Your POV:

Anasui: So, anyway... I want to ask you what you have planned next...

Jolyne: ... First, I'd like to thank you for what you've done. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you, you've protected me until now. But... Why are doing all of this for me ? Finding Whitesnake and retrieving my father's disc is only of my concern.

Anasimp: Jolyne. You know how I feel about you... And you're still saying things like that ? You're constantly giving me hope... I can see hope for myself through you, and I've never felt this way.. Not in prison, not in the outside world. That's why I'm here.

Jolyne: ... ... ...

Anasimp: Well, I've been married once before, in prison. Do you want me to tell you a story about that ? H- hey ! What the hell ?! Jolyne, what the hell is this thing doing ?

Jolyne: I don't know.

Anasui: Don't tell me you don't know ! It's eating my hair !!

Jolyne: yeah... I don't know why, but it seems to like to chew on things. It's kind of funny, really. Sorry I wasn't paying attention.

Anasui: You should've told me !

Jolyne: See... It's even chewing on dirt. Does that mean that it's really a plant ? Is it getting nutrients ? But that thing falls asleep all the time, too...

Anasui: ... SHH !! Jolyne... Get down ! Someone's coming !

???: Are you all right ? Jolyne... I've found out who Whitesnake is...

Foo: It's father Pucci. Jolyne, he attacked us. It was father Pucci...

Jolyne: F.F. ?! What... Where is...

Foo: He stayed behind to hold back Whitesnake. But what about you, Jolyne... ? That right eye... here, I'll fix it for you.

Jolyne: What you said just now...

Foo: Yeah... Whitesnake was trying to find the whereabouts of that baby through D&G's memory. And it turned out that the stand user was Father Pucci. All we have to do now is go back at four against one, and we'll win for sure !

Anasui: ... F.F... You were followed.

Foo: What ?!

"Haa... Haa... Haa... What an hassle... This is how you welcome me ? I'm hurt."

Foo: Where is Whitesnake ?

"Decked the bastard in the schnoz and run away. Stay down."

Anasui: ... Jolyne. If what they said is true, then we don't need this thing anymore, right ? We only needed this to lure Whitesnake's user. i'm talking about this green baby. We have no more use for it, so I'm going to kill it. Let me do it, Jolyne... We have no idea what this thing is capable of... My instincts tell me to "Dispose" of it. Right now.

Jolyne: W- Wait... But, Anasui...

Anasui: This thing isn't our ally, Jolyne ! It's not even human... It was never supposed to exist. It was a mistake that this thing was born. It's even less than an animal... We should dispose of something so bizarre. Give me permission to kill it.

Foo: Wait, Anasui... Are you talking about me, too ?! Watch your mouth !

Anasui: I'm not asking for your opinion. Shut up.

Foo: HEY !

Anasui: Don't touch me ! Now's not the time, plankton. You, you understand the situation, right ? You said it yourself that thing terrifies you. Tell me that you agree with me, too.

"... No. I can't do that. Because you're the ones that will die here."

Anasui: Wh... Who did you bring here... ? F.F... You... he followed you here... ?! Sh- Shit... You've really done it now... !

Foo: No... It can't ! No... ! It's not him... ! This guy ! We were all seeing an illusion... !

Whitesnake: ... I'll have to thank you for allowing me to get here. Foo Fighters. I was able to distract this guard and come here before him...

Pucci: 101, 103, 107... Count the prime numbers. Nothing can divide the prime numbers. The reason that people fail... is due to the feeling of "Shame". People die because of shame. They think that they could have done things differently in the past, or they wonder why they did the thing that they did. Because of their regrets, people feel shame. They slowly become weak, and they fail. It wasn't a mistake on my part to let them kill D&G and discover my identity... This is a test... I have to turn things over in my favor, to earn my victory. I haven't lost everything, not yet ! The victor is ultimately the one in possession of whatever was born...

