"Okuyasu, we'll definitely catch him. I just read in the newspaper this morning about a lot of theft cases, and it must all be Red Hot Chili Pepper's doing! We'll definitely ferret him out!"
Koichi also spoke loudly to Nijimura Okuyasu, hoping to calm him down.
"Your brother..."
"No, I'm very calm. It's only natural that my brother died... My brother was a bad person. Even I understand the principle that good is rewarded with good, and evil with evil."
Okuyasu directly interrupted Koichi. His expression was a bit distorted, but it was clear he was still rational. He gritted his teeth and spoke.
"My brother has killed countless people in the Town over the years. The crimes he committed would sooner or later lead to him being killed by others. It was only a matter of time before he faced punishment. If Red Hot Chili Pepper doesn't resist in the end, then I won't kill him."
"But, but, but still, I hope he resists, that he doesn't surrender! I can't wait to chop him to pieces!"
Listening to Nijimura Okuyasu's words squeezed through his teeth, Josuke shook his head and patted his shoulder.
"Okuyasu, sigh..."
But since Okuyasu had calmed down, it was time for the work to officially begin.
Actually, the stolen items were all minor matters. Although the amount was huge and the impact was not small, compared to the true danger of Red Hot Chili Pepper, these were nothing.
Higashikata Josuke, despite his delinquent appearance, was actually very gentle and meticulous on the inside; he was a kind and good person.
After he saw Nijimura Keicho being dragged directly into the wires and killed, he understood the true danger of this terrifying Stand.
"In this era where electricity is everywhere, he can appear in any corner of the city at any time, randomly grabbing people into the wires according to his own preferences, electrifying them until they're charred like roasted meat grilled for three hours over a fierce fire."
Higashikata Josuke murmured to himself. Both he and Jotaro knew very well that the reason this Stand User was still relatively well-behaved, only stealing some money, was entirely because they were still here.
This scoundrel was still very afraid of Jotaro. If Jotaro left, truly departed this small Town, then he would undoubtedly completely let himself go and go on a killing spree.
So he either had to completely eliminate the opponent, turning him into something like Angelo, or make the opponent surrender, send him to prison, and completely reform him.
Otherwise, as long as the opponent was free, this small Town would have no safety to speak of, just like a mad dog suddenly appeared in a warehouse full of plump meat. The residents of the Town would be completely defenseless.
And they, these Stand Users, were the dog-catching team, precisely to catch this mad dog!
"Crazy Diamond!"
With a slight parting of his lips, he called out the Stand's name. A burly man with exposed muscles and several pieces of silver-white clothing instantly appeared behind Higashikata Josuke.
This was Crazy Diamond, the super healer Stand that could repair everything except its own user, with a punch speed of over 300 kilometers per hour!
Kira Yoshikage's biggest obstacle on his path to victory!
"DORA-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA!"
Fists flew out rapidly, filling the air with shadows for a moment. The generator, along with the telephone and telegraph machine, were directly smashed to pieces, leaving only a pile of parts scattered everywhere.
Even the battery in the generator was directly smashed, but no Stand appeared. Only a pile of parts quietly remained there.
"Oh, Jotaro, it seems there's no danger here."
Higashikata Josuke looked back at Jotaro, who also nodded. "Ah, the enemy doesn't seem to be here... Okuyasu, is that car yours?"
But suddenly, Jotaro seemed to sense something was wrong. Although his face remained calm, he abruptly stepped forward, and as he spoke, Star Platinum activated, instantly smashing the motorcycle nearby.
With a series of crackling explosions, the motorcycle was blown to smithereens, but again, no Stand appeared.
Instead, Okuyasu was completely bewildered, his face full of confused questions, "This, Jotaro?"
"Oh, it's nothing. It's just that the motorcycle also has a battery, and I needed to check it. Josuke, you repair it."
But just then, a golden figure suddenly darted out from the smashed electric car battery.
The figure looked like a large lizard, with a chicken head and an eggshell on its head, exuding a dazzling golden light, full of electrical power.
It instantly lunged at Jotaro, trying to ambush him.
"Hahahaha, you fell for it, Jotaro!"
However, what responded to him was a sudden punch. The punch was perfectly aimed, directly hitting him squarely on the head.
It was Star Platinum's punch. Star Platinum seemed to have anticipated it, appearing at the same moment the figure emerged, and throwing a punch.
The result was that Red Hot Chili Pepper seemed to have actively crashed into the punch, being directly slammed to the ground, his eyes momentarily turning white.
Miles away, his user couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood on the spot, but fortunately, he recovered.
But just as the Stand was about to attack again, using its powerful attributes to escape, time suddenly stopped.
"Star Platinum: The World!"
He had already been somewhat suspicious of this car brought by Nijimura Okuyasu, not for any other reason, but simply because Okuyasu brought it. This highly mobile Stand User, capable of moving through electrical wires, had been watching them.
As their biggest threat, if they made any unusual moves, this damned Stand User would surely notice.
And this time he had called all five of them, and of course, he had used the phone in between. Although he didn't say what they were doing, he didn't believe this hidden fellow wouldn't be curious.
Therefore, he would definitely come, either hiding in the equipment or hiding in the battery-powered items they brought.
And the battery had to be large, otherwise it couldn't provide energy for this Stand. This time, the only item with a large battery was this motorcycle.
"Time stops flowing!"
Star Platinum gave a wicked smile, and time stop activated on the spot. It had been a long time since he had used time stop to hit someone. The last time he thoroughly enjoyed beating someone was when he fought Dio.
Jotaro, as an orderly good and upright person, would not casually use Star Platinum to hit people. (If there might be an enemy, then it wouldn't count as casual.)
This time, he could hit to his heart's content.
Star Platinum roared, its fists flying out rapidly, raining down on this Stand like countless stars falling from the sky, with an unimaginable speed.
"ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA-RA-RA-RA!"
The moment the time stop ended, Star Platinum turned around, and Red Hot Chili Pepper instantly almost exploded, being beaten to smithereens on the spot. The Stand, which had been emitting golden light, instantly became incredibly dim.
The Stand fell directly to the ground, struggling weakly, but utterly powerless to resist.
"Josuke, repair the machine now."
"Ah, Jotaro, can't we just ask this guy directly? Wouldn't it be enough to just interrogate him about where his user is?"
Higashikata Josuke kicked the Red Hot Chili Pepper lying on the ground, somewhat puzzled, but Jotaro glanced at the Stand, "I don't believe his words."
With that simple yet powerful reason, Higashikata Josuke immediately went back to repairing. Under the Stand's power, the fragments of the other machines coalesced and reassembled, returning to their original complete form.
Meanwhile, Okuyasu walked up to the Stand, gritting his teeth and staring intently at it. The Hand flickered in and out of existence behind him.
It was as if he really wanted to chop this scoundrel to pieces, which scared Red Hot Chili Pepper, who felt like he couldn't escape.
