Two Realms: Hunters and Pirates

Step forward.

Zane lunged forward, his right elbow, imbued with Nen and Armament Haki, slamming heavily into his opponent's chest.

A violent collision.

Although Phinks was furious about Feitan's disappearance, he had clearly not lost his mind.

When struck by an elbow, immediately gather your inner energy in your chest for maximum defense.

But even so.

Zane's elbow strike still managed to suppress his opponent.

With a cracking sound, Finks groaned and his feet slid backward as he stumbled backward.

Let's have a one-on-one fight!

With a single, decisive blow, Zane wasted no time and immediately activated his Nen ability again.

Descending into a familiar, equal space.

Zane transformed into a gust of wind and swept away, giving Finks no chance to react, and threw another punch.

Spatial Nen ability?

When Finks saw the drastic change in his surroundings, this thought immediately flashed through his mind.

Before he could think it through, Zain, who was coming towards him, forced him to immediately engage in battle.

With a punch landing on Finks's left arm as he tried to block him, Zane's right hand moved fluidly into a chop to strike Finks's throat.

Finks quickly retreated to dodge.

They made continuous, rapid advances.

Zane's arms blurred into afterimages as he continued his relentless attacks.

Finks struggled to defend himself; let alone retaliate, his arms were quickly covered in wounds from the continuous blocking, causing him excruciating pain.

Two gases run in parallel.

With both Nen and Armament Haki enveloping him, Zane's attack had clearly exceeded Phinks's Nen defense.

They forced their opponent to retreat continuously.

Zain suddenly lowered himself, and his right leg swept across his opponent's lower body like a steel whip.

Both feet are off the body.

The sudden change in the offensive caught Finks completely off guard, and he flipped sideways off the ground.

The Art of War: Killing Fist - Spinning and Turning - Aggression Like Fire!

His right arm spun rapidly, and his fist slammed into the opponent's abdomen.

"ah!!!"

Phinks spat out blood, and amidst the scorching flames, he spun like a top as he was blasted away into the distance.

ended.

The severe abdominal injury caused Phinks's Nen to dissipate.

Although it was only a brief moment, it was enough for Zane.

A swift dash.

Zain caught up with his opponent quickly and swiftly slashed his neck with a chop to the neck.

Dispersed mental energy is difficult to defend against.

When Finks hit the ground, his head had already separated from his body.

"You shouldn't regret using your accomplice's techniques to kill you!"

Zain casually flicked the blood off his hands.

Compared to his previous battle with Feitan, he displayed an overwhelming advantage in this fight against Phinks.

The reason for this difference is not that Feitan and Phinks are far apart in strength, but that Zane has become stronger.

After stealing Feitan's Nen techniques, Zane has no weaknesses in his mastery of Nen.

This change significantly boosted his strength.

This allowed him to fully utilize his abundant spiritual energy.

The spilled blood and corpses turned into particles, converging into four orbs of light.

"I'll choose Nen!"

After a moment's thought, Zain grabbed the ball of Nen energy.

He currently only has one remaining entry for his brand.

Although you can replace it later, you definitely can't choose it casually.

Phinks' Nen ability is called "Return".

By concentrating one's energy in the arm and rotating it, the power of the punch is increased.

The more times it spins, the stronger its power.

Listen.

This Nen ability is a perfect match for the Spin-Spin Fruit ability.

While [Return] may not be as flashy as Feitan's Nen ability, Zaun will certainly not miss out on its high compatibility with the Spin-Spin Fruit ability.

...........

The deaths of Phinks and Feitan were like two pebbles thrown into a lake.

It seemed to have created quite a ripple, but it quickly returned to calm.

Of course, this calm is only superficial.

In the original storyline, Silva of the Zoldyck family had killed members of the Phantom Troupe.

Afterwards, he was found by Chrollo of the Phantom Troupe, and a fierce battle ensued.

Although Silva ultimately did nothing, this demonstrates the Phantom Troupe's extremely high level of vengefulness.

"Anyway, you should just hide for now. Hmm... If the Phantom Troupe finds you, don't try to fight them. Just give me away. That way, you'll at least have a slim chance of survival, not a guaranteed one."

Zain gave instructions to Dongba on the other end of the phone.

"Huh?!" Upon learning that Zane had indeed dealt with the Phantom Troupe, but that he might be discovered and hunted down by the Phantom Troupe, Tonpa was completely stunned.

Because not only will Zain be hunted down, but Zain's underling will also be unable to escape.

There's no way to hide things forever; there are no secrets in this world.

As an intelligence buyer, if he were exposed, Tonpa would definitely not be let off by the Phantom Troupe.

It can only be said that danger and opportunity go hand in hand.

While Tonba made a fortune after becoming Zain's henchman, he also inevitably faced the risk of criminal retaliation while hunting criminals.

End the call.

Zain immediately looked ahead at the dense forest filled with a primeval atmosphere.

This is some unknown, remote mountain forest.

It was also the place he chose for his cultivation.

He successively plundered two Nen abilities.

He then planned to pause the hunt and digest the Nen abilities he had acquired.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Somewhere in a dense forest.

Zain stared at the steep cliff face ahead and slowly raised his right arm.

First of all.

【man of Steel】.

The right arm instantly became metallic.

then.

The energy of thought is swirling around.

Armament Haki enveloped it.

Two streams of energy surged forth and coiled around his entire right arm.

then.

The Way of War: Killing Fist - Aggression Like Fire.

The flames simply rose and flowed through his fist.

At last.

[Return to Heaven] is activated.

The Spin-Spin Fruit's power is activated.

Om~!

The right arm, engulfed in flames, rotates at high speed.

At the same time, the [Return to Heaven] technique took effect, like a clockwork mechanism, frantically accumulating power as the right arm rotated at high speed.

With its astonishing rotational speed, Zane's right arm instantly changed, turning a fiery red like magma.

Aggression blazes like fire, a blazing inferno!

He stomped heavily on his feet, his fist moving with his body.

As Zane darted out, his blazing red right arm transformed into a devastating punch that slammed into the steep cliff face opposite him.

Boom!!!

The earth-shattering roar startled countless birds and beasts in the forest, causing them to flee in all directions.

Like a volcanic eruption, the crimson shockwave instantly shattered the steep cliff face, and then, with its remaining force, it slanted towards the sky, stirring up layers of explosive air waves.

A heat wave swept through.

When the crimson shockwave dissipated, the cliff within a radius of nearly 100 meters had disappeared, and the mountainside along the edge appeared to be melting into a glassy state.

"It's very powerful, but also very demanding!"

As he slowly exhaled, Zain looked at the shocking destruction before him and then looked down at his charred right arm.

After half a month of digestion, he has perfectly integrated [Iron Body] and [Return to Heaven] into his own system.

That last strike was the final test of my hard work over the past two weeks.

Its power is beyond doubt.

However, its shortcomings are also obvious.

Even if he metallizes his right arm, the terrifying high temperature will still cause significant burns to it.

"You can't have your cake and eat it too. We've already achieved a great result." Zane has a good attitude.

If there are any shortcomings, we can make up for them gradually later.

Whether it's improving defense or enhancing self-healing, with his abilities, it won't be difficult in the future.
