"If it were in the original story, during the Yorknew chapter, if Chrollo had used the poison created by Gel, Uncle Silva might not have had such an easy time, but rather it would have been an apt question to ask whether he could still continue the fight. Truly troublesome." However, Ron knew that was impossible. The Phantom Troupe and the Hunter Association had no good relations. And the Zoldyck family had many collaborations with the Hunter Association. "Even for top-tier Nen users, connections are very important." "But it seems like what I'm doing right now includes that." Ron, at the Heaven's Arena, joined TST. He became friends with Morena from the Kakin Empire. Now, he also has good relations with Wendy from Fioral and Dominica. From the Hunter Association's side, this opportunity could be used to build a connection with Gel. As for the Zoldyck family, that goes without saying, as Ron has had relationships with them from birth. Suddenly. Ron sensed a hint of danger. "En!" Ron expanded his En. A figure, moving at high speed from underground, was attacking the trio. "Watch out!" Ron quickly warned. Kaka and Wendy became alert. "Akutagawa Ryunosuke!" A figure appeared beside Ron. Akutagawa Ryunosuke's gaze was cold. "Claw!" A dark red claw swiftly stabbed towards the ground. "Squish!" Pulled out. A figure was dragged out. This was a humanoid shape, but not entirely human-like, and different from the monsters of the Taris nation. "A type of monkey?" Ron assessed the opponent. The dark-coloured claw lightly shook, throwing the monkey onto the ground, Ron looked towards Wendy and Kaka's direction. Wendy was completely fine, handling it calmly. Invisible blades flew out, hitting the monkey's vital points, killing it. But Kaka was somewhat struggling. He took out a weapon suitable for poisoning, but the monkey was agile, and for a while, Kaka's attacks could not hit. If he couldn't hit, he couldn't administer the poison. With no choice, Kaka had to use another type of poison. A range-type poison that could slow down the opponent's movements. A fragrant scent drifted. Kaka threw two bottles to Ron and Wendy. "Ron, Wendy, inside are antidotes." "If you smell the fragrance and are affected, you can use this." Ron caught them but didn't use them. This level of poison had no effect on Ron, it was no different than breathing regular air to him. And Wendy, likewise, didn't use it. Wendy used her Nen to form a faint shield of wind around herself, isolating herself from the outside world, and keeping the poison away from her. Ron looked towards Kaka's direction and gave Akutagawa Ryunosuke an order. Two red claws appeared behind Akutagawa Ryunosuke. One by Ron's side. One by Kaka's side. "Squish!" A strike pierced through the neck of the monkey near Kaka, throwing its body onto the ground. More monkeys emerged, but none posed a threat to the trio. Kaka breathed a sigh of relief. Then he looked towards Ron. "Thank you." At that moment, Kaka seriously reevaluated Ron and Wendy again. He knew the backgrounds of the two. But, given Ron and Wendy's age, plus during this operation in Taris nation, they didn't follow Dominica but waited for Gel's squad. Thus Kaka thought, Ron and Wendy wouldn't be very strong. The two coming to Taris nation were likely more for "gold plating." (t/n Basically an easy way for them to get experience, without actually doing anything) When Gel instructed Ron, Wendy, and Kaka to move together. Kaka couldn't help feeling that he was the leader of this group, responsible for the safety of Ron and Wendy, but he hadn't expected the situation to be completely different. When the attacker suddenly appeared, it wasn't Kaka who first noticed. It was Ron who first warned. And when all three were attacked, Ron was the most composed, effortlessly killing the attacker. Wendy also performed very well. He, on the other hand, performed the worst, still needing Ron's support. This made Kaka subconsciously feel somewhat ashamed. His age was indeed several years older than Ron and Wendy's, and even after preparing under Gel's help before the operation, his performance was not as expected. "To have such strength at such an age is truly amazing," Kaka was certain. It wasn't that he was too weak. As one of the twelve Zoldyac of the Hunter Association, a disciple of Gel of the Serpent, Kaka had interacted and competed with many same-age, same-rank Nen users. Like Gel, he followed the poison-type school. This school focuses two-thirds on the study of poison and one-third on combat. However, he wasn't the type that was poor at combat. Among his peers, his combat strength was actually quite good. Yet, Ron and Wendy performed even better. Much better. "Is this the talent of the Fioral royal family and the members of the Zoldyck family?" Kaka recalled his understanding of these two places. One is a member of the V5. The other is the world's number one assassin family. The strength of the Hunter Association is indeed good. But these two forces are certainly not inferior. In terms of individual strength, no one in the Fioral royal family might be a match for Netero. But in overall power, the Fioral royal family's strength is definitely above the Hunter Association. One reason is their unity. Many Nen users of the Fioral royal family are allies. Whereas the Hunter Association is a very loose organization. Passing the Hunter Exam makes one a hunter, but this does not mean loyalty to Netero. Many just use it as a platform for information. For example, Shalnark from the Phantom Troupe. And Hisoka, Illumi, etc. While the Zoldyck family, in terms of power, is not considered a large force, the number of people who have died at their hands undeniably proves the family's strength. "You're welcome." The three of them continued forward. Kaka, following Gel's instructions, spread the poison he had prepared in advance. Ron and Wendy, one in front and one behind, guarded Kaka's safety. Kaka felt strange, being protected by two people so much younger than himself. But after seeing Ron and Wendy's strength, Kaka couldn't say much about the arrangement. "It's really humbling." Ron observed the surroundings while looking at the crystal ball in front of him. After entering the Taris nation, the rate at which the crystal ball absorbed properties had significantly increased. Before entering the Taris nation, the progress was at twenty-six per cent. Now, it had reached thirty per cent, and it hadn't stopped. Based on Ron's estimates, after the matter with Kel Prison was over, the progress of his Observer's Extreme Intent could reach around thirty-five per cent. "That would be a third of the way done." Ron smiled, his eyes full of anticipation. He was looking forward to the appearance of the new Nen beast. To solidify his foundation and enhance his body's strength, Ron had stopped creating Nen beasts temporarily after acquiring his fourth one and spent a long time at Heaven's Arena. ------------------------ Three days later, the area around Kel Prison was cleared. The team regrouped. Gel took out the map. "Next destination, Korolla Canyon." As they travelled, Gel said, "Dealing with Korolla Canyon may not go as smoothly as the Prison." "Here, it's because we obtained information in advance and made a lot of preparations." "The situation in Korolla Canyon is very complex, and I initially estimate that we will need about a month to handle it." Gel looked at Ron and Wendy.
