After capturing Enyaba, JoJo's group acquired a carriage. They then arrive in Karachi, the coastal town that leads Pakistan in commerce and industry, which lies near the Indus River delta.

"Hey, a doner kebab place! Why don't we stop and get something to eat?" Joseph said. He stopped the horses and hopped out.

"Doner kebabs are the hamburgers of the Middle East! A slab of meat is placed on a spit, and its surface roasts as it turns. Then they shave off the cooked meat and eat it on bread. It is quite a delicious dish." Snap Shot said.

"Excuse me. I'd like six of those." Joseph said.

"Six will cost you a thousand yen." He said.

"A thousand yen?" Joseph said confused.

In the Middle East, the logic of Japan and the West doesn't apply at all. Namely, prices are very unspecific. Foreigners who come here for the first time, with no understanding of the art of haggling, have no idea what things cost and are easily exploited. But in this world, such exploitation is not seen as a bad thing. The one who was tricked into buying is seen as a idiot. I will now explain how to buy things!

"A thousand yen?" Joseph said while taking off his hat.

In situations like this, for instance, act like you see through the trick...

"Hahaha! Don't mock me, now! That's far too much."

...and laugh out loud. And then...

"How much would you buy them for?" The guy asked.

...they will ask the customer how much they're willing to pay.

"Make it 250 yen for six!" Joseph answered.

In return, the customer names a price so low, you'd feel a bit guilty even saying it. And then...

They'll take the attitude, "Seriously? Have you no sense?" and act as though you're mocking them... "If I sold them for that much, my whole family would starve to death!" Then they will gesture as if their head were being cut off. But you mustn't give up yet.

"Then maybe I'll just buy them somewhere else." Joseph said.

Act like you're leaving...

"Okay, friend! I'm very kind to foreigners. I'll sell you six for 700 yen."

...and they'll say that to try and stop you.

"Make it 300." Joseph said.

Let the haggling begin!

"600!"

"350!"

"550!"

"400!"

"450!"

"425!" They both said.

"I'll take them!" Joseph said. "All right! I got them for less than half of his original price! Take that! I made out like a bandit!" He thought.

And just as you think that...

"I usually sell six for 150 yen!" He thought. "Bye-bye, thank you!"

Joseph walked back to the carriage but stopped when he saw Enyaba was awake.

"Hey! That old lady's awake!" Joseph said. Everyone turned over to Enyaba who was sweating bullets.

"I-I... haven't said anything! Wh-Why are you here before me? Do you think that I, Enyaba, would actually tell them the secret of Lord DIO's Stand?" Enyaba said. They all looked over to the Kebab guy who was taking off his disguise. Enyaba had tentacles growing out of her, which broke the carriage. They jumped out of it.
