"Wait a minute, can you describe in more detail what exactly happened in the prison?" Polnareff seemed to have grasped something. "The key is what that priest did. Think carefully, considering the contents of your notes!"

After thinking for a moment, Lu Ye stated the six conditions for "going to heaven".

To be honest, Lu Ye had almost memorized the first few conditions, but he had no understanding of the content.

Polnareff analyzed carefully: "The first one is manageable; the Stand's spiritual power can evolve. The second is a trustworthy friend; that priest named Pucci should be Dio's friend, right? The third is thirty-six heinous souls; if what you said about the plants growing inside is true, then the prison's punishment cells perfectly meet that requirement. The fourth is fourteen coded messages; frankly, I don't know their meaning, but they should be related to Dio. The fifth is the courage to abandon the Stand; Dio has probably already done that. As for the sixth, at 28 degrees 24 minutes North latitude and 80 degrees 36 minutes West longitude, waiting for the next new moon—isn't that Cape Canaveral? The green baby you mentioned was taken away; was that person heading to Cape Canaveral?"

“I don’t know. Father Pucci inserted a disc into her body. Once the disc is inside her, even if Father Pucci dies, the commands written on it will not disappear until they are executed. Who knows, she might go to Cape Canaveral after that person escapes.”

“No, you’re wrong,” Polnareff said. “If Pucci’s DSIC could really directly and effectively manipulate people’s will, then he could easily create a group of assassins for himself. In my opinion, the commands on this disc are very simple, like sending something to a certain place or something like that… It’s like training an ant to walk in a straight line back and forth on a path. It will only achieve the goal of walking in a straight line, rather than achieving a brainwashing-like effect, doing whatever it wants.”

“Wait a minute, if that’s the case,” Lu Ye remembered, “then that guy wasn’t heading in the direction of Cape Canaveral! Where was the priest taking the baby?”

"I don't know, but the priest should have run out of tricks up his sleeve, and the only one connected to this baby is DIO! But he should have been defeated by Jotaro more than 20 years ago! I saw his remains dissipate in the sunlight!"

Lu Ye remained silent.

He considered a terrible possibility.

Dio is probably, really, dead.

But for some reason, like some worthless fragment or something, he came back to life...

Your mom's kiss made Lu Ye break out in a cold sweat. Could it really be true?

Considering the location of the fragments and the geographical location where Dio died, it's not impossible!

Lu Ye was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly took out a brain wrapped in gray mist.

This action startled Polnareff.

What are you doing?

"This is the brain of the guy who escaped with the green baby. I used my Stand ability to extract it. Although it's in my hands now, it's still connected to the original body. In other words, even though I extracted it, it's still functioning normally."

"What if you destroy it..."

“There’s no doubt that guy will die,” Luye said. “I didn’t do it then because I was going to Egypt, the Green Baby was useless to me, and the priest had already been defeated, so I thought it wouldn’t be a big problem to leave it alone… According to Jolyne, Father Pucci had the Green Baby, but he gave it up for some reason. I can’t find any other reason other than that Dio is still alive.”

Lu Ye stared at the brain in his hand.

With just one stab or one shot, Miu Miu would die on the spot, and the green baby would never reach the place Pucci had originally intended for it.

“I can see you’re hesitating. Indeed, killing a complete stranger requires immense resolve.”

"It's not entirely unrelated. Although what that guy did was disgusting, I did 'repay' her properly... But don't get me wrong, of course I could have done it. I'm just feeling a bit emotional. Father Pucci keeps saying he wants to go to heaven, but he's harmed a lot of people. He should go to hell."

Chapter 740 Joseph Joestar and Jing Joestar

As he spoke, Lu Ye was about to make a move.

However, he was stopped by Polnareff.

“It’s not that I couldn’t bear it, it’s just that it’s too late. Several days have already passed. If it weren’t for the fact that his mode of transportation was always involved in various accidents and explosions, he probably would have arrived in Egypt long ago.”

"So, do you want me to give up on this possibility?"

