JOJO hiding in the hunter world

“STONE FREE!”

A slender, muscular arm burst from Jon's chest.

For some unknown reason, Stone Free's originally feminine form gradually became more robust and masculine.

Perhaps it was due to the influence of Jon's spirit, after all, a Stand is the external manifestation of spiritual energy in the form of a ripple.

Jon is a man, so it shouldn't be a problem for his Stand to be male as well, right?

Nobunaga said that damage to a Nen beast would also affect the user, so Franklin simply wanted to destroy the Nen beast.

He didn't need to think too much; that wasn't his forte anyway.

He just needed to attack.

Planning and rescue were for the support team; he had complete faith in Chrollo behind him.

If he could just push him to reveal his full strength, Chrollo would definitely find a way to eliminate him.

That was Franklin's simple thought, and his greatest acknowledgment of Chrollo.

Franklin was one of the original seven members of the Phantom Troupe, one of the first to follow Chrollo.

Having grown up in Meteor City with Chrollo, he deeply trusted Chrollo's leadership.

Stone Free directly blocked Franklin's attack and immediately counterattacked, punching Franklin in the face.

But Franklin had already heard Nobunaga's intelligence and knew Jon's attacks were very fast, so he was prepared and wasn't caught off guard.

He had used Nen to defend against Stone Free's attack from the start, so he wasn't badly hurt.

He wasn't afraid of Jon using his "Ora Ora" on him; he had been prepared for it.

Jon didn't see Franklin's resolve but didn't continue attacking either.

This wasn't like before, when Uvogin and Nobunaga underestimated him and it was basically a one-on-one fight.

Now, the other Troupe members behind him were watching Jon with predatory eyes.

They were planning a sneak attack, weren't they?

They would definitely try to sneak attack.

Jon didn't dare to be careless and strategically retreated a few steps.

Franklin took advantage of this and pressed forward, not giving Jon a chance to relax.

But Jon didn't dare to get too close to Feitan and the old man's battlefield; it was too dangerous.

What if Feitan stopped trying to kill the old man and teamed up with Chrollo to attack him?

Jon would be in big trouble.

Moreover, retreating further would take him out of Enigma's range.

Jon would absolutely not compromise on this point; he couldn't leave Enigma's ability range.

He only had one throwing knife left.

If he wanted to save the old man, he had to seize the opportunity.

But if his own life was in danger, it was more important to save himself; it was a matter of principle.

After all, he wasn't familiar with that old man.

Jon wasn't a saint, just an ordinary person; self-sacrifice was impossible.

At most, he would help others when he had the ability and it didn't endanger his own life.

Jon wouldn't risk his life to save others; perhaps this was the difference between Jon and the Golden Spirit.

Compared to the Golden Spirit, Jon leaned more towards the Pitch-Black Will, but he lacked the decisiveness of the Pitch-Black Will.

Jon took a light breath facing the attacking Franklin.

Fortunately, he had been prepared for this; Jon still had a trump card.

Epitaph activated instantly, displaying images of the future on the edge of his hood.

At the same time, two black shadows feinted attacks from both sides.

If Jon retreated, he would inevitably enter Feitan and the old man's battlefield, and he would also bring the Troupe members in.

Feitan wouldn't allow others to steal his prey.

If he entered, things would change.

Originally, the Troupe members couldn't interfere because of Feitan, but if Jon entered the battlefield, they could use the excuse that Jon was their prey to persuade Feitan to allow Chrollo and Franklin to join the battle.

That way, not only would the old man be in trouble, but he himself might be screwed.

Although staying here would definitely lead to being surrounded, it was the best solution to deal with this situation.

But Jon immediately saw the situation clearly and adjusted his breathing.

No matter what happened, he couldn't lose his rhythm.

With steady breathing, Jon's mind calmed down.

The more critical the situation, the less you can panic.

This was a very useful habit Jon had developed since transmigrating.

Not only was it necessary to maintain his Ripple energy, but in battle, those who panicked were more likely to fall into the opponent's trap.

Maintaining a clear head in battle was a valuable thing, and also one of the essential qualities of a high-level Nen user.

Anyway, he had already killed Uvogin, and his feud with the Troupe had reached a point of no return.

Jon wouldn't bother with brain-dead people.

(Jon didn't know that Uvogin was still barely alive; seeing the steel knife stuck in his forehead, he assumed Uvogin was dead.)

Jon also didn't know why he suddenly became so irritable just now, instantly killing Uvogin.

If Chrollo had the ability, he would definitely avenge his friend Uvogin, so Jon decided not to hold back.

I'm done playing around.

But even if he wasn't playing around, Jon still didn't want to reveal the specific ability of King Crimson's time erasure, mainly because he was afraid that Chrollo would set up a trap targeting it.

Time Erasure + Enigma was still Jon's trump card, and he didn't plan to expose it.

But he would use other Stand abilities without hesitation if they were effective, regardless of whether the information would be leaked.

Jon didn't use Stone Free to defend.

Franklin didn't think much and directly punched Jon in the chest.

This punch was infused with a large amount of Nen and was extremely powerful.

Jon was directly sent flying, towards the area where the old man and Feitan were, just as Chrollo had hoped.

But Chrollo felt a sudden unease in his heart, sensing that something was wrong.

Although Franklin's punch wasn't as terrifying as Uvogin's, it was more than enough to punch through a steel plate, but it shouldn't have been able to send Jon flying.

Even Uvogin, who had greater strength than him, hadn't been able to send Jon flying; what made Franklin think he could?

But all of this seemed so natural to the Troupe members.

They didn't know Jon had Lover's Body, didn't know Jon could turn into string to avoid damage, and didn't know that Uvogin had been helpless against Jon.

They simply exclaimed that Jon's use of Ren was fast, otherwise he would have been KO'd.

Only Chrollo knew it wouldn't be that simple.

The person who killed Uvogin could definitely not be defeated so easily.

Chrollo was relatively accurate in judging people; Jon wasn't the type of opponent who was a Holy Mother.

He wasn't so enthusiastic about rescuing the old man.

He was more like a child who wanted to show off his strength, and it was impossible for him to have come simply to save the old man.

In fact, even Jon himself hadn't noticed this; his motivation for saving the old man wasn't that pure.

He now wanted to complete his performance in front of these high-level Nen users from the Phantom Troupe, and feel the pleasure of the Troupe being helpless against him.
