Diego Brando's head tilted to one side, his pupils dilated.
Beside them, Johnny and Jero were sweating profusely from exhaustion.
Too resistant.
The one who struck first had the upper hand, and the two of them took turns attacking for more than ten minutes before killing Diego.
"This way...it's over..."
Jero lowered the brim of his hat and spoke with some uncertainty.
Johnny pondered for a moment.
He fired a few more claw rounds at Diego's body.
There was no movement.
He nodded seriously, "It's over."
Jero relaxed.
At this moment, a spine emerged from Diego's body.
Johnny's expression changed slightly, and he asked 'Yact3' to take over the "saint's body".
Once you get it.
Transparent filaments penetrate the skin.
Johnny had already expected it and did not resist the fusion of the holy bones with himself.
It's a coincidence.
The part of the "saint's body" held by Diego happened to be the location where Johnny's spine was injured.
Fusion with the Holy Bones.
Under Jello's gaze, Johnny stood up unsteadily.
"Jero...did you see...my legs can move!"
Johnny moved cautiously, with a mixture of surprise and disbelief on his face.
"Ah, I saw it, I saw it clearly."
Jero raised the corners of his mouth and couldn't help but recall the scene when he first met Johnny.
Shaking his head, he gave Johnny a big hug, "Congratulations, brother."
Johnny was crying and laughing at the same time.
What a coincidence that this scene was seen by Poklock and Hurt Penz who were rushing over.
The wind blows.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Johnny and Jero didn't think there was anything wrong.
Letting go of each other, they saw Hurt Penz following Pollock, and instantly entered a fighting state.
Poklock was startled and said, "Wait a minute, this guy doesn't mean any harm!"
"Don't be fooled by Poklock, she is Diego Brando's teammate."
Johnny has always been the representative of "I would rather kill the wrong person than let go".
He yelled for Poklock to leave Hut Panz quickly.
Although Jero didn't speak, the iron ball in his hand was already spinning.
Hurt Penz had a sullen face and quietly put on a layer of protection for himself before speaking loudly: "I don't want to be your enemy. In fact, I'm here to negotiate with you."
negotiation?
Johnny's impression of Hurt Penz was still at the stage of hurting others when he didn't agree with him, and he didn't believe what he said at all.
Jero hesitated for a second and said, "You tell me first, and then we will decide whether to believe you or not."
Hearing this, Hurt Penz unbuttoned his clothes.
The three elders were dumbfounded.
Especially Poklock.
I saw this black boy covering his face, but he couldn't help opening his fingers and peeking out secretly.
But what disappointed him was that Hurt Penz only took off his outermost coat and slightly opened his vest, revealing his slightly shiny ribs.
"I can give you the 'Saint's Body'.
But, I have a condition."
Hurt Panz stared into Johnny's eyes, "If you really become the 'Holy Son', I hope that after all this is over, you and I will go back to the Vatican."
Johnny was stunned.
Vatican?
As if he saw Johnny's doubts, Hurt Panz explained: "I was originally a nun from the Vatican, and I came to this continent to atone for my sins."
Good guy, are you a nun?
Johnny looked at Hurt Penz in surprise.
Hurt Panz felt a little uncomfortable and pretended to be calm: "Don't doubt my motives. In fact, I have always been grateful to you and Mr. Zeppelin for saving my life."
Johnny:???
Jero:???
Hurt Penz was getting dressed while talking about the past, "I was also a person on the tree at the 'Sugar Manden Fountain'."
Johnny blinked and looked at Jero instinctively.
Jero recalled something.
"It seems, probably, maybe, that is indeed the case."
To be honest, there were so many people hanging on the tree and they looked so abstract, I couldn't tell who they were.
Jon thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay."
Hurt Panz felt relieved, "Then, I will give you the 'Saint's Body' now."
etc.
Now?
Johnny didn't expect Hurt Panz to be so decisive.
In the blink of an eye, a dark red skeleton was pulled out of the Vatican nun's body.
The "saint's body" is between reality and reality, completely unaffected by physical rules.
Johnny's heart was beating wildly.
At the same time, he had an impulse for no reason.
The urge to ‘complement’ oneself!
Hurt Penz solemnly handed the 'Saint Body' to Johnny, "Johnny Joestar, I hope you can survive until the end."
