In HxH with Doraemon Pocket

Chapter 360 - 361

TN: Life is boring without the goat Hisoka hope the author bring him back.

As time slowly passed, and everyone's emotions reached a peak of excitement, the moment finally arrived for the opening ceremony of the Martial Arts Tournament.

Under the spotlight and amidst the cheers, the familiar figure of Chairman Netero appeared once again on the big screen, beginning his routine pre-match motivational speech. Meanwhile, in a corner of the audience area of the tournament...

"Netero, huh?"

Several cloaked figures, standing out conspicuously, the same ones who had knocked out Leorio outside, stood there, eyes fixed unblinkingly on the person on the screen. The leader of the group spoke those four words deliberately, as if biting down with all his might, a heaviness that even his companions could feel.

Quickly, under Netero's unconventional style, his speech came to an end. After all, the main stage was meant for the contestants to shine; he wouldn't steal their thunder. Moreover, he knew well that the fans weren't there to see him.

He remembered how he used to hate ads and speeches during matches in his younger days. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," he thought, not wanting to become what he once despised.

Netero's unorthodox speech was nothing new to the crowd. Even the Sky Arena was well-prepared for it. Following this, under the host's forced transition, the tournament's mascot performance began, whimsically named as the fairies' wishes.

"The fairies' wishes, huh?"

A light laugh came from the tall figure on the far right of the cloaks, who then turned to the shorter figure in the middle. "Rengoku, you're strong."

The short figure remained silent for a while, knowing full well the outcome to come, and slowly nodded. As she nodded, her hood tilted back slightly, revealing a youthful and delicate face.

"See you in Nirvana?"

The tall figure, upon seeing this, smiled softly and spoke the most resolute words in the gentlest tone. "Move out!"

With the leader's command, the cloaked figures vanished into the crowd instantly.

"Let's enjoy ourselves, shall we?"

Coincidentally, just as they moved, Gon and Killua, feeling nostalgic due to Netero's presence, remembered their past tests and left the audience area together, planning to challenge Netero once more. They wanted to show off what they'd learned about Nen and play the ball game without losing so easily.

During the mascot performance...

"When do we start moving?"

In a luxurious room, Uvogin was there, cracking his knuckles eagerly.

"Wait a bit longer," Morin replied with a light chuckle, glancing at the broadcast on the TV screen. "the right moment will soon present itself."

Jed, too, is about to take action, isn't he? The waiting room was also about to host the first match.

"Finally, it's my turn!"

With a hint of excitement and nervousness still on his face, Zushi took a deep breath, suppressing his inner turmoil. He was the first contestant, facing a giant named Han Jiru, who was known for toppling countless wrestlers and referees. His appearance, aside from his skin color and beard, bore a striking resemblance to the young Green Pepper of the Cone.

"As long as I can win one match, it's a victory!"

Zushi stepped out of the waiting room. The contestants there made no move, merely watching his departing figure indifferently. To them, every other contestant was an enemy!

"Squeak."

Shortly after Zushi left, the sound of the iron door opening echoed. All the contestants turned their gaze in unison.

"So, this is the contestants' room? Looks like I found the right place."

A figure in a black cloak appeared before everyone, letting out a light laugh. It was a laugh of utter disdain!

"This guy..."

All the contestants were momentarily stunned, then looked at the cloaked figure with caution or seriousness. When this person opened the door, their 'En' had failed to detect his presence!

"Shall we begin?"

The cloaked figure took out a phone and spoke, clearly not taking the group seriously.

"Whoosh!"

---

After finishing his words, his figure suddenly vanished from the dilated pupils of all the contestants, followed by the sounds of bodies clashing and the thuds of people hitting the ground.

As the cloaked man took action, all the iron doors suddenly descended one by one, instantly covering the viewing windows and balconies.

"Hmm? What's going on?" Uvogin, who was preparing for warm-up exercises, paused in surprise.

"Could it be that the Sky Arena discovered our plans and took preemptive action?"

"Who would describe their own actions as plotting something nefarious?!" Nobunaga, having already gripped his sword hilt upon sensing the disturbance, shot a glare at Uvogin. "Where did you even learn those words? Don't speak nonsense if you don't understand."

"However, if they detected our intentions and wanted to act against us, they wouldn't have gone to such lengths as to seal off the entire Sky Arena," Machi observed, glancing around.

After confirming the situation, she turned to Morin, "Is this the opportunity you were talking about?"

"Naturally," Morin smiled, "We're not the only ones seeking revenge."

"What better venue for revenge than a Martial Arts Tournament?" This was a plan targeting Netero, and Jed and his group had already begun their actions. The current situation was caused by an ally with a hacker-like ability called [Mechanical Devourer]. Its effect was to control all the building's mechanical systems, sealing off all exits to trap everyone inside.

"I see," Machi nodded thoughtfully, then a slight smirk appeared on her lips. First, it was their group, and now these unknown avengers. It seemed this Martial Arts Tournament at the Sky Arena was destined not to proceed. Considering her bets...

Meanwhile, Uvogin, unable to contain himself, raised his fist. "I don't care if there are others looking for trouble," he grinned, the Nen in his fist surging rapidly. "I'm planning to cause a big ruckus!"

"Super Destruction Fist!!"

Uvogin's Nen ability, a right straight punch infused with tremendous Nen!

"Boom!"

With terrifying Nen waves, Uvogin's fist slammed into the iron wall outside the window!

"Crunch! Thud!"

With a dull sound, the iron wall, at the point Morin had focused on, was effortlessly pierced as if it were made of tofu. The entire iron wall, uncontrollably, flew out from its frame, crashing to the ground.

"Now there's a path to go through, right?"

Gazing at the brightly lit night outside, Uvogin shook his hand and laughed, leaping through the opening.

"Hey, Uvogin!!"

Nobunaga, wearing wooden clogs, hurriedly followed him.

"Are they planning to climb up from the balcony?" Machi eyed them with a look of disdain.

"Went too hastily?" Morin shook his head, suddenly producing a circle in his hand.

Item: [Penetration Ring] (also known as the Passage Ring, Transit Ring, etc.)

Effect: By placing it on a wall, a person can pass through walls easily, like a ghost, emerging on the other side or even on the ground. It can traverse straight paths and even follow the wall's shape to exit elsewhere.

The Penetration Ring is a frequently appearing tool from "Doraemon," ranking seventh among tools in terms of appearances. Shaped like a golden ring, when placed on a wall, it allows the user to pass through.

It's a commonly used tool for escaping danger in adventures, appearing not only in short stories but also in various movie versions. There's no better tool for passage than this.

"Those two would never make it up there," Machi remarked confidently, glancing at Morin's tool and then at the opening, crossing her arms as she watched the large hole with Morin.

Ten seconds later...

"Hahaha, haha."

Uvogin awkwardly laughed as he climbed back through the hole he had made, retreating the same way he had entered. Following him was an exasperated Nobunaga, his little mustache twitching.

Uvogin and Nobunaga's strength was undeniable, but the choice of route had nothing to do with their power. Moreover, outside was a balcony, and to proceed further, there were only two options: up or down. Unless they grew wings, they could only return the way they came, just as they were doing now.
