The attack

Gon's POV:
It started out like any other day.

I spent the morning doing chores, fishing, and spending time with Aunt Mito.

What came next was unexpected.

An entire fleet of warships was coming to the island. They flew a flag of a twelve-legged spider.

I heard stories of them, but I never thought I would encounter them.

The Phantom Troupe was coming to Whale Island.

As soon as the ships were spotted, an alarm was sounded throughout the main village, and the evacuation began.

We had no warships to defend the island, just fishing boats and small scouting vessels for messengers to the mainland. As a result, we were unable to defend ourselves.

The people quickly tried to get on the fishing trollers to get off the island, but the sheer number of people made the process take too long.

Eventually, the enemy ships arrived at the shore, and the troops began to disembark.

They made it clear that this was an invasion sent to capture the island as an outpost. Among the soldiers stood a tall skinny man wielding a katana. I can only assume he was the general and a member of the council of the troop.

The fact that he was here meant that this was a full-scale war.

The soldiers quickly began destroying the village and cutting down anyone unlucky enough to not be on one of the ships.

As I saw innocents die, I couldn't stand there and do nothing. I quickly grabbed my fishing rod and ran to help those still in the village.

I was able to hold my own for a while, knocking out several soldiers and allowing some people to flee. But after some time of fighting, I began to tire out.

Then, the general walked up to me.

General: who are you?

Gon: my name is Gon Freecess, leave the people here alone.

General: I can't do that.

He unsheathed his sword and quickly disarmed me, before knocking me to the ground.

General: kill them all.

With that order, the soldiers began a massacre, and as I lay on the ground, I saw my Aunt Mito get cut down.

I quickly ran over to her and tried to stop the bleeding, but it was hopeless, the wound was too deep.

Mito: run Gon. Get out of here and live my child.

She took her last breath and laid there in my arms, lifeless.

-------

I was filled with so much anger and grief. I was prepared to take my revenge on every soldier there, but I knew couldn't fight them all on my own, so I grabbed my fishing pole and ran for the ships. 

I managed to make it onto one of the last boats still docked, others were not so lucky.

As we dropped sail and left the port I looked back at the island, vowing that I would punish the Phantom Troupe for what they did. 

While sailing to the mainland, something else filled my mind. My anger was not just concentrated at the Troupe, but at the royal family as well. The island was left completely unguarded even though the Troupe's aggression was well known.

After I got to the shore, I set out for the Zoldyck capital. Filled with anger, I was unsure of what I would do once I got there. All I could think was that the royals were as much to blame for the death of my family and destruction of my home, and they must all answer for what happened.
