Jotaro Kujo's Preconceptions; Sakuya Izayoi Appears / Jotaro Kujo's Grim Resolve; The Power to Accelerate Time

"Sorry, Polnareff, I'm late."

This time, Polnareff finally no longer had any doubts, but he still felt unbelievable about the situation in front of him. After all, happiness came too suddenly, and he was already prepared to fight alone or even die in Italy.

"Jotaro... is it really you? How did you find this place?!"

Polnareff I don't know how to describe my feelings, excitement, joy, happiness? There are all these emotions, but the largest proportion of them is undoubtedly the sense of peace of mind that I no longer have to fight alone, and that my once most reliable companion is back by my side.

"Someone contacted me and informed me of your situation and general whereabouts, and then I found this place with the help of the old man's stand-in ability."

Kujo Jotaro replied.

"The situation here is very complicated now. There are Stand User, DIO's Descendant who can predict the future, and the stand-in ability that can stop time just like the original DIO, and Passione. It is very dangerous to stay here with your current physical condition. I will arrange for someone to send you away as soon as possible."

Seeing his former comrades again and witnessing Polnareff's current miserable situation, it was natural that Kujo Jotaro's heart would not be without emotional fluctuations.

But he knew that now was by no means a time for him and Polnareff to chat and reminisce about old times. On the contrary, the two of them were in an extremely dangerous situation. The powerful Stand User, who did not know whether he was an enemy or a friend, was watching in the dark, and even he felt bursts of pressure.

But this common statement made Polnareff dumbfounded.

"Predict the future? DIO's Descendant? A stand-in that can stop time like DIO?"

Damn it, hasn't he just been hiding for a few years? How come the situation outside has become so much that he doesn't even recognize it?

Indeed, compared with what Kujo Jotaro said, the things of Passione can be put aside a little.

Obviously, neither of them knows that Passione has been destroyed in name only by Tokisaki Kurumi. Even the leader of the organization, Diavolo, has been imprisoned in Shadow Space, and has fallen into a situation where he cannot survive or die.

"By the way, I have discovered a special arrow over the years. Different from ordinary arrows, this arrow seems to be able to elevate the avatar to a new level. I will take it out."

Pushing the wheelchair to a certain corner of the room, Polnareff carefully took out the Requiem Arrow that he had hidden.

"Is this Requiem Arrow?"

Looking at the golden Stand Arrow in Polnareff's hand, Kujo Jotaro knew in his heart that this was the goal that the person behind the scenes wanted to get even if he was lured here.

Now, since the opponent's target has appeared, that is to say...

"Be careful!"

There was a sound like the rotation of clock gears, and before Kujo Jotaro could shout out, the world fell into black and white, and everything came to a standstill at this moment.

A burst of elegant and indifferent footsteps sounded outside the door that Kujo Jotaro had walked through before, and then several Silver Throwing Knife were shot out, aiming directly at the Requiem Arrow in Polnareff's hand.

Chapter 149: Kujo Jotaro's stereotype, Izayoi Sakuya appears

"This substitute's ability... is really about manipulating time."

Looking at the world that seemed to be at a standstill in front of him, Kujo Jotaro understood that the real enemy was coming.

Different from the previous Tokisaki Kurumi, although Kujo Jotaro knew that the other party had been planning to use him, Tokisaki Kurumi himself From the beginning, we cut off the forest and cut off the Jiacong. The last name of the couple is the last name of the family.

But now, with this familiar ability to manipulate time, and the flying knife that flies towards his companions without hesitation, the person who came has unabashedly revealed the identity of his enemy to Kujo Jotaro.

Kujo Jotaro has not experienced this feeling of being stuck in time for many years. The last time he had this experience was in Cairo, Egypt.

But now, whether it was the previous experience during the phone call at SPW Foundation headquarters, or the current close-up experience, it is undoubtedly proved that this terrible substitute ability has really appeared again.

In the dark and dilapidated room, several silver flying knives flew a certain distance and then stopped in front of Polnareff. Kujo Jotaro was not surprised by this situation.

In other words, it was precisely because he knew clearly that when time stopped, flying objects like flying knives would automatically stop after flying for a certain distance, so Kujo Jotaro did not immediately launch a counterattack.

Unless there are too many flying knives, as long as all the flying knives can be knocked away at the moment when time stops, then these attacks will not pose much of a threat.

However, although he has experience in dealing with similar situations, Kujo Jotaro understands that the current situation is still very unfavorable to him.

Without him, for Stand User who has the ability to stop time, the key factor that determines his strength largely depends on whether Stand User can do more things in a limited time, especially when both himself and the enemy have the ability to stop time.

But now, compared to the enemy who has not shown up, Kujo Jotaro is surrounded by his partner Polnareff.

Having the help of companions is naturally an advantage under normal circumstances. After all, one more person means more strength. Although Polnareff is in poor condition now, judging from previous attacks, the stand-in still has good offensive capabilities.

But the problem is that in this battle with the ability to stop time, Polnareff will not stop, and cannot maintain consciousness or actions when time stops.

In other words, unless Kujo Jotaro abandons his companions, to the enemy, Polnareff, who is unable to move in a wheelchair and cannot move in a world where time has stopped, is a living target that cannot move.

