JOJO: Bizarre Adventure

"Although your abilities seem very strong, you still have obvious weaknesses."

Lizzie Borden assumed a fighting stance, looking at the three people who had half-surrounded her.

Her tone remained incredibly calm and confident.

"Although I don't know the specific effects of your ability, you can't heal yourself, can you?"

The most obvious evidence is the knife wound in your chest, which continues to worsen, like an eraser punctured by a pencil in the hand of a bored schoolchild!

As she spoke, Lizzie Borden charged toward Fu Yao, who was holding a short dagger.

Although Qiao Zhou couldn't see it, he could roughly guess that the "axe-wielder" had already rushed towards Josuke.

As Josuke kept dodging, blood kept gushing from his chest.

Upon seeing this, the masked man immediately tried to support Fu Yao, but was forced back several steps by a sharp slash.

There was no other way; the space here was too cramped, and the opponent's substitute had almost completely separated him from Fu Yao and Zhang Zhu.

The current situation is that Lizzie Borden's double is blocking the rear of the carriage and the space inside, preventing people inside from getting out and people outside from getting in.

Its main body was fighting Fu Yao, and its ruthless attack methods once suppressed Fu Yao.

Its Stand, "Axe-Holder," also overwhelmed another close-range power-type Stand in a direct battle.

The most troublesome thing was that there was a large group of teenagers gathered together in the carriage, their hands and feet tied.

Fortunately, the truck was large enough that there was a distance of nearly 20 meters between the front and rear, so most of the teenagers were not seriously injured.

He can't break through now unless he can withstand the "Axe-Wielder's" attacks.

"This is the only way! Rainbow People!"

Seizing an opening, the masked man summoned his double, who then bent slightly and rushed forward.

In an instant, his tattered trench coat transformed into silver armor, which appeared to be highly defensive.

He intended to use the armor to withstand the "Axe-Wielder's" attacks!

From his perspective, the "axe-wielder" saw him rushing over and immediately swung his axe down with a backhand.

"Ugh!"

Then... he pounced...

"Holy crap! Looks so high and mighty, but got wiped out in one move! And almost cut in half at the waist! You're a...!"

Seeing this, Qiao Zhou was somewhat devastated. He couldn't see the stand-in, but even so, he knew how bad the situation was.

Josuke was seriously injured and suppressed, and Fu Yao was barely on par with Lizzie Borden.

Not far away stood an enemy who looked formidable.

Before Qiao Zhou could continue complaining, a small round box fell to the side of him.

This was accidentally thrown out by Fu Yao during the battle, and it unexpectedly flew to Qiao Zhou's side.

He reached for the small box as if possessed and took it in his hand.

Fu Yao also noticed the situation, but Lizzie Borden's relentless attacks kept him from breaking free.

"Don't move!"

Seeing that her opponent still had the mood to talk to others, Lizzie Borden sneered.

Mind your own business! Don't get distracted in the fight!

Qiao Zhou naturally heard Fu Yao's words, but he did not stop.

Because his hands were tied in front of his body, he could easily see what he was holding.

Gently open the flip cover, and inside is a golden arrow!

"This is... the Arrow of Substitution!"

Without hesitation, Qiao Zhou reached out and pinched the arrow.

"hiss--"

Looking at the cuts on his hand, Qiao Zhou sensed the changes in his body.

"Although I didn't sense a Stand, at least I'm not dead..."

brush--!

Lizzie Borden had already noticed that something was wrong with Qiao Zhou, so she immediately controlled the "Axe-Wielder" to chop in his direction.

This time, Qiao Zhou saw it clearly.

It was a burly stuntman wielding a giant axe, the axe being a typical woodcutter's axe, and the stuntman's appearance was rather masculine.

The overall impression is that of a malevolent killer from a Western horror movie.

At that moment, the "murderer" swung an axe at him.

"Woo-gan! I just awakened my Stand and I'm going to die?! I'm really not ready to live any longer!"

That was his only thought, and then his not-so-bright mind went completely blank.

When he came to his senses and opened his eyes, he was shocked to find that something was wrong.

"Huh? Where are the people?"

The fierce-looking stand-in in front of them had vanished without a trace.

Fu Yao and Zhang Zhu, standing to the side, were adjusting their state, looking completely relieved.

"Huh? What's going on... Could it be my Stand ability?!"

Qiao Zhou sensed his body's condition and discovered that something seemed to have changed within him.

It felt like... having an extra body part.

He tried to summon his substitute again, but still failed.

"Hey, although I don't know where you took that person, don't think you've won. I, Sky Island Hunter, am not someone to be trifled with!"

I was only watching from the sidelines to avoid accidentally hurting that person. After all, my "Wicked City" is a Stand so powerful it can't distinguish friend from foe!

Seeing everyone in such a state, Sky Island Hunter, who was watching from the sidelines, shouted fiercely.

"Hey kid, what's with that look on your face? Are you looking down on me?!"

As he spoke, Sky Island Hunter stomped down, and instantly sparks flew everywhere, completely blasting the already wrecked vehicle's rear into rubble.

"My target is only you few revolutionaries. Other tributes are not within the scope of my attack. If you know what's good for you, surrender obediently to avoid unnecessary casualties."

Seeing the seriously injured Josuke and Fu Yao, Qiao Zhou felt a surge of anxiety.

"Hey, my double, come out here! You were the one who got rid of that woman, weren't you? Help me again!"

Half a minute ago, in a wasteland ten kilometers away from here.

The Wheel of Fortune is speeding through this rugged countryside.

"She's coming! I can feel it! She's about to be teleported here. Keep accelerating! We have to shake her off before she teleports back!"

Just as he uttered those words, Lizzie Borden suddenly appeared in mid-air.

"Now! Turn back!"

Upon seeing Lizzie Borden appear, the Wheel of Fortune made a U-turn and headed back the way it came.

Lizzie Borden was left lying on the ground, completely bewildered.

That's why they ran away—to use "Rashomon" to lure Lizzie Borden away and get their teammates out of trouble.

Back on the truck battlefield, Qiao Zhou's body had been untied, and a blue and white humanoid stand-in appeared behind him.

Information about a stand-in also appeared in his mind.

By constantly summarizing the previous battles, Qiao Zhou understood the current situation.

The situation just now was not caused by my own ability.

That enemy was probably dealt with by someone else's abilities.

The enemy before them would explode upon physical contact.

But they lack remote means.

Then there is only one way.

"The storyteller!"

Qiao Zhou shouted and charged toward Sky Island Hunter, but "Storyteller" tackled him and took him out of the truck's range.

"Ugh—ah—Josuke—come save me!"

Despite the excruciating pain of the explosion, the "storyteller" continued to punch Skypiea Hunter!

Josuke understood the situation and immediately summoned "Crazy Diamond" to provide support.

"Dula doula doula doula doula!"

Then, a wonderful scene appeared.

The storyteller pinned Sky Island Gari, dressed in "Dread City," to the ground and beat her repeatedly.

"Crazy Diamond" was attacking Qiao Zhou and "Storyteller" to treat him.

Meanwhile, the "Wicked City" continues to explode.

Meanwhile, more than 100 meters ahead of the truck, inside a taxi.

"What bad luck to run into something like this, but it's okay, I'm familiar with this area. I know a small road under the highway that won't delay your journey..."

The taxi driver continued grumbling while trying to escape the chaotic traffic.

Looking at the scene ahead, the man in the taxi unconsciously pulled his hat down further.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah..."
