Josuke quickly picks himself up as he charged forward over to Sabo. Sabo, on the other hand, dodged it then vanishes. surprising the crowd.
at the bleachers
"he-he disappeared!" Kyoko said
"what the hell is this guy?!" Okuyasu shouts
in the boxing ring
Josuke looked left and right for Sabo but there was no sign of him.
"the hell!? where did he go!?"
suddenly, invisible blows started punching Josuke. Josuke started swinging around at the air to find Sabo but a transparent blow knocked him down once again.
"whoa! no way! our boss is using his transparent disguise to attack his opponent. this fight is only 1 minute old and Josuke is already taking a beating!" Moizu shouts
at the bleachers
"what!?" Kyoko and Okuyasu yelled
"no Josuke!" Koichi cries
in the boxing ring
Sabo re-appears then walks up to Josuke who's down on the ring floor. Josuke looks up at Sabo as he pierced his eyes at him while heavily breathing.
"ahaha! wasn't expecting that, were you? why don't you spare this fight and give up already!" Sabo laughs as he turns Josuke over on his back.
Sabo let out a barrage of punches at him. "SPIN RUSHER!"
"ooh!"
"our boss unleashes his signature move "THE SPIN RUSHER" attack right off the bat. Josuke's helpless to fight back!" Moizu shouts
at the bleachers
"this isn't good. he's not even budging an inch!" Okuyasu said
in the boxing ring
Sabo stops punching him then knocks him over towards the ring ropes.
"consider that a preview of what's to come. it seems like you can take a punch pretty well!"
at the bleachers
the crowd gasped.
"he's beating Josuke to death out there!he did all that punching, all at once!?" Koichi cries
"Josuke!" Kiwi screams
in the boxing ring
Josuke catches himself as he starts panting while catching his breath. his face is bloody and bruised as droplets of blood started dripping down from his head onto the ring floor.
"damn!…"
"his 'Spin Rusher' move…along with his transparent attack is gonna give me more trouble than i thought."
"still, i gotta be more careful were i lay my punches now." Josuke said to himself
he then looks around the large ring and notice that Sabo disappeared once again.
"where'd that bastard run off to now?"
"you won't sneak up behind me again, bastard!…come out and fight me like a man! " Josuke shouts
suddenly, a heavy breeze of the wind is aiming towards his direction. Josuke quickly dodges the transparent attack as the invisible blows continued to punch in his direction.
"did he?…use those transparent blows again?" Josuke said
"right again, Josuke!" Sabo shouts while re-appearing behind him again.
Josuke turns around and sees Sabo behind him. "huh?!"
Sabo delivered a punch straight to Josuke's face knocking him straight to the ground.
at the bleachers
"Josuke!" Kyoko screamed while crying.
Koichi covers his eyes with both hands. "i can't watch anymore! it's too horrible!"
in the boxing ring
Sabo stands over Josuke that's still down on the ring floor.
"my regular punches weren't working that well, so i upgraded my gloves, see Josuke?"
he holds up his gloves that had tiny spikes on them. Josuke, on the other hand is still on the ground. his face is covered in blood as he's heavily breathing while piercing his eyes at Sabo.
at the bleachers
"this is bad!" Kiwi said worriedly
"tell me about it! i can't even look anymore!" Koichi said while still covering his eyes
"Josuke, get up! don't let this bastard take your powers and win!" Okuyasu yells
"remember Josuke, eye of the tiger! rise up to the challenge." Jotaro shouts
in the boxing ring
"c'mon, Josuke! your friends are cheering for you. either you get your ass up and finish boxing or just stay down like a damn weakling that you are!" Sabo gloats while looking down at Josuke who's still down on the ring floor.
at the bleachers
Okuyasu stands up while tightly clutching his fist.
"all this damn cheating is really pissing me off!"
Rohan crossed his arms. "agree. no wonder why he never lost a match!"
"Josuke, speak to me! say something!" Koichi screams
"using his surrounding to his advantage, our boss Sabo slammed Josuke head-on with a strategically blow to the face!" Moizu shouts
"no, he can't lose!" Kiwi said worriedly
in the boxing ring
"all i see is Josuke still down on the ring floor! is he willing to pick himself up and fight back?" Moizu shouts
while still down, Josuke is heavily breathing. a flash back of different events from his memories began racing through his mind.
FLASHBACK
Jotaro: "listen up, Josuke and listen good. you put that boy that's inside of you to bed and now you've woken up as a man!"
Okuyasu: "don't worry, he will! and he'll kick your ass, win this fight and get our friends back!"
