Unlike Diavolo, whose location is completely unknown, Rohan Kishibe's address will not change, so Qin Chuan can certainly put it aside for now.

……

"The Kira family... It seems that the head of that family went on a trip abroad a long time ago and then disappeared, never to return."

Near the Kira family residence in Morioh... or rather, near what used to be the Kira family's mansion, Qin Chuan learned about the Kira family's situation from an old man in the neighborhood.

"Then their son apparently committed murder, and apparently killed several people, and was sentenced to death."

When talking about the Kira family's fate, the old man seemed somewhat emotional, shaking his head repeatedly as if taking it as a warning.

"So this house was also seized by the authorities. It seems that it was only recently dealt with, and it should be ready for sale soon."

Looking at the mansion where the Kira family's nameplate had been removed, Qin Chuan nodded—it seemed things were going as he had thought, and the timeline of this world was proceeding according to his influence.

The impact you have on this world will directly affect subsequent plot developments. There won't be a situation where you do a lot of things but then it's as if nothing happened when you enter the mission world again.

It seems that nurturing Matou Sakura in advance for the Fourth Holy Grail War was the right choice, since my actions will still affect the development of the world.

Because Yoshikage Kira did not receive the "arrow" from his father, he did not awaken the Stand "Killer Queen" which can destroy evidence, leading to the discovery of the murder case. He has been arrested and sentenced to death.

Of course, given the efficiency of the death penalty in Japan, it's possible that Yoshikage Kira might have died of old age in prison without ever actually being executed.

However, that was none of Qin Chuan's business. Kira Yoshikage, who hadn't awakened his Stand, was of no value to him. Qin Chuan didn't care what kind of treatment he received in prison.

"...Not necessarily. Maybe I can find Yoshikage Kira in prison, forcibly awaken his Stand, and then devour his Killer Queen."

However, just as Qin Chuan was about to leave, a bold idea suddenly popped into his mind.

"Given the Stand qualities that Yoshikage Kira demonstrated in the original work, he was definitely capable of awakening Stand Killer Queen."

Although Kira Yoshikage is no longer involved in the main storyline, it doesn't mean Qin Chuan can't obtain his "Killer Queen" through his own methods, right?

The ability to turn any object into a bomb and detonate it may not sound like a powerful ability, but it actually has a wide range of uses.

If Qin Chuan wanted to destroy something very sturdy, even if that thing couldn't be destroyed by a bomb, it wouldn't matter. Qin Chuan could turn that thing itself into a bomb and then detonate it.

To some extent, the "Killer Queen's" ability to turn any object into a bomb is able to ignore defenses.

You can withstand the damage from a bomb explosion, but what if you yourself are the bomb and get detonated?

I don't know if this trick will work on Frieza... but it's worth a try.

"However, the problem is how to determine which prison Yoshikage Kira is in... When I was looking for Akira Otoshi just now, I didn't seem to find Yoshikage Kira in that prison."

Chapter 137 Conversation with Jotaro Kujo

Compared to Akira Otoshi, Yoshikage Kira's crime was clearly more serious, much more serious.

Because Akira Otoshi used a body double to commit the murder, it was difficult to convict him. He was only imprisoned on charges such as theft.

Because Yoshikage Kira had no stand-in and could not destroy the evidence, his murders were proven to be a serial killing.

Such a serious criminal should naturally be imprisoned in a more secure place—how could Morioh Prison possibly hold such a great man?

After using "Black Bird Red Pepper's" ability to tour the Morioh prison using electric current, Qin Chuan confirmed that Kira Yoshikage was no longer there.

It's ironic that Yoshikage Kira, who in the original work refused to leave Morioh, has now been forcibly transferred to another city by the prison authorities.

Although "Spicy Red Pepper's" abilities cover a very wide range, it's impossible for Qin Chuan to use this method to tour all the prisons in Japan.

Therefore, Qin Chuan naturally thought of asking others to help investigate where Yoshikage Kira was—and the most suitable party for the investigation was, of course, the SPW Foundation.

This conglomerate, which has served the Joestar family for a long time, now has a presence all over the world, providing the Joestar family with financial and intelligence services.

With their capabilities, finding out which prison Kira Yoshikage was being held in was a piece of cake.

However, Qin Chuan is not a member of the Joestar clan, so if he wants SPW to help him with the investigation, he can only ask the Joestar clan to cooperate.

Previously, during the timeline of the third part of the story, Qin Chuan had considered contacting the Joestar clan, but at that time he did not have the contact information for any member of the Joestar clan.

