Jotaro Kujo: This Stand Ability Is... Time Manipulation?! / The Bucciarati Team Tries to Unmask Her; Kurumi Tokisaki Arrives
Regarding the scene in front of him, Izayoi Sakuya's expression remained unchanged, with a smile on his lips, and he poured tea for An Xiu with natural movements.
In fact, she had already fought against her master together with Tokisaki Kurumi's body before. Now these clones were just called out to block the gun after Tokisaki Kurumi lost to the master's powerful body.
However, the physical strength of An Xiu, which was fused with Kryptonian Bloodline, was so abnormal that even if a dozen clones came together in a wheel battle, they were still subdued by An Xiu one after another in the end, and they no longer dared to make any mistakes.
After these few months of growth, not to mention the mere clone of Kurumi, even Jibril, the current An Xiu is sure to be able to defeat it.
Not to mention that An Xiu has also deeply developed his own abilities, especially the power of Rumble-Rumble Fruit, which covers his body with electric currents that are too weak to harm the body, but can stimulate some vulnerable parts. Even Elf's physique is like that of Kurumi's clones, and he will inevitably be defeated by CG twice like a fish.
"Sorry to trouble you, Sakuya."
After drinking the tea poured by Sakuya, An Xiu took a long breath and said.
"It's just a maid's duty, hey."
Just listened to Sakuya's reply, and at the same time he looked at Kurumi's body, which was lying in a corner of the bed. There had been no movement since the battle, and it was only now that he had regained some status in front of him.
" Miss Kurumi, would you like to have some drinks too?"
"Ara, thank you first, Miss Sakuya."
Kurumi, who had just recovered some physical strength, turned over lazily, with a pair of slender jade legs overlapping each other, leaning sideways on the bed. His petite but curvy figure was vividly displayed, and his red and gold pupils still had some faint charm.
"Stand Arrow has been successfully obtained. How do you plan to get the follow-up Requiem Arrow?"
Seeing that Kurumi had recovered, An Xiu, who had entered the Sage Time, asked about the next arrangements.
"As for Requiem Arrow, I have arranged for a clone to go to the Colosseum in the original work and search for Polnareff's hiding place centered on the Colosseum, but I'm afraid it will take some time to find it."
With the ability of Tokisaki Kurumi, it is not difficult to get Requiem Arrow from Polnareff. After all, when there is no shortage of time, Zafkiel will fight, reconnaissance, assistance, and sneak attacks are all very comprehensive. The only frontal combat ability that was relatively weak in the original work is no longer a weakness in Jojo, a world where Stand User per capita is fragile, but can be regarded as a very strong point.
As for the time reserve problem that often troubled Kurumi in the original work, it has long been solved. Apart from anything else, from the perspective of lifespan, the lifespan of Flame Chaser can be regarded as quite outrageous. It is so outrageous that it is not a technological product that the world view of Honkai Impact 3rd should have.
The average lifespan of Xianzhou, an immortal species in the Star Iron World next door, is only 800 to 1,000 years old. Flame Chaser can easily increase the lifespan of an ordinary person to tens of thousands of years without seeing the limit.
It can be said that compared to strength, the improvement in lifespan is the most outrageous thing about Flame Chaser technology.
With a lifespan that has no end in sight, An Xiu naturally lets Tokisaki Kurumi suck on him at will, but the way of sucking is a little different from the normal sucking time.
Moreover, even if you don't take time from An Xiu and the clones around An Xiu, Tokisaki Kurumi can definitely go to the Ark to eat at the buffet.
There are also many immortal species of Arknights World, such as Giant Beast, Beast Lord, and the more common Sarkaz.
The natural lifespan of an ordinary Sarkaz is a few hundred years, and one like Rot Eater Grand Duke can live for tens of thousands of years.
Moreover, if An Xiu remembers correctly, it seems that Sarkaz who died of old age has never appeared in the copywriting of the previous life Ark.
PS: There will be an update soon
Chapter 139: Kujo Jotaro: This substitute's ability is... manipulating time?!
It can be said that what can slow down the progress of An Xiu and others in obtaining Requiem Arrow is not the strength of Polnareff, Diavolo and others, but the speed of finding their hiding places.
Since Passione's sphere of influence extends throughout Italy, Polnareff in the original work was very cautious in hiding in order to protect Requiem Arrow.
He has absolutely no contact with the outside world in a normal way, and will most likely stay in his room every day without even leaving the door. In this case, even if Tokisaki Kurumi can send out many clones, he can only search door to door.
Of course, there is a faster way. As long as An Xiu goes to Rome and releases his senses, he can immediately find Polnareff's hiding place. However, as mentioned before, An Xiu does not intend to do that, but intends to let Kurumi and Sakuya, as clones, do their best.
However, Kurumi did not intend to rely entirely on the fool-proof method of blanket search to obtain Requiem Arrow. While sending out the clones, she also made other preparations.
The avatars in the jojo world have all kinds of magical abilities. It can be said that avatars in all aspects have avatar abilities, including of course the avatars in the intelligence and investigation department.
