September 6th: Part 1 (9
Synopsis[]
As Kurapika succumbs to a fever, Leorio notes that it hasn't gone down at all even though a day has already passed. Zepile says that Kurapika should rest, while Melody mentions that her flute did not work on him, so Kurapika's fever is not due to simple fatigue.
Gon and Killua discussing Kurapika and the Spiders
Meanwhile, Killua and Gon are seen sitting in a room. Gon says that he hopes Kurapika's fever doesn't go down because if the auction passes while Kurapika is asleep, Kurapika will not have to face the Phantom Troupe. Gon adds that Kurapika should not try to fight the Spiders anymore. Killua says that if Kurapika really wanted to kill the Spiders, he would have done it already, but Gon replies that Kurapika would not do that. They then discuss Kurapika's ability. Gon thinks Kurapika would have picked a different ability if he wanted revenge because of the ability's indirect approach. Killua reasons that Kurapika's ability is crafted solely for revenge because he has many targets and his approach helps get information. They then agree that Kurapika should stay still for a while because the Spiders will be on the hunt for him.
Killua checks online to see if there is a bounty on their heads, but finds nothing. Gon says that they should be extra careful on the way to the auction. Then Killua inquires about Gon's idea. Gon reassures Killua that it's a good plan with a 50-50 chance. Nevertheless, Killua insists that Gon tells him the plan, so Gon finally divulges it. After listening, Killua commends the idea and says that they will probably have an 80% chance of success.
Later that night, Killua, Gon, and Zepile attend the auction. They see Battera, a multi-billionaire, entering the venue, and being interviewed. Battera says that the reason for collecting the Greed Island game is love.
Gon and Killua running from Phinks and Feitan
As Gon, Killua, and Zepile enter the hall and go to their seats, they encounter Phinks and Feitan, and make a run for it. The two Spiders immediately block their path, with Feitan assuring the two that they mean no harm. Phinks informs them that they have no reason to pursue the "Chain Dude." He explains that since Chrollo was stabbed with a Nen sword, killing the "Chain Dude" will lead to the "Chain Dude"'s Nen, which stemmed from hatred, becoming stronger after death. The Nen will seek out the object of hatred, and since the Nen has already cursed Chrollo, he is vulnerable and may even be killed. Then Phinks looks at Feitan and understands that they should not say anything about Nen exorcism and the fact that Chrollo might already be looking for an exorcist at the moment. He adds that the other Spiders have gone back to their home.
Gon asks about Pakunoda, and Phinks candidly says that she's dead, recalling her memories with Gon and Killua. He then leaves with Feitan while telling Gon and Killua that Pakunoda was thankful to them. Inside the auditorium, the auctioneer announces that the auction is open and that bidding will begin.
