One Piece's Bizzare Adventure - Chapter 62
The autumn air was delicious, and clouds drifted for miles.
On the roadside, Jon looked up at the sky.
“I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?”
“Bad news.”
“You have been erased from the world by Yoshikage Kira using ‘Killer Queen.'”
“And the good news?”
“He only succeeded halfway.”
“…”
“Gather all the resentment, pay with your soul, catalyze the ability to completely erase the target, eliminate all traces of the target’s existence, call it ‘Killer Queen Ultimate Bomb Complete Obliteration!'”
“…”
“Partner, can’t you say something?”
“I don’t want to.”
“Come on, look at it this way, I am the dignified ‘Requiem,’ involving conceptual powers. How could I lose to a pink cat that only knows how to explode things?”
“So?”
“Explaining the specific power struggles is troublesome. I didn’t win, ‘Killer Queen’ didn’t win either. As for you, just think of it as accidentally being hit by ‘Blown Away’ or ‘Scream,’ and being forcibly expelled from the original world.”
“So, does that mean my ‘Legendary level’ in this world…”
“Correction, once you leave a deep impression in this world, we can send you back. If we act fast enough, maybe you can attend your own funeral.”
“…Can we not mention that?”
“Carrying on the family legacy, classic rebirth, isn’t it great?”
Mr. D kept chattering away in his mind, but Jon decisively chose to ignore him.
At that moment, a taxi approached from the distance.
Jon pondered for a moment, then signaled for it to stop.
“Squeak.”
The tires screeched to a halt, leaving shallow marks on the ground.
The taxi driver rolled down the window apologetically, “Sir, please wait a moment. I need to drop off the passengers in the car before I can come back to pick you up.”
Before he could finish speaking, a familiar voice came from the back seat.
“Good grief.” A young man in a white windbreaker crossed his arms. “One more person doesn’t matter, I don’t mind.”
Jon was stunned for a few seconds, blurting out, “Jotaro!?”
“Hmm?” Through the hazy car window, Jotaro looked at Jon with confusion. “Who are you?”
“I’m your uncle,” Jon originally intended to say.
But after a second thought, he changed his words, “We’ve met before, don’t you remember?”
“Oh, so you guys know each other.” The taxi driver thought he understood the situation, waved his hand without waiting for Jotaro’s response, and said, “Hurry up and get in the car.”
Upon hearing this, Jon regained his composure, opened the back door, and sat together with Jotaro.
Seeing Jon’s face clearly, Jotaro’s expression suddenly became somewhat strange.
This guy… Looked a lot like old man Joseph and his mother!
“I know you’re confused. Honestly, I’m a little puzzled too. But, this is not the place to talk. When we get off the car, I’ll tell you everything I know.”
Jon whispered upon perceiving Jotaro’s emotions with his Color of Observation Haki.
“Good grief.” Jotaro lowered his brimmed hat, making it difficult to see his expression.
Silence ensued for the rest of the journey.
The taxi arrived smoothly at Morioh Town.
After paying the fare, Jotaro watched the taxi drive away.
Turning around, he put his hands in his pockets and looked at Jon, “Now you can tell me who you really are.”
Jon coughed lightly, “Just don’t be surprised when you hear it.”
Jotaro remained silent.
“I’m actually your uncle,” Jon said solemnly.
One second, two seconds, three seconds. Exactly five seconds passed, and Jotaro still had no reaction.
Seeing this, Jon simply took off his jacket and pulled at the collar, saying, “Don’t believe me? Look, this is proof that I’m a Joestar.”
It was well known that the Joestar family have an inherited star-shaped birthmark.
Jon was no exception.
Seeing the birthmark on the back of Jon’s neck, Jotaro’s pupils contracted, suddenly recalling the purpose of this trip. He took a deep breath and tentatively asked, “Are you also Joseph Jonstar’s illegitimate child?”
“What illegitimate child? I’m the legitimate eldest son of the old man!” Jon rubbed his temples with a headache. “But, when I say Joseph Joestar, it should be a different Joseph Joestar than the one you know.”
Jotaro: ???
This guy was really making him confused here.
Jon could only tell the truth, “My name is John Jonstar, I am the child of Joseph Joestar and Suzi Q, the younger brother of Holy Joestar. After Dio Brando’s awakening, I gained a Stand. During the journey in Egypt, my Stand evolved and gained the ability to open interdimensional gates.”
From initial suspicion to later seriousness, Jotaro became increasingly shocked as he listened.
Kakyoin, Iggy, and Abdul were living well in another world; Joseph old man didn’t cheat, so there was no issue of illegitimate children.
“…I and you, oh, I mean, the you from another world. Anyway, the four of us teamed up to corner Yoshikage Kira. As a result, his Stand ‘Killer Queen’ evolved in such an extreme situation and forcibly erased my existence.
Fortunately, my Stand has a special ability, allowing me to freely traverse different worlds. Are you listening?”
Jon’s mouth felt dry as he looked intently, only to find that Jotaro was lost in thought. He couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
“Sorry.” Jotaro didn’t explain anything, simply apologized sincerely.
After a pause, he spoke up, “So, does that mean you can only stay in this world for now?”
Jon nodded.
Just about to say something.
Suddenly, a short boy bumped into his crotch.
“Thud.”
The short boy in a new school uniform stepped back a few steps and sat down on the ground.
Jon and Jotaro turned their heads simultaneously.
“Wow, you’re so tall!” muttered the short boy sitting on the ground.
Realizing his mistake, he quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I was too careless!”
[Ding, key character ‘Koichi Hirose’ appears.]
Jon couldn’t help but interrupt Mr. D in his mind annoyedly, “Stop pretending to be the system, and shut up!”
[I’m just happy, partner, we’re lucky this time!]
“What do you mean?”
“It means that you’ve been blown into a world line where you’ll never exist, with no memories or traces of you here. In a way, Killer Queen’s Final Bomb worked.”
“Get to the point.”
“Dio’s Arrow also exists here! I can evolve again based on ‘Requiem’!”
Evolve again!
Jon’s heartbeat suddenly slowed.
For example, if the effect of a normal Arrow is to quickly level up a Charmander to level 16, then the effect of “Yoshikage Kira’s Arrow” is to turn Charmander into Charmeleon.
Shoot another arrow, and it directly evolves into Charizard! Wuhu, take off.
