Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 470 The Second Largest Base and the Situation of the Six Continents
Although Illumi is nominally a professional hunter, in fact he does not obey the orders of the Hunter Association at all.

He was standing at the entrance of the coastal fortress to help because Germain asked him to do so.

Ever since Germain left, no one could command him, and no one dared to approach him.

However, President Netero soon found a way to get Ilmi motivated - that was to give him money.

For the sake of money and the fact that President Netero is a long-time friend of the Zoldyck family, Illumi finally started working.

Today, he came here with Kurapika and Melody to wipe out a gang of bandits, which was another bounty mission he accepted.

After watching Kurapika interrogate the bandit gang, Illumi applauded.

Afterwards, Illumi saw Kurapika looking at him with a puzzled look, and turned to look at Melody, who also had a surprised expression, so she stopped clapping.

Shouldn't we applaud at this time? Ilmi didn't quite understand the normal people's thinking.

"Hmm. How should I put it?" Ilmi said expressionlessly, "I wanted to say something praising, like you are worthy of being 'German's disciple' or something like that."

"Should I say 'thank you'?" Kurapika was a little confused about Illumi's confusing behavior.

"You're welcome." Ilmi took it as a genuine thank you, "German chose you for a reason... Your talent is probably a little bit worse than my brother's."

Illumi made a hand gesture to Kurapika with a small distance between his thumb and index finger.

Kurapika looked towards Melody, trying to get some hints from her.

However, even though he could hear the melody of the heartbeat, he was unable to analyze Ilmi's thoughts and could only shake his head helplessly.

Kurapika couldn't help but think of what President Netero said when he asked him to team up with Illumi.

"Listen, Ilmi is a strange person. He basically acts in the cold style of a professional killer, and only occasionally shows his human side."

"He only shows a relatively special attitude when facing members of the Zoldyck family and Germain."

"And you, Kurapika, happen to be a friend of his most valued brother, Killua, and a disciple of Germain. There is no better teammate for him than you."

"Of course, since both of you are the type of people who don't talk much, I will put someone who can act as a lubricant into your team..."

"Ah, just Melody, you two make a good team, don't you?"

Later, this strange team of theirs was formed, and they successfully completed the various tasks assigned by the Hunter Association.

Wiping out bandit gangs, annihilating small groups of Chimera Ants, and escorting the transportation of supplies between the two major strongholds are things they do frequently and they have become extremely skilled at it.

Kurapika didn't want to stand here and have an awkward chat with Illumi, so he looked up at the sky, judged that it was almost noon, and urged them to hurry up.

"Let's return quickly and send these people to the Coast Fortress as soon as possible."

Of course, there was no reason for Ilmi and Melody to refuse, so they drove the group of captured bandits towards the northwest.

When the sun was at its hottest, they escorted the captives to the coast, which was also the second largest stronghold besides the coastal fortress.

After months of repairs, the wreckage of the BW1 stranded on the shore became another residence for the survivors of the New World.

Kurapika and his companions will rest here for a while before heading to the coastal fortress.

The armed soldiers conducted necessary questioning, body searches and inspections on them before allowing them to enter the BW1 wreckage site.

At present, the number of survivors in the New World that is known is more than 90,000. The rest have either died, disappeared, or refused to join the stronghold and are scattered outside.

Even so, the coastal fortress obviously could not accommodate the food, drink, defecation and urination of more than 1 people, and it was indeed very dangerous to stuff so many people into a "can". Therefore, the wreckage of BW was developed as the second largest stronghold.

The Hunter Association therefore set up a branch and stationed it here.

The core members of the Hunter Association branch here are mainly Potaubai, Sachi, Ge'er, Ginta, Buhara, Nob, Pom, Nakulu, Xiutuo and other members.

Among them, "Chen Long" Potobai is the most powerful person in the Hunter Association branch at the BW1 wreckage base, and has the right to make independent decisions in emergency situations.

In addition to managing the survivors living here, the Hunter Association branch must also keep an eye on the situation at sea.

In October, Kate and Izenabi boarded a ship formed by a dozen Nen users and set off for the refueling island to deliver information to the six continents.

In Pom's "Lonely Deep Sea Fish", two of the recording objects were replaced with Kate and Izenabi, so that their progress can be understood at all times.

What is known is that Kate and Izenabi returned to the Six Continents in January of this year, and quickly contacted the V1 member countries to inform them of the situation in the New Continent.

V6 was extremely shocked by what happened in the New World, especially one of them, the Kajin Empire.

If all their royal family members are really dead as Kate and Izenabi said, then what will be the future of the Kajin Empire?

No one knows the exact answer.

Although the representatives of the Kajin Empire strongly requested that the annihilation of the Kajin royal family be kept confidential, everything had to wait until the special commissioner went to the New World to confirm the situation.

However, the other V6 member states, who had ulterior motives, quietly and tacitly disclosed the matter.

Regardless of whether it is true or false, let's take advantage of the opportunity to plunder the interests of the Kajin Empire first.

The news of the death of the king and princes of the Kakin royal family quickly spread throughout the six continents, causing an uproar.

The most shocked was of course the Kakin Empire, where all kinds of monsters and demons jumped out with the secret support of the other V6 member states.

The illegitimate children of Nasby and the prince appeared one after another, causing chaos in the Kakin Empire.

The overwhelmed Kajin Empire Parliament, while publicly denying the authenticity of the annihilation of the Kajin royal bloodline, took over all military and political affairs of the Kajin Empire and suppressed rebellions and separatists.

In addition, the news that the thirteen suspected gang leaders - the "Ten Old Men" and the "Three Leaders of the Kakin Gang" - all died in the New World also caused a round of turbulent reshuffle in the dark world.

However, no matter how the international situation changes, V6 finally decided through more than a dozen meetings in February to send reinforcements to take over the order of the New World.

This reinforcement fleet is expected to arrive in the New World in April, and the port of call will of course be the site of the BW4 wreckage.

Potuobai and others had already made sufficient reception preparations in advance, and they did need more support from members and materials from the six continents.

After Kurapika's team entered the base, they first handed over the prisoners to the soldiers here and temporarily locked them up in the cells here, and then went to see Potobai to explain the situation.

Potobai is a tall and strong man with two strange buns on his head and two upturned mustaches under his nose.

He listened carefully to Kurapika's report.

Kurapika also took the opportunity to look at this core member of the Hunter Association branch.

It is said that he is the member of the Twelve Branches whose strength is closest to that of President Netero, aside from Germain and King.

Although Potobai was not appointed as vice president by President Netero, his prestige in the Hunter Association is still high due to his steadiness.

That's why Netero handed over the management of the second largest base to Potobai.
