Okay while that was quite comprehensive wasn't it, but nen is always there so at no point was Gon not using nen ntm the constant visable stream of aura eminatting from him. Meruem and Pitou haing a similar body structure means nothing in a series like hunter hunter. I'm pretty sure you are overestimiting the enhancement qualities of nen consider Kurapika was just stronger then Uvo's durabilty while Uvo was zetsu and he was gyo. Also once you reach a certain point nen is always around you meaning your normal self is with nen already active you can use ren to release more and more but aura is always there wether they show it or not. So I don't think Gon is successfully blocking any of Meruems attacks(who could in reality use gyo too if he wanted which is just a localized version of ren) though he could evade them he'd have to evade them all and Pitou's face managed to tank(as in wasn't beheaded) a full out rock(he powered it up by charging it on Pitou the whole time she was falling and it still wasn't enough to behead her) so Meruem should be able to block even rock and hit Gon before Gon can land a fatal hit which he'd probaby have to use rock miultiple times to accomplish which utilizes Ko and has a charge time exposing him leaving Meruem the opening if needed to kill him.
