With martial law still in effect and the stakes higher than ever, the fallout from Borksen’s actions could alter the course of the conflict with the Heil-Ly family.

As the Succession Arc unfolds, fans wonder how Morena will respond to this development and what Borksen’s true motives might be in their deadly strategy game.

The chapter opened with declaring special martial law across the Black Whale. Instructions, escalating in severity, were issued based on the level hierarchy.

Passengers on the fifth and fourth levels were told to remain calm and follow army directives, while those on the third level were ordered to kneel against walls with their hands raised. Soldiers are authorized to shoot anyone who disobeys.

The announcement emphasized that civilians deemed dangerous would be executed on sight, underscoring the gravity of the crisis. Borksen observed the situation closely, analyzing the specific orders for each level and deducing that she was held somewhere above the third level.

Despite the tension, Morena Prudo remained composed and continued their negotiation game, confidently selecting the “agreement” card. Borksen proceeded cautiously, interpreting the martial law as a potential opportunity.

Morena introduced a shocking new condition to the game: Borksen had to kiss her. Initially hesitant, Borksen listened as Morena explained that the kiss was tied to her Nen ability.

Morena revealed that her ability required three conditions to activate: obtaining a “yes” result in the negotiation game, a kiss to transfer her skill, and participation in a murder committed by her group. Reluctantly, Borksen agreed, completing the kiss and fulfilling one of Morena’s requirements.

Afterward, Morena teased Borksen, provoking a sharp response. The game resumed, and Borksen demanded to inspect the cards for possible tampering, which Morena allowed.

The inspection revealed no cheating, and the game continued. Borksen used her turn to interrogate Morena, uncovering critical details about the Heil-Ly hideout.

Through Morena’s responses, Borksen deduced that the hideout was located on the luxurious first level of the Black Whale. Morena confirmed that it had been planned during the ship’s construction and was concealed by Nen abilities. She also revealed that the hideout was situated between the second and third levels and had five entrances, some accessible to ordinary people.

As the game neared its conclusion, Borksen faced her final discard. Morena warned her to choose carefully.

In the climactic moment, both flipped their cards simultaneously, with Borksen revealing the “R” card, securing her victory. Morena acknowledged her loss and allowed Borksen to select a card from the cemetery.

To Morena’s shock, Borksen chose the “yes” card, signaling her acceptance into Morena’s group. Morena questioned the decision, but Borksen confirmed it without hesitation. The chapter ended with this pivotal choice, leaving Borksen’s motives unclear and setting the stage for future developments.
