The Joestar Protector Book 1

The Problem

   ' Wow, it's been only 28 hours and JoJo still hasn't climbed up. Caesar is at 15 meters but JoJo hasn't started yet. '

   " Y/n. "

   " Yes? "

   " Let's start talking, shall we? "

   " Okay. "

I followed Lisa Lisa across the bridge of Hell Climb Pillar. We went to the center where all four bridges connected. I could see Joseph still standing in the oil on the ground. Lisa Lisa took a seat and I sat in front of her. Surprisingly the top of hell climb pillar was dry. 

   " Now, Master Y/n. I know you learned under William Baron Zeppeli and he learned from the ancient monks. You understand Hamon very well. "

   " Thank you. "

   " What I need to know is where you're lacking. Do you have any idea where you're lacking so I can help you? "

   " Let me think. "

   ( Flashback )

I raised my other leg to kick him as my hands went to my neck to pry his own hands-off. His other hand caught my kick and I couldn't make a connection.

-----------------

In the blink of an eye, I was hoisted into his arms and pressed against his chest. His fingers ready to press against my airway on my neck.

   " I'm afraid not dearest. You will be coming with us, please refrain from struggling. I do not wish to hurt a lady. "

------------------

I saw Wamuu's fingers weren't pressed against my neck anymore. He was too focused on JoJo that he forgot about me.

   ' Good. Now I can get out of this hold. '

   " Hamon jump! "

I put my hands on his shoulders and with my Hamon pushed against his hands and upwards. It all happened so fast it felt like I was in slow motion. I pushed myself away from his hold and landed on the floor. I landed on my feet and I backed away towards Caesar and Speedwagon. Wamuu looked irritated that I had done that.

   " Amore, are you alright? "

I looked at Caesar and nodded my head. I crouched on the ground with him and he wrapped an arm around my shoulders.

   " I'm fine, just a little worn from using my Hamon so much. "

   " Take a breather. All we can do now is watch JoJo. "

-----------------

I tried to get up but my body wouldn't listen to my command. I couldn't get up and my eyes lids were too heavy. I could hear slight shuffling and I didn't know what was happening. The shuffling stopped and then Wamuu spoke once more.

   " Hmm. Must be the light. "

   ' What is going on? '

I continued to hear shuffling and then I was picked up. It wasn't a strong embrace but I could tell this person's breathing was ragged and he had no air in his lungs. I was then dragged away from the voices of Speedwagon and Caesar. I placed into something metal and then the body of the one dragging me got in as well holding me in his lap.

-------------

I couldn't move I could only watch. My hearing was fuzzy and I couldn't understand what was going on. I knew they were talking and JoJo was trying to talk his way out of it. I could see another figure run to find us but they hid behind a pillar. I knew it was Caesar coming to help us. Along with Caesar came the other two pillar men. They landed beside Wamuu but Caesar stayed behind the pillar. As my hearing got fuzzier so did my vision. I could see their figures move and punch JoJo but it seemed he was still alive. I felt my consciousness leave me and blackness cover me.

( Flashback Over )

   " I think my problem is strength and my ability to take a punch. "

   " Why do you think these are your problem areas? "

   " During our fight with the pillar men. Wamuu had taken my knee and my Hamon didn't connect. He also threw me over his shoulder and put his fingers on my windpipe so I couldn't escape. Then when he used his Divine Sandstorm I found it hard to stay awake. Usually, I can take a few hits but his power almost killed me. If his aim was correct then he would have killed me. " 

   " We can work on your strength but I don't think we need to teach you how to take a punch. His Divine Sandstorm is hard to escape and live through. Once you're caught in it it's too late. I'll train with you for more self-defense. "

    " Alright, what are we going to do now? "

   " We are going to take a few deep breaths in and out then we will start training to heightened your strength. "

   " Okay. "

   " Now close your eyes. "

I did as she asked and closed my eyes. 

   " Now, take a deep breath in through your nose and then breathe out through your mouth. "

   " Okay. "

I started to breathe in and out, focusing on the sounds around me. I could hear the oil spilling from the pillar and the breathing of both Joseph and Caesar. The birds were chirping as the sun was setting and I could feel the orange glow on my body. I was in a calm standing. I could feel at ease in my state. The energy of my Hamon was flowing around me and I could feel the power surging.   

   ' This is nice. ' 

My breathing was slow and calm. I could feel the wind blow by me. Then I felt a disturbance in the calm state. I could feel an attack coming my way. It was to my left and it was going to be a kick. I opened my eyes and caught Lisa Lisa's kick before it could even connect to my head. I let her leg go and it went back to her side.

   " Good, you can detect the attack. Now we need to see how much strength you do have. We can work on that tomorrow. "
