Chapter 235: Preparing to Wrap Up the JOJO World
Dragon's physical strength is indeed stronger than that of an average person; at least, Tohru was the last to surrender.
After exhausting all three of them, Shin finally got out of bed, drank some water, and prepared to rest.
Two days had passed since the last time he entered the JOJO world. By now, Giorno Giovanna should have already joined Bruno Bucciarati's team and taken down Polpo.
If nothing unexpected happens, Giorno and Bucciarati will soon go to claim Polpo's assets, allowing Bucciarati to become a capo and take over the tasks Polpo left unfinished.
One of these tasks is "escorting the Boss's daughter."
From this moment on, Diavolo will also begin waiting for them on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, anticipating the arrival of his daughter.
"It's time to reap the rewards from the JOJO world."
After replenishing some fluids, Shin returned to bed and, surrounded by the already sleeping group, gradually drifted into a dream.
At this point, there isn't much left in the JOJO world that can assist him. Aside from some functional Stands, the most important item is likely the Arrow.
That thing can awaken a Stand's Requiem, and each of these abilities is formidable, capable of somewhat ignoring the disparity in combat power. Naturally, it's not something to be overlooked.
So, this time, entering the JOJO world isn't just about taking down Diavolo, the main target of the storyline. More importantly, it's about securing the Arrow.

{Transitioning to Zuke}
[Respected Zuke, please select the mission world you wish to enter: 1. "Dragon Ball" (time not adjusted); 2. "JOJO's Bizarre Adventure" (time not adjusted); 3. "TYPE-MOON" (main mission generating)]
[Respected Zuke, you have 2 remaining play attempts for today.]
The mission for the TYPE-MOON world is still generating, which left Zuke quite frustrated. It feels like the main mission generation for this world is much slower compared to the JOJO world.
However, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Zuke will complete the second main mission in the JOJO world today.
What he's curious about now is what kind of achievement will be triggered after completing the main mission of the same world twice, and what the reward for that achievement will be.
Ideally, it would unlock the fourth mission world. Otherwise, if the JOJO world enters another main mission generation phase, he'll only have the Dragon Ball world to fall back on.
With these thoughts in mind, Zuke chose to enter the JOJO world.
Soon, he felt his consciousness sinking, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself sitting on a secluded park bench.
This was the exact spot where he had left the JOJO world last time.
Upon entering the JOJO world, Zuke immediately sensed the locations of the two "Black Bird · Lover" he had left behind in this world.
One was inside Koichi Hirose's body, and it seemed to have traveled far away, even beyond Italy.
In the original story, Koichi mentioned that he planned to travel to other European countries. It appears he has now obtained his passport and ventured to another country.
After all, Koichi's travel funds were provided by Jotaro Kujo and the SPW Foundation, so he didn't need to spend his own money. Naturally, he took the opportunity to visit as many places as possible.
The other "Black Bird · Lover" was inside Giorno Giovanna's body. Zuke could sense that Giorno's location was moving at high speed.
That speed was clearly beyond what an ordinary person could achieve, more like being inside some kind of vehicle.
After a moment's thought, Zuke realized—Giorno and Bucciarati's team were likely on a high-speed train.
In the original story, after accepting the mission to "escort the Boss's daughter," they soon boarded a train to Venice as instructed by the Boss.
On that train, they would encounter two traitors from the Passione organization, but they managed to overcome them after a tough battle.
Zuke sensed the new black feather he had given Giorno two days ago—it hadn't been destroyed, which meant Giorno didn't feel he was in any danger that required Zuke's intervention.
If Giorno truly needed Zuke's help, Zuke wouldn't mind stepping in. After all, Giorno's actions were crucial in drawing out Diavolo, and he had been of great help.
But since Giorno hadn't asked for help, there was no need for Zuke to make a trip to his location.
After all, Giorno had just joined Bucciarati's team, and there were other members in the group...
If Zuke suddenly showed up and acted chummy with Giorno, it might raise suspicions among the others.
Instead, Zuke planned to go straight to San Giorgio Maggiore Island and confront Diavolo directly.
...San Giorgio Maggiore Island is a church island in Venice, with almost no buildings other than the San Giorgio Maggiore Church.
Under normal circumstances, only members of the church would be allowed inside, but Diavolo was different. With his power and influence, he could enter freely.
Diavolo's creation, the Passione organization, had deeply entrenched itself in Italy, with countless powerful figures entangled in its web. It was essentially the underground ruler of Italy.
In the original story, Jean Pierre Polnareff, while investigating Diavolo, even faced communication blockades by the Passione organization, making it impossible for him to contact the outside world.
This shows just how deeply the organization had infiltrated and controlled the country.
In recent days, the San Giorgio Maggiore Church had been on a break, so the church was empty. Diavolo had chosen this place to receive his daughter, who was being escorted by Bucciarati's team.
Of course, Diavolo's intention in receiving his daughter wasn't to protect her—it was to kill her.
His reasoning was that his daughter, sharing his bloodline, could potentially be used to trace his whereabouts.
While it might sound far-fetched, in the JOJO world, his concerns were entirely justified.
The bloodline connections in the JOJO world are incredibly strong, with the Joestar family's ties running through the plot from Parts 1 to 6.
As Zuke pondered Diavolo's situation, he took a small boat to San Giorgio Maggiore Island.
After all, this was Venice, the city of water, and boats were plentiful. Zuke spent a little money to rent a speedboat and arrived at the small island, which was dominated by the church.
Upon approaching the island, the first thing Zuke did was use his "Ki" to sense the entire island.
He needed to confirm whether Diavolo was already hiding in the church, as he had anticipated.
