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

“All fish are the same, they'll bite if they want to.” Sean chuckled, casting his line again as the “wise man” alert echoed in his mind.

Capture the ripples, listen to the heart of water, feel the rhythmic nature of water—water is being explored.

The "Aokiji" template for Admiral Aokiji is now unlocked.

Current unlock progress: 60%.

We still have a few days before arriving at Dori Island, so we can't waste any time.

Two days later,

"Caw~ caw." Seagulls circled overhead, occasionally letting out a cry.

As Captain Red-Nosed said, the voyage to Dolly Island was not smooth sailing; when the waves came, the ship would often be tossed up and down and rock from side to side.

Some people, either seasick or sick, could not endure the ordeal and were crammed into the cabins, and the situation worsened over time.

In the end, only Sean, Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio remained standing on the deck.

"Looks like this year might be a bumper harvest." Captain Red Nose looked out through the porthole of the captain's cabin, his gaze lingering on Sean for a few more seconds. The young man sat there like a meditating monk for two days, during which time he caught countless flying fish.

A definite flying fish killer!

And Sean fished for flying fish for two or three days straight, completely ignoring the other fish.

"As a Nen user, you certainly have a strong foundation."

It seems like it won't be long before we can't even go fishing anymore!

Captain Red Nose looked past Sean and towards the sky not far away, where dark clouds blocked out the sunlight, making the whole sky dark.

"Boom!" Several bolts of lightning struck, and purple fluorescence appeared on the mast.

Xiao Jie was sitting next to Sean, secretly competing with him to see who could catch the most fish, when his nose twitched and he sensed something was wrong.

Looking up, I saw purple fireflies, radiating terrifying energy that sent chills down my spine.

“It’s the fire of Saint El.” At this moment, the red-nosed captain came out with a pipe in his mouth and said with a solemn expression.

"A luminous phenomenon caused by the static electrons in the air or charged rain clouds affecting the electrons on the mainsail."

Kurapika, unable to sit still any longer, stood up, squeezed into the crowd, looked at the purple glow on the mast, and explained.

The second half of the sentence was left unsaid because of uncertainty. This is a sign that a storm is coming!

"Your explanation was really detailed, thanks a lot." Leorio adjusted his sunglasses and made a face at Kurapika.

Kurapika frowned but remained silent.

The red-nosed captain, with a worried look on his face, added, "According to ancient legends, anyone who sees the fire of Saint Duel will never return."

He paused, as if afraid the crowd wouldn't understand, then took another breath and said in a solemn voice, "The storm is coming soon!"

Chapter 109 A Young Man's Ambition to Leave His Hometown X Ice Age X With Aokiji

Nth meeting

Yes, a storm is coming. If only we could push the [Water] ability up a little before it arrives.

Sean stood with his back to the crowd, his fishing rod motionless.

Countless "spiritual lines" spread out, thoroughly exploring the area of ​​sea beneath the ship.

"Whoosh~" The sea breeze blowing in their faces grew stronger and stronger. Seeing the fire of Santo El, the red-nosed captain rallied the sailors and hoisted the sails to prepare for the storm!

But in the face of nature, man-made ships are undoubtedly much smaller!

"Boom!" The tsunami crashed against the "Poseidon" like a pack of angry beasts.

The Poseidon cruised on the crests of the waves, as if walking on thin ice, tossing and turning, emitting mournful cries.

It almost made a person vomit their intestines out.

The sounds of "whoosh" rose and fell, and people on the deck were like balls, bouncing back and forth on both sides of the ship.

Only four people—Shaun, Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio—are still able to maintain normalcy.

Kurapika leaned against the mast with his eyes closed, resting. Leorio sat cross-legged on the deck, munching on an apple. Gon, still a child at heart, put away his fishing rod and stood on a barrel, having a great time "rolling the barrel." Sean, on the other hand, was as still as a rock, his feet seemingly nailed to the deck, still focused on unlocking the Aokiji template.

"Drip~" Not long after, the dark clouds finally drifted over the "Poseidon" and the rain began to fall, growing more and more intense. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a torrential downpour, soaking everyone to the bone.

"Crack!" A bolt of lightning struck down—

Captain Red Nose craned his neck and shouted onto the deck, "What are you four standing there for? Get in the cabin now!"

Leorio flicked his wrist and threw the remaining apple core into the sea, then called out to Gon, "Hey~ Gon, let's go."

"Okay, I'm here." Little Jie ran up to Sean, waved his little hand in front of him, and said, "Uncle, it's raining! Aren't you going into the cabin?"

Sean's blind eyes darted around, and he glanced up at the dark clouds. "Dark clouds press down on the city, threatening to crush it." What was the next line again?

"It looks like golden scales shimmering in the sunlight. How wonderful, how wonderful, haha!"

Sean suddenly grinned, as if struck by a sudden inspiration. The notification sound on the panel finally rang after a long wait of several days!

Capture the ripples, listen to the heart of water, feel the rhythmic nature of water—water is being explored.

[Admiral "Aokiji" template unlocking in progress]

[Current unlocking progress: 60% → 62%]

[Movement: "Ice Age" loading.]

[Would you like to redeem "Ice Age" now?]

