The Blade's Edge (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders x Male O/C)

Chapter 2: Encountering the Competition

Gladius POV

Getting a flight from Egypt to Hong Kong on such short notice seemed impossible. However it seemed luck was on my side, I found a flight with one seat left available for the next evening. So without hesitation, I booked the tickets and that evening, off I went.

During the flight, I had a lot on my mind. Firstly, Enya seemed convinced the group lead by that 'Joestar' would be stopped in Hong Kong. It seemed I wasn't the only mercenary being hired for this task. How many more were there?

There was also the matter of DIO himself. Something unsettled me, when he spoke. Were those, fangs? I pulled out my ancestor's diary and flicked to that one entry that had puzzled me for years. One of the first entries he wrote. 

Reading it again, it seems I'd have to keep an eye on DIO for the time being. Doing this job for him, may give me the answers I needed. I turned the page and flicked through the diary to a page at the very back, where I'd attached something of my own.

I'd had these gifts since I was born, of course I now knew they were called Stands. However there was a specific reason why I continued to be a Mercenary, my son, Sylvester. Out of the money I made, most of it was for him. I couldn't be there for him, but I did my best to provide support.

I'd gotten lost in my thoughts until we were informed we would be coming in to land. Putting the diary away, I looked at the photo DIO had provided, the four who would supposedly be my targets...

Timeskip...

Upon arriving, the first thing I did was plan. I'd thought about this on the plane, if they'd been forced to be landed here. Then it's possible they may not take a plane a second time. What other methods could they use? A boat?

I focused my search on the docks. It was unclear what ship they'd be taking so I remained vigilant for anything that could give me a lead. And it seemed, after about an hour, I found it. I eventually came across a man overseeing one of the ships.

He wore a blue shirt with a red scarf and your typical sailor's hat. If I was to make a guess, I'd say he was the captain of this ship. I figured I'd ask if he saw anything that could help. I walked over and spoke up "Hello."

The ship captain turned to me, for a moment he seemed confused however he responded "Oh, hello. Is there something I can help you with?" I reached into my pocket and fished out the photo of Joestar's group.

"Yes actually. I'm looking for the four in this picture. You wouldn't happen to know anything would you?" For a moment, it seems something flashed through the captain's eyes. He scanned the photo and was about to respond however one of his crewmen cut him off, asking.

"Captain, you okay down there?" The Captain turned to the sailor and responded "Yeah, yeah. Tell the rest of the crew to go down to the hold and make sure everything is secure. I'll come aboard once I've finished up business here." The sailor replied "Yes captain." Before going aboard.

The captain then proceeded to walk around me, speaking "I might know something, those same people have hired my services recently. They'll be here within a few hours, we were just making the final preparations before they arrive. Which leads to tying up one last loose end."

My eye twitched for a moment before a sudden loud splash was heard! I turned around, my Stand appearing in an instant. However it was too late, a large blue figure lashed out, gripping onto both my Stand's skeletal wrists and restraining it in place!

Behind me, I heard the Captain speak "So, you're another Stand user as well huh? I'm surprised. But it doesn't matter, whatever your Stand can do, I assure you that underwater, my Dark Blue Moon is supreme!"
