Between Two Worlds: Nen and Haki Chapter 56 56 Hunting and Steel 1

Faced with all these prospects, Cricket simply couldn't refuse.

Thus, the Riding the Wind and Waves docked temporarily at Mock Town for refitting.

Everyone on board established new training grounds within the town.

As for Zane,

he had plenty to keep him busy.

The Hunter World.

"You want to beco a Cri Hunter?" nchi asked in surprise.

Zane said righteously, "That's right. Eliminating evil is our inescapable duty!"

For Zane, he had been wandering the Pirate World for quite so ti, but for nchi, it was only the second day after their celebration.

nchi never expected that right after finishing breakfast, Zane would suddenly suggest becoming a Cri Hunter.

She rolled her eyes at Zane's high-and-mighty proclamation.

Though her experience wasn't incredibly vast, she wasn't so naive little girl.

In her experience, whenever soone spoke with such intense morality, there was usually sothing dirty hidden behind it.

"Fine, being a Cri Hunter is pretty good too," nchi sighed.

A Cri Hunter it is, then.

While it wasn't the Gourt Hunter path she had hoped for him, she still supported Zane's desire to beco a Cri Hunter.

Even if there was so ulterior motive, eliminating evil was never a bad thing.

nchi was a Gourt Hunter, but that didn't an she was entirely unfamiliar with other branches of the profession.

Such as intelligence gathering.

"If you want to hunt criminals, you can use your Hunter License permissions to buy information on the Hunter Association's internal network. The prices are generally high, but at least the authenticity of the intel is guaranteed," nchi recomnded.

Zane nodded slightly. "I had that in mind. After all, finding them is more of a hassle than actually defeating them."

His intention to beco a Cri Hunter certainly wasn't out of a sense of justice.

His plan for this trip to the Hunter World was clear: hunt Nen users to increase his strength so he could face Doflamingo with greater confidence.

Of course, he wasn't a natural-born serial killer. Therefore, aside from his enemies, the best targets were heinous Nen-using criminals.

He then engaged in active discussion with nchi, making full preparations for his upcoming career as a Cri Hunter.

Three days later.

Zane bid farewell to nchi and set out on his hunt.

Ti passed quickly.

A month slipped by in silence.

"Halt! This is private property. Leave imdiately!"

In front of an old castle, a guard watching the gate shouted harshly at the figure strolling toward him.

Thump!

Without stopping his pace.

The newcor gave only a single glance, and the two shouting guards rolled their eyes and collapsed to the ground.

"Not good! Soone's breaking in!"

"Quick, quick! We have a trespasser!"

"Who has the guts to co here and cause trouble?"

"..."

Surveillance caras were installed at the gate.

The guards' collapse was noticed by those inside the castle imdiately.

Soon, before Zane could even get deep into the castle, a large group of ard guards had completely surrounded him.

They leveled their rifles and aid.

Surrounded, Zane finally ca to a halt.

'Unwilling to show your face?'

Scanning the nurous guards and finding no sign of his target, Zane's gaze hardened as he released his Malice once more.

BOOM!!!

The surging Malice was like a giant wave. Wherever it passed, the seemingly well-trained guards collapsed like mown wheat, falling in rows.

The ground beneath his feet vibrated.

Zane sensed the anomaly beneath him with sharp precision and leaped backward without hesitation.

CRASH!!!

A high-speed rotating drill burst from the ground where Zane had been standing, soaring a dozen ters into the air and kicking up clouds of dirt and howling gusts of wind.

Zane stared at the drill.

He saw it stop spinning in mid-air and transform into a tall, muscular tal man.

Whoosh!

The tal man plumted toward the ground, but in the process, his arms transford into two extending chains that lashed out violently at Zane.

BOOM!!!

The ground shook.

The two arm-thick chains whipped deep trenches into the earth.

However, Zane was nowhere to be seen in the ruts.

Way of the Soldier: Killing Fist - Swift as the Wind!

Having vanished from the chain's path, Zane appeared instantly at the spot where the tallic man was falling.

[KEN] and [RYU].

Concentrating 70% of his Nen aura into his right fist, Zane slamd it into the back of the tal man who had no ti to react.

Amidst a thunderous explosion, a violent shockwave erupted.

The tal man was instantly sent flying like a cannonball, crashing straight through and demolishing the guardhouse at the castle entrance.

Thump!

As the montum faded, the tal man skidded across the ground. His heavy body and residual inertia plowed a long furrow into the earth.

"Damn it!!"

His tallic body clearly possessed formidable defense.

Even after being blasted away by Zane's punch, the tal man hadn't suffered significant damage.

He climbed out of the furrow in shock and anger, looking up to find Zane.

Swish!

Zane appeared above the tal man, his right leg raised high like a battle-axe before hacking down fiercely.

BOOM!!!

Amidst the roar and flying soil, the tal man's head was slamd violently back into the earth.

As if hit by a bomb, the ground beneath the tal man shattered and collapsed instantly, forming a massive crater.

Using the montum to land,

Zane settled gracefully at the edge of the crater.

"Kenneth, nicknad the Iron Killer. Once slaughtered hundreds of miners to seize a tal mine, followed by a string of other cris. Classified as an A-Rank criminal by the V5."

Looking down at the tal man in the crater, Zane practicedly pulled a phone from his pocket, opened the cara, and began recording.

"So you're a Hunter?" Kenneth growled as he scrambled out of the soil, looking up at Zane with murderous intent.

[BODY OF STEEL]

He could turn his body into tal and freely change its shape; furthermore, he could increase the strength of his tallization by absorbing tal ores.

That Kenneth could beco an A-Rank criminal showed that besides having hands stained with blood, he had already absorbed a vast amount of tal ore.

Even after suffering two heavy blows from Zane, no obvious injuries could be seen on his body.

Even the indentations from the attacks were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In this short month, the hardworking Zane had already eliminated six or seven Nen-using criminals.

But compared to the previous criminals, the Kenneth before him was undoubtedly the strongest.

"Correct. And I should congratulate you on being the first A-Rank criminal I've taken down." Having finished recording, Zane put his phone away and flashed a smile.

[LET'S DUEL!]

The initial probing was over; now the formal hunt began.

Swish!

The mont [LET'S DUEL!] activated, both Zane and Kenneth were pulled into the Equality Space.
