In HxH with Doraemon Pocket

Perhaps due to undergoing rigorous poison training from a young age, one could almost say they are immune to all toxins.

Hisoka, evidently, hasn't had such training. Thus, he can only do his best to avoid being injured by Chrollo's blade.

And yet, Hisoka feels a bit irritated. "Are you underestimating me, Chrollo~?"

A flash of killing intent flickers in Hisoka's narrowed eyes, making his teary-eye makeup appear slightly menacing.

"Do you think a mere knife is enough to deal with me, without even using your 'Skill Hunter' ability, not even manifesting your stealing book?!"

"I'm not interested in your abilities, Hisoka," Chrollo smiles. "Besides, stealing abilities from you would be quite troublesome."

"If I truly needed to use abilities against you, I certainly would. But for now... this knife will suffice!!!" Chrollo suddenly pushes off the ground with his toe, charging straight at Hisoka.

At the same time, he deflects three swiftly thrown playing cards from Hisoka with his blade. The surging aura wraps around the blade, slashing fiercely towards Hisoka!

"Clang!!" The playing cards, also infused with aura, collide violently with the blade.

A brilliant spark flashes from the clash between the two. Despite being paper, once imbued with aura, the cards become as hard as steel, if not harder!!

"Hiss!" Using one hand to block with the cards, Hisoka flicks his fingers with the other hand! Two more aura-infused cards shoot straight towards Chrollo's throat, heart, and between his legs.

At such close range, dodging is difficult. But for someone like Chrollo, it's not a problem.

Using the point of contact between the cards and blade as the center, he spins his body to evade the incoming cards.

"Bang!" Utilizing the rotational force from his waist, Chrollo's long leg whips towards Hisoka's chest like a lash.

"Thud!!" The whipping leg collides with Hisoka's upraised right arm, producing a dull sound. At the point of contact, a surge of aura bursts forth!

Hisoka and Chrollo lock eyes in this stance, both with an indescribable flame flickering in their gaze! "Just happened to get an ability that restrains you, Chrollo's determination! A reason to defeat you!!"

"Such formidable strength, as expected of you, Chrollo!!" Hisoka's eyes are ever more immersed in the exhilarating waves of battle. "But I will be the one to win this fight!!"

Aura surges, and at the junction of Hisoka's arm and Chrollo's leg, a pink, sticky aura quickly emerges! "Bungee Gum!!!" In the instant this aura appears, Chrollo swiftly retracts his leg, transforming his palm into a blade.

He quickly slices off the pant leg stuck with aura. Simultaneously, he pushes forward with the poisoned knife in his other hand.

Using this counterforce, both Hisoka and Chrollo retreat backward. A distance is once again established between them. In just one exchange, numerous dangers flashed by.

"It seems exposing my ability too early isn't a good thing?" Hisoka glances at the pants stuck with "Bungee Gum" on the ground.

"You resolved it in such a manner, huh?" His face shows no signs of frustration or seriousness; instead, he continues to smile. "But if I stick the aura to your chin or head, what would you do then, Chrollo? I'm quite curious."

"That won't happen; you won't get such an opportunity," Chrollo calmly smiles. Simultaneously, he gently rubs the foot of the leg that previously clashed with Hisoka. "And your strength, I have a rough idea of it now, Hisoka."

---

Chrollo's eyes deepened slightly. Just now, he had risked direct contact with Hisoka, despite the danger of getting entangled by Hisoka's "Bungee Gum."

His aim was to gauge the true strength of Hisoka's power. After all, Hisoka's arm strength ranks just below Uvogin and Phinks among the Enhancers, second only to Morin.

Even Nobunaga, also an Enhancer, couldn't outmatch Hisoka and found his strength somewhat daunting and admirable.

"Despite being a Transmuter, you possess strength comparable to, or even surpassing, Enhancers. Truly, your talent is extraordinary, which explains your strong confidence in facing me."

Chrollo tapped the ground lightly with his foot. "However, I've roughly estimated your strength."

"And moreover..." Chrollo spread his palm, and with a surge of aura, a peculiar dark red book materialized in his hand. In the center of the book was a blood-red handprint. The black-and-white title, "Skill Hunter," appeared quite eerie.

Flip-flip-flip!! The book opened, quickly turning to a new page. It displayed an image of Owl and his ability, "Fun Fun Cloth"!!

Whoosh!! A large, square, cloak-like cloth appeared in Chrollo's hand. "You're quite unlucky, Hisoka," Chrollo stood straight, the cloth fluttering in the wind. "I happened to acquire an ability that restrains you."

Nen Ability: "Fun Fun Cloth"

Effect: The conjured cloth is infused with a Trait-type aura that can shrink objects. It can wrap around an enemy, shrink them, capture them, and easily secure victory, reverting them to their original state afterward.

Limitation: The ability can only be activated by wrapping the cloth around a person or object, serving only to trap, not to cause harm.

Multiple cloths can be used, but using a second cloth consumes twice the aura of the first, the third twice as much as the second, and so on.

The ability fails if the user's aura is insufficient to support the cloth or if they lose consciousness or die.

This is Owl's Conjurer-type Nen ability, highly effective for trapping enemies. Hisoka's "Bungee Gum" requires sticking to the opponent.

If it sticks to Chrollo's cloth, Hisoka might end up at a disadvantage, facing the risk of being wrapped up. Thus, to Chrollo, this ability perfectly counters Hisoka's Nen.

"Buzz!" As the aura infused the cloth, it grew larger, gradually overshadowing Chrollo's figure.

"Hiding behind the cloth, are you?" Unable to see Chrollo's form, Hisoka's vision was blocked by the cloth. Hisoka licked his lips lightly. "What kind of trick are you planning, Chrollo?"

"Let me see how durable this cloth of yours is!" Swish! Slash! Snap! Hisoka decisively threw several playing cards at the cloth. Whoosh! The powerful force, enough to tear through the air, clearly showed that Hisoka had infused significant aura into these cards.

However, against the rule-bound cloth, mere playing cards were ineffective. Chrollo simply rotated the cloth lightly, and the surging aura on it blocked all three cards.

But... "Three playing cards? No, it's one!" The moment the cloth made contact with the cards, Chrollo immediately sensed something amiss.

The sound of something slicing through the air came, and he quickly leaned back, a strand of hair on his forehead sliced off.

"What a pity," Hisoka's slightly regretful voice echoed. "I was aiming for those eyes of yours that make me uncomfortable."

Chrollo retreated several steps, recalling everything that had just transpired in his mind.

"Hisoka visibly threw three playing cards at me but hid a fourth card in the darkness." "The ability to hide a card is... 'Texture Surprise'!!" Chrollo instantly understood what Hisoka had done.

While launching three playing cards, he secretly used "Texture Surprise" to cover the card with the color of the night, hiding it.

Then, he stuck "Bungee Gum" on the card, using the sticky aura to manipulate the hidden fourth card to attack Chrollo from the side.

The cloth not only blocked his view of Hisoka but also prevented him from noticing Hisoka's actions.

Even while maintaining "Gyo," he couldn't immediately see through Hisoka's intentions. Hisoka's attack was swift, precise, and ruthless!!
