This chapter will show the benefits of Caesar still having family around to raise him. Also, it might give you quite the chuckle.

Joseph and Applejack were joined by Jonathan, Zeppeli, Twilight, and Speedwagon, who introduced Zeppeli's grandson, Caesar Zeppeli. A nearby woman with a camera was walking near the fountain, when Caesar asked her, "Where would you be from? Would you like me to take a picture of you in front of the fountain?" Zeppeli sighed. "As you can see, one of my grandson's shortcomings is that he's a hopeless womanizer..." Meanwhile, Joseph was surrounded by a flock of pigeons that seems eager to accept his gift of bread. "The birds in this country sure are friendly. The men are annoying though..."

Jonathan sighed. "And one of my grandson's shortcomings is that he's as subtle as a hammer..." "Granddad!," the two young men said as one, before glaring at each other. "Don't get so cocky," Caesar said, "You only know how to control your Hamon thanks to teachings passed down from my grandfather." "That only means I owe him, not you," Joseph countered. "Then earlier you were just testing Joseph's Hamon?," Applejack asked. "Indeed," Caesar replied, "I'll admit his control and speed is impressive, but he still has a way to go. Perhaps you haven't been absorbing your grandfather's lessons so well?"

He shrugged. "Still, it's good enough that I don't mind teaming up. If only because the threat before us is so great that we need all the help we can muster." "Fine," Joseph agreed, "But it took everything Applejack and I had just to beat one Pillar Man, and the other three are supposed to be even stronger." Caesar smirked. "As my own Hamon teacher said, the best way to beat a stronger opponent is to outsmart them. And I've been developing a few tricks with Hamon that should capable of dealing with the Pillar Men."

Jonathan looked to Zeppeli. "I don't remember you saying anything like that during my training." "I'm not the one who taught Caesar," Zeppeli explained, "He was trained by another master in the Hamon arts." He grabbed Applejack's chin before she could react. "Let me demonstrate." He kissed her on the lips, but got surprised when she plowed her fist into his stomach, forcing the air from his lungs and causing him to drop to his knees. Joseph chuckled. "Your next line is, 'Senorita... How did you resist my Hamon?'" "Senorita...," Caesar said, confused, "How did you resist my Hamon?" He blinked when he realized he did exactly as Joseph predicted.

"First off," Applejack said, "Don't go kissing a girl without her express permission. Second, I already didn't like you because of your attitude. Third, you forgot to take my Stand into account. Jojo tested this before we got here, but when my Stand strengthens my body it makes it resistant to Hamon. Boy, you gotta earn it if you ever wanna try kissing me again!" Caesar chuckled weakly as the others laughed hard. "I guess even a ladies' man like myself must strike out sooner or later."

He stood up and turned to Joseph. "I was actually planning on hypnotizing her so she would keep you in place while I used my technique." "What, were you expecting me to try and avoid it?," Joseph asked, "Go ahead and demonstrate, and I promise I won't avoid it. I'm a little curious as what you have in mind." Caesar smiled. "Very well." He placed his hands together as he channeled his Hamon, spreading them out to reveal a soap bubble. "My gloves and costume hold lots of places to hide soap water," he explained, "By channeling Hamon through that water, I can easily create a volley of soap bubbles."

He launched the Hamon-charged bubbles at Joseph, who kept his guard up as the bubbles struck and surrounded them, before making a larger bubble, which Joseph promptly managed to pop. Caesar looked surprised. "Hey, I said I wouldn't avoid the attack," Joseph noted, "I never said I wouldn't guard against it or try to counter-attack. Still that was an impressive attack. If your plan earlier had worked, I wouldn't have been able to counter it, much less break through the larger bubble due to lack of oxygen."

Caesar nodded. "Out of curiosity, have you been sent to the test on Air Supplena Island yet?" "Not yet," Joseph admitted, "Granddad was planning on sending me before we got alerted to the first Pillar Man's discovery." "I was unable to get the chance yet as well," Caesar admitted, "But it would explain your lack of precision with Hamon." Jonathan remembered well the test of pillar found on Air Supplena Island. After he and Erina returned from their honeymoon in America, Zeppeli tasked him with it as a chance to further his Hamon training. It took a few days, but he finally passed. Twilight had passed months before Dio wore the stone mask.

"Now that we have introductions out the way," Speedwagon said, "We had best get to where the Pillar Men were found. My son Thomas calculated the Mayans' figures, and learned that they will be waking up by the end of the day. Meaning we don't have much time to destroy them while they still sleep." "I'll just smash their stone heads in like I did Santana," Applejack noted, "That should solve the problem right quick." "It may not be that simple," Zeppeli noted, "These other three may be able to withstand even your strength while they slumber."

"Then how do we know Hamon will be effective?," Joseph asked, "Santana was able to deflect my own Hamon until I shoved it down his throat. I'm sure you, Granddad, and Aunt Twilight could fair better since you're stronger, but who knows if they'll be as willing to fight one on one as those dark knights from fifty years ago." "It's all we have to work with for now," Twilight noted, "Sure it's dangerous, more so than when we fought Dio. But those Pillar Men will wake up in a few hours, so we have no time to wait for stronger forces." Speedwagon sighed. "God help us all..."
