[ Gyro and Lucy sprinted all the way, plunging into the Atlantic Ocean. The turbulent seawater was split in two by the light emanating from Lucy. The pursuing President Valentine also stepped on golden light, heading straight for Gyro in the middle of the ocean.
This narrow path was their final dueling ground. With severely limited space, Gyro's skill accuracy would increase dramatically. At this moment, the President felt a hint of doubt in his heart!
"From the beginning... there's something about Gyro Zeppeli that I find puzzling!"
"After the previous exchanges, Gyro should be aware of the Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap's ability. No matter how many times he attacks, the damage from the Steel Balls will be redirected elsewhere. So why is he turning back to fight? Shouldn't he be running for his life?"
"Also, why is he still on horseback? In previous life-or-death battles, he would dismount to fight..."
"Gyro Zeppeli... he and Steel are completely different types of people! Every action Gyro takes is supported by a theoretical basis, and his confidence stems from his own skills and heritage. Could it be that Gyro is secretly plotting something?"
Walking in the golden light, the President was filled with doubt. The two faced each other in silence, with only the continuous sound of waves filling the air.]

"This is bad! If the President realizes that the other side can hurt him, he will become even more cautious!"
"And the President, based on the brief exchange just now, has seen that Gyro is different from usual. If he attacks the horse, he won't be able to use the Cavalry Spin!"
"Fortunately, the President only suspects something at the moment. He hasn't realized that he's already injured, which means there's still a chance."
The two's silent confrontation also gave everyone an extraordinary sense of tension, just like a Western cowboy duel. Gyro now only had one Steel Ball left! And only one chance.
[ Seeing Gyro remain still, the President stepped completely out of the gap. The sea breeze howled, blowing his long hair. Suddenly, the President felt a coolness on his cheek!
Suddenly, a look of horror appeared on his face. He now realized that his left ear was gone: "When... did this happen?! Could it have been from just now?!"
Looking at Gyro on horseback, the President's relaxed expression completely disappeared, and his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Could it be that his Steel Balls can penetrate the dimensional wall?"]
[ ..... ]
~Projection of All Worlds~
"Too bad, he's been found out. Now that the President is on guard, he probably won't avoid attacks like before."
"Speaking of which, does the President have such a long reaction time? He only feels it now that his ear is gone."
"Now both sides are wary of each other's abilities, so they probably won't act rashly. Every step from now on will be crucial! One wrong step and the whole game will be lost."
[ Gyro decided to strike first! He turned around and launched a charge. He and the President were dozens of meters apart, enough distance for his horse to run and gather momentum.
The rotational power filled his body. Gyro held a ball in one hand and urged his horse with the other, charging straight at the President.
Seeing this scene, the President finally understood the reason. Gyro's attack just now must have borrowed the power of his mount. Now, he had to take down the horse beneath him.
The President, now on guard, no longer relied on the protection of Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap! Seeing Gyro getting closer and closer, the President plunged directly into the waves, using the gap between the seawater and the land to travel to another parallel world!
Seeing that the target had disappeared, Gyro had no choice but to stop his horse and stand by to observe. The sea surged, stirring up layers of white waves. Every wave that crashed on the shore was a corridor for the President to travel through at will.
"There are no Saint's Corpse parts in the parallel world, and there won't be this open space in the middle of the sea. If the President stays in it for a long time, he will definitely drown. He will definitely attack immediately."
Suddenly, Johnny's anxious shout came from behind Gyro:
"Gyro!! Watch out for the President, he already knows the secret of the Spin!"
Taking advantage of Gyro's distraction, the President emerged from under the seawater, and there were two Presidents! He had brought his parallel-world self with him.]

~Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline~
Seeing two Presidents appear, Shirou Emiya muttered,
"Damn it!!"
"What's wrong?"
Rin Tohsaka was a little puzzled. It was just pulling out another President. After all, even pulling out three or four had been defeated by Diego before, so this time, it shouldn't be a problem.
Finally, Shirou Emiya explained,
"The key isn't how many Presidents he pulls out! The key is that Gyro only has one Steel Ball left now. Which means if this attack can't hit the base world's President, it's completely over."
Most of the people outside the screen also thought of this. It has to be said that the President's move was indeed good! Now it depended on whether Gyro could distinguish which was the base world's President!
[ Even Gyro, who was usually calm, panicked for a moment, "There's only one Steel Ball, it has to hit in one shot. Which one is the real President of the base world?"
"Which one is the real one? If I don't determine the target, my mount will be attacked..."
At the critical moment! Johnny immediately shouted anxiously, "Ear!! The President of the base world has an injured ear!"]
[ ..... ]
~Projection of All Worlds~
Johnny's shout made everyone outside the video suddenly wake up!
That's right! The President of the base world had an injured ear; as long as they observed carefully, they could determine which was the real President!
~Bungo Stray Dogs World~
"That's true..."
Osamu Dazai first agreed, then shook his head.
"But that's under normal circumstances! Don't forget. The President can go to parallel worlds to replace his body. Maybe he's already replaced his body on purpose to trick Gyro into attacking first."