Pucci: It's taken so long... 22 years... To find the source that can elevate humans to their highest potential... This is it ! It must be ! I've finally found it ! The way to got o heaven ! it's still immature and incomplete, but as long as I follow the instructions according to Kujo Jotaro's memories... DIO ! I'll revive you, and use your powers to my benefit !

DIO: hey... Did you know, Pucci ? The Louvre in Paris, gets an average of 40,000 visitors every day. I saw a Michael Jackson concert on TV recently with that many people, but that doesn't happen every day. The Louvre gets that many people for years and years, every day... It first opened in 1793. Everyday, 40,000 people are attracted to the Mona Lisa and Milo's Venus, and they don't leave until they see both of them. Don't you think that's amazing ?

Pucci: Are you saying that what's amazing are the numbers ?

DIO: That's not it... What I'm saying is amazing is how skilled painters and sculptors are able to shape their "Souls" into something visible for others. it's almost like a stand that transcends time... Don't you think so ? Especially the Mona Lisa, of Milo's Venus...

Pucci: that's an interesting theory... Leonardo Da Vinci is a stand user, then ?

DIO: hey... I'm also talking about you, as well. Your Whitesnake has the ability to shape people's souls, and preserve them...

DIO: Are you going to betray me someday ? Why won't you attack me ? You already know that my weakness is sunlight... And you know I sleep in the dark during the day. You'd easily be able to kill me in my sleep... if you take my stand, The World, you can become the ruler of this world... Do it...

Pucci: ... I've never even thought of doing that to you. I like people <ho help me, encourage my growth... You're the king of kings. Where will you end up ? I want to see it through, to the end. I love you as I love God.

DIO: ... I apologize. I insulted you. I never thought that I would meet someone who could put me at ease, just by talking... I was afraid of losing you. I'm sure you'll become an honorable child of God. Take it... It's a token of my apology. I just took it out of my body. Wherever you may go... I will give you power...

Pucci: All I have to do now is to act upon Kujo Jotaro's memories... But first, I have to get whatever was born... Spiral Staircase... Rhinoceros Beetle... Desolation Row... Fig tart...

"Rhinoceros Beetle... Via Dolorosa... Rhinoceros Beetle... Singularity Point..."

Pucci: H- Huh... WHAT ?!

"Really thought you'd seen the last of me, did you ? You can never get rid of me, I always come back, just like the flu."

Pucci: You... But... These words...

"Allow me to read you a really good passage... Hr- Hrm...

'What you need is my Stand, The World. What you can find beyond the power of my stand is where you need to go in order to find Heaven. What you need is a trustworthy friend. He must be someone capable of controlling his own desires. He must be someone who is not interested in political power, fame, wealth, or sexual desire, and who chooses the will of God before the law of humans.

Will I, DIO, be able to meet someone like this one day ?

What I also need is the lives of more than 36 humans who have sinned, because those who have sinned harbor a strong power within.

There are 14 phrases that one must keep in mind. I'll engrave these words onto my stand so I won't forget them. What is most necessary is "Courage"; I must have the courage to destroy my Stand momentarily. As it disintegrates, my Stand will absorb the souls of the 36 sinners and will give birth to something utterly new.

Whatever is born will "Awaken". It will show interest in the 14 words that my trusted friend will utter... My friend will trust me and I will become his friend.

Lastly, I need an appropriate location. North latitude, 28 degrees, 24 minutes, West longitude 80 degrees, 36 minutes...

Go there and wait for the New Moon...

That's when Heaven will come.'

"Quite the interesting story. Rambling of a psychopath at first glance, bu so much deeper after you know the meaning behind these."

Pucci: Th... That book...

"A gift, albeit unknowingly, from an old friend of yours."

Pucci: The diary... Impossible ! Jotaro burned it ! I saw it in his memory !! DIO's diary has been destroyed !!

"You are correct... The original, at least. As soon as Jotaro read it, he decided it was too dangerous, and burned it... But, what he doesn't know, you couldn't get from his memories..."