Tokisaki Kurumi's plan is very simple. Since she won't be able to find anyone for a while, she will ask others to help her find it.
It just so happens that in the original work, there happens to be a person who cares a lot about Polnareff, and he also happens to have an intelligence stand-in by his side.
That is the protagonist of the third part of the jojo series, and the important supporting role of Part 6 in the fourth part, Kujo Jotaro.
Of course, the person with the intelligence ability is not Kujo Jotaro himself, but Joseph Joestar, and his stand-in Hermit Purple can read and write out photos of the approximate location of the target according to the user's purpose.
Even if you have a photo, you still need to find the specific location of the target yourself, but it is still better than Tokisaki Kurumi having his clones infiltrate door to door.
"As long as you have a plan in mind, if that's the case, then I'm ready to watch the show."
Unless the influence of fate causes both Tokisaki Kurumi and Izayoi Sakuya to fail due to force majeure, An Xiu has no intention of taking action in this world.
For him, Stand User is too fragile. If he doesn't control it well, he can kill a large area by sneezing.
If the current An Xiu were to attack with all its strength in this world, it could sink the continental plate with one punch. With such a value, Stand User would be able to kill a pure nuclear bomb to explode a mosquito.
Therefore, it is good to stay in this manor and watch his clone do things. Tokisaki Kurumi obviously understands what An Xiu means very well. Apart from arranging the clone for An Xiu to have fun, he has no intention of asking An Xiu for help.
As the master, An Xiu only needs to have fun, and all other problems should be left to these clones to solve. Even if the master is still the same as when he first time traveled, just an ordinary person with no power, this will not change.
No matter how weak the master is, he is still the master, and no matter how powerful the clone is, he should serve the master and give everything to the master. This is the clone's absolute loyalty.
It can be said that An Xiu's state of not caring about anything and only asking for things in the manor made Tokisaki Kurumi and Izayoi Sakuya happy, because this is exactly the value they embody to their master An Xiu.
A clone like Mobius who would ask An Xiu to help her collect research materials is a different kind of person, although the fundamental purpose is to research better results and help An Xiu.
By the way, this manor now also belongs to Tokisaki Kurumi. Since the clone will be automatically and randomly assigned a reasonable identity by the system when it manifests, although most of the identities have no highlights and are ordinary identities that will not bring any help, occasionally some rarer identities will appear randomly.
Tokisaki Kurumi's random identity in this world is that of a rich lady. Both her parents are dead but she is quite wealthy. This manor is the property under Tokisaki Kurumi's name, but it has now been taken over by Tokisaki Kurumi just gave it to An Xiu, and she, the nominal original owner of the manor, sent a clone to complete the tasks assigned by An Xiu while serving An Xiu in the manor.
jojo world, SPW Foundation headquarters.
In an office somewhere, a phone rang.
Kujo Jotaro, who was sitting on an office chair and flipping through a marine animal magazine, saw this and stood up to answer the phone.
"Is this Mr. Kujo Jotaro?"
"Yes, who are you?"
Listening to the strange girl's voice coming from the other side of the phone, Kujo Jotaro, who had repeatedly confirmed that he had no impression of the voice, asked in a calm tone.
"Alas, it's really not easy to find your phone number, but it seems that I finally found the right person."
"Then let me get straight to the point. I have a piece of information about your companions. Are you interested?"
Information about companions?
Hearing this sentence, Kujo Jotaro frowned slightly.
"Please speak."
On the other end of the phone, Tokisaki Kurumi, who had changed into his regular clothes again and was sitting next to a public phone booth somewhere in Italy, had a smile on his face.
"Do you still remember Polnareff, who went to Europe and Africa to investigate the whereabouts of the arrow? Now he is trapped in Italy in order to protect a special arrow, and is being persecuted miserably by a local gangster organization named Passione."
"What did you say?!"
When Kujo Jotaro, who was in SPW Foundation's office, heard this, his hand holding the phone tightened for a moment.
A few years ago, in order to recover Stand Arrow scattered around the world, Kujo Jotaro and Polnareff worked separately to trace the whereabouts of the arrows. Kujo Jotaro was responsible for America and Asia, while Polnareff was responsible for Europe and Africa.
At first, the two were in contact with each other, but one day, Polnareff suddenly lost contact. Kujo Jotaro, realizing that something might have happened to his former comrade, wanted to investigate, but he had no idea where Polnareff lost contact.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be in Italy?
Kujo Jotaro did not suspect that the person on the other end of the phone was lying to him. After all, he knew about the existence of the arrow, and he could also accurately tell the name of his companion and the purpose of the two's separation. These points alone showed that the other party must have clues about Polnareff.
Of course, this does not mean that Jotaro is not vigilant. It is better to say that Jotaro has already raised his vigilance to the maximum at this moment.
"You deliberately disclosed this information to me. What is your purpose?"
