Summary

Before Pucci can take F.F.'s Stand disc and pin down Jolyne's location, he realizes F.F. has been talking to Weather Report through a guard's transceiver. Weather uses his Stand to pour heavy rain over the pair, restoring F.F. and letting them slip away. Seemingly reunited with Weather, the two rejoin Jolyne and Anasui and warn that Pucci is the user of Whitesnake. Anasui declares he will kill the Green Baby, but the Weather standing with them is actually a disguised Whitesnake, who mortally wounds him and F.F.

Pucci then arrives and clashes with Jolyne, who blocks his escape by cuffing herself to him. As she starts to gain the upper hand, Pucci throws Jotaro's memory disc into the dying Anasui, forcing her to break off the fight. Reciting a string of fourteen phrases and offering up his own bone, Pucci merges with the Green Baby and the prisoners' souls held inside it. Spending the last of their strength, F.F. heals Anasui's wounds and rescues Jotaro's memory disc, saying farewell to Jolyne before passing on.
