"If that's the case!"
Diavolo didn't know why this enemy, presumably Fugo, could move freely in his world.
But…
"This ability, it's my King Crimson's ability! You little scumbag from who knows where want to use it too!"
Diavolo's face was twisted in a grotesque manner, and King Crimson's ugly face also contorted.
"Time! Begin carving again!"
After passing through a wall of the material plane, Diavolo immediately canceled his ability, allowing the influence of the material plane to return, blocking Takatsuki on the other side.
But the next moment, he saw the surrounding world begin to crumble again.
He was no stranger to this sight.
Because this was his ability!
The characteristic after time deletion!
"Nani!!!! Why! Do you have the same ability as my King Crimson!"
Diavolo's eyes widened, his face filled with terror.
"You can't escape, Diavolo!"
"Nani!!!!"
Takatsuki and Heaven's Stairway quickly rushed towards Diavolo. To be honest, if it weren't for the lack of mirrors in this underground area, he would have dragged Diavolo into the mirror world long ago.
But even so, Diavolo couldn't escape his grasp.
Diavolo's body was very strong, which was a major asset for him, but no matter how strong, it was still within the realm of ordinary people.
Although Diavolo's body was stronger than Fugo's, the current Fugo, or rather Takatsuki, was a Hamon Warrior who had mastered Hamon, and a Hamon Warrior's body was much stronger than an ordinary person's.
This was not just physical strength; the Hamon flowing within his body could continuously provide abundant stamina.
"Don't even think about escaping, Diavolo!"
As if giving up, Diavolo no longer relied on Time Erase to escape, but instead began playing hide-and-seek with Takatsuki on this basement floor.
But the complex stone pillars were meaningless to Takatsuki.
Heaven's Stairway swung its arm, and a fishhook shot straight through the stone pillar, hooking towards Diavolo.
But unexpectedly, Diavolo not only didn't escape but revealed a strange smile.
"I was waiting for this move."
Beach Boy's fishhook wasn't very fast; King Crimson grabbed the hook and fishing line with one hand.
But even grabbing it was meaningless, because both the fishhook and the fishing line were indestructible.
Takatsuki knew this, so he didn't care about being caught.
If Diavolo was trying to do what Ghiaccio did, then there would only be one outcome: the same fate as Ghiaccio.
"Your Stand ability, let me make good use of it."
Takatsuki hadn't yet understood Diavolo's meaning when King Crimson moved instantly, rapidly wrapping the fishing line in its hand around something.
Did he think this could restrain Beach Boy?
For inorganic matter, Beach Boy could pass directly through it without any obstruction, so trying to use obstacles to restrain Beach Boy was impossible.
Even if it was entangled like this, just a strong pull…
Hmm?
The expected sensation of pulling out the fishing line didn't come; instead, it felt like it had wrapped around something.
No, it shouldn't be called a thing.
A person? Or a Stand?
It was something that Beach Boy's fishing line couldn't pass through.
Heaven's Stairway pulled hard, and a humanoid object was dragged out of the darkness like a trophy caught by a fisherman.
"What is this!?"
Takatsuki's eyes widened as he looked at the thing pulled out in front of him.
The thing in front of him, yes, it could only be called a 'thing,' looked like a zombie.
It was tightly constricted by Beach Boy's fishing line, and the line did not pass through its body, which proved that these guys were not ordinary corpses.
"Uwa!"
As if stimulated, the zombie constricted by the fishing line suddenly lunged towards Takatsuki.
But before it could get close, Heaven's Stairway punched it flying.
But this was not the end.
At some unknown point, many such zombies suddenly appeared around them.
"Suddenly appearing, could it be, a Stand ability!?"
Takatsuki looked in Diavolo's direction, and the latter had already fled into the distance when he sent the zombie flying, with no intention of stopping.
And for some reason.
These zombies only targeted him, completely ignoring Diavolo.
"No wonder he had us meet on this island; it turns out he had such a trump card hidden."
This island was surrounded by the sea on all sides. Takatsuki had always found it strange when he watched the anime that Diavolo had them escort Trish here.
If it wasn't the Bucciarati Squad who had gotten the Disc at that time, but the Assassination Squad, how would Diavolo have escaped?
Swimming away with Time Erase activated?
Now it seemed he had already set up an ambush on this island, likely a member of the Royal Guard.
However…
"Do you think this can get rid of me?"
These zombies, born from a Stand ability, were not afraid of Hamon. Takatsuki had no intention of getting entangled with them and directly pulled out his phone from his pocket.
Using the reflection on the screen, Takatsuki disappeared from his spot, entering the mirror world, and the zombies, having lost their target, stood Standing there motionless.
"Sure enough, these guys aren't dead things, but products of a Stand."
Looking at the empty mirror world.
Under normal circumstances, no living things or Stand abilities exist in this world.
So those zombies were isolated outside.
"Let's go up first; I don't know where Diavolo escaped to, and what kind of Stand this is."
If possible, Takatsuki still wanted to pull Diavolo into the mirror world.
But when he made his way up to the first floor, he realized he might be in big trouble.
"What is this!!"
Takatsuki's eyes widened as he saw the surrounding island completely transformed into a different appearance.
"These walls, are they also a Stand ability!? No, why can a Stand ability affect the mirror world?"
Saying that, Takatsuki had Heaven's Stairway swing its fist, attempting to shatter the wall in front of him, but the result was that it didn't budge.
"?!"
With a thought, Heaven's Stairway immediately stepped forward and began a barrage of punches against the wall in front of him.
But no matter how long he punched, the wall remained perfectly intact.
"No way, Star Platinum can break diamonds, but my Heaven's Stairway can't break a wall?"
Clearly, the wall in front of him was the product of a Stand, and it even had the concept of being indestructible, like the fishhook.
"Since it can't be destroyed…"
Heaven's Stairway pushed off the ground, intending to jump into mid-air, but just as it reached the height of the wall, it was directly pushed down as if it had hit something.
"Is there a ceiling above this?"
Not only the walls in front of him, but even the sky was sealed off.
"What kind of Stand ability is this?"
