Soft & Wet: Requiem

The Stand Arrow plunged violently into the heart of Soft & Wet. No one expected that the point of contact would become the epicenter for cracks spreading across its body.

"Just like Giorno, yet different. These injuries are real."

"Jujutsu Mufeng, don't move! Let me heal you!"

Just as Josuke was about to maneuver Crazy Diamond toward Kira Mufeng, Jotaro Kujo held him back.

"Don't get closer! There are bombs from Yoshikage Kira ahead!"

Yoshikage Kira would never pass up such a golden opportunity. He picked up gravel from the ground and flicked it with his fingers; as it pierced Kira Mufeng's right arm, it detonated with a roar, instantly filling the air with dust and smoke.

"Fate! It has always stood on the side of me, Yoshikage Kira!"

"Jujutsu Mufeng!"

Yoshikage Kira threw his head back and laughed. At that moment, a photograph drifted from the sky into the smoke. The old man emerging from the photo was none other than Yoshihiro Kira, who had come to retrieve his Stand Arrow.

"Damn it, I can't let this arrow, which can awaken Stands, fall into that old man's hands. Koichi, Josuke, and Okuyasu, I leave Yoshikage Kira to you."

Jotaro Kujo had only taken a few steps forward when the smoke cleared, revealing that Yoshihiro Kira was being held by the throat in a death grip by Kira Mufeng.

"Hah—I feel like I can do anything now!"

Behind Kira Mufeng, the appearance of Soft & Wet had changed drastically. It wore a large pirate hat, one eye covered by an eyepatch, and its chest bore a design combining a giant ship anchor with a skull.

Its gentle aura had vanished, replaced by an air of someone intent on plundering everything in the world.

Kira Mufeng let out a long breath. He had nearly died just moments ago, but fortunately, thanks to the Reverse Cursed Technique of his counterpart, Jujutsu Mufeng, he had managed to push Soft & Wet past its limits and reach the Requiem state through constant self-destruction and restoration.

"You've developed self-awareness, haven't you, Soft & Wet? Let me see your power as a Requiem."

"As you wish, my Captain! Let us take everything in the world into our possession!"

Soft & Wet had become a boisterous pirate. It spread its hands toward Yoshikage Kira, who had attacked earlier, and released dozens of bubbles from its palms that drifted lazily toward him.

"Second Bomb—Sheer Heart Attack."

The skull-shaped tank appeared, locked onto Kira Mufeng, and sped toward him. Simultaneously, Yoshikage Kira flicked the stones in his hand at the bubbles, intending to trigger an explosion to wipe out Soft & Wet's attack in one go.

"A decent explosive ability. But anything I set my eyes on belongs to me!"

The bubbles suddenly accelerated, swallowing the incoming stones, and the pebbles that should have exploded simply vanished.

Dozens of bubbles reached Yoshikage Kira in an instant, swelling rapidly as they closed in.

Boom—

Yoshikage Kira crossed the arms of Killer Queen to shield his chest, but the continuous, close-range explosions were relentless. The immense impact sent him flying like a ragdoll, dragging him three or four meters across the ground. His clothes were shredded, and his entire back was rubbed raw and bloody by the debris.

"Impossible. What exactly did your Stand do? How could your bubbles absorb the explosion of Killer Queen? Just how many abilities does your Stand have?"

Time and time again, ever since he met Kira Mufeng, the peaceful life he craved had vanished. He had tried every method to eliminate those who knew his secret and to change his identity, yet he was always thwarted.

It had only been nearly two days, yet he had been pushed to the brink of ruin. He, Yoshikage Kira, was a man favored by fate—how could he die here!

As if by the arrangement of fate, a woman suddenly appeared on the empty street and walked up to Yoshikage Kira, asking with concern, "Sir, sir, you're bleeding so much. I'm a doctor; let me treat you."

The woman knelt to bandage him, but Yoshikage Kira, a pervert, paid her no mind. As she reached out, he grabbed her hand and, like a dog, extended his tongue to lick from the back of her hand all the way to her palm.

"Sir, please stop! Stop it!"

The woman was clearly terrified and tried to pull her hand back, but a frail woman was no match for the strength of an adult man, and she remained trapped in Yoshikage Kira's grip.

"Stop him! Prevent him from moving!"

Jotaro Kujo, relying on the instincts honed through years of combat, felt that this action by Yoshikage Kira might be the prerequisite for activating a special Stand ability.

At this moment, the despair in his heart had accumulated enough; trapped in a desperate situation, he had met the conditions for Bites the Dust.

"Star Platinum, The World!"

Time stopped in that instant. Two seconds is enough to do many things. He maneuvered Star Platinum to dash forward, but he was too far from Yoshikage Kira to stop him from pressing his thumb to trigger Bites the Dust.

Crackle—

In this frozen world, a bubble quietly exploded beside Jotaro Kujo. It was a bubble from Kira Mufeng's Stand, Soft & Wet. What kind of ability was this, to ignore his time stop?

"Mr. Jotaro, let me borrow your time stop for a moment."

"The World! Heh, Captain, this ability is truly useful!"

Two seconds passed, and the time stop released by Soft & Wet once again blanketed the entire area.

"Star Platinum's ability still exists; this is a copy ability. Yare yare, what a terrifying power."

Kira Mufeng did not rush toward Yoshikage Kira. With a flick of a finger, Soft & Wet: Go Beyond caused a bubble to burst between Kira Mufeng and Yoshikage Kira.

In that moment, the space between Kira Mufeng and Yoshikage Kira was stripped away as the bubble burst, and Kira Mufeng arrived before Yoshikage Kira as if he had teleported.

"Soft & Wet: Go Beyond, steal the ability of Killer Queen. He likes explosions so much, let this piece of trash experience it himself. An eye for an eye."

"A fine idea. I'll leave the trigger to him."

Soft & Wet: Go Beyond grabbed Yoshikage Kira's head with both hands. At that moment, Yoshikage Kira had become a bomb. Two seconds passed, and time began to flow once more.

"The one who wins is me, Yoshikage Kira!"

Yoshikage Kira pressed his thumb down with a click, and just like the countless women he had murdered in the past, he exploded into pieces.

"What on earth is happening? Why did this perverted serial killer just explode? Wait, Mr. Jotaro, Mr. Mufeng, why are you two fighting?"

The moment Yoshikage Kira died, Jotaro Kujo commanded Star Platinum to unleash a torrential barrage of Ora punches against Kira Mufeng, all of which were blocked by Soft & Wet: Go Beyond using its bubbles as a protective shield.

"My son! Kira!! Damn you, damn you, damn you! I will make you pay with your life for my son!"

Having been spared by Kira Mufeng and narrowly escaping death, Yoshihiro Kira had completely lost his mind. Just moments ago, he had set up and activated a large number of cameras in the surrounding area, and photographs began to flutter out from the trees, the lawn, the rooftops, and beyond.

"I will make all of you pay with your lives for my son!"
