Summary
A flashback details the past of a certain person.

In 1967 a baby was born inside an all-women prison, whose prison guards were also women. The mother was inside the prison for 2 years already and never saw a man since her entrance, making the birth a mystery. A priest of Sardinia adopted and raised the child, who grew into a timid and dim teenager but who was also easygoing.

At the age of 19, the young man was seen by the priest walking in La Costa Esmeralda with another woman, and deciding that he was big enough to get a car, began to build a garage near the young man's room. Digging into the concrete, the priest found the man's mother who had her mouth shewn shut and was kept alive here for years. This night a fire consumed the whole village and among the registered names was the man's name: Diavolo.

Doppio walks with Bucciarati in the Coliseum, and Polnareff suddenly orders them to stop moving. Doppio hides his face while Bruno present himself. Polnareff is suspicious of the unknown figure near Bruno and asks who is it, and Bruno answers that this is Trish, who is unregistered in the gang, but has proven herself. Polnareff is still suspicious and demands that "Trish" shows her Stand. Diavolo, seeing that the man is an experienced Stand User takes a look and identifies Polnareff holding an Arrow.

Another flashback details Polnareff's whereabouts in Europe. After defeating DIO in Egypt, he collaborated with Jotaro Kujo to track the Arrows. Going to Italy which was suffering a rise of criminality, Polnareff infiltrated Passione and met Diavolo, who almost killed Polnareff and crippled him, leaving him for dead.

Polnareff notices that Bruno's companion has suddenly disappeared and suspects the worst.
