A Pirate's Bizarre Adventure

Egypt, the city of Thebes.

"Hey, I don't know if I'm overthinking it, but that guy with the weird hairstyle has been following us for a long time." Polnareff said with a frown.

Clam?

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but turn around.

But they saw a strange guy wearing sunglasses, ugly appearance, and six bells hanging from his hair hanging not far behind them.

emmmm……

A suspicious feeling.

Jon said deliberately: "No matter what, the other party must have bad intentions. My suggestion is - strike first."

I would rather kill someone wrong than let it go.

This sneaky stalking behavior is itself a silent provocation.

Hearing this, Polnareff clenched his fists and said with a bad smile: "You don't need to do this, I can handle it myself."

Should it be said that it is the inertia of fate?

By some mistake, Polnareff once again faced Aresi, who had the hint of a 'Set God' stand-in.

Just when Jon was about to speak, Joseph said first, "Wait a minute, Polnareff, don't cause trouble."

The old man has thought carefully. We are only a day or two away from Dior's base camp, so it is better to keep a low profile.

After saying that, he pressed his hat, took the initiative to walk out of the team, and met the sneaky man behind him.

Joseph showed a hearty smile and said, "Hello, what can I do for you?"

Arresi felt that he was exposed, and his heart tightened.

But he did not dare to admit his identity, so he could only pretend to be looking for money, and deliberately said: "Oh, that's really weird, where is my money? Where did my money go?"

The acting was so poor that it made Jon and the others look stupid.

Of course Joseph would not be fooled by this kind of acting.

He frowned, "I said... are you the killer sent by Dio?"

"No, no, no, what are you talking about? I don't understand it at all."

Aresi smiled dryly, "I'm just an innocent passerby."

I'm afraid this can only be deceived by children.

Joseph was closest to Aresi and raised his fists without saying a word.

But Alessi seemed to be prepared, as the shadow under his feet suddenly grew two slender eyes.

It’s true, this guy is a substitute messenger!

With a thought in his heart, Joseph no longer held back, "Hermit's Purple!"

He originally wanted to use his substitute to control the other party, and then ask for Dio's information.

Unexpectedly, Aresi was like a slippery loach, and ran away without fighting with Joseph at all.

Joseph couldn't help but be a little confused.

Killer, that's it?

Shaking his head, he was about to return to the team.

When he turned around, he saw Jon and the others with incredible expressions on their faces.

Joseph scratched his brow, "What's wrong?"

This opening shocked even him.

wrong!

His voice...

"Jo...Mr. Joseph, you..."

Polnareff's eyes widened, "You have become younger!"

Joseph said angrily: "Hey, hey, Polnarep, are you awake? Even if you praise me like this, I won't be happy."

Jon smiled and said, "Dad, Polnareff didn't lie to you. If you don't believe me, just look at it."

As he spoke, he took out a small mirror from his luggage.

Joseph took it doubtfully and looked at himself in the mirror.

Then……

"Oh my god!" The old man covered his forehead, the expression on his face was extremely wonderful.

The changes in Joseph were so obvious that without Jon deliberately spoiling it, Abdel and the others guessed the ability of the enemy's stand-in - that kind of incorporeal stand-in that can extend to a certain extent and exert its influence by touching the shadow of others. The ability to temporarily regress a creature's biological age.

In other words, rejuvenation!

Compared with just now, Joseph is at least about 10 years younger now.

After figuring out the key, Joseph smiled brightly, "I really made a profit this time."

After laughing for a while, he looked serious and said, "Fortunately, it was me who went to negotiate just now. Otherwise, this ability would be very dangerous for young people like you."

That's not wrong.

God Seth's effect is not only a benefit to Joseph, but also a big trouble to everyone else.

Especially for Jotaro, Kakyoin, and Jon, if they are more than 10 years old and then go back 10 years, they will directly become children without children. How can they still fight then?

This incident should be regarded as a small episode. The timid Aresi never appeared in front of Jon and the others after his identity was exposed.

In other words, the meaning of this guy is just to strengthen Joseph Joestar for no reason and increase the difficulty of the game for his employer Dio...

