It cannot be something from the dark continent as they haven't even reached that yet. I wouldn't want to spoil other things but I suggest you back read a few volumes behind since you missed some important details that are too long to explain, especially about this expedition they are currently in. If you find it hard to follow the manga from where the anime left off, I suggest you read it over at the start. I haven't yet watched the anime so I'm not sure which details they left off or something.

This leads to the conclusion that it is probably a Nen ability or something similar, *put in place around the ship to detect and prevent people leaving and eliminate them if they ever make it out*. As to who put this up, it was never revealed if I recall correctly.
