Johnson Joffrey just wanted to get out of the car to test how powerful his villainous charm was on ordinary people. He had tried to be as gentle as possible, even preparing tissues to wipe the blood from Kobayashi Tamami, but as soon as he opened his mouth to speak, Kobayashi Tamami fainted from fright.
Has it really come to this point? Before, he had always been among the Italian mafia, and most gangsters almost disregard their own lives. If Johnson Joffrey thought back carefully, he would realize that almost every Stand User who appeared in golden wind possessed an iron heart.
This was the biggest difference from Part Four.
People with an iron heart, when infected by his villainous charm, would tend to follow, but they would never be timid.
However, the Stand Users in Morioh Town were different; many of them were ordinary people among ordinary people—
Looking at it this way, Johnson thought of his arrow. Was the death rate of his arrow higher than that of the Hirose brothers' arrow?
If that's the case, I have a bold guess: could it be due to the difference in alien meteorite content?
"Unbelievable!"
An abrupt male voice appeared behind him, very clear, seemingly a teenager's voice—
"I cannot turn a blind eye to something like this—"
His voice captivated Giorno, who felt a strange sensation, a feeling like the familial connection that emerged from Johnson's body—
"A few foreigners beating up an ordinary town resident in the street is something I, Higashikata Josuke, will absolutely not allow."
It was a student in a black uniform, his hair styled into a delinquent pompadour. Unlike a standard Japanese person, he had crystal-blue eyes.
Next to him stood a short person, like his classmate, who quickly pulled him back—
"Don't meddle, Josuke!"
"I've already memorized all your faces, and I'll report everything to the police!"
Johnson Joffrey and the other three surrounded Kobayashi Tamami, looking somewhat surprised at the narrow alley, just wide enough for one car to pass through—
"I think you've misunderstood," Johnson Joffrey said. "None of us touched him; he fainted on his own."
Higashikata Josuke gritted his teeth, looking at Johnson Joffrey. From his appearance, Johnson seemed to be around their age, but he had the condescending aura of an adult.
"No matter what you say, I'm calling the police. You can tell it to them."
"This brat!!" Ghiaccio angrily wanted to rush forward but was held back by Giorno. "Calm down, Ghiaccio."
"I believe that clearly explaining things to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings is the choice of a smart person," Giorno said seriously, then turned to Higashikata Josuke: "We will treat him. I hope you won't call the police."
Higashikata Josuke looked at Giorno with a mix of belief and doubt.
"You are Higashikata Josuke?" Higashikata Josuke heard the teenager standing behind Giorno, who was about his age, say, "I've heard your name before."
"Hmm…" Higashikata Josuke was momentarily speechless, then took out a small comb to tidy his hair slightly, saying with a hint of pride and excitement, "Koichi, am I really that famous?"
"What?!" The shorter boy next to Higashikata Josuke shouted, somewhat speechless, "He's probably your friend?" Although he found that man a bit intimidating.
Higashikata Josuke's gaze fell on Johnson Joffrey. After a moment of thought, he said, "I don't really remember knowing you."
"No, you don't know me, but you should know your father's identity," Johnson Joffrey said calmly, his words slow but clear. "Your father is Joseph Joestar, a New York real estate magnate. You are his illegitimate son."
"I've heard of that person…" Koichi whispered.
Watching Higashikata Josuke's stunned face, Johnson Joffrey continued, "We are now going to pick up the person who came to find you — Kujo Jotaro."
"Get in the car, Higashikata Josuke. This will save Kujo Jotaro a lot of time."
Johnson Joffrey proactively opened the car door for Higashikata Josuke —
"Josuke!" Koichi jumped to get Josuke's attention. Higashikata Josuke quickly and cautiously bent down. Koichi whispered, "I feel like they're bad guys. We absolutely can't just get in the car."
"But that guy looks about my age," Josuke said, somewhat puzzled, then asked loudly, "So who are you guys?"
"Gangsters," Johnson Joffrey said directly. "We are an italian gang. We're here to find a cartoonist and for a vacation."
"Ga-…Gangsters?!!" Koichi and Josuke shouted in unison.
"So…so cool…and italian too…" Josuke showed an admiring gaze.
"So…so scary…" Koichi said, trembling, "They wouldn't be from that italian gang brawl in the news a month ago, would they…"
"That guy is a few years younger than me," Josuke's gaze fell on Giorno, "but he already feels completely like a gangster."
Other people's fifteen-year-olds, your fifteen-year-old… I'm still a delinquent, you're already a gang superstar.
Just then, Kobayashi Tamami slowly woke up. Seeing Johnson Joffrey, he shrieked again and quickly scrambled to his feet —
"Hey, hey! You've broken your bones!" Josuke shouted loudly. He was kind-hearted and, seeing Kobayashi Tamami covered in blood, quickly summoned —
"Crazy Diamond!!"
A Stand, blue and white with heart-shaped decorations, suddenly appeared. The moment it touched Kobayashi Tamami, his wounds rapidly healed.
"It's a Stand!" Mista said in surprise.
"It's normal," Johnson Joffrey replied in italian. "He's Kujo Jotaro's uncle."
"Uncle?!" Ghiaccio looked at Higashikata Josuke in surprise, unable to help but exclaim, "What a complicated circle!"
Kobayashi Tamami bounced up as if he hadn't been hurt at all—
"I'm fine! I'm fine!" He scrambled to his feet, hopping and skipping.
"It seems his healing has completely surpassed ours," Giorno remarked, looking at Josuke's Stand.
After Kobayashi Tamami was healed, he became afraid Josuke would extort money from him. Then, seeing Johnson Joffrey, he got so scared that he ran away in a panic.
"Since that's the case, the misunderstanding is cleared," Johnson said, leaning against the car. "We're staying at the Morioh Hotel. If you need anything, you can find me."
