Chapter 3: Jean Pierre Polnareff

EPISODE 5

Y/n's POV

"Your sword is terrifyingly fast. It's amazing, but do you really think you'll defeat me by the time the flames on that table strike twelve? Aren't you being rather conceited, Mister?" Avdol asks cooly

You're so cool

"Polnareff. Allow me to introduce myself. Jean Pierre Polnareff" He says

"Merci beaucoup. I appreciate your introduction. But" Avdol says
(Thank you very much)

He then destroys the table with fire. We all stare shocked

"Monsieur Polnareff, don't assume that my flames always burn upward or downwind as they would in nature. It is called Magician's Red because it controls flames freely" Avdol says
(Sir)

Polnareff puts his stand's sword in the ground

"In the beginning, this world was engulfed in flames. I expect nothing less from Magician's Red, who controls the flames that suggest the beginning of all things. But, you say I'm being conceited? You're saying that my swordsmanship is mere conceit?!" Polnareff asks. He then throws coins into the air

"What's he going to d-" I began

"Shut up" Jotaro says. Polnareff then uses Silver Chariot to make the coins on fire and stab all five of them. Polnareff looks at us all and smirks

"It appears you understand what this means. It is not conceit. My stand has the power to sever even fire! It can slash the very air and create gaps between nothingness and nothingness. Which means your Magician's Red us powerless before my Silver Chariot" Polnareff says. His stand then disappears and the coins drop to the floor. We all turned to see he was behind us

"The card that my stand has, The Chariot, suggests conquest and victory. I don't mind taking care of you in this cramped little space, but, Avdol, you'd be able to use your flame abilities in a much more open space, no? It wouls be fitting for my stand to defeat you under those circumstances. A fitting victory" Polnareff says as he walks out

"All of you, outside!" He yells at us. We all followed him to a weird art type of place

"Wh-What is this place?" Joseph asks

"It's Tiger Balm Garden" Kakyoin says. I look at him

"You know a lot don't you?" I ask. He laughs

"I wouldn't say that" He says. We walk to a clearing

"I will make a prediction here. First, Avdol, you will be destroyed by your own stand's powers" Polnareff says

"Avdol" Jotaro says ready to fight

"Jotaro, you need not interfere. With such an open space, I can control my stand as freely as I please" Avdol says. He then pulls out Magician's Red. Their two stands begin to fight. Chariot keeps attack and Red keeps dodging. Magician's Red then threw fire at Chariot but Chariot deflected. He threw the fire at a statue which made it break and show Magician's Red

"He's mocking us" Joseph says

"You know, you fit quite well in this garden, Magician's Red" Polnareff says. Avdol powers his stand up

"Hey, hide behind something" Joseph says

"What? Why?" I ask not moving

"Crossfire Hurricane!" Avdol yells as he releases his attack. I quickly back up. Chariot reflects it back to Avdol. Which does a decent amount of damage

"Avdol!" Joseph yells. Avdol collapses

"Avdol!" I yell starting to walk towards him. I feel someone grab my wrist

"Don't" Joseph says

"But I can heal him.." I say

"You will die burned by your own flames!" Polnareff says. Magician's Red then goes to attack him. Jean begins taking damage and that's when we realized, Avdol had thrown in a fake.

"Your eyes were blinded by the flames. I told you that I could control my flames freely. The flames that you blew back towards it melted its joints and caused it to move. You are the one defeated by his own stand's powers. And now, face this again! Crossfire Hurricane!" Avdol yells directly hitting Silver Chariot.

"I believe it's ten years too soon for you to fight me, a fortune teller, with predictions" Avdol says cockily. Polnareff falls to the ground

"Are you injured?!" I ask

"I am alright Miss Y/n, thank you though" He says

"Yeah, he's dead. If he's lucky, he'll be in serious condition. Actually, that'd be bad luck" Jotaro says

"Either way, he won't be able to stand for three months. His stand is destroyed and unable to fight." Kakyoin says

"Now, Mister Joestar, let us hurry on our journey to Egypt" Avdol says. Suddenly things shoot in the sky

"Wh-What? His stand is breaking into pieces!" Joseph yells. We watched him shoot up in the air. Polnareff begins clapping