Koichi: "listen! Josuke was the first person to call me his friend! Josuke! do something?!"
Kyoko: "i love you Josuke."
Kiwi: "c'mon Josuke please!"
Rohan: "and the same thing might happened to us, if josuke loses this fight."
Koichi: "you're our only hope to get us back!"
Sabo: "what's wrong? don't tell me you aren't man enough to keep your word?"
the Dad: bless you Josuke. how can i thank you?"
the young boy: "thank you mr. Josuke sir!"
Jotaro: "Josuke, everyone's counting on you." (the word "you" echoes)
Josuke is still down on the ground breathing heavy.
"ha! i knew you'll give up sooner or later! you and your shitty ass hairstyle can get the fuck out of my ring!" Sabo said while turning his back then starts walking away.

[boxing bell rings]
"we've seen it all for today, folks. it's the end of the era! Sanwakai Brawl King as been dethroned by the boy with a cool pompadour hairstyle and a tiny crew of seven has seized the day!" Moizu shouts
in the Sanwakai Brawl's Infirmary
an two hours later after the final fight
in the infirmary, Josuke is resting in bed with patches and band-aid wrappings on his head, chest and arms. Okuyasu on the other hand, decided to poke him while he's resting.
"take this! and take this!" Okuyasu shouts while poking Josuke
"leave him alone, you damn idiot!" Rohan shouts
"yeah! he's hurt really bad!" Kiwi shouts
"relax you two, Josuke knows that i do this to him and he doesn't mind—"
Kiwi slaps Okuyasu's head with her purse.
"ow!"
"damn Kiwi! what the hell?!"
"you're gonna be in the damn infirmary next, if you don't stop! i said leave him alone!" Kiwi shouts
Rohan chuckles with his arms crossed.
"ha, that's why i like you Kiwi."
"shh! you guys, not so loud. he's still sleeping." Kyoko said while holding his hand
"indeed. he does need to rest. he did it for all of us." Jotaro said calmly
kyoko holds onto her boyfriend's hand then slightly squeezes it. her butterfly necklace starts to glow as a pink glow appears then enters inside Josuke's body.
Josuke slowly opens his eyes while regaining consciousness from his boxing beating and injuries.
Kiwi sees Josuke waking up. "look! he's waking up!"
"ugh! what happened?" Josuke asked while rubbing his head.
"you did it baby. you won!" Kyoko smiled
"yeah, you finally kicked that Sabo bastard's ass and got Kiwi and Koichi back!" Okuyasu cheered
"it's a good thing that you won 'cause if you would've lost, he would of had your powers by now." Rohan said
"anyway, how do you feel Josuke?" Koichi asked
"suddenly better. like my injuries have been healed or something." Josuke said
"huh, healed?" Okuyasu questioned
"yeah, it's weird. i was in pain at first but suddenly, i feel better." Josuke said
"but Crazy Diamond doesn't heal your injuries though?" Koichi said
"i know it doesn't but i think another stand with a healing power probably did." Josuke said
he looks down and sees Kyoko's hand holding his, then he looks back up at her.
"Kyoko. did you just…?"
"yeah, i did. Butterfly Effect is just like Crazy Diamond's healing power. excluding myself, i can heal other people's injuries as well."
everybody gasped
"wow! that's amazing." Rohan said
"man, tell me about it. i had no idea either." Okuyasu added
Koichi turns to Jotaro. "Mr. Jotaro, does this mean that Kyoko is the only stand user that can heal Josuke's injuries?"
"indeed. actually, she's the first and only one. stand users like Kyoko doesn't come around as often, very rare." Jotaro explained
"i see." Koichi said
the others watched the couple kissed.
"Josuke is very lucky to have Kyoko in his life." Jotaro said
"aw," Koichi and Kiwi said
Rohan smiled.
"okay you love birds. let's get outta here." Okuyasu said while getting in between them.
"Okuyasu, Josuke needs to rest." Koichi said
Kiwi crossed her arms. "yeah, he was in a fight, you know."
Josuke looks and smiles at his girlfriend
"hm, actually you guys. i feel much better already."
Josuke stands up then puts on his yellow wifebeater top on and holds Kyoko's hand.
"c'mon let's get out of here."
on the beach
the group are walking away from the Sanwaikai Brawl event. Sabo and his crew sees them.
"boss,wait! you gotta take it easy!" Sabo member E said
Sabo stops them. "hey Josuke!"
the group paused then turned around.
Koichi,Okuyasu and Kiwi were in self defense mode while Josuke and the others were very calm when Sabo approached them.
