Gourmet Hunter (HxH Fanfic)

When he came across this boy yesterday, Law only took a quick glance and didn't look at him carefully. But now that he's standing in front of him, Law could see everything clearly.

He was a young boy, about the same age as Chrollo, maybe a year or two older.

The boy had messy red short hair, pale skin, a sharp nose, and an exaggerated grin on his lips. His narrow, almond-shaped eyes carried a faint trace of mischief and menace when they squinted.

At this moment, he wore a simple white short-sleeved shirt and loose white pants.

Law stared at the red-haired boy blocking the doorway and felt that his face was familiar. He suppressed his doubts and asked calmly, "Are you following me?"

Hearing this, the boy stretched out his slender index finger, wagged it from side to side, and said with a smile in a tone that seemed to be deliberately suppressed: "Nope, not at all~ I just happened to be nearby, and I then I happened to see someone robbing a place, so I thought, hey, why not claim a share for myself?"

The overly deliberate tone made it obvious he was lying.

Law adjusted the strap of his shoulder bag and replied flatly, "I don't believe you."

"Believe it or not, it doesn't matter." The boy said nonchalantly. Leaning against the door, he pointed his index finger at Law's shoulder bag and asked curiously, "Was the ability to remove the safe's door just now your Nen Ability?"

Hearing the boy's words, Law's eyes narrowed slightly. From this sentence, he could judge that this person must have been hiding in the dark and watched the whole thing from beginning to end, and he himself hadn't noticed at all. More importantly, the other party was also a Nen User.

'Where did this person come from? Didn't we just meet him by chance yesterday? What is his purpose?'

At this time, Law had not yet recognized that this youth was the powerful Hisoka in the original work. The reason is that Hisoka's wildly standing hair in the original work was too iconic, while the youth in front of him only had short, messy hair.

Seeing Law's silence, Hisoka smiled and said, "Don't you want to answer?"

Law shrugged and said, "Do I know you that well?"

"Good point. I haven't introduced myself yet."

Hisoka took a step forward, spread his hands, and said, "My name is Sokahi, what's yours?"

'Sokahi...?'

Hearing this name, Law was stunned, and he immediately connected the Hisoka in the original work with the red-haired boy in front of him.

'Thinking about it this way, they really look alike, except for the hairstyle.'

'But Sokahi? What kind of nonsense was that?'

"Oh, my name is Gon."

Finally recognizing Hisoka and seeing that he was talking nonsense, Law countered the lie with one of his own.

"Gon, huh?"

Hisoka didn't notice anything unusual. He narrowed his eyes and said seriously, "Look, we all know each other's names now."

"And?" Law frowned slightly, staying on high alert.

'In the original work, Hisoka is even more dangerous than Chrollo. He constantly judged people through his twisted perspective, deciding whether they were worthy of being… killed!'

'In the Hunter Exam at the beginning of the plot, this guy took advantage of the exam to indiscriminately slaughter the candidates, under the pretext of screening out qualified candidates.'

"I want to know… what your Nen ability is." As he said this, there was a hint of coldness in Hisoka's eyes.

Law glanced at the space between Hisoka and the door and said calmly, "Well, since you're so curious, it doesn't hurt to tell you."

"Oh?" Hisoka was a little surprised.

"The omnipotent magician's hand, this is my Nen Ability." Law declared with an utterly serious expression.

"Omnipotent…?" Hisoka's narrowed eyes slowly opened.

Law nodded and said solemnly: "That's right, the omnipotent magician's hand. Any object that I touch will transform according to my will. For example, just now, I wanted to remove the front panel of the safe. All it took was one touch, and duang! It came right off. And...!"

Law's expression suddenly became serious.

"And...?" Hisoka's interest was piqued and he leaned in slightly.

Law took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I can also turn the things I touch into... bunnies or flowers!"

Hearing what Law said, Hisoka was stunned.

