Harry's POV:
After I woke up from sleep, there seems to be the announcement with the successful capture of half the phantom troupe and their intended execution date a week from now live. It was even reported that a certified 3 star apprehended and help apprehend said group with a powerful ability. This lead to the Hunter Association gaining support from the underground world as well as the increase mystery of the identity of the mysterious 3 star hunter as said 3 star rank are least than fifty who were given such honor and twenty of those fifty are the only ones alive.
Time skip, Day of execution.
Killua was given the honor of ending the Ryodan's life following the mysterious 3 star hunter's only request.
The rest of the Phantom Troupe did a plan to rescue but the advance warning from the mysterious 3 star hunter came a big of help as the execution site was heavily fortified with strong men users.
The execution of the members proceeded very well, although some members of the Phantom Troupe managed to rammed their way in, Kurapica proved to be tenacious and he managed to slay almost all the members with the help of other well known Hunters.
Chrollo, the leader of the phantom troupe was in a seperate battle with Hisoka as said Joker too his chance and separated him from the group.
The battle lasted between a full two hours between two veteran warriors.
Hisoka managed to win but he sustained a fatal injury. With his dying moment he decided to call me which was weird. With my very high instant delivery level I am now able to send people or myself to the location of anyone I have a name or a picture of.
Luck was on Hisoka's side today as I was able to teleport to his side and I managed to use my "Angels Purification skill' on him at the nick of time saving his life, and making a full recovery. I left a note there and teleported back to my apartment.
Hisoka was confused when he woke up feeling fine, there was a note.
"It's boring without you around."
Signed,
Kitten.
Hisoka laughed at his friends whimsical behavior, then again, he was whimsical too. He just counted his blessings and looked for the next interesting thing he could find.
Kurapica was awarded his revenge but his vows came at a staggering cost damaging his psyche and having the nen of the fallen Ryodan members attacking him was disheartening. Thankfully he has Senlitsu on his side and I gifted Kurapica a necklace that wards of evil nen attacks giving him room to breathe.
When Gon, Killua and Leorio arrived, they saw the news and congratulated him on succeeding on one of his goals. They were surprised however when he mentioned on thanking me for my help.
Killua, having linked the two together teased me to no end. Leorio seing as Kurapica's road to vengeance was complete, Leorio said his goodbye to further study his doctor profession.
I warned Gon and Killua on having the effects of vows and restriction on Nen as a double edged blade like what happened to Kurapica.
Time skip, Greede Island Auction Day.
"Welcome everyone to this year's end of the year Yorkshin auction, we have many rare items sold here today so stay tune." The announcer said.
"Today we have this mysterious game Greed Island for sale, it is sad that this is a Hunter game and has a chance that you could loose your life." Said the announcer.
"There are currently six copies being sold here today and each game has a maximum of eight players, note that the game seems to be protected by an unknown force and will still be running when there is no power connected. Let's start the bid with 900 million." Said the announcement.
"We have now 25 billion from Mr. Baterra, going once, twice, and Oh we have a surprising bid of 30 billion from an unknown Kid, going once, twice, Sold to the weird kid with white hair."
"Hey?, are you sure you can pay for that?." asked Gon curiously, Mr. Paizaru was also there with us as our companion.
"Why, of course Gon, I talked over with Killua and planned this surprise you know, we will finally find a clue to your father." I said confidently.
"Oh yeah, thanks guys." Gon said happily.
The rest of the greed Island game were sold to Mr. Battera.
On a break I managed to slip to Mr. Baterra's room.
"Excuse me, I would like to have a chat with my fellow gamer enthusiast." I said.
"Welcome, it's you, do you want something." Asked Battera.
"Ah, yes, I was just going to give my fellow gamer buddy a sort of lucky charm, this is called a bottle of miracle, yes pardon the corny pun, this is rumored to believe to create a miracle only once when you pour it in said recipient, you can ask your Hunter employee for any curses, it does have nen properties, use it when all option is lost." I said cryptically as I handed a small potion to Tsuzugera and left.
"Strange, it's almost as if he knew of my predicament, I'll keep his advice and hold unto it as a last resort, it is clean right?." Asked Mr. Baterra to jackpot hunter Tsuzegera.
"Yes, it's clean." Said Tzuzegera as he handed the mysterious Miracle Potion to Mr. Battera.
Doing as intented, Mr. Baterra was forced to use said miracle potion and healed his wife, this will happen in the foreseeable future.
We went back to Kukuroo mountain to play the game there in one the guest room on the servants mansion for privacy.
Gon was first and he was transported to greed Island, Killua was next and I was last.
Minutes later away from the starting point, a Jamacan style player decided to play bully and wanted to cast a monitoring spell on us newbies, but he was unlucky when he arrived and said 'book' summoning his binder and I thew him a rock in the head making him unconcious.
"Free card from the mystery stranger, get!." I said happily as I looted him dry, I of course shared my spoils of war to Gon and Killua who was enjoying the free booty.
They guy did have a plenty of spell card stack though.
"Alright, let's familiarize ourselves with the spells, in case we will end up in a real battle." I said as we reviewed the spell description 10 minutes later and we went to the town and gathered info, we did encounter some strange monster which we captured with ease.
Time skip 1 week later
We managed to collect plenty of cards, some in rarity, seriously, there were like plenty of cards. I did notice something odd, my gamer skill picked up these cards as a viable skill book, I was of course shocked and learned all the spells to make one of a kind items, like the pregnancy stone, if you carry said stone for a month, you will get pregnant even if you are male, you can also choose the baby's gender by what type of stone you carry.
Ah, there was also the Liquor spring that after an hour, the contents of your pitcher or container that is collected from the spring will change to a random high quality alcohol.
I was lucky enough to be graced with an s rank card Tree of plenty which this tree bears different kind of fruits and always regrows them the next day.
There was also the night shift dwarves that act as a Kagebushin while you are asleep.
