Summary[]
The IPA director and Steiner discuss the situation with Kakin and the Dark Continent, with the former giving him a book titled Journey to the New World which details the Five Threats. From the video message left behind by Netero, the Zodiacs learn that Beyond's previous journey brought back new threats. He had forbidden his son from going there again until after his death, and he then orders the Zodiacs to explore the continent before his son does, telling them to return with hope. Beyond meets with the Zodiacs and allows himself to be put in their custody, confident that they will accompany him to the Dark Continent.
Steiner discusses the situation with V5 officials and suggests allowing Kakin to join the organization (to become the V6) and having the Hunter Association supervise Beyond during the journey. Both sides agree to the deal, and the enormous Black Whale ship is made ready to transport up to 200,000 people. Meanwhile, Ging meets up with Beyond's team and asks Pariston to let him join. After Cheadle invites Leorio to join the Zodiacs, Mizaistom meets Kurapika and asks him to come with them to the Dark Continent (at Leorio's request). Initially hostile, Kurapika is convinced when Mizaistom tells him that the owner of a collection of Scarlet Eyes will be aboard the ship: Kakin's Fourth Prince, Tserriednich Hui Guo Rou. Ging ingratiates himself with the members of Beyond's team and tells them that the author of the east edition of Journey to the New World is still writing it: a man named Don Freecss.
After Gon contacts his father about not being able to use Nen, he returns to Whale Island and Mito overloads him with homework and assignments. Ging continues to work his way into Beyond's team, and Beyond signs the contract that puts him in the custody of the Association during the journey. Leorio and Kurapika join the Zodiacs, and at their first meeting, Kurapika believes that Beyond has allies inside the Association and even a spy among the Zodiacs. Pariston and the others attempt to get Ging to reveal his ability, but their plan fails. As numerous applicants are interviewed during the 289th Hunter Exam, Kurapika uses his Dowsing Chain while in Emperor Time to spot several spies trying to become Provisional Hunters.
First Prince Benjamin contacts his brother Tserriednich and tells him that their father has decided that whoever survives the voyage will become the next king. During a meeting of the Zodiacs, Kurapika uses the same method to determine that Saiyu is the informant, eventually learning that he is working with Pariston to break Beyond out of custody. Before boarding the Black Whale, all fourteen Princes take part in the Seed Urn Ceremony and receive a Guardian Spirit Beast that feeds off their aura. After learning that the Princes are hiring bodyguards, Kurapika enlists the help of Biscuit, Basho, Hanzo, Izunavi, and Melody to infiltrate their teams and try to obtain information on Tserriednich. Kurapika thinks that he will be meeting with Halkenburg, but Queen Oito enlists his help to protect Woble, revealing to him that the voyage will be a killing spree until one Prince is left.
