Jonathan's carriage suddenly comes to a stop, as the driver refuses to carry onward: they have arrived at [[Ogre Street]], a particularly dangerous area of the city. Jonathan decides to continue alone, driven by his conviction to save his father. Back at the [[Joestar Mansion|mansion]], Dio learns of Jonathan's destination and assures himself that Jonathan is either dead or dying.
While walking along the maze-like Ogre Street, Jonathan is set upon by a trio of muggers with their [[Robert E. O. Speedwagon|leader]] giving his friend [[Tattoo]] the honor to gut their victim. Determined by his cause, Jonathan risks injury by grabbing the blade of Tattoo's knife while taking him and the Chinese man out. Jonathan that faces their leader as he attacks with his razor-bladed bowler hat, only to realized that he justly deserved the beating he takes from facing such an opponent. Introducing himself as [[Robert E. O. Speedwagon]], he tells the arriving mob to not harm Jonathan since he did not killed him or his friends. Jonathan explains that is he simply helping his father, and he figured Speedwagon must also have a family that cares for him. Amused by Jonathan's naivety and nobility, Speedwagon offers to take Jonathan to the apothecarist he is looking for.
 
While walking along the maze-like Ogre Street, Jonathan is set upon by a trio of muggers led by one [[Robert E. O. Speedwagon]], who sends his friend [[Tattoo]] to slice their victim up. However, Jonathan grabs Tattoo's blade, unconcerned at the prospect of losing his fingers. The third mugger, a [[Kempo Fighter|Chinese martial artist]], attacks Jonathan from behind, but Jonathan defeats him and Tattoo with a single punch.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 8}}</ref> Jonathan resolves himself to fight Speedwagon, who reveals razor blades inside his bowler hat. Speedwagon throws the hat at Jonathan, piercing his arms down to the bone; Jonathan nonetheless charges the mugger and takes him out with a kick. Other residents of Ogre Street emerge and surround Jonathan, but Speedwagon calls them off, noticing that he and his friends have only light injuries. Jonathan explains that he was concerned about the muggers' families, shocking and impressing Speedwagon with his mercy and naivete. The mugger and Jonathan introduce themselves to each other, and Speedwagon offers to take Jonathan to the poison dealer he is looking for.
