Summary

The game of dodgeball continues, and both sides are quickly whittled down to a few members. Gon unleashes his new ability against Razor to take the offensive, surprising competitors on both sides with the tremendous amount of aura he can produce. With the help of both Killua and Hisoka, Gon manages to defeat Razor and his 14 Devils. Before Gon leaves, Razor tells him about his relationship with Ging, revealing that while his father isn't on Greed Island and he doesn't know where he is, he hopes that Gon is able to find him. Gon and his team eventually obtain the rare "Plot of Beach" card and the potential to make copies.

Aware of the situation, Genthru threatens the lives of Tsezguerra and Gon's team unless they concede. Tsezguerra decides to stave off the Bombers for three weeks to give Gon and Killua time to recover. Under Biscuit's tutelage, the two further train their Nen in order to fight Genthru and his comrades. Meanwhile, Hisoka regroups with the Phantom Troupe after Abengane is spotted. Kalluto, Killua's younger brother, is revealed to have joined the Troupe.

As Tsezguerra is pursued by the Bombers, his team ends up leaving the game, and in Battera's mansion, they are told that the reward for completing Greed Island has been canceled; this, therefore, ends all the contracts of the Greed Island players. Now that Gon and his friends are the final contenders in Greed Island, Genthru, Sub, and Bara begin their attack on his team.