[ The next second, the two Presidents jumped out of the water together, rushing towards Gyro from the left and right. As the President got closer and closer, Lucy behind Gyro once again transformed into the Corpse Part, crackling on her face, splitting open a gap, and the golden light of folded space-time shot out from it...
"Ear..."
Gyro carefully observed his surroundings at this moment and finally found that the one on the left did indeed only have one ear left. Gyro was about to attack, but a trace of doubt flashed in his mind again!
"The President can freely travel to parallel worlds and replace his body. The ear can't be used as a basis for judgment at all!"
"The one who has Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap and can use the Love Train is the real one! The light emanating from Lucy's body is the President's path!"
"There's another President behind me!! That's the real one!"]
[ ..... ]
~Projection of All Worlds~
"These people playing mind games are all dirty... a reversal after a reversal! If I were Gyro, I'm afraid I would have died on the spot."
"I didn't expect the President to be so smart! Actually, the first two were fake, and the real body was hiding behind to seize the opportunity."
"But fortunately, Gyro discovered that the golden light erupting from Lucy's Corpse Part was his path of movement! Now the President is doomed."
[ Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap had just emerged from the gap in space when Gyro's Steel Ball came head-on. With the reinforcement of the Love Train, this attack should have been transferred elsewhere, sent somewhere in the world, but the Love Train showed no signs of activating at all.
"What?!"
The President looked at the Steel Ball that had not been transferred, filled with horror! Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap's hand was shattered by the Steel Ball on the spot!
Seeing that the situation was not good, the President immediately pulled Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap:
"Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap!! Immediately hide in the space-time gap!"
Unexpectedly, the Steel Ball pierced through the barrier of space-time and directly hit his head. This was the true power of the Cavalry Spin!
Gyro's Stand, Ball Breaker, awakened at this moment, chasing after the President into the gap! Looking at the green thing in front of him, the President was already sweating profusely!
"How is this possible!... Besides Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, is there any other power that can travel through dimensional barriers?"
Before the President could recover, his body changed. The part that had just been grazed by the Steel Ball was losing hair. The entire left half of his body began to age rapidly, instantly turning him into an eighty or ninety-year-old, and even his teeth began to fall out.]
[ ..... ]
~Projection of All Worlds~
Although it was expected, seeing it with their own eyes still made everyone completely quiet.
"I'm not dreaming, am I! It actually... broke through the defense of the dimensional wall!! Successfully hit the President, is this really something that can be done with skill alone?"
"And that's a Stand!! Gyro didn't expect to finally awaken his Stand at this critical moment! How did he do it?"
"And it looks like the ability is aging! In just a short moment, he's already turned into an eighty or ninety-year-old!"
"Is this the true power of the Cavalry Spin? It not only broke through the defense of the dimensional wall but also allowed the user to awaken his Stand!"
~JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Part 3: Stardust Crusaders Worldline~
The people in other worlds didn't understand how Gyro's Stand was born, but Dio knew very well.
A smirk curled his lips as the wine in his glass swirled like fate itself.
"Stands are the ultimate manifestation of one's will—when a mortal's pitiful 'technique' claws its way to the apex, the soul answers with power. How… amusing."
He crushed the glass, crimson droplets freezing midair.
"Though none shall ever reach my perfection."
~JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Part 5: Golden Wind Worldline~
Prosciutto, looking at the aging President, also understood that Gyro's suddenly appearing Stand, Ball Breaker, actually had the same ability as aging.
"Is it my turn to have the same ability as my Stand, Grateful Dead? What a chaotic world."
He won this time! The President didn't have time to replace his body in a parallel world at this moment. After a while, he would completely die of old age!
[The President, whose body was aging rapidly, covered his body and gasped for breath: "What exactly is going on? This is the Steel Ball Spin that transcends the dimensional wall!"
Even half of Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap's head was blown off! Gyro's Steel Ball returned to his hand, and the President broke away from the gap and fell to the ground.
"Success!! The Golden Spin was successful!"
Johnny, in the distance, shouted excitedly upon seeing this.
Although the main body fell to the ground, there were still two Presidents behind him. Gyro casually threw the Steel Ball with his left hand, and it directly hit one of them in the face, using the rotational power to control the muscles.
This was Gyro's old trick. The President, who was hit directly, pointed the gun at his teammate!
As soon as the gunshot rang, One Ear fell to the ground in response. The Steel Ball rotated slightly, and the President's gun turned around again, pointing at his own temple!
In the huge waves, the two Presidents turned over and fell into the water one after another, sinking to the bottom of the ocean. The winner of this battle was Gyro... Gyro Zeppeli.
Gyro actually relied on his own strength to personally penetrate the guy of God. Johnny, in the distance, also began to shout and celebrate the hard-won victory!
"We won... we won!! We finally won!"
So, did the President's main body die?
Gyro Zeppeli looked in that direction and found that the fallen Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap actually sat up, and the fallen President showed a strange smile, constantly saying something in his mouth.
"One move! Who is the one who is one move short?"
Then he also sat up, looking at Gyro Zeppeli in the distance, "Anyway, it's not me!!"]
