JOJO hiding in the hunter world
#20 - :King of Kings
A red figure flashed, gradually enlarging to reveal a red-clothed strongman with glaring, forgiveness-green eyes and a white, mesh-patterned hat like Mi4da's. On his forehead was a green, toothache-stricken face.
That's right, it's Big Boss Diavolo's Stand, [King Crimson]. Destructive Power: A, Speed: A, Range: E, Persistence: E, Precision: B, Potential: ???
The official stats didn't give it, so when designing the game, Jon privately set the Potential to B.
Jon wasn't envious of King Crimson's A-rank power and speed. Stone Free could achieve that too, and once Stone Free matured, its power and speed wouldn't be inferior to King Crimson's, plus Stone Free's persistence was far superior.
What Jon wanted most was King Crimson's ability.
Firstly, [Time Erase]. When activated, it could erase time, and everyone would lose the memory of what happened during the erased time. Only the user of King Crimson could react to events during this time.
Time Erase could erase the process of what happened during that time, except for King Crimson's master, directly reaching the result. For example, Narancia ate chocolate during the erased time, but in Narancia's memory, he didn't eat it. This ability is somewhat similar to DIO's Time Stop; during the erased time, no one except himself can move.
During Time Erase, one cannot attack others, but Time Stop allows attacks. This is why Diavolo so liked to sneak behind enemies to attack.
The effective range of time-based Stands is set to be the entire universe. Time Stop is fine; unless it's a similar type of Stand, no one can detect it. Time Erase is different; once activated, the whole world loses the memory of the erased time. The whole world will notice the anomaly.
King Crimson also has a very important ability: [Epitaph]. Epitaph can see what will happen next, and the predicted future will definitely happen unless Time Erase is used. However, it cannot predict the process or method of how the future will unfold.
Having this Stand can be considered having a means of self-preservation. Moreover, it can predict the opponent's attacks in advance, and if you can't win, you can use Time Erase to escape.
For Jon, who aims to be a coward, this Stand is very practical. The previous user, Diavolo, was the king of cowards. If it weren't for his daughter's mockery and his excessive reliance on Time Erase, becoming too arrogant, and overlooking a few seconds of Epitaph, he wouldn't have arrogantly adjusted the Gold Experience Requiem.

The association only provided tents, and everyone could get one. On the day of rest, although there were arguments, no one caused trouble or fought. Fighting during rest time is a violation of the exam rules, and once blood is drawn, exam qualification is revoked. So, Jon and the others spent the day in this strange atmosphere.
The sun rose from the sea, reflecting on the water, creating sparkling waves. Silver and gold shimmered in the ocean. The sun's golden rays also shone on Ballowe Island. In fact, Ballowe Island's vegetation was very lush, and green light shone through the leaves onto the examinees' heads.
For some reason, Jon felt a little uneasy looking at this green light.
Although the sun had already risen, the moon hadn't gone off duty yet. Because it was high tide, all the examinees retreated to the island.
According to plan, someone would come to pick up the examinees at 6:30 this morning to go to the venue for the second test. Jon woke up early at 5:30 and started exercising. The examinees had all gathered by around 6:00, and everyone was looking forward to the second test.
The noisy chirping of cicadas in the summer and the sound of waves crashing against the reefs wore down the examinees' patience. Before the proctor for the second test arrived, they had to keep waiting.
A figure appeared on the sea, gradually approaching until it was discovered to be a bare-chested young man, about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, riding a surfboard at high speed.
This ability is so familiar; I feel like I've seen it somewhere before. Probably a minor character who appeared in the original story, Jon didn't dwell on it too much.
"Hi, Old Boone."
"Yo, Little Grahame, it's been a long time."
The two hugged each other, the scene giving off a gay vibe. Through the vaguely overheard conversation, Jon knew that the flamboyant proctor was called Grahame and was just over forty years old.
The second test was swimming to Orphalese Island, east of Ballowe Island, a total of 45 kilometers. Although this distance was a bit long, it wasn't a difficult task for examinees aiming to be Hunters. Among the many ordinary people who couldn't use Nen, there was no shortage of physically monstrous beasts.
The proctor gave the examinees a day and a half. After receiving the news, no examinee jumped directly into the sea and ran.
Because there were many dog sharks around Ballowe Island. Normally, they might swim out, but now that everyone was more or less injured after completing the first test, sharks were very sensitive to the smell of blood in the water. Rushing down now would only increase unnecessary casualties.
Some people started logging to prepare to build small rafts, trying not to let their wounds touch the sea. However, sailing a bamboo raft could be very dangerous without knowing the locations of the reefs.
However, Jon wasn't afraid. Chrollo looked at Jon. Jon nodded, and Chrollo smiled back, starting to walk towards a deserted part of the forest.
Before long, Chrollo had several animal corpses in his hands, looking like they hadn't been dead for long, still warm.
Then, Chrollo threw the small animals towards the distant sea.
Chrollo ran quickly, reaching a long distance before jumping into the water. Before long, Jon noticed that almost all the sharks around had swarmed towards the animal corpses, giving Chrollo a chance to swim out of the dangerous waters.
Jon hadn't figured out why Chrollo didn't use his Nen ability [Skill Hunter] to control the shark pack but used a conventional method to lure the sharks away and then run.
