Chapter 134 - 135: Take My Place on the Throne Ghouls risking their own lives to cover for humans, this kind of scene was truly rare. Arima looked deeply at Irimi, his flickering eyes not knowing what he was thinking. "Go!" The opportunity from Arima's distraction was hard to come by, and Irimi would definitely not miss it. She gave a light shout, telling Jotaro to leave quickly. As for herself, she led her subordinates to seize the chance to attack Arima. Arima lowered his head, as if he hadn't noticed the oncoming attack at all. But just when Irimi thought she was about to succeed, a spiral-shaped sharp spear suddenly appeared in her sight. "So fast!" Arima was like someone skilled in using a fast sword, his moves were invisible and shapeless, fast as lightning. No one could see his hand movements. When others could finally see his weapon, it meant they were not far from death. Because by that time, his weapon would have already pierced through their body. Irimi's eyes widened, clearly feeling the aura of death. She had underestimated Arima's strength. She had thought she could buy more time for Jotaro, but never expected she would die in an instant! "ORA!" Just as the sharp spear was about to pierce into Irimi's body, Star Platinum's fist struck the side of the spear with speed and precision. Splat! Blood splattered, and Irimi's body rapidly retreated. A bloody hole was left in front of her body, but it wasn't deep. Arima stared blankly at the Quinque in his hand, a hint of shock appearing in his cold eyes. The black spearhead was visibly breaking apart. Cracked kagune fragments were falling piece by piece from the tip. What was once a hardened kagune now seemed so fragile. Just from the friction of air alone, it was ground into powder. Or perhaps it had been powder from the start, it just transformed so quickly that they hadn't had time to separate? Jotaro caught Irimi's retreating body and casually tossed her backward. "Told you not to get in the way." Irimi coughed up a mouthful of blood, her eyes trembling with fear. Even if she had mentally prepared for death, truly facing it still brought fear. She knew very well, with her body, she absolutely couldn't block Arima's strike. Arima could kill them in less than a second. And the one who saved them in that split-second moment... In Irimi's vision, appeared a towering figure, still calm and composed even now, like an unshakable mountain peak. The only one who could save them was him. Kujo Jotaro. His strength was far beyond what she imagined. The S+-grade Quinque, IXA, Arima had used it to take countless lives. But now, this sharp weapon had crumbled in his hands. Very few people could destroy the weapon in Arima's hands. But someone who could destroy his weapon without him noticing, from birth till now, he had never encountered one. "Seems like you're even more interesting than the rumors say." Arima let go of IXA and took out a black box. "You're his first true opponent!" This was the Quinque he had created from the kakuhou he took from Yoshimura when he was 19 years old, SSS-rated ukaku Quinque, Owl. "Let me test your depth, Kujo." Arima's face was solemn. The strength Jotaro displayed made him have to treat this seriously. "I advise you not to have that kind of thought," Jotaro said, his pale green eyes watching him. "It'll only make your already short life even shorter." For the first time, Arima's cold expression showed emotion, he was stunned. Not many people knew about his short lifespan, how did Jotaro know? Right now, he wanted even more to capture Jotaro and interrogate him thoroughly. But if Jotaro had only meant that literally, and Arima insisted on standing in his way, then he'd just beat him up. Arima gripped "Owl," eyes narrowing, and rushed directly at Jotaro. His figure was agile and fast. In the blink of an eye, the sharp "Owl" had already stabbed three times at extreme speed. Arima's movements suddenly stalled, his entire body halted, and for the first time, shock appeared on his face. He alone knew how fast his attacks were. Each of the three strikes had been faster than the last. Every blow faster than the previous one. This kind of variable-speed attack was a technique everyone knew, but mastering it was extremely difficult. Once someone adapted to the rhythm of the first attack, the following strike would be a killing move. If Jotaro had merely dodged his attack, Arima wouldn't have been surprised. But Jotaro dodged each attack slightly faster than Arima's strike. That meant, not only had he seen through Arima's attack pattern, but he still had energy to spare while dealing with it. "ORA!" Jotaro didn't give him time to think. His hard fist had already smashed into Arima's face. "ORA ORA ORA ORA!" A fierce set of combo punches directly sent Kishou Arima flying. Irimi Kaya swallowed hard, that man known as CCG's Reaper, the undefeated investigator, had just been defeated so easily by someone. Kishou Arima fell flat on the ground, his face covered in fist marks, no longer recognizable as that once-handsome face. Jotaro didn't look at him, walking past him directly. But just then, members of the Zero Squad suddenly leapt out and blocked his path. They looked at Jotaro, expressions varied, but despite different emotions, the shock in their eyes was the same. As Arima's subordinates, each of them had been his devout believers. Their faith shattered, it was something none of them could accept. Although their captain had fallen, they would not let a high-level wanted criminal of CCG like Jotaro escape. They wanted to restore their captain's dignity, by taking Jotaro down. A fight was about to erupt. "Wait!" Arima's emotionless voice came through. The Zero Squad members stiffened and angrily stopped. Jotaro also stopped, because his pant leg had been grabbed by Arima. Arima's eyes no longer held their usual coldness, his gaze was warm, full of pleading, as if hoping Jotaro would listen. "I once thought the one who could lead ghouls and humans toward peaceful coexistence must be a One-Eyed with extraordinary racial talent!" "But now I know... I was wrong!" His deep eyes looked into Jotaro's, and he spoke one word at a time, "The one who can lead humans and ghouls, is a human! A human like you!" Jotaro frowned, totally confused. He thought Arima had been punched into a concussion and had gone mad. "Yare yare daze..." Jotaro shook his head and shook off Arima's hand from his pant leg. He didn't have time to waste words with a lunatic. "Wait a second!" Arima suddenly became agitated. "Listen to me! If you know about my limited lifespan, then you must know the secrets of the Washuu family!" Jotaro stopped and turned back. "What are you talking about?" Arima didn't see the surprise in Jotaro's eyes. He said each word seriously, "I hope... you can take my place on the throne!" ═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═ patreon.com/XenosX ????Joining Patreon keeps me motivated and eager to work diligently, so please consider joining.????
