Hunter x Hunter: The Strongest Zoldyck

Boom!

The hundred-ton behemoth started with a roar, its blade-like tip plunging down, tearing a ravine-like opening in the calm water.

In an instant, the water flowed rapidly to both sides, stirring up surging waves.

The waves surged two meters high, spraying towards the first-floor deck.

The four people on the deck stood firmly in place, completely unaffected by the sudden descent of the giant steam ship, like roly-poly toys.

Bang!

A small pink umbrella suddenly opened, and waves crashed against it, splashing countless water droplets that scattered like mercury.

In the misty air, the little girl in the sailor uniform stood still, steadily setting up the boom and pulling it up.

Crack!

A silvery-white sea fish leaped out of the water and flipped and tumbled in mid-air.

Its thin, translucent fins fluttered like dragonfly wings, scattering a few drops of water.

Swish.....

The little girl in the sailor uniform suddenly swung the fishing rod, and the fishing line stretched into a straight line in the air, making a buzzing sound.

At the end of the fishing line, the palm-sized fish lip was hooked into a curled mouth, turned inside out.

"snort!"

With a cold snort, the little girl in the sailor uniform suddenly changed her expression, a hint of ferocity appearing on her innocent face, and her hands gripping the fishing rod tightened.

Creak...creak...

The bamboo pole creaked as it was squeezed.

This is her putting in the effort.

Bang!......

A large, silver-blue fish with a round belly slammed onto the deck, bounced a few times, and then lay still.

The force was so strong that it was stunned the moment it hit the ground.

Tap tap tap.....

A figure appeared where the fish had fallen and slowly crouched down.

"It's a rare flying fish! You're lucky, Beanie."

The girl's eyebrows twitched involuntarily, her expression turned somewhat unpleasant, and her originally grayish-brown eyes turned a dark red.

"Who are you calling a little kid!"

Ugh! ......

The iron hook, originally meant to hook the fish's mouth, nimbly slipped out of the fish's mouth and struck the red-haired boy in the face with lightning speed.

The fishhook is moving very fast and quickly, and it is impossible for an ordinary person to avoid it.

But... the red-haired boy is no ordinary person.

"hehe....."

The red-haired boy didn't dodge; a dark yellow arm lashed out, coiling around the fishing line behind the iron hook like a python, and then yanked hard.

Suddenly, a tremendous force came from the fishing rod in the sailor-uniform girl's hand.

She immediately mustered all her strength to grip the fishing rod tightly, trying to keep it steady.

However, after a half-second stalemate, the fishing rod still slipped from my hand...

Crackling sounds...

With a crisp crack, the dark brown shaft broke apart.

"Huh...it's so flimsy."

The red-haired boy, whose arm was wrapped in fishing line, scratched the back of his head and laughed awkwardly.

bass!......

The clear, bright echo reverberated in all directions.

A double-edged sword was instantly drawn from the little girl's waist and abdomen.

Before the red-haired boy could react, the girl had already pounced on him.

Countless streaks of sword light, like bolts of lightning, enveloped the red-haired youth.

In just a few breaths, they shredded his coarse linen clothes into pieces, revealing his upper body.

Strangely, although the red-haired boy's clothes were completely torn, he was not injured at all.

The girl's attack, which was like a storm, had not harmed him in the slightest.

"Hey, hey... that's going too far."

"Although I broke your fishing rod, I didn't say I wouldn't pay for it. It's not right of you to cut me like this."

Amidst the flashing blades, the red-haired boy continued to try to persuade her, but the girl paid no heed; she had only one thought in her mind.

Kill him! Kill this wretched boy!

They actually called her "Little Bean," which she hates most when people call her that.

And he actually broke the fishing rod my brother gave me!!!

"Go to hell!!!"

The girl in the sailor uniform shouted angrily, and her twin swords moved even faster.

"Hey, if you hit me again, I won't be so polite, little bean."

The red-haired boy was no longer as relaxed as before; he seemed slightly annoyed.

This little guy is going even faster; if he keeps pushing like that, I might not be able to keep up.

But... if I go all out, can she withstand it?

Amidst his flustered thoughts, the red-haired boy glanced at the girl's delicate and youthful face, feeling somewhat worried.

"Little...bean...kid..."

The sailor-uniformed girl uttered those three words through gritted teeth, her whole body turning red, especially her brown eyes, which had become as red as rubies.

"The Kurta tribe?"

On a mast not far from the two, Roy looked at the girl in surprise.

In that instant, he took in the change in the girl's eyes from brown to red.

A group of people from his memory immediately came to mind.

The Kurta Clan... a minority group in the Hunter x Hunter world, and also the race from which Kurapika, the original protagonist of the group, originated.

A race possessing one of the world's "Seven Great Beauties," with fiery red eyes.

Unfortunately... they possessed extraordinary items, but lacked the corresponding strength.

If I remember correctly...

Years later, the Phantom Troupe will attack the Kurta tribe's village in order to seize the Scarlet Eyes.

They killed all 127 of their clansmen, leaving only Kurapika who managed to escape.

The eyes of these 127 clansmen will be sold to the black market by the Phantom Troupe in exchange for a huge bounty.

This tragedy directly changed Kurapika's life, transforming him into the Spider's Doom, the Chain Killer!

So... she is from the Kurta tribe.

A glint flashed in Roy's eyes, and he carefully observed the girl again. Her ruby ​​eyes did indeed possess an unparalleled beauty.

I never expected to encounter the Kuruta tribe.

If I help her, could I intervene before the story of their clan's extermination begins?

Even if we don't save all of their people, rescuing a few of them shouldn't be a problem.

I was once a model student raised under the red flag.

If I didn't know, fine, but now that I do, I can't rest easy without doing my part.

Regardless of whether Roy has any conscience, the fact remains that he... took action.

"Young men and women... don't act impulsively..."

Just as the red-haired boy couldn't hold back any longer and unleashed a powerful punch, striking the girl's head.

A white figure appeared between them in the blink of an eye.

The figure spread his right hand into a palm to block the red-haired boy's attack, while his left hand reached out and grabbed the sailor-uniformed girl's short sword blades in the gap.

"What's it to you!"

The red-haired boy and the girl in the sailor uniform shouted in unison.

The spittle that flew out sprayed all over Roy's face.

"You bastards!"

With a roar, Roy exerted force with both hands simultaneously. First, he struck with his right hand, pushing forward with a circular motion, then suddenly pushed the red-haired boy away with his outstretched palm.

Then, with his left hand gripping the short blade upside down, he thrust the hilt forward, striking the girl squarely in the chest and pushing her back.

In the blink of an eye, the red-haired boy and the sailor-uniformed girl stumbled and fell, creating distance between them.

"Cough cough... cough cough..."

"Who are you?"

The girl, who had been nudged in the chest, coughed and glared at Roy with hostility.