There are plenty of neat and wierd spell cards and I have been learning them and my consumption of the cards were like Killua's addiction to chocolate robots.
We met with Biscuit Kueger along the way, she didn't recognize me with my new look, so I took another approach and cooked a worthy meal that she had no choice but investigate.
She was indeed captivated by the meal, the same that was served when I was training as her apprentice and asked the question. She was surprised to find out that I was indeed her pupil and I introduced her to my very own pupils.
She did a refresher course in our nen and grilled us in advance techniques. It took 1 week and we agreed that we were worthy to be up to snuff.
It was this time that the Bomber striked and wiped out a group of hunters aiming to clear the game.
The spells in Masadora were selling alot of new stuff so we took our chance and horded said spells especially me since I was able to by double and learned the spell and bought it again as said consumption was replaced automatically.
We were contacted by the weird exorcist guy explaing about Genthru's ability of planting bombs to any part of the victims body and 'Little flower' as he can make his hands explosive and corrosive.
We managed to hoard some new rare cards when we had a meeting with the major completing groups and shared the info about bomber and with Gons charm, we managed to get some extra useful Info.
We also managed to unlock the condition of the illusive patch of shore in Soufrabi.
We were challenge in various team sports, but sadly our teammates were weak and failed in the challenge. It was this time that we were contacted by Mr. Tzuzegera. We teamed up against Genthru and his group and decided to tackle the patch of shore again.
We managed to find Hisoka who participated the game with Mr. Battera, surprising me, but we gained a strong member.
The 'patch of shoreline' challenge with the game master went the same as the anime. I did manage to test myself against one of the strongest user alive. I could have used my 'no nen rule' or healed Killua when he was injured but I wanted to have a sense of fair play and healed them all after the game.
This of course had gotten me a few lumps in the head, but they understood my reasoning for fair play as a game should be played and enjoyed just as it should be intended.
We managed to came up on top and our other major competitor left was Genthru the bomber.
We had a face off and I was on the reserve team. Gon and Killua improved greatly, especially Gon with his amazing fighting spirit and managed to defeat Genthru and persuaded him to hand his cards. It wasn't easy as I said as the battle was of a very high degree and a small mis-step could lead to death.
He promised to hand his over as long as we healed his companions which was Gon's plan anayway. The completion of said cards in Gon's designated pocket signaled the finale of greed island and we did a questionare about the cards. Surprisingly I tied with Gon in getting the perfect score, which was unprecedented resulting in each of us having The rare card Rulers Blessing, it's effect. A castle given as a prize for winning the contest, town with population 10,000 included. Its residents will live according to whatever laws and commands you issue.
We decided that Gon should complete his set pocket destination as I secretly learned the Rulers Blessing as a skill, it was rank SS so it was super ultra rare, useful if I get stranded somewhere.
Gon completed the game and was lucky to meet with its game creators creator while we waited outside. I found out later that Mr. Baterra paid Tzuzugera for his continued service even if they did not won. My miracle potion did do its job making Baterra quite happy and sends his regards from him as he asked Tzugera to deliver the news to me if he were to meet me again.
Everyone was happy, Buscuit was able to get her blue planet gem, while Gon was able to get the spell card Accompany and used it to transport us to Gon's supposed fathers location by using the transform card on some card that let us change the spell into a designated pocket number and using the knight's necklace to revert the card into the Accompany spell card. We later find out we were transported to his good friend Kite who explained that Ging thought of it s a Joke and that was indeed pretty mean.
"Aww, he is hard to find." Gon said sulking.
"Oh yeah, I just remembered, I may have an ability that will take us to him wherever Ging is, I just forgot about it and I unlocked said ability recently." I said shocking Him and Killua.
"Really?, and you just managed yo remember it now?, well, better late than never, c'mon let's go." Gon said eager to meet his Dad.
"Send Ging my regards." said Kite as he went his separate way.
"All right, you guys grab my hand, and off we go." I said as I activated my mastered instant delivery skill.
Meanwhile on a private ship headed to explore the dark continent was a sleeping Ging when suddenly three kids popped out and fell on top of him.
"Gah, what did I do to deserve this?." Ging asked.
"Well, you deserve it for being a bad and slippery father." Gon replied.
Ging sweated bullets and finally gave up and said." I have no excuse, I'm a bad father, but I could not help this proffesion called to me." He said.
"Oh I have forgiven you a long time ago, I just want to hear the reason straight from your mouth and I was right you are a great hunter that I respect, now all that is left is a punch to your face and all will be well." Gon said excitedly.
Ging gave up and was punched a super strong nen enhanced punch from Gon making their parental problem solved.
"Thanks squirt, who are your friends?." Asked Ging curiously.
"They're Killua and Harry Zoldyck, their my great best friends." Gon said explaining happily.
"Good, Good, now on to an overview, this boat is heading for the dark continent, but I'm afraid I will have to go where Chairman Netero needs me. I had just gotten an urgent message from him needing me but I can't abandon this expedition. Now that three additional hunters are here, I have a favor to ask, can you continue to accompany this exploring team?." Ging asked with Puppy dog eyes which flew past Gon's defenses easily.
"Of course, We will be glad to help." Gon said happily.
An hour later and Ging explained to the crew about his replacement.
"Now, how am I going to get back to Chairman Netero?." Asked Ging in an open space of the ship.
"I might be able to help with the transportation, we can't have my best friends father sulking, now hold my hand and make sure you have the things with you that you want to bring along." I said to Ging.
"All right I'm ready." Said Ging as he took my hand.
"Say hi to Chairman for me, tell him that Harry send a his regards." I said as I teleported Ging to the chairman.
Unknowingly Ging was able to halt the chimera ants with the chairman and avoided the deadly scenario of loosing the chairman Netero's life. Due to one of the strongest Hunter helping Chairman Netero, the Chimera ant fiasco came to an end resulting in having a peace treaty with said ant kingdom through their King having changed his mind.
