JOJO hiding in the hunter world

The sea, enraged by the heavy rain, abandoned its usual calm and blue hue. Due to the dim light, it now appeared a deep, greyish-black. It resembled an endless abyss, and looking down evoked a feeling of being sucked in.

Waves several meters high possessed the power to destroy life, and lightning tore a gash in the sky. In the downpour, the sky and the sea simultaneously vented their fury.

Jon was also exhausted by the heavy rain, but fortunately, it was a passing shower that stopped after only a few minutes. Otherwise, this year's examinees might have been wiped out.

Compared to the magnificent power of nature, humans were too insignificant. If this rain had lasted long enough, even monster-level Nen users like Uvogin would have succumbed to the disaster.

The number of examinees had been reduced by more than half, and the examiners were nowhere to be seen.

At this moment, a huge shadow enveloped Jon and Lindsay.

What a large ship! The bow was very sharp, and the hull was very long. It looked like something from the Age of Exploration.

As it gradually approached, Jon realized that this was no ordinary ship. The hull had a series of closed windows. Anyone who had seen Pirates of the Caribbean would know that these windows were for cannons. Speaking of which, the Hunter World was indeed a manga world, with many illogical elements. The technology in the Hunter World was not bad, generally around the level of the early 2000s in his original world, with computers and mobile phones. However, Gon used a wooden sailboat to go to sea to find his father, which showed how strange the technology in this world was.

Now, the ship appearing before Jon's eyes had a rich sense of history. Although it wasn't old, one could tell that it had been through many battles, with many wooden planks patched up on the hull, presumably from cannon fire.

This should be an armed ship, Jon judged.

Several ropes were thrown down from the ship. In this stage where physical strength was lacking, Jon desperately hoped for a place to rest. Perhaps it was also due to his confidence in his own strength that Jon and Lindsay boarded the large ship.

A group of people also boarded the ship with Jon. They knew that they would not be able to reach their destination on their own, so they might as well take a gamble and let the captain take them to the second exam venue. Because this sudden rainstorm had consumed a lot of their physical strength.

Of course, not everyone was overwhelmed by the test. There were still many people who remained vigilant, constantly guarding against sneak attacks. After all, it was too coincidental that a storm just happened to occur, and then a ship just happened to appear at this juncture. The wary examinees still decided to swim across.

Facts proved that these veterans' judgment was correct. As soon as Jon came up, he was surrounded by five or six burly men with guns. Jon knew what was going on.

Because Lindsay was there, and Jon's physical strength had not yet recovered, and they had guns, Jon didn't dare to be careless and raised his hands to show that he gave up resisting. The whole process was very tacit, Jon didn't speak and obeyed orders.

"Clang," Jon and the other examinees who came up were handcuffed. The rescued examinees were gathered in one place, where there were many other handcuffed prisoners, mostly not this year's examinees. The personnel were complex, with all kinds of people.

As for kind pirates, just go to sleep. Who would be a pirate if they were kind-hearted?

"I am the first mate of this ship. I am here to tell you trash that if you cooperate with me, I will not kill you."

From the pirate who claimed to be the first mate, he learned that they were the Redbeard Pirates, the largest pirates in the nearby waters. A few days ago, a professional bounty hunter was chasing them, and they had no choice but to find enough hostages to threaten the professional hunter.

There were more than fifty prisoners on the ship. If they were killed by outsiders during the exam, the Hunter Association would also be criticized and questioned by all sectors of society.

In fact, when he first came up, Jon made a mistake. Perhaps he watched too many movies and anime, and thought that pirates would hang their pirate flag high on the mast. But the truth was not so. Most of the time, pirate groups usually did not raise their pirate flags. First, it was too risky to hang the pirate flag. If a master came to hunt them down, wouldn't the flag instantly expose them? Second, if they encountered a merchant ship or yacht with a pirate flag on top, who would dare to approach?

Jon didn't care what the first mate was saying. The most important thing now was to recover his strength. After all, the body was the capital of the revolution. He would consider counterattacking after his body and strength were restored.

Only handcuffs were a joke to Jon. With Stone Free's string form, his body could quickly turn into a string. Had anyone ever seen handcuffs that could hold a thread? Obviously, it was impossible. If necessary, Jon could break free from the shackles in an instant.

This was the reason why Jon could remain calm.

Of course, there were also people who didn't cooperate. The pirates directly beat them up and then killed them to feed the fish. Of course, Jon didn't see it on the spot, but only heard about it. However, Jon thought that what they said was right. After all, it was okay to kill one or two troublemakers, as long as they didn't kill them all and left some people, they would have the qualifications to negotiate with the Association.

He didn't want to be the Pirate King anymore. This industry was full of ugly freaks who either looked ferocious or were not handsome at all. Moreover, because they were at sea all year round, their desires could not be vented, and their psychology gradually became perverted. In short, they were a group of social scum.

Jon ignored them and didn't curse and wail like the other prisoners, nor did he discuss escape plans with others. He just quietly recovered his strength, ready to give them a righteous backstab at the best time.

About two hours passed, or maybe longer. Jon heard the "thud thud" sound, the sound of cannonballs.

The best opportunity was coming.

Jon and the other prisoners were escorted to the deck. A burly man with a red beard shouted at the warship opposite.

"I you" could not be translated for various reasons. It probably meant that if the other side did not surrender, he would kill one person every five minutes. After speaking, he took out his pistol and shot a prisoner dead with a "bang."

The action was too fast, and someone died before Jon could react. The bounty hunter seemed to be anxious too and started trying to stabilize him with his voice.

"Don't come over, I'll kill them if you come any closer."

The bounty hunter's idea of getting close for a melee was completely bankrupt.

Jon immediately transformed his entire body into a string and summoned Crimson King to activate Epitaph.

After a while, Jon activated Epitaph again.

Redbeard pulled the trigger and fired a few shots at Jon. The bullets left a clear trajectory in the air. Jon tilted his head and dodged two bullets, and another hit his string-like body.

Redbeard pulled the trigger, um, exactly the same as what Epitaph saw.

Then, Crimson King, erase it, time!