"Bravo! Oh, bravo!" Polnaredf says
(Well done)

"Why is his body floating in the air?" Jotaro asks

"Take a good look with your inner eye" Polnareff says. I narrow my eyes to see it's his stand

"Silver Chariot" I say. Polnareff then flips and lands on the ground perfectly

"You seem shocked, and it wouldn't be honorable to defeat you without explaining my powers first. You could even call it a surprise attack. Would you give me the time to explain?" Polnareff asks

"Very well. Let's hear this explanation" Avdol says walking towards Polnareff

"My stand did not break apart and disappear. Silver Chariot was wearing armor. That's what it just took off. What was burned away by your flames was just part of his armor. That's why I was only lightly injured. And with its armor off, it is lighter. Did you see it lift me up? That's right. That's how fast it can move now!" Polnareff exclaims

"I see. So you're saying that because its armor was so heavy, it had to take my Crossfire Hurricane head on. But that would also mean that it's naked now. Now that it doesn't have it's protection, if it were to take that attack again, it wouldn't survive" Avdol says

"Oui, precisely. But that would be impossible" Polnareff says
(Yes)

"Impossible? I'd like to test that theory" Avdol says

"Because I'm going to show you something astonishing" Polnareff says

"Oh? Go right ahead" Avdol says. Multiple Silver Chariots appear.

"There are seven of them!" Joseph says

"I-Impossible. There should only he one stand to each user" Kakyoin says

"He only has one stand. He's just made copies that you probably can't feel, it's like a visual thing" I say

"Ah it seems you are correct my dear" He says

"I'm 17 sir sit down" I say

"My apologies" He mutters. He then gets ready to attack

"How do you like its swordsmanship now?" Polnareff asks as he attacks. Magician's Red dodges.

"Red Bind!" Avdol yells trying to find the real Silver Chariot.

"I told you that you wouldn't be able to follow its movements. Your flames can only grasp shadow clones" Polnareff says. Avdol goes on the offense and attacks once more

"Striking at random now? You're getting a bit desperate, Avdol" Polnareff says

"It's true, that'll just use up all his energy" Kakyoin says

"He has a plan, I know he does" I say

"Let's hope you are correct" He says

"Crossfire Hurricane!" Avdol yells launching his move once more. He hit a clone though

"Non, non, non, non, non, non. That is also a shadow clone. Your attack will not work against my stand. Come on, come on, come on!" Polnareff yells
(No)

He stabbed Avdol multiple times

"Such precision. Th-This is a stand ability that has been very highly trained" Avdol says

"For certain reasons, I trained for nearly ten years. Now, come at me again. I will finish you with my next move" Polnareff says

"In the name of chivalry, you keep explaining your attacks. You're rather honorable. Therefore, I shall also reveal a secret before beginning my next attack" Avdol says

"Oh?" Polnareff asks

"You see, there are variations to my Crossfire Hurricane. It is a flame in the shape of an Ankh, but it need not be singular. I can break it up and make it fly in pieces. Crossfire Hurricane Special! Just try and dodge it!" Avdol yells launching his next move.

"You waste your time, Avdol!" Polnareff says as his clones circle around him

"There's no opening!" Kakyoin says

"Naive! Naive, naive, naive, naive! You're naive! I will again use this power against you! Sever! Blow it back at him!" Polnareff yells. The suddenly something comes from underground

"What?!" Polnareff asks. He was then hit dead on. He falls to the ground on fire

"I told you, I can break apart my flames and make them fly in as many pieces as I wish" Avdol says. He then pulls out a knife and throws it in the ground near Polnareff

"Burning is a rather painful way to die. Use that dagger to kill yourself" Avdol says turning his back and walking away. Polnareff picks it up and goes to throw it at Avdol but then puts it to his own neck. He dropped the knife. Avdol then released his flames.