Our expeditionary force consisted of 50 civilians and researchers and there are at least 15 other hunters beside Him and Killua of decent skill.
Our boat passed a sort of barrier. I can feel my teleport skill being sealed of use outside the barrier.
After 3 more days of sailing, we arrived at a port village. Thankfully we spoke the same language and trade seems to be doing well.
We gatherered some information in the land we came in and found out that it was the land of Elemental Nation, home of element throwing ninja and I guess Naruto.
We were out of luck though as it seems the third shinobi war is currently going at full blast.
Our ship and excotic goods brought unwanted attention and some stray Iwa ninja's decided to kill us foreigners and get the goods to themselves.
The resulting battle was won with our hunters but I predict having news of foreigners possessing strange abilities will attract Ninja's and kidnap us and turning us into a baby making machine.
Having foresaw this, I set up a meeting with all the people in our ship including the hunters.
"Hello, everyone, I am sure, you guys saw, some enemy ninja's wanting to sink your claws into our precious goods. I'm afraid I have some bad news. That attack may not be the end of them and they will come again with greater numbers. We are out of fuel to make a trip back home and I gathered you here today for your opinion." I said to the group.
"We can defend ourselves just fine, but I admit that in the numbers game we might loose and since there is a war going on. I have my ears open." Said the other hunter who everyone seems to trust.
"Everyone, I may also have grim news, how much do you guys know about the ninja culture?." I asked curiously.
"Not so much, we never believed such a thing before." Said the researcher.
"I met a true ninja in the Hunter exams, His name was Hanzo, I was was curious about his culture and he was able to share with me their history at the cost of me having him lectures 4 hours straight, what I learned was quite morbid, these ninja's will use any means necessary to change the balance of power. An example would be us showing strange ability to counter their own. They might get desperate and will use any means to kidnap us and make us a baby making machine to have our strange abilities at their disposal via our offspring who they will begin to brainwash to be loyal to them. I know this is a morbid thought, and you might not trust a word of a twelve year old child even if said child is a hunter, but I did not get my 3 star rank hunter by being dumb and not trusting my instincts. To those who will heed my warning, my group will be leaving in 6 hours, those of you who want to come are welcome, I implore you, this is no longer a game but a battle for our survival." I said as I explained the reality of our situation.
"Hmmph, your just a kid, me and my group are very strong, I don't know where the 3 star rank came from, I know there are only a handful of those and I don't believe you kid, I'm staying right here." The Confident hunter said.
At the end of 6 hours there are 10 researchers and 10 civilians who has their specialty and 5 hunter who heeded my warning, of course Gon and Killua trusted me with their lives and came with me. We were 3 hours of walking distance and we saw smoke to the village we were previously docked at. It was sad and we mourned their losses for 5 minutes and we moved on.
Another 5 hours went and we arrived at a dessert with no sign of villages miles away perfect for my plan.
"All right, this should be an alright spot, to those who trusted me, I thank you all, your trust will not be in vain." I said to the tired group.
"What will we do?, we are almost out of supplies and we are in the middle of nowhere with no sight of civilization." Said the head researcher.
"Which is exactly why this is the perfect location, Oh Gon, Killua, I may have lied to you guys about explaining my teleport ability earlier. And I'm sorry, said teleport ability is not working since we passed that barrier in the fog." I explained.
"What do you mean having lied to us about explaining your teleport ability?." Asked Gon curiously.
"What I meant what, I could have used teleport ability to get to your father earlier in the Greede Island game, I promise I did have a very good reason, and it will now answer to all our prayers." I explained.
"Really?, now I am curious, well, you have been thinking of me and Killua's well being, but the reason better be good." Said Gon.
"Oh, it's good alright, allow me to demonstrate, Rulers Blessing on, ability active!." I shouted.
The effect was instantaneous, a huge castle appeared in the horizon, the desert became a large green patch of land stretching for miles, nice houses appeared and 10,000 citizens appeared before us said town is self sustaining with lots of fruit, vegetables and they also have cows, sheeps and pigs. It also has a lake with many fishes.
"The King has arrived, long live the King!." Shouted the town residents.
I was not finished and activated the spell 'Interactive Illusion Barrier' and casted it in the town, it's effect was a an intelligent barrier that lets registered residents pass freely but it won't allow unregistered people to pass. Said barrier also cast a powerful Illusion making this city invisible to the outside world.
"Is that a spell from Greede Island?, you lovable bastard, your so cool brother." Killua said impressed.
"Wow, I guess I now know the reason, you wanted to collect the Greede Island Spells since you can use them outside the game, Okay, it is a pretty good reason, it saved us this time." Gon said.
"All right people, as you may have noticed, these people are real nen constructs, some of you might not know this, but this is a spell from the illusive Greede Island hunter game that we cleared, thus allowing us it's use. I also cast a barrier around the whole city making us invisible and withstand outside attacks. Said barrier also prevents anyone from entering our city without permission and only us and the town residents can move freely outside. Come, let us go into the castle and have a feast, heaven's know we clearly need it." I said as we walked to the castle.
The next day I passed a law to organise my castle and its citizens and created a police task force, a hospital task force, a relief task force in case of emergencies. A merchant guild to better organise our goods and so I can reap abundant taxes at a low cost making my citizens happy.
I also created an Intelligence unit and a trade unit division.
I assigned the 5 hunters as as a guard for our first trade mission and the nearest town was the Hidden Village in the Sand of Sunagakure. Kill us Gon and Me were bored so we went along the first caravan, they really didn't mind that I came along, on the other hand, they felt quite save as I proved my power as a 3 star hunter.
We went to a multitude of check points because it was war time but because it was wartime, Our goods were quite popular.
The Kazekage who was interested in having a trade route to his village being made wanted to talk to the caravans leader which would be me.
