Salé-salé Hui Guo Rou (サレサレ＝ホイコーロ, Saresare Hoikōro) was the Eighth Prince of the Kakin Empire and the only child of his father's fifth wife, Swinko-swinko.

Appearance

Salé-salé was a tall, fat man with a plump face. His hair was fair, short at the sides of his head, and longer in the middle. He has ear piercings on his right ear. He had fairly large muscles, which together with his general corpulence contributed to his large appearance.

Personality

Salé-salé with women

Salé-salé was a womanizer and was often seen surrounded by attractive and scantily clad young women. Salé-salé's penchant for debauchery and gluttony were prominent throughout his appearances, such as when he proudly demonstrates a disregard for the Succession War in his room on the Black Whale 1, preferring to enjoy himself in an extravagant party with several scantily dressed women as he sat barely dressed himself with large amounts of food and drink littered across the floor in his room.

Despite that, he was able to socialize as he was seen amiably talking with two young women at the departure ceremony on the Black Whale 1. He was a very self-assured man, confidently asserting multiple times that his rap performance at the banquet would change the world. According to Rihan, he let his mother take care of most responsibilities.

Plot

Succession Contest arc

Beyond Netero and the princes of Kakin Empire

Salé-salé is first officially seen when Kakin's 14 Princes are introduced. Salé-salé is seen surrounded by 4 attractive women caressing him, wearing a light-colored robe. On the day of the departure, Salé-salé is seen with the rest of his siblings and Beyond on a platform, raising both hands high to wave to the crowd. Kakin's Royal Family is flown into the Black Whale 1 shortly after, where they reside on Tier 1 during the journey to the New Continent. Salé-salé is next seen attending a departure ceremony taking place in the ballroom on Tier 1 of the Black Whale 1 speaking to some female guests. When Prince Benjamin returns from the departure ceremony, he assigns his personal soldiers to act as guards for and spies on the other princes, including Salé-salé.

After returning from the departure ceremony, Salé-salé is seen with several scantily-clothed women partying to loud music in his room. Salé-salé loudly enjoys himself as he sits barely clothed on a floor couch in his room, with women kissing him and lying on him. A guard watches silently over the prince, seated with food and drink, party decorations, and even money littered on the floor around him. Salé-salé's Guardian Spirit Beast hovers above him, a giant sphere covered in mouths, surrounded by white smoke emitted from its mouths and several smaller copies of itself.

Swinko-swinko tells her son to focus

Several hours later, Salé-salé's mother Queen Swinko-swinko confronts him in his room and tells him to focus on the succession contest. Guards silently watch as Swinko-swinko speaks to Salé-salé while he lounges, barely clothed, with two women by his side in a bed surrounded by litter. Swinko-swinko tells him to mend his ways or risk being the first to drop out. Salé-salé tries to reassure her by confidently declaring a plan to "change the world" at the next banquet a week later.

At night, Salé-salé is contacted by Room 1014 about their offer to teach Nen to two of Salé-salé's men over two weeks. Salé-salé chooses to send only Mushaho, Swinko-swinko's Captain of the Guards, who reminds himself about the importance of the lessons despite Salé-salé's likely happiness at being able to be rid of him while he attends the classes.

The next morning, Salé-salé lies in bed with a couple of women as they ask him about what he plans to do at the banquet. He initially keeps it a secret, but gives them a hint when they tell him that they can't attend the banquet, and eventually decides to have it broadcast over the public announcement system. Salé-salé's Guardian Spirit Beast continues to emit smoke from its many mouths as he talks with the women. While this goes on, Benjamin's soldier Rihan stands guard and continues his assessment of Salé-salé's Guardian Spirit Beast to best prepare his Predator, focusing his efforts towards identifying either the Guardian Spirit Beast's ability or pattern in its appearances and its attack before the banquet.

Rihan and Koroabde close by to Prince Salé-salé

On the third day, Rihan makes progress in identifying Salé-salé's Guardian Spirit Beast's ability as he stands guard next to Koroabde. Rihan identifies it as a manipulator which controls people when they inhale its exhaled smoke. As smoke is inhaled, one's goodwill towards Salé-salé increases, and people who inhale sufficient smoke have a small copy of the beast appear above them, which can itself exhale more smoke and make more clones. Rihan holds off on unleashing his Predator until he can identify how long it takes for a clone to form over someone without loyalty to Salé-salé.

