A massive, whale-shaped luxury liner cut through the ocean waves.
On the deck, a wild-looking man with spiked hair and bulging muscles—Uvogin—let out a roar of pure excitement at the sight of an oasis appearing on the horizon.
"Wahahahaha! We finally made it to the Dark Continent! Time for me to have some real fun!"
"Shut up, Uvogin! You're too loud. Get away from me," Shizuku muttered, her pink hair fluttering as she and Nobunaga leaned against the railing with looks of pure annoyance.
"Hard to port! We're gonna hit it! Does anyone even know how to steer this thing?!" Nobunaga barked.
Meanwhile, Shalnark, the blonde-haired boy, peered out with curiosity. "Wow, the scenery actually looks pretty nice~"
A woman with a killer figure in professional attire—Pakunoda—smiled at the chaos before turning toward the cabin with a gentle call. "Chrollo~ come out and take a look~"
"Coming," a voice replied.

Inside the cabin, Chrollo sat before a mirror, long since used to the noise outside.
The young man in the reflection had stray locks of hair falling over his forehead, calm black eyes, and that unmistakable inverted cross tattoo centered on his brow. Massive blue orbs dangled from his ears. It was a perfect face, yet it lacked a certain "spark," looking more like a polished mask.
Chrollo sighed. Honestly, he wasn't even from this world. He was a "transmigrator" from Earth.
Back on Earth, he was just a regular college student —a guy obsessed with shonen manga and web novels. His life took a sharp turn on his way to get some snail noodles when he ran into the ultimate cliché: a fleet of runaway trucks, a broken traffic light, and a dazed driver. Not just one truck, mind you—a whole fleet.
When he opened his eyes again, he was Chrollo Lucilfer, the feared leader of the Phantom Troupe.
Seriously, did I offend someone by liking snail noodles? Getting hit by a whole convoy...
The Hunter x Hunter world is a nightmare where regular people die every day. Disasters, gangs, criminals—it's a mess. And he was the boss of the most notorious criminal gang in the world. There was no "laying low."
He'd actually thought about ditching them to go hide in a corner somewhere, read some manga, and eat noodles in peace. But trouble kept knocking. He tried to take a vacation; the tour took him to Kukuroo Mountain. He went to a nature reserve; it turned out to be NGL. He stayed home to play video games; he got sucked into Greed Island. He even went to a magic show and ran into that creepy clown, Hisoka.
Talk about bad luck.
So, he gave up. If he had to be the leader, he'd be the leader. He just had to act like Chrollo and not get caught. Plus, having a squad of elites who follow your every command is actually pretty sweet.
Using his knowledge of the plot, Chrollo worked hard to save the "Spiders" from Hisoka and Kurapika. Now, they were all on the Black Whale, heading for the Dark Continent. He'd even achieved something the original Chrollo hadn't: during the power struggle on the ship, he successfully absorbed the three artifacts of the Kakin Empire—the Seed Urn, the Lotus Throne, and the Auspicious Pill.
His Nen ability, Skill Hunter, had completely evolved.

Thanks to the artifacts, Skill Hunter was now a digital book interface. Chrollo could flip through it mentally, and multiple pages could be open at once. His hands were finally free. No more bookmarks, no more restrictions.
But one thing bothered him: Devil Fruit abilities? Is my Nen bugged? This is the Hunter world... that doesn't fit the vibe.
He pushed the thought aside and walked onto the deck. The sea breeze caught his hair as he looked toward the horizon. An island was coming into view—golden sands, lush green forests, and seagulls circling above.
"Is this the Dark Continent?" Even Chrollo felt a flicker of excitement.
But as the ship got closer, he got confused. This place looked... a bit too bright? And way smaller than he expected. Was that the "Gatekeeper" standing on the shore?
Wait. No.
As the Black Whale pulled in, the figure became clear: a middle part, iconic overalls, a huge grin with bright white teeth... and a very familiar mustache.
Is that... Gold Roger?
Where the hell am I? Is this still Hunter x Hunter?
Chrollo kept his cool on the outside, but his mind was racing. The man on the shore—Gol D. Roger—stepped forward in his captain's coat. He looked at Chrollo with a nostalgic, admiring gaze, like he was looking at a younger version of himself.
"Another group of youngsters setting sail with big dreams, eh?" He laughed, clapping Chrollo on the shoulder. "Hahaha! Kids..."
He spread his arms wide, his voice booming like a proclamation to the world. "Go find it! Go find the One Piece! I left everything this world has to offer in that one place!"
A news coo flew overhead, the camera flash "clicking" as it captured this "historic" moment.
---
Chrollo's face froze.
Good news: The Black Whale reached land. Bad news: This isn't the Dark Continent. It's the One Piece world.
Chrollo felt his "cool boss" persona slipping. Behind him, the Troupe members were in awe. As expected of the Boss! Facing such a weird situation and he's still so calm!
Uvogin stepped past Chrollo and looked down at Roger. "Are you Don Freecss? Tell me where the Five Great Calamities are, now!"
(Uvogin's internal checklist: Nitro Rice, Trinity Water, etc.)
Roger just kept smiling. "Kids... go find the One Piece. I hid everything there."
"Where is it?" Uvogin asked.
"The end of the Grand Line."
Uvogin nodded. "Got it. The 'miracles' are at the One Piece. Let's go." He headed back to the engine room to start the ship.
Chrollo was speechless. Are you serious, Uvo? You're actually having a conversation across two different series right now?
Family, I'm in the One Piece world and Roger just told me to find his treasure. What do I do? Waiting online for advice, it's urgent...

While Chrollo and his Spiders set off, other survivors from the Black Whale were being washed up across this new world:
Marineford: A blonde young man with a constant, harmless-looking smile—Pariston—crawled out of the water. He wrung out his clothes, looking at the massive naval fortress with a deepening grin.
Fish-Man Island: A scruffy man with spiky black hair and incredibly bright eyes—Ging Freecss—looked around at the underwater paradise with pure curiosity.
Mary Geoise: Ten hunters with distinct animal features—the Zodiacs—stepped onto the land of the "Gods" with expressionless faces.
Wano Country: In a dark alley, a slim young man with empty black eyes—Illumi—stood up, brushed off the dust, and blended into the crowd.
The West Coast: A man with red hair and clown makeup emerged from the waves. As the water washed away some of his makeup, his handsome face was revealed. Hisoka licked his lips.
"I survived~ ♡" He hummed a little tune, looking at the unknown continent with delight. "This is getting interesting ♪. I can feel it... so many 'unripe fruits' waiting to be picked~ ♡. And of course... Chrollo!!!"
His killing intent flared for a second before he went back to normal. "It seems Illumi survived too~ Oh, there are so many strong people in this world~ What's a guy to do~? Hum de dum~ ♪♪♪"
