105 MUP: Chapter 104. Sticky Fingers

As the man's voice fell...

Behind him, a grey and blue humanoid creature emerged, with a huge zipper hanging around its waist and a strange "Ari Ari Ari!" cry. It waved towards the walls of tall buildings.

The Stand, sometimes called the Ghostly Ripple, comes from the special power in [JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]. It was an image condensed from the life energy in a living body. People with a Stand ability were called Stand users.

By hitting, the hard wall started to look soft like fabric, followed by a huge metal zipper appearing on the wall. Grasping the zipper with one hand, with the great frictional resistance brought about by the zip, the man slid down from the top of the tall building with a calm expression.

Halfway down, the man looked towards his right, found where Obadiah and Tony were, released the zipper in his hand and leapt with a shout, "Sticky Fingers!"

Then, the Stand reappeared and struck out violently toward the opposite billboard.

With the punch, the huge zipper that had appeared before reappeared on the billboard. The Stand waved his hand and unzipped the zipper. In the next instant, the man's figure disappeared into the billboard.

　　...

"Speaking of, I should really thank you, Tony. If it weren't for your blueprint, I wouldn't have been able to make this armour."

Holding the car high, Obadiah walked towards Tony, "Maybe I should call this armour Iron Monger? As the last piece of your legacy for Stark Industries and me."

'Iron Monger? The name is as bad as your morals. '

Silently thinking that way, Tony looked at the car Obadiah was holding up and whispered a command to Jarvis, "Divert power to the chest ...."

Just as Tony was going to blast Obadiah with his chest Repulsor Transmitter, a huge zipper suddenly appeared on the side of a car that had been knocked over on the side of the road. It was followed by a familiar zipping sound, and a man in a white spotted suit with a bobbed haircut stepped out of it.

"Tony Stark?"

Walking into the two men, the man looked at Tony and said, "My name is Bruno Bucciarati. I'm following a lead on an item ..."

There was no doubt that the man who appeared between Obadiah and Tony was also one of Ryan's clones.

During the day, his clone would be Dum Sum Master [Shell], and at night, he would be the Stand User [Bruno Bucciarati].

"Get out of the way!"

Looking at Bruno, who suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, Tony had no time to explain. He could only shout out a warning.

However, on the other hand, Obadiah obviously didn't have such patience. He looked at the eccentric man in the middle and threw the car in his hand over without hesitation, "You two... should go to hell together."

When Obadiah threw the car toward them, Tony rushed up to block it. However, someone was clearly one step ahead of him. Bruno turned to look at the flying car and the mother and children sitting in it, screaming in despair. With a slight hook at the corner of his lips, he softly called out, "Sticky Fingers!"

As Bruno's voice fell, the blue and grey Stand once again emerged from his back and threw a vicious punch at the flying car.

"Ari Ari Ari Ari!"

As the Stand's fist hit the car, the hard car's shell gradually changed, turning into a soft cloth-like material. The hard impact that Obadiah would have caused turned soft as the car's form shifted, eventually reducing it to a modest cloth swoosh.

This was another characteristic of Bruno Bucciarati's Stand [Sticky Fingers]. By hitting objects, the substance of objects could be temporarily changed and turned into something soft like cloth.

"What?!"

[Reputation points from Tony Stark +265]

[Reputation points from Obadiah Stane +315]

[Reputation points from New York citizen +0.05]

[Reputation points from New York citizen +0.05]

Tony raised his hand and caught the lightly falling car, then looked at Bruno, standing in the middle of the road, with a shocked expression.

"Jarvis..."

"I'm sorry, Sir. I can't analyse how he did that."

[Reputation points from Jarvis +35]

Only the Stand Users could see the Stands, so Tony and the others couldn't see Sticky Fingers emerging from behind Bruno. All they could see was that, when the car was thrown at Bruno, he whispered something, and then with a few sharp punches, the car turned soft.

At this moment, Tony was still stunned by Bruno's ability.

On the other hand, Obadiah had already reacted to his previous surprise and raised his hand. The Iron Monger's huge mechanical arm, carrying a powerful force, swung toward Bruno.

Boom --

The tremendous impact caused a huge crack to appear on the asphalt. However, Bruno wasn't in it.

"How is that possible!"

Seeing the results, Obadiah's surprised shout emanated from the huge Iron Monger armour. He clearly saw the other party standing there, how could he suddenly disappear??

In amazement, Obadiah looked up and scanned his surroundings through the sensors in the Iron Monger's mask. Yet, he still couldn't find Bruno.

At that moment, a huge metal zipper appeared at Obadiah's feet. Then, Bruno poked out of it, striking down at the legs of the Iron Monger's massive metal armour.

"Sticky Fingers!"

The Stand's ability was activated, and a golden zipper appeared on the Iron Monger's leg. As the zipper was pulled, a familiar zipping sound was heard, and the leg of the armour was easily removed.

"What the fuck?!"

Because of the massive size of the armour, Obadiah wasn't fitted to the armour as Tony was. Thus, even if Bruno had only removed one leg, Obadiah couldn't keep his balance. He staggered with heavy steps, then fell to one knee.

Propped up with one armoured knee, Obadiah saw Bruno. His expression twisted as he saw the man in the white suit poking out half his body through a zipper hole on the asphalt, "Damn you! You bastard! "

'If this guy hadn't ruined it, Tony would be dead by now!'

With Obadiah's roar, a powerful anti-tank missile rose up from the Iron Monger's shoulder and locked on to Bruno.