Inside the Kazekage building.
"Is the leader of the Caravan here yet.?" The Kazekage said getting impatient.
"That would be me Kazekage-sama, pardon my age, I assure you that my capabilities to lead is without question." I said as I greeted the Kazekage.
The Kazekage analyzed the child in front him, having been a war veteran and leader of his village, he is able to judge a person quite easily and his intincs told him that this child in front f him is very very dangerous and has a kage dangerous feel to it.
"You are not an ordinary kid are you?." The Kazekage asked curiously.
"With all due respect, Kazekage-sama, I wouldn't be here if I didn't posses skills and lead the survivability of my people. I assume you did the same to get your position?." I asked playfully.
"The confirms it, the child in front of him is indeed dangerous and judging by him relating to my struggles to become this village leader, he is indeed a capable one himself. This is no ordinary caravan, usually merchants cower upon meeting me. This just got interesting. " The Kazekage thought.
"Ahh, yes, let's get down to business, as you know, we are at war, and getting supplies to this village is getting hard. I will get straight to the point, I want an exclusive rights to your caravan trade goods." The Kazekage said.
"That can be arrange, just to let you know, we will be expanding after the war and as you have guessed, we are are foreigners and curious about this supernatural phenomenon known as chakra, would you be willing to trade some basic scrolls and theory of said supernatural phenomenon. Of course we will trade it with equal value of our goods, it would not come to a surprise that this is a close guarded secret as it is linked to the village military strength." I explained.
"You, have surprisingly good insight, and you would be right, but seing as this could lead to a long lasting partnership then I would accept provided with the appropriate traded good of course." The Kazekage said milking the situation for all its worth and he was only giving the academy techniques and chakra theory, not really a secret as each hidden villages has the same basic academy techniques, now, it doesn't really mean that he will cheat this caravan swing as those academy techniques are the bread and butter of ninja everywhere and any ninja who is worth their salt mastered these academy techniques to perfection.
"Consider it done." I agreed.
"It's nice doing business with you." The Kazekage said smiling, he just made a steady supply of goods which is invaluable to this wartime zone as normal trade routes are closed off.
"Die Kazekage!." An enemy ninja said as three figures wearing an Iwa headband managed to infiltrate the village.
The would be assasin ninja's didn't get far as they were quickly knocked unconcious by hardened hair senbon coated with nen courtesy of this Zoldyck.
"Hmm, you have got to be careful Kazekage-sama, we just recently became business partners, I wouldn't want it to end so soon." I said as I chastised him for his lack of security.
The Kazekage was shocked and puzzled, shocked that someone managed to infiltrate his village and even more shocked as a Kid incapacitated said ninja's with a senbon like weapon and managed to hit his enemy with percision as they are now lying in a deathlike state, oh he will be having fun interrogating them later, but for now, he has to ask this child an important question.
"Are you sure you're not a ninja?, I mean the skills you showed today is by no means an easy feat and executing them flawlessly in the heat of battle is worthy of praise." The Kazekage said approvingly.
"Unfortunately no, but I did receive hellish training that would make a normal civilian cry." I said.
"Yes, that definitely is the case, let's finalize the trade and let we see your wares." The Kazekage said as they headed to the caravan.
The Kazekage was surprised at the variety this strange caravan lead by that skilled child provided. Some of these fruits and vegetables were highly rarer and were served on the Daimyo and they are trading it at a very low and reasonable price, oh the Kazekage was a happy leader.
"Thank, you for your business Kazekage-sama, we will be back in 3 to 4 months, I thank you again for your hospitality." I said as I left.
Meanwhile, the village of the sand were celebrating, they have procured lavish goods that is considered a luxury even more so in this wartime state and it was a year worth of supply. Said supplier will be back three to four months which was acceptable. The village was celebrating and morale is in all time high.
This event boosted the performance of the Suna Ninja's thus steadily increasing their strength.
I arrived back to our castle and we celebrated our success.
The next day I made meeting with the Hunter exploration team.
"Okay, now that we have procured a steady relationship to one of the villages and we have acquired some valuable scrolls, who would like to go back to our home land and inform the Hunter association that we have succeeds in gaining a foothold in the dark continent and have procured valuable scrolls that the natives use to perform a supernatural phenomenon. Naturally I have the perfect vessel ready to set sail." I explained.
Everyone was excited, what they have achieved is by no means a small feat, it is short of a miracle work. The five hunters and the remaining researchers and civilians wanted to go home. So the next day, we went to the nearest ocean and I did the spell from Greed Island the 'G. I. Incivncible boat'. The boat was a decent size vessel and has luxury decoration and is body has a sleek design as it is coated by a nen barrier and is operated by an interactive nen contruct as its pilot.
I gave them good luck on their journey and I went back to my castle, who knows what Kill us and Von are up to, on a sidenote, my citezens are actually nen contructs as well, as I found out when an accident happened and they turned into a card, quite freaky.
I arrived back and I have now experienced the bane of all Kage, the tons of paperwork. Thanks to my Night Shift elves which acts as a Kagebunshin when I am asleep, it is somewhat manageable. I tasked Gon and Killua to increase our military training and surprisingly my citizens learn pretty fast. I studied the said chakra theory and theorized that nen is the lifeforce energy also known as Ki and the supernatural Aspect of chakra is known as magic. I suspect that Gon can also do these ninja teachniques as his spiritual energy is quite strong. My theory is that magic is a mitigation of the spiritual aspect of the life energy enabling a select few to mold the energy performing extraordinary feats.
