TM : [177] The Decisive Battle with DIO
🕑 Added 2023-12-09 16:02:01 +0000 UTC"Finally—Kairo!," Kazuya took a deep breath. "This is... the real danger is just beginning. We need to quickly find DIO's whereabouts. Otherwise, the stand users we spared along the way will start gathering one by one. Although many of them lack direct combat abilities, it's still quite dangerous when they scheme against us in the shadows!"
"Ah... you're right," Polnareff nodded.
He had already completed his revenge, a stroke of luck, perhaps. After leaving Hong Kong, they headed straight to India, where J. Geil's Stand users attacked them.
Having learned about their Stand abilities, Polnareff quickly defeated the enemies this time without any casualties.
But...
"Abdul—!"
"I know," Abdul stepped forward. "I'm more familiar with Kairo. It's going to be tough to search blindly. Let's follow the method Mr. Joestar told us."
"Indeed, Kairo has a population of sixty thousand, with over ten thousand buildings. It's better to let the locals handle it," Joseph said. "Oh, right... it's not that simple! When we go, there seems to be a gatekeeper. Moreover, inside, there's a very tricky Stand user!"
"By the way, old man, have you gotten a bit younger recently?" Jotaro Kujo looked at Kazuya and asked.
"Well, because recently, I've been practicing Ripple again," Kazuya nodded. "As you all know, Ripple is the natural enemy of vampires. I used to think there was no need to use Ripple anymore, as both Stone Mask and the existence that created Stone Mask have been defeated. I'm not a fan of putting in effort... but, in any case, increasing our strength even a bit is necessary now!"
...
"Joseph, that old man..." in the dimly lit room, where no trace of sunlight could be seen, DIO touched the scar on his neck. "I didn't expect him to be eliminated so quickly."
"DIO-sama!" Enya said, "Let us take action and completely kill the detestable Joestar!"
"Hmm... go ahead, but don't let them escape again!" DIO said, squinting slightly. Purple thorns appeared in his hand as a nearby camera captured the moment.
"They've already left Kairo," he continued, sitting on a nearby chair. "Enya, do you have any clues? What special abilities do they have on their side?"
"No... well, from the current intelligence..."
"In that case, take a guess," DIO said, gesturing to a woman who walked over with a gentle smile on her face. "Maybe it was a coincidence the first time, but what about after that? Second, third, fourth... did our plans leak out to them? No, that can't be! Only they know about the plan. Even I, DIO, didn't bother to consider how they would deal with Joestar completely. So, are they all traitors?"
"No... that's impossible. How could they dare betray DIO!" Enya quickly said.
"Right, they indeed wouldn't dare and couldn't... so what is it for? What's the reason? The logic... could it be that they can see the future? Hehehe... could it be that they already know about my abilities—even found a way to defeat me?"
With a chuckle, he inserted his hand into the neck of the woman who had approached, absorbing her blood. After a while, he withdrew his hand, letting the woman fall to the ground.
"It's still far from enough... I still need the blood of dozens more to fully recover from my injuries. Relying solely on the blood of these women is too weak! And now... Joestar and his group are coming! Really... the bloodline of the Joestar family is like dog excrement on my path of destiny. And now, I feel a bit uneasy."
"DIO-sama..."
"Too obvious. They... have they seen the future? Have they already known my abilities or—even found a way to defeat me? Defeat DIO! Although I don't want to think that way, the situation seems to be developing in that direction now."
"In the room, leave five Stand users! I need powerful Stand users with direct combat abilities. After Joestar and his group arrive, attack them directly from the front! The main targets are Jotaro Kujo and Joseph Joestar! As long as we successfully end the bloodlines of these two Joestars, the others are not a concern!"
"Yes, I understand, DIO-sama," Enya continued, "What about the others?"
"Whatever, send them outside to intercept Joestar's group. Count each one they manage to take down."
"Yes, DIO-sama." With that, Enya also stepped back.
"Joestar... hm," DIO Brando touched the scar on his neck. "MUDA MUDA! No matter how you struggle, you cannot change the fate of being killed by me, DIO!"
...
"Found it—DIO's residence!"
The Joestar group, who had been assisting in searching for DIO's residence nearby, looked at the mansion in front of them with surprise.
"Hehehe, I told you, we could find it within three hours. Look, this time it only took us two hours and we've already found it. You could have just stayed put, Abdul! Where's the reward you promised?"
"Oh, rest assured," Abdul nodded. "Your reward will not be lacking."
"Huh? Look! That is—? What—," Polnareff pointed outside the window, observing the bird on the mansion.
It was a bird!
No, more accurately, it should be an eagle!
Around it, numerous ice blocks appeared, and then massive ice cones were launched towards the car!
"Jotaro!"
"Ah, I know!"
Swish—
In the next moment, Star Platinum appeared from behind him, and its fist struck the incoming ice cones!
"ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA————!!!"
Boom, boom, boom, boom—
"Ah ah ah ah ah, what the heck is happening?" The beggar who had been helping to find DIO's mansion looked at the scene in front of him in confusion.