“Instead of doing useless work, we should hurry up and confirm whether DIO is really still alive,” Polnareff said. “Although I don’t know what you’re looking for, if it’s important, you probably can’t stay out of it. As a vampire who has lived for hundreds of years, DIO has a lot of collections all over the world.”

"So what's your opinion?"

“The Joestar bloodline has a connection,” Polnareff said solemnly. “Jotaro’s grandfather Joseph sensed DIO and came to Japan because of that; Jolyne Kujo did not take advantage of the opportunity Jotaro created with his DISC to escape because her bloodline told her that Jotaro could still be saved.”

"And DIO...! He possessed the body of Jotaro's grandfather, Jonathan Joestar, so he also has the blood of the Joestar family flowing through his veins. It is because of this that when DIO awakened his Stand through the power of the 'Arrow,' Jotaro, Joseph, and Jotaro's mother also awakened their Stands."

"You mean... if DIO is still alive, then people with Joestar blood can sense it?"

“Yes, and the stronger the bloodline, the more they can sense it, like DIO’s descendants or Jonathan’s offspring,” Polnareff said. “Now I understand why Giorno sent me here. He’s been a bit uneasy lately, probably because of DIO!”

“Then I should go back to Jolyne now. If what you’re saying is true, she should be able to sense DIO’s location.”

“She’s the youngest in the Joestar family,” Polnareff said. “Go find Joseph Joestar. Using his Stand ability, we should be able to find out about DIO and his location. If he’s still alive, then we’re in big trouble. Father Pucci has already fulfilled the conditions you mentioned for going to Heaven. That green baby was the result of a series of events, and DIO has most likely already obtained the Devil Fruit!”

"Then let's not delay any longer, let's go now... By the way, do you know the location?"

"Of course, Joseph is a well-known real estate tycoon in the United States. Haven't you heard of 'Jostar Realty'? At the same time, he is also the heir to SPW, which is the Speedwagon Group."

"They're so rich..."

Lu Ye had seen the name SPW Group in the newspaper when he was on a plane. They started in the oil business and have now become a financial giant in the United States, even capable of tipping the scales of the American economy.

But there's a problem.

The old energy industry, represented by American oil giants, is the backbone of the entire United States, and in some ways more powerful than the president; it is essentially the pinnacle of human power.

Yet, even with such a powerful conglomerate, Jolyne couldn't be gotten out of prison.

However, considering Jotaro's previous behavior, Lu Ye quickly understood.

Although on the surface Jotaro could use the power of the conglomerate to get Jolyne out of prison, objectively speaking, this was not feasible, or rather, it was dangerous.

From Jolyne's initial imprisonment to Jotaro's journey from Africa to America, although Lu Ye only met Jotaro twice, he could still imagine the inner thoughts of this seemingly cold and cool man.

Upon receiving the call, I understood the apparent cause of the matter.

Oh my god, Jolyne's boyfriend really deserves a good beating.

I received a call informing me that my daughter had already been sentenced.

Well, Jolyne's lawyer really deserves a good beating.

I received a call informing me that my daughter had been imprisoned.

Well, Jolyne's judge really deserves a good beating.

Ok?

Something's not right!

Let's investigate further...

Hey!

The real culprit is that damned remnant of DIO!

Jolyne! Your father has come to save you!

Why can't the SPW Foundation bail out its members?

Because it takes time and effort, even though money can do a lot, there are still procedures that are absolutely necessary. Anyone who understands this knows this.

Jolyne's imprisonment and conviction were incredibly swift, mainly because Jolyne's lawyer was extremely cunning. He used the "judicial transaction" rule to get Jolyne to plead guilty in the shortest possible time. Before the SPW Foundation could even start making its capital adjustments, Jolyne was already behind bars.

If that's all there is to it, Jolyne can still be rescued. After all, in the evil capitalist country, money can make the world go round.

However, the lawyer, and indeed the entire matter, was investigated by the SPW Foundation.

A typical lawyer would provide a favorable defense for their client, but Jolyne was framed by her own lawyer and imprisoned. While the corporation investigated the prison, they cooperated with Jotaro to investigate the car accident scene, peeling back the layers and finally uncovering a conspiracy.

