JOJO hiding in the hunter world

It must be because of his ability. If he could really go head-to-head with Pariston and the Chairman, he should have been isolated and imprisoned directly. There's no way Pariston would be able to see him so easily.

He just said his ability was space-based, which Pariston doesn't quite believe. First, even if he were a space-based ability user, there's no need for the Chairman to hide and secretly deal with him alongside Botobai. Second, there's absolutely no way the Chairman would put a space-based ability user in this prison.

Pariston comforted himself, but he didn't show any of his inner thoughts. Not even a twitch of his facial muscles.

Could it be a threat? Pariston boldly hypothesized that the Chairman was only using the Bodhisattva as a threat to Jotaro, without actually attacking.

This is the most likely answer. Jotaro doesn't seem to be seriously injured. Whether he was forcibly arrested by Botobai or the Chairman, there's no way he could have recovered so quickly.

Moreover, if the Chairman used Bodhisattva to fight, it couldn't be concealed. Botobai's special skill is also incredibly destructive, but there haven't been any news reports of Bodhisattva manifesting or buildings exploding in that city.

If there had been such news, Pariston wouldn't have been searching for so long; he would have found out that day.

It doesn't make sense. Bodhisattva's destructive power isn't even as great as Botobai's power (Pariston hasn't seen Bodhisattva Zero, nor has he seen Bodhisattva at full power). If it's enough to threaten Botobai, why would Botobai invite the Chairman?

So, Jotaro's definitely not difficult to deal with in terms of combat power. Instead, he has some secret, and it's so important that Botobai doesn't dare to handle it rashly. (Botobai and Pariston have a bad relationship; Botobai can't stand Pariston sitting in the Vice Chairman's position.)

Asking Botobai directly definitely won't get him anywhere; Botobai would definitely shut him down. It's better to ask the source of all the problems, Jotaro Kujo, directly.

Actually, this is just a gamble. He has a hunch that this Jotaro Kujo and that organization called Passione definitely have problems.

Even if Jotaro Kujo doesn't have any problems, he can try to recruit him. After all, someone whom Botobai had to personally deal with must have his own unique qualities.

He came this time to test the waters. If there's a hidden secret, great. If not, it doesn't matter anyway; it's not a big deal.

"I didn't expect you to be a space-based ability user, but it's not enough! There's no way the Chairman would specifically come forward to capture you just because you're a space-based ability user. Trust me, I have a way to get you out."

"Yare yare daze, you might have misunderstood something. I didn't come to this prison as a criminal!"

"I'm cooperating with the Chairman; he arranged for me to come to this prison. As for why I'm a prisoner now, it's just because I don't have the ambition to play with him. I'll be able to get out in half a year."

"Pfft." Pariston covered his mouth, trying to suppress his laughter. "Sorry, excuse me. I didn't expect there to be such naive people in the world! Do you think you'll have a chance to get out after you come in?"

"I can leave anytime now. Don't underestimate a space-based ability user!" Jon was still relieved about this. There were no drugs to suppress Nen in his food. If the Chairman wanted to imprison him, he would definitely find a way to force him into a state of Zetsu.

Even if drugs to suppress Nen were used, Jon could use Pearl Jam to eliminate the negative effects.

"I'm very curious. Why did Botobai invite the Chairman to recruit you, and why were they doing it so secretly?"

"What price are you willing to pay?" There's no such thing as a free lunch. If you want to know the answer, you have to pay a price.

"I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer for 1 billion Jenny."

For the sake of money, Jon decided to tell him something real. From the manga he watched in his previous life, it's not hard to see that Pariston's purpose is to seek pleasure. To put it bluntly, he's a thrill-seeker.

Of course, it can't be ruled out that the later manga might contradict this, and he actually has a deeper purpose. However, Jon doesn't know Pariston's bottom line and killing markers.

Moreover, when the time comes to go to the Dark Continent, it's inevitable to have a good relationship with him. Following the Association's exploration team is just courting death; none of you look like you'll live long.

"Let me state in advance that the Chairman had already guessed that someone would come to ask me about these things, so I made a restriction and vow that I can't tell you some information."

"Because I want to go to the Dark Continent, but I know very little about the Dark Continent."

Pariston put away his smile. He had thought of many possibilities, and this was one of them, but the probability was small.

"Regarding related information, the Chairman and I agreed that I can only reveal related information after his death, but in fact, that information will also lose its effect due to his death."

"But I hereby predict: Ants form a rope."

The Chimera Ants killed the Chairman, which triggered a series of subsequent plots related to exploring the Dark Continent. If the Chairman is the gatekeeper of the old era, then the Chimera Ants are the fuse that ignites the new era.

This explanation works. The agreement the Chairman made with Jon before included not revealing the Chairman's prediction about the new era to others.

Jon can only take a different approach, but in order to maintain the following plot, in order to minimize the destruction of the plot, Jon does not intend to tell him any clear directional information.

"Ants form a rope? That's all?"

"Yes, I didn't even tell the Chairman this. You're the only one who knows. This is the destined trajectory, but because I told the Chairman some things before, the trajectory of fate has shifted, and I don't know what will happen."

As expected, playing the mystic is the safest approach. Pariston is indeed the first person to know this prophecy. He only told the Chairman that he would die from the invasion of creatures from the Dark Continent, but he didn't tell him what it was.

If Pariston can really decipher it, Jon can only consider him awesome and admit defeat.

"Alright, it's getting late. I have to go. When I get out, just give me a card with 1 billion Jenny."

"Don't be in such a hurry to leave, Mr. Jotaro Kujo. I'm also very interested in your Passione organization, but it's not convenient to talk about it now. I'll treat you to a good drink when you get out."

"No need for a drink. I don't trust you; you're too dangerous."

"By the way, I'll give you a word of advice here: The Chairman wouldn't use the method of treating you as a prisoner to retaliate against you for not playing with him. He definitely has other purposes, especially since you're a space-based ability user."

"Also, this prison once held an extremely dangerous and incredible person. The Chairman is also strictly sealing off information about this person. I can't get any related information, but I heard that it was someone whom even the Chairman was wary of and felt troublesome."
