Hunter x Hunter: Card Master, the Strongest in the World

Chapter 184 A+ Devil Fruit! A-Rank Uchiha Sasuke!

A random, fixed A+ rank Paramecia-type Devil Fruit!

Of the three main categories of Devil Fruits, Paramecia-type fruits have the most diverse abilities, including some with powerful effects.

For example, in terms of strength, there are the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, the Float-Float Fruit, and the Multiply-Multiply Fruit...

Those focusing on support abilities include the Hobby-Hobby Fruit, the Door-Door Fruit, and the Paw-Paw Fruit...

The upper and lower limits of Paramecia-type Devil Fruits vary greatly, so it's hard to say what kind of Devil Fruits they can produce, but an A+ grade shouldn't be too far off.

This kind of thing shouldn't be used rashly; you should consult a divination master first.

Lynn first took out the divination tissues and randomly pulled one out.

[Daikichi]

It seems he's having good luck today.

With a slight thought, a gift box appeared in his hand. A flash of light appeared, and then a square, green, spiral-patterned fruit that looked exactly like the shape of Minecraft came into view.

【Name: Door-Door Fruit】

Grade: A+

[Type: Item Card]

[Background: One Piece]

[Introduction: One of the Paramecia-type Devil Fruits, possessing spatial abilities that can be continuously developed and upgraded. It has three effects: Effect 1: Door Opening - Allows the user to open a door on a target's surface and then attack it. Effect 2: Teleportation - After opening a door, the user can teleport, with the cost increasing with distance. Effect 3: Coordinates - Leaves invisible coordinates on objects, allowing the user to teleport to those coordinates regardless of distance. If the object is destroyed, the coordinates disappear. Each coordinate teleportation ability can only be used once a month. Current coordinate limit: 1]

It was none other than a Door Fruit, a fruit related to space!

Their conceptual abilities, such as those related to time and space, are generally quite good.

The effects of the A+ grade Door-Door Fruit were even more astonishing. The first two were normal effects, but the third coordinate was different.

He can leave coordinates on the target he contacts, and then open a door from a distance to teleport to the location of the coordinates with very low resource consumption.

This is undoubtedly an extremely useful ability.

In this vast and boundless world, distance is a terrible limitation.

The six continents, which are the same size as the Earth, are merely islands in Lake Möbius. It is hard to imagine how big Lake Möbius is, or how vast the Dark Continent on the other side must be.

Even disregarding the dangers along the way, the time required to travel from the six continents to the Dark Continent alone is measured in months or even years.

The time spent traveling back and forth is quite expensive.

But now that he possesses the Door-Door Fruit, he only needs to make a voluntary trip to the Dark Continent the first time and leave his coordinates there. He can then return to the Dark Continent after returning to the Six Continents, and vice versa.

This is equivalent to reducing the distance by half.

Ideally, you should have two permanent coordinates, one at home and one in the Dark Continent, which should satisfy your travel needs.

It's a pity that the A+ grade Door-Door Fruit only has one coordinate; perhaps upgrading to S- grade will allow it to have more coordinates.

Exploring the Dark Continent in the future will be infinitely easier.

In addition, you should also pay attention to the location of the coordinates.

Coordinates can only disappear in two ways: either they can be actively canceled and their position changed, or the object containing the coordinates is destroyed.

He first used his Devouring Power to eat the Door-Door Fruit, so he could enjoy its abilities without any side effects.

After a moment's consideration, he took out a magical artifact given to him by the Reges royal family. It was shaped like a colorful cube and had a gem-like luster.

The Reges royal family named this artifact "Rainbow Rock." It has no special use; its only effect is its hardness, making it extremely difficult to destroy. Even a close-range explosion cannot harm it.

He set the coordinates here, and then Kurapika carried them, so that he could make the most of these coordinates.

Whether it's for everyday activities or escaping in a critical moment, you can use coordinates to get to Kurapika's location.

Just then, friction was escalating at Capone's place, with clashes already occurring with multiple forces, including the gangs belonging to the two Ten Elders, and war could break out at any moment.

He had already sent the chivalrous man over there, and the results were quite good. The chivalrous man used his intellect and Nen abilities to successfully alienate the Ten Elders Gang from the other gangs.

Next, he plans to send Kurapika, Leorio, and Pudding to help Capone and try to resolve the situation as soon as possible.

He was to travel to the special location Jin had mentioned to explore, and he could use the coordinates to accomplish his goal no matter what unexpected situation arose on either side.

He first summoned his two apprentices, and soon Kurapika and Leorio arrived, awaiting their master's command.

Lynn handed the Rainbow Stone, which had been marked with coordinates, to Kurapika so that he could carry it with him, and then looked at the two of them.

After his rigorous training, the two fellow disciples have developed considerable skills and become qualified Nen users.

In particular, during the battle to defend the capital that night, Leorio and his companion contributed a great deal of effort, which was recorded in the [Employee Badge]. On May 31st, their "salary" was officially settled, allowing them to grow in strength by a significant margin.

Kurapika has now surpassed his senior brother Leorio and possesses A-rank strength.

Leorio is still B+ rank, but he should be able to be promoted to A- rank soon.

After careful consideration, Lynn decided to first pick the Kurapika fruit.

Based on previous information, the claim that "cards can be dropped again after the enemy's strength increases" in [Card Master] likely refers to each major stage increase.

Therefore, Kurapika, who is at the A- rank, has a real chance of getting a high-ranking card.

The twelve earthly branches will not be replaced in the short term; according to the original timeline, it will take another year.

Before that, he needs to beat the rest of the zodiac signs as soon as possible, and find a way to get Kurapika and Leorio to take their place if any of them don't have their talismans detonated.