The only person Jotaro and the SPW Foundation could find in a short time was John Gerry A., a remnant of DIO who orchestrated Jolyne's imprisonment. Jotaro then mistakenly believed that Gerry was after his bloodline for revenge.

No one knows how many DIO remnants are still in this prison, or how much danger they pose, and they want to harm Jolyne, who doesn't have a Stand!

This is something that money can't solve.

So Jotaro contacted Jolyne's mother and sent the charm to Jolyne, so that she could protect herself first, and then planned a forced prison break to get Jolyne out of prison as quickly as possible.

Lu Ye, who had read Jotaro's memories, knew that Jotaro had seen too many Stand users and experienced too many battles in his life, and that many Stands could kill people in an instant.

In this situation, he simply couldn't wait.

The SPW Foundation's support was indispensable in the escape process, including gathering intelligence on this aquarium prison where no one had ever escaped before, arranging submarines, exploring the internal structure of the Green Dolphin Prison, and planning the best route to escape.

However, Father Pucci remained hidden beneath the surface, like a lurking viper, waiting for Jotaro Kujo to arrive.

Jotaro was indeed not fully prepared and had not thoroughly investigated everything, but time was running out.

However, out of curiosity, Lu Ye still asked, "Wait a minute, Mr. Polnareff, since you said that you and Jotaro have been investigating the whereabouts of the arrow, what did you do with the arrow you obtained?"

“Research,” Polnareff said. “The SPW Foundation has an organization that specializes in researching supernatural phenomena. Now that you are a Stand user, you should know how powerful it is. The more powerful the Stand, the greater its impact on the world.”

"However, the terror of a weapon lies not in the weapon itself, but in the person who wields it. You should understand this. You think there are quite a few Stand users because Stand users are attracted to each other; it's almost like a law."

"I see. So the SPW Foundation doesn't have any 'Stand User Legion' or anything like that?"

"Isn't that obvious? Nobody would risk their life like that. Collecting arrows can stop the Stand users from expanding and reduce unnecessary casualties. Getting hurt by them would most likely be fatal. They've already started shooting arrows everywhere; once it happens, it'll happen countless times."

…………

Afterwards, Luye asked Jolyne, but she didn't know Joseph's address either.

This made Lu Ye sigh that family ties do indeed weaken when people are far apart.

Jolyne may not have even seen Joseph much.

Fortunately, Jolyne had the SPW Foundation's contact number when she gave Jotaro's memory disc.

Through this phone call, Lu Ye contacted the SPW Foundation. After Polnareff's explanation and Jolyne's verification, the other party finally agreed to the meeting.

That very night, Lu Ye canceled his plane ticket, and the next day he took Polnareff to the designated location, Long Island, New York.

From the early 20th century to the 1930s, the seascape of Long Island's North Shore was favored by New York's elite. It is adjacent to New York City, with its western boundary bordering Queens, New York City, and only 20 miles from Manhattan, the world's busiest and most prosperous commercial and financial center.

Long Island boasts exceptional natural conditions, with a stunning ocean view, a towering coastal lighthouse, beautiful sandy beaches, wineries, quaint historic towns, and numerous castles and mansions.

Vast stretches of prime beaches were bought up by prominent East Coast families and businessmen who spared no expense in hiring the best and most influential architects and landscape designers to build luxurious mansions and gardens.

Upon arriving at a seaside villa, Lu Ye and Polnareff were greeted by a girl who appeared to be in her early teens. She had delicate, well-defined features, long black hair that reached her waist, and bright eyes that sparkled with curiosity.

"Wait a minute, why is there only one person? Wasn't there supposed to be a Frenchman named Polnareff?"

"To be precise, it's a tortoise now."

Lu Ye showed off the Polnareff in his hand.

Jing touched it curiously: "How can you prove it?"

"If it were me at twenty, I'd be too ashamed to show my face if a kid touched me like that," Polnareff sighed.

"So you can talk!"

"What? I remember I already explained the situation. Didn't the SPW Foundation tell you?"

"Hahaha, how could that be? I already knew! I just wanted to tease you guys! My name is Jing. I heard about this from the guys from the SPW Group. You're the ones who want to see Dad, right?"

"Dad?"