But things are different now. With Spicy Red Pepper's abilities, Blackbird can infiltrate any electric current. Does Qin Chuan still have trouble getting their contact information?

……

Jotaro Kujo is currently in the United States, across the ocean, conducting research on marine life.

By this time, he was no longer as impulsive as he was in high school; instead, he had become much more composed.

However, while carrying out his job, Jotaro Kujo never forgot to investigate clues related to Dio.

More than a decade ago, they went to Egypt to eliminate Dio, but surprisingly, by the time they arrived, Dio had already been taken care of first.

From some of Dior's surviving men, they learned that a young Asian man had killed him, but they knew nothing more.

To this day, Jotaro Kujo still doesn't know who the person who destroyed Dio was.

But that person clearly had no habit of dealing with the aftermath. Dio's men subsequently fled in all directions, causing numerous riots around the world. Jotaro Kujo never gave up on tracking down these guys.

What has been bothering him lately is that Dio's bloodline seems to still exist—Dio's son seems to be in Italy, which makes Jotaro Kujo very concerned.

Hirose Koichi's trip to Italy was at his request—he had some things to do in the United States and couldn't go in person, so he had to ask a friend he trusted to go instead.

"Woof!"

Nearby, a Boston Terrier named Iggy barked, seemingly to tell Jotaro Kujo not to overthink things.

Because Qin Chuan eliminated Dio and Vanilla in advance, Jotaro Kujo and his group did not encounter much danger after arriving in Cairo, and the few people who would have died in the original work also survived.

Originally, as a Boston Terrier, Iggy shouldn't have been able to live this long—but perhaps because of the substitute, Iggy's lifespan is much longer than other Boston Terriers, and he is still very active now.

But just then, the phone next to him suddenly rang, interrupting Jotaro Kujo's thoughts.

Seeing this, Iggy, who was standing nearby, also shut his mouth. He was a very intelligent dog and knew not to bark when Jotaro Kujo was talking to others.

"Hello, this is Jotaro Kujo. How can I help you?"

Jotaro Kujo picked up the phone with practiced ease and spoke calmly in his usual manner.

"Hello, Jotaro Kujo. I won't say my name, I guess you don't really care—I need you to help me find out where someone is right now."

Qin Chuan's voice came through the receiver—to Jotaro Kujo, it sounded like the voice of a strange young man.

"The person I'm looking for is Yoshikage Kira. He used to live in Morioh, but he was arrested as a serial killer and is no longer in the Morioh jail... I want to know where he's being held and whether he's been executed."

"who are you?"

Jotaro Kujo frowned upon hearing this, certain that he had never heard Qin Chuan's voice before.

"What's your reason for helping me find someone?"

"More than a decade ago, due to the influence of Dio's bloodline awakening his Stand, your mother also awakened her Stand, but because she couldn't control it, she was in mortal danger, right?"

Qin Chuan was certain that Jotaro Kujo would help, because Jotaro Kujo was, after all, a person with the "Golden Spirit," and it was certain that he would repay kindness.

"I took care of Dio, which also saved your mother, so I'm your benefactor, right? It's not hard to do a small favor for your benefactor, is it?"

"what are you?"

Jotaro Kujo's expression changed instantly—he had been searching for all these years to find out who killed Dio, but he never expected that the other party would actually contact him.

Iggy, who was standing nearby, also heard the conversation coming through the microphone, and it instinctively straightened its body.

"...I understand. I'll help you investigate. Wait a moment, I should be able to get back to you soon."

Jotaro Kujo was silent for a moment, but then agreed.

He did not doubt the truthfulness of what Qin Chuan said, because almost all the people who knew that Dio was killed by a young Asian man were the same few people from the previous trip to Egypt.

"But where are you now? Can you tell me?"

"I'm in Morioh, but only for today. After today, I'll probably go somewhere else."

Qin Chuan didn't hide anything and said.

"Who knows, we might have a chance to meet again in the future."

The reason for saying this is that if this main quest is completed, the main quest for the sixth installment might be unlocked.

Jotaro Kujo has a significant role in Part 6, so there's actually a chance they'll meet.

Of course, if Qin Chuan wanted, he could also have Blackbird meet Jotaro Kujo via telephone now.

However, this kind of thing is meaningless, and Qin Chuan doesn't need Jotaro Kujo's Stand ability.

Jotaro Kujo's Stand, "Star Platinum," is similar to Dio's "The World," sharing the same powerful stats and the ability to stop time.

Having already acquired the power of "The World," he no longer needs to consume another Stand with the same power.

Although readers often joke that Star Platinum's true ability is to copy "worlds," in reality, Star Platinum's ability to stop time was predetermined.

