Empress, Part 1 (Chapter)

Hol Horse's Girl (Empress (1) in the JoJonium release) is the one-hundred-forty-sixth chapter of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga. It is also the thirty-third chapter of Part III: Stardust Crusaders.

Summary
Hol Horse finally catches up to Jean Pierre Polnareff and Noriaki Kakyoin, confident that they are ignoring him out of fear. After Hol Horse insists on fighting them and starts shooting at glass with Emperor to help Hanged Man's attack, Polnareff tells him that J. Geil is already dead and his body a short distance from them. As Polnareff prepares to fight him, Hol Horse runs away under the pretext of checking his partner's body, but is stopped in his tracks by Jotaro Kujo and Joseph Joestar, who have just arrived after burying Muhammad Avdol.

Surrounded on all sides, Hol Horse watches helpless as Polnareff sentences him to death and goes for the killing blow, but he is stopped by Nena, allowing Hol Horse to escape. Polnareff tries to run after him even though the woman continues to hold his leg, and, in the confusion, gets hurt to the point of bleeding as he tries to drag her along the ground. Joseph tells Polnareff to just forget the enemy, who doesn't want to fight anymore, and treats the woman's wound. The group leave, unaware that a drop of Nena's blood has fallen on Joseph's arm. A talking wart grows from it, and eats a fly when it comes near. As the group continue their journey, Nena reveals another talking wart on her tongue, which makes an ominous noise.
