A battered man with spiky hair lies face-down in the dirt, sweat flying as he gasps for breath. Biscuit stands tall in her black-and-white dress, hands on her hips. "Well." she remarks calmly.

WELCOME BACK." Close-ups show Killua and Gon reacting as Biscuit explains, "THE OPPONENT… SINCE HE FLEW THROUGH THE AIR AFTER ATTACKING YOU… …SAME FOR ME."

Biscuit, seen from behind with her hair in pigtails, speaks while looking at the fallen opponent. "HE WOULD HAVE CHANGED INTO A CARD, AND WE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET IT, BUT… IF HE HAD BEEN A GAME CHARACTER…" Gon and Killua stand nearby as a bright flash erupts. Biscuit remarks, "THE LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY TO OBTAIN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN D." She walks away across the rocky terrain. In a close-up, Biscuit asks Killua, "HOW LONG DID THAT LUCK LAST?" while noting, "SINCE YOU CAME TO GREED ISLAND, FROM WHAT I KNOW, YOU HAVE ESCAPED DEATH TWICE." Killua replies, "BY CHANCE… HE DIED." Biscuit adds, "IF YOU HAD MET HIM ALONE, IT MAY HAVE BEEN GAME OVER FOR YOU." Gon looks concerned as Killua says, "Bisk-san… JUST Bisk IS FINE." The page number 168 appears in the corner.

Under a bright sky, Biscuit leaps high with arms outstretched while Gon and Killua watch from below. She lands and turns to the boys with a bright smile. "If you insist on using a suffix, you can say Bisk-chama," she says cutely. Killua questions the nickname while Gon looks on. Biscuit explains, "Of course, because I want to perfect... I want to clear the game." Killua asks why she came to Greed Island. Biscuit answers that she seeks a specific stone found only on the island. She reveals her goal is a gem, shown as card #81 of the fixed slots: the Blue Planet. Gon stands small against the rocky landscape and asks, "A gem?" Biscuit confirms her aim. From the darkness, Gon and Killua declare they also want to clear the game. Biscuit asks, "And you?" Gon and Killua stand together as Biscuit explains, "We entered Greed Island because I'm searching for him and I'm trying to find clues." Gon reacts with surprise, "Ooh!" Biscuit continues, "Truth is... my father and his companions are the ones who made the game."

Biscuit stands with hands clasped, acknowledging that Gon’s father is famous. She asks if Gon knows him. Gon looks surprised and says "Jin!?" Biscuit continues that among Nen users there are not more than five people like him in the entire world. She raises her hand as a bright flash erupts behind Gon and Killua. Biscuit asks the boys to postpone finding the gem so she can teach them Nen. Gon and Killua react with shock and excitement. Biscuit places a hand on her chest and asks if that is okay, noting she is not as kind as Wing. The rocky cliff face looms beside them.

Killua looks ahead and says, "THAT'S FINE." Biscuit, standing tall in her black dress, asks "AND YOU?" Gon answers enthusiastically from below, "YES!!" Killua confirms, "THEN WE START IMMEDIATELY," and Biscuit replies, "OKAY." In a rocky cavern, a large spiky-haired man lies coughing violently on the ground while Biscuit, Gon, and Killua stand watching. Biscuit opens a book labeled "TRAP CARD" and declares, "I'M OFFERING YOU A CHANCE." The injured man glares up as Biscuit commands, "GET UP! TAKE OUT ALL YOUR CARDS."

Biscuit holds up two fingers and states, "TWO WEEKS. THIS IS HOW YOU MUST AVOID THE ATTACKS OF THESE TWO." She explains the conditions: "IF YOU GET A CRITICAL HIT, OR ARE IN AGONY, OR YOU CAN NO LONGER STAND... IF YOU MANAGE TO DO IT, I'LL LET YOU LEAVE... THEN I WILL KILL YOU." Gon and Killua react with surprise. Biscuit asks, "HOWEVER, THERE'S ONE RULE," and Genthru replies, "YES. EXACTLY."

In the open stone quarry, Gon, Killua, and Biscuit face a tall, scarred man standing alone. A commanding voice states, "YOU MUST STAY IN THIS STONE QUARRY." Another warns, "YOU CAN'T LEAVE THIS PLACE." The three listen closely as the rules are repeated for them. "IT'S THE SAME FOR YOU: DON'T LEAVE THIS PLACE," the man says. Killua asks, "WHAT ABOUT US?" The reply comes cold: "I WILL KILL YOU IF THIS OCCURS." Biscuit hears, "IF YOU VIOLATE THIS RULE, IT'S A DISQUALIFICATION." The man continues, "YOU WILL BE PUNISHED." He adds, "IF YOU LEAVE, OR CAN'T BEAT HIM WITHIN TWO WEEKS..." Binolt smirks and answers, "YEAH..." Killua confirms, "YOU'RE BINOLT, RIGHT?"

Biscuit leaps onto a pile of rocks and points at Binolt, declaring his favorite dish is human flesh, especially that of twenty-year-old girls. Binolt, the blacklist hunter and bounty hunter, stands with arms crossed, his shirt torn and body marked. A panel shows his wanted poster reading "BINOLT" and "22-YEAR-OLD." Killua and Gon watch intently. Biscuit raises her hand and shouts "BEGIN!" The scene widens to show the quarry again with the four figures positioned for the fight, a small "BEGIN!" effect visible near Biscuit.