As long as the opponent keeps attacking Polnareff, even if Kujo Jotaro's stand-in Star Platinum can also pause time and can therefore move in a world where time has stopped for a few seconds, it will not be able to actively attack due to the rat trap.

Could it be said that this is the reason why the other party chose to take action at this time?

At this moment, the time stop ended, and the black and white world seemed to return to color again. The flying knife that was originally stagnant in front of Polnareff also flew forward again, but was punched away by Star Platinum who appeared next to Kujo Jotaro.

"What happened?"

At this moment, Polnareff, who was ignorant of everything he had experienced while time stopped, could not react to what happened because he could not move in a world where time stopped.

Kujo Jotaro on the side was staring at the door of the room not far away.

I saw a female figure appearing outside the door of Polnareff's room.

She has short silver shoulder-length hair and wears a blue and white maid uniform. Her blue pupils are plain but a bit sharp, making people not look down upon her at all because of her identity as a woman.

Looking at Kujo Jotaro who was facing a formidable enemy in the room, and Polnareff who finally knew what might have happened just now without his knowledge, Izayoi Sakuya looked at Requiem Arrow who was still being held by the other party at this time.

This was the purpose of her trip, but it was a pity that the other party would not easily give her what the owner needed.

"Since possessing the ability to manipulate time, this is the first time that someone has been able to retain consciousness in the time that was stagnated by me. Now in this world, Mr. Kujo Jotaro should be the only one who can do this."

"From this point of view, you are worthy of being the man who killed that DIO."

Just listen to Izayoi Sakuya say.

"Having the power to manipulate time, who are you and what is your purpose?"

Kujo Jotaro asked.

Izayoi Sakuya's initiative to speak did not make him relax at all, and Kujo Jotaro did not take the other party's compliments to heart.

Right now, all he cares about is Izayoi Sakuya's identity and his purpose.

"My wife, Izayoi Sakuya, is just a maid serving my master. The purpose of this trip is to retrieve Requiem Arrow, which has special power, on my master's order."

"Regarding this, Miss Kurumi must have told Mr. Jotaro that if possible, I actually don't want to do anything to you two."

"As long as you and your companions are willing to hand over the Requiem Arrow in your hands, then I can promise that I will let you two go after getting the Requiem Arrow."

Faced with Kujo Jotaro's question, Izayoi Sakuya calmly replied.

Unfortunately, when faced with Izayoi Sakuya's proposal, Kujo Jotaro just shook his head.

"If you want it, just come and get it yourself."

He didn't trust the Izayoi Sakuya in front of him, nor did he believe the other party's words.

At this time, Kujo Jotaro has a somewhat stereotyped impression of Izayoi Sakuya.

After all, time stopped, knives flew, and he also took the initiative to mention DIO. Although Kujo Jotaro doesn't like to hastily identify a person's identity based on other people's words and guesses, there are really too many factors in Izayoi Sakuya at the moment.

With so many coincidences, not to mention Kujo Jotaro, even Polnareff who only listened to it with a vague understanding immediately thought of the old enemy who was defeated and killed by Stardust Crusaders in Egypt.

Naturally, neither Kujo Jotaro nor Polnareff is willing to hand over Requiem Arrow to the Izayoi Sakuya in front of them.

Izayoi Sakuya was not surprised by this. She had been prepared for this situation from the beginning.

It is true that Kujo Jotaro and Polnareff are both very good Stand User, but what they are facing now is Izayoi Sakuya.

For Izayoi Sakuya, even if the two of them are unwilling to cooperate, the process is just a little more troublesome, but the result will not change.

The flying knife that was thrown earlier returned to the hand again at some point. The next second, the sound like the rotation of clock gears sounded again. Under the stagnation of time, the world seemed to fall into black and white again.

At the same time, countless flying knives enveloped Kujo Jotaro and Polnareff from all directions.

Obviously, this time it is no longer just a greeting as before.

Chapter 150: The heaviness of Kujo Jotaro, the power to accelerate time

"Canteen Spicy Sauce!"(Star Platinum)

Facing the flying knives that enveloped him and Polnareff from all directions, Kujo Jotaro did not choose to wait for a timeout to end the counterattack this time. Instead, he directly controlled Star Platinum to knock away all the approaching flying knives.

After all, there are too many flying knives this time. If the opponent is allowed to continue attacking, even with the speed and precision of Star Platinum, Kujo Jotaro is not sure that it can block the flying knives from all directions at the moment when the time stop ends.

However, the time that you and Star Platinum can act in a world where time stops is limited. Without knowing the other party's limits, every second of action time is very precious.

Therefore, Kujo Jotaro did not try to get closer to Izayoi Sakuya in the world where time stopped and launch an attack. He just controlled Star Platinum to fly away all the flying knives and then fell into stagnation again.

And Izayoi Sakuya has no intention of approaching. As the protagonist of the third part of the JOJO series, Kujo Jotaro's stand-in [Star Platinum] has a personality that can be called the entire JOJO series. The only numerical value among all melee avatars in the O series. Even as the BOSS avatar in the third part, the avatar [World], which also has double A attributes of power and speed, is completely suppressed by the terrifying value of Star Platinum in melee situations.