So even without fighting Dio's "world," Jotaro Kujo would definitely have discovered the ability to stop time over the years.

This can be seen from Akira Otoishi's reaction—if he didn't have the ability to stop time, he wouldn't have been so afraid of Jotaro Kujo's "Star Platinum."

Chapter 138 Blackbird - Assassin Queen

Yoshikage Kira was sitting alone in the prison, expressionless, with a stubble beard and wearing a wrinkled prison uniform.

His nails had grown very long—in fact, he had just trimmed them two days ago, but in just two days they had grown to this length.

Even the prison guards were amazed, wondering why Yoshikage Kira's fingernails grew so fast.

Only Yoshikage Kira himself knew that the growth rate of his fingernails was directly proportional to his murderous desires—the more he wanted to kill, the faster his fingernails would grow.

Previously, Yoshikage Kira used his nail growth cycle to decide whether or not to kill someone. Whenever his nails grew to a certain length, he would kill a woman.

Then he would take the woman's hand home, cut his own long nails, and wait for them to grow back, repeating this process.

Following this habit, Yoshikage Kira had already killed several people, but after years of incompetence, the Japanese police finally found a clue as evidence and arrested him.

Without the help of a stand-in, "Killer Queen," to dispose of the body and cover up the crime, Yoshikage Kira left behind many traces during his crimes. It's actually quite a miracle that he was able to get away with it for several years.

Being imprisoned, he was naturally unable to continue killing, so his murderous urges surged wildly during this period, and his nails grew extremely fast.

Basically, after being cut short, the nails will grow back very long in a few days. In fact, when the urge to kill is at its peak, the growth rate of the nails is visible to the naked eye.

Several years have passed since Yoshikage Kira was arrested, and although he has been sentenced to death, the speed at which executions are carried out in Japan remains a mystery.

There was once a guy named Katagiri Anjuro, nicknamed Angelo, who was swiftly executed because his crimes were so heinous and he had offended powerful figures.

But Yoshikage Kira obviously didn't receive that treatment. He had been in prison for several years after being sentenced to death, and there was no news of his execution.

Kira Yoshikage sometimes thought that he might as well just die and be done with it. He was already deeply tormented by the fact that he was not allowed to kill.

In his view, killing was his nature, and the prison's actions were stifling his nature, to the point that he is now expressionless and feels mentally numb.

"Found you! You look so different, I almost didn't recognize you."

However, just as he was sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze, a male voice suddenly rang out in front of him, with a tone of surprise.

Kira Yoshikage looked up and saw Qin Chuan standing in front of him at some point, and behind him, the cell door had been destroyed.

Judging from the twisted appearance of the iron gate, it had been violently torn apart.

Qin Chuan was also somewhat surprised to see Yoshikage Kira in front of him—compared to his clean-cut appearance in the original work, Yoshikage Kira now looked like a slovenly old man.

It seems that being imprisoned and unable to satisfy his murderous urges has made Yoshikage Kira's mind unstable, and he is no longer able to maintain his original image.

"Fortunately, the Stand's aptitude hasn't changed. It seems that Stand aptitude and mental state aren't really related."

Qin Chuan pulled out an "arrow"—this was a trophy he had brought from the mission world, and of course he could bring it back into the mission world as well.

The arrow spun in Qin Chuan's palm and soon pointed straight at Yoshikage Kira, as if Yoshikage Kira were something magnetic.

Kira Yoshikage simply stared blankly at Qin Chuan, without showing any particular expression as Qin Chuan pulled out his "arrow".

The scenario of "feeling inexplicably that what is in front of me is related to me" did not occur.

Seeing that Yoshikage Kira didn't react, Qin Chuan didn't care and directly shot an arrow at Yoshikage Kira, which pierced his shoulder.

Kira Yoshikage frowned slightly. The pain in his shoulder finally made him react. He looked at Qin Chuan with some doubt, wondering if he had come to kill him.

At first, he thought Qin Chuan might be a relative of one of the victims, and wanted to avenge the victim in advance... but it seems that's not the case?

Soon, Yoshikage Kira felt a surge of heat flowing through his body. He widened his eyes and, following his instincts, summoned his new ability.

—Killer Queen!

A purple humanoid stand-in suddenly rose up from behind him, bare-chested, wearing black leather shorts, with black leather gloves on both hands, and a head as cold as a cat mask.

Yoshikage Kira was unaware of the Stand's existence and had not yet named the purple Stand, but he could sense its abilities.

He turns anything he touches into a bomb, and a self-destructing toy car is also residing in his left hand.
