Why was Hot Pants in the Naruto world?!
The first thing Ryosuke thought of was genjutsu like Tsukuyomi.
But almost immediately, he rejected that possibility.
During the battle with Isshiki and the others, in order to revive Kaguya, Ryosuke had deliberately triggered the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Crimson moonlight enveloped the land, pulling everyone who saw it into the illusionary world.
Although the Infinite Tsukuyomi was halted shortly after Kaguya's revival, during that brief period, Ryosuke had still been subjected to the illusion.
To be honest, the so-called Infinite Tsukuyomi was just so-so.
Not to mention that Ryosuke had White Snake and could release all genjutsu, even without any Stand at all, with his current mental strength, it was impossible for him to be affected by genjutsu.
If even Infinite Tsukuyomi couldn't do it, what in this world could affect him?
So… It was real.
Hot Pants had really come here.
Ryosuke took a bottle of healing potion from the Ghost Room and poured it into Hot Pants' mouth. At the same time, he condensed a Ripple crystal in his palm and gently pressed it against her chest.
Pearl Jam plus crystalline Ripple healed the wounds on her body.
Seeing Hot Pants' pale face regain some color and her breathing gradually stabilize, Ryosuke let out a sigh of relief.
"Who is she?" Terumi Mei asked.
"She…"
"She's my friend."
Ryosuke's gaze was complicated as he took the disc out of Hot Pants' chest.
Once removed from her body, the disc stopped spinning, revealing the image of the big rabbit, D4C.
There was no mistake.
This was the disc Ryosuke had extracted during the trial mission after defeating President Funny Valentine, using Axl's Civil War to summon White Snake.
Because items from trial missions couldn't be brought back, Ryosuke had left the disc with Johnny and the others.
Who would have thought that after going in circles, it would return to Ryosuke's hands again?
The appearance of this disc meant that the Hot Pants before him was the same comrade who had fought side by side with Ryosuke in dinosaur form.
So the question returned to the beginning, why had Hot Pants appeared here?
Ryosuke looked at the piece of the Saint's Corpse tightly clenched in her hand.
There were nine pieces of the Saint's Corpse in total. The one she was holding was the head.
'D4C can travel between parallel worlds, but Naruto and JOJO don't fall within the scope of 'parallel worlds.' The only explanation is the 'miracle' created by the Saint's Corpse.'
As Ryosuke thought this, he reached out to take the Saint's Corpse from Hot Pants' hand.
Whoosh!
A sharp gust of wind appeared.
Hot Pants' hand hovered in front of Ryosuke, gripping a spray can, it was her Stand, Cream Starter.
She didn't press the spray.
A sharp hairpin was pressed against Hot Pants' throat.
Terumi Mei's gaze was cold and sharp.
She would not allow anyone to hurt Ryosuke.
But Hot Pants didn't look at Terumi Mei. She didn't stop attacking because of the cold hairpin at her throat. She stopped because she saw Ryosuke's eyes.
Different appearance.
Different world.
But these eyes, Hot Pants would never forget them. She opened her mouth and instinctively called out the corresponding name, "Ryo… suke…"
Ryosuke patted Terumi Mei on the shoulder, signaling her to relax, then extended his hand to Hot Pants on the ground.
"It's me. Long time no see."
Hot Pants grabbed Ryosuke's hand and stood up. Hearing those words, her eyes filled with complicated emotions as she said softly, "Yeah… it's been too long."
She didn't explain much. Instead, she immediately handed the Saint's Corpse to Ryosuke, glanced around warily, and spoke faster, "They're about to arrive. Ryosuke, you have to be careful. An attack could come at any time, and…"
"They're all Stand users."
'Stand users invading the Naruto world?!'
Ryosuke frowned slightly. "Who are the 'they' you're talking about?"
Hot Pants said, "There are three of them, and among them..."
Before she could finish, an invisible, formless, soundless "sphere" slammed into Ryosuke from behind without any warning.
The next second, half of Ryosuke's body vanished as if it had been torn away by a beast of the void. The remaining half was drenched in blood, chunks of flesh and organs falling away.
"Ryosuke!"
Terumi Mei and Hot Pants cried out at the same time, their scalps going numb.
Hiss!
The invisible, formless transparent sphere stopped several dozen meters away.
Vanilla Ice stuck his head out of the void.
"So this is the so-called Ghost, Ryosuke?"
Vanilla sneered as he crawled out of his Stand, Cream.
Cream, which had hidden itself in another dimension through self-devouring, also returned to its humanoid form, floating behind Vanilla.
He took an old-fashioned walkie-talkie from his chest and said, "It's already taken care of. Looks like your ability won't be needed."
After saying that, Vanilla tossed the walkie-talkie aside.
Neon lights from the distant city center slanted over, reflecting in Vanilla's crimson eyes and pale skin.
Handsome, sinister, and terrifying.
He was a vampire modified by Dio. Seeing Hot Pants and Terumi Mei, two delicious little buns, his desire surged, and his greedy gaze swept over them.
Throwing away the walkie-talkie meant he didn't want his companions to interrupt his feeding.
Vanilla leapt forward, about to kill the two of them.
Suddenly, a figure like a raging storm charged in front of him at an even faster speed.
Before he could defend or retreat back into Cream, a hand grabbed his head and lifted him up like a little chick.
"You know me?" Ryosuke asked.
Vanilla stared at Ryosuke, who was completely uninjured, his mind going blank.
"D-did I miss?!"
Impossible.
Vanilla had clearly seen Ryosuke with only half his body left.
'Could it be…'
Vanilla noticed Ryosuke's indeed damaged clothing, and an uncontrollable, terrifying thought arose in his mind, 'He healed those injuries in an instant?!'
'How is that possible?! Even vampires can't do that after losing half their body!'
Suddenly, their eyes met, and countless thoughts instantly collapsed into a single emotion, fear.
In everyday life, Ryosuke deliberately restrained his own life fluctuations to avoid affecting ordinary people around him.
But once he entered combat mode, the fully released aura of a perfect lifeform was absolute top-tier suppression to a vampire.
Awe, despair, and being swallowed by a sense of one's own insignificance.
At this moment, Vanilla's eyes went unfocused, his will to resist collapsing. Just as he was about to submit completely, his body suddenly erupted with pitch-black light, forcibly awakening his will.
"Cream..."
Smack!
White Snake slapped Vanilla across the face.
Crackle… Click!
Cream vanished, and two discs popped out.
Ryosuke was about to reach for them when he noticed strands of black light coiling around the discs. The black light surged up like venomous snakes, about to contaminate Ryosuke's body and mind.
And the discs that had lost the black light, along with Vanilla himself, gradually disappeared.
Ryosuke understood.
Just like those resurrected by Impure World Reincarnation, the discs extracted from them were decayed and damaged. Vanilla, shrouded in black light, also couldn't be disc-extracted, and his Stand ability couldn't be seized.
Since he couldn't extract discs to read memories…
Ripple flashed in Ryosuke's palm as he was about to kill Vanilla.
Suddenly...
Ryosuke returned to his original position.
Opposite him was Vanilla, who had just poked his head out of Cream, only to immediately dive back in.
"This feeling…"
Ryosuke frowned slightly and lowered his gaze to his watch.
Hot Pants' warning came from beside him, "It's Ringo Roadagain! His Stand ability is…"
"Man in the Mirror!"
