"The future?"
Takatsuki nodded: "In the future, I met Jotaro and Mr. Joseph, but Mr. Joseph was already suffering from senile dementia then. I estimate it might be due to brain damage from the Lover's Stand attack during this journey."
The others looked at Joseph, clearly a bit disbelieving: "Do you have any proof?"
"Good grief, it's really not easy to find proof, after all, much information is from the future, and in the future world, only Mr. Joseph, Jotaro, and Polnareff are still alive."
"Polnareff? Are you talking about me?"
Polnareff pointed at himself, surprised to be mentioned.
"Oh, right, there's something only Mr. Joseph knows."
"Something only this old man knows?"
Joseph Joestar pointed to himself, then looked at the others looking at him: "Then tell me, I will make a judgment."
"That is, you once cheated with a woman named Higashikata Tomoko, and she has now given birth to your child named Higashikata Josuke, who lives in Mo… mm…"
Before Takatsuki finished speaking, Joseph covered his mouth: "Alright, alright, I believe you. This young man Jotaro should be telling the truth."
"Good grief, old man, I'll tell Grandma Suzi about this."
Jotaro pulled down his hat, clearly seeing that Takatsuki was telling the truth.
Avdol and Polnareff nudged Joseph: "I didn't expect you to have such a romantic history."
Joseph scratched his head: "I didn't even know Tomoko had a child. If it's true, even the Speedwagon Foundation and I don't know about it, but if that child really grows up, he'll find out sooner or later. I'll have the Speedwagon Foundation investigate it later to know if it's true or false."
Takatsuki shrugged: "Of course it's true. I just didn't expect Mr. Joseph to have never cared about Josuke. But speaking of which, he's also running a high fever now because of his Stand. If Dio isn't dealt with, he'll probably die too."
"Really! How do you know?"
Joseph was very shocked. He only had two children, and both were on the verge of death because of Dio.
"Of course, it's what he said in the future. He said he had a high fever when he was four, and his mother's car broke down due to heavy snow, but he was rescued by a pompadour-haired youth. That's why he kept his pompadour later. Oh, and he's thirteen years younger than Jotaro, but he's Jotaro's uncle."
"Good grief…"
Jotaro pulled down his hat upon hearing this, and Kakyoin patted his shoulder in comfort.
However, after hearing Takatsuki's words, the others began to trust Takatsuki.
"Let's not talk about me. Tell me why you are here and what you are here to do."
Joseph didn't want his romantic history to be known any further, so he quickly changed the subject.
Takatsuki didn't dwell on it and continued: "In the future, Dio's closest friend inherited Dio's will and reset the world."
"And the root cause of the world reset was because Jotaro read Dio's diary after defeating him, and that friend's Stand ability was to turn people's Stands and memories into Discs."
"Ultimately, Jotaro and her daughter's friends sacrificed themselves to stop that person, but he still accelerated half of it, and the original world was still destroyed."
Takatsuki roughly described the plot of Stone Ocean, and the diary was also something that would happen in the future.
"Jotaro has a daughter!? What's her name?"
"Old man!"
Joseph's focus was clearly a bit off. Jotaro sighed after angrily shouting: "So you're here to stop me from reading that notebook?"
Takatsuki nodded then shook his head: "Not entirely. This experience, Mr. Jotaro, you will remember for the rest of your lives, but you will also regret the deaths of Kakyoin, Avdol, and Iggy, especially Polnareff. So since I have this opportunity, I also want to see if I can change the ending."
"I will provide you with information about the enemies you mentioned to me, but there might be some you haven't mentioned, and there might be a butterfly effect due to my interference, so you still need to be vigilant."
The others pondered Takatsuki's words for a moment.
"If that's the case, your information is indeed useful. So what about these two young ladies? And how did you travel through time? Also, what is your Stand ability?"
Joseph nodded, temporarily believing Takatsuki's incredible story, but still asked cautiously.
"Time travel is not my Stand ability, but a one-time ability I gained through other opportunities. The cost is that my power has been restricted. My current Stand is an ability borrowed from a Stand user I met in the future."
Takatsuki didn't hide it but showed his Stand, Crazy Diamond: "This Stand is the Stand that your son, Higashikata Josuke, will acquire in the future. Its ability is to repair, even at the moment of a person's death, as long as the soul has not dissipated, it can heal them."
After speaking, Crazy Diamond punched the floor, shattering the ground, but a golden energy was controlled in mid-air, miraculously restoring it to its original position.
"Oh, it really restored."
The others exclaimed.
"And this, is the Stand of Josuke's friend, The Hand."
Crazy Diamond suddenly transformed into The Hand, waving its right hand at the nearby wall: "Its ability is to erase space."
"How is that possible! One person having multiple Stands!?"
Facing everyone's surprise, Takatsuki smiled: "This is also a fortuitous encounter of mine, and this Stand, King Crimson…"
"Its ability is to delete time, making people lose a few seconds of memory. Polnareff, this is also the Stand of the person who will cripple you in the future. His name is Diavolo, the boss of the Passione organization."
"Crippled me!? This ugly Stand?"
Polnareff pointed at himself in surprise, then suddenly realized Takatsuki was gone: "Where is he!?"
"Right here!"
A white hand slapped Polnareff's shoulder.
"When did he…?"
"So fast!"
Joseph understood immediately: "No, this is time deletion, a truly terrifying ability. I didn't even notice it."
Releasing Polnareff, Takatsuki smiled and said: "This is nothing. Jotaro's ability from Dio is truly terrifying."
Everyone looked at Jotaro.
"Good grief, Star Platinum has an ability too?"
Everyone thought Star Platinum's ability was just high stats, but now it seemed there was an undeveloped ability.
"Time stop. Dio can stop time for five seconds now, and it might even extend to nine seconds later. Jotaro also has the same ability, but because he is human, his limit can only reach five seconds."
"Time stop, huh."
"A terrifying ability…"
"Can we even beat him?"
Joseph looked at Jotaro: "If that's the case, then perhaps the key to defeating Dio lies with you, Jotaro!"
"Good grief…"
Takatsuki finally introduced Kiana and Mei: "Actually, this isn't my first stop. I went to other worlds and gained some special powers, and they are the ones who have been traveling with me."
"This white-haired one is Kiana, and this is Mei. They are both my best friends."
"However, due to time travel, our powers have been sealed. They are not Stand users yet and cannot see Stands, but with some time, they will recover some power. Then I will give them two other Stands to use."
Kakyoin Noriaki looked at Takatsuki and said, "To be able to give Stands to others, what a terrifying fortuitous encounter."
"Hahaha, everyone should no longer have doubts, right? Since they are our future friends and friends of friends, then they are our friends. Let's celebrate tonight. The ship arranged by the Speedwagon Foundation should arrive tomorrow."
Joseph laughed a few times, seemingly very pleased with today's experience, and the others also nodded.
But just as they turned around, Jotaro's Stand suddenly appeared, and its left and right fists suddenly slammed towards Kiana and Mei.
Then it stopped at the extreme distance.
"Good grief…"
Jotaro pulled down his hat brim and retracted his Stand, while Kiana and Mei had no idea what had happened.
"Remember to apologize tonight."
Jotaro said nothing, only pulling his hat lower, listening to Takatsuki's words.
