So, the three of them walked towards a ship named "Child of the Wind." Before entering the cabin, they passed through a bustling market.
Suddenly, a man who claimed to be a hunter appeared in front of them. He was holding a cage with a Yoshimi but very nervous exotic beast inside.
"This precious exotic creature is only sold to those with fate. You seem to be very fateful!" He smirked.
Gon sensed the unease of the exotic creature, as he had a special connection with the natural world. He stared intensely at the man and said seriously, "This kind of commercial activity is unfair to this animal."
"You, kid, really don't know your manners!" The man angrily put the cage back on the stall.
"Brother, I don't like him. His eyes reveal greed and deceit," Chi commented coldly.
"I feel the same way. That guy is definitely not a good person," Leorio added.
"Brother, we must stop him. That person is a fraud!" Chi tightly held Gon's hand.
"Yes, we can't let him continue this kind of evil behavior," a cold light flashed in Gon's eyes.
Leorio took out the short stick he carried with him, "Count me in."
Three people decided to subdue this fake hunter. Leorio first approached the fake hunter secretly, then quickly struck his ankle with his short stick, causing him to fall to the ground, and then tied him up.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you impersonate a hunter!" Leorio roared.
Gon immediately rushed over and used a grappling hook to destroy his hunting net, rescuing the trapped animals.
"These animals are not tools for you to make money!" Gon glared angrily at the fake hunter.
"What do you mean by this?" The fake hunter tried to explain.
"The meaning is simple, you shouldn't do this," Chi said coldly.
At this moment, the distant sound of a ship's horn came, signaling the departure of the ship heading to the Port of Dover.
Chi looked at the watch and said, "Um... the ship is about to leave. Can we still make it?"
Gon glanced at Leorio, who nodded and said, "Run, or we'll be too late!"
The three of them dashed towards the pier like arrows and successfully jumped onto the departing ship.
"That's great, we made it!" Gon exclaimed excitedly.
"This time we really went through a lot of twists and turns." Chi smiled.
"Hehe, this is what life is all about!" Leorio said playfully.
Leorio took out his suitcase, "Let's take a good rest next, and after an hour, we'll have another drink of the green liquid."
"But that taste is so hard to drink," said Gon reluctantly.
"I feel the same way," Chi said.
"Even if it tastes bad, you have to drink it, or you'll end up throwing up later," Leorio said.
The ship slowly left the harbor, gradually disappearing into the distant horizon of the sea.
The lights inside the cabin flickered, illuminating the crowded space.
A group of people with different expressions gathered here, and the atmosphere was filled with tension and anticipation. In this environment, a middle-aged man suddenly spoke, his gaze sweeping over Gon and Chi.
"Are you two also here to take the Hunter's test?" the middle-aged man asked, with a hint of sarcasm on his face.
"Uh, yes," Gon responded calmly.
The middle-aged man laughed heartily, "You speak better than you sing. Do you know, just on this ship, there are hundreds of people with the same dream. Every year, only a very small number are selected from hundreds of thousands of applicants."
His voice became serious, "Being a hunter is not a game. In this circle, your comrades can become your enemies at any time, and they might even try to kill you. So, young man, I advise you not to take becoming a hunter lightly."
At that moment, the middle-aged man suddenly felt his voice disappear. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
"Brother, I've managed to shut him up for now, so it should be quieter." Chi said with a smile, looking pleased.
"Well done, Chi. But we shouldn't go too far. Let's let him regain his ability to speak normally in an hour." Gon responded, with a smile on his face.
"Okay, big brother, I'll listen to you." Chi nodded, her expression full of trust and reliance.
Kitagawa Yoshimi, a manga enthusiast who is well-versed in this world, couldn't help but feel excited to use this ability for the first time.
She later learned that Chi had awakened the Nen ability in advance, and it was a Manipulator's trait. Her ability is similar to psychological suggestion, but more powerful, capable of making people unconsciously obey her will.
At the same time, Kitagawa Yoshimi also noticed the hidden power in Gon. Gon himself was unaware, but he had already mastered the technique of "Zetsu," able to perfectly conceal his aura, which is why he was able to snatch the Hisoka 44 badge later on.
