Bargain.

(Oemitsu POV)

After I arrived at one of the highest places in the entire hideout, I saw something I hasn't expecting. Hisoka's Bungee Gum was stuck into Ponzu's back, with her hanging on it. If he let her go, she will fall 6 floors into , probably, her death.

"Hisoka. I'll courteously ask, could you let her go?" I asked after I turned to look at that fucker's face.

"And why would I?" He asked back, with a sneer while he played with his cards.

"Hmm. She is a precious member of my family. If she dies, I would be a little bit upset, to say the least." I said with a kind smile that did not reached my eyes.

"What would happen if I let her fall down to her death?" He asked again as he took out a Joker card and showed to me. "Isn't that you?"

Ignoring his question, I only looked at his eyes. "Hisoka, you will die if you do that and will lose your fight with Chrollo. Without me, there is no way that you can fight against him peacefully."

He continued to look at me while he shuffled his cards. "You know. I wouldn't mind trading the fight against Chrollo, with an opportunity of fighting you." He commented.

'Such a tough person to deal with. Just talking to him takes more energy than fighting against Bonolenov.' I clenched my right hand before I looked at Ponzu.

"I still am not on your level or, at least, I'm not confident in fighting you in a 1 vs 1, yet. Our fight would be quite boring." I supressed the urge to smack some sense in this fucker.

"Liar. I can feel that your Nen became quite strong. Also, you have an ability that you are hiding. Or should I say that you have a card on your sleeve." He smiled at his own pun.

'There he goes with his creepy smile. Even after getting a lot stronger, this smile still send some chills down my spine.' I turned to looked at him before asking. "How do you know?"

"There is no way that someone as careful as you, would allow the entirety of the Phantom Troupe to know your abilities without having a hidden card." He pointed it out.

"Huff. It seems that your perception is as terrifying as always. Look, Hisoka. I have no interest in fighting against you, at least not right now since I have a couple of things do first. After that, I don't mind giving you a little of my time." I told him.

"How much time do you need?" He asked.

In response, I showed him 3 fingers. "Three years. When I hit 14, I don't mind fighting you. Of course, you also have to defeat Chrollo since I don't want to fight a defeated opponent."

"It is a promise. Now I am more motivated in killing Chrollo. But, if you don't show up, I will kill all the people you care." He threatened me.

"Fufufufufufu. You will never have the opportunity." I smiled since it seemed that the 'negotiations' ended well.

"Be sure to catch her. I don't want to see you sad." After he said that, he release the Bungee Gum that was stuck on Ponzu.

"Wait, wait, waaaaaait!" She screamed before she fell.

'That fucker!' I thought while I ran, jumped out of the window and threw my strings around Ponzu before she hit the floor.

Then I made a cocoon around her and sticked the strings on the building to decrease the fall damage before we hit the ground. But since we were pretty fast, we still hit the ground.

*Thud*.

While the fall damage may have been decreased, it still hurt a little. When I unwrapped her, I was hit by a missile in the shape of a green haired girl. "Thank you, thank you, thank you! Thank you for saving me!" She said that while rubbing her face on mine.

"Huff. Fine, fine. Now, go help out Menchi, she should be facing the target that we need to capture by now, however, I still don't trust in her capabilities to capture someone, she will probably end up killing her without realizing. Especially since Shizuku has high defence and her stubbornness might turn their fight into a death match. With your insects, you should be able to immobilize her using their venom." I told her while I tried to separate from her bear hug.

For some reason she was far stronger than before so I had to use more strength than I wanted.

When she finally separated from me, she said. "You can trust me! I will deal with it quickly. But about you? What will you do?" She asked.

"Hmm. I will go after Hisoka. I still don't trust him to be out of the fight. I want Hisoka to be out while we are capturing one of his colleagues." I said after I placed my hand on my chin.

"Okay. I will send some bees to scout the areas close by and make sure that none of the Phantom Troupe members get reinforcements." She said before she looked at me with a smile and dashed away.

"What a weird girl." I commented before I looked uupwards and saw Hisoka smilling. 'Huff. What a troublesome guy. I kinda want to go back and train with Zeno, at least the training was easier than dealing with this lunatic.' I thought before I climbed the building using my strings.

When I reached the 6th floor, I got right in front of Hisoka.

"Hmm? I thought that you wouldn't fight me today? What made you change your mind? Was that useless little girl?" He asked with a disgusting smile.

