JOJO, The Escape from Real Diavolo

Chapter 101 Another Ghostly Encounter

Chen Miaowen had never drunk alcohol and did not like it, because in his mind, alcohol was a very spicy thing.

However, the captain said that this Campari green cocktail tasted and was just as strong as a carbonated drink.

He wanted to give it a try.

"Hey buddy, have a couple of drinks... This cocktail won't get you drunk."

In addition to the captain's recommendation, there was also an old man in the restaurant's drinking area who wasn't wearing sunglasses, drinking alone and beckoning the young man Chen Miaowen to come over for a couple of drinks.

"Boss... does wearing sunglasses mean you're a bad guy, and not wearing sunglasses mean you're a good guy? Could this old man be a Stand user?"

"Try using your stand-in."

Diavolo answered decisively, meaning that Chen Miaowen should use a Stand to test the waters, but not with King Crimson.

"...Alright then."

There was no sunlight below the deck, and the adorable Garuda appeared instantly upon sensing its master's will. It hopped and skipped to the old man, clenching its fist as if to punch him.

"Come on, friend, what are you standing there for? I'm an old man drinking alone, how boring... Please do me a favor since I'm so lonely!"

No matter how much the spider plague caused, the old man simply couldn't see it.

"Why not just kill them? Like you did in the desert... just become a serial killer, wouldn't that solve all the problems?"

"Boss...you're really joking."

Chen Miaowen withdrew his stand-in and slowly walked towards the old man, taking the so-called carbonated beverage.

"Hehe, at least I have a drinking buddy now... Drinking alone is really no fun."

The old man didn't like drinking carbonated beverages, but seeing that Chen Jiuyou was reluctant to drink them, he called the bartender and ordered a glass of greenish-blue liquor.

"Look... I downed it in one gulp, no problem, it's hardly even alcohol."

The alcohol should be fine. The bartender wasn't wearing sunglasses, so it's unlikely he would poison his drink. It's too much of a coincidence.

"Okay, let's give it a try."

One bite and Chen Miaowen vomited.

You're kidding me! It's so hot...

"Haha... It seems you've never drunk alcohol before, my friend... This kind of alcohol isn't even that hot."

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Chen Miaowen decided to leave.

"Well, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Keep this old man company for a chat... It's too boring here."

The old man let out a loud burp and waved his hand, trying to stop Chen from leaving.

He was kept there casually, since Chen Miaowen didn't know where to go anyway. Rather than dealing with those guys in sunglasses, it was easier to talk to a normal old man.

"Come on... friend, I'll tell you some secrets."

"What?"

"Ah, is that so? This ship is so dilapidated because it's often haunted."

"What!?"

......

The ship docked off the coast of India finally started moving again.

Their destination was Naples, but they wouldn't stop there. They would simply give instructions to the noble families there, hand over the bodies, and accept some mild criticism. Finally, they would prepare to use the powers of the Italian royal family to resolve any potential unrest.

The actual final destination was Rome; going to Egypt was just one of the routes the tourist ship took: Naples-Egypt-Rome.

Even after this incident, there were still quite a few nobles among the passengers who escaped from Egypt, because some of the nobles who had been at the banquet had escaped and returned; Joe had not killed them all.

Since there are still passengers who want to continue their journey, the prince must complete the trip.

Moreover, these passengers were incredibly composed. Only ten hours had passed since the great death, yet they were still able to smile and, with composure, lightly tread their high heels and leather shoes as they slowly returned to the deck under the prince's command.

Of course, most of them hid near the ship, and after seeing that there was nothing wrong, they returned to the ship and quietly stayed in a cabin, even faster than when Joe used his power of rules to return.

"Killing these people isn't really a big deal. After all, as an arrow with a high will, I've lived for hundreds of years, and I've found that most of these wealthy people don't value their lives... Who knows how many people they've secretly killed! Don't you think so, Joe?"

"Hmm...heh, killing them wouldn't make me feel any pain..."

Joe remained out in the shadows, observing the first naive passenger in the cabin after he discovered them.

"But... I killed the last person I should have killed..."

"Ah, sorry, I can't bring the dead back to life, no matter what kind of soul you want to sacrifice... Besides, that was your own choice, a choice you didn't think about for long, you wanted him to die."

Joe stopped talking.

"Everyone, you're all aboard, right... let's continue our journey..."

"Oingo, you were chasing that marker too, weren't you?"

"Nonsense, I just can't catch up with you guys, the prince is too fast..."

"Well, actually, the prince and I broke up because of this, but we've made up now..."

"Oh, it has nothing to do with me... After the mark disappeared, I went to visit my brother. It's worth mentioning that the nurses said that during this time, my brother regained some consciousness and opened his eyes. Later, when I regained consciousness, he fell asleep again. I guess it was because of the mark, since the mark was an arrow. So, I went back to the ship, which gave me a reason to continue searching for that..."

"Oh, that has nothing to do with me."

"..."

The passengers chatted amongst themselves, while the prince gave orders to the crew members who had escaped, as if nothing had happened.

"Go to Rome...go on a trip, as an ordinary person."

"But you have to do it quietly."

......

It's rare for Satan to be arguing with his master all the time, in a world where he's asleep in a taxi.

"You want to die, but I don't! Why are you so stubborn?"

"I... I don't want to give up this opportunity! That's an arrow! An arrow that can help me! Without a doubt!"

"What's the use? It's gone! It's already been taken by someone else! Whether it's the Crimson King or the Yellow Stand... you can't have it!"

The three-headed, six-armed creature forgot its identity and began roaring at its host.

Because its owner couldn't tell the situation clearly and still wanted to go that way, it was so stupid that it was almost driving the animal crazy.

"Sigh... When will I ever stop getting frustrated like this?"

As they argued, Yedan suddenly sighed, leaving the angry Satan bewildered. Finally, Satan came to his senses and simply said...

"Master... I'm sorry, but we have to survive now, like insects, and then... then we can deal with those people."

The words were harsh, but they were the truth. Although Yedan felt aggrieved and wanted to retort, he swallowed his anger and remained silent.

"Well... let's go out. Perhaps we should look around this area again, such as the place where the mark first appeared. We might find something unexpected there."