"Even now, you remember to be chivalrous. And you did not throw your dagger when I had my back turned" Avdol says. He then picks his head up

"Despite having orders from Dio, your proud honor shines through. It would be a shame to kill you. There must be a reason for his actions. JoJo!" Avdol says. We all walk over to see he has a flesh bud. Jotaro gets Star Platinum to pull it out. Me and Joseph began squirming around in disgust

"Ugh. Those tentacles are so gross! Jotaro, hurry up and get it out. Hurry! Hurry!" Joseph yells

"Shut up, old man" Jotaro says yanking out the fleshbud. Joseph then lifts Polnareff up

"Good! Now that the flesh bud is gone, we can be buddies. Ta-da!" Joseph says pulling out a dad joke. I started laughing. No one else was though

"You guys could atleast give a pity laugh" I say glaring at them. Jotaro glared back

"Kakyoin, don't guys like him who make stupid puns seriously upset you?" Jotaro asks

"Alright let me heal you and Polnareff up" I say to Avdol

~Time Skip~

"The boat that we had chartered from the Speedwagon crew yesterday should be at the harbor by now" Joseph says. We then run into Polnareff

"What's wrong? Is there something else you needed, Polnareff?" Avdol asks

"I haven't thanked you for freeing me from Dio's spell or for healing me yet" Polnareff says

"For that you need to thank JoJo and Y/n" Avdol says

"Don't need it" Jotaro says

"I'll take it" I say

"Thank you very much, but there is something else. Monsieur Joestar, I'd like to ask you a very bizarre question" Polnareff says
(Sir)

"A bizarre question?" Joseph asks

"Forgive my curiosity, but even while eating, you didn't take off your gloves. Your left arm wouldn't happen to be a right arm, would it?" Polnareff asks

"What? My left arm, a right arm? That is indeed a bizarre question. What do you mean?" Joseph asks

"I'm looking for the man who killed my younger sister" Polnareff says. All of us stare shocked

"I don't know his face, but he has two right arms" Polnareff says. Joseph takes off his glove to show a metal hand

"I lost it in a battle fifty years ago" Joseph says

"I apologize for my rudeness. Please forgive me" Polnareff says

"If you don't mind, tell us what happened" Joseph says

"It's been three years now. My younger sister was walking home from school with a classmate one rainy day. It was a country road in my native France. On the side of the road, a man stood with his back to them. Mysteriously, even though it was raining, the rain fell around him in a dome like shape, as if an invisible screen surrounded him. Suddenly as if cut down by a scythe, her classmates chest was sliced open. And then my sister was shamed and killed. That was all that man wanted. Barely escaping death, her friend somehow survived. She said that she didn't see his face, but both of his arms were right arms. No one believed her testimony, but I understood it! Because I believed that man may have a similar power to the one that I had been keeping a secret" Polnareff says. I looked at Polnareff with sorrow in my eyes. I had felt bad

"He's definitely a stand user" Joseph says

"I swore! My sister's would would not be able to rest unless he atoned with his death! I will use my stand for retribution! Then, a year ago, I met Dio and then I was ordered to kill you. I believed that was the right thing to do" Polnareff says

"It's partially because of the flesh bud, but Dio's also skilled at manipulating others" Avdol says

"Indeed. But according to what you said, it would appear that Dio has found the man with two right arms and has joined forces with him" Kakyoin says

"I've decided to go to Egypt with all of you! If I go after Dio, I'll be able to find the one who took my sister's life!" Polnareff says

"What should we do?" Kakyoin asks

"I think we should let him join. The more, the merrier" I say

"I have no objections" Avdol says. Jotaro puts his cap down

"I'm sure you'd follow us, even if we said no" Joseph says

"It's an honor" Polnareff says

"Good grie-" Jotaro begins but is cut off

"Excuse me! Would you mind taking our picture?" Two girls ask Jotaro. I look at him and smirk

"Oh yes Jotaro, please take their photo" I say dramatically. He gives me a glare to shut up which only makes me laugh.

"Thank you. We want our backs toward the ocean" The girls says

"You're annoying me! Ask someone else!" Jotaro yells

"Now, now, now now. I'll take your picture for you. Come, come. You have very nice legs. Let's get a full body shot" Polnareff says. Me and Jotaro stare at Polnareff darkly. He then begins taking photos of their legs

"Très bien! Just like the button, I want to push, push, push your hearts toward mine!" Polnareff says
(Very well)

"I don't quite understand his personality" Avdol says

"That was a very sudden mood change" Kakyoin says

"More like his head and his lower half are very clearly seperated" Joseph says which makes me laugh

"I second that" I say

"Good grief" Jotaro says.
