Hunter x Hunter Volume 35 puts the voyage toward the Dark Continent inside a royal succession struggle. The Hunters are working as bodyguards among Kakin's competing heirs. That changes the practical question from reaching a destination to keeping a particular passenger alive. Choose this as a continuation of the voyage, with the succession contest understood as a conflict aboard the journey rather than an account of arrival at its destination.

Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.

Kakin's fourteen princes must eliminate one another until one heir remains, while Nen-powered Guardian Beasts protect them. The bodyguard role puts the Hunters inside a system whose goal contradicts their ordinary assignment: protecting a client sustains someone else's target. That is more specific than a dangerous journey. The rules make survival competitive, so safety for one passenger cannot be treated as safety for the group. VIZ's premise supports that reading without identifying a victor or the most dangerous heir. The contest converts a shared voyage into an arrangement in which mutual survival is not the agreed outcome.