Upon seeing Chi and her father "Jin" share the same Manipulator trait, Kitagawa Yoshimi couldn't help but feel excited and became even more hopeful for this sibling pair.
Leorio, who was originally walking ahead, turned around and exclaimed, "Wow, what ability is this?"
"I don't know, this is Chi's innate ability. Having the ability to control, but only the body, not the mind," Gon said.
"It's really a terrifying ability, this ability is basically at the level of a hunter, right...? You can even use this ability to make money!" Leorio said.
"It's not that simple. Besides this ability, Chi is just like a normal person in every other way," Gon said.
"Alright, let's go in first!" Chi couldn't wait to see Curarpikt.
At this time, the captain muttered to himself, "The sea is not calm." This sentence lingered in Gon's mind, unable to be dismissed.
"Leorio, can you let me drink some more of that green liquid you have?" Chi knew that a storm was coming.
"You really know how to make people dizzy." Nen shattered and Leorio still took it out and gave it to Chi.
The air on the ship was filled with a subtle tension, accompanied by the salty smell of the sea and the scent of diesel. The rocking of the ship due to the storm made most of the exam candidates uneasy.
"Why is the boat rocking so much...," a young man covered his mouth, clearly trying to restrain the urge to vomit.
"Yeah... the boat has been sailing for so long, when will we finally arrive!" A female examinee anxiously held her head, letting out a frustrated sigh.
"I feel like my head is getting heavier and heavier..." Another test-taker propped up their head with their hand, their eyes revealing unbearable pain.
"When is this going to stop spinning!" Another test-taker gripped the handrail tightly, with vomit at the corner of their mouth.
"Enough, I can't take it anymore." Then came the sound of vomiting, followed by chaos and panic.
The situation on the boat descended into chaos for a while, but only Gon, Leorio, Curarpikt, and Chi remained calm, as if they were detached from the situation.
On a constantly rocking ship, the captain and crew are facing a huge dilemma. The sky is filled with dark clouds, lightning pierces the darkness, followed by the sound of thunder. The waves are like raging beasts, towering to heights two or three times the ship's own.
"Captain, the bottom of the ship is starting to take on water!" a crew member gasped as he ran over.
"Throw those useless drunkards overboard and plug the hole!" the captain urgently ordered.
At that moment, another deafening thunderclap resounded, accompanied by a huge wave violently crashing towards the ship. With a loud "boom," the ship's hull shook violently.
The captain urgently turned the steering wheel and shouted, "Full left rudder! The ship is about to capsize, everyone hold on tight!"
The passengers inside the cabin were thrown into chaos by the sudden turn of events, and their belongings were scattered all over the place.
After a night of fierce struggle with the storm, dawn finally arrived. The sea also gradually returned to calm.
The captain lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then slowly walked down from the cockpit: "This storm is still child's play."
Another crew member also appeared quite calm: "That's right, we've been through bigger waves."
Two people walked towards the cabin while having a conversation. The captain asked, "How are the passengers doing?"
The crew member responded, "Same as previous years, almost all of them have fainted."
When they opened the hatch, the scene before them was astonishing. The passengers scattered on the ground, pale-faced, clearly all had fainted.
The captain adjusted his hat gently and sighed, "These useless fellows actually think they can become hunters, it's simply a pipe dream."
At that moment, he noticed a little boy in a green outfit walking by. The captain followed him and found the boy distributing water and some kind of herb. "Here's some water, and chewing on this herb will make you feel more comfortable," Gon said generously.
Later, Chi also walked over and asked, "Brother, are these towels enough?"
"Not enough yet. Let's go ask the crew for a few more. Many people are still feeling dizzy," Gon responded.
"Okay!" Chi immediately echoed.
The captain's gaze then turned to a young man in a blue shirt with golden hair, who was sitting there with his eyes closed, seemingly unaffected by the recent storm. There was also a man wearing glasses, who was engrossed in reading a yellow novel.
"Well, it looks like there are still a few promising candidates to look forward to this year," the captain muttered to himself.
