Great, we're doomed now!

"Cockroaches? How could that be? We always carry out pest control on international flights... and this armrest..."

Could these people have brought weapons onto the plane?

The flight attendant, looking troubled, advised, "I will report this to the company. If there's anything wrong with how it was handled, someone will contact the guests to discuss it later... Can you sit down now? I can help you adjust your seats."

"No, right here..."

Polnareff felt a chill run down his spine. Without thinking, he grabbed the flight attendant's hand and yanked her hard, shoving her onto an empty seat. At the same time, he turned sideways, spreading his arms and using his supple waist muscles to support his entire weight.

"Silver Chariot!"

Metal Knight appeared out of the void, thrusting out a rapier.

At the same time, a dark light shot out from under Polnareff's feet, tilted at a seventy-degree angle, and just grazed Polnareff's jaw. If he hadn't dodged in time, he would probably have been pierced through the skull by now.

But the silver chariot was already waiting on the enemy's path, its rapier swift and precise, striking right in the face!

"Yaaaaaah!!!"

Amidst a piercing scream that nearly shattered eardrums, everyone saw the stunt double's appearance for the first time.

Its body was only the size of a fist, its hideous face, resembling a primitive tribal mask, deeply distorted and terrifying as a rapier was driven into it from top to bottom. There was no body in the conventional sense, only a sphere covered in dense hair and thick arms extending from either side.

...It feels like a Pokémon that hasn't been given a cuteness patch.

Surprisingly, despite being hit head-on by Bobo, the guy wasn't cut in two. The rapier pierced his body with visible force, yet not a drop of blood spurted out. His incredibly resilient body simply stretched backward with the attack, almost forming a straight line, while Silver War's rapier was bent into a breathtaking arc.

Boom!

The ugly sphere was launched with great force, hitting the ground with a dull thud before disappearing again in the blink of an eye.

"impossible!"

Bobo stared in astonishment at the rapier: "I definitely hit it, but I had absolutely no feel for it. It was like trying to cut rubber with a stick!"

"The enemy has a double that can hide its body, but the plane is currently at an altitude of 10,000 meters. Considering the range, the enemy's real body must also be on the plane!"

Joseph swept his gaze across the cabin with a stern expression: "Everyone, stay still! Otherwise, I cannot guarantee your safety!"

"Wow!"

"save……"

"Quickly lower your head!"

God bless France!

Hijacking?

The thought of this was immediately shattered, and the first-class passengers were gripped by fear. The flight attendants huddled trembling in their seats.

In the 1980s, terrorism was already commonplace in Europe. France, in particular, was a favorite target of terrorists due to its stance on the Middle East and its forceful intervention in the situations in Lebanon and Africa, resulting in frequent bomb attacks.

When Joseph and Polnareff suddenly started destroying the seats and striking strange poses while shouting, an indistinct spherical object bounced around inside the cabin. To the passengers, there seemed to be no other possibility (this Stand could be seen by ordinary people when it was assimilating matter).

"No, everyone, don't misunderstand. There's a very dangerous guy lurking on the plane. We are—"

Then there was another muffled thud. The man in plain clothes sitting in the corner, who was about to attack Joseph, was knocked to the ground and fell unconscious.

Er Qiao turned around and saw that it was Ye Shou who had swiftly and cleanly knocked out the plane's security officer. She looked up innocently and asked, "What happened?"

"...Okay, we were the hijackers."

Two Joe gave up directly—ordinary people can't see their three stunt doubles, and even if they do, it's hard to explain. For a role like a safety officer, taking them down directly is actually a form of protection.

"Everyone can start screaming, taking deep breaths, and going hysterical now, but please do not damage the machine."

"..."

"Alright, it seems everyone is calm, so I won't have to say anything more." Er Qiao nodded in satisfaction.

Perhaps the people in first class were more afraid of death, after all, they were at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and the slightest mistake could lead to the tragic end of everyone being killed, so no one moved rashly, only a few people couldn't help but sob and pray for divine protection.

Joe tried to reassure them: "Don't worry, we'll release you after we convey our demands to the French government. Just don't make any trouble, and you'll be fine—"

[Beep... Dear passengers, our aircraft just encountered strong convective air pressure, causing severe shaking and an unpleasant experience. We apologize for the inconvenience.]

"Ok?"

The sudden announcement silenced all the passengers, including Ye Shou, as if this distraction would ease the tension in the cabin.

Everything is working properly, so please don't worry.

By the way, does anyone know how to fly a plane?

"Ahhhh!"

"Oh, oh, oh!"

"God!"

"mom!"

The passengers started screaming, taking deep breaths, and becoming hysterical!

...Amidst the chaos, the three men's hearing was filled with various noises, and they failed to notice that a "bulge" gradually drooped down from the upper part of the cabin, eventually revealing a demonic face, raising its arms to transform into sharp knives and charging down at Joseph.