Is there even a question? "Someone's probably been waiting impatiently for ages."

A faint smile curved Sean's lips. He said softly, "Call him out."

【Yes! 】

A familiar white light entered Sean's brow, and his consciousness expanded. A suppressed laugh echoed in Sean's ears.

"Ara ara~ You finally remembered me." Wearing a navy coat with the word "Justice" printed on the back, Kuzan pulled down his blindfold and yawned as soon as he appeared.

Thanks to Sean's improved mental capacity, the "Sage" has grown considerably over the past nine years. Now, he can not only pull characters from comics into his consciousness space, but he can even extend that consciousness outwards, creating a certain degree of interaction with the real world.

Unfortunately, consciousness is still just consciousness and cannot interfere with reality. In other words, none of the examinees, including Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio, could detect Aokiji's existence; only Shawn could see him.

"Heh~ Stop with the sarcastic remarks, Kuzan."

"It's your own fault for not wanting to come out." He lifted the fishing rod, and another flying fish sliced ​​through the sea breeze, crashing onto the deck.

Sean mimicked Kuzan's tone and sneered, "You were the one who said it before, that Mount Kukuro was too boring, and not to make me call you unless it's absolutely necessary."

"Ah la la la~ How can mountains compare to the sea?"

Kuzan, standing right next to the sea, seemed to come alive instantly. He strode over to Sean and stood shoulder to shoulder with him. Looking at the raging tsunami, the imminent collapse of the dark clouds, and the mournful cries of the ships, he pursed his lips and said, "Putting everything else aside, the sea here doesn't seem calm either~"

Sean narrowed his eyes: "It's alright, anyway, if Dahai gets angry, we'll be in deep trouble."

"Oh~." Kuzan leaned against the ship's railing, turned his head to look at Sean. The young man was over three meters tall, and compared to when they first met three years ago, he had grown taller and stronger, and looked even more powerful than before. He really was a freak!

"Drip-drop~ drip-drop~" The storm was getting closer, bringing rain.

Kuzan looked away and reached out a hand to catch a raindrop. The raindrop went straight through his palm and landed on the deck with a "plop," splashing out a tiny drop.

The general's lips curled into a slight smile, and he suddenly said, "Young man, do you still stand by what you said last time?"

One catch, one question. "Of course," Sean cast his line again. "You can ask now."

Aokiji nodded: "I've actually been observing you for a long time, just to know, what are you living for?"

"Some people fight for justice, some for their dreams, and what about you? You seem to lack nothing, so why do you still strive to become stronger?"

However, "Who told you I lack nothing?" Sean's eyes flickered, his thoughts drifting for a moment as he considered many things.

It seems that neither in his past life nor in this one—he has ever lived for himself.

In my past life, I listened to my parents when I was young, to my teachers at school, to my boss after entering the workforce, to my wife after starting a family, to my son in middle age, and to Death when I'm old.

Has anyone ever asked Sean what he wants?

So, "Mr. Kuzan, if you really insist on asking me why I became stronger?"

"This is all I can tell you: I have always lived for one purpose—to live for myself!"

The young man flipped his hand and put away his fishing rod, stood up and opened his arms, letting the rain lash his face. Facing the storm, he said calmly, "What I really want is for this world to be free of any cloud that can obscure my vision!"

"Truly embody the spirit of 'I come! I see! I conquer!'"

"Splash!" A sea breeze blew, bringing an even fiercer and more violent storm.

Raindrops pierced Aokiji's body like bullets. The general was momentarily stunned, then turned his head to look at Sean, who was embracing the world fearlessly in the face of wind and rain. He was so damn cool!

"Ah la la~ I've come, I've seen, I've conquered!"

As he kept repeating those words to himself, Kuzan touched his forehead with his hand, his clear black and white pupils gleaming with an increasingly bright light.

"Well said. If we don't live for our true selves, then life loses its meaning."

Aokiji looked at Sean with a hint of admiration: "Now, can you tell me your name?"

"A conqueror of the world should not be an unknown figure. If possible, I would love to witness the day you reach the pinnacle of the world!"

"Why didn't you ask last time I told you to?" Sean rolled his eyes at Aokiji and said indifferently, "Sean Zoldyck. My name is Sean Zoldyck!"

"Sean Zoldyck?"

Aokiji chewed for a while, then tossed a ball of experience to Sean. "I can sense that in terms of physical ability, you're no less than me. The rest is about understanding the fruit and cultivating Haki."

The general looked intently at Sean and said, "Reaching the world stage isn't just empty talk; you still need to keep working hard, kid!"

Sean reached out and grabbed the experience in his hand, then smiled faintly and said, "Putting everything else aside, surpassing you is no problem."

"Oh~" Aokiji crossed his arms and glanced at Sean sideways, saying, "It's not that I'm underestimating you."

"You haven't even mastered the Ice Age yet, so you're not ready now."

Experience doesn't equate to learning. But Aokiji seemed to have forgotten one thing. "What I'm doing is called exchange; it doesn't require any learning."

"Just take it and use it, want to know?" Sean winked at Aokiji teasingly, grabbed the experience pack, and pressed it to his forehead.

Then, a sudden realization dawned on me.

He closed his eyes, reached out his hand, and grabbed something casually.