At this moment, when Hisoka was stunned, Law gathered his Aura under his feet and lunged forward like a cheetah, aiming straight at Hisoka.

Seeing this, Hisoka's eyes narrowed again, and he moved his right hand and pulled it inwards violently.

Following Hisoka's inexplicable movement, Law suddenly veered off course mid-charge, as if yanked by an invisible force. He lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground.

"Lying isn't a good habit, you know."

Hisoka smiled and stretched out his index finger. A pink Aura Thread extended from his index finger and firmly attached to Law's shoulder bag.

This was his Nen Ability. When he was asking about Law's Nen Ability just now, he had actually attached his Nen Ability on Law's shoulder bag. The reason he didn't stick it on Law was because he was worried about being discovered.

As for his Nen Mastery, he has only just started, and is not yet able to stick his Nen Ability to the target without being discovered.

"If you leave half the money, I might just let this slide."

Hisoka offered with a disarming smile, crouching to look at Law, who lay sprawled a meter or so away. The statement was, of course, another lie.

"I don't believe you." Law replied after a moment of silence. He slowly raised his head and revealed a sudden smile.

"Hmm?" There was a flash of surprise in Hisoka's eyes.

At this time, Law pressed his right hand to the ground, springing to his feet with agility. His left hand brushed across the strap of his shoulder bag as he lashed out with a kick aimed at Hisoka's face.

Hisoka calmly wanted to repeat his earlier tactic. With a pull on the Aura Thread connected to Law's shoulder bag, he intended to throw him off balance once again.

However, when he pulled it, he was surprised to find that the Aura Thread stuck to Law's shoulder bag had actually retracted.

'Impossible!'

As this word flashed through Hisoka's mind, Law's Aura-enhanced kick landed squarely on his cheek.

The instep of his shoe came into close contact with Hisoka's cheek, and the strong force almost deformed Hisoka's fair face. Hisoka was sent flying sideways, crashing hard against the wall before sliding to the floor.

Bungee Gum.

This is Hisoka's Nen Ability, which can transform his Aura into threads with the stickiness of chewing gum and the elasticity of rubber.

After he developed this Nen Ability, he conducted many experiments and found that within a distance of ten meters, Bungee Gum would never be broken, so he was extremely surprised by the sudden break just now, which led to Law kicking him in the cheek.

Regarding this ability, after Law was inexplicably pulled down in his first attack, he immediately realized that Hisoka had stuck his Bungee Gum to a certain part of his body.

When he fell to the ground, Law judged from the pulling force that the Bungee Gum was stuck to the shoulder bag.

So, when he stood up to launch another attack, Law used God Hand to cut off the Bungee Gum that was stuck to the shoulder bag, and successfully knocked down Hisoka.

This was Law's advantage: he knew the details of Hisoka's Nen Ability. However, using God Hand to cut off the Bungee Gum is a risky act, but it is also the only choice. Fortunately, it succeeded.

After landing, Law steadied himself and tugged at his shoulder bag that had slipped off. Turning his head slightly, he looked at Hisoka, who now slumped against the wall with his head lowered, and smiled, "Are you surprised?"

Hisoka raised his head slowly. His right cheek was swollen, but it did not affect his intrigued smile. He asked, "How did you do it?"

"Didn't I tell you already?"

Law stretched out his right hand towards Hisoka and said seriously: "The omnipotent magician's hand!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Law ran away cleanly.

Hisoka stared at the open doorway. Ignoring the pain on his cheek, his grin stretched impossibly wide, and he let out a low, chilling laugh.

"Gon... huh?"

Hint 5: If the target is an inanimate object, it will not occupy the pages of the book while the ability is taking effect. This also applies to Nen-created objects, transformations, and even Nen Beasts.

Hint 6: If the user has an overwhelmingly strong subjective belief that a living being is non-living, the ability may activate without consuming a page. However, the success rate for such attempts is nearly zero.
