One Piece's Bizzare Adventure - Chapter 71
The welcome dinner venue was personally chosen by Jon—a place called ‘Trattoria Trussardi,’ an Italian restaurant.
“Jon, there’s a cemetery nearby. Do you really think this place will have customers?” Josuke couldn’t help but ask as soon as he got out of the car.
Jotaro scanned the surroundings with suspicion and looked at Jon.
Jon smiled, “Good wine needs no bush. The more secluded the location, the better the food usually is.”
“Really?” Josuke remained skeptical, muttering, “Even I, a local, haven’t heard of this place. The food can’t be that good…”
My foolish brother, the owner of this restaurant has a rare edible Stand. You should consider yourself lucky to taste his food.
‘Grr…’
Joseph’s stomach suddenly growled.
The effect of the life energy had worn off, and the old man began to get confused again, shouting, “Wife, is dinner ready yet?”
Hearing this, Josuke’s face darkened slightly.
Jon patted Josuke’s shoulder, “Some things aren’t your fault, or Mrs. Higashikata’s, or even Joseph’s.”
Not my fault, not Mom’s fault, and not this old man’s fault for having an affair?
Josuke was baffled.
Jon didn’t elaborate.
If someone had to be blamed…
Araki, it’s all your fault!
“Yare yare daze,” Jotaro pressed his hat brim, “Anyway, let’s go inside first.”
With that, he led the way into the restaurant.
Contrary to the ordinary sign outside, the interior decor was quite stylish.
Jotaro’s expression softened.
Everyone knows Jotaro is the kind of guy who won’t pay if the food isn’t worth it.
Although he’s matured a lot, his palate remains honest.
Just then, Josuke entered, supporting Joseph, and exclaimed, “Wow, it looks ordinary outside, but it’s really clean in here.”
Jon followed closely, smugly rubbing his nose, “I told you, my choice is never wrong. Just wait and see.”
Hearing the commotion, a tall, blonde, blue-eyed man in a clean chef’s uniform emerged from the kitchen. His tall chef’s hat had a red ribbon, symbolizing his status as the head chef.
Jotaro glanced at the man and said in a low voice, “There are four of us.”
“Alright, four guests, please come this way.”
The blonde man led the four to a table with a pristine white tablecloth and bowed, “Good evening, I am the owner and head chef of this restaurant, Tonio Trussardi. Today’s special is…”
He looked over the group and smiled apologetically.
“If you don’t mind, may I see your hands?”
Reading palms before a meal?
Except for Jon, who knew what was happening, Jotaro and Josuke were puzzled.
As for Joseph?
The old man had already started eating sugar cubes from the sugar jar.
“Old man—cough, Mr. Joestar, what are you doing!” Josuke blushed and stopped Joseph.
Joseph looked confused.
Tonio Trussardi glanced at Joseph’s right hand and said, “High blood pressure, shoulder arthritis, prostatitis, osteoporosis, vascular blockage… Alright, I understand.”
Josuke: (???)
Jotaro: (?_?)
Chef, you’re suspicious!
“Are you a Stand user?”
Due to recent events with Keicho Nijimura and ‘Red Hot Chili Pepper,’ Josuke was on edge. He stood up protectively in front of Joseph.
Tonio Trussardi was startled and quickly waved his hands, “I mean no harm!”
“I told you Stand users are drawn to each other,” Jon interjected smoothly, “Living in Morioh, you can’t always be so jumpy.”
You talk as if you’re a native of Morioh.
Josuke sat back down, still sullen.
Tonio Trussardi sighed in relief and smiled, “And you, sir, with the stylish hairstyle…”
“Stylish hairstyle, yes,” Jon cut in smoothly before the chef could finish.
“…Yes, this stylish guest, I noticed you have some bowel issues.”
Wow, just hitting all the marks.
Josuke’s face turned bright red, “Shut up!”
Baka! HENTAI! Unbelievable!
Josuke Higashikata (×)
Ryohei Higashikata (?)
Tonio Trussardi didn’t mind, turning to Jotaro, “You’ve had trouble sleeping lately.”
Jotaro nodded slightly.
The chef assured me, “Don’t worry, I’ll prepare something suitable for you.”
When it was Jon’s turn, Tonio Trussardi looked troubled.
“As for you…”
After a few seconds of silence, he shook his head, “You are remarkably healthy.”
Hamon energy is wonderful, truly wonderful.
This is the value of cultivation!
Jon smiled, “Show me your best dish.”
“Yes, sir.”
Tonio Trussardi bowed gracefully and returned to the kitchen.
Watching the chef’s retreating figure, Jotaro suddenly smiled, “So, getting used to Italian cuisine before heading to Italy?”
“If you want to put it that way, sure,” Jon replied nonchalantly.
“Wait, Jotaro, Jon, you’re going to Italy?” Josuke asked enviously, “I’ve never been abroad.”
Jotaro pursed his lips, “If it were a regular trip, I wouldn’t mind taking you. But this time, we’re going to save someone.”
“Onii-chan, let’s go to Italy together!” Jon made an ‘OK’ gesture to Josuke.
Jotaro:
“Jon, really?” Josuke was overjoyed.
At 16, he was curious about the outside world.
School?
Forget it!
Jotaro frowned, “Josuke, Stand battles are not child’s play. No one can guarantee your safety!”
Josuke patted his chest, “I’ll take care of myself. ‘Crazy Diamond’ fears no enemy.”
Jon nodded repeatedly, “Right, you can’t go without a healer!”
Jotaro: ???
Seeing Jotaro’s confused look, Jon spread his hands, “It would be troublesome if no one takes care of Joseph.”
“You mean Joseph should come with us?” Jotaro rubbed his temples, “Do you think he can still fight?”
Jon’s expression turned serious, “A king has his talents, a chef has his skills. ‘Hermit Purple’ excels in information gathering, not combat. As for his physical condition…”
Jon deliberately paused.
“You’ll see after the meal.”
