Shocked that Caesar's master, Lisa Lisa, was a woman following a short fight between the two, Joseph was outfitted with a ripple breathing mask and forced to undergo training harder than anything he or Caesar had ever done should he ever be able to surpass the, pillar, and men after only a month of training. As their first test, the two were thrown into the Hell Climb Pillar, a vertical climb up a sheer pillar coated in oil littered with traps. When Joseph accidentally activated a pressurized wave of oil that created a ceiling above them that could cut a man in half, Caesar carefully used his Hamon to cut through it, while Joseph used his unconventional thinking to slide along it, using his momentum to vault over the the edge, where pressure was the lowest. One step from the top, however, Joseph slipped, only to be caught by Caesar, now officially ex-rivals. At the end of their first week in training, Joseph left his quarters to battle Loggins, his personal Hamon trainer, only to find him dead, with his lungs having been ripped out of his body by Esidisi. After a battle of might and wits, Joseph came out on top, vaporizing Esidisi's body and taking the antidote to one of his wedding rings of death, though the remains of his body were able to escape and take over the body of Suzie Q, Lisa Lisa's caretaker, though he and Caesar were able to come together to defeat him without harming her. With Esidisi defeated and time to gather their surroundings, they discovered that the Red Stone of Aja had been transported to Switzerland, and so the three Hamon masters, along with Caesar's personal Hamon trainer Messina, traveled north, where they would recover the stone with help from Stroheim, though Joseph and the cyborg would have to fight together to repel Kars. Tracking Kars and Wamuu to an abandoned hotel near a ski lodge, Caesar demanded that they attack in the day, when they could potentially out-maneuver them, but neither Joseph nor Lisa Lisa agreed, believing that to be the obvious option that they would certainly be more prepared for. When Caesar made it about his family's pride, Joseph completely disregarded legacy as a worthwhile concept, unaware of their families' intertwined fates, enraging Caesar, who stormed the hotel alone. By the time Joseph caught back up with Caesar it was too late, with only an echo of his Hamon, his headband, and the antidote to Wamuu's wedding ring of death remaining to empower him. |