On the fourth day, Salé-salé lounges in bed as usual with women by his side and his Guardian Spirit Beast exhaling smoke above him. A copy of Salé-salé's Guardian Spirit Beast forms over Koroabde as he and Rihan stand guard at the foot of Salé-salé's bed, answering Rihan's earlier question. Rihan observes that Koroabde's perspective towards Salé-salé has changed as expected; Koroabde begins covertly praising and complimenting Salé-salé to Rihan. Rihan reviews his knowledge as he summons his Predator unnoticed. Predator consumes the small copy of Salé-salé's Guardian Spirit Beast over Koroabde, and Koroabde forgets what he was talking about. Predator then turns its attention to the main Guardian Spirit Beast and leaps at it, consuming it entirely and perching itself on Salé-salé's bedpost after it swallows the Guardian Spirit Beast.

Prince Salé-salé assassinated

Rihan contacts his superiors to report the matter, and requests to be swapped with Yushohi. They exchange posts, and night on the sixth day, Salé-salé is assassinated by Yushohi's Stand by Me. The women Salé-salé surrounded himself with try to resuscitate him to no avail. Yushohi reports the success to his superiors.

Salé-salé's death is kept hidden is kept hidden from the public at large. His absence from the banquet and inability to perform are attributed to poor health. On the eighth day, Prince Tserriednich's men discuss their momentary entrancement during Melody's performance, and briefly mention that it had replaced Salé-salé's rap.

On the ninth day, Babimyna mentions in passing to Furykov that Rihan had moved from monitoring Salé-salé to Prince Tubeppa.

On the tenth day, Rihan is seen guarding Prince Tubeppa, who quickly and correctly conjectures that she is Rihan's next target, from another quick and correct conjecture that Salé-salé absence from the banquet is because of his death. While Rihan stands guard, Tubeppa passes a thumb drive of information to Heisen for him to investigate, seeking to confirm Salé-salé's cause of death and investigate the possibility that Nen was involved. Among other ideas, Tubeppa considers reaching out to the guard of her mother Duazul that had been assigned to spy on Salé-salé but dismisses the idea as it would allow Prince Camilla to find out as well. In the VVIP area where Camilla is confined, Sarahell instructs Nukuocon (formerly in charge of cursing Salé-salé) to investigate the presence of exorcists among the other princes' guards.

Abilities & Powers

Salé-salé's Guardian Spirit Beast

As a Prince of Kakin, Salé-salé holds significant political power and wealth, although not on the level of the elder princes. He was very confident in his abilities as a rapper, although his brother Tserriednich does not hold them in high regard.

Guardian Spirit Beast

Like the rest of his siblings, Salé-salé received an egg from which a Guardian Spirit Beast, a variety of Nen beast, has hatched to protect him. As a parasitic-type ability, he has no control over it. Salé-salé himself is unaware of its existence. The Guardian Spirit Beast is subjected to two rule-like instincts: it is unable to fight other Guardian Spirit Beasts as well as to directly attack the host of one.

Salé-salé's Guardian Spirit Beast
Type: Manipulation (Induction Type)
	Salé-salé's Nen beast is a Manipulator with an induction-type ability, which makes its control weak, but capable of influencing a great number of targets. It is tied to his libido, and is in existence all day long except for three unspecified situations. It intermittently releases a white smoke from its mouths that has the power to sway those who inhale it to the Eighth Prince's favor. The amount of smoke released and its effective range vary according to Salé-salé's levels of stress, but averages a radius of 7 meters. After a certain amount of smoke is inhaled, a small clone of the Guardian Spirit Beast forms above one's head. This clone also emits the same white smoke in a 2-meter radius, turning the affected person into an infected carrier that can also sway others in Salé-salé's favor. The more goodwill one harbors for the Eighth Prince, the faster they will be affected by the smoke: favorably disposed individuals will be affected in 8 hours, while someone with no loyalty to the prince whatsoever will fall prey to the Guardian Spirit Beast's powers 70 hours after the first inhalation. The smoke and clones are visible only to Nen users, much like the Guardian Spirit Beast itself. Not inhaling the smoke is sufficient to avoid a clone being formed, and the smoke can be blown away with one's breath. According to Rihan, this ability would allow Salé-salé to turn the Kakin Empire into the securest dictatorship in the world, if given time and left unchecked. However, mirroring Salé-salé's tendency to let his mother take care of his responsibilities, his Guardian Spirit Beast has no abilities that allow it to defend itself. Since it is referred to as smoke-like aura, and given its invisibility to non-users, it is possible that the Guardian Spirit Beast uses Transmutation to create the smoke.
