"Star Platinum: The World!!!"
Then, time stopped.
In an instant, heaven and earth fell silent.
Kars's fleeing body froze in midair, while Jotaro Kujo had already appeared before him, leaping through the air.
"Good grief, what a despicable guy."
After glaring at Kars, Jotaro Kujo arched his body backward in midair at an exaggerated angle, folding his arms across his chest.
Behind him, Star Platinum had already clenched its fists.
"Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora—!!!"
Heavy punches like cannonballs rained down relentlessly upon Kars's body. Yet with time frozen, Kars could not move and could only remain where he was, taking who knew how many blows from Jotaro Kujo's Stand.
The instant time began to flow again, Kars felt as though he had been struck by a fully loaded truck charging at full speed. Not a single bone or scrap of flesh on his body was not screaming in agony.
"Pwah—!"
He spat out another mouthful of blood. Kars, who had just been fleeing, flew back even faster than he had run. Without missing, he and Whammu landed together—one before Caesar, the other before Joseph.
Joseph crouched down, patted Kars's face, and flashed a grin.
"Surprise, motherfucker!"