To test my theory, I practiced my handsign until I can do it in my sleep and I successfully managed to perform the substitution. I was so excited that I shared the news to Gon and Killua who also became excited at the prospect of new techniques. At the end of our second month we can do all the academy Jutsu without handseals and we were now praising the log as it seems to pop out from nowhere and said technique is quite versatile. I also started them on chakra exercises as I remembered it clearly enough from the anime and we mastered the tree walking and water walking as well. We were quite impressed with the prospect of walking on water. Gon and Killua seems to be satisfied but I wasn't. With my very high control I started doing chakra strings exercises. They were quite useful as an extra pair of limbs, I could now be a very good medic nin, but I already have a superior healing skill at my disposal and I continued my chakra strings training.
On the third month since the others left to report on our success at the dark continent., My chakra strings can now take on a physical form. I Kid you not, I scared Killua and Gon as I made a life like mummy man made of chakra strings. It was the glow from the chakra that it made a scary technique. I apologized to them later and I received a huge lump on the head and we progressed steadily in our training.
It was now the fourth month and it was time for our daily trip to Suna. Our wears increased as I used some of my greed island spells like the Tree of plenty which bear all kinds of fruits and reviews them everyday. I also used the Liquor Spring making us a variety of exquisite rare wine collection. I also was able to procure quality weapons imbued with nen properties, I used fledgeling elemental blacksmith skill from the Greede Island spells. I was required to sacrifice 3 hours a day holding its egg and it's hatching span was in the span of 1 day to ten years, I would be a master elemental blacksmith if the egg hatched . It didn't deter me as I wanted the skill so badly that the egg hatched in 3 months time imbuing me with knowledge and long lost techniques. Apparently the time varies and is reduce if your desire is strong enough. This was indeed a huge boon as I was making plenty of weapons of quality no one can deny and with my farm of metal making animals, I was able to procure my desires to make extraordinary weapons. I stocked up the caravan with high quality exotic goods and everyone was excited. This time, I enlisted the help of Gon and Killua again. They were glad to accept as they were unable to explore most of the village because of the high security last time.
We were greeted favorably by the Suna village. With their morale high, they were now a leading contender in the war. The Kazekage was impressed that my wares increased and are becoming more lavish and outrageous, but I was still asking for a low price which shocked him as a normal shinobi or merchant would milk them for all their worth. He was also impressed that I now carry weapon of high quality, chakra conductive to boot which was a plus. We were given a variety of E rank to B rank scrolls and some occasional A rank scrolls and seeing as they were not low on those Since ninja carry their scroll a like their legacy on their person when going to war, they had plenty and they were happy to trade them. The Kazekage even gave us his collection of Uzumaki scrolls. They were mainly the Kagebunshin which he deemed ineffective as it would only be useful to one who has large chakra reserves which his forces have only 5 to make an average use of the technique. The rest were Sealing Manuals. Many many sealing manuals that would make you a sealing master if you mastered them, but seeing as the thing was very very difficult to undestand and they were no aspiring seal masters and no-one wanted to study the obscure art in the sand village, they traded it it away for useful weapons in times of war.
The Kazekage did warn us that the next time we deliver our goods that we might encounter enemy ninja because news of the mysterious caravan having supported to Suna boosting their morale was a big target sign pointed at our back.
I reassured the Kazekage that we will double our training and thankfully with these new scrolls that we just receive will help boost our strength, I reassured him further that if we cannot handle it, we would hire ninja's from Suna as we had pretty much became a backbone in their village.
I said our goodbye and Gon and Killua had fun. They were eyeing the horde of scrolls we managed to trade though. So we went ahead to our castle excitedly.
The Suna Village's morale was further boosted with new things and foods to try, it was a good day to be alive and with their surprising shipments of quality weapons that they managed to acquire at a bargain. Let's just say the ninja population were on a whole New high.
We finally arrived back in our city and thanked the caravan team and I also thanked Gon and Killua. We went to our castle and we now have a large collection of ninja scrolls which were devoured by Gon and Killua to increase their skill set. I was quite contented with mine actually but I was interested in the Kagebunshin for my workforce as my Night shift elves can only do so much. I mastered the Kagebunshin and was very happy. I now know that I have large reserves that I can make 500 solid clones and devoured the sealing manuals. Since fuinjutsu is relatively similar to runes, I was surprised to find out that I have a high aptitude for it.
Time skip 2 months.
With the abuse of shadow clones, I was now able to defeat paperwork and finished the sealing manual books and I was now doing my private research as I was now very proficient in the sealing arts. Gon and Killua also progressed as they are now able to throw many types of elements at their opponents.
It was around this time that the Hunter community sent a large expedition force and we were greeted by old faces from the first expeditionary force.
We were informed of the Chimera ant incident and the timely arrival of Ging turned the tide of battle. News of the success of our exploration of the dark continent were also in high regard and the scrolls that were brought back was analyzed and Hunters were able to reproduce the effect.
The expedition force this time consisted of 1000 hunters as many were eager to jump at the band wagon and some were eager to make a life here.
It was my turn to report that we have amassed a large library of scroll techniques and I have prepared copies to be brought back to the Hunter association should the need arise.
Since everyone in the expedition force this time was a hunter, they were both free to study this strange and obscure techniques as long as they take care of themselves.
A month passed and every hunter was boosted in their abilities and the more dedicated they are, the stronger they are. Some was contented to stay in my city and trained. The cities defense and the quality of life was bordering luxury, progress was indeed bolstered. A happy hunter is a strong hunter. A hundred people decided to head back and report their further findings brining along with them many new scroll techniques.
The war finaly ended and a treaty of all the hidden villages was made. Konoha came up on top and the Yellow Flash came into the spotlight.
Suna surprisingly came second as they mysteriously amassed strength and was able to avoid the use of their Biju as of yet.
Kumo came in third with loses but was able to revover.
Iwa was hit hard the most as they were very heavy casualties on their side.
Kiri had gone awol and started their bloodline purge.
While this was going on I was amassing plenty of barrier seals, controlled and timed explosive tags, paralysis seals, chakra siphoning seals, and my favorite invisibility seal. On second thought I already mastered my notice-me-not charm but a back-up never hurt.
