One Piece's Bizzare Adventure - Chapter 73
In the car.
“How old are you, young man?”
“I’m sixteen.”
“Sixteen? You don’t look it.”
“Heh, everyone says I have a baby face.”
“How many people are in your family?”
“What?”
“I mean, besides you, does anyone else live with you?”
“… It’s a bit complicated. Let’s just say I’ve moved out and live on my own now.”
“So young and already independent, that’s impressive.”
“Not really.”
Giorno’s smile grew increasingly forced.
He couldn’t shake the feeling that the guy in the backseat was subtly trying to get information out of him…
Fortunately, Naples city center wasn’t far from the airport. In less than half an hour, Giorno had delivered his troublesome passengers to their destination.
“We’re here,” Giorno said, looking at the backseat, “That’ll be 30,000 lira.”
“Alright.”
Jon nodded, deliberately opening his wallet in front of Giorno to reveal a thick stack of bills.
He pulled out a few notes and handed them to Giorno, “Keep the change as a tip.”
“You’re really loaded!”
Giorno instinctively swallowed.
At the same time, ‘Golden Experience’ quietly appeared…
Josuke, who hadn’t said much, suddenly narrowed his eyes, “So, you’re a Stand user too, huh!”
“What!”
Giorno was shocked.
Since awakening ‘Golden Experience,’ he had never encountered another Stand user.
“DOORA!”
Josuke wasn’t in a good mood and, seeing the blonde kid acting suspiciously, didn’t hesitate to send ‘Crazy Diamond’ to punch him.
In a hurry, Giorno opened the car door and rolled out.
‘Boom!’
The seat collapsed, and the windshield shattered.
Covered in dirt, Giorno’s eye twitched.
That guy’s Stand has incredible destructive power!
“Jon, I’ll support you! Let’s take him down together!”
Thanks to Jon’s patient teachings, Josuke had developed his own understanding of Stand battles.
Which was…
Use long reach to hit short reach (scratched out)
Outnumber the opponent!
Unexpectedly, Jon shook his head and said seriously, “Josuke, this is a trial. To surpass your immature self, you must defeat this enemy alone.”
Josuke blinked, “I don’t get it.”
Jon raised a finger, “This is about the honor of the ‘best healer.’ I can’t get involved.”
Josuke: ???
“It’s about the honor of the ‘best healer.’ I can’t intervene.”
Josuke: ???
“You… You wrecked my car,” Giorno said through gritted teeth, “This car was a rental.”
Encouraged by Jon’s determined look, Josuke opened the car door and, with hands in his pockets, said, “Serves you right. You were planning to use your Stand for bad things.”
Even a patient person has their limits.
Giorno clenched his fists, “Shut up, you weird-haired guy!”
Perfect! Hit the mark!
Josuke’s expression darkened, his aura becoming dangerously intense, “Hey, did you just say my hairstyle looks like cow dung?”
Giorno waved his hands, “No, no, no, I just said it looked weird, I didn’t…”
Before he could finish explaining, ‘Crazy Diamond’ charged.
Giorno shuddered, “Golden Experience!”
With that, the Golden Stand and ‘Crazy Diamond’ clashed fiercely.
To Giorno’s surprise, his usually invincible ‘Golden Experience’ was struggling in close combat.
Watching the action from the car, Jon nodded approvingly, “Power and speed both rank A—truly impressive. As expected of my half-brother.”
“DOORAARAARAARAARA!”
Josuke was getting more and more excited.
Seeing his Stand taking repeated hits, Giorno knew he couldn’t continue like this. He found an opening and had ‘Golden Experience’ strike the ground.
In an instant, a large carnivorous plant sprouted from the ground.
Josuke quickly dodged, eyeing Giorno warily.
“My ‘Golden Experience’ has the ability to give life to any object or living thing,” Giorno said coldly.
“Is that so?” Josuke countered, flexing his fist, “My ‘Crazy Diamond’ can repair anything!”
Jon: (???)
Seriously, what’s with you guys introducing your Stand abilities in the middle of a fight?
Is Jotaro supposed to go around telling everyone ‘my Star Platinum can stop time’?
Wait, the whole world knows Jotaro can stop time?
Never mind then.
“Can repair anything!” Giorno was taken aback, “What an incredibly useful ability.”
Josuke scratched his head, “Heh, it’s alright.”
Coming to his senses, he coughed lightly, “Even if you praise me, I won’t let you off for insulting my hairstyle!”
“It’s really weird though,” Giorno muttered to himself.
Josuke, sensitive about his prized hairstyle, noticed Giorno’s expression and shouted, “You were definitely thinking bad things about my hairstyle just now!”
How is that even possible?
Giorno’s eyes widened.
Josuke retorted angrily, “You, with three donuts hanging on your head, have no right to call my hairstyle weird!”
Hearing this, Giorno’s lips twitched, “This is the trendiest hairstyle in Naples, not some donuts.”
Kids will be kids.
Jon sighed, shaking his head.
If it were him or Jotaro, they would’ve already punched the guy instead of chatting.
Either fight or run.
Josuke still has a lot to learn.
Regarding aesthetics, this battle cannot be lost!
Josuke took a deep breath and pointed at Giorno, “The next strike will show you.”
Giorno remained silent.
Suddenly, both moved at the same time!
“DOORAARAARAARAARAARA!”
“MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA!”
Epic family fight, everyone.
Jon watched the iconic scene unfold with satisfaction.
With a flicker of thought, he entered the ‘inner world.’
When he reappeared, he was already between Giorno and Josuke.
Emperor’s Engine. Armament Haki Reinforcement. Hamon Surge. Flowing Water Stance!
As everyone knows, Jon’s buffs are like Hiko Seijuro’s sound system.
With a full set of buffs, Jon transformed into a war god.
“Stop!”
Using the signature technique of ‘Silver Fang,’ which excelled in deflecting powerful attacks with minimal force, Jon effortlessly grabbed both Giorno and Josuke under his arms.
Josuke didn’t mind, knowing Jon was on his side.
Giorno, on the other hand, was terrified and struggled wildly, “Let go of me! I’m warning you! I’m with the Mafia!”
“Mafia, I’m so scared~”
Jon released Josuke and playfully smacked Giorno’s butt.
Giorno was stunned.
Honestly, Giorno’s young bum was quite firm.
Jon straightened up, “Giorno Giovanna, as your elder (falsely), I must correct your distorted worldview.
Listen up, being a gang star has no future!”
