One Piece's Bizzare Adventure - Chapter 65
The next day, 8:00 a.m.
Higashikata Residence.
“Morioh Town is getting more and more restless.”
Putting down the newspaper, Ryohei Higashikata sighed softly, “The escaped death row convict Anjuro Katagiri was actually beaten to death by someone. Unbelievable.”
“Isn’t that good news?” Josuke, who had been ordered to reflect at home for fighting on the first day of school, shrugged.
Ryohei looked at his grandson, “Silly boy, what kind of good news is this? If someone could silently kill Anjuro Katagiri, it means the killer is ten times, no, a hundred times more terrifying than the convict!”
“So, the peace of the town relies on you, Officer Higashikata.” Josuke smirked.
At that moment, Tomoko Higashikata, who had finished dressing up for work, came downstairs carrying her purse.
Seeing the two of them, she said impatiently, “Dad, it’s time for you to go on patrol. And Josuke, fighting on the first day of school, can’t you make me worry less? Stay at home and reflect for these few days, don’t go anywhere!”
Josuke shrugged, “It’s not that serious, Mom. I just got a little carried away with my new classmates.”
“Stop talking nonsense!” Tomoko’s face hardened.
“Ding dong.”
The doorbell rang.
Tomoko glared at Josuke, “Stay at home properly and don’t cause trouble for me.”
With that, she walked towards the door, “Sorry, we’ve already subscribed to a newspaper.”
However, what Tomoko didn’t expect was that the people standing at the door were not newspaper salesmen, but two handsome young men over six feet tall.
Seeing Tomoko, the young man in white windbreaker pursed his lips, “Sorry for the intrusion, I am…”
“Joseph, have you finally come to find me?” Tomoko’s eyes suddenly sparkled as she rushed into the embrace of another black-haired young man.
“For so many years, I’ve been waiting for you.” Tomoko vigorously rubbed against the chest of the black-haired young man.
The black-haired young man was taken aback.
“I’m so happy, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you~” Tomoko rubbed fiercely against the chest of the black-haired young man.
“I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I’m not Joseph Joestar.” The black-haired young man smiled wryly and calmly freed himself from Tomoko’s embrace.
“I’m Jon.”
“Eh?”
Hearing this, Tomoko calmed down slightly.
She raised her head.
“Upon closer inspection, you don’t have a single wrinkle on your face.”
“Like I already said, I’m not Joseph Joestar.” Jon smiled, not showing any signs of discomfort, and freed himself from Tomoko’s embrace.
“Good grief.”
Jotaro Kujo pressed down his hat, hiding the faint smile in his eyes, and said, “My name is Jotaro Kujo, the grandson of Joseph Joestar. This guy is Jon.”
“I’m Jon Sothos.”
To avoid trouble, Jon disguised his surname.
“Oh.” Tomoko nodded in surprise.
“Is Josuke at home? At this time, he shouldn’t have gone to school yet.” Jotaro asked in a deep voice.
Speak of the devil, and he shall appeared.
As soon as Jotaro finished speaking, Josuke walked out of the house, rubbing the back of his head.
“Mom, what’s there to chat about with the newspaper salesman? Hurry up and close the door.”
Seeing the two people outside the door, he blinked, “Oh? Mr. Kujo, and…”
Josuke scratched the back of his head, not sure how to address Jon.
“Josuke, you’re just in time.” Jotaro pressed his hat, “I have something important to tell you.”
Something important?
Josuke was puzzled.
Just as he was about to ask, Jotaro shook his head slightly.
Josuke understood immediately and looked at Tomoko beside him, “Mom, why haven’t you left yet?”
Tomoko was speechless.
“Hurry up and go to work. Don’t you want your perfect attendance award?” Josuke exaggeratedly urged.
Tomoko hesitated to speak.
But in the end, she didn’t say anything and walked away.
The look in her eyes was full of resentment.
Jon: “Something’s not right with Mrs. Higashikata!”
Josuke invited Jotaro and Jon into the house, and the three of them happened to cross paths with Ryohei Higashikata, who was about to go on patrol outside.
Jon and Jotaro nodded politely to the old police officer.
Ryohei smiled at the two of them and instructed Josuke to entertain his good friends.
After all irrelevant people had left, Josuke couldn’t wait to ask, “Mr. Kujo, what exactly is the ‘important matter’?”
Jotaro sat on the sofa with his arms crossed and legs crossed, his expression stern. “Yesterday, Jon and I encountered the fugitive Anjuro Katagiri in Morioh Park.”
Josuke exclaimed and couldn’t help but widen his eyes, “So it was you guys!”
“In any case, various things happened, and Anjuro Katagiri revealed his secret before dying. According to him, the day before his execution, he was shot by a mysterious figure with an arrow, which is how he obtained his Stand.”
Jotaro’s expression was serious.
“That person with Arrow is still lurking in this town, constantly creating ‘Stand users.’ In other words, you and your family are in danger!”
Jotaro understood the dangers of Stand users better than anyone else. Most people, after obtaining power, were often blinded by various desires.
“I understand! We need to find that guy who disrupts the peace of the town, right?”
Josuke clenched his fist, “Consider it done!”
“Actually,” Jon coughed lightly, suddenly speaking up, “we’ve already found the mastermind behind it all.”
Josuke: “Eh?!!!”
Never one to let the conversation drop, in Josuke’s shocked expression was on tip-top shape.
“And, that guy is living in the abandoned house less than two hundred meters from your home.”
“What did you say?!”
Josuke couldn’t sit still.
Meanwhile, outside the abandoned house.
“Why do I have to do this kind of thing?”
Koichi Hirose struggled to carry a large pile of new books.
Due to a certain student with a unique hairstyle being suspended on the first day of school, Koichi had to deliver the pile of books that had not been taken home.
“Sigh.” Koichi sighed.
If it weren’t for a few delinquents blocking him after school yesterday, he would have sent these books away long ago, avoiding dragging them until now.
Just as he was thinking.
Suddenly, Koichi was pushed down by a strong force, and the books scattered all over the ground.
“Hey hey hey, watch where you’re going when you walk.” Okuyasu Nijimura was annoyed, “Be careful, or I’ll beat you up, bastard!”
“Sorry, sorry, it’s my fault.”
Rubbing his shoulder, Koichi quickly apologized, fearing that he would be beaten up.
What he didn’t know was that on the third floor of the abandoned house, a dark figure silently watched everything at the door.
After a moment of thought, he quietly pulled out his bow.