On the other hand Gon Killua and me had gotten quite bored and we were planning on heading and leaving the castle to a capable person via voting.
My next trip to Suna was going to be my last for awhile and I managed to make the Hunter mark as our nation sign. I also set up a meeting on the major officials to come with me on the next trade so I can introduce them to the leader of one of the powerful military village who we had a strong partnership with.
It was finally time for the next caravan. I introduced the Kazekage to the next official who will be replacing me in my stead and will continue the trade route with them at the same price. I didn't know that the Kazekage had a soft spot for me but I was gifted with a retractable twin battle of fan. I of course gave him a 500 piece of each set of seals that I had a variety made and gave a manual on making said seals in a simplified form so they could mass produce them. He was very happy that I was able to make use of those gibberish books and he is now even happier that he got a new set of seals in their circulation and a simplified manual to mass produce said seals cementing the Suna and Hunter Association as partners.
A few days later Gon, Killua and me packed for home seeing as we had succeeded on making a foot hold in the dark continents.
I summoned another 'G.I Invincible boat' to take us home. A few days later we passed the barrier separating our world. Just as the weather cleared, a sudden wormhole/ vortex appeared and started pulling things into it. I tried to navigate avoiding the debrees but the pull was just too strong. Thinking quickly I steeled myself for what I am about to so.
"Gon, Killua, You are like brothers to me, as your Big brother, it is my responsibility to take you to safety. I had a fun time with my time with you guys." I said with a smile.
"What are you saying nii-san, we will get out of this alive together, wait a minute, your not planning in using that to us right?, damn it nii-san, you know your the best thing that happened to me beside Gon, don't leave me dammit." Said Killua fearfully.
"What!, what are you guys talking about?." Gon asked confused.
"I love you both, If I survive this somehow, I vow to find a way to you guys, even if it seems imposible, this is my promise of a lifetime. After all, what kind of brother I would be if I make my siblings cry. Believe in me and I will believe in you, stay strong, I would use this teleport ability myself along with you two, but there seems to something that is interfering with my ability, fortunately I am still able to use it to you guys to send you to safety, stay safe " I smiled as I said and those words and teleported Gon and Killua to Chairman Netero.
Meanwhile, I casted my mana shield times 30 as my current mastery would allow and hoped for the best as I was sucked into the wormhole.
On the other side of the globe, chairman Netero was consoling the two promising Hunter for the loss of their big brother. Chairman Netero was saddened by the loss of one Harry Zoldyck, an excellent 3 star hunter, but he was very proud of him that he stayed true and managed to protect his students/ brothers. He smiled as he would gladly do the same and entrust the future to the new generation when he was prepared to suicide himself to defeat the chimera ant king, but the sudden appearance of Ging, helped him avoided such an outcome and it was thanks to the same young man. The chairman asked for the details of the incident and he believed that Harry will come back to them as he has seen personally the tenacity of the other Zoldyck which reassured Gon and Killua, believing on their brother.
I woke up feeling really really sore, I checked my limbs, still intact and checked my body, aside from being sore all over. I saw a pelican dropping a newspaper to me, I guess, it was trained to deliver the news. I took a look at it. Thankfully, I understood the words and letters. The paper said.
"The Age of Pirates is on full bloom, Hero Admiral Garp withdraws from his position due to the sudden death of Monkey D. Luffy, his beloved grandson. Who will protect us from the pirates?." The paper said.
"Oh this is just what's the word I'm looking for?, Oh yeah, a major curse word, but I'm refraining myself from saying it. I mean, I'm in an alternate world of One Piece, where Luffy, the supposed star and hero of the show, shows everyone the true value of freedom. Oh, this is just great, A big fat opened jar of worms." I ranted of my predicament.
"Ahh, I'll just wing it, I did promise my brothers that I will do my best to get home." I said as I looked for civilization.
I seem to have landed on a tropical island, hmm I see a small village in the harbor and a pirate ship, great, just great, so early in the game and I encounter a pirate ship.
I walked to the town and went inside the bar where noises could be heard of merry making. I walked inside and went into the counter.
"Excuse me, may I have a glass of water please?." I asked politely.
Suddenly the pirates looked at me funny, I checked my clothes to see if there is something strange but my clothes were left mostly undamaged form the wormhole encounter.
"Your not from around here are you kid?, almost anyone can tell with your strange clothing, surprisingly it brings out your strong points." Said the red haired stranger.
"Why thank you, I do try, let's just say I managed to get to safety, avoiding the storm, luckily, my clothes were in tact." I said answering the strange man.
"Oh, your strange, you worry about your clothes when you survived a storm?, what are you a runaway aristocrat?, but I can't say that really, not when your posture shows no opening and ready to strike without a moment's notice." The red haired man appraised me.
"Ahh, you are both correct in your assumption, I do come from a line of small nobility, but said nobility did not get there by sitting fancy, said nobility honed the fine tradition of a certain job. I'll tell you my job if you tell me yours." I said playfully.
"Ha!, your loss kid, everyone knows of I'm Shanks, Captain of the red-hair pirates, one of the for yonko. You really suck at this betting game." Laughed shanks.
"Oh, my, luck seems to be on your side, thank you for the glass of water, as for my end of the bargain, I am a simple assasin." I said as I melded into the shadows and went away.
Every pirate in the room was shocked that the kid's trade was an assasin, they were more even surprised as he suddenly vanished. Even with their observation Haki they could not find a trace.
"That kid is, Awesome!, he trumps me in being cool. Oh God!, I want that kid in my crew, Men!, who wants that mysterious cool assassin kid to join our merry band of crew!?." Thanks shouted.
There was a unanimous shout agreeing with shanks on making one Harry Zoldyck to be part of their crew.
Shanks crew sprung into action and searched high and, the search lasted 3 days but no luck, nothing interesting happened except a kid that was dared to take a photo of the nearby seaking infested water.
