My Cowardly Self

Willy Coward was a coward from childhood.

Not fighting back when hit, not talking back when insulted—this extreme cowardice turns into a despicable behavior that everyone finds repulsive.

At school, he was a doormat who was despised and bullied by teachers and classmates.

At home, he was the punching bag for his parents and brothers to beat and abuse.

From the time he could remember, he was burdened with the nickname "Coward Willy" and was bullied by his family, classmates, school bullies, thugs, and all sorts of other people.

It is no exaggeration to say that:

Even a dog would dare to blatantly ride on his head and urinate.

Willy's life was painful and dark, and it only began to change when he met Bucciarati.

That day, he accidentally stumbled upon Bucciarati's battle with another Stand User.

From that day on, he discovered that he could see things that ordinary people could not see, and possessed abilities that ordinary people had never heard of.

Willy cheered with joy.

In order to become stronger, to be respected, to escape humiliation, and to stand above everyone else, Willy humbly knelt on the ground, begging Bucciarati to let him become a member of the revered Passion Organization.

But Bucciarati refused.

This is what he said at the time:

"If you don't have the awareness to become a strong person, continuing down this path will only lead to your death."

"Go back and take the college entrance exam. I won't let you go to Mr. Polpo's place to die."

Willy was thus "cruelly" shut out, and even his eligibility to participate in the test was "ruthlessly" erased.

He could only cling to Bucciarati like a slug, begging for alms, and in the end...

He was severely beaten by Fugo, one of Bucciarati's henchmen, and spent three whole months in the hospital before he could barely recover from his injuries.

After being discharged from the hospital, for some reason, Bucciarati arranged a job for him.

Even if you can't be a core member, you can still be an outer henchman of the organization.

Willy chose to accept.

Although his status was vastly different from what he had imagined, he was able to escape his former humiliation and become a respected gang member.

From then on, Willy began a happy life free from humiliation, feared by others, and even able to bully others.

Until now

"I xxxxxx!"

Vulgar and offensive words, along with foul-smelling spittle, rained down on his head.

An angry thug, still hurling insults, dragged the battered and bruised Willy off the ground like a dog.

"Willy, cowardly Willy."

"Aren't you usually very arrogant? Aren't you usually very capable?"

"He's clearly a stinking sewer rat, yet he dares to ride roughshod over us brothers!"

"Ha ha."

"Now shout it out again for the old men to hear!"

"I"

Willy swallowed hard.

Looking at the dozen or so pairs of eyes burning with rage around him, and the Riot Games with bulging veins, he knew in his heart that if this continued, he might die.

So, Willy finally mustered up his courage and said, trembling, "..."

"I am a trusted confidant of Boss Bucciarati!"

"This job was arranged by Boss Bucciarati. If you... if you try anything against me again, I'll take over Bucciarati's job."

Snap!

A bright slap landed hard on Willy's face.

Willy's head lolled to the side, he spat out blood, and two of his white front teeth flew out with it.

"Pah!"

"A trusted confidant? I'll beat up my trusted confidants!"

The thugs all spat on his head at once.

"Don't you know?"

"That Bucciarati who was protecting you has just become a traitor to the organization!"

"Rubbish."

Willy received several more slaps and a furious roar:

"You used to have Bucciarati protecting you, but you bastard, you just sit on our heads and shit on us every day."

"Now that Bucciarati has fallen, we'd like to see how you die!"

While the fight raged outside, Bucciarati and his group, hidden in the alternate dimension, couldn't help but whisper among themselves:

"Hey, hey."

Fugo gritted his teeth and cursed angrily:

"When did this kid become Bucciarati's confidant?"

"Bucciarati, I think you shouldn't have assigned him this job in the first place!"

"Forehead"

Bucciarati's expression was one of helplessness:

"I went to the trouble of arranging a job for him because I felt sorry for him and wanted to apologize for injuring someone for you."

"I never expected him to be using my name to swindle people."

"Cut!"

Fugo snorted in annoyance:

"Then let's just ignore this guy and let him die."

Bucciarati didn't say anything, but simply turned to look outside.

The violence continues in the alleyways.

The dozen or so thugs seemed no longer satisfied with just punching and kicking Willy; they unknowingly raised steel pipes and sticks at the same time.

"No, no."

Willy, clutching his swollen, bruised lip, knelt and pleaded humbly:

"Spare my life. I'll apologize to you, please stop hitting me!"

"Hahaha."

The thugs let out arrogant laughter:

"You've already chickened out?"

"Boss Bucciarati's 'confidant,' the great 'superpowered individual'!"

"Oh, right."

One of the thugs, on a sudden impulse, kicked Willy in the stomach and cursed:

"Don't you always brag about being a 'Stand User' and a core member like Boss Bucciarati?"

"They even said they could make people see what they're 'most afraid of'."

"Then show us your superpowers!"

"If you can really scare me, I'll let you go."

"I"

Willy trembled and dared not answer.

But the thug suddenly kicked him and cursed:

"Quick!"

"I told you to perform, so perform! What are you dawdling for!"

Yes, yes.

Willy responded with a tearful sigh.

Immediately afterwards, under the slightly curious gazes of Li Qing and Giorno in the alternate dimension, Willy summoned his Stand:

It was a small, thin humanoid stand-in, its entire body gleaming with a pale, lifeless light, and seemingly without any distinguishing features or highlights.

Such a substitute, formed purely from soul power, is naturally invisible to ordinary gangsters.

But when Willy shakily reached out and touched the henchman's body, everything changed.

The small, humanoid stand-in rapidly expanded and deformed, its body gradually becoming fuller and more realistic, to the point that even ordinary people could see its existence.

Final.

To everyone's astonishment and shock, a blonde, blue-eyed young woman appeared right before them.

"This"

The thugs' expressions changed, and they all looked at the thug who had initially forced Willy to perform his abilities:

"Isn't that your wife who appeared out of nowhere?"

"Wait a minute. Is Willie the Willy's superpower to make people see the 'most frightening' thing?"

A mischievous smile immediately spread across their faces:

"You're most afraid of your wife?"

"I"

The muscular man, nearly two meters tall, blushed, feeling utterly ashamed.

"You bastard!"

"I'm a gangster, how could I be afraid of my wife!"

As he spoke, he turned angrily to look at Willy, who was sprawled on the ground:

"I xxx!"

"I asked you to demonstrate your superpowers, and you still dare to take the opportunity to fool me?"

"Go to hell!"

As he spoke, the burly thug suddenly launched a kick, seemingly intent on killing Willy with a single blow.

"No!" Willy cried out in terror.

Just then

That blonde woman was Willy's body double.

She suddenly vanished from her spot and instantly teleported in front of Willy, ultimately blocking the kick with her body.

They managed to block it.

But with that "woman's" fragile and weak body, how could she possibly withstand such a heavy force?

She suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood due to the immense force.

The damage suffered by the Stand was immediately transmitted to its master without reservation, and Willy immediately broke two ribs—it was no different from being directly hit.

"Ah?!"

The burly thug was terrified:

"Wife, I'm sorry!"

"Don't fight back! I didn't mean to spit!"

He suddenly realized what was happening, and his ears turned bright red with embarrassment and anger:

"Willy. Damn Willy."

"How dare you mock me like this! You're not getting away with this today!"
