"What immense power!!" Diavolo said intoxicated, "Thank you, Johnson Joffrey! You made me angry; I haven't been this angry in a long time! Anger can cultivate a person's spiritual power, and now I am invincible!!!"
He walked behind Johnson Joffrey. Although he might also be hit by the car, he wouldn't die, just suffer a slight injury—
"King Crimson!! Now put me back into time!!!"
He shouted wildly. His voice, already ruined by Metallica, now became even lower, hoarser, and more terrifying!
The world began to return to its original colors. Johnson Joffrey suddenly realized that he had already deformed a huge car with his punches, and at the same time, his eyes suddenly throbbed with pain—
"This is my triple attack on you!!! Johnson Joffrey!!"
"Die!! A full half-minute of time erasure!!"
Polnareff suddenly saw a car appear in front of Johnson Joffrey as if by teleportation, and it had already been deformed by Johnson Joffrey!
"Damn it! So that's it!!" Polnareff widened his eyes, seeing a pool of blood gathered from his subordinate.
"The time Diavolo can erase has become longer. The car that was driven before the time erasure, he got out of the driver's seat during the erased period, but the car still continues to move in its original direction and speed. Johnson Joffrey also changes his actions according to normal movements—
"But Diavolo is no longer in that car, yet Johnson Joffrey still attacks the car with unconscious actions—
"What powerful time erasure! From this perspective, he can already erase dozens of seconds of time! After leaving the car, when Johnson Joffrey attacks the car and then uses blood to blind his eyes—
"After the time erasure is lifted, Johnson Joffrey can only prioritize immunizing the blood in his eyes, as he can only immunize one object's ability. So will he be crushed by the car?!!!"
"John—son—" Polnareff shouted loudly—
The huge car crashed down!!!
The sand on the beach was suddenly kicked up—
"Diavolo actually possesses such combat intelligence!! And he has even exceeded his own limits, a full half-minute of time erasure!!" Polnareff shouted, "Has Johnson already lost?"
"It's not over yet!! Johnson Joffrey!!" Diavolo shouted from the bottom of his heart, "Your third attack!! It's my Diavolo!"
This is my last chance to erase the past...
Only by killing you can I completely forget those days of the beach and my pathetic past… Diavolo felt the sunlight on him—this place, in fact, was very familiar to him—this beach wasn't too far from his hometown, the small village where he grew up.
But for him as a child, it was very far.
Back then, he had to take a bus to the city with his loving adoptive father to reach this beach.
Of course, most wealthy people would come to this beach for tourism. Sometimes, Diavolo would even rent a camera and sit there, taking photos for others.
At that time, he wanted to earn more money so he could completely escape his past.
Diavolo's childhood wasn't pathetic; his adoptive father was highly respected in that area, loved him dearly, and supported him even more.
But Diavolo had a different life and past from the day he was born.
Because he was a demon, born from a mysterious Prison, his eyes would instill terror in people, which is why his mother, who was arrested for robbery and debauchery, named him Diavolo.
He was always trying to forget his past. He believed he would eventually become a favored son of heaven, just as the saying goes about natural-born villains; from a certain perspective, Diavolo was indeed a natural-born villain.
He witnessed the extravagance of many wealthy people on the beach, and upon returning home, his adoptive father demanded he live like an ascetic, a devout Christian, which further solidified his yearning for power.
For a demon, nothing is more agonizing than being under the cross.
He was skilled at lying and disguising. When he met Trish's mother, the diplomat's daughter, he would lie about being a sailor, and in front of outsiders, he would pretend to be a timid and weak person… This kind of disguise was deeply ingrained in his bones, eventually becoming another soul in his life—
Torbio… that timid, weak, and emotionally volatile personality he had since childhood, was all his weakness. Diavolo cultivated this personality in front of the cross.
God is hypocritical; He needs slaves with a personality like Torbio, and even more, He needs the unknown to rule everything.
Why can't I? King Crimson is the divine power bestowed upon me by heaven, granting me the ability to manipulate time.
I can also be a hypocritical god, manipulating everything with the unknown… Diavolo looked down at Johnson Joffrey, who was about to be crushed, and rushed towards him.
"This is my third attack—"
"Blood blinding the eyes, a flying sports car, and the fist of my King Crimson—"
"Johnson Joffrey!! Can Reversed Hierophant block it?!"
I've won, I've won!! Diavolo was ecstatic inside.
"All this time, happiness meant one thing to me: peace of mind—"
"I want to exist peacefully in this world, but now I've experienced another kind of happiness!!"
"That's you! Johnson Joffrey, you brought me this happiness, making me thoroughly understand that when I face a desperate situation—"
"Gaining a new reversal is my greatest happiness, and it has become incredibly important along with peace of mind."
Our commentator: Polnareff.
At the end of the previous chapter, time skip, found a car, time skip ended, drove the car, time skip (a thirty-seven-second time deletion), abandoned the car, but the car continued to drive, the car landed on Johnson's head, Johnson started fighting. Under the time skip, people's actions would proceed exactly as Epitaph had foreseen. Johnson ignored the car, then Diavolo came, blinded by blood, went around behind him, the thirty-seven-second time skip ended, the car, the blood, and Diavolo attacked simultaneously. This was a triple attack.
Diavolo's memories, what he was like in the past—don't argue with me about it, Araki himself never filled in the details, and don't take what I write as truth; I'm making it all up.
I've strengthened all the boss battles, Johnson and Diavolo alike. Strengthening them isn't cheating; it's much more exciting than instantly defeating them with an arrow.