Erwuzi was stoned.

Although Aresi didn't dare to show her face again, Malaya, who had the stand-in for the goddess Basti, was always looking for opportunities.

Her hard work paid off, and she, who had been hiding in the city of Thebes, finally found a partner with whom she could join forces.

A pair of brothers...gambler brothers.

That night, in a certain bar.

"Don't worry. With our brothers joining forces this time, Joseph Joestar's journey ends here." Brother Daniel Darby spoke first.

He stared at Malaya opposite, with a frivolous smile on his lips.

Upon hearing this, his younger brother Terrence Darby snorted, "Brothers joining forces? I should be the leader in this operation."

Don't blame him for looking down on his brother.

Because when he was 15 years old, his brother hooked up with his girlfriend and was beaten so hard that he fractured bones...

Moreover, this blind eldest brother never dared to bet with him, he looked like a complete coward.

Malaya had no intention of learning about the past of these gambling brothers. She held a cigarette in her mouth and said solemnly: "Joseph Joestar and the others are more cautious than you think. It's not easy to get them to take the bait."

Hearing this, the two brothers looked at each other and shared the same smile.

“Sometimes, it’s not just because they say they don’t want to gamble.”

"The rivers and lakes are dangerous and you can't help yourself."

"That's it -" Malaya was noncommittal, "Anyway, I will assist you on the side. Even if you can't defeat Joseph Joestar and the others, I will find ways to let them get in touch with my stand, so as to complete the decisive victory. .”

Speaking of this, she seemed to think of something again, "By the way, how are you going to lure them into the game?"

Daniel Darby smiled slightly, "According to intelligence, there is an old acquaintance of mine in Joseph Joestar's team."

Malaya's heart moved, "Is this the old acquaintance you mentioned?"

His younger brother Terrence Darby said immediately, "Yes, it is the shameless man who betrayed Master Dio, Horhos. We know that guy too well. As long as we bring him into the game, it will be equivalent to bringing Joseph into the trap." . Joestar and the others were all dragged into the water.”

After pondering for a moment, Malaya nodded slightly, "If that's the case, I can provide you with a little help."

These words were said to the hearts of the Darby brothers. Even if Malaya didn't speak, they wanted to take the initiative to ask the beauty with black stockings to take action.

Now that the intentions are the same, everyone is naturally happy——

…

…

Although there were no clues on the surface, Horhos could never completely calm down in his heart.

There is no way, as a traitor, he is under far greater pressure than others.

"Really, get this thing settled quickly, and I will never come to this wretched place like Egypt again." Horhos muttered in a low voice and began to look for a shop selling cigarettes on the street.

Just then, a crisp voice attracted his attention

——That was the sound of the lighter popping open its lid.

As a long-time smoker, he is all too familiar with this movement.

Looking around, I saw a beauty with silver-gray hair, black stockings and a midriff-baring top and a miniskirt leaning against the streetlight, smoking a cigarette with a lonely look on her face.

It's not that Horhos is weak-willed.

To be honest, if you are a man, you can’t help but enter fantasy time...

Coincidentally, Holhos is also the kind of love veteran who not only dares to think but also dares to do it.

Although he fell in love with a woman named Nina, this could not erase his yearning for beautiful 'love'.

Almost before his consciousness reacted, his body walked to the beautiful girl in black stockings over there, smiled and said, "Hello, are you lonely tonight?"

The beauty in black stockings is of course Malaya.

Seeing that Horhos took the bait easily, she raised a meaningful smile on her lips, but she asked calmly, "Who are you?"

Holhos cleared his throat, "Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Holhos, and I am a wandering wanderer. If you don't mind, how about we have an in-depth discussion?"

Malaya looked Horhos up and down and shrugged, "It doesn't matter, I happen to be fine."

Let me go, is it so easy to get started?

Horhos was secretly happy.

Just as he was about to speak, Malaya suddenly turned around and left.

How could some of the superior Horhos agree? He hurriedly followed.

Along the way, he showed his hospitality, but Malaiya's attitude was always neither salty nor cool.

