Pork Pie Hat Kid
Story
After Fritz von Stroheim's failed attempt to kill Gyro, Pork Pie Hat Kid uses his Stand to kidnap him and steal his luggage and horses. Johnny begins to understand that their enemy wasn't trying to kill them in order to win the race, but he was looking for something they possessed: a mummified hand which entered Johnny's body during their battle against the Boom Boom family. Even Von Stroheim and Oyecomova were looking after it.
Johnny realises the enemy can attack from the distance, by transforming objects like feathers and bugs into baits which produce wired hooks with enough strengh to lift up a horse. Unfortunately, he falls prey of the enemy as well and he's almost giving up the corpse, when a strange creature emerges from the hand, awakening Johnny's ability to throw his own nails and attacking Pork Pie Hat Kid.
Thanks to Gyro, Johnny finds out the enemy's position and manages to seemingly defeat him. Gyro, was however turned into a bait as well, and Pork Pie Hat Kid forces Johnny to give him the corpse, threatening to kill his friend. The hand obtained, Pork Pie Hat Kid attempts to run away, but Gyro had managed to apply the spin to the corpse's nails which killed Pork Pie.
Appearance/Personality
Pork Pie Hat Kid appears like a skinny and short young boy, hiding his bald head with bamboos and wearing a tutu-like skirt.
He doesn't seem to be completely sane, drinking ink and attempting to taste his own fallen teeth, but he's very smart nonetheless. In order to acquire the corpse, he uses all kind of tricks: from using Johnny's horse and burning the ground with gasoline to locate him, to using Gyro as a bait.
Stand
His Stand's name is Wired, and it's formed by two hooked wires connected to a winch inside his mouth. It seems to grant him the power to use plates full of water as dimensional doors to other places, but its range has a limit of 500 meters.
Trivia
- He was responsible for avoiding the president to be wet by Lucy 's falling coffee pot by exploiting his dimensional door power
- Probably because of his Stand being located in his throat, he emits metallic noises while speaking
- He seems to be unable to remember Johnny's name, calling him with strange names like Jyawnee Jyoshter
