Plot
Chimera Ant arc
Ponzu informs the group that her message wasn't received by the group they were in contact with
As part of an expedition group in NGL, with Pokkle, Ponzu, and Pekuba, they bear witness to a group of Chimera Ants, most notably a Gun-toting Ant wielding two pistols, hunting human prey.[1] Sometime later one of Ponzu's messenger bees returns with the S.O.S. message, still in its possession. It's deduced that the other group of Hunters they were in contact with were killed, so Pokkle decides to escape and get in contact with the Hunter Association. Pekuba and Balda, both agree and at that moment a Chimera Ant ambushes the group and decapitates an unsuspecting Pekuba.[2]
Balda being captured by Pike
Immediately Pokkle kills the Chimera Ant with his Red Arrow Nen ability and tells Balda and Ponzu to make a run for it, but Pike scales a cliff and ambushes the group. Pokkle fights with Pike who uses his sticky web to try and capture Pokkle, but catches Balda instead and bites off a chunk of Balda's skull, killing him instantly.[2]
