JOJO: Bizarre Adventure

Speaking of which, I originally wanted to do another episode to roast the stand-ins, since there weren't many stand-in moments to roast in the previous episodes due to the needs of the plot.

However, in order not to disappoint everyone's kindness, I decided to give it up.

So this chapter continues the story, so please don't scroll away if you're still reading.

However, I still have a few words to say.

This is my first time making a side story like this, and I didn't expect it to be so inefficient.

With almost no flaws, there are only eight stand-ins per chapter.

This makes things difficult. There are three options, and I'll choose the first one: increase the frequency of these side stories.

Then several chapters were published at once.

After all, there are many questionable Stand designs later on, it's really... well, that's the gist of it.

Another point is the "Character Essays" series. My premise for publishing a "Character Essays" series is that the person has already appeared in my book, preferably just mentioned.

Wait, I think I forgot about Yoshikage Kira...

It's okay, there's more of his story to come, we'll talk about it then.

It doesn't matter anymore. After the Italian arc ends, there will be a new compilation of Stand commentary and some character musings about the boss.

Yes, I don't know if you've noticed, but both of my side stories appear after a certain part of the story has ended.

Now, let's turn our attention to the European continent and see how far the "Hell" plan has progressed.

--------

Berlin, Germany.

“Mr. Stroheim, you’re asking too much of us.”

A man dressed in a suit, with his hair neatly combed, sat down at the table and began to speak with a serious expression.

"I'm warning you, don't cross my line."

Another man, dressed in a strange jacket and with an arrogant expression, was behind the desk. He was lying on the office chair with his two large, booted feet propped up on the table without any regard for appearances.

If I told you that one of these two people is a government employee and the other is a member of organized crime, most people would probably mistake them for someone else.

The truth is, that somewhat unrefined, even unkempt guy was a government official.

The seemingly respectable man was actually a member of the underworld.

So everyone, remember this: sometimes things can't be judged by common sense.

"This is our country, not your [hell]."

"I can leave you alone for now, but you better watch out. If you want to continue to hog the government like before, then be prepared to die!"

After saying that, Little Shu Troheim saw that the man was about to speak again, so he added:

"I've already given you face, now get back!"

Before the man could speak, Schultehertz reached out and a gun barrel was within a centimeter of his forehead.

The gun barrel was an extension of the one held by young Schulteheim.

As a cyborg, every part of Schroederheim's body can be used as a killing tool.

Seeing this, the man wisely left.

In fact, Schwarz Troheim Jr. never intended to keep them alive, but Germany's strength was far from what he planned, so he had to endure it for the time being.

That's right. For this guy, putting his feet on the table and cursing while pointing a gun at someone's head is already considered being tolerant.

That's the reality; if they really went all out, they would bombard the enemy base with artillery.

In the view of the young Schultestrom, his German army would one day rule the world, conquer all the lands inhabited by humans, and even the badlands rarely visited by humans.

This is the German soldier, this is the German pursuit.

The so-called "pacifying the internal before resisting external aggression" is utter nonsense. While Hell may be a threat, it won't pose any real danger.

Their goal isn't to destroy the country, so what's there to be afraid of?

The real enemies are those regimes and nations that are eager to conquer the world.

Of course, that's the kind of person he is.

In order to dominate the world, a period of cautious development is necessary.

After the New World opened, the power of Hell increased rather than decreased, but the power of Germany as a nation was greatly reduced.

However, what Little Shu Troheim didn't know was that Hell's ambitions went far beyond that.

--------

Virgil Estate, London, England.

"Are all seven deadly sins in place?"

"Everyone except for the 'Sin of Greed,' who is still in Italy, has arrived."

Virgil remained seated, engrossed in his book, seemingly oblivious to everything else.

"Let them rest well. After Italy is recaptured, they still have a few tough battles to fight."

"understood."

"Also, keep a close eye on the things I asked you to arrange before. I trust your ability to handle things."

[Hell] The journey ahead is not just about gangsters, but about the entire world.

But they're not the only ones watching this world; many others are also observing it.

"By the way, how's Farinata doing?"

"No new prophecies have been received yet."

"Alright, then keep a close eye on those major organizations. After [Passion] is destroyed, it'll be China's [Magic Rock] and those smaller organizations' turn."

Those guys are much more difficult to deal with than [Enthusiasm], so we'll have to send Qiao Zhou and the others over there.

And Had should be back soon too; didn't Farina say he needed him to go to China?

"Yes, sir, I'll take care of it right away."

--------

In a conference room within a royal palace in Southeast Asia.

"We've pretty much taken care of those guys overseas. Shouldn't we head back to the mainland and start developing our business?"

Liu Shanxi was referring to the territory of China.

“We don’t have that much influence within the country, but development is necessary. Since you’ve said that, you must have a goal.”

A (hereinafter referred to as ACE) continued.

"Of course, but don't get too cocky, do you think you're so smart?"

Seeing ACE's listless and dejected appearance, Liu Shanxi felt quite helpless.

"We have our sights set on a cult that is entrenched in southern China and we plan to take action against them."

Liu Shanxi took out a stack of documents.

"Leave it to me, I'll go."

Before he could even speak, ACE interrupted him again.

This surprised everyone, as their vice leader was not known for his diligence.

"Why are you all looking at me like that? Can't a person even get some work done?"

No one dared to say much for a moment, after all, the other person had volunteered to do the work, so what could they say?

"Alright, if there's nothing else, let's adjourn the meeting. I'm going back to rest and prepare to head to China."

Just as ACE was about to get up, Liu Shanxi could no longer contain his emotions.

"I'm telling you, stop this already! You just started rambling on and on, and now you're adjourning the meeting! There's a limit to how much you can ignore people!"

So ACE sat back down.

"There's nothing to say. I have to go on this mission, that's all."

"So who are you going with?"

"No need, I can manage on my own."

"That's enough, you idiot,"

"I said I'll go by myself."

"Okay, then I'll let you go by yourself, but you can't mess this up."

"Understood, as you command..."

ACE even drew out the last syllable after "obey".
