With Ope Ope no Mi in Marvel (Resident Evil, Marvel, Harry Potter)

"Kurapika killed Kubee, damn it. After seeing Wo Jin, I should have expected this," Daniel thought, looking at Kubee's corpse with frustration.

Among the many abilities of the brigade members, Shalnark and Kubee's abilities were the most useful to him, especially Kubee's "God's Left Hand, Devil's Right Hand." It was an excellent support ability, on par with Pakunoda's vacuum. If Daniel hadn't already extracted the ability "Unbelievable Convenience" from Owl, he wouldn't have been so indifferent to Pakunoda's vacuum ability earlier.

Although Pakunoda's vacuum appeared to have a larger internal space than Owl's Unbelievable Convenience, this was actually due to the difference in their strengths. With enough Nen, it wouldn't be difficult to cover an entire city using Unbelievable Convenience.

However, Unbelievable Convenience wasn't invincible. Similar to Machi's Nen threads, the larger it was, the more fragile it became. For instance, someone as powerful as Netero could easily break free if Owl used Unbelievable Convenience on him.

When the strength of Nen users is not vastly different, the attributes of their Nen abilities are crucial. However, if the power gap is significant, the attribute restraint becomes less important.

Among the five top Nen users in the Hunter world, three are enhancement types. This highlights the importance of strength in Nen abilities; even Netero was an enhancement type.

"Dead is dead, I suppose." Although he wanted Kubee's Nen ability, since Kubee was already killed by Kurapika, Daniel couldn't possibly trouble Kurapika.

"Shalnark, what's going on?" As Daniel was feeling frustrated over Kubee's death, Phinks and Feitan also noticed Daniel and the captured Shalnark. Seeing Shalnark's condition, their expressions changed immediately.

The reason Feitan didn't recognize Daniel was simple. When Daniel captured Owl and Machi, he looked different, and Owl hadn't seen his true face. It was only when he killed Nobunaga that Daniel revealed his true face.

"Run! Tell the leader to retreat and disappear," Shalnark shouted urgently at the two.

"Ah." Shalnark's words and expression made Phinks and Feitan's faces change again. After exchanging a glance, they nodded. Feitan immediately rushed towards the auction house building, while Phinks stayed behind, keeping a close eye on Daniel.

As long-time comrades, Phinks and Feitan understood Shalnark's character well. His words made them realize they were facing a formidable enemy.

The Phantom Troupe had survived so long not only due to their strength but also because of their caution. They weren't just reckless brutes.

Like in the original story, after Wo Jin's death, the Troupe used Kubee's ability to fake their deaths and create the illusion of their demise. Moreover, after receiving Neon's prophecy, Chrollo immediately considered retreating. If not for Hisoka altering the prophecy, the Troupe would have disappeared long ago.

Chrollo's cautious nature was evident in his battle with Hisoka in Heaven's Arena. In the Hunter world, there's no such thing as true invincibility; only by being cautious can one survive.

Even someone as strong as Meruem, who could withstand Netero's full power without a scratch, was ultimately outwitted. Although the Phantom Troupe was formidable, they could easily lose members if someone targeted them strategically, as Kurapika did. His restriction and vow targeted the Troupe specifically, allowing him to kill Wo Jin despite only half a year of Nen training.

Even now, if Chrollo hadn't hired Illumi to assassinate the Ten Dons in advance, he would likely have been killed by Zeno and Silva Zoldyck.

With enough money, the Zoldyck family would take action, even if Silva was wary of Chrollo. Later, Chrollo even hired Illumi to kill Hisoka.

"Did Feitan just flee? That doesn't seem like him, or did Shalnark's words contain a hidden message?" Daniel wondered, watching Feitan leave. Feitan, known for his fearless nature, fleeing was unexpected. The only explanation was that Shalnark's words carried a coded message.

"Still, thinking you can just leave underestimates me." With this thought, Daniel moved swiftly, using Soru to instantly surpass Feitan and block his path.

"Move." Without breaking stride, Feitan charged at Daniel, his left-hand sword infused with powerful Nen energy aimed at Daniel's neck.

"Did you forget about me?" As Daniel intercepted Feitan, Phinks attempted to reach the bound Shalnark, but Kurapika intercepted him with his chains.

Kurapika, though uncertain of the situation, recognized Daniel. Despite their limited interaction, they had graduated from the same Hunter exam. Moreover, Gon and Killua had mentioned Daniel to him.

Even if Kurapika didn't know Daniel, the surrounding circumstances made it clear that Daniel was an enemy of the Phantom Troupe, giving them a common foe.

"I don't need your ability." Daniel had no particular interest in Feitan's transformation-type Nen ability, guessing it had powerful explosive capabilities, which he didn't need. He already had sufficient combat strength and required more support abilities.

With this thought, Daniel faced Feitan's incoming sword, using his Lingxi One Finger technique. He caught the sword between his right index and middle fingers, then kicked Feitan's left arm, breaking it with a crack. Feitan's body flew back, crashing heavily into a black car, crushing it.

After kicking Feitan away, Daniel turned the sword in his hand, gripping it firmly.

"Kurapika versus Phinks. Kurapika seems injured, probably from a three-on-one fight earlier," Daniel observed the battle without intervening.

Tonight marked the end of the Phantom Troupe, and it was Kurapika's chance for revenge. Though he had killed one Troupe member, it likely wasn't enough to quell his hatred.

