'Playing a ga?'
Law rembered that Netero had used a 'ga of ball' to tease Killua and Gon. It was called a ga, but in reality, it was more like a one-sided bullying.
Being toyed with like that wasn't exactly enjoyable.
Law had so self-awareness. He thought about it seriously and then refused: "Not interested."
Biscuit is leaving tomorrow, so he wants to fully enjoy Cookie's massage tonight and has no ti to play with Netero.
Seeing Law refuse so bluntly, Netero hooked his finger around his pale beard, seemingly at a loss for how to convince Law to play with him.
Using the Hunter License as bait? That obviously wouldn't work. He would have loved to just hand the Hunter License to Law, but Law didn't seem particularly interested in it.
Just when Netero was feeling stuck, Law suddenly pointed at Buhara and said, "If you really want to play, let Buhara accompany you."
When Buhala saw Law shifting the burden onto him, he imdiately shook his head vigorously. No way he would do that! He'd rather take a few punches from Biscuit than play ball with Netero.
"Alas, young people these days really have no consideration for the elderly."
Netero stood up and walked to the side, twisting his waist as he sighed, "I'm just an old man with brittle bones. All I wanted was to find the weakest person here to play a little ball after dinner to help with digestion. But not only was I rejected, I was even introduced to a big guy to bully this old man."
'The weakest person... Was this so kind of reverse psychology?'
Law rolled his eyes, slowly put down his chopsticks, and said seriously: "Chairman Netero, you ca here specifically for , didn't you?"
Forget about 'passing by' the 230th floor. After finishing dinner, he imdiately invited Law to play a ga. It was clear that Netero had co for him, but Law wasn't sure what Netero's motive was.
"That's right." Netero admitted very frankly.
Law rubbed his forehead and asked, "Just to get to play ball with you?"
Netero stroked his beard and said earnestly, "That's about right."
Law did not participate in last year's Hunter Exam, which left Netero disappointed but helpless.
Two days ago, he watched the fight between Law and Atomu through the live broadcast. What he thought in his heart was that he hoped Law could get the license as soon as possible. After all, talents like Law weren't, and he would feel at ease only if he could bring him into the association as soon as possible.
Most importantly, once Law beca a mber of the association, Netero could transfer him to his side. When he was bored, he'd have soone to pass the ti with. Plus, there were still two vacancies among the Zodiacs, and Law could fill one of them.
So, after watching the match, Netero suddenly had an idea and put his affairs aside. He commandeered an airship and flew to the Heavens Arena to find Law.
Whether it was sharing a al, playing a ga, or just chatting, he was fine with anything. He had already prepared a Hunter License and is ready to find any excuse to give it to Law.
When Netero becos willful, it was terrifying. He took the phrase 'doing as he pleased' to the extre. If he could abuse his authority, he wouldn't hesitate, and he didn't care about Law's background or age.
Biscuit sighed softly. She knew Netero well, 'To get Law to play ball with him, he had set aside his duties at the association. That was exactly the kind of thing Chairman would do.'
"Can I refuse again?"
Law's tone was quite sincere. Even though Netero had co specifically for him, he didn't want to be toyed with.
"Of course you can." Netero said with a smile and then calmly added: "But I can't guarantee whether your sleep tonight will be good or bad."
"That's a threat, isn't it?" Law said, feeling a headache coming on.
Netero imdiately put on an expression that said, 'What are you talking about? I don't understand'.
Biscuit watched from the side and felt that she couldn't let Netero continue to be so willful. Otherwise, how could he still be able to maintain his image.
She looked at Law and said, "Law, just play with Chairman for a bit."
"Forget it, this is the last day!" Law's eyes widened. Even if it was Biscuit, he really didn't want to listen.
Biscuit knew what Law ant and said, "I will stay one more day."
Law was very reluctant, but since Biscuit had said so, he had no choice but to agree.
Netero glanced at Biscuit, then at Law, stroked his beard and said nothing.
Ten minutes later, in the martial arts room left behind by Atomu, only Law and Netero remained.
Netero was holding a volleyball in his hand, tossing it up repeatedly, looking quite enthusiastic.
Law asked reluctantly, "What are the rules?"
"Have you never played volleyball before?" Netero stopped tossing the ball, looking surprised.
"I have." Law looked around and said, "But this isn't a volleyball court. Besides, how are we supposed to play volleyball with just two people?"
Netero suddenly understood. Holding the ball in his right hand, he raised his left hand and extended a finger, then said with a smile, "You're right. Let's make up so temporary rules, then."
"…" Law.
Netero didn't think for long. After a quick look at the room, he made a decision, "The rule is simple: make it so the other person can't receive the ball."
"Can I use Nen?" Law asked.
"Of course. Wouldn't it be boring without Nen?" Netero continued tossing the volleyball.
Law nodded silently. If they could use Nen, he could use his Domain to reduce the impact of the ball, which gave him a bit of an advantage.
"Alright, I'm serving now." Netero held the ball in his right hand and opened all the Aura Nodes in his body. Then, dense Aura covered his body and flowed unusually quietly.
"Huh?"
Seeing Netero's Aura up close, Law's expression changed.
'Was the aura flowing? It should be, but there were no visible traces of movent. If this was how it worked in combat, wouldn't it be impossible to make any judgnts based on the flow of Aura?'
'How exactly was this done?'
"Law, you better make this enjoyable for ."
Netero suddenly spoke, drawing Law's attention back.
Law curled his lips and also opened his Aura Nodes, allowing the Aura to cover his body.
At that mont, Netero infused the volleyball with Aura and tossed it into the air. He then raised his right hand and slapped the ball hard.
Bang!
With a dull sound, the volleyball instantly deford, turning into a black shadow that shot toward Law's right side like lightning.
'So fast!'
Law's eyes quickly turned to the right. At the sa ti, he took rapid steps to the right, condensed his Aura in his palm, forming a spherical domain, and grabbed the incoming ball within it.
After the volleyball flew into the Domain, its rapid spin visibly slowed down. In just a few seconds, it was controlled by Law and stopped in front of his palm.
"Hohoho." Netero watched this with interest. For the first serve, he had used less than half his strength.
After completely neutralizing the force of the ball, Law grabbed it and looked at Netero, who was fifty ters away, and said, "My turn."
He injected Aura into the volleyball, then used his Domain to keep the ball suspended half a ter in front of him. Then, he gathered the majority of his Aura into his right hand.
A dazzling light of Aura erupted from his right hand, shining like a bright lightbulb in Netero's eyes.
"A Ko? You're not holding back at all." A smile flashed across Netero's face.
Law had divided his Aura: a small portion was infused into the ball using Shu, a tiny bit kept the ball suspended, and the rest was concentrated in his right hand.
It can be said that this is Law's full-power strike.
