With Ope Ope no Mi in Marvel (Resident Evil, Marvel, Harry Potter)

"Time's up. What a pity." As time passed, a minute went by quickly. During that time, Nobunaga simply clenched his teeth and glared at Daniel Davis. If looks could kill, Daniel would have been riddled with holes.

For Nobunaga, the information about his comrades and Machi's safety were equally important. If it had been any other brigade member in his place, Daniel's threats would have been ignored, including by fellow female member Pakunoda. Among the entire brigade, only Machi and Nobunaga had a slight semblance of normality, and even that was only slight.

Mostly originating from Meteor City, their personalities, thoughts, and worldviews greatly differed from the outside world. While Hisoka was considered quite perverted, he was nothing compared to the brigade members, who often killed without provocation.

"He's not talking. How about you? If you tell me the brigade's information, I won't harm you and will release you immediately. How's that for a deal?" Seeing Nobunaga's clenched teeth and the blood trickling from his lips, Daniel turned his attention to Machi, releasing her restraints to allow her to speak.

Machi, now free to speak, merely shot Daniel a cold glare before adopting a nonchalant attitude, as if she didn't care what he did to her.

"You all have such deep comradeship," Daniel sighed lightly.

"Forget it. I'm not like your Phantom Brigade, resorting to any means. I'm different; I'm a good person." Daniel waved his hand, binding Machi to another pillar.

Daniel entertained the thought of having a serious conversation with Machi, but he would never actually do such a thing. In fact, he despised those kinds of people. He was pure-hearted, after all.

"There are things I won't do, but I'm not joking about eliminating the brigade. Now, I'll give you a chance. Today, I'll only kill one of you. Choose who dies first." As he spoke, Daniel materialized a katana.

For mainstream Nen users in the Hunter world, conjurers usually had special effects. If one simply conjured an ordinary weapon, it would be better to buy a real one. Even Nobunaga, a reinforcement type, could conjure his katana if he trained.

The reason they didn't do this was that a Nen user's aura was limited. Wasting it on conjuring a non-special weapon was disadvantageous in battle. Unless they reached Netero's level, every bit of aura was crucial and couldn't be wasted.

"You bastard," Nobunaga finally relaxed his expression. "Then kill me. I'm a main combatant in the brigade. If you want revenge, killing me is the right choice. Machi is just support. You've seen her Nen ability; she's the brigade's medic and rarely kills."

"Nobunaga, what nonsense are you talking about?" Machi shouted after hearing Nobunaga's words.

"I'm not talking nonsense. You said you're here for revenge and that you're different from us. Machi hasn't done those things. If you kill her, you're committing an injustice. That would make you no different from us."

"Nobunaga, shut up."

"I understand your point. Since you said so, fine. I won't kill her, but that only applies to her. I won't spare the rest of the brigade. So, you can die in peace."

With that, Daniel plunged the katana through Nobunaga's heart, pinning him to the pillar behind him.

"This is what you said. Keep your word." Nobunaga, not immediately dead, spat blood and stared at Daniel, as if confirming something.

"I have no reason to lie to you now. Honestly, I have a good impression of you. But unfortunately, you're a brigade member." Daniel sighed. Of all the brigade members, Nobunaga and Machi left the best impression on him. But liking them didn't change his resolve to eliminate the brigade.

"I've never regretted being in the brigade."

"I know. That's why I won't hesitate to kill you."

"Do you know how many families have suffered because of the people you've killed? Seeking revenge against the brigade isn't just my mission alone. Remember the Scarlet Eyes, one of the world's seven beauties? Your brigade exterminated their clan, sparing no one, and even gouged out their eyes. The survivor of that clan is here, desperately seeking vengeance. Oh, and the one who captured Uvogin was him. Uvogin is probably dead by now."

"Uvogin, it seems we'll meet in another world."

"It's over." As Machi opened her mouth to speak, Daniel instantly appeared beside her and knocked her out.