Naturally Shanks with his hero complex went in to save the kid. The seaking was about to bite of Shanks arm when suddenly 5 sounds of a hard object hitting a flesh was heard. It was the sea king being put in a death like state.
"My, we seem to see each other in some strange circumstances Mr. Shanks, if you are worried about the beast, don't be, I only put it in a death like stake and will recover in 6 hours, do be careful, it's a dangerous world out there." I said as I began to walk away.
Shanks was shocked at what happened, he was prepared to loose his arm to save the innocent kid. when the cool kid assassin who he estimated at 13 years old dealth with the sea king, said something cool and walked away. Did I mention he was walking on water?, Oh God how cool is that, he so wanted the kid to join his crew.
After the incident was resolved, Shanks was now even more determined to get that cool kid on his crew, yes, he so wanted it badly that, he was not drinking rum and looked for the kid passionately.
Another three days passed and he was about to give up, until he smelled a most delicious scent that rivaled the most delicious dishes he ever tasted. Having spent his energy, he followed the sweet allure of the delicious scent in a clearing where the kid he was looking was sitting eating the deliciously baked bear.
"Excuse me, can you share your food me?, I'm quite hungry and lost." Shanks said with drool of saliva pouring out his mouth.
"Help, yourself, a small kid like me can't possibly eat this meal all to myself." I said as I gave him the Ok signal.
Shanks, had gotten the Ok signal and that was all he needed, in a speed that rivals "the flash", he consumed the large roasted boar, God, it was the most exquisite tasting food he ever tasted as if it was the food of the Gods, he was caught up in the situation that he carried a bucket full tears of joys. The strange scene lasted for ten minutes as he regained control of himself.
"I'll, get straight to the point, I want you to join my Pirate crew, I searched for you for 6 days straight and I'm not taking no for an answer." Shanks said with conviction.
"I figured as much, I saw how desperate you searched for me, did you know that there is a barrier here keeping wild beasts away?, I guess your sensitive knows won as you bypassed by barrier that suggest living things to stay away." I said explaining the situation.
"Sigh, I can already tell that your very stubborn to a fault like a certain someone I know, so, to save us both the trouble, I will say yes, Also, I'm searching for method home as my home seems to be well hidden, I will stay with your crew until I can find said method, this is my condition." I said explaining my condition.
"Deal!." Shanks said in a heart beat and did a version of a happy dance.
"I got the cool kid to join my crew!." Shanks said this repeatedly while dancing his happy dance.
After 30 minutes we went back at the bar.
"Hey, the captain is back, and look what he got in tow, wow, he must be really lucky." Said his first mate.
Shanks Introduced himself and his band of red haired pirates with Benn Beckman as his first mate, Yassop the sniper and Is Ussop's father, Luckry Roo the rowdy fighter. He e
also explained his prize ship made of Adam Wood, one of the hardest wood material in the world. He also explained their large treasury room and the empty reserve treasury room who is just as large. He also explained their currency system and their for rum that they splurge themselves and the occasional ahem, woman entertainment.
"We'll that's about all you need as the basic for being a red-hair Pirate, by the way, your duty will be the the ship's cook, it's non-negotiable." Thanks sad with conviction.
"Are you sure captain?, he is a bit young." Asked the concerned Beckman.
"Oh, your saying that now, but once you tasted this guys cooking, you can never go back to regular ones. I have literally tasted a piece of Heaven." Thanks said as he described the sensation he felt when he first ate of Harry's cooking and resulting in him drooling convincing the rest of the crew.
"If you say so Captain." Said Beckman.
"So Shanks, I heard your fond of betting." I asked curiously.
"You bet, my luck is so strong that I always win, I did find you didn't I?." Said Shanks confidently.
"I see, you wouldn't mind having a bet with little Old me would you?." I asked playfully.
"Name your terms, and prepare to loose." Said Shanks confidently.
"My terms are simple, I will borrow from you 1 Million Berry and in the span of a month I will pay you back with 10 Million Berry, provided I get to rent the extra storage room with 500 Thousand Berry per month. I understand that The stakes are quite high so I will give up a treasure worthy of said bet as a collateral and in the event that I am unable to pay, I will hand over my current Berry's and everything in said extra armory room that I will be using and of course said collateral will be handed over its ownership to you, Of course I would not make you decide right away, The show of my collateral comes first and you decide if said bet is really worth it." I explained as me and Shanks went to empty room and I showed him the goods. Shanks fell and created a loud noise.
Shanks immediately said "Yes, you have got yourself a deal young man, now hand the collateral." Shank said as I handed him the collateral.
Now, what might be the controversial collateral item that was used in the wager?, Give up?. Ahh, I see, It was none other than Jiraiya's Icha Icha which Harry managed to trade them from suna, currently there are four series released and Harry managed to get 20 copies of each series.
We headed outside the room and Shanks said." Beckman, give the lad his million Berry, the bet is on." said Shanks as he released a perverted giggle peeking the interest in all the crew.
Beckman lead me to the treasury room and handed me the 500 million berry as the other half was collected as rent.
"This is, the other armory room that you rented as a bet to the captain, is is indeed quite a large room, good luck." Said Beckman as he left.
I quickly cleaned the room with my use of Kagebunshin it was speed up and only took twenty minutes. I then went back to Fusia village which I learned was the name of the village and bought empty clean barrels for 5000 berry which was twenty times the worth of said item and I was able to procure 500 clean empty barrels. I also brought some pillows and went back to my room.
Rumors of the mysterious kid buying clean empty barrels spread as the village never made so much profit in one sitting before. The read haired pirates were puzzled but left the strange kid alone.
