Why not look in downtown Tokyo? Because it's too much trouble.
The yakuza groups in Tokyo are often very large and have formed a top-down system.
Qin Chuan was looking for underworld leaders, and these leaders mostly didn't frequent places like bars; only some bouncers would be stationed there.
Even if Qin Chuan went to their door, most of the guards probably wouldn't have the ability to call over the underworld boss.
In comparison, the yakuza in Shimokitazawa are smaller in scale, and the yakuza leaders only manage a few areas. Basically, if you go to their door, it's easy to summon their leaders.
In an underground bar in Shimokitazawa, neon lights began to flash, and people started dancing in the center of the dance floor.
As night approaches, these places that are closed during the day are gradually becoming lively.
In a few hours, this place will probably be packed with people and blaring loud music.
Bang.
The door opened, and the idlers in the bar turned their heads to look, only to find that a high school student with his hands in his pockets had walked in.
The newcomer was Qin Chuan. After entering the bar, he began to look around at the surroundings.
"Bars are not places for kids."
A burly man sitting at the bar entrance frowned slightly as Qin Chuan walked in, seemingly unwilling to serve him.
"You should leave now and come back when you're older."
High school students aren't exactly easy to work with, and they're always causing trouble, so the bar's management doesn't really care.
However, Qin Chuan ignored him and, after surveying the situation in the bar, nodded in satisfaction.
"There are so many evil spirits here. Quite a few people must have died here."
That's right. When Qin Chuan scanned the bar's environment, he wasn't just looking at the interior; he was confirming the number of evil spirits inside.
Evil spirits are often formed from the resentment of those who died unjustly, so the number of evil spirits can, to some extent, indicate how many people died tragically in a place.
Clearly, many people had died in this bar, because in Qin Chuan's view, a large number of black evil spirits were lurking there, constantly asking the people in the bar, "Can you see me?"
The burly man standing next to him also had an evil spirit pressed against his ear, but he obviously couldn't see anything.
"Hey kid, here to cause trouble?"
Upon hearing Qin Chuan's frank remarks, the burly man's eyes immediately turned fierce.
Although I didn't understand what he was talking about—evil spirits and such—he pointed out that many people had died in the bar, which was very suspicious.
Many people have indeed died here, as this place was once one of the battlefields for gang warfare in Shimokitazawa, and many people were beaten to death here.
Only those involved in organized crime would know about this, so in his eyes, Qin Chuan suddenly went from an ordinary high school student to someone who was causing trouble.
"You can't."
Qin Chuan didn't answer him, but instead took out an "arrow" from his pocket—the arrow was now just a head, and Qin Chuan removed the shaft for easy carrying.
In any case, the arrow shaft is mainly for making it easier to shoot arrows, but Qin Chuan uses his own strength to launch the arrowhead, which is much more effective than shooting arrows. There is nothing that cannot be cut.
The arrow remained motionless in Qin Chuan's palm, not automatically pointing at the burly man in front of him.
In other words, from the perspective of this arrow, which possesses the ability to judge Stand potential, this burly man does not have Stand potential.
Chapter Sixty-Eight: Creating Stand Users in the Real World
This arrow, which originally belonged to Yoshihiro Kira, possesses the ability to guide the potential of Stands.
If the target has the potential to become a Stand user, this arrow will act like a compass, actively aligning itself with the target.
In the original JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 4, Yoshihiro Kira used this arrow to automatically search for qualified individuals and continuously create Stand users, causing a lot of trouble for the main characters.
So far, only Kira Yoshihiro's arrow possesses this ability to confirm a Stand's qualifications; the other arrows have not demonstrated this ability.
So Qin Chuan was quite glad that the arrow he intercepted was Kira Yoshihiro's; if it had been any other arrow, it might not have been so convenient.
"Kid, you're asking for it, aren't you?"
The burly man was naturally unaware of the Stand user's existence. When he heard Qin Chuan say something that sounded like contempt to him, he immediately became furious.
As a member of the underworld, he was certainly not someone to be trifled with. Although he wouldn't actually kill anyone to avoid trouble, teaching this kid a lesson was still no problem.
Facing the motionless Qin Chuan, he stretched out his strong hand, ready to grab Qin Chuan's head and throw him away.
However, as soon as he reached out, he felt another tremendous force grip his wrist, preventing him from moving forward even an inch.
"What...what's going on? What grabbed me!?"
The burly man's expression changed; he felt that no matter how hard he struggled, he could not break free from the immense force that had appeared out of nowhere.
If a Stand user were present, they would see that behind Qin Chuan, Blackbird had already reached out and grabbed the burly man's outstretched wrist.
Having already completed the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure world, Qin Chuan has brought out Blackbird at 100% power, so Blackbird now possesses the same strength as Qin Chuan's body.
Even without using the abilities of the Stands he devoured, he wouldn't fear anyone in this world with just this power.
"All the Stand users in the original work have successfully awakened. I have never seen what a Stand user who failed to awaken looks like."
Qin Chuan twirled the arrow in his hand, and then, under the horrified gaze of the burly man, flicked it lightly.
puff!
The black and gold arrow flew from Qin Chuan's fingertips in an instant, piercing the strong man's neck as easily as piercing tofu, and blood gushed out.
“Gah…”
The burly man let out a painful groan and collapsed to the ground, splattering blood everywhere, instantly attracting the attention of the few people in the bar.
“Ahhhh——!!!”
Several people who were clearly customers screamed when they saw this and then rushed towards the bar's entrance.
Qin Chuan didn't pay them any attention, but when he saw several people who were clearly bar staff trying to escape, he swiftly stepped in front of them.
"Don't leave yet, I'll need you to contact someone for me later."
