Chapter 216: Star Platinum
It’s not surprising to see middle-aged people with pink hair, after all, there are people with all kinds of hair colors in the world.
It’s not surprising to see middle-aged people wearing black stockings and see-through tights. After all, people are free to wear whatever they want these days, and there are all kinds of perverts who can wear anything.
But seeing such a sneaky and mysterious guy outside the Colosseum where Polnareff was fighting was worth paying attention to.
I don't know if this guy is in a trance or is busy with something...
It was not until Jotaro was five meters away from him that he finally noticed Jotaro's presence.
Then, Jotaro looked straight ahead calmly, and the pink-haired middle-aged man turned his head and looked back.
As soon as their eyes met...
The middle-aged man with pink hair and black stockings immediately retracted his gaze as if he had been electrocuted.
"you…"
"Know me?"
Jotaro took another small step forward.
The pink-haired middle-aged man, Diablo, had his expression change at a speed visible to the naked eye:
"I... don't know him."
"It's just that your expression is a little scary, so..."
"oh…"
The hostility in Jotaro's eyes suddenly eased.
It was as if he only regarded Diablo in front of him as an ordinary passerby and had no doubts at all.
Then, the next second...
"Star Platinum!"
The burly figure behind Jotaro flashed out.
"The Crimson King!"
Diablo's heart trembled, and he tried his best to summon a Stand to deal with it.
However, he was still a little slow.
Jotaro Kujo, who rushed here with tremendous rage , was faster than him in action and a hundred times more determined to fight.
Before the Crimson King could steady himself, Star Platinum had already activated its Stand ability:
"The World!"
Time has stood still.
This time it was truly still, and time didn't seem to slow down because of the commentary.
Diavolo's panicked expression and the Crimson King's unstable figure were all frozen in this sudden stillness of time.
This is the ability of Star Platinum, time stop.
When in his peak state, Jotaro Kujo can stop time for up to 5 seconds.
But in recent years, Jotaro has been busy getting married and having children, pursuing a doctorate, helping his grandfather find an illegitimate child, and observing starfish on the beach for his doctoral thesis.
After so many years without any actual training, Star Platinum's ability to stop time has gradually declined from 5 seconds to 2 seconds.
At this moment, Jotaro can only stop time for 2 seconds.
But that's enough.
Because of Diablo's previous distraction, Jotaro had already approached him within 5 meters.
It’s only five meters away, so two seconds is more than enough.
First second:
Jotaro leaped forward like a tiger out of a ravine.
Star Platinum then soared into the air and landed in front of Diablo:
"Do you think I can't hear your voice?"
"Will I forget those who hurt my companions?"
"I still remember the voice of you yelling at my best friend during that phone call just now... Diablo!"
All of Jotaro's suppressed anger erupted at this moment.
But Diablo knew nothing about this, his consciousness had already solidified in this still time.
Second 2:
"Ola Ola Ola Ola!"
"Ola Ola Ola Ola!"
"Ola Ola Ola Ola!"
"Ola Ola Ola Ola!"
“…”
The storm suddenly arose and a phantom appeared.
In just one second, Star Platinum threw hundreds or thousands of punches at Diablo.
The terrifying fist force continued to accumulate in that fragile body during the time of stillness.
It's like a big river that has stopped flowing.
The vast torrent that was enough to destroy everything was now accumulating and accumulating under the obstruction of the "dam" of time.
As soon as the floodgates are opened, the vast waves will rush forth.
Finally, the time stop ended.
Diablo didn't even realize what had just happened.
His body was like being stuffed with ten thousand bombs, and began to explode wildly under the tsunami-like force of the punch.
Bones shattered, skin cracked, and blood gushed out.
Diablo's body suddenly flew backwards like a shredded paper bag blown away by a force ten typhoon.
However, he didn't even have time to fly backwards...
Star Platinum grabbed his broken body from mid-air and dragged Diablo back from the backward flight, bringing him back in front of herself and Jotaro Kujo.
Then…
"Ola Ola Ola Ola!"
"Ola Ola Ola Ola!"
"Ola Ola Ola Ola!"
"Ola Ola Ola Ola!"
The Crimson King was right beside them, watching his master being beaten like a punching bag.
It's not that it's weak, but because its master Diablo has been beaten so badly that he can hardly recover.
The endless heavy blows overwhelmed him like a flood, and unspeakable pain quickly surged to his brain, making him so confused that he couldn't even issue a valid command.
But Diablo is still Diablo.
He was afraid of death, afraid to the depths of his soul, and there was no shame in saying this.
As a king, he was unwilling to die in shame in failure.
This fear of death finally allowed Diablo to regain the last bit of clarity in this endless pain:
"The King of Red—"
"Eliminate the time!"
Click.
Jotaro was in a trance.
He only felt a flash of the scene before his eyes...
Diablo and the Crimson King disappeared, leaving only Star Platinum punching the air wildly.
And it was unknown how long this swing lasted. When Jotaro regained consciousness, he actually felt a little tired.
"It was only a moment, but Star Platinum looked exhausted as if he had been punching continuously for more than ten seconds."
"And that guy just disappeared without a sound."
"Is this what is called time cutting?"
Jotaro's expression changed slightly.
He knew nothing about Diablo's Stand ability beforehand, and Polnareff only mentioned it briefly in his "last words" on the phone not long ago.
Now that he has personally experienced the power of Time Slash, Jotaro can't help but feel wary of this tricky ability:
Although it may not be as good as time stop.
But if the opponent takes the initiative, there is no doubt that I will not be able to stop the opponent's time reduction.
"Diabolo..."
Jotaro silently recited Diavolo's name.
He looked around with great vigilance and strong murderous intent, but still could not find any trace of the enemy.
Only a mottled bloodstain was left on the ground.
The sound of chaotic footsteps could still be heard faintly on the street in the distance.
"Did he escape in that direction?"
Jotaro frowned slightly:
Although he was confident that he could defeat Diablo head-on, he could not guarantee that he could keep him.
After all, if Diablo can continue to use Time Slash, then even Star Platinum won't be able to stop the enemy from escaping during the time being slashed.
“…”
Jotaro remained silent.
He first looked in the direction that Diablo seemed to have fled, then turned his head to look at the ancient Colosseum standing in front of him:
The Colosseum was filled with smoke and the flames had gone out.
The atmosphere was extremely peaceful, however, there were still faint moans of pain coming from the darkness.
"Polnareff..."
Jotaro couldn't help but think of his best friend again:
"Are you still alive?"
Most of his comrades-in-arms died in the Battle of Egypt more than ten years ago. The only survivors were his grandfather and Polnareff.
Jotaro knew in his heart that he couldn't afford to lose another friend.
If Polnareff is still alive but just seriously injured, then he must hurry to his friend's side and rescue him.
Thinking of this, he finally made a decision.
Jotaro turned around and took a last look in the direction where Diablo might have escaped.
Then, without hesitation, he turned around and stepped into the peaceful Colosseum.
it's all over.
Jotaro disappeared into the shadows of the Colosseum.
And behind him, at his feet, which he had not noticed before...
Under a tightly closed manhole cover, an extremely faint breath was whispering.
