Ghiaccio's expression became even more dramatic. His mouth slightly agape, he made a surprised sound in his throat and asked, "Then you're a vampire too?"
Huh? Was that the key point?
As if Ghiaccio had discovered a blind spot, everyone looked at Johnson, waiting for an answer.
"Indeed," Ghiaccio still had a surprised expression. "I knew it! You're much paler than normal people, your red eyes are brighter than anyone else's, and your body temperature is lower!"
"You reek of not being human!"
Johnson twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, shook his head with a headache, and said, "I am a human, Ghiaccio."
"Indeed, you are not an ordinary person," Melone said. He knew it the moment he licked Johnson. "Go to the hospital for a check-up. Maybe you really inherited something. Your physical condition is not quite like an ordinary person's."
"Are you referring to?"
"Much better than average," Melone said.
"Yes, Johnson," Mista quickly interjected, "Last time I saw you, you were bleeding so much but seemed completely fine. It was really worrying."
Johnson Joffrey was also a bit puzzled. He raised his arm and looked at his pale arm. As a Caucasian, being pale is normal, and he was indeed among the palest people here, but Prosciutto was almost as pale as him.
He carefully recalled the plot of the original work. It seemed to have stated that vampire physique is not hereditary, right? And I'm not afraid of sunlight. My physique is just the Joestar Family physique.
"I am a human, Ghiaccio, Mista," Johnson Joffrey said.
Formaggio was silent for a long while, then walked up to him, poked Johnson Joffrey's face, and mused for a long time, "So this is the son of a devil."
"You said you are Dio's first son. Then Dio should have more than one son, right?" Prosciutto asked.
Johnson Joffrey nodded. Because Part 6 had not been animated, his impression of it was not as deep as the first five parts, but he still clearly remembered that Part 6 was full of Dio's children.
"Many. My mother said I was the first, kept for experiments, and a few others were eaten. After Jotaro came, a few more ran away."
"!"
The Assassination Team was shocked.
"Eat, eat, eat... eaten a few?!" Mista said, trembling.
This was indeed what Johnson Joffrey's mother said. There were many of Dio's children at the time, and Johnson Joffrey was indeed the firstborn, so he was kept for experiments until Jotaro reached Dio's mansion. Only then did she take Johnson Joffrey to escape Jotaro's clutches.
Indeed, for a woman whose body and mind had been imprinted with Dio's form, Jotaro was indeed a nightmare.
Johnson Joffrey was born not long after Dio reawakened from the seabed. He was the first Joestar Family child Dio obtained. Perhaps because he was the first, Dio found him peculiar. Although Dio badly needed Joestar Family blood at the time, he did not drink it but kept Johnson Joffrey instead.
But what exactly happened, Johnson Joffrey was even more ignorant, after all, he was no longer the Johnson of four months ago. However, he probably thought it was for reaching Heaven, or for his future resurrection, and thus kept him for research.
"As expected of a devil," Ghiaccio muttered.
Formaggio and the others sighed for a while longer.
The Assassination Team's reaction to Johnson Joffrey confessing his lie was not too great, because, in comparison, Johnson Joffrey being the son of a devil was even more shocking.
Everyone's suspicions about his otherwise questionable aspects shifted entirely to his father being a vampire. Moreover, Johnson Joffrey's behavior was too good; they couldn't see any special relationship between him and the Boss.
"Then are you really human?!" Ghiaccio asked unwillingly.
Johnson Joffrey sighed helplessly, his crimson eyes closing slightly, then opening even brighter. He put his hand on his chest and said, "Ghiaccio, I really am human."
Ghiaccio stared at him for a moment, then also found it amusing and said, "I don't care if you're human or not, you're still a comrade in the Assassination Team."
"Well," Mista, as Johnson's first subordinate, quickly chimed in, "Yes, Johnson, you really aren't an ordinary person."
"For us mere mortals, Dio might not be a devil, but rather a god," Mista suddenly said, "Johnson should be the son of a god."
In italian, Dio means God. When Johnson first told Risotto that Dio's subordinate had killed his adoptive father, Risotto was also stunned.
Because in italian, Dio = God.
"That's right," Melone licked his lips, seemingly more interested in Johnson. He said in surprise, "Think about it, Jotaro said Dio was a devil, and Jotaro also defeated Dio. The victor writes history; we can only nod to whatever he says."
"Who knows if he really was a devil."
"Hey, hey, Melone," Illuso said, "A person with normal morals wouldn't treat their own child as food, right?"
Melone chuckled softly, then said to everyone, "Is eating one's own child not normal?"
Assassination Team: "…"
As expected of you, Melone, you really are a pervert.

When the helicopter arrived at the port, a certain area had already been reduced to ruins, and there were no places left for Moody Blues to replay. If they wanted to replay, they would have to completely reorganize the area.
"The destructive power of these guys is too exaggerated, isn't it?" Narancia said, "Johnson Joffrey's ability is indeed explosions, right?"
"This is to prevent Moody Blues." Fugo jumped out of the helicopter, followed closely by Abbacchio, while Bucciarati and Giorno had already gone to the center of the ruins to investigate.
"Giorno, can you still sense it?" Bucciarati asked, standing behind him.
Giorno frowned in thought, then looked into the distance, closing his eyes to feel the scent carried by the sea breeze.
"They are no longer here," Giorno mused, then said to Bucciarati, "They might have gone in that direction."
Bucciarati sighed deeply, a step too late. If he truly couldn't catch the Assassination Team and they ended up taking the Boss's daughter, the Boss's wrath would be unimaginable.
After all, she is his daughter.
"Bucciarati!" Giorno called out, then pushed aside some rubble and discovered a circular platform made of ice.
Bucciarati frowned, and after crouching down to examine it, he murmured, "This was left for us by the Assassination Team. Mista has told them all of our intelligence."
Abbacchio quickly came over and used Moody Blues to replay the scene.
That familiar person reappeared, a powerful figure standing on the ice platform, his slightly downturned lips carrying a practiced silence and a sense of oppression.
—The leader of the Assassination Team, the infamous assassin, Risotto Nero.
He spoke with a sneer—
"You're the one tracking us, aren't you, Bucciarati."