The two came to the entrance of a casino. Horhos was stunned for a moment, and a suspicious look gradually appeared in his eyes. "Hey, is this woman like you a shill? Let's talk about it first. Who am I, Mr. Horhos?" I’ve never seen this scene before, so I won’t be fooled by you.”

Malaya turned back and licked her lips gently, "If I say I am, will you still come in with me?"

"Seductive little goblin!" Horhos cursed secretly.

But he smiled and said: "Of course, I'm just curious about how I can win a beauty like you home?"

Malaya thought for a while, "It's very simple... You can come in and try your luck. Maybe I will be yours tonight."

Who can withstand this!

Even though he knew there was a scam ahead, Horhos still jumped in.

He was in a daze, but he was very lucky and won many chips one after another.

The little old emperor was a little carried away, "Can I take you away?"

Malaya covered her mouth and chuckled, "No, these chips are just your ticket, the real challenge begins now."

Horhos has almost all the shortcomings of a man.

Being completely overwhelmed, he didn't question Malaya's words at all. He just slapped his chest and said, "No matter what it is, tonight, you, I will make a decision."

Hearing this, Malaya was not angry and just brought Horhos to the innermost gambling table.

Unlike other dealers, the dealer this time was wearing a black cloak and sunglasses at night, which made him look very strange.

But Horhos didn't care. He spread the chips on the table carelessly, "Tell me, what are you betting on?"

The mysterious banker smiled slightly and said, "My bet is very simple. Even children can play it and compete with each other."

As he spoke, he opened a new deck of playing cards and said to Hollows: "We will only bet once. If we win, everything in this casino will be yours."

Horhos was stunned, "Including this woman?"

The mysterious dealer nodded, "Including."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's start quickly!" Horhos said impatiently.

The dealer didn't waste any time and just threw him a card.

Horhouse was about to open the cards.

Suddenly, an inexplicable chill surged into his heart, and he asked as if he was blessed, "If I lose..."

"Lost?" The mysterious banker smiled slightly and took off the sunglasses on his face, "If you lose, just leave your soul here."

"You...you are..."

His attention was completely attracted by Malaya, and the bookmaker was more strict than the Arabs, so Horhos didn't pay attention at first.

Now take a closer look.

Oops.

Isn't this one of Dior's cronies, Daniel Darby?

He stood up and suddenly understood a lot of things.

From the beginning, this was a trap for him!

Daniel Darby was not surprised by Holhouse's reaction and said with a smile: "Are you sure? Holhouse, since the cards have been dealt, it means that you are already part of the gamble. If you turn around and leave now , this bet means I win.”

he said. While uncovering his cards.

A 6.

'6'

This number was neither too big nor too small, and Holhos's heart calmed down a little.

Quietly scanned the rest of the casino.

But he found that the noisy gamblers had completely quieted down and were staring here intently.

Holhos swallowed, his eyes stern, "Okay, I'll bet with you."

Taking a deep breath, he opened the card that Daniel Darby had dealt to him.

Theoretically speaking, the numbers larger than 6 include 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, and K.

The only numbers smaller than 6 are 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

7:5

He has a good chance of winning.

However, when the card was revealed, Holhos was dumbfounded.

Because his card is a 3.

Little Yakuza.

Daniel Darby was not surprised by this result.

Holhos wanted to say something else, but a brass-colored substitute suddenly appeared from Darby's body.

With one tap, the little old emperor's soul was turned into a bargaining chip.

Bang.

The chips symbolizing Horhos's soul fell on the gambling table, and Malaya lit a cigarette with an expressionless face.

Daniel Darby smiled slightly and added the chips to his collection.

Looking at Malaya, he said happily, "Now as long as we tell Joseph Joestar and the others about Horhos, our plan will be completely successful."

Malaya asked, "Are you so sure that they will be fooled?"

Daniel Darby shrugged, "This is a common problem among good people. They will never give up on their companions."

Malaya was silent for a while and then said: "Are you confident about this bet?"

Daniel Darby knocked on the table, "Although I feel a little embarrassed to boast like this, when my brother and I join forces, there is no bet in this world that we can't win!"
