Description:
Plucky Gon’s quest to find his dad leads him into a whole world of crazy adventure.

Hunters dedicate their lives to tracking down treasures, magical beasts, and even other people. But such pursuits require a license, and less than one in a hundred thousand can pass the grueling qualification exam. Those who do pass earn the right to call themselves Hunters.

Gon and Killua have fallen into the clutches of the sinister gang known as the Spiders. But Kurapika comes to the rescue by proposing a hostage exchange. Will the Spiders agree to the plan? Meanwhile, a multitrillionaire has been buying up copies of the super-rare video game Greed Island and hiring Hunters to play the game for him! Could this be Gon’s chance to enter the legendary game and find out more about his father?
