stand-in creed

"It's for you back for Abdel—you're next, Baby."

"It's Darby. I'm useless with this silly trick of calling the wrong name, Mr. Joestar, I'm not my irritable brother." Little Darby regained his posture and looked at him without changing his expression. Joseph in front of him, "So what is the good news you said."

"You are understaffed."

Although Joseph guessed, it was the truth.

Among the people under Dior, there are all old, weak, sick and disabled, and there is even a gorilla. It is impossible to pick out a few who can play head-on.

Among the remaining people, he, Darby, was already second only to Vanilla Ace in being able to face the enemy head-on.

"..."

Little Darby frowned.

The corner of Joseph's mouth grinned: "I knew that there were seven of you, including Dio, and I felt a little bit bad. But now that we are scattered, the stand-in envoys you sent are only of this level—— "

Speaking of it.

Joseph pointed to Oyingo who was lying on the ground screaming.

"—Dior is no longer available."

Little Darby interrupted suddenly: "What you're going to say next—surrender, Darby, and take us to the body of the ship's double!"

Joseph continued: "Surrender, Darby, take us to the body of the ship's double... what?!"

Joseph froze for a moment.

Joseph's face became a little more cautious: "This is my special skill."

"So don't underestimate me, Joseph Joestar." Little Darby lowered his focus.

"Indeed, as Lord Dior said, I don't have the consciousness to sacrifice my life for Lord Dior like Ndor and Vanilla Ace.

"A few days ago, on the day Nero Qibelin entered Cairo single-handedly, I had the opportunity to betray Lord Dio. At that time, Qibelin was busy fighting with Vanilla Ace and Lord Dio. I You can take the opportunity to slip away.

"Do you know why the "unconscious" me didn't leave? "

"Huh? How about listening to it?"

"Because I can get peace of mind." Little Darby stared at Joseph calmly, "Vicious people like us who are licking blood with knives can only feel the kind of excitement that we have never felt before when we gather under Lord Dior's command. A sense of security from the bottom of my heart.

"It's not that I haven't left, but - I have no other place to go!"

boom!

Little Darby also suddenly took out a gun from his pocket, and shot Joseph with a single shot.

However, Joseph just tilted his head, avoiding the shot lightly, and walked leisurely to Oying who was covered in blood and pulled out a bunch of hair.

"So that's the case, I thought you had some "terrific" reason, after all, you're just a baby boy. "

"...Mom, Ma Baonan?"

"It's the so-called coward who doesn't dare to take a step forward after leaving the protection of the elders. Darby, you are just such a coward."

Bang bang bang bang!

Darby seemed a little annoyed, and took the revolver in his hand and emptied the bullets in the cylinder in one go.

However, what came into view was a shield made of hair shining with ripples all over the sky, which stood in front of Joseph and took all the bullets steadily.

"So that's the case, it seems that you have admitted defeat."

"...Admit, admit defeat?"

"You got your gun, Darby.

"Originally you believed that hand-to-hand combat could easily kill me, but unconsciously, the thought of "defeat" that God Atum could not defeat Joseph Joestar arose in your heart. "

Finish saying this.

Joseph turned around directly, exposing his back with the door open to the view of little Darby.

Little Darby was stunned: "You, what are you doing?"

"The victory and defeat are already divided."

"The winner has been decided? What are you talking about..."

"Look at your feet."

"...?"

Little Darby lowered his head slowly.

And at this moment, a dark hand suddenly grasped little Darby's ankle.

Abdel's smiling face was reflected in the eyes of little Darby.

"You are—Muhammad Abdel! Haven't you already fallen!"

"It's just a shot in the chest. Isn't it too naive to want to defeat me, Muhammad Abdel, just based on this injury? Ma Baonan? The reason why I have been lying on the ground until now is that Just waiting for you to come to me under the guidance of Mr. Joestar!

"Didn't you realize until now that from the hand-to-hand fight between your god Atum and Mr. Joestar, every movement under your feet is within Mr. Joestar's calculations!"

"you……"

"—Magician's Red!!!"

The raging flames.

In an instant, it spread along the ankle of little Darby to the whole body, putting him in the sea of ​​flames.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!!!"

Little Darby's screams echoed in the restaurant, and Joseph Joestar aimed his gun at Little Darby.

Joseph's expression was calm: .

"It should be a very painful thing to be burned to death alive, right?

"Slightly, let me give you a ride."

boom!

Gunshots sounded.

Darby in the flames finally stopped screaming.