"The purpose is very simple. I also want the special arrow in the hand of your companion. But the situation here is very complicated now. The organization that persecutes your companion is very powerful and has many Stand User, so I need to introduce new variables to make the situation here chaotic."
"By the way, there is a DIO's Descendant who is currently in Italy."
The current timeline of the Jojo world is in August 1999, just a few months after the timeline of the fourth part, and more than a year before the plot of Part 5 begins. Kujo Jotaro in this time period has not yet investigated DIO's Descendant, so this news is undoubtedly another shocking news for Jotaro.
"DIO's Descendant..."
Jotaro murmured to himself.
"That's right, and he is also DIO's most outstanding descendant."
Tokisaki Kurumi responded affirmatively.
If you want to ask why you are so sure...
The moment Tokisaki Kurumi finished speaking, the whole world suddenly fell into stillness.
The clock stopped beating, and thinking stopped at this moment. Only Kujo Jotaro, who was located at the headquarters of SPW Foundation, was frozen in the posture of picking up the phone, but his pupils were constantly vibrating due to the situation in front of him.
Without him, because he was too familiar with this ability, but it was precisely because he was so familiar that Kujo Jotaro felt even more unbelievable at this moment.
"This stand's ability is... manipulating time?!!"
Passione, DIO's Descendant, time manipulation, companions in trouble, countless thoughts flashed through Jotaro's mind at this moment.
Chapter 140: The arrival of Bucciarati's Team and Tokisaki Kurumi trying to open the box
In a phone booth located on the streets of Italy, Tokisaki Kurumi hung up the call.
None of the ordinary words she just said were lies. Polnareff is indeed being persecuted by Passione in order to protect Requiem Arrow, and Italy does have the best descendants of DIO.
After all, Giorno became the protagonist of Part 5. In the original plot, Gold Experience Requiem, one of the apex stand-ins, was awakened and became the godfather of the gang. Isn't it much better than those DIO descendants of Part 6?
She just asked Izayoi Sakuya to use the timer exactly once during the call, and the time was no more or less, exactly nine seconds.
As for what kind of associations the other side would have because of this, it was none of her business.
"Thank you for your cooperation, Miss Sakuya."
Tokisaki Kurumi hung up the phone and said to Izayoi Sakuya on the side.
"Easy to do."
Izayoi Sakuya shook his head at this.
It was just a pause for a few seconds, and it didn't even cost her anything.
"All you need to do is wait patiently. During this period, just concentrate on hunting more Stand User for your master."
In this way, two days passed.
Passione The death of Polpo, the cadre in charge of the new employee assessment, was just the beginning. In the past two days, several Passione Stand User died in mysterious circumstances one after another, and without exception they all died from gunshots.
Obviously, the attacker was the same person as the person who killed Polpo previously.
The direct consequence of this situation is that the entire Passione is agitated up and down.
The death of just one Polpo might also be a vendetta and revenge for personal grudges, but now the attacker is obviously targeting their entire organization. This is undoubtedly the most serious provocation against Passione.
This is no longer an ordinary attacker, he must punch hard!
"That's just the way it is."
In a cafe somewhere in the city, Bruno Bucciarati spoke to several of his teammates.
"Since the attackers have caused serious losses and provocations to the organization, in order to find out the true identity of the attackers and deal with them as soon as possible, BOSS has made it known that as long as the attackers who provoke the organization can be found and killed, they can be directly promoted to cadres as an exception."
After saying that, Bruno Bucciarati looked serious, while several companions sitting in the seats opened their mouths with stunned expressions.
Nothing else, just because this reward is so generous. You must know that as a local gang organization in Italy, Passione, under the secret management of Diavolo, has already spread its influence to many cities across the country, and it is an out-and-out behemoth.
And because the BOSS of Passione, that is, Diavolo, never shows up, and never lets anyone know his true identity and appearance, and even orders are conveyed through remote communication and other means, so the cadres of major organizations who are only subordinate to the BOSS are out-and-out emperors of the earth unless the BOSS directly issues orders.
Take the previously killed cadre Polpo as an example. Even though he was in prison for special reasons, there was still no shortage of people around Polpo trying to curry favor with him. Not only did he build a luxurious suite in the prison, but people also brought him various delicacies every day based on Polpo's preferences.
The many guards in the prison were not so much guarding the prisoners as they were arranged to be Polpo's bodyguards in disguise. Until he was killed, Polpo's life was extremely smooth.
It can be said that the reward currently released by BOSS can be regarded as a great opportunity for countless gang members in Passione to achieve success in one step.
Bruno Bucciarati and others obviously know this and have certain ideas about this reward.
Taking this opportunity to make contributions and become a cadre of the organization is not just the idea of Bruno Bucciarati, but the common expectation of all members of the entire team.
But despite saying that, it was clear that no one had the slightest idea how to find the attacker.
There was no pattern in the attacker's attacks. The only known information was that all members of the organization who died in the attacks were without exception Stand User.
"Judging from this point alone, maybe we may also become the target of the other party's attack."
Pannacotta Fugo, who is a member of Bucciarati's Team, said.
