Unripe Fruit, Forever Tantalizing

Hisoka.
Nickname: The Perverted Clown...
A character from the world of «Hunter x Hunter».
At the same time, he was also the fifth guest in the tavern with the "perverted" characteristic!

His strength was immense.
His hobby was to nurture strong opponents, then personally destroy them.

"Hello."

"The voice that led me here said the wine here is very good."

"The people aren't bad either ~"

Hisoka licked his lips, speaking suggestively.

He stood up and looked around, his gaze quickly sweeping over everyone's faces, sensing their auras.

Suddenly...
He... was aroused.

That's right!
The moment Hisoka saw Naruto, he... was aroused.

He could see that Naruto's future would be very strong, very strong!

The thrill of slowly waiting for the unripe fruit to ripen, then personally plucking it and savoring it, truly made Hisoka unable to stop himself.

It was like foreseeing with a snap of fingers, predicting that the young girl before him would definitely have an ample bosom and shapely curves a few years later. But if he were to date the young girl now, they would break up in a few days, and he would forever lose an extremely hot potential girlfriend.

Truly, that was the feeling!

At this moment, Naruto sensed Hisoka's unusual gaze, his whole body involuntarily trembled slightly, and he asked in a trembling voice:

"You... do you need something?"

Hisoka gently shook his head: "Little boy, don't get excited; I won't eat you."

"Grow up quickly."

"I eagerly await a battle with your future self."

As he spoke, he licked his lower lip again, trying to suppress a murderous urge as if he hadn't acted in ten years.

"I will become strong!"

Naruto nodded, not paying too much attention to Hisoka's expression. It was just... he always felt something was strange.

Meanwhile, Jiraiya, Homelander, The Deep, and Yoshikage Kira, seeing this, immediately confirmed it.

This guy was definitely a pervert!

To prevent any mishaps, Jiraiya directly pulled Naruto to sit elsewhere.

"You should also restrain yourself a bit."

"Don't let someone ambush you right after you leave the bar, once you're drunk."

Ron lit a cigarette, reminding him with a hint of helplessness.

Although the tavern's rule was only "no fighting." But... this was a public place after all.

Doing such a thing to a child right in front of so many people, what if some big brother with a surging sense of justice decided to secretly "deal with" Hisoka?

"You're the owner here, I'll listen to you."

Hisoka shrugged, then sat back down.

Very quickly, Ram brought a bottle of fruit wine and placed it in front of Hisoka:

"Your wine, please enjoy."

"Thank you." Hisoka smiled and nodded, then picked up the bottle, his movements for opening and pouring the wine very practiced. One look and you could tell he was a seasoned drinker.

He raised the glass and took a sip, his eyes instantly lighting up:

"Using unripe fruit to make fruit wine, it's sweet and sour, yet doesn't lose the richness of the wine."

"Not bad, truly not bad..."

"Indeed, unripe fruit, forever tantalizing."

His voice tried to sound calm, but it couldn't hide his demonic and wild charm.

As he spoke, he occasionally stared at Naruto, licking the drops of wine clinging to the corner of his mouth, suppressing his excitement for the battle yet to come.

"You truly are a pervert."

"Every word you speak reveals desire and lust."

Ron extinguished the cigarette in his hand, speaking softly.

"I really dislike the word 'pervert'."

"I merely crave battle, a bit bloodthirsty, that's all."

Hisoka tasted the fine wine, smiling:

"Actually..."

"Compared to unripe fruit that must wait until the future to be plucked."

"I crave a battle with you even more; you are very strong, stronger than everyone else here."

Hearing this, everyone in the tavern looked at this man with spiky hair and painted face in disbelief.

Until now, it seemed no one had actively challenged Ron.

It wasn't that they didn't dare, but because they already knew they would lose. Therefore... neither Kayle, Pluton, nor Ice King had ever brought it up.

"Even if it means death."

"You still want to fight me?"

Ron asked softly.

"Of course, fighting with strong opponents, slaughter is the meaning of my existence." Hisoka bowed submissively, leisurely swirling the fruit wine in his glass.

In that moment, the image of the Joker on him seemed to project into reality.

Baggy pants, pointed shoes, streaks of color on his face...

This was Hisoka.

His childlike spirit unblemished, unburdened and fearless, likening himself to the Joker, seeing the whole world as his playground. Craving novelty and all kinds of thrills!

"Wait a moment."

"I will take you to another world."

Ron stroked his chin, smiling.

Originally, Ron planned to visit the world of «The End» to test his own strength. And this test would be a one-on-one battle with all the gods of the world of «The End»!

So adding a Hisoka wouldn't make much difference.

"No problem!" Hisoka's face was excited, looking at Ron as if he were prey.

But then, he frowned slightly, asking in a low voice:

"You won't be like Chrollo Lucilfer, fully prepared beforehand, will you?"

Once bitten by a snake, one fears a rope for ten years.

Not long ago, Hisoka had fought a battle with the leader of the Phantom Troupe, Chrollo Lucilfer.

However, Chrollo Lucilfer had devised a very comprehensive battle plan based on Hisoka's abilities.

Not only that, Chrollo Lucilfer could also borrow the abilities of any member of the Troupe. Coupled with the home advantage, Chrollo Lucilfer had turned the audience at the scene into living bombs.

Moreover... Chrollo Lucilfer could borrow anyone's abilities from the Troupe. So not long ago, Hisoka had to face the entire Phantom Troupe!

And in that battle, Hisoka undoubtedly lost and died. But thanks to the Nen he had arranged beforehand, he revived once again, and became stronger!

Currently, Hisoka has officially declared war on the Phantom Troupe.

"No, don't worry." Ron chuckled, shaking his head.

"That's good then." Hisoka breathed a sigh of relief, then half-jokingly said:

"To take revenge on the two Troupe members who lent their abilities to Chrollo Lucilfer."

"I found those two, in the restroom..."

"They shamelessly lent him their abilities."

"Then I'll be even more shameless; when they were in the restroom, completely unprepared, I killed them!"

Speaking of this, Hisoka continued, his voice becoming even more frenzied:

"After I return."

"I will be on the ship of the Kakin Kingdom, waiting for that good-for-nothing leader, to kill this good-for-nothing me."

Ron and the others in the tavern: "..."