Johnny took it and took a deep breath.
"I will!"
...
...
‘Ta-ta-ta-ta.’
Shortly after Johnny and others left, President Valentine arrived on horseback.
He saw the dead Diego at a glance, and his face darkened.
Then, President Valentine seemed to have thought of something, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
...
...
The finish line of the s.b.r competition, New York.
that scene
It can be roughly summarized as - gongs and drums are noisy, firecrackers are blasting; stars and flags are fluttering, and there are huge crowds of people.
It's quite spectacular.
"Friends in the audience! Don't blink, the event that shocked the United States is about to end! Cheer, cheer! For the greatest rider in the world!"
"Coming, coming! The first contestant appears at the end of the line of sight!"
"Who is it... Gerald Zeppelin! Gerald Zeppelin is here!"
"Jero! Ah!!!!!!"
At the end of the explanation, the host couldn't help but scream.
Amid cheers, Jero took the lead.
The wind is howling!
Blowing his cloak.
Close.
Getting closer.
Ten kilometers, nine kilometers, eight kilometers...
The champion of the s. b.r competition is right in front of you!
"That's great, Jero."
Standing three horses behind Jero, Johnny smiled slightly.
Poklock had a grimace on his face.
A champion.
My championship is gone.
It’s not like he didn’t think about suddenly overtaking at the last moment and replacing Gerald to win a huge bonus.
mainly......
He was afraid that his life would be taken away, but his life would be lost.
Jero and Johnny are both tough guys.
And what can he, a dark and strong country boy, do?
Life is not easy, Bobo sighed.
etc.
Bobo?
Why does this name sound so unlucky?
Bah bah bah.
Life is not easy, Locke sighed.
Alas~
"Jero! Charge quickly, Jero! The champion is waving to you!"
"Wait a minute! Someone is approaching Zero's team quickly!"
"Diego! Diego Brando didn't give up! He was trying his best to speed up!"
"Dear viewers, the situation has changed. Someone has issued a challenge to Gerard Zebelin!"
"Let me take a look... the current rankings in the standings are that Gerald is first and Diego is second. The two of them almost have the same "time bonus"!"
"In other words, whoever can pass the finish line first will be the real champion of this s.b.r competition!"
‘Diego Brando’!
Not only the host and the audience, Jero and Johnny also discovered Diego.
"I don't know either!" Johnny also had a blank expression.
Diego, on the other hand, stared at the three horses in front of him with a sinister smile on his lips.
"The wind of victory is blowing from behind me. The winner is me, Mr. Dio! The world! Time, stop it!"
Following his words, a bright yellow substitute flashed out.
Punch hard.
‘Buzz’
Everything is stagnant.
Diego and the substitute 'World' looked at each other.
‘The World’ understood, moved the main body and the mount under its crotch and moved forward quickly.
Five seconds flew by.
Diego and Johnny shortened the distance by at least three to four hundred meters!
Johnny and Jero were shocked to see Diego closing the gap between them like a ghost.
They are all too familiar with this weird feeling.
Mike.o’s ‘Time Stops’!
but......
Isn’t Diego’s stand a melee-enhanced type? When did it become a time-control type?!
While the two were stunned, Diego activated Time Stop for the second time.
"the world!"
Time to stop.
The correct usage is to move people or objects while stopping.
The model worker "World" carried the man and the horse together, threw off his two thick legs and ran wildly.
Racing(×)
Props competition(√)
‘World’ is the most powerful prop of this dio!
Five seconds passed again.
Diego has gradually caught up with Johnny.
"Incredible! It's simply incredible! Diego Brando, Diego Brando is like teleporting, catching up with Gerald Zebelin and the others!"
The host's words rang in my ears.
Johnny looked grim.
Regardless of whether the Diego in front of him is a human or a ghost, he cannot be allowed to hinder Gerald from winning the championship.
"Poklock, step aside!"
In order to avoid accidental injury, Johnny deliberately squeezed out the honest Xiao Hei.
Poklock naturally did not dare to speak and slowed down obediently.
Diego doesn't care either.
His only enemies are Johnny and Jero.
Half-crouching on the horse, Diego took the time to make a motion of slitting Johnny's throat.
Without thinking, Johnny raised his hand and fired out a claw bullet.
At this point in time, I can't care so much anymore.
