Maria, the only female among the Nine Gods, is known as "Leg Sister" because she uses the goddess Basti as her stand-in.
“——！！？”
Maria, who had already set a trap and was ready to watch Joseph fall into it, was no less surprised than Joseph when she saw that she had been discovered.
Her location is generally difficult to spot even if one looks up.
But to his surprise, the other person saw his location before he even turned around.
She even guessed that the socket was her own Stand ability.
Without the slightest hesitation, the moment her identity was revealed, Maria took a step with her slender, beautiful legs and prepared to run away.
After all, her Stand doesn't have any direct combat ability; it can only rely on setting traps in advance and waiting for the opponent to fall into them.
While the ever-increasing magnetic force can be quite troublesome once you're entangled by her Stand ability, its drawbacks are also extremely obvious.
The biggest drawback is that if the other party doesn't touch her substitute socket, then her substitute is completely useless.
In the 21st century, where everyone is glued to their phones, her ability is quite troublesome.
However, in the 20th century when technology was not very advanced, they could only try to create opportunities for their opponents to touch the Stand.
The second drawback is that the scope of her abilities is too narrow.
To continuously strengthen the magnetic force, you must remain within a certain range of your opponent.
If the opponent is a close-range power-boosting Stand, that's fine, but if it's a long-range control-type Stand, she can say she has no chance at all.
Before she could even take two steps, she saw a huge, winged black shadow cast down from the sky, blocking out the sun and completely enveloping her.
It is Xia Yan's stand, "Stairway to Heaven".
The stand-in, resembling a fallen angel, hoisted her onto its shoulder and then flew back to Xia Yan's side. 820
Although it possesses speed, power, and precision comparable to "Star Platinum," from the beginning, Xia Yan's Stand was a long-range control Stand.
Let alone a distance of only a dozen meters, even if she were to run two kilometers first, she still wouldn't be able to escape Xia Yan's grasp.
"Maria, the 'Goddess of Buster,' right?"
Without any mercy, he threw her to the ground. Xia Yan, who was 197 cm tall, and Er Qiao, who was 195 cm tall, stood shoulder to shoulder, looking down at her.
Meanwhile, Jotaro and the others, having heard the commotion, rushed over.
She was surrounded by a group of people, with stand-ins of various shapes and sizes standing behind her.
"Ouch—what a heartless man! He's got such a charming face though..."
Maria rubbed her sore bottom and gave Xia Yan a somewhat resentful look. Anyone who didn't know better would probably mistake Xia Yan for a scumbag who started a relationship and then abandoned her.
"I surrender!" Mariah raised her hands in a French military salute.
"I was just doing this for money. Please forgive me since I didn't cause you any losses."
As she spoke, she obediently pulled out all the throwing knives she carried, as well as the screws, nuts, and other hidden weapons concealed in her chest.
He seemed extremely sincere.
Chapter 107 Xia Yan Sells His Body Again
"So, how do we handle this?"
After thoroughly inspecting the other person inside and out with a disdainful look, confirming that there were indeed no weapons on them, and mentally giving the other person a score for their physique, Xia Yan turned to look at the people around him.
To be honest, it wasn't unexpected that the other side would choose to surrender.
After all, few of the people Dior hired were truly loyal; most were just doing their jobs for money.
In this situation, Mariah Carey's Stand is really not very useful.
The only result of stubborn resistance is a sound beating. It's understandable to choose to surrender after realizing that there's nothing else that can be done.
Seeing Mariah's obedient behavior, Joseph stroked his chin and pondered:
"Hmm... surrendering so easily, it feels a little unreal..."
"No, I really want to know the reason..."
Polnareff said with a dark expression.
Maria blushed and kept glancing at Xia Yan casually, then looking away as if she had done something wrong when he looked at her.
She looked like she was experiencing the stirrings of first love, clearly having already successfully won him over.
Is having a handsome face really that important?!
Thinking of this, Polnareff glanced resentfully at Xia Yan's devastatingly handsome face.
Damn it! Utter defeat...
In that instant, Polnareff felt utterly exhausted and disillusioned.
"Just break a few of her bones and throw her in the hospital."
Jotaro suggested.
As he spoke, "Platinum Star" behind him rubbed his hands together and revealed an innocent smile.
