Synopsis[]

Chap 378 - Ken'i and Hinrigh ordered to find Hisoka

Ken'i and Hinrigh ordered to find Hisoka

Upon hearing about the presence of the Phantom Troupe on the Black Whale, Onior Longbao, the head of the Xi-Yu Family, talks about the necessity of a balance of power to Brocco Li, the head of the Cha-R Family. Brocco notes that the Troupe is more savage than that. Both order their Underbosses to find Hisoka before the Troupe does. Ken'i tells his subordinates that Jenny Symbol 201110 million will be given to anyone with useful information, Jenny Symbol 201110 million to anyone who finds Hisoka, and Jenny Symbol 201110 million to the leader of the area. Hinright tells his subordinates to find men traveling alone or in a family of three or more.

Morena Prudo, the head of the Heil-Ly Family and the illegitimate daughter of King Nasubi, talks to her family, where she thanks them for their contribution. She silently thinks to herself that she wants to see the world destroyed. Proceeding to kiss each member, she bestows to them the leveling system that can help them rise in ranking. She explains that they will gain one level for killing a regular person, 10 levels for a Nen user, and 50 levels for a Prince.

Chap 378 - Morena eager to destroy the world

Morena eager to destroy the world

It's stated that illegitimate descendants of the King who are incapable of ascending to the throne receive two scars on their face at birth and are forced to stay out of the public eye. Morena thinks about how cruel it is to bring a child into the world and mistreat it, and she remarks on the bond she has with her scar, as it helped her find her "balance". She declares that her will to live is simply in order to bring down the world.

The Phantom Troupe discusses the dynamics of the Mafia families and their relations to the Princes of the ship. Nobunaga, Phinks, and Feitan decide to retrieve weapons from the storage facility. Nobunaga insists on going alone, but Feitan and Phinks refuse to accept, reminding him that he himself admitted that Hisoka was stronger than he. In the warehouse, they are guided by a man who disappears from Nobunaga's En. They later find the wound-ridden corpse of the man, astonishing them.

Chap 378 - Luini spying on the Spiders

Luini spying on the Spiders

On Tier 3, 20 people were murdered by a man who, according to a witness, was in his twenties and had a large crescent-shaped scar on his left cheek. Mizaistom asks to speak to the witness directly. Luini of the Heil-Ly Family, who matches the description of the murderer, watches the Phantom Troupe members in the warehouse from an opening in the ceiling. He expresses his admiration for them and wishes to destroy the world with them.
