Psychopathic Killer
Diavolo used his speed to Time Erasure far away.
Killer Queen's hand was still suspended in mid-air, like a late student hesitating at the classroom door, unable to go in or back, and could only stand there awkwardly enjoying the gazes of the teacher and classmates.
Its master, Yoshikage Kira, also stood in the same spot, his gaze towards Diavolo filled with resentment:
"They detected it beforehand again."
"It's exactly the same situation as when I detonated the photos before."
"Does that guy have some kind of mind-reading or precognitive ability? Damn it, how am I supposed to kill this invincible guy?!"
He harbored an endless killing intent within him, but had nowhere to release it.
If he could, Yoshikage Kira would absolutely want to kill Diavolo to silence him.
Therefore, upon discovering that the power of the Crazy Diamond was sufficient to suppress the King Crimson, he immediately mustered the courage to stand up and resist.
Unfortunately, the outcome was not as good as a clean and decisive victory.
Diavolo escaped unharmed and stared intently at Yoshikage Kira with a menacing gaze.
Yoshikage Kira hates being threatened by someone's expertise, because it makes him feel that his peaceful life could be gone at any moment.
At this moment, Josuke Higashikata also vaguely sensed the tense and hostile atmosphere between the two.
Anger didn't burn out his brain.
He temporarily halted his suffocating offensive and turned his sharp gaze to Yoshikage Kira:
"That foreigner isn't your friend, is he?"
"No."
Yoshikage Kira gritted his teeth and replied.
Since things have completely fallen out, there's no point in him pretending to be a good boy in front of Diavolo anymore.
He decided to go all in and bring Josuke Higashikata to his side, hoping to join forces to kill the bastard who held his biggest secret.
If we act quickly and ruthlessly enough to shut that bastard up forever, he can go back to a normal and happy life.
Moreover, even if we fail.
Yoshikage Kira had thought it through. As long as he held onto that arrow tightly, Diavolo wouldn't dare to give up his bargaining chip so easily.
He wouldn't expose Yoshikage Kira's murderous nature just to vent his anger; he would definitely keep that hand hidden and use it as leverage to continue threatening Yoshikage Kira.
Therefore, Yoshikage Kira realized that there was almost no risk in resisting Diavolo now.
Therefore, he began to vehemently denounce Diablo in front of Diavolo Josuke Higashikata:
"That guy, I don't even know his name."
Yoshikage Kira genuinely did not know Diavolo's name.
Because Diavolo had learned his lesson from Li Qing, he realized that he couldn't always guarantee that he would kill someone to cover his tracks after throwing his weight around, so he stopped announcing his identity when he killed someone.
"But... that guy is a psychopathic killer!"
Yoshikage Kira did not hesitate to accuse Diavolo.
He also understood very well how to arouse the sense of justice in a warm-hearted and kind-hearted young man:
"The injuries I just sustained were actually inflicted by him!"
"And my father. My poor old father."
"He's already killed them!"
Amidst Yoshikage Kira's tearful denunciation, Josuke Higashikata realized the gravity of the situation:
That rude foreigner was clearly more than just an ordinary, foul-mouthed passerby.
Moreover, judging from the fact that the other party just chopped his own head with a hand chop without hesitation, his killing methods were indeed quite skilled.
"Psychopathic serial killer"
"It seems this situation is about to escalate seriously."
Josuke Higashikata looked at Diavolo with great vigilance.
At the same time, he also approached with Crazy Diamond, protecting Yoshikage Kira behind him.
Diavolo's face immediately turned extremely ugly.
However, what he didn't expect was that even worse things were yet to come:
"That guy's abilities are strange, very bizarre."
"My attack was about to hit him, but after a moment of 'stunt'..."
"My Crazy Diamond was still punching the air when that guy appeared behind me along with his Stand."
"That feeling."
Josuke Higashikata frowned deeply, carefully analyzing the situation:
"It's as if time has been erased."
"Huh?" Diavolo's cheek twitched upon hearing this.
A sudden storm raged within him:
It was just two moments of being momentarily stunned; shouldn't a normal person be thinking about "mind control"?
How come you can connect the correct answer to "reducing time" the moment you open your mouth?
I haven't explained anything yet!
Diavolo was extremely uneasy when his most important secret was revealed to him in an instant.
To be able to discern the truth about King Crimson's abilities after only two viewings—is this due to that kid Josuke Higashikata's vivid imagination, or did he already know about King Crimson from the beginning?
