KONO DIO DA!

Chapter 3- Reaching Joestar Mansion

The son of George Joestar I, Jonathan was portrayed as an honest, kind, and positive man whose life was fraught with tragedy after meeting his adopted older brother, Dio Brando. In his battle against Dio, Jonathan becomes a Ripple user under the tutelage of the master Will Anthonio Zeppeli.

Looking at him for a split second, he showed him a calm smile and nodded to him. With the right actions, he would slowly and surely make Jonathan let all his guard open for him and at that time he will strike. Killing all the lifelines of Joestars in one single action before they get any special powers.

With a calm smile, he said, "Yes. And you must be Jonathan Joestar.", he extended his hands for a handshake.

His action made Jonathan less nervous than before as he smiled confidently and shook his hand as he scratched the back of his head with his other hand as he replied, "Yes, I'm Jonathan Joestar. Everyone calls me JoJo. Nice to meet you."

Just as he said that a dog suddenly rushed toward them. The Dog resembles a large and lean harlequin Great Dane with cropped ears. He was white and spotted with black.

This surprised Dio as he had to control his body from hurting him. Unlike the Original Dio, he hated dogs from his heart because a dog almost bit him to death in his previous life when he was a child. This gave him a huge trauma and started to made him hate dogs.

The dog barked at him as it wagged his tail in excitement, almost as if wanting his attention.

"Danny!"

Jonathan was surprised as Danny quickly passed by him and started to circle around Dio as Dio looked at him with a little cautious eye. Feeling no danger from Danny, Dio signed and he tried to caress its fur. Although he hates dogs, he will not just hurt them without any reason especially when the given dog was acting cutely.

As if noticing Dio's attempt to pet him, Danny leaned his head to Dio as he started to cautiously scratch the top of his head. Slowly but surely Dio started to lovingly caress Danny's head as it started to bark in a soft manner in appreciation.

Jonathan chuckled as he saw the scene and said, "This is Danny. Although he might look a bit fierce, he is well behaved and is smart enough to open doors. He is very gentle."

Dio didn't look at him as his attention was drawn to the main door as George Joestar decided to appear now. George Joestar was a middle-aged man of medium build and height. He is short-haired but has a few locks of hair long enough to partially cover his forehead and also has a mustache.

He gave Dio a small smile and said, "I see that you have made acquaintance with both Jojo and Danny, Dio. Please come inside. We will be family from now on."

Dio nodded at him and nodded at him and followed George Joestar inside as he inspected the interior of the house.

The main entrance led up to parallel sets of stairs. The doors open to a great hall with a recognizable chessboard-pattern tiling from which one set of stairs leads to the upper levels. The mansion is luxuriously decorated with carpets and sets of weapons and suits of armor.

Its most distinctive decoration is a Statue of the Goddess of Love in the main hall, which served to impale Dio and imprison him in the burning mansion. The anime added a fountain to the exterior.

"I welcome you to my home, Dio", George stood in front of every servant and continued, "You will be considered as a part of our family"

They stood in front of all the servants working in the house, three butlers and three maids. George looked at them and said, "Everyone, I owe my life to this young man's father. Treat him  as you would JoJo."

All the servants bowed and the head butler replied seriously, "Yes, my lord."

George then looked back to Dio and said, "Dio, this is going to your home from now on. Understand that I will treat you as my own son."

Looking at the sincere and honest man, Dio felt a little bad. He wondered if he should kill the man and all his bloodline.

Shaking his head as he destroyed those thoughts. Joestar's bloodline is not something he should take lightly of. They are the only reason why his original self would have suffered.

Dio gave him a bow as he said, "I'm very grateful for your hospitality, Sir Joestar."

George gave him a small pat on his shoulder and said, "You and Jojo are both young men. I wish for both of you to enjoy each other's presence." Pausing for a second, he smiled a little and continued, "But from what I had noticed, I can already tell that you two are going to be good friends."

Dio gave a smile to George as he then gave the interior of the house a quick glace that suddenly his gaze fell on one of the unique antiques hanging on the side of a wall.

Just a glance at the mask somehow attracted his attention to the antique. It was as if it was attracting his attention, calling out to him to take the mask. Unknowingly a small smile formed on his face as he stared at the artifact.

The Artifact was none other than the thing that played a major turning point for the JoJos.
