Synopsis[]

Chap 266 - Youpi transforming

Youpi transforming to fight off the intruders

Even with Pitou's En missing, and Youpi unexpectedly standing on the first floor, Killua can remain calm through his experience. Also caught off-guard, Youpi immediately ceases all thought and grows four more monstrous arms, declaring that he's a shield that will protect the King. It's revealed that, of the Royal Guards, he's the only non-human hybrid, having only magical beast genes. His lack of individuality and ego gave him more strength. With Youpi standing in wait on the stairs, Shoot stops at the bottom because he knew if he moved any further, Youpi could lash out and hit Knuckle and Meleoron. As Shoot begins to move his flying hands to draw away Youpi's attention, Zeno's Dragon Dive comes crashing through the ceiling.

Although Killua recognizes it as his grandfather's technique, he is startled along with everyone else, with the exception of Gon and Youpi, who keep their minds focused on the enemy in front of them. The rest are stunned at Gon's action since Youpi wasn't his target, but they eventually realize that if Knuckle and Meleoron were to be hit by one of the arrows and killed, no one could be sure if God's Accomplice would deactivate, or if the ability would remain, leaving the two to decay without ever being found.

Chap 266 - Gon and Youpi

Gon and Youpi facing off

And so as Gon charges forward, Shoot feels shame at not having realized this, but Morel doesn't blame him and says to himself that if Gon and Killua are taking on Youpi, Shoot's target is now Pitou. However, it's said that Shoot didn't feel shame, but had admiration for Gon, wanting to tell the world about this boy to whom he owes everything. Shoot reflects on his past fears, feeling stuck in a cage as his friends try to break him out, and Gon eventually being the one to do so. He swears that he'll survive in order to thank Gon, advancing along with him toward Youpi. But suddenly something seems to hit Youpi, moving him to the side as Gon and Killua run past him, and the others are relieved to know that Knuckle and Meleoron are still alive.

Through the shower of dragons and the hail of rubble, Pouf flies desperately toward the throne room. When he reaches his destination and sees that the room is empty, he quietly smiles.
