Developing an ability to track specific people wasn't a sudden decision for Rocky. This idea had been quietly forming ever since he first entered Greed Island and used the "Companion" card. Even when Razor had expelled him from the island, Rocky felt something stir deep within—a strange, fleeting sensation.
It was as though a mysterious totem or symbol had etched itself into his mind, growing clearer with each passing day. The more he used cards like "Companion" and "Magnetic Force," the stronger this feeling became. After his recent conversation with Kite, the totem in his mind seemed almost tangible, urging him toward something new.
At that moment, Rocky realized his Nen was guiding him to develop a unique ability—an ability to create a weapon that could guide him to people or objects.
This inspiration wasn't born of random thought. It felt as though his Nen had planted the seed, subtly steering his thoughts and emotions.
But creating such an ability wouldn't be easy. There were two crucial tasks Rocky needed to accomplish first:
1. Craft a bow.
2. Hone his archery skills.
The First Step: Crafting the Bow
On the first day, Rocky fashioned a simple wooden bow. It was crude and unrefined, with a basic string and arrows made from sharpened sticks. The feathers at the tail of the arrows were hastily attached, completing the rudimentary setup.
He began practicing immediately. At first, it was straightforward archery—aiming, pulling, and releasing. But as Rocky infused his arrows with Nen, the energy seemed to amplify the weapon's power.
Even with his Enhancer abilities, the transformation was shocking. An arrow fired with Nen easily pierced multiple trees or shattered stones as if they were fragile glass.

For the next several months, Rocky trained tirelessly. He lived off the forest's resources, sharpening his focus and pouring his energy into every shot. Each day, his understanding of Nen deepened, and the bow felt more like an extension of his body.
The passage of time blurred as Rocky honed his skills. Gon, who lived nearby on Whale Island, noticed Rocky's intense training. While Gon initially chose to observe from a distance, Rocky's dedication and focus made it clear he didn't want distractions.
Eventually, Rocky relocated his camp to a more secluded area. He needed absolute solitude to preserve the fleeting inspiration guiding him.
Finally!
After half a year of relentless practice, Rocky sensed a change. His arrows, when infused with Nen, began to deviate from their standard path. It wasn't random; they adjusted their trajectory to hit the intended target.
The totem in Rocky's mind, once hazy, now stood vividly clear. It was time.
Rocky retreated to a hidden cave along a cliffside, shutting out the world to finalize his new weapon.
Hours passed in intense concentration as Rocky channeled his energy. The process was both physically and mentally taxing, but eventually, the weapon materialized before him.
The Flying King's Bow !!
The *Flying King's Bow* wasn't an ordinary weapon. Crafted entirely from crystal-like Nen energy, it shimmered with white and silver light. The bow was an intricate masterpiece—its design a blend of intersecting crosses and octagonal patterns.
Despite its appearance, the *Flying King's Bow* didn't require physical arrows. Instead, Nen itself became the projectile. With a simple motion, Rocky pulled back an invisible bowstring, and a radiant silver arrow formed in its place.
When released, the arrow shot forward at incredible speed, carving a glowing trail across the ocean's surface before disappearing into the horizon.
Rocky smiled as he held the completed weapon. His *Flying King's Bow* wasn't just a tool; it was a testament to his dedication and growth.
Flying King's Bow had four Types of Arrows.
Rocky's new weapon came with unique abilities, each represented by a different type of arrow:
1. **Guiding Arrow**
The primary reason for creating the bow, this arrow could track people or objects. The more information Rocky had about the target, the higher the success rate. However, without adequate details, the chance of success dropped drastically.
This was the one that he needed the most right now.
2. **Unerring Arrow**
When using the *Flying King's Bow*, Rocky could mark up to three targets with his right hand. Once marked, these targets would be impossible to miss. No matter how far they ran or how well they dodged, the arrow would always strike its mark. The drawback? Using this ability concentrated all of Rocky's energy on the bow, leaving him vulnerable to close-range attacks.
3. **Arrow of Destruction**
This arrow allowed Rocky to channel not just Nen but also his own life force to amplify its power. By sacrificing some of his bloodline energy, the arrow's strength could be exponentially increased, turning it into a devastating weapon.
4. **Basic Nen Arrow**
A standard arrow formed from Nen, it lacked the special properties of the others but still packed a formidable punch.
The four weapons Rocky had created—the *Dragon King Sword*, *Yasha King Sword*, *Wise King Sword*, and now the *Flying King's Bow*—floated around him in a dazzling display of power. Each weapon resonated softly, their crystal forms humming with energy.
Sitting cross-legged in his cave, Rocky smiled. "It's finally done. The *Flying King's Bow* is complete."
The process had taken six months and seventeen days. But for Rocky, the journey was just beginning. With his new weapon in hand, he felt one step closer to his ultimate goal—finding Ging and uncovering the truth about his people.