The bar staff only saw a flash before their eyes, and Qin Chuan's figure appeared in front of them, instantly scaring them out of their wits.
As staff members of this underworld stronghold bar, they had seen their share of big events; several of them had even witnessed gangland brawls firsthand.
But the kind of fights that result in death are still within their comprehension; Qin Chuan's actions and speed are beyond their understanding.
"Ugh... Ahh!"
The burly man lying on the ground was still struggling, but soon he gradually stopped moving—but Qin Chuan was constantly sensing with his "qi", so he noticed something unusual.
boom!
The next moment, the burly man's body suddenly exploded like dynamite, and at that instant, Qin Chuan also moved.
"Blackbird World!"
Time seemed to freeze instantly. Qin Chuan flashed forward and pulled the arrow, which hadn't yet been affected by the blast wave, from the burly man's exploding body.
"Then time started to flow."
Immediately afterwards, Qin Chuan lifted the time stop, and the burly man's body continued to explode, shattering within the bar.
The arrowhead had fallen intact into Qin Chuan's hands.
This arrow doesn't have any immunity to damage. In JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 5, Diavolo's arrow was shattered by his subordinate Polpo when he was "forced to commit suicide" with a pistol.
"What happened? Why did Erlang suddenly explode?!"
"Was he hit by a bomb?!"
Several bar staff members were terrified, looking at Qin Chuan with fear, suspecting that Qin Chuan had just planted a bomb on the burly man.
Qin Chuan ignored their gazes and instead looked thoughtfully at the spot where the burly man had exploded.
In Part 5, Polnareff explained that these arrows carried extraterrestrial viruses, which were part of the process for awakening Stands. He also mentioned the fate of some researchers who accidentally came into contact with the virus.
Those researchers who came into contact with the virus did not awaken their Stands alive; instead, they were corrupted and died by the virus—but before they died, they were struck by lightning and flames.
In other words, even a dead person can momentarily exhibit something similar to a Stand ability.
If this burly man could awaken his Stand alive, then the Stand's ability might be related to explosions—but he didn't have the Stand aptitude, so he exploded, leaving no trace of his body.
Having seen what the people who failed to awaken their Stands looked like, Qin Chuan was satisfied. He also used an arrow to test the Stand qualifications of these bar staff members.
Unfortunately, none of these people are qualified to be stunt doubles.
"You guys are involved in organized crime, aren't you?"
Putting the arrow away, Qin Chuan looked at the bar staff and asked.
Hearing Qin Chuan's question, they looked at each other in bewilderment—No, brother, you barged in, blew someone up without saying a word, and then you didn't even know if we were gangsters?
Although they really wanted to complain, they didn't dare to offend Qin Chuan, so they nodded.
"Calling your boss over shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Qin Chuan moved a chair and sat down, then casually picked up a metal cocktail glass next to him and gently squeezed it.
The cup instantly turned into a ball of iron.
—Now who dares to say there's a problem?
The staff nodded hurriedly, deciding to save their own lives first, regardless of how their boss would handle the matter.
Qin Chuan didn't care as he watched the bar staff members go to contact the person.
It's normal that there are few people with Stand potential. Even if he wanted to recruit more people to develop his own power, he couldn't turn everyone into a Stand user.
A few Stand users are enough. As the power grows and the number of people it comes into contact with increases, it will eventually find more people with Stand aptitude.
As long as this arrow exists, and a superior Stand user can be created, then the development of the power will not be hindered.
Actually, Qin Chuan could start from scratch if he wanted, but that would be too slow a start. It would be more suitable to just pick a criminal organization as a starting point.
Chapter Sixty-Nine: It's a pity it wasn't that Kiryu.
"So you're the one who said you were looking for me?"
Qin Chuan didn't have to wait long. About half an hour later, a middle-aged man with a sharp demeanor pushed open the bar door and walked in.
Of course, as a gangster, he naturally had a group of people following him around.
As soon as they entered the bar, these people swarmed around Qin Chuan and surrounded him, leaving only the middle-aged man in the middle staring at Qin Chuan.
Through his perception of "qi," Qin Chuan could also sense that someone behind him was making a reaching motion, probably reaching for a gun.
"Yes, it was me looking for you. What's your name?"
Qin Chuan remained seated in his chair, maintaining his previous posture, and asked the middle-aged man in a calm tone, seemingly unconcerned about the large number of people surrounding him.
Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man frowned, instinctively sensing that something was amiss—Qin Chuan looked like just a high school student, so what gave him the confidence to remain unfazed in front of so many people?
Unable to ascertain Qin Chuan's background, the middle-aged man paused for a moment before answering Qin Chuan's question:
"Everyone in the underworld calls me Kiryu. And you? Who are you?"
"Kiryu? You wouldn't happen to be called Kiryu Kazuma, would you?"
Upon suddenly hearing a familiar surname, Qin Chuan paused for a moment, then subconsciously asked a question.
This surname reminded him of another guy, who was also involved in organized crime.
"Who is that?"
Unfortunately, Qin Chuan's question did not receive the desired answer. The man who called himself Kiryu paused for a moment, seemingly not recognizing the name Qin Chuan had mentioned.
"...That's true, you and he don't look very alike, so it seems to be just a coincidence."
Seeing that this guy didn't seem to be lying, Qin Chuan sighed. It seemed that it was just a mysterious coincidence after all.
After this little incident, Qin Chuan was no longer in the mood for small talk and went straight to the point.
"Kiryu, to put it simply, I want you to do things for me."
"...?"
Kiryu looked puzzled, then glanced at the reactions of his underlings.
Their reactions were similar to Kiryu's; they were all stunned by Qin Chuan's words.
It's no wonder they reacted this way. An unarmed high school student came to the bar to cause trouble, called over the boss behind him, and made him do things for him without saying a word.