On the other hand, although Izayoi Sakuya's physical fitness is also very strong, the overall quality is not much beyond the scope of ordinary humans. It is not that Izayoi Sakuya suppressed Izayoi Sakuya's strength when An Xiu first appeared, but that no matter which version of the setting, Izayoi Sakuya is not the kind of character who is good at physical fitness.

If he approaches rashly without precautions, even if Star Platinum, Kujo Jotaro's stand-in, has a limited time to move in the stopped state, Izayoi Sakuya will not be able to withstand the attack once it launches.

But if this happens, the situation will be temporarily deadlocked.

It only takes a few tenths of a second for Kujo Jotaro's Star Platinum to clear Izayoi Sakuya's flying knives, but the time it can take action during a pause is several seconds. It would take at least a dozen rounds of attacks to exhaust Kujo Jotaro's action time with flying knives alone.

Moreover, Kujo Jotaro himself is not stupid. He will definitely leave some action time to guard against Izayoi Sakuya. As for the flying knives, no matter how many there are, Kujo Jotaro can catch up with his own time stop after Izayoi Sakuya's time stop ends to deal with these flying knives.

In other words, it is difficult to tell the winner between Izayoi Sakuya and Kujo Jotaro based on the ability of time and stop alone. Star Platinum's advantage in close combat is too huge.

Although if it continues to be consumed, the final winner must be Izayoi Sakuya. After all, Stand User usually consumes energy when using his stand-in ability, but Izayoi Sakuya is different. The operation of stopping time is almost completely cost-effective for Izayoi Sakuya. If Izayoi Sakuya wants to, he can even rest and pause at the same time, directly restoring energy in the time-stop state.

As long as it takes a few hours, Kujo Jotaro's energy will inevitably decrease. If it takes ten and a half days, even an iron man cannot bear it.

For JOJO World, it only takes a few seconds to stop, which seems extremely scary, but for Izayoi Sakuya, it can last forever.

However, Izayoi Sakuya does not want this kind of victory. This way of winning the battle by outsmarting the opponent seems a bit too ugly to Izayoi Sakuya.

As a maid of the master, it is natural to win for the master. Relying on this method to win will only bring shame to the master. Since you want to win, you should win beautifully.

It is true that it is difficult to tell the winner between Izayoi Sakuya and Kujo Jotaro when only time stops are used, but the ability to control time is never limited to time stops.

The black and white world faded, and not far away, Kujo Jotaro, realizing that the time stop had ended, immediately stepped forward, wanting to close the distance with the enemy, and then manipulated Star Platinum to launch an attack on the enemy's body.

However, the next second.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Several flying knives hit him at a speed that Kujo Jotaro couldn't react to. Their speed was so fast that even Star Platinum couldn't stop him in time.

You know, at the speed of Star Platinum, you can easily catch bullets fired at the head even from close range. Is it possible that these flying knives are faster than bullets?

Kujo Jotaro looked solemnly and summoned Star Platinum to stand in front of him, guarding against the opponent's attack.

Unexpectedly, under the gaze of Kujo Jotaro, the figure of Izayoi Sakuya not far from the door of the room disappeared.

"Jotaro, watch your back!"

Polnareff's urgent shout came from behind. Before Kujo Jotaro could react, Izayoi Sakuya appeared behind Kujo Jotaro at some unknown time and waved Silver Throwing Knife in his hand.

Poof!

In just an instant, several blood marks appeared on Kujo Jotaro's back, and the blood instantly stained Kujo Jotaro's clothes red.

As for Kujo Jotaro and Polnareff, they couldn't even see the movements of Izayoi Sakuya clearly.

"Damn it, Silver Chariot!"

The stand-in holding a Western sword brandished the weapon under the control of Polnareff and launched an attack on Izayoi Sakuya. The airtight shadow of the sword enveloped everything within a few meters of the surrounding area.

At the same time, Kujo Jotaro also turned around and manipulated Star Platinum to attack the position behind him.

Unfortunately, when the two men's attacks fell, Izayoi Sakuya's figure had already left the place and appeared in another place.

"Is this also the opponent's substitute ability?"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Kujo Jotaro felt very heavy.

The ability that the other party showed just now is undoubtedly not just about stopping time. In other words, the other party also has another substitute ability.

Judging from the form of expression, it seems that he can speed up the attack and even the speed of action in an instant to the point where even his Star Platinum cannot react. It is just like... speeding up time?

Wait, acceleration time... could it be said?!

"It seems that you have guessed what happened just now."

Noticing Kujo Jotaro's pupils constricted as if he suddenly realized something, Izayoi Sakuya shook off the blood on the flying knife and calmly spoke to the two people in front of him.

"Well, now would you like to reconsider my previous proposal with your companions?"

Hand over Requiem Arrow and you can let them leave.

This is the promise Izayoi Sakuya made to the two of them from the very beginning of the battle.

At present, the other party has shown another terrifying ability besides stopping time. Following the other party's suggestion, handing over Requiem Arrow and leaving seems to be the best choice.