"Such a hassle. I need to master that Convenient Large Cloth ability soon." Though Pym Particles were convenient, they cost money and weren't as versatile as the Convenient Large Cloth, which only required Nen. The Large Cloth was essential for cleaning up after kills and moving house. Owl's ability was incredibly useful.

"Time to go back. I wonder if Kurapika has killed Uvogin yet." With this thought, Daniel quietly returned to the hotel. Gon, Killua, and Leorio were not there. After securing enough funds to buy Greed Island, they decided to explore Yorknew City and earn some money.

Even without needing to buy Greed Island, they still needed money for themselves. Despite having a fortune of millions, to Gon and Killua, it was a pittance. These were kids who could blow through billions in days, with Killua once spending two billion on candy.

Leorio, also keen on making money, was driven by his friend's death due to lack of funds.

"Damn it, who did this? I'll kill them!" Uvogin, who Daniel expected to be dead, was actually in the brigade's base, drinking beer and yelling. Though he had wanted to seek revenge on Kurapika, he was persuaded by Shalnark to return due to Nobunaga and Machi's capture and Phinks' severe injury.

Compared to their safety, the chain user could be dealt with later. Shalnark convinced Uvogin to prioritize their comrades.

At the brigade's base, except for Machi and Nobunaga, everyone else was present.

"The Ten Dons haven't reported capturing them, so it must have been someone else." Shalnark relayed all the information he had gathered.

Uvogin was rescued by the brigade members because the mafia family Kurapika served planned to present him to the Ten Dons, which allowed Shalnark to intercept them.

"I haven't received any relevant information either," Pakunoda added. She and Shalnark were responsible for intelligence and planning within the brigade, using their abilities to gather information.

The Phantom Brigade never acted rashly. Every operation was meticulously planned, like the robbery of the Ten Dons. Despite the severe consequences, their Meteor City origins meant the Dons had to swallow their grievances.

In the original story, even after the Ten Dons were killed, the brigade's bounty was rescinded. Though Meteor City was unofficial, it was infamous in the underground world.

Major criminal organizations, underground forces, and assassin guilds had deep ties with Meteor City. Look at the Zoldyck family: they had elders living there, and Killua's mother, Silva's wife, was from Meteor City. Historically, all Zoldyck family heads had wives from Meteor City. It's likely that Illumi, Killua, and their brothers would marry someone from there in the future.

"Leader." After everyone shared their information, including Hisoka, all eyes turned to Chrollo.

"Shalnark, Pakunoda, continue investigating. Uvogin, Phinks, go with them." Chrollo, after some thought, issued his orders.

This operation had not only yielded no treasures but also resulted in the loss of two members. It was the brigade's greatest failure, more significant than the deaths of their previous two comrades.

Since its founding, the brigade had only lost two members: No. 8, killed by Silva Zoldyck, later replaced by Shizuku, and No. 4, killed by Hisoka, who took his own place.

The brigade's rule was that new members had to defeat or kill an existing member to join. This rule was flexible; the reaction of the brigade varied depending on who was killed.

"So audacious," Daniel muttered, watching a news report about a convenience store murder. The surveillance footage showed Shalnark and Uvogin killing everyone inside, including two middle school students.

"By now, Owl should have returned." After analyzing Owl's ability, Daniel let him go, planning to use the stolen treasures to lure the brigade out again. Besides returning all the items, Daniel gave Owl Nobunaga's body to further provoke the brigade.

Aside from taking Kurapika's Scarlet Eyes, Daniel left the rest untouched. He wasn't worried about Owl revealing his identity, as he had disguised himself.

"The bounty for each brigade member is now two billion? The Ten Dons are finally willing to spend big. The Zoldyck family should be here soon."

To show they weren't afraid of the Phantom Brigade, the Ten Dons increased the bounties and announced the reopening of the auction. No one cared about the 500 people killed before.

To these mafia bosses, human lives were expendable. Even if the Ten Dons were killed, someone else would take their place.

For this auction, they even planned to auction Nobunaga's body. It was a Phantom Brigade member's corpse, a valuable item for collectors or enemies.

Over the years, the brigade had robbed many wealthy individuals and even national museums, though they targeted only smaller countries without influence in the V5.

