)

"Yes, everything. We are going to take all the treasures at the auction." (Chrollo)

Everyone on the field looked at Kuroro in shock.

"Are you serious, Captain? The underground auction is jointly managed by gangs all over the world. If we act rashly, it would be tantamount to openly becoming an enemy of gang forces all over the world!" (Wo Jin)

Chrollo smiled softly.

"Are you scared, Wojin?" (Chrollo)

"I am so happy, I can't bear it. Commander, strike while the iron is hot. Give me the order now!" (Wo Jin)

"I allow you to... kill them all, leaving no one behind." (Chrollo)

"Of course, our opponents are gangsters from all over the world, so we can't be defenseless. I believe everyone has heard that there is a newcomer who may be able to defeat Hisoka. That person is our old friend Ace." (Chrollo)

"Captain, is this true? Is he really Ace? Wasn't she kidnapped more than ten years ago? She is still alive!" (Wo Jin)

"Seeing is believing (′-w-`)" (Ace)

"Nion, the eldest daughter of the Nosra family, has the ability to predict the future. Recently, many gang leaders have asked her for divination, including many cadres who are going to participate in the underground auction. They may have noticed and moved the auction items. This means that we may get nothing next, but I don't mind the fried fish." (Ace)

"The ace Yin Beast of the ten gangsters is basically no threat to us. If we fight seriously, any one of us can wipe out the Yin Beast, but there are two people who need to be careful." (Ace)

"They are Xiao and Sick Dog. Xiao has similar abilities to Xiao Di, so he will probably move the auction items. Sick Dog's teeth can easily penetrate the defense of Nen, and there is a toxin on its teeth that can instantly paralyze a person. I was poisoned by it before, and I could only check it for two minutes." (Ace)

"Captain, I have said everything I want to say." (Ace)

"Okay, this attack on the auction is not just to steal treasures, the ultimate goal is to lure out the Yin Beast, especially the owl. Before tomorrow's mission begins, everyone can act freely." (Kuroro)

[I personally feel it is necessary to introduce the Phantom Troupe]

The Phantom Troupe is a thieves organization in the Hunter x Hunter worldview. It has a total of thirteen members, consisting of a leader and twelve members.

Initially, there were nine members, namely, Captain Chrollo, No. 0, Nobunaga, No. 1, Feitan, No. 2, Machi, No. 3, Finks, No. 5, Shikaku, No. 6, Franklin, No. 7, Paknoda, and No. 9, Ugin. Later, members No. 11, Shadow, No. 4, Unknown member, No. 8, Peeling Lev, and No. 10, Kubi, were added. In the plot, No. 12 Shadow was defeated two or three years ago, No. 4 became Hisoka, and No. 4, Unknown member was killed by Silva, and Xiaodi replaced No. 8. After Hisoka left the group, Kurt replaced No. 4. After Ugin died, Illumi joined the group and became No. 11.

Each member will have a signature twelve-legged spider tattoo with their own brigade number on it.

The main activities are robbery and murder, with occasional charity.

Occasionally, there will be a replacement. If you defeat the current member, you can take over. If a member of the brigade dies, the captain Kuroro will personally select a new member.

[I didn’t expect that I could turn on the hotspot and update it]
