Finks nodded vigorously.
Feitan also whispered, "We're all on the path of acting."
"And you, you've already begun to live your own life."
Nobunaga made a rare, rather poetic remark.
"You have actually already gotten ahead of us."
"Maggie said softly."
"but……"
A sunny smile appeared on Kuroro's little face:
“We are members of the same brigade.”
"He's a teammate~!!"
Partner?...
Sheila's eyes had started to blur at some point.
She subconsciously reached out and touched her cheek.
I found my face was already covered in tears.
"Of course we are partners."
Finally, Mog gave his speech:
"It was like that before, and it is like that now..."
He looked at Sheila and smiled: "Even more so in the future."
Hillary burst into tears.
She and the others in the tour group were destined to be different.
Regardless of whether something like what happened to Sarassa actually occurred in the original storyline.
Hillary's departure was inevitable.
Determined to become a hunter, she will not follow the same path as everyone else.
"At least you're still our partner for now..."
Machi came to Sheila's side and gently comforted her.
Sheila had already thought it through very clearly after Mog had told her.
However, when the moment actually arrived, she still felt extremely sad.
In particular, the members of these teams still regard her as a comrade.
"We are still comrades..."
She raised her head, her face streaked with tears, and glanced at the other members of the troupe around her.
Finally, the image settled on Mog: "And it always will be!!"
Their pursuit of dreams will not stop, but it will not become an obstacle to the bond between them as members!
They are still a whole brigade! They are a unified entity!!
Mog will not take Sheila out, nor will she accept Mog's leadership.
She quietly left when no one was paying attention.
However, before leaving, everyone noticed that Mog had given her something.
"It will protect you, guide you, and we will meet again."
Mog smiled and said to her, "If you want to see us, just use it to find us."
Sheila carefully and solemnly put the things away: "I will."
Mog's image was reflected in her eyes: "Thank you, Mog."
"If you really want to thank me~~~"
Mog chuckled, "Tell me the stories of your journey when we meet next time."
They will definitely meet again someday.
Thus, Sheila became the first member of the Phantom Troupe to leave.
Everyone understood and supported her choice, and silently wished her well.
Moreover, Hilla's departure seemed to herald the impending separation of the troupe.
Everyone else was ready, and Mog had no intention of taking Machi out with him.
However, Mog also gave her the ticket to the Misty Forest Valley that Babagra had given him earlier.
Even the right place needs the right people to go.
So, after all these things were arranged.
Mog didn't delay and immediately led the group away from the area.
Uvogin, Phinks, Nobunaga, and Feitan are not much to deal with either; they are basically all alone.
One person is full, so the whole family isn't hungry; all his belongings were carried with him.
In that case, leaving would be much easier.
“If you walk straight ahead from here, you will almost reach the first city outside the city.”
Mog took out the map of the area around Meteor City that Elder Babagra had given him and looked at it.
He already had a pretty good understanding of the surrounding situation, so this was just a matter of confirming it once again.
According to the official description, Meteor City is roughly the same size as the combined areas of Higashikage and Saitama Prefecture.
It covers an area of 6,000 square kilometers and has a population of nearly 10 million.
The prototype of this place is generally recognized in three aspects:
One is Togashi's own study.
However, this should correspond to the fact that after completing the game "Greed Island", the rooms of the final guardians, Dunn and Lister, are in roughly the same state of disarray.
The second is the outskirts of Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, because it is also filled with garbage, surrounding Jakarta in a garbage city.
That huge garbage mountain also supports tens of thousands of people. When people are desperate and have no jobs, they come to this "mountain".
The third one is the city that is most similar to Cairo, Egypt: Zabrin, the garbage capital near Cairo.
This is what is truly known as the "Garbage Capital," and the name has even been passed down.
The people there truly live in garbage dumps.
Although they didn't want to...
To leave Meteor City and reach the outside world, one must pass through a land covered in yellow sand.
In other words, Meteor City is surrounded by desert.
In addition, there are Phinks and Pedrolev, who both appeared dressed as Egyptian pharaohs and mummies when they first appeared.
And there is also the most crucial reason.
That is, when Yoshihiro Togashi was creating the Phantom Troupe and Meteor City, he happened to be on his honeymoon in Egypt with his newlywed wife, Naoko Takeuchi, the author of "Sailor Moon".
To paraphrase what the old thief himself later described in an SBS interview:
The greatest takeaway from their trip to Egypt was that Yoshihiro Togashi found inspiration in the Pyramid of Gold 410 and incorporated it into the "Phantom Troupe Arc." The innovative auction methods (underground auctions), antique appraisal (Gon, Killua, and the Sage's antique dealing), and so on, are all inextricably linked to that journey.
Furthermore, some people later specifically researched the background of Meteor City and found that it was very similar to the urban structure and streetscape of Zabrin, the "Garbage City".
Therefore, the prototype of Meteor City has been identified.
However, none of this had anything to do with Mog.
Even if we knew, what could we do?
Even if he listened to "We Are All Trying Our Best to Live" countless times, he couldn't get the world to do anything for Meteor City.
All he can do is change the current state of Meteor City and the outside world's perception and understanding of it.
Huhuhu~
The raging yellow sand in front of them seemed to be blocking the people of Meteor Street from reaching the outside world.
However, no action was taken to stop the garbage trucks that kept coming in.
Or rather, they can't stop it.
The usual way to leave is to find a garbage truck and sneak up on it.
For example, most of the homeless people who leave Meteor City do so in this way.
Of course, you can also choose to forcefully seize one.
But very few people would do that, and even if they did, it wouldn't endanger the lives of the people on the garbage truck.
After all, the residents of Meteor City still need these people to deliver supplies to them.
However, for Mog, this wouldn't require so much trouble.
He then turned his hand over and took out a capsule about half the size of his palm.
Then press your thumbs up hard and throw it forward with a sudden jerk.
Pfft!
Accompanied by a boom sound effect, a thick cloud of pinkish-purple mist drifted out.
A RV that was beginning to take shape was thus presented to everyone's eyes.
Invention: [Universal Capsule Kit - RV]
Source: Dragon Ball World - Capsule Corporation.
Effect: Compresses the RV into a capsule shape, which can be instantly unfolded upon activation via command, making it convenient to use and store, and an essential item for travel and adventure.
Yes, this "invention" is the all-powerful capsule from the world of "Dragon Ball".