What drove Diavolo to despair was that the truth was indeed the latter.
Jotaro talked to Josuke Higashikata on the phone about what he Italy, including the King Crimson's unpredictable abilities, and even described Diavolo's physical characteristics.
"Wait. Pink hair, European, around thirty years old."
"Except for not wearing tight-fitting see-through black stockings, everything else matches up."
Josuke Higashikata pondered this, his gaze towards Diavolo suddenly took on a strange quality:
"You wouldn't happen to be Diavolo, the mafia boss Jotaro mentioned who went missing and fled, would you?"
"Weren't you Italy? What are you doing here!"
Diavolo's face instantly turned even uglier than Yoshikage Kira's had been:
Jotaro. This kid actually knows Jotaro!
And he even knows my name, my appearance, and my Stand ability!
You bump into any troublesome guy on the street who turns out to be one of Jotaro's henchmen. How can the ill-fated relationship between Stand User be this bad?!
Diavolo felt almost suffocated.
This means that his operation in Morioh had not even had a smooth start before it was completely exposed to the enemy.
What's worse, he didn't even have the ability to kill someone to cover it up.
Josuke Higashikata, Yoshikage Kira
Looking at this strange battle alliance before him, Diavolo's heart sank:
Dealing with just one Josuke Higashikata was already difficult enough, and that was only when Crazy Diamond was using brute force.
His super-strong support ability to instantly heal the human body, coupled with Yoshikage Kira, a reliable teammate who is determined to kill and silence witnesses and will never slack off, can create an effect greater than the sum of its parts.
If it's this difficult to fight a healer alone, how can you fight with a Ziggs on top of that?
Diavolo knew that he had absolutely no chance of winning against two opponents at once.
He couldn't fight this battle; he had no choice but to retreat.
"Damn it."
Diavolo glared at Yoshikage Kira with intense resentment:
Do you think you have a chance to get rid of me cleanly and efficiently this way?
"You, plus that guy with the middle-parted cow-dung hair."
He promptly updated his description of Josuke Higashikata's hairstyle with a sarcastic remark, making Josuke so Josuke Higashikata that his hair trembled on both sides:
"Even if the two of you are tied together, you still can't keep me here!"
"Heh. Yoshikage Kira."
"It's time to recognize the reality of the situation and abandon any illusions!"
As he spoke, he reached into his bulging suit pocket.
Yoshikage Kira's heart skipped a beat.
Then, Diavolo showed no intention of fighting him.
Not only did Diavolo not make a move, he even took several steps back:
"I'll spare your life this time."
"I hope you'll be more sensible in the future and won't provoke me again."
"Otherwise, as I just said, I'll show you what I'm capable of."
As he spoke, under Yoshikage Kira's almost pleading and helpless gaze, Diavolo still coldly reached into his pocket.
Then, perhaps angered by Yoshikage Kira's actions, or perhaps to teach him a more profound lesson.
Diavolo actually pulled the severed hand slightly out of his pocket.
Yoshikage Kira's 46th girlfriend was thus blatantly exposed to her third man.
"Hand! Hand?!"
Josuke Higashikata had never seen such a powerful and impactful sight before.
He was immediately horrified by this chilling scene, and the hairs on his body stood on end.
Meanwhile, Diavolo, supporting Josuke Higashikata in utter astonishment, secretly mouthed a message to the ashen-faced Yoshikage Kira:
"Take good care of my things, and don't say things you shouldn't say."
"I'll come back to you soon."
The message was delivered, and the King Crimson activated Time Erasure once again.
Diavolo's figure thus completely disappeared from the consciousness of Josuke Higashikata and Yoshikage Kira.
By the time they recovered from their daze, the pink-haired middle-aged man and his pink octopus head had vanished.
"Damn it. There's absolutely no way to keep him."
Yoshikage Kira's face was completely black, and he looked terrifyingly gloomy.
Josuke Higashikata was still in shock.
He grabbed Yoshikage Kira in disbelief and asked:
"A hand? Why is that guy carrying a hand in his pocket?"
"What on earth is he doing?!"
"Forehead"
Yoshikage Kira's expression became even more subtle.
He couldn't very well say that Diavolo was using his girlfriend to threaten him into obeying.
"Because... you know."
"He's a psychopathic killer."
Yoshikage Kira replied with an embarrassed expression.