"Still standing, huh?" As Daniel approached Shalnark, he sensed a powerful, chaotic Nen energy. Turning, he saw Feitan, who had risen from the crushed car. Despite his arms hanging limply, his intense Nen energy made the surrounding air sizzle and heat up rapidly.

Feitan, despite his shaky stance, was chanting softly, "Pain Packer, transform into scorching heat, unforgivable sinner, punishable by death."

As he chanted, a two-meter diameter fireball began to form above him. From its color and the surrounding heat, it was clear this wasn't ordinary fire but high-temperature flames.

"Looks like a wide-range attack. Isn't he worried about harming his comrades, or does he have the resolve to sacrifice them to defeat the enemy?" Daniel noticed Phinks and Shalnark's faces showing slight relief, understanding their trust in Feitan's attack.

The Phantom Troupe was ruthless to their enemies but showed a different attitude towards their comrades.

Swoosh.

From the auction house building's 32nd-floor window, Chrollo, seeing the situation below, had a rare moment of concern and gloom.

Four floating Nen fish swam around the room, while three people were pinned to the wall, their bodies severely mutilated yet showing no signs of pain, only eerie smiles.

Fish in the Dark, a stolen Nen ability, could only be used in enclosed spaces, with the number of fish depending on Chrollo's Nen.

"Is this the end? Then let's make it a grand finale," Chrollo said, taking out a piece of paper from his pocket. Reading the text, he waved his hand, turning the paper to ashes. He then resolutely opened the door and walked out.

"I can't let you use that move." Seeing the high-temperature fireball forming, Daniel moved swiftly, appearing in front of Feitan and decapitating him with a single strike.

Boom.

As Feitan's head slid off his neck, the fireball exploded. Although not at full power, the blast's impact was still significant.

"You can't die yet." Daniel ran out of the blast range, extending his left hand, "Room, Slaughterhouse."

Once out of the fiery explosion's reach, Daniel used his Ope Ope no Mi power to swap Kurapika and Shalnark out of danger. He had intended to keep his Ope Ope no Mi ability as a trump card, combining it with his Nen to develop a special tactic.

He considered it a trump card because his mastery of the Ope Ope no Mi was far superior to Law's, not only in research and learning but also in combat. He even felt close to awakening its full potential, suspecting his understanding of the trait-based Nen ability was linked to the Ope Ope no Mi's influence.

"That was powerful," Daniel thought, relieved as he looked at the devastated scene. If he hadn't acted quickly, he would have been fine, but Kurapika and Shalnark might not have survived.

Shalnark's life didn't matter much; Daniel could forgo his Nen ability. But if Kurapika died, it would be a waste. Kurapika was his favorite character in Hunter x Hunter, unlike Gon, who he felt indifferent towards.

The scene before Daniel was chaotic: melted cars and scorched ground, especially at the explosion's center, now charred black.

The heavier the injury, the stronger the explosion. This was Feitan's Nen ability, possibly influenced by his masochistic tendencies.

"Cough, cough." Amidst the chaos, Daniel heard violent coughing and saw the heavily injured Phinks crawling out from the rubble.

Phinks's quick thinking saved him; realizing he couldn't escape Feitan's attack, he used his energy to create a pit in the ground and hide. Despite this, he still ended up severely injured.

"He's all yours." Daniel glanced at Kurapika before dragging Shalnark towards the hotel building.

"Bringing you along is a hassle." Once inside, feeling no immediate presence nearby, Daniel knocked Shalnark unconscious with a single strike. He then took out a box, enlarged it, and placed Shalnark inside.

"The first thing I need to perfect is definitely the Unbelievable Convenience." With this thought, Daniel activated his En to survey the building for any information.

"Is this a massacre?" Sensing the surroundings through En, Daniel headed towards the twentieth floor of the building. According to his perception, it was the only floor with any life signs; the rest of the building was lifeless.

On the twentieth floor, in a large banquet hall, the area originally meant for grand events, two groups occupied opposite sides. On one side stood the Zoldyck family members Silva and Zeno, while the other side was led by Chrollo and the remaining Troupe members.

Both sides were cautious, neither making the first move. Silva, having fought Chrollo before, was aware of his strength. Even with Zeno, a veteran fighter, on his side, he didn't dare to act rashly.

Chrollo, on the other hand, wasn't focused on Silva and Zeno. He had gathered all the Troupe members, waiting for someone—specifically, Daniel.

In the original story, Chrollo obtained the "Angel's Auto Memoir" ability from Neon. Neon also foretold his future. This time, the prophecy indicated a crisis for all Troupe members, leaving no room for escape. Even if they fled now, the outcome would be the same. This made Chrollo abandon the idea of retreat.

Chrollo's doubt in the prophecy also played a role in his decision. He was biding time, waiting for Illumi to resolve the situation, so he could hire Silva and Zeno for a high price.

Had the Zoldyck family not had the rule of not accepting contracts from the target, Chrollo would already be negotiating with them. The Zoldyck family wouldn't betray their employer, killing the first contractor after accepting a job from the target.

"Didn't expect to see such a powerful En. Even Netero might not have one this strong," Chrollo remarked, noticing Daniel's En. He turned to his members, giving a signal.

Understanding the gesture, the Troupe members prepared themselves for a final stand.

"Let's end this," Chrollo muttered, ready to face the approaching storm.
