“but Meruem could kill Mr. Gon on his first clean hit based on the fact that Pitou could rip him apart so easily than Meruem can only do this easier“

you are missing one point: pitou could not even touch gon when he was on guard.

Also, Gon is one of the fastest chars in that state.

He was not even trying, he simply stepped aside when pitou attcked from behind(!). So we can assume that he is even faster when using all his power and therefore the king might also get in trouble before being able to hit him once.

and keep in mind that gon never heard of dead s people nen ... phinks stopped when he was about to reveal this fact back then during the york shin act.

So only gon's lack of knowledge regarding this fact and his emotional state of emergency let pitou succeed, not pitou herself.

Also, pitou was already dead when she attacked so technically Gon won without any injury.

But of course this doesn't mean Gon would win in any case.

it is a 50:50 chance.

and I don't see any point in mention the king's intelligence.

gon is a warrior, he comes up with brilliant ideas in the middle of a battle (genthru!).

Unlike Netero's way of fighting Gon will go for the kill instantly so the King won't have any time for a strategy.

But damn, the ant's tough skin is just hax.

If it wasnt for the king's shell he wouldn't have survived Neteros attacks.