"Don't call her useless. But I won't fight you. I'm just making sure that you won't get in the way. Since I know you." I said while resisiting the chills I was getting from his disgusting smile.

"What do you want to do while we wait then?" He asked again.

'What the hell does this lunatic want to do this time?' I thought. "What do you mean?"

"Let's play cards. It is better than getting bored." He took out his deck of cards before he sat on the ground.

This made me even more confused.

'Huff. It truly is impossible to predict him. He is a crazy magician and an interesting individual.' I thought before I also sat down. "Let's do it then, since I need to stay here to make sure that you don't ruin my plans, so I might as well have some fun while doing it." I shrugged.

(Menchi POV)

I was looking at Shizuku who had knives stuck on her legs and one on her left arm, she was bleeding quite a lot too.

"This is getting troublesome if it continues this way, I will end up killing her." I said to myself.

'My ability allows me to control a certain area around 500 meters. After activated, that area is like my own kitchen. I can do whatever I want with my opponents ranging from burning, to stabbing, freezing and even drowning. Of course, that damage has to be inflicted by me.

For example, if I want to stab someone, my ability will not stab my opponent for me. However, it will allow me to create knifes anywhere inside that area and I can control them like they were my own body.

The main reason why Shizuku is on such a bad state, is because she tried to fight me in my area, so she ended up getting attacked by more than 20 knifes all from different sides. But, surprisingly, she managed to deflect some of them, however, the more I sent, the more she failed to deflect.

Like this, she ended up getting stabbed on multiple sides, right now, her upper shirt is destroyed, even her bra has been destroyed. The only thing remaining is her trousers, it is rather unerving to see her breasts free like that but she shows no discomfort or embarrassment in fighting that way.

In fact, this damaged my pride. Seeing her jugs jumping around all the time kinda annoyed me. However, in the end her efforts were futile. She is still standing at this moment, but if this keep up, she will die. This is rather troublesome, I didn't even have to use my other Sub-Nen abilities, I'm just the worst opponent for Shizuku.

My ability allows me to attack her from all sides, while Shizuku has a lot of trouble dealing with multiple projectiles. Which in turn, caused her to be in her current state. Hmm. It doesn't seem like she will give up. Yeah, without a doubt, if this continues, she will die.

It looks like I will have to wait for the Ponzu girl to help me. Out of all of us, she is the only one that I know that has some type of poison that allows to immobilize her opponents.' While I wondered this with a somewhat cruel smile, I saw Ponzu running towards me.

"Huff. I arrived just in time." She said before she send a swarm of bees in Shizuku's direction.

Shizuku, after seeing this, tried to run.

'Hmm. I can't let our objective run away like this... with her legs wounded like that she will not be able to run far. But since I don't want to risk it, I'll have to deal with this as quickly as possible.' I thought before I raised two fingers, two swords went flying on her way and hit both of Shizuku's hands, nailing her into a wall.

"Little girl, I think it is better if you stay put." I told her when I saw the bee swarm sting her.

Like this, she lost consciousness.

"Ponzu girl, will the poison last enough for us to carry her back to base, will Shizuku survive such a trip, after all, she is bleeding quite a lot." I asked.

"I don't know, since I'm not a doctor nor I know one. But yeah, I think she will survive, we just have believe that a Phantom Troupe member is tough enough to last until we go back. My bees have been trained and are especially breaded. Their venom, normally, knocks someone out for an entire day, but if she wakes up, I can just knock her out again." She said.

"But there won't be a problem if you apply it multiple times?"

"Don't worry. She wil not die from it since I have a lot of different poison, venoms and toxins that would kill her instantly if necessary. Hmm. Good idea. I'll make sure she will not try anything funny." She said that while I saw a spider climb Shizuku's pants. "I placed this spider on her pants so that, if necessary, we can drug her again or possibly kill her if the situation requires." She smiled as she saw her spider entering Shizuku's pants.

"Good. This is for the best." I nodded. "Ponzu, take the hostage, and probably our future family member, back to the hideout. Without being seen." I instructed her.

"I only obey Oemitsu's orders, not yours." She suddenly said.

"It is for the best if you secure our hostage, while you do that, I will go and help Vergo carry the rest of the treasure." I told her.

"I know. I just wanted to warn you that I follow Oemitsu, not you. Don't get used to it. I'm only following your order because I thinks it is for the best. If it comes a time in which I doubt you, then I won't obey." She said that before leaving.

'You're so full of yourself, brat.' I shaked my head before going in Vergo's direction.