Compared to the agile Polnareff and the unknown Stand information of Yagami, Joseph, who is old and whose Stand ability is useless, is the easiest to deal with!

Moreover, as long as we kill him, Lord Dio's hiding place can be kept secret forever!

"That's what you're thinking, isn't it?"

Joseph suddenly raised his head, and thorny vines emerged from his arm, like Dr. Jones's whip, accurately grabbing the stand-in. A series of electric-like ripples surged, binding it tightly!

"Ya ya ya ya!"

"That's really jarring!"

Joseph smirked: "Your next question will be—'How did you know where I was!'"

"How does she know where I am?!"

"what!"

Joseph revealed a sly smile, waved his hand a few times, and the [Hermit's Purple] circled around a few more times, while the golden mark on the back of his hand was revealed.

"Just now, when Ye Shou touched me, he not only infused me with ripples, but also with a vast and colorless pure life energy. My [Hermit's Purple] was already linked with his substitute at that moment!"

——【A prosperous country】.

A cyborg humanoid clone appeared beside Ye Shou. Notably, its left hand was entangled in rope-like thorns, while the other end disappeared into the void.

Ye Shou also smiled modestly:

The enhancements to Stands from the Prosperous Country not only directly manifest in their destructive power and speed, but also stimulate their latent abilities. For example, Silver Battle increases its range, while Anubis can directly condense an image to communicate with its master.

【Hermit Purple】 is not a combat-type Stand; as a support, it enhances resilience, range, and "Air Root".

When Virginia creeper climbs on an object, it grows aerial roots every so often to grip the wall and increase its support.

The [Hermit's Purple] can be attached to other objects or humans as an extra node to increase the range!

Interestingly, the Prosperous Country itself possesses the talent to sense life energy, so the thorn vines attached to its hands can also read the location of the surrounding life forms!

Then the question comes:

What would be running around at extremely high speed on this plane where everyone else is relatively stationary?

Cockroaches? Rats?

—He's the enemy's double!

"Your camouflage is indeed perfect, and it's difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. But ultimately, you're not truly one with this aircraft. As long as you possess independent spirit and energy, my [Hermit's Purple] can find you!"

"Joseph Joestar! You really are a threat!"

The ugly stand-in struggled fiercely, its claws, which could easily sever the metal prosthetics, could not cut through the seemingly delicate vines. Instead, they entangled the vines more and more tightly, like a spider web.

"I was right to choose you as my primary target—damn it!"

"Don't waste your time. The ripple energy covering this surface is as smooth as an oil film, concentrated at one point yet incredibly tough. Even a high-pressure water jet can't break through it. Simple cutting won't work!"

A fleeting look of nostalgia crossed Joseph's eyes, but it quickly turned into fierce anger: "You only wanted to assassinate me, but you even dragged Holly and the others into it! You despicable bastards!"

He tossed the captured Stand to Polnareff like a slingshot—

"Now!"

"Silver Chariot!"

Polnareff was extremely calm. A flash of silver light pierced through the darkness, precisely piercing the gaping maw in the blink of an eye!

"Alright! No matter how tough the outer skin is—"

click!

Sparks fly!

The human-head-shaped stand-in actually used its upper and lower rows of teeth to bite the sharp blade!

"Huh? Are this guy's teeth made of diamond?!"

Bobo was taken aback and instinctively reached for his waist, only to find it empty—the god Anubis, being a sharp weapon, could not be carried with him; Ye Shou had used "magic" to hide it in his private space!

"This is bad!"

"ah!"

The human head dummy let out a loud cry and suddenly transformed into a thin steel nail, spinning wildly as it struggled to break through the gaps in the vines. Even the golden ripples couldn't restrain it.

The moment he was freed, the steel nail pierced Polnareff at a tricky angle. It was almost invisible in the dim light, but Polnareff still managed to dodge it with amazing instinct. The steel nail grazed the rapier, sparking a series of sparks, and also pierced through a seat, embedding itself in the bulkhead with undiminished force.

"hateful!"

Silver was about to teach his opponent a lesson after flashing his foil, but Two Joe's warning arrived first—

"Watch your movements, Polunarev! This is an airplane. If the airtightness is compromised, we and the passengers will all be doomed!"

"You mean... how can we fight if we're so restricted? That's impossible!" Bobo said, sounding almost aggrieved.

This Stand can transform into various metal, plastic, and rubber products, making it a seemingly versatile transforming Stand!

Thanks to this, it can be as tough as rubber or as hard as diamond, and its body can freely transform into various weapons, striking you from who-knows-where!

This ability is practically unsolvable in complex and enclosed environments, and you can't use high-powered attacks because you might accidentally damage the machine...

"This...doesn't this Stand become invincible?!"
