When he found its location, Zeppeli wrote a letter to Tonpetty to ask for help in destroying it.
Phantom Blood
Tonpetty, accompanied by Dire and another student named Straizo, went to Windknights to help in the fight against Dio Brando. However, they did not meet with Jonathan Joestar and Robert Edward O. Speedwagon until Zeppeli had died. During the final battle between Jonathan and Dio, Dire was killed but Tonpetty and Straizo still helped kill Dio's remaining zombies. After the battle he burned Dio's clothes as a way to erase his existence. Tonpetty was last seen at the docks together with the others to see Jonathan and Erina Pendolton, now Joestar, off for their honeymoon. Tonpetty's whereabouts after this is unknown, but it can be assumed the he died during the 50-year gap between Parts I and II. Straizo became his successor.