The dripping blood, flesh and bones turned into ashes in the flames and dissipated in the air.

Chapter 58 Fig Tower Part One

Ask questions.

It is known that Vanilla Ace went to snipe Jotaro and Polnareff, Darby Jr. and Oingo sniped Joseph and Abdel, the body of the orangutan needs to be concealed, and Judgment cooperates with the shortcut opened by the orangutan to use the earthen man In the case of occasional global harassment, who are Dior's available subordinates?

Only one left.

Boingo, who holds the prophecy's substitute "God Thoth", is a child of about ten years old.

Ask again.

With such a staffing arrangement, how should Dior dispatch manpower to attack and harass the last group of personnel—Nero Zeppelin and Noriaki Kakyoin?

the answer is--

Go out in person.

"Take care of this orangutan, don't let it run around and send it to Jotaro or someone's fist, let alone let it change the structure of the ship at will after I, Dio, just let it show me the direction. It's alright, Cameo."

"Yes, Lord Dior!"

"And you, Boyingo, you also stay here obediently."

"Master Dio, the foreknowledge of my "God Thoth" is absolute![-]%!You just need to act according to my prophecy..."

"Do you think I really have time to read your book during the battle between Dio and Nero Zeppelin?"

"Hey?"

Boingo was stunned.

At this moment, Dior has tied up his "green heart" headband, and a bright red cape over his yellow coat.Looking at the shape of this body, Boingo made a slight comment in his heart——

It's kind of weird, to be honest.

But Boingo didn't have the guts to speak out.

Dio didn't know that Boingo was doubting his aesthetics, so he just spoke up as a matter of course.

"Since fate is absolute, then victory and defeat are doomed. If Nero Zeppelin's fate should be defeated by my Dior, then I, Dior, can win without your prophecy at all! And if it is against my Dior I made a prediction of defeat, will I, Dior, be caught without a fight!

"In the final analysis, what I, Dio, want to conquer is neither Joestar, nor Zeppelin, nor this world, but——

"—Unknowable fate."

This sentence was left behind.

Dio suddenly disappeared into the room, leaving only the orangutan, the child, and Cameo, the breeder and temporary guardian who took care of the orangutan and the child, staring at each other.

As for Dior.

Already in the paused time, head towards Nero and Kakyoin.

"It's Dior's strategy to defeat you "one by one" in this "lightless" and "narrow" freighter.

"The strategy doesn't need to be complicated. The more scheming you do, the more you will fall short in unexpected places. This truth was understood by Dior as early as a hundred years ago! A simple strategy like the "triangle" is fine, then It is the most stable!

"Leave the rest to my "world". "

Dio left his bedroom and walked down the aisle as if scattered.

Rumble.

From time to time there was a tremor from the ship.

The corner of Dio's mouth twitched.

"This movement should be Kujo Jotaro, right? It seems that the fight was fierce.

"It's hard to imagine that kid has awakened a double of the same type as Dio, even though Vanilla Ace was turned into a vampire by me, it would be very difficult to defeat Jotaro Kujo like that, right?

"Ace's defeat is doomed.

"If that's the case, delay Jotaro's steps for me as much as possible! During this period, I will use Nero Zeppelin's blood to heal the incompletely healed ripple wound, and have a happy and happy disappearance Bacterial treatment!"

The voice fell.

A map marked with floors emerged on the wall beside Dio. There were two moving dots on the map, representing Nero and Kakyoin.

Naturally, it is not the ability of the purple hermit, but the owner of the ship, "Power", is guiding Dio.

Dior studied the structure diagram for a while and smiled confidently.

"Is this route going straight to Dio's bedroom according to the structural diagram that Joseph Joestar read and wrote on the main deck? If this continues, it will be like locomotives traveling opposite each other on the same track. Hit straight together!

"It's an opportunity."

Dio stopped and looked around.

Tapping the ground with the toes, the vampire's robust figure silently jumped up to the ceiling, with both hands and feet against the walls on both sides, and the whole person was pressed against the ceiling in a "big" shape, quietly waiting for the arrival of the prey like a spider .

Gradually.

Dio heard voices and breathing.

'No footsteps...? '

Dio frowned, a little puzzled.

next moment.

The figure of gold emerges from the body.

"—Stop time, world!"

Time stops.

The world with a range of ten meters away quietly left Dior's body, and walked cautiously towards the corner three or four meters ahead.

Like Platinum Star, Dior's world has vision.

However, just looking at it like this, Dio was instantly stunned.