"whatever the hell it is that you want, you better not ask for a rematch!" Okuyasu exclaimed
"yeah, you already beat him badly enough!" Kiwi exclaimed
"it was horrible to watch!" Koichi shouts
Sabo deeply exhales as he crossed his arms.
"relax! i didn't stop you guys for a rematch. i came here to say thank you."
the group had puzzled looks on their faces
"huh?!"
"for what?" Koichi questioned
"for putting up a good fight. i wasn't expecting anybody to break my record of 955 wins. i had my doubts about you at first but i must say you pack a real mean punch, boy. gotta give it to you. since you've beat me far and square…"
Sabo gives Josuke a large envelope of money.
"here's your 2,700 and uh sorry for talking shit about your hair."
Josuke takes the money.
"let's shake on it." Sabo said while holding his hand out.
the two guys shook each others hand.
Jotaro and Rohan smiled.
"right on, thanks and it's all good. now you know next time not to disrespect it 'cause if you do, i'll fuck you up again, understand?" Josuke smiled
Sabo nods his head
"alright then, we're outta here."
Josuke and crew started walking away from Sabo and his crew. Sabo stops them again.
"you forgot the rules already?! since i took two of your crew members, you gotta choose either one or all of them! i have 300 members in total! you need to pick 297 out!" Sabo shouts
"he's right! we haven't even made the final exchange yet!" Moizu shouts
"Kiwi! Koichi!" Josuke shouts
Koichi starts sobbing hysterically as he hugged Josuke.
"thank you Josuke!" Koichi sobbs
"no problem." Josuke chuckles
Kiwi giggles.
"Josuke starts out with the two obvious choices. the question is who's next? don't leave us hanging here!" Moizu shouts
"he doesn't need to pick out anymore. he got us!" Okuyasu shouts
"the rules are the rules! i don't care if he needs them or not. he has to pick out 297 exact!" Sabo shouts
Josuke turns around and looks at the Sabo members. Kyoko hugs and holds onto her tall boyfriend while one hand is on her waist and the other points at the members.
"i got it. now. let's see…" he scanned his eyes at the members
Josuke points his finger at the first Sabo member.
"you!"
"me?" Sabo member C questioned
"yep. everybody from you…"
as he goes down the long line with his finger. Josuke stops then points at Moizu the announcer.
"…to you."
"me?"
" how many people is that? "
" we have 300 in total, so excluding Salt, Pepper and our boss, that should leave us with— "
Moizu stops counting his fingers
"oh, that's 297 exactly. well there you go then. King Josuke!"
Josuke smiled and gives him a thumbs up. " ha, right on!"
「 fire works boom 」
"well folks, this is Moizu signing off for the day, and signing on as the Crazy Diamondz new MC!" Moizu shouts
" cheers to the Crazy Diamondz!" ex Sabo members cheers
Okuyasu turns to Josuke. "Josuke. how the hell are we gonna fit 297 of those weirdos in Jotaro's van?"
"who said anything about bringing them along with us. Sabo did say choose, right?" Josuke said calmly
Sabo and his two henchmen were by themselves.
"hey! Josuke! i'll get you back one day! maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but one day! just you wait and see!" Sabo yells
a sweat drop appeared on the back of everybody's head as they all watched Sabo going on his rant.
"that's supposed to be a joke, right?" Okuyasu questioned
Rohan crossed his arms "that man clearly has issues. i'm starting to feel bad for him."
"alright, listen up, you guys! for your first job as new members of the Crazy Diamondz crew is…"
"you're all dismissed!"
"huh?!" ex Sabo members said
"you're kicking us off?" ex Sabo member C questioned
"yep." Josuke replied
"it's his orders so i don't wanna hear anybody complaining." Rohan adds in
"i don't care if you join Sabo again, you can't stay with me!" Josuke said as he looked at his friends
"i don't need 300 people to be my friend. these six are the only friends that i need."
everybody smiled at Josuke's inspiring words.
the Saboko members ran back over to Sabo and his two henchmen.
"we miss you, ex boss!"
"we belong with the Saboko crew after all!"
Josuke and crew watched the Saboko crew crowding around Sabo.
"well, that worked out nicely." Okuyasu said
"yeah, tell me about it. i don't know how that Sabo guy can manage that many people?" Rohan said
"now that, that's done where should we go next?" Koichi asked
"how about a boat cruise!" Okuyasu said
"yeah and view the ocean!" Kiwi cheers
"can we Josuke?" Koichi asked
"a boat cruise it is then." Josuke chuckles
"yay!" everybody cheers
looks like things worked out after all for Josuke and crew. wonder where will they be going next?