It is better to be eliminated yourself than to have the championship taken away by Diego.
Claw bullets fly.
Diego just sneered.
Stop and start for the third time.
In still time, the 'world' is the absolute king.
Five seconds were enough for Diego to dodge the claw bullet and knock Johnny off his horse with one punch.
'boom!'
The fist of 'The World' hit Johnny firmly in the face.
Diego raised his chin arrogantly, "Then, time began to flow."
The flow of time returned to normal, and Johnny felt a huge force coming out of thin air.
As his body flew upside down, he subconsciously grabbed the reins.
Although he did not fall off the horse directly, it became a dangerous situation of being dragged along.
A trace of murderous intent flashed in Diego's eyes.
At this time, an 'iron ball' flew over invisibly!
Diego's pupils shrank sharply.
‘World’ has quick eyes and quick hands and reaches out to grab it!
Then, Diego regretted it.
Because what Jero threw was not the iron ball, but the substitute ‘Iron Ball Destroyer’!
Does Gerard Zeppelin have a substitute?
Diego's expression changed for the first time.
The avatar is closely connected with the main body, so the special ability of the 'Iron Ball Destroyer' can naturally also be used on Diego.
Diego's arms were seen expanding continuously.
He was so frightened that he quickly started and stopped.
"Buzz."
Everything loses its color.
Diego stared at his arm with a gloomy expression.
Gritting his teeth.
The strong man broke his arm!
Blood flowed.
Time stopped.
Jero regained consciousness.
Seeing Diego take the initiative to tear off his arm, his heart sank.
At this moment, Johnny, who was being dragged, climbed back onto the horse through his core strength, "Jero, there's something wrong with this guy!"
Something is wrong.
Of course something is wrong.
Diego's stand-in is not that inexplicable pornographic thing!
Jero calculated the distance to the end.
The next second.
Diego, who was supposed to be behind, suddenly ran to the front!
Before the finish line, the atmosphere has been pushed to its peak.
"Diego! Diego Brando surpassed Gerald Zeppelin, it's incredible!"
"Is the championship really going to change hands?"
"Three kilometers! Three more kilometers to go! Can Jello still overtake?"
Three kilometers.
Yes.
There are still three kilometers to go.
Jero had never felt that three kilometers was such a long time before.
He urged the 'Valkyrie', only to find that the sprinting horse had reached its physical limit.
If you try to throw an iron ball, you will be caught by the referee.
Worked hard all the way...
Could it be that he was going to be defeated in this short three kilometers?
Jero gritted his teeth.
Work hard to catch up.
But the more he chases, the wider the distance between him and Diego becomes.
'time stops'
The other party must be using this special ability to cheat!
Johnny glanced at Jero's expression.
He raised his hand with firm eyes and aimed at Diego's back.
I will never let anyone take away the championship that belongs to Gerald!
However, a second before the claw bullet was launched, he changed his mind.
Run all the way, run fast all the way.
Soon, Diego was only one kilometer away from the finish line!
Diego felt that he was in control of the situation and used his superb riding skills to stand up on the horse, enjoying the flowers and cheers from the audience.
suddenly.
Something weird happened...
A little 'black vortex' appeared inexplicably.
Diego was slightly startled.
It was during this brief moment of confusion that Jero suddenly appeared with his men and horses and jumped in front of Diego.
Diego was stunned.
Immediately, he reacted and wanted to activate the time stop to reverse the situation.
But Jero's speed is too fast.
In addition to the charging momentum of the horse itself, there is also an invisible and intangible 'impact force' acting on the 'Valkyrie'.
Diego's expression froze instantly.
“Crossing the line!!!!!!Gero Zeppelin!!!!!”
"First! Gerold Zeppelin won first place!!!!"
“Incredible!”
Although the entire audience and even the host did not see clearly how Jero teleported from the back to the front.
But, the first one to cross the line is the first one to cross the line.
Gerard Zeppelin won the s.b.r competition!
"Ah!!!! Despicable poor devil!!!!"
Diego was furious.
He actually lost in the last 100 meters!
The exact opposite of Diego is Johnny who shoots claw bullets.
At the last moment, he suddenly hit Jero with his 'Tooth Act3' ability.
This allowed Jero to achieve a lead.
Johnny breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, he stared at Diego's back.
