L.A. Boomboom

Background

According to Benjamin, the family acquired Tomb of the Boom 1 2 3 while prospecting for a mine in a desert mountain avoided by the local Indigenous people. Mountain Tim later identifies this area as a Devil's Palm. Benjamin says that the mother of Andre and L.A left the family and "became a whore".↗↗↗↗

Steel Ball Run

L.A. enters the Steel Ball Run with his father and older brother. He hopes that Benjamin, Andre, and he will occupy the first three places and collect their combined prize money. During the 1st Stage, the family murders Mark Becker, David Hagen, and Paul Lukather, three otherwise unrelated competitors whose bodies are discovered together with their intestines stretched behind them.↗↗↗↗↗↗

During the 2nd Stage, the family pursues Gyro Zeppeli for a $200,000 bounty offered by Oyecomova. L.A. and Benjamin join Andre's ambush of Johnny Joestar and Gyro. Benjamin orders them to spread out around the pair, reprimanding L.A. for remaining beside him. L.A. proposes that Benjamin finish first, Andre second, and he third, and asks how much the combined prizes would be; Benjamin answers $5,150,000 while insulting him.

L.A. questions how they will catch up to two favorites to win the race. Benjamin mocks him and explains that he intends to make their pursuer attack the pair instead. Impersonating Johnny, Benjamin exposes Mountain Tim to the same magnetic ability. When the three magnetized targets begin drawing together, L.A. asks to get closer so that he can watch their organs burst out.↗↗↗↗

After Andre weakens from his injury, L.A. accompanies Benjamin to confront Tim, Johnny, and Gyro. He draws a shape in the sand and uses Tomb of the Boom 3 to restrain the trio with iron sand. Tim fires at him, but Benjamin protects him with his Stand and orders him to sever Tim's rope. Benjamin prevents Johnny from using a bullet as a weapon, but Johnny's newly awakened Tusk cuts Benjamin in two.↗↗↗↗↗

Enraged by his father's death, L.A. grabs Johnny and attempts to tear blood from his arteries. Johnny uses his spinning nails against the ground to propel himself above L.A., then cuts through the front of his left foot, leaving him unable to walk.↗↗

As the trio leaves, L.A. threatens revenge and reveals that the family attacked Gyro because someone from Gyro's country offered $200,000 for his death. Tim explains that the surviving Boombooms cannot escape the desert, have little water left, and cannot be found by rescuers, leaving them to die of thirst. L.A. continues shouting after the trio as they depart.↗↗