I went back to the room and made it into 3 parts, the furthest back is my room which I transfigured the pillows I bought to a luxury bed and casted them with cushioning charms, I added seals to all the three rooms to increase their durability and sound proofed my rooms. The middle room, I used the Skill Liquor Spring which make water taken from said spring turn into random alchohol. Said spring never ran out of water and I added seals to stabilize the foundation and makes it balance if we ever encounter a rough wheather and it will not spill. I also transformed the room to look dignified and have an elegant feel to it. The third room which is connected at at the front door was my selling room as I transfigured the place to hold my filled Barrels filled with Liquor Spring and levitate them into place. I transformed my reception room with a 20th century bartender feel to it and made plenty of comfortable chairs which I transigured. My reception room is also my largest room to accommodate plenty of people and Space enlargement charms expanded the rooms further. I applied water seals in case my room got caught on fire and put some fragrance charms.
It was dinner time and I served the hungry pirates a feast fit for a king that they could not go without the celebratory rum.
It was my turn to smile as I dragged a trolley of rums I put with table cloth on top of it earlier and I set up a mini-counter.
"Pirates of all ages, looking for delicious rum to accompany with delicious food?, Look no further, this humble cook is selling his home made random of high quality, best of all, If you are not satisfied, you can return it with no charge, care to try?, only 50 thousand berry per barrel." I said as I uncovered my rum shop in a private corner.
"So that's what he did to all those barrels he collected from the village." Said Shanks.
"As the the captain of this vessel, I shall be the first to try this supposed High quality rum." Shanks said as he paid me and took a barrel drank from it whole.
The crowd waited for the verdict
"We'll, how was it?." Asked the curious pirates.
"It was awesome!, by captains decree I order that I will be the only one buying those rum." Shanks said in daze.
This got a massive reaction as the crew formed a mob and crushed the captain who got in the way of their rum. All of the rum was forcefully sold and Harry profited 2 million berry.
Our stay in Fushia village came to a stop as we went to Lougue Town, the place where Gold D. Roger was executed. Said trip took 5 days and I have have now accumulated 15 million berry from my rum businesses from the crew. It was now time to visit captain Shanks.
I knocked the captain quarters and I was let in.
"Oh, captain?, do you still remember our bet?." I asked playfully.
"Nooo!, you can keep the money but can I keep the precious?." He asked me with puppy dog eyes.
"Aww, I can't say no to those eyes, they really creep me out, it doesn't really suit a grown man doing it. The result is very scary and disturbing, you can keep the books and I'll keep the money." I said as I quickly got out of the room.
"Mwahahahahaha, like I said, my luck is invincible, in the end, I get to keep my precious, I may have lost some money, but in the end I got what I wanted." Said Shanks as he continued his perverted reading.
We arrived at Louge Town and I went to work as I used my Kagebunshin to buy more empty clean barrels at 6000 berry each. I received a whopping 20,000 pieces of the thing. Seriously, how did this town had that much?.
Using my Kagebunshin, I stocked my rum and took out some extra rum to sell outside.
I was selling in the center of town with my mystery rum with free samples. Suffice to say it was a hit and I have now 25 million berry. All this was done in an hour so I had 6 more hours free time and seeing the sad faces of my customers I ordered my Kagebunshin to bring more and made a huge sale as my rum of different flavors were a hit now earning me a total of 150 million berry, the demand so high that they offered double the price and said double price was still cheaper than other known high quality rum, everyone had gotten a large piece of the pie.
What will I do with all that money anyway?, why, it might be useful when I bribe some corrupt marine, Oh now that's just rich, still, one can never be sure of the future.
Our ship was stocked as I asked my clone to do the food shopping.
The epic ride of the reverse mountain was a a breathtaking view, we skipped Whiskey Peak as we know their gig. We plan to stop at Alabasta for a week.
I asked the crew if they wanted to earn a million berry per day as hired muscle. Suffice to say Almost all the crew wanted to join in my gig. Hey, 1 million berry per day as paid labor is nothing to scoff off, it's easy money. So I rented a large shop at the largest town district. I put my hired hands to work and had them carry the barrels toward the shop. I could always use the storage seal and clones to do all the work myself, but that would be to suspicious as the red-haired pirate is a close knit family.
Seeing as water is scarce in said region, by the end of the week I had now a profit of 10 billion berry. The profit was so good that my 200 workers had earned 20 million berry each as I doubled their pay for their hard work, even with paying them that much money I still had the 10 billion berry untouched.
When Shanks arrive from his meeting with the king of Alabasta, he saw his crew gambling large amounts of money.
"Where did you guys get all that money?, they don't grow on trees you know." Said the shocked Shanks.
"They surely don't, but Harry seems to grow them, seriously, he hired almost all of the crew for muscle work, the initial pay was 1 million berry a day, It was a no brainer and almost all the crew signed up. Harry's rum business was so good that our initial pay of 6 million berry for six days of work had a bonus of 14 million berry extra, and he paid 200 of our crew members 20 million each. Hehehehe, life sure is good." Said the random red-hair pirate as he explained the large wad of berry that most of the crew obtained.
"That is so unfair, really, that is like ten to twenty times we get of the normal raid from other pirates. Maybe we should change careers." Said Shanks in a daze.
"Nahh, being a pirate is too good, you just keep your ears open and maybe you won't miss Harry's miracle rum sale. Seriously, where does he get all that rum?, maybe he obtained a devil fruit that makes rum?, my God, maybe he did, what a useful ability." Said the random crew and all agreed that Harry had eaten rum making devil fruit.
Shanks was depressed and turned to his Icha Icha for a mood changer.
We now headed to Jaya, said town was full of very shady people and all the crew VETO'd my rights yo explore this town.
They weren't willing to chance Harry their godly cook, and the money making rum tree be tainted by the foul stench of the town and if news revealed of Harry's rum devil fruit gets out, he would surely be kidnapped by unsavory thugs.
Our stay in Jaya was short. We were now heading to the New World, home of the toughest Pirates and Marine Vying for supremacy.
What will come out of our young Hary-Stu Potter Zoldyck?.
