I, Minami Kotori, Son of the Sun

"Time, stop!"

As the world fell into black and white, the alien Zi-O fell from the sky and looked at his subordinates who were embarrassed by the phantom thief.

"Useless trash!" On the way to Kidd, the Alien Zi-O slapped his obstructing subordinate aside.

"I was really out of my mind. If I wanted to find out your identity, why not just punch you in the face?"

If they die, they are just trash - if they still stand firm and return a bigger punch, they are Rx.

A punch pierced the chest, and the muscles and organs in the abdominal cavity seemed to be cut off.

"Heh, it's a fake." The Alien Zi-O laughed at himself, looking at the hole, trying to imagine what expression would be on that guy's face when time resumed flowing.

"Time, resume its flow."

The expected scream did not come, instead, a fist as powerful as a diamond slowly grew bigger in front of his eyes.

"Your next words are, how is this possible?"

"How is this possible! Nani!"

The 19th-century magician stood on the edge of the rooftop, holding onto a corner pillar, his white cape flowing in the breeze. "What you just attacked was a fake."

"I've noticed someone observing this place a long time ago. Didn't you notice that the 'dummy' you pierced through the chest was very fixed in its movements? Well, if his subordinates are humanoid robots that can't even catch up with a puppet, then the boss can't be that smart either." Kaito raised the corner of his mouth and said sarcastically.

"You suddenly appeared here and nearly killed me... Such a tricky ability—you're also a Stand user, right?"

"I thought your ability was teleportation? No!" Kaito pointed at Kira Yoshikage and said, "I saw clearly that the dummy was torn apart in an instant. And no matter what, your arrival here and the impact on the dummy's chest couldn't have happened at the same time. So, to borrow a phrase from my old rival."

"There's only one truth. Your ability is to stop time, right?"

"......" Kira Yoshikage's face under the mask was shocked. How could this guy see through his ability after just one encounter?

As expected of Rx's companions, they're really tricky. Just picking one of them would have such judgment and Stand abilities...

Kaito knew that the other party's silence verified the answer to the question - just like a maniac at a gambling game, when he was silent and had a ferocious look on his face, that was when his hand was guessed. Even though the guy was wearing a skull helmet, Kaito could fully imagine the disgusting face under the mask!

He knew he had guessed correctly, but he was not happy at all.

Time stopped? If that was the ability, they probably couldn't escape.

"You're really interesting, but my real Stand ability is more than that."

"What? Your Stand has a second ability?!" Kaito was shocked. Shouldn't a Stand only have one ability? And it already has the ability to stop time. Isn't that too much?!

Thinking about it this way, he was previously complacent about his Crazy Diamond's unsolvable repair ability, but there are always people better than you!

Kira Yoshikage summoned Killer Queen, picked up two stones on the ground, and threw them at Kaito.

"Don't even think about it!" Kaito's heart was filled with alarm. He didn't try to block it with Crazy Diamonds, but took out the playing card gun hanging on his right leg.

The two playing cards collided with the stone accurately, and then the original stone and playing cards turned into black smoke and dissipated.

"This is! Annihilation?!" Kaito thought of that unproven theory - the moment matter and antimatter come into contact, they annihilate each other. "You, did you turn the stone into antimatter?!"

"Haha, what do you think? My Stand ability is better. It's better to give up and run away as soon as possible." Kira Yoshikage smiled without saying anything. The other party seemed to be intimidated. Now is the best time to make a last-ditch effort. "If you tell me your Stand ability, I can spare your life. Of course, the same goes for that father and daughter."

Kira Yoshikage had no intention of lying. This was just one of his long reincarnations.

He has made considerable progress, and now he is 100% or even 90% sure that the Kaito Kid and Tachibana father and daughter in front of him are closely related to Rx.

Whether he kills them or not, Rx who comes will kill himself.

And in the next reincarnation, all the information he has will become bargaining chips for Kira Yoshikage to negotiate with Rx.

And before that, he didn't want an uncertain factor to interfere with his great plan of restoring a peaceful life.

"Believe me, if I wanted to kill you, I could do it right now, but I admire the strong. Therefore, I am very curious about your Stand ability."

This Kira Yoshikage is incredibly powerful, yet overly cautious?! Don't ask why he's so cautious; he was incredibly arrogant in the beginning. In the original JoJo series, he was so arrogant that he even walked into the range of Star Platinum. Now, with PTSD from being tortured by a certain green, fly-headed knight, he's absolutely not going to ignore any unstable factors!

"My Stand ability is written on a piece of paper, you can find it yourself!" Kaito produced a piece of white paper, wrote and drew on it, then crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the sky with Crazy Diamond.

"Hold my hand tight!" Kaito, possessed by Crazy Diamond, kicked the ground hard, and with the help of the powerful recoil, he opened his glider and flew in the opposite direction with Tachibana and his daughter.

"No, he's chasing me." Tachibana Kanade's heart gradually calmed down. The dangerous signal from that guy was getting farther and farther away.

Kaito sighed in relief, his expression falling, "That's scary."

"Kaito Kidd, come to think of it, I've heard Kotori talk about you before. You're worthy of being the one she admires." Dad said with a smile.

"Awesome! Let me hear what Miss Knight has to say about me." Kaito suddenly became energetic, and the track of his hang glider shook.

"I'm praising you... for having good taste?" Dad thought for a moment, "Maybe he's praising you."

"......" Kaito's face was filled with black lines, "That evil young lady!!!"

Isn't this just accusing him of carrying women's clothing?!

. . .

On the other side, Kira Yoshikage took some effort and finally caught the paper ball.

He flipped open the crumpled white paper with anticipation.

[Please look here →]

[Look here again?]

"......." Kira Yoshikage was a little angry, but when he thought about the character of the Phantom Thief, he felt relieved and continued to search along the mark.

【Look again】

【Watch it last?】

[Stupid, we're back to square one.]

"......." Kira Yoshikage laughed angrily, "I must be crazy to believe the words of a thief!"

He was about to tear it off, but he found a line of small blue words on the back in the sunlight.

"Ooh! This is the magic trick!?!"

"There really are idiots who would believe the words of a phantom thief, hahaha." Kira Yoshikage recited the elegant font word by word, and the signature was a Q version of Kidd's head that asked for a beating.

"I changed my mind. I'm going to kill you now! Right now!!!"
