JOJO hiding in the hunter world

In the lush, green forest, ancient trees stretched out their branches. The usual harmonious chirping of insects was absent, replaced by the sounds of explosions and pursuit.

Jon, caught off guard by a sudden attack, leaped back to create some distance. He recognized the assailant as a 'Needle Man' covered in needles.

His mechanical and slender body was studded with round-headed nails.

Illumi Zoldyck, Killua's older brother. A very dangerous and brother-obsessed assassin.

"You're not Orlando's bodyguard, are you?"

"No, I don't know what you're talking about," Jon said, pulling the Nen needles out of his body. It seemed Orlando was Illumi's target.

Jon remained wary as he watched Illumi, remembering how close he had come to being killed.

"Sorry about that," Illumi said emotionlessly before turning to leave.

Anger!

Perhaps Jon had become arrogant after learning Nen, or maybe it was the overconfidence of being seemingly invincible with Mirror Man and Crimson King, or perhaps it was Stone Free's natural advantage against manipulators.

He realized Illumi must have killed all those people on the airship. Yet, Illumi showed no remorse or apology on his face.

Illumi's disregard for life clashed with Jon's worldview.

It's the murderers who should be repenting, why should I back down and try to smooth things over!

Although he had known Illumi was a merciless demon, witnessing it firsthand was still unacceptable.

Suddenly, Jon realized he couldn't control his body.

"Bastard, where do you think you're going!" A cold voice came from Jon's mouth.

Jon was certain he hadn't said that. Was he being controlled by some special ability?

As Jon roared in anger, an icy chill swept over Illumi. It was a pure malice, a simple and powerful desire to kill, immediately alarming Illumi, who was familiar with killing.

Illumi immediately went into combat mode, turning back to examine the kid who had moments ago seemed as harmless as a lamb.

Illumi was surprised again. He actually didn't want to fight Jon. He had been secretly observing Jon earlier and thought he would make a good pawn. He hadn't reacted at all when pierced by his Nen needles.

Illumi couldn't figure out why the Nen needles had been ineffective. It was undoubtedly unwise to antagonize Jon, but he seemed afraid of death and was retreating.

Illumi didn't want to fight him either, but he hadn't expected the lamb to suddenly turn into a Tyrannosaurus Rex. The deep malice was something even Illumi, who had killed countless people, couldn't ignore.

"Oh, I'm really sorry. How about I give you 200 million Jenny as compensation?" Illumi wanted to test the waters, as the current Jon gave him a great sense of danger.

"Two hundred million Jenny, that's a lot, but I refuse. My favorite thing is to say NO to people who are full of themselves..."

Jon's mentality collapsed. Although that line was cool in the manga, it was too embarrassing to say now. He definitely wouldn't say it himself.

However, Jon was certain of one thing: this must be Jon's second personality. This inner personality was like Doppio to Diavolo.

Could it be a special effect of Crimson King, Jon wondered? Because Crimson King's face also had a pink little face, which might represent the second personality.

What Jon didn't know was that Diavolo awakened Crimson King because he had a dual personality, while Jon was the opposite - he developed a dual personality because of Crimson King.

No matter what happened, Illumi always kept a poker face. Jon wondered if Illumi was expressionless.

Although Illumi was a manipulator, his physical skills were not weak. He could even be said to be very strong, a whole level above the Phantom Troupe's Shalnark.

In fact, the Zoldyck family, except for their ancestor Maha Zoldyck, were not enhancement-type Nen users. However, the Zoldyck family members' hand-to-hand combat skills were completely unafraid of most enhancement-type Nen users.

Illumi also used the Assassin's Pace in a decent manner, and several Illumis instantly appeared before Jon's eyes.

An ordinary person might be stunned for a moment, but Jon was someone who had seen the world. Although Killua's level was not high, having seen it before greatly reduced the surprise.

Jon immediately used Gyo to see which one was real.

Illumi moved, rushing towards Jon head-on at lightning speed. The Nen needles were being used by other controlled people to deal with the mission target, Orlando. Illumi was quite confident in his own strength.

Jon also smiled. Jon's favorite thing was head-on combat.

Illumi approached. Having been trained since childhood, Illumi could now push open the three-layered Testing Gate. Even if he could only exert half of that strength in combat, it would still be several tons of force.

Illumi's fingers were straightened and joined together, his two hands like two knives, swinging out rapidly.

The swiftly swung arms were as flexible as snakes, the fingertips sharper than blades. The arms, bent like snakes, swung wildly, forming a death zone in front of him.

This was Snake Hands.

As expected of the eldest son of the Zoldyck family, he knew more techniques than Killua did now. His strength was definitely not something Killua could compare to now. But Illumi wasn't much older than Jon.

Head-on confrontation was what Jon wanted. Jon's teacher, Wilhelm, was himself a master of enhancement. He was stronger than Stone Free in terms of power, but far inferior in speed to Jon's Stand. If it weren't for his profound martial arts skills, Wilhelm would have been in a difficult fight.

"Stone Free!" The blue figure appeared.

"I won't lose to you! ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!"

Stone Free clashed with Illumi's Snake Hands, but in the end, Stone Free's punch speed was a little faster, faintly suppressing Illumi.

But Illumi was an assassin, and what he was best at was not head-on combat but sneak attacks from behind. Illumi spun around to avoid Jon's attack.

Illumi came to Jon's side with a strange movement, which was Jon's blind spot.

He gathered Nen on his arm and struck Jon's spine with full force. If this move landed solidly, it would definitely break his spine.

But Jon suddenly disappeared from Illumi's sight out of thin air, no, the surrounding scenery had also changed. Although it was only a subtle change, Illumi noticed it.

But Illumi didn't have time to think about it. The biggest problem was, where did Jon go?

Illumi saw the shadow behind him with the corner of his eye.

That's right, Jon was already standing behind Illumi. Jon used Time Erase at the critical moment.

It was too late, Jon's Stone Free was too fast for Illumi to dodge. Illumi used the fastest speed of his life to harden some vital points of his body.

But Jon's original goal was not to kill Illumi, but Illumi's arm.

Instantly, a huge tearing sensation came from his arm, Illumi's arm was cut off.

This was also the scene Jon had seen with Epitaph. Hitting vital points would kill Illumi, which was not what Jon wanted to see.

It wasn't that he was afraid of the Zoldyck family. No one would seek revenge if a Zoldyck family member died on a mission. But many Nen users would generate death aura after death and attach it to the murderer, which would greatly damage Jon and wouldn't be worth the loss.

But the Nen aura under Illumi's feet erupted, preparing to jump away. Jon's ORA punches didn't miss, and several of Stone Free's threads had already wrapped around Illumi.

"ORA ORA ORA!" Illumi broke free after only taking a few punches.

Relying on Stone Free's punching power, he flew further away.

Jon wanted to pursue, but the sound of gunfire came, and Stone Free immediately blocked all the bullets.

Two burly men emerged from the jungle, their eyes blank and dull. Their body postures were also very strange, like zombies. With Stone Free's extraordinary vision, Jon saw the needles on their necks.

They were people controlled by Illumi. Because Jon's Ren was not yet at the point where he could ignore bullets, even with thread enhancement and Ren, he would still feel pain.

They used guns to interfere with Jon, and Illumi took the opportunity to pick up his severed hand and run away without the demeanor of a master.

Jon: "..."