"he wasn't the first one to go back to this mansion. At the time he found the diary, it has been a few hours since I stumbled upon it, amongst... other pointy items. Enough time to make a copy of the important parts."

Pucci: You were... There... ?!

"... Let me tell you a little story. A story I like to call 'The man become monster'.

*Once upon a time, lived a young teenager. He lived quite the tranquil life, not looking for trouble, nor seeking excitement, just happy with what he had. Then, one day, has it been Fate or just dumb luck, he stumbled upon the first of many, many bizarre events, slowly leading him down hell's pit... But let's not get too much ahead. He's just been dragged to a 50-day long trip to Egypt, to defeat an ancient evil, and even though he never wanted to do it... He still decides to go, because to him, it was the right thing to do. There's just one tiny problem that quickly becomes evident to him... he is not a fighter. He doesn't want to see other people hurt, or to hurt them... And more than anything, the very idea of "Killing" someone terrifies him. Sadly, near the end of that journey... His reluctance to fight claims its toll. The lives of two of his closest friends, he made along the journey, gone right before his eyes. that's when he snapped, and for the first time, dirtied his hands with blood.

"But, these guys were monsters, right ? They weren't humans, I had to take them down... I saved the rest of them by doing it." And it's reassured by this thought that he went on in life, but something within him has started to change already... He was way less hesitant, sometimes even seeking the fight... Continuing to kill these dangerous monsters... Until, one day... It was not a monster anymore... And for the first time, the blood on his hands did not just vanish into nothing under the sunlight...

"But he was a dangerous serial killer, he had to be taken down", he thought, rekindling these strange feelings he had, about a decade ago, something he couldn't quite explain... But he simply put these worries aside, and continued to move on... Slowly starting, without realizing it, to accept the idea of "Killing", finding it easier and easier, slipping down the path leading away from his humanity... At first, it was those who directly threatened him... Then, those who threatened others... Those who simply were standing in his way... Until stealing one's life became as easy and natural as breathing for him, and he came to realize... That in the course of his life, his old innocent self was long gone, lost, and... He has started to enjoy it. To look forward to the next battle, to the blood it will shed... The transition was complete, he has stopped making excuses. He was not human anymore. This time, he has become the monster.*

"Now, why don't we try a little language trick, shall we ? That story could get an improvement, a very simple one... maybe replacing the third person by the first person, don't you think it would be more accurate ?"

Pucci: ... Your story...

"Congratulation. Yes, indeed, the man become monster, it is me. The 'Bad Apple' of the bunch."

Pucci: At least, that explains your worryings about your "Purpose"...

"There's a good reason I was eager to help Jotaro get Jolyne out of prison... I used to hate fighting, but now... It's what I crave. The taste of blood in my mouth, the vibrations through my fist on contact, the sound of my heart in my ears... Now, I look forward to that. And, that scares me. Not because i'm scared to die, I've come to accept death a long time ago. No... What i'm scared of, is... That one day, everyone will be crying over a dead body... And I'll be the one who put it there. I doesn't even hate you, Pucci. In fact, the only one I've ever hated was, I think, DIO himself... So, let's put an end to this, shall we ? A definitive close to this story, that started more than a century ago."

Pucci: All of this doesn't even concern you... You said it yourself, this whole story has nothing to do with you...

"I used to think the same thing. But, that was until the research I did with the ICSF succeeded... Now, I know I can't escape this. I was bound to stumble upon you, sooner or later, it's just the natural way things must go. So, to you, DIO's trusted friend, I think I can tell it. My 'real' name."

"I... Am Y/n 'Joestar' L/n. The man who killed DIO in Egypt, 20 years ago."

Pucci: ... There's no point in being afraid of the inevitable... Spiral Staircase, Rhinoceros Beetle, Desolation Row, Fig Tart...

"Rhinoceros Beetle, Via Dolorosa, Rhinoceros Beetle, Singularity Point..."

Both: Giotto, Angel, Hydrangea, Rhinoceros Beetle, Singularity Point, Secret Emperor...