"Huh!? That's too violent! I've already surrendered!"
Upon hearing Jotaro's suggestion, Mariah shrank back and gave Natsuhiko a resentful look.
Xia Yan was somewhat confused at first.
It wasn't my suggestion, so why are you looking at me like that?
Could this woman have a crush on me...?
Thinking of her various unusual behaviors and the occasional glances she gave him, Xia Yan's lips twitched slightly as he speculated.
Just as he was about to say something, he saw Polnareff run to the side and wave at the group, as if he wanted to discuss something with them behind Maria's back.
Considering that even if she were allowed to run, she certainly wouldn't be able to outrun the group in this vast desert, the group simply left her there and decided to hear Polnareff's idea.
After a less intense discussion, Xia Yan was once again sent out as a secret weapon to communicate with Maria alone.
Five minutes later, he gained another female fan.
……
"Darling~, that's all I know..."
After explaining the physical characteristics and Stand abilities of all the members of the Nine Glory Gods, Mariah nestled sweetly into Xia Yan's arms.
Clearly, for the sake of love, she resolutely decided to embark on the great cause of rebelling against Dior.
“That’s enough. Mariah is great, she’s been a great help,” Xia Yan said gently.
"Darling~"
Hearing Xia Yan's magnetic voice, Maria felt as if all her strength had been drained away, and with wet eyes, she offered him a sweet kiss.
Jotaro, who had watched the whole thing from the sidelines, couldn't bear to look and lowered his hat brim.
"Hey old man, he's your son-in-law! Aren't you going to do anything about it?"
"There's no way... Xia Yan should know his limits and wouldn't do anything reckless, right..."
Joseph's lips twitched slightly, but the decision to have Xia Yan use his charm was made after unanimous discussion, and he had voted in favor of it, so he had no reason to say anything more now.
A few minutes later, after exchanging contact information, Maria was dismissed by Xia Yan for the same reason Mitra had given.
However, compared to the more shy Mitra, she seemed much more proactive.
Before leaving, he even left a string of hickeys on Xia Yan's neck.
It was only at this moment that Xia Yan truly realized why his counterpart in the One Piece world referred to Xia Yan's flirting skills in Gintama as the "Nine Swords of Dugu".
His powerful persuasive skills, extensive experience in dealing with women of all kinds of personalities, and that exceptionally handsome face all contribute to his appeal.
It's fair to say that I can now be considered a major weapon against women.
Sorry, Holly.
They forced me into all of this...
After shifting all the blame onto Joseph and his group, Xia Yan mentally reviewed Mitra and Maria's contact information again to make sure he wouldn't forget it.
Following Maria's instructions, the group then cornered one of the Nine Gods, whose hair resembled ram horns and was adorned with bells, inside a hotel.
"Set God" Aresi.
The young man was fast asleep in the hotel when he was woken up by a bucket of cold water and found himself surrounded by six burly men.
Before he could say anything, Jotaro, who was extremely displeased at witnessing his model father flirting with girls twice in a row, unleashed a barrage of Ora's.
Thanks to the "Platinum Star" having a precision of A.
If his precision were even a B, Aresi would probably be dumpling filling by now.
"I surrender! I surrender! This is not good at all! Please stop hitting me! I will do whatever you say!"
With a bruised and swollen face, Aresi knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly.
Seeing his sensible manner, Xia Yan nodded in satisfaction.
"Then you should honestly tell me all about your Stand abilities."
As he said this, Xia Yan and Aresi locked eyes, trying to read each other's thoughts.
Soul-capturing and thought-stealing.
This is the magic that Harry Potter Xia Yan spent a full six months learning and practicing after enrolling in school, along with Occlumency, a spell specifically designed to counter Legilimency.
Although I am not yet able to do what the Soul-Capturing Master does, able to read the thoughts in someone's mind simply by exchanging glances.
However, it also allows this magic to be cast silently.
After all, Xia Yan practiced with real people every day without any guilt, so his progress was quite fast.
However, Xia Yan soon discovered that his preparations were completely in vain.
Because Aresi, that shameless coward, didn't even have the slightest thought of fighting back after being beaten up.
He not only revealed his own Stand ability, but also the Stand abilities of the other Nine Glory Gods.
