JOJO, The Escape from Real Diavolo

Chapter 55 A Difficult Battle

"That thief's ability might be transformation... no, it could also be explosion, or both, or neither."

Chen Miaowen racked his brains but couldn't imagine that these two abilities could be involved.

In that attack, the arm that revealed the girl's face was shattered by the ability; logically, a Stand user with transformation abilities should also have been shattered.

Therefore, these two abilities should not appear in a single attack, unless there is no other way and such a combined move is used as a last resort to try and take the opponent down with them.

But that's even more impossible, since he and the prince have always been the ones being beaten and suppressed.

"Could I have been mistaken, and that face wasn't actually that thief's?"

The attacks they suffered were always from external forces: shards of glass, pieces of beer, and even wind blades, possibly even from the prince himself.

"The specific abilities that affect the mind have never been shown, yet all thirty Stands have only demonstrated these abilities. So, it's possible that she's deceiving us, creating the illusion of overwhelming numbers."

They fought back and drew conclusions, only to have those conclusions overturned the next moment.

"First..."

The prince was suddenly crushed to the ground by some force. Although the Wind King's barrier did not dissipate, he was truly unable to move.

"This... what kind of ability is this? Is it gravity manipulation? Echoes? A crescent moon?"

However, for some unknown reason, Chen Miaowen, who was only one meter away from the prince, was not affected in any way.

"I really don't understand."

He possessed the Wind King's Barrier, which the prince had shared, and then wrapped the barrier around his fist. He punched away at the debris and the invisible wind blades, one blow after another.

"Prince, is there any difference between this wind blade and your ability?"

"Almost none. During my resistance, I could feel it as if I were fighting against myself."

Buzz---

The deck beneath my feet suddenly underwent a strange change. Although it was only the fifth deck, seawater was able to seep up and pass through more than a dozen decks beneath my feet.

The water began to gather, covering the prince's entire body, trying to engulf him and suffocate him.

However, the effect of the Wind King's barrier is quite absurd. Even if he is swallowed by the sea, he can still breathe because of the barrier. Even with the pressure of gravity, the barrier can still last for at least another five minutes.

On the other hand, Chen Miaowen had already returned to the center of the fourth and fifth floors. The ferocious little face on his forehead remained visible, indicating that he would continue to use the bug-level ability of Epitaph in the upcoming battle.

The seawater below the steps, unable to catch Chen Miaowen, surged and churned angrily, but no matter how turbulent it was, it could not take a single step up the steps.

"This seawater seems impossible to climb the steps; it's a limitation of ability."

Although he didn't want a protracted battle, he believed that by repeatedly testing and probing the weaknesses of each ability, he might be able to find a way to break through the battle and capture that despicable thief.

The prince may not have the ability to test the waters; simply surviving the battle would have been a great struggle.

But Chen Miaowen is different; he is virtually incapable of getting into trouble, and he possesses the capital to test the waters endlessly.

As long as the prince can persevere in the time to come.

"Next move... another bomb, this time a water-filled bomb?... "

The combination of transformation and bombs, thanks to the Wind King's barrier, didn't blast his calves open in the future, but the impact caused him to grimace in pain on his bangs.

"Sigh, I have to endure the beating again."

As long as it's not a future of certain death and despair, then the test can be conducted. A anticipated attack would give him enough time to analyze the weaknesses of his abilities.

During this period of time, he also tried to find the whereabouts of the thief who had been hiding for a long time and refused to come out.

"Where have you been hiding?"

After time was erased, the seawater continued to surge, causing some water droplets to splash in mid-air. Then, in those splashed water droplets, the smiling face of the bread-selling girl reappeared in a ferocious manner.

A second later, they exploded right next to Chen Miaowen's legs.

"I'm so numb from the pain."

He was mentally prepared, and after the explosion, he retreated again until he could barely see the prince's bitter, sour face, which was being pressed hard against the ground.

"This move of change and bombs seems to be not only in the organic body, but it is very likely that it is a combined technique of two Stand users. That disgusting face may just be a symbol. The girl's true ability is very likely to be change."

He received some information and thought there was no longer any threat, so he prepared to launch the epitaph again.

But he forgot one thing: his previous prediction of the future was only a moment away, ten seconds later. In the two or three seconds that followed, during the time he was catching his breath, he was careless.

He really didn't expect that several more moves would come immediately in quick succession, most of them bombs.

"Haha, I've figured you out a long time ago! Just like I know exactly when a stray dog ​​pees and which latrine it frequents! Crimson King!"

......

Meow~

"Mmm~, so cute, Butch is the cutest."

Fugo doesn't dislike cats; in fact, he enjoys interacting with them.

After all, he believed that cats, like himself, were a species that would occasionally go berserk, and he felt a sense of kinship with them.

Butch was too well-behaved; no matter how much he was played with, it didn't seem to get angry much, which made Fugo lose some interest after a few minutes.

"Hey, Giorno, how much longer until we get back to Naples?"

The two of them were almost constantly on the move, and in their efforts to capture the demon they had let go, they didn't even sleep for a whole day.

Bobo the turtle and Inbuchi the cat can close their eyes anytime, anywhere, since they are both small animals that will be taken along by the two of them anyway.

"I have already informed Trish to come to Naples and join SPW to hunt down Diablo. With her unique sensory abilities, we are now only an hour or two away from Naples."

"Ah, Diablo's daughter, that young and beautiful lady, the hottie... she's still alive."

"Yes, that bastard boss made his move on her immediately after you left, and then, around that time, Bucciarati..."

Giorno didn't continue, but Fugo knew perfectly well that the team had suffered too many losses in the battle while he was away.

They had previously inquired about Satan in that open space.

The other party paid to hire a pilot and even bought a private helicopter.

Then the destination was Naples.

So they also headed to Naples in the SPW helicopter.

The journey was uneventful.
