The Battle on Ogre Street (The Stone Mask - Part 1 in the JoJonium release) is the eighth chapter of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga. It is also the eighth chapter of Part I: Phantom Blood.
Summary
Jonathan goes to his father, telling him that he'll be going to London for two or three days, and asks him to allow the doctors he brought to take care of him. He also tells George not to accept any medicine from anyone other than the doctors. George decides to follow what Jonathan is saying, trusting his son. Jonathan leaves for London and promises that he'll protect his father. In the Joestar Mansion, Dio reads the notes that Jonathan had written about his research of the Stone Mask. He decides to kill Jonathan by putting the mask on him and letting its tentacles kill him. That way, no one would suspect Dio of killing Jonathan.
In London, the carriage that is carrying Jonathan stops, and the driver refuses to go any further into the dangerous Ogre Street. Jonathan decides to continue on alone, even if it costs him his right hand. After hearing that Jonathan is in Ogre Street, Dio decides that Jonathan is either dying or dead, and he won't have to kill him after all.
Jonathan sees the danger of Ogre Street when he sees a cat eating a puppy. Shortly after that three men attack him, intending to kill him, one of which happens to be his future ally Robert Edward O. Speedwagon. Jonathan, determined, risks injury to himself by by grabbing the blade of one attacker. Another of the three, a Chinese man, attacks Jonathan. However Jonathan's efforts earn the admiration of Speedwagon and his companions, and the aforementioned kempo master and he tells Jonathan the location of the oriental poison store.
