Chapter 364 - 363. Hunting ManHunter, The Fox Woke Up
Inside a dense and misty forest, a woman in a deep purple dress and a wide-brimmed cowboy hat soared silently through the air. Her tanned skin gleamed under the filtered light, though several claw marks ran across her shoulder and arm. The wounds looked nasty, but her shimmering Aura kept the blood from spilling, sealing the gashes with energy.
She didn’t fly fast—she didn’t need to. No one seemed to be chasing her. But her movements were cautious, deliberate, as if the forest itself was watching. She floated a little closer to the heart of the forest, slowly but cautiously.
Her name was Isadora Nightkiss—the infamous "Manhunter." And in her possession was one of the Orion Cube Fragments.

Meanwhile, just outside the forest’s edge...
"You sure the Manhunter came through here?" a sharp voice echoed as two figures stepped out from a swirling shadow portal.
One of them was a tall man with piercing silver eyes, his silver pupils shining like twin moons. His long coat fluttered even though the air was still. This was Captain Silver Eye, a name whispered across seas with fear and awe.
Beside him stood a towering, muscular giant—nearly three times the height of an ordinary man, with bulging muscles like carved stone. But in a blink, his figure shimmered and shrank down to the size of a dwarf, revealing a much leaner, nimbler version of himself. This was Captain Burgess, Silver Eye’s trusted vice-captain.
"She’s in there," another voice said.
A man with a rusty hook in place of his left hand stepped forward. His messy black beard and torn coat gave him a classic pirate look. A sly grin twisted his lips.
"I may not have a high bounty, but I’m a Captain too. My word is gold," he said. This was Captain Hooker Hogan, also known as Captain Hook, once a mid-tier pirate in the south. He’d encountered Isadora before—and barely lived to tell the tale.
