Beach Boy with The Grateful Dead
Beach Boy (ビーチ・ボーイ, Bīchi Bōi) est le Stand de Pesci, figurant dans Vento Aureo. Il prend la forme d'une canne à pêche que Pescie manie avec expertise, il peut détecter des formes de vie avec la ligne, réfléchir les dommages, et plonger son hameçon dans le corps des gens pour déchiqueter leurs organes vitaux.
Beach Boy a l'apparence d'une canne à pêche avec le nom 'BEACH BOY' gravé dessus (ce détail a été omis dans l'anime) et un moulinet en crâne de monstre, ce qui est sensé représenter la mort.[1]
Pesci invoque Beach Boy en le faisant émerger de sa paume.[2]
Beach Boy est de couleur grise métallique dans le manga de couleur numérique, tandis que l'anime le présente avec un corps bleu foncé et une ligne rose.
Malgré son apparence inoffensive, Beach Boy est un Stand avec une létalité remarquable à courte et a longue portée.
Il peut déchiqueter les organes vitaux de n'importe qui grâce à son hameçon semi-intangible, et il n'y a presque aucun moyen de se défendre contre sa technique de ferrer quelqu'un et de laisser l'hameçon glisser vers le coeur. La maîtrise de Pesci était telle que Buccellati estime que Pesci était encore plus dangereux que Prosciutto et son The Grateful Dead.[3]
As a fishing rod, Beach Boy is not really suited for power, but its deadly sharp hook means Pesci can use it as a dangerous whip.[4] The line can also be used to break someone's neck or choke them.[5]
Beach Boy's signature ability is to phase its line and hook through any object, including walls[2] or flesh.
Pesci skillfully uses his fishing rod to search for a target through obstacles and like a fisherman, ensnares them when the hook makes contact. He is then free to reel in his catch[2] or even tear through the whole body by wildly moving the hook,[6] but as an assassin prefers to phase the hook through his catch's body in order to reach a vital organ and cut it from the inside for a sure-fire kill.[7][8]
Beach Boy's pulling strength is only as strong as Pesci's own arm strength, but the catch will tire themselves trying to pull on the extremely elastic line.[9]
The ability is cancelled immediately if Pesci drops the Beach Boy, and the hook and line disappear, called back to the fishing rod.[8]
By hiding the hook inside a chosen object, Pesci can use Beach Boy to bait and catch people by surprise.[7]
Beach Boy's line is extremely sensitive and transmits information to the handle of the rod for Pesci to see.
The hook and line of Beach Boy act as very sensitive life form sensors, being able to tell Pesci the number of people inside a given room[2] and can even transmit the vibration of a heartbeat.[3] Furthermore, by analyzing the vibrations and strength of the pull on the line,[8] Pesci can accurately guess which body part he is hooking, the catch's weight, their position and their actions to the centimeter.[3][8][10]
Beach Boy's string cannot be destroyed by any usual means, as any damage inflicted to the string will instead affect the one hooked on the string. It is thus impossible to destroy the string once it is hooked into an object or person. This property is a derivation of the line's intangibility: although it will phase through any object, the shock of any attack is transmitted into the catch's body, if the line is damaged by a stand, the effects of whatever the stand's ability is will be applied to the victim instead.[8]