The higher the talisman level, the better, so he plans to "harvest" the A- rank Kurapika first and save the S- rank Kurapika for later when he can get more talismans.

With his guidance, plus the help of his Gourmet Cells and Sharingan, it would be no problem for Kurapika to grow to S-class, and it wouldn't even take long.

If Kurapika were to replace Pariston in the Rat position, he might just get an S-rank Rat Talisman.

The S-level ability to transform stillness into movement is bound to be just as effective.

In addition, he had another conjecture.

Starting from Rank A, the gap between each stage is quite large. In fact, the synthesis effect of [Gate of Truth] is to synthesize Rank A- or Rank A cards into Rank A+ cards, which may be an indication that the former two are two different levels from A+.

Perhaps when Kurapika reaches A+ level, he'll be able to unleash his full potential again.

So he plans to beat up the A-rank Kurapika now.

Kurapika was a little surprised, but also excited, when he learned that his master wanted to see his current strength.

He needs to perform well so that his master can see his growth.

The three of them went directly to the dojo.

The lights are bright.

On the professional arena, Lynn and Kurapika, master and apprentice, stood on opposite sides, while Leorio was the only spectator in the audience.

This was a sparring match between master and apprentice, and the outcome was not in any suspense, since they both knew how big the gap was in their strength.

So from the very beginning, Kurapika wasn't thinking about winning; instead, he wanted to show as much of his progress as possible.

"Master," Kurapika said respectfully, performing the pre-battle ritual.

Lynn nodded slightly and said calmly, "Come on."

"Yes!"

Kurapika's expression turned serious. He flicked his hands behind him, instantly conjuring two swords in his hands and unleashing a powerful burst of Nen energy.

[Refine]!

Just from this training, you can see that Kurapika's basic skills are very solid and his strength is also quite good.

The next moment, Kurapika stomped his foot and swiftly approached Lynn.

In the blink of an eye, Kurapika rushed to Lynn's side, his right hand wielding the sword [Judgment], unleashing a fierce slash that struck directly at him.

How exactly will we respond?

Beneath those colored contact lenses, Kurapika's eyes transformed into fiery red ones, within which three tomoe swirled.

After the Phantom Troupe was wiped out that night, Kurapika was overwhelmed with a mix of emotions: the joy of avenging his grudge and the pain of losing his people.

This emotional fluctuation also enabled him to break through from two tomoe to three tomoe Sharingan.

This is also a major reason why Kurapika was promoted to A- rank.

At the same time, Kurapika used his second Nen ability, Absolute Time, to amplify the effects of his Sharingan and dual swords.

He couldn't afford to be arrogant in front of his master, so he went all out from the very beginning.

In those eyes that could "see through everything," everything seemed to slow down. He stared intently at Lynn, afraid of missing even the smallest detail.

However, his master's speed far exceeded his expectations.

In an instant, truly just an instant, even his three-tomoe Sharingan could only catch a fleeting afterimage before Lynn moved his body and easily dodged his attack.

Kurapika's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly responded, thrusting out his left-hand sword, Discipline.

A strong wind is blowing!

Kurapika wielded his two swords at an incredibly fast speed, creating a relentless and fierce offensive. However, upon closer inspection, it became clear that Kurapika was not slashing randomly; each strike was perfectly timed.

Despite the fierce and relentless attacks, Lynn remained calm and composed, only occasionally exchanging blows with Kurapika, using only one hand and without resorting to Hyōrinmaru.

Two figures moved constantly on the stage, while Leorio watched intently from below.

During this process, Lynn also gained a clearer understanding of Kurapika's current strength, which is now even stronger than that of the Phantom Troupe combatants.

The fruit grower's plan was a great success.

With Kurapika and Leorio's strength, they can go outside and destroy cards for him, which is enough to deal with most situations.

Not long after, the competition came to an end.

Lynn was also lucky enough to get a new card from Kurapika.

Name: Uchiha Sasuke

[Grade: A]

[Type: Character Card]

[Background: Naruto]

[Introduction: The reincarnation of Indra Otsutsuki, an Uchiha ninja with a cursed seal and three-tomoe Sharingan. He is skilled in using lightning release and genjutsu, possesses formidable strength, and has immense potential.]

Lynn's eyes lit up with joy; the Kurapika replica had been revealed!

Uchiha Sasuke has so many similarities to Kurapika: fiery red eyes, and the memory of his clan being wiped out...

It's even possible that Sasuke was modeled after Kurapika.

As one of the two main characters in Naruto, Sasuke possesses top-notch strength and talent. He is the reincarnation of Indra Otsutsuki, but unfortunately, he is currently in the three-tomoe stage. Sasuke in the Mangekyou Sharingan stage would be even stronger.

But he was already quite content. He had originally thought that either he wouldn't be able to get it, or he would be lucky enough to get a three-tomoe Sharingan.

Now look what's happened, they've produced a real-life Sassin.

It would be so satisfying if his best buddy Naruto revealed it one day.

Having obtained the A+ rank Door-Door Fruit and the A rank Sasuke, Lynn was in high spirits. He opened his panel to admire it and also thought about his next move (click on the comments to view the panel).

The royal ceremony is over, and the progress bar for the capital city of Reges has finished loading. It's time to head to the next destination.

Leorio and the others went to Yokersin, while he went to keep his appointment.

Any place that can attract Jin's attention is probably not simple.

I hope to give him a surprise.

……

a few days later.

It is located in the port of a coastal city not far from Youkexin City on the western side of the continent of Yulubian.

As evening approached, fiery clouds lit up the horizon.

A salty sea breeze was blowing along the beach.

Lynn walked alone, his shadow stretched longer by the setting sun, the afterglow illuminating his extraordinary face.