The V5, the five strongest countries across the six continents in the Hunter world, excluded the sixth continent due to its chaotic state and lack of powerful nations, much like Africa in the real world.

"Reopening the auction, Owl's return, and Nobunaga's body," Daniel muttered. The brigade quickly obtained this information through Pakunoda and Shalnark.

"I'm going to kill them all," Uvogin roared upon hearing about Nobunaga's death, releasing a powerful aura and stomping a massive crater into the ground. If not for Chrollo's intervention, Uvogin might have stormed the auction hotel to kill everyone inside.

"Calm down. Whatever you want to do, tonight, you'll have your chance," Chrollo said. For the treasures and Nobunaga's body, the brigade wouldn't back down.

After some thought, Chrollo devised a plan. If one brigade member died, a hundred people would accompany them to the grave.

This was the brigade's tradition. When No. 8 and No. 4 died, the brigade went on a killing spree.

"You can act now, as agreed," Chrollo said, walking to a corner and dialing a number.

"No problem," Illumi's emotionless voice responded.

***

As night fell, the auction house in Yorknew City became a battlefield. The brigade launched a full-scale attack, driven by revenge and the desire to retrieve their lost comrades' bodies.

In the midst of the chaos, Daniel positioned himself strategically, waiting for the right moment to strike. He watched as the brigade members ruthlessly eliminated anyone in their path, their efficiency and brutality on full display.

Chrollo's plan was unfolding perfectly. The brigade's assault was meticulously timed, catching the guards and mafia members off guard. Within minutes, the auction house was a scene of carnage.

Daniel noted the positions of each brigade member, his mind racing with potential strategies. He knew he had to be precise; any mistake could cost him dearly against such formidable opponents.

As the auction house descended into chaos, Daniel saw his opportunity. Moving with speed and precision, he targeted Pakunoda first. Her information-gathering abilities made her a significant threat.

Approaching from behind, Daniel struck swiftly, aiming to incapacitate her. Pakunoda sensed the attack at the last moment, but it was too late. Daniel's blade cut through her defenses, and she fell to the ground, unconscious.

Next, Daniel focused on Shalnark. Using the element of surprise, he engaged him in close combat. Shalnark, though skilled, was caught off guard by Daniel's relentless assault. Within moments, Shalnark was disarmed and subdued.

The remaining brigade members, realizing something was amiss, regrouped. Chrollo, Phinks, and Uvogin stood at the center, their expressions grim.

"Who are you?" Chrollo demanded, his voice cold.

"A ghost from your past," Daniel replied, his eyes locked on Chrollo. "Here to ensure the Phantom Brigade meets its end."

Chrollo's eyes narrowed, recognizing the determination in Daniel's gaze. "Very well. Let's end this."

The final showdown began. Daniel faced off against Chrollo, while Phinks and Uvogin prepared to back their leader. The fight was intense, each combatant pushing their limits.

Daniel's training and strategic thinking gave him an edge. He managed to keep Chrollo at bay while avoiding attacks from Phinks and Uvogin. The battle raged on, each side refusing to yield.

Amidst the fierce combat, Daniel saw an opening. With a burst of speed, he disarmed Chrollo, sending his weapon flying. Seizing the moment, Daniel delivered a powerful strike, incapacitating Chrollo.

Phinks and Uvogin, seeing their leader fall, hesitated. Daniel took advantage of their momentary lapse, swiftly neutralizing them.

The battle was over. The once formidable Phantom Brigade lay defeated, their reign of terror finally at an end.

Breathing heavily, Daniel surveyed the scene. It had been a long and arduous journey, but he had achieved his goal. The Phantom Brigade was no more.

As the dust settled, Daniel knew that this victory came at a cost. The memories of those lost to the brigade's brutality weighed heavily on his mind. But he had avenged them, ensuring that the brigade would never harm anyone again.

With a final glance at the fallen brigade members, Daniel turned and walked away, leaving behind the remnants of a once-feared criminal organization. The Hunter world was a bit safer now, thanks to his efforts.
