JOJO: Bizarre Adventure

Africa, Algeria.

This is a church located in the suburbs. In fact, there isn't much of the city center here; it's mostly suburban.

Strictly speaking, this is a Catholic church located relatively close to residential areas, and nearby residents occasionally come to pray.

There are simple worship facilities and some Catholic church-related decorations here.

In the back rooms of this church are some household items and a large number of books.

A Black man—oh wait, actually he was white.

A rather dark-skinned white priest sat in the study, studying the book in his hands.

These books are very diverse, covering theology, history, astronomy, geography, and all sorts of other subjects.

I was reading and taking notes at the same time.

"Father, are you inside?"

Just then, a man's voice rang out from outside the church, and the white priest had no choice but to put down his pen and go to check the situation.

As soon as he stepped out of the side door, he saw several people waiting in the chapel.

Before anyone could speak, the man in the suit who was leading the group spoke first.

“So you’re here, Enrique Pucci.”

"what?!"

Pucci immediately became alert; he was now a figure of great interest to the new government, otherwise he wouldn't have had to hide in Africa.

"Don't worry, we're not here to arrest you, we're just here to retrieve our belongings."

Upon hearing this, Pucci was already prepared to run away.

He kept all his important belongings in a black briefcase in the corner of the back room, so he could make a quick getaway if things went wrong.

"What we want isn't your Stand Arrow, just a Stand disc. Give it to us and we'll leave immediately."

"You even know I have a substitute arrow! Who exactly are you people?!"

"That's not important. We're just here to pick up the 'See You Again' disc."

Pucci knew about the disc the man in the suit was talking about, but he didn't want to give it to him.

“You have no choice, Enrique Pucci.”

The man in the suit spoke again.

“You have no ability to escape from us, and besides, ‘See you again’ is ours anyway.”

We simply entrusted it to Katz for safekeeping; now that Katz is dead, it's only natural that we take it back.

These words reminded Pucci of something.

"You're from that mysterious organization!"

Pucci had heard rumors about [B], but he had never met any of their members directly, nor had he ever seen them in public.

Even so, he was unwilling to easily hand over the "See You Again" stand-in disc.

"That's right, it's us. So I advise you to hand over the Stand disc. You can't beat us by yourself."

"If I can't beat them, I can run away."

Pucci thought to himself, and was about to pull the door open and run away.

"See you again" is a crucial asset for his comeback, and he cannot easily give it up.

But when he used force, the doorknob broke.

"I advise you not to even think about running. This place is already covered by my Stand ability. Even if we don't directly stop you, it will be very difficult for you to escape."

So surrender and hand over what we want.

A chubby man wearing glasses sitting nearby spoke up.

This person has a typical Asian face and seems somewhat cultured, but not much.

"Don't even think about going head-to-head with us. Even if you don't know our strength, you at least know about him, right?"

The man in the suit turned to the side, revealing a man whose face had been blocked by him, thus preventing Pucci from seeing his face clearly.

It was a languid-looking white man wearing a pink leather jacket and green jeans, with star decorations on his clothes.

"You are... Patrick!"

This person is none other than Patrick, the most mysterious of the former Empire's "Ten Divine Servants," who completely disappeared after the Doomsday War.

At this moment, the former priest was sitting in his seat in the hall, arms crossed, looking at Pucci with a sleepy expression.

Now Pucci has to reconsider.

In terms of strength, he's a bit weaker than the "Ten Gods," let alone Patrick, whose background is completely unknown.

Even if his "White Snake" had the chance to pull out the disc from the other side, it would be difficult to deal with five enemies at the same time.

After much deliberation, he chose to ask a question.

"You just said that 'See You Again' was something you gave to Katz?"

Upon hearing this, the man in the suit smiled.

"Telling you won't hurt. Not only that, even the Stand user for 'Ordinary Disco' was given to Kars by us."

"Then Patrick has always been one of yours."

"That's right, his position in the Empire was just a task assigned by the organization."

Pucci realized that the organization's true power far exceeded his previous expectations.

"Alright, I can give you 'See You Again,' but you mustn't reveal my whereabouts to anyone else."

“We wouldn’t have done that anyway, since we need you to live.”

After hearing what the man in the suit said, Pucci glanced at the doorknob he had broken off.

The man in the suit immediately understood.

"Ayu, release your power."

Pucci went to the study, took out a box from the corner, and pulled out a disc.

"This is what you wanted: 'See you again.'"

"Okay, although this originally belonged to us, thank you for your cooperation."

The man in the suit gestured to the tall Black man next to him to take the disc, and then the group left the church.

An hour later, somewhere in Algeria, in a van.

Enrique Pucci was sitting in the driver's seat, heading towards the border.

Although the man in the suit said he wouldn't reveal his whereabouts to the outside world before he left, he still had to be careful.

So now he needs to find a new base.

"Kaz is dead, the world is in turmoil, and now they've come looking for 'See You Again.' Whether what they say is true or not, the purpose of this operation is probably not so simple."

With that Stand's abilities, there are so many things it can do.

Do they want to become the world's superpower?!

[B] Organization, just what kind of behemoth is behind you...?

--------

Southeast Asia, a small country called Zhangshen.

ACE sat on a park bench, looking at the man in front of her.

"Slurp—, you're finally here."

"How could I not come when the Vice Master summoned me?"

"Since you already know, then I'll just say it directly."

ACE continued drinking her milk tea.

"Please sit down,"

The lean man sat down next to ACE, waiting for him to speak.

"During this period, I took on a mission from the church, which required me to return to the country."

The exact duration of the trip is uncertain and depends on the specific circumstances.

"While I'm away, there might be some trouble from the church."

ACE spoke subtly, but the man still understood.

“I understand. I will personally lead the people to protect the church and will not trouble the senior members.”

"That was not what I meant."

The lean man's words did not elicit a nod from ACE; he continued:

"You don't need to lift a finger to deal with the people who are coming."

The man understood what he meant.

The reason he didn't need to take action wasn't because the enemy was too weak, but because he was too weak.

"That……"

"Please ask your teacher to come out of retirement and help us. This time, our opponent... we must go all out."

This is the leader's and my decision. After all, you and I are partners, and you need to show some attitude when facing our common enemy.

"To ask the master to come out of seclusion, and to require our two forces to unite, who exactly is this enemy...?"

"Ask less of what you shouldn't ask."

"Yes, Vice Leader."