Genthru kneels on the rocky ground, his shirt torn open and bloodied, breathing heavily as he clutches his side. Gon and Killua watch from nearby with tense expressions. A voice calls out that Genthru is measuring the recovery capacity of his wounds and questions why they are just going to let him do that. Another voice demands to know what they are waiting for. Gon and Killua react with shock, their eyes widening. Genthru begins to rise, turning his back as he stands. In the distance, a small figure is visible on the ground. Gon and Killua stare intently. A massive impact erupts with violent motion lines and debris flying as Genthru launches forward with tremendous force.

Genthru lunges forward with a powerful strike, his arm extended as he shouts 'shuu!'. Gon and Killua are sent flying backward through the air from the force of the blow. Gon tumbles across the ground while Killua lands in a crouch. Genthru stands ready with his hands positioned for another attack. Gon looks up with a determined yet strained expression, sweat on his face. Killua charges in low with intense focus, his eyes sharp. A close-up shows Gon's shocked face with motion lines and sweat drops as he reacts to the sudden assault.

A close-up shows a sweat-drenched face with wide eyes reacting in shock. Nearby, a battered fighter coughs violently, body shaking from the impact. Thought text reads: 'IF HE HADN'T BEEN INJURED ALREADY... AND IF HIS MOVEMENTS HADN'T BEEN SLOWED...' A suited man with a beard watches intently from the side, hand near his chin. A round object is struck with a sharp 'ZAA!' sound. Gon suddenly appears, eyes wide as an arm reaches toward him; he gasps 'AH!' as the hand snaps past. In a wide desert landscape, Killua stands atop a sphere on the left while Genthru kneels in the center, hands planted on the cracked ground. Gon runs in from the right. Large circular thought bubbles overlay the scene: 'I CAN'T EVEN GET CLOSE TO HIM...!!!' and 'I CAN'T GET THROUGH HIS GUARD...!!!'

Killua's hand, marked with a chain and 'NO', hesitates with the thought 'SHOULD I USE IT...?' His face shows strain. Internal monologue continues: 'I HAVE TO ACCUMULATE IT BEFORE I CAN EMIT AN ELECTRIC WAVE...!!! THE OPPONENT WON'T WAIT FOR THAT... I'M NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO EASILY DO THIS.' and 'I HAVEN'T TESTED IT ON PEOPLE YET... I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH DAMAGE IT WILL INFLICT ON PEOPLE YET. (AND I HAVEN'T RECHARGED IN A WHILE.)' Biscuit, in her small form, holds a cluster of objects and declares 'WE'LL SWITCH IN SIX HOURS!!' while telling Gon 'YOU REST FIRST! I'LL KEEP ON ATTACKING HIM!' and 'WE'RE GOING FOR A LONG BATTLE!' Gon dashes across the wasteland. Genthru's close-up shows him smirking 'HEHEHE, I DIDN'T ASK FOR THAT MUCH.' with thoughts about recovering considerably within a week and planning to eliminate them after full recovery, noting 'NOT SLEEPING FOR A WEEK, IT'S FEASIBLE.'

Gon stands alone amid cracked boulders and uneven rocky ground, scanning the terrain with a thoughtful gaze as a question mark appears overhead. He steps forward, considering the stones around him. "A stone... that's useful..." he murmurs to himself. From a distance he appears small against the vast cliff faces. He pauses, then clenches his right fist tightly. In a sudden burst of motion, Gon lunges forward and drives his fist out with explosive force, surrounded by jagged impact lines and crackling energy. Below the dramatic strike, Biscuit, Killua, and Genthru watch intently; Biscuit's eyes widen, Killua stares upward with an open mouth, and Genthru's face tightens in focus.

Gon charges through collapsing rocks as loud rumbling and crashing sounds fill the air. He braces against a massive boulder, muscles straining. With a mighty heave he lifts the enormous stone overhead, shouting "HAH!!!!!" in triumph. In smaller panels Gon climbs the rock face, pushing upward with determined effort. Biscuit watches from the side, reacting with an impressed "Ooh." The final image shows Gon holding the huge boulder steady, veins and motion lines radiating outward from the strain and success of the lift.

Motion lines streak across the page as a massive boulder hurtles through the air with Gon clinging to its surface. Below, Genthru kneels on the ground, focused. In the next instant, Genthru raises the enormous stone like a shield to block an incoming attack. Impact bursts and motion lines explode outward as the rock absorbs the strike. Gon is sent flying backward from the force. Genthru remains crouched, gripping the stone firmly. In the bottom panels, Biscuit hugs an unseen figure while speaking. Genthru glares forward and mutters about the brat. Gon lands in a ready stance, scissors still extended, and confirms that the attack failed to cut through the huge stone.

Genthru stands in a low, dynamic crouch against a plain background, body angled forward with knees bent and one arm extended. His spiky hair is disheveled, eyes wide, and mouth slightly open. He holds a small object in his right hand while his left hand rests near his knee. Torn fabric or paper flutters from his belt area.
