Many Stand abilities have activation conditions.
Close-range power types often require both hands to make contact.
For example, Bucciarati's Sticky Fingers, Giorno's Gold Experience, and White Snake and Killer Queen's First Bomb are all like this.
But what if the fishing line was attacked and this attack was transmitted to the target hit by the fishhook?
Then it would be very easy.
The fishing line could also transmit the Stand's special attack.
Therefore, White Snake's ability to extract Discs was instantly transmitted to Ghiaccio's body, extracting the Disc from Ghiaccio, thus ending the battle.
"Ghiaccio, you are truly a strong opponent."
Walking to Ghiaccio's previous position, picking up the Disc on the ground, and looking at the now empty bridge, Takatsuki sighed.
If he hadn't drawn a wave of cards before, obtaining Ghiaccio's Disc would have been very troublesome, and he might have had to use King Crimson's ability, which would have made Diavolo wary.
Of course, simply killing Ghiaccio wasn't difficult.
Heaven's Stairway, having devoured White Album, could not generate a layer of armor for Takatsuki like White Album could, because that layer of armor was the Stand's main body.
However, Takatsuki still gained immunity to extreme cold damage and the ability to generate cold air.
In the original work, when Ghiaccio was lying on the roof of Giorno's car, he didn't release his armor but instead froze himself in a block of solid ice, continuously releasing cold air.
That block of solid ice could not harm him, and now it was the same for Takatsuki.
When Takatsuki left the Mirror World, he saw Giorno and Mista lying on the ground.
"How are you, Giorno? Still alive?"
Giorno was lying on the ground, but seeing his left hand placed on his abdomen and the arm of Gold Experience appearing above it, he knew he was still alive.
He was currently healing himself.
It was just that he was too severely injured to speak, after all, his internal organs were damaged.
And his right hand?
Takatsuki looked at Giorno's right hand, to put it in one phrase:
It was completely shattered...
He was still holding a seashell in his hand, and Takatsuki naturally knew what it was.
One of the A-rank items previously drawn, a Sky Island Dial called an Impact Dial.
It could generate extremely strong Impact, but its recoil was also very exaggerated, even to the point of causing the user to die instantly.
It was because of this that Giorno's right hand was shattered into a comminuted fracture from using the Impact Dial.
"Using an Impact Dial with one hand, you're really something, Giorno."
Takatsuki didn't think much of the Impact Dial, so he threw it to others.
Giorno, feeling that he lacked offensive power, took the Impact Dial.
"Don't make sarcastic remarks... cough, cough..."
After a period of painful treatment, Giorno finally repaired his internal organs, but he still coughed up a large mouthful of blood when he spoke.
That was the blood from his previously damaged internal organs, accumulated in his throat, and he directly spat it out when he spoke.
"Don't worry, Mista is fine, I just checked."
Although Mista was also lying on the ground, he was just unconscious, and it was unknown how the previous battle went.
However, looking at the car parts shattered into pieces on the ground, Takatsuki knew that Giorno had probably used the Impact Dial to attack Baby Face. Whether it was a direct impact or recoil, the explosive impact had completely disintegrated the car, and Mista, who had become part of the car, had also fainted from the impact.
Fortunately, he wasn't a living organism at that time, so he didn't die, just fell unconscious.
His injuries were mostly from the car parts, as the car's speed caused them to slide forward due to inertia on the ground, and he transformed back into a living organism, being scraped by inertia on the ground.
"You continue healing, I'll guard you and also look for the other guy."
Takatsuki took out Ghiaccio's Disc, looked at Ghiaccio's memories, and found Melone's location within them.
It was quite strange that Melone actually had the same idea as Bucciarati; he chose to take a small boat and slowly row to the station.
"So now, it's fishing time~"
Emitting a slightly joyful sound, Heaven's Stairway appeared beside Takatsuki, and with a flick of its right hand, a fishhook and fishing line instantly flew out, extending towards the sea.
Giorno said nothing upon seeing this, but instead accelerated his self-treatment.
Gold Experience's ability was not originally for healing, but Giorno had developed it to have a similar effect.
Healing his own injuries took over ten minutes. Giorno didn't disturb Takatsuki, who was focused on fishing, and went to continue treating Mista.
Fortunately, Mista, as Takatsuki said, had no serious injuries.
After repairing the superficial wounds, Mista was awakened by the pain.
Giorno's treatment involved literally creating flesh and blood to fill in missing areas, a process that was naturally very painful.
"Ahhh! Gently, Giorno!"
Mista screamed on the ground.
"I can't. That's just how healing is."
Without looking at the passionate scene on the other side, Takatsuki began to reel in the fishing line.
Relying on Beach Boy's life detection, Takatsuki found Melone, who was secretly rowing a small boat without making a sound. It was truly hard on him, rowing across the sea without even turning on the lights.
So Melone didn't even notice the fishhook coming from the dark and was directly hit by White Snake's ability attached to the fishhook, extracting his Disc. His unconscious body was then thrown into the sea, and two Discs were hooked back.
However, Takatsuki didn't want the Baby Face Stand; after all, in his opinion, this Stand was quite disgusting.
As for children, he could just have his own, at most a Ai.
This Baby Face, he would rather not.
But it was a Stand after all, so Takatsuki still put it away, thinking it might be useful someday in the future.
Although he no longer had the Collector skill, Takatsuki still had something akin to a collecting addiction.
Or rather, it was a tradition of the Rabbit family.
Hoarding supplies...
"Fugo, did you resolve it?"
Giorno had also finished treating Mista by then.
"I'm sorry, Fugo, Giorno, I was ambushed by the enemy and didn't even notice, even though I knew the enemy's ability."
Mista was also a bit embarrassed.
He always prided himself on being vigilant, yet he couldn't even issue a warning when ambushed.
"It's okay, the enemy's ability was quite tricky, and we didn't know when the enemy had infiltrated the car."
Actually, he did know. Takatsuki had seen it in Ghiaccio's memories: they had directly ambushed at the entrance of the bridge, disguised as part of the ground. When the car drove past, Baby Face directly integrated with him into the car, becoming part of the car.
"Alright, we've wasted a lot of time. Bucciarati and the others are probably almost here. Let's go to the station quickly."
Now that the car was gone, they had to walk over a kilometer.
"No need to rush. I just gained a new ability, so let's try it out."
After Takatsuki finished speaking, Heaven's Stairway appeared beside him. He walked to the bridge railing with Heaven's Stairway and looked at the distant station below.
"Giorno, make two skateboards! I'm going ahead!"
Saying that, Takatsuki directly jumped off the bridge.
Giorno and Mista ran over in shock and saw Takatsuki sliding down a path made of ice blocks like a slide.
"This is fun, Giorno, hurry, let's go too."
Giorno nodded, but he and Mista didn't have Takatsuki's ability to ignore the cold. He directly used his ability to create two smooth wooden boards, like skateboards, and the two slid down this icy path towards the station.
