On the beach.
The sounds of battle came to an abrupt halt, leaving only silence in their wake.
Razor stood quietly where he was, with no intention of moving at all.
His body was completely unscathed, yet his face shifted between shock and confusion, his expressions vividly animated.
Moses glanced at the black tendrils spreading across Razor's body and the Eye of Sight that had sprouted from his back, now suspended above the back of his head.
Just moments ago-
Kyoka Suigetsu was successfully activated.
The powerful Emitter in front of him fell directly into the world of illusion.
That third, undetectable shadow and the black sword piercing through his chest… both were products of the illusion.
'No reward, huh…'
Moseswaited for a few seconds, but the depths of his consciousness were still very quiet.
'I thought I could get a reward...'
'It seems that Perception is not satisfied with this battle, or perhaps its standards had risen once again.
Moses didn't dwell on it.
His current strength is already top-tier, so it is obviously unlikely that he will be able to frequently receive combat rewards from Perception.
Moreover, there is no other villain as popular as the Phantom Troupe.
By annihilating the Phantom Troupe in one fell swoop, Moses has unlocked the unique 'Legendary Reward Box', and it was obvious that he wouldn't receive another reward of that magnitude again.
Unless…
He went to Kukuroo Mountain and wiped out the Zoldyck Family.
But it is no longer a question of 'whether he wanted to do it' but a question of 'whether he can do it'.
Putting Zeno and Silva aside, there was still that old monster in the Zoldyck Family who could rival Netero...
That was likely the fundamental reason the Zoldyck Family remained untouchable.
'Hisoka is still very useful, so there's no harm in keeping him. As for Illumi... I should find a chance to take him out quietly. Maybe I can squeeze out one last benefit.'
Defeating Razor without receiving a reward made Moses start planning ahead.
Thinking it over...
He feels that Illumi was likely the only viable target left, though his current status was uncertain.
'I'll worry about it later.'
Moses cut off the train of thought at the right time and raised his right hand toward the sea.
Whoosh-
Aura emanated from the palm of his hand, like a light bulb, flashing intermittently three times at the sea surface.
This is a signal.
It meant he had taken care of the smuggling problem on his end.
Out at sea, on the lifeboat-
When Biscuit saw Moses's signal, she immediately started rowing toward the shore.
Moments later-
She reached the area near the rip current.
But when she got here, the lifeboat could no longer go further, so she could only swim across.
Splash.
Biscuit leapt into the water and quickly swam to the shore.
Ignoring her drenched clothes, she briskly walked toward Moses.
Moses stood still, waiting for Biscuit to wade through the shallow waters.
"He…"
As she drew closer, Biscuit's gaze fell on the motionless Razor, and a hint of surprise flashed across her face.
"Your Manipulation-Type Ability?"
She turned her gaze and looked at Moses beside her, and the surprise in her eyes became more intense.
Moses nodded in acknowledgment, then said, "I'll explain it later. Let's get onto the island first."
"Okay."
Biscuit suppressed her doubts and responded.
Moses then turned his gaze back to Razor.
Under his gaze, Razor reached into his pocket and pulled out an authority card.
[-007 Green List]
The card displayed an image of a book, its edges shimmering with a green glow, floating at a tilted angle in midair.
Within that green light, a neatly arranged list of IDs could be faintly seen.
"Green List, On."
Razor used the authority card numbered -007 under his subjective consciousness.
As the golden glow dissipated-
Nothing appeared to happen.
But Moses knew that the card effect had taken effect, and they would no longer trigger the warning system of the Greed Island.
In fact-
Every player who entered Greed Island through legitimate means was automatically granted the effects of the Green List during their teleportation.
"Let's go."
Moses glanced at Razor, who remained frozen in place, still holding up the card, then turned and headed toward the distant forest.
Biscuit followed closely behind.
Before entering the woods, she cast a final glance at Razor.
She could sense the formidable aura surrounding Razor, but she could not see any signs of him being affected by the Manipulation-Type Ability.'
'How the hell did Moses pull that off?'
'Moreover, he has already developed so many abilities...'
'And now he also has a Manipulation-Type Ability?'
'What kind of monstrous freak could pull that off?'
Biscuit withdrew her gaze and turned to look at Moses's back.
'When we first met, he was just a young boy with immature Nen Techniques.'
'Now, just a few years later, he'd become so unfathomable.'
"Kyoka Suigetsu."
Moses, who was walking at the front, suddenly spoke.
Biscuit, who was in deep thought, was slightly startled when she heard this.
Moses continued walking forward and explained, "This is one of my Manipulation-Type Abilities. As you just saw, that Game Master was affected by my Kyoka Suigetsu."
"…"
Upon hearing this, Biscuit's face turned strange.
Moses looked back at Biscuit, who had a strange expression, then retracted his gaze and looked into the depths of the woods ahead, and said softly:
"Once someone's caught by Kyoka Suigetsu, the manipulation holds unless they enter Zetsu. In other words, he'll remain under its influence until his 'battery' runs out. But if there are companions to help, it will be a different story."
Bang!
Biscuit slapped Moses on the back.
Moses's body jolted, and he quickly turned back to glance at Biscuit, and asked with raised his eyebrows, "What was that for?"
"You idiot! Don't go around blabbing your abilities so easily! And I'm not interested in knowing all this mess of yours."
Biscuit put her hands on her hips and her words were full of preaching.
In that moment, she really resembled Cheadle in her nag mode.
"Tsk, the way you looked just now, it was almost as if the words 'I really want to know' were written directly on your face."
Moses rolled his eyes at Biscuit.
The corner of Biscuit's mouth twitched slightly, and she sighed: "Moses... You're getting less and less adorable, you know that?"
"I've never been adorable, have I?"
Facing forward again, Moses added in a calm tone, "Besides, you are not an outsider."
"…"
Biscuit was suddenly silent.
'Ugh...'
'I really want to take back what I just said.'
She shook her fists and shouted in her heart.
Moses didn't know about Biscuit's inner turmoil, so he shifted to the main point: "This ability is the key to our successful smuggling, and it is also an important asset for us to get the Blue Planet later."
If one had to rate the difficulty of smuggling into Greed Island…
It is undoubtedly the highest A grade.
Even Netero would probably end up laughing it off... before inevitably getting expelled.
Frankly, except for some abilities and existences that cannot be explained by common sense, Moses was likely the only person in the world capable of pulling off this smuggling stunt.
Once this was over, no matter how strong Ging's psychological quality is, he might have to do a double take.
"So what's my part in this o?"
Biscuit shoved aside any lingering girlish thoughts. Although smuggling in like this was thrilling, she couldn't shake the feeling she was just tagging along for the ride.
Rustle-
Before Moses could answer, a faint sound stirred from deeper within the forest.
Turning toward the noise, Moses smiled and said, "There you go. Time for you to get to work."
"I knew there had to be some part for me."
Biscuit shook her head slightly and looked towards the source of the sound.
A man with braided hair came out from the shadows, obviously coming for Moses and Biscuit.
