02Appearance
Sale is a man of slim build with spiked hair on the sides of his head that fall away halfway up. After being shot by Mista, Sale has a notable bullet wound above his left eye that remains for the rest of his appearance.↗
Sale wears a sleeveless shirt with an exaggerated V-neck. It is hollowed by his hips. The shirt, pants, and arm warmers are decorated with a star motif.↗
03Personality
Sale shows a certain degree of intelligence and cunning; firstly having predicted that Bucciarati was the most likely of Polpo's subordinates to have hidden the treasure and guess that he would act to seize the treasure. Despite hearing from Zucchero that he'd practically defeated Team Bucciarati, Sale was also careful enough to not reveal himself on Capri, even taking the precaution to try contacting Zucchero secretly when Giorno tried to lure him out.↗↗↗
He has also mastered his Stand to a high degree, not only using the obvious effect of locking people into places and protect himself from projectiles, but also using Kraft Work to use rocks as stepping stones or purposefully locking a projectile in place to tap and accumulate kinetic energy.↗↗↗↗
However, Sale also demonstrates some degree of overconfidence in combat, explaining his every move to Mista and claiming his Stand 's superiority.↗↗
04Abilities
Stand
Kraft Work is a humanoid close-range Stand which can manipulate the kinetic energy of any object it touches into locking in its fixated position or charging it to release with greater kinetic force.↗
05Story
SPOILERS
Vento Aureo
Sale and his partner Mario Zucchero are gangsters belonging to the gang Passione and are both Stand users.↗
After Polpo 's death, the two discuss the consequences of that death. Sale explains that rumor has it that Polpo had a stash of treasures that is now open, and that Bucciarati is the most likely gangster to know about it. Eager to take the treasure, Zucchero leaps out of the still-moving car, leaving a stunned Sale to take the wheel himself. Zucchero eventually calls him through the radio and informs him that Team Bucciarati is headed for Capri on a sailing boat.↗
At the marina, Sale hears the manager of the radio mention an urgent call from "Mr. Zucchero". Surprised and suspicious, Sale enters the radio room in secret through the back door and tries to have Zucchero explain himself. However, it is a setup from Giorno and Guido Mista. Sale sees Mista through the room's window and Giorno shouts through the radio to warn his partner.↗
Sale deducts that he must kill Mista to regain his anonymity. Mista shoots again three times, but Sale reveals his Kraft Work and easily deflects each bullet. His gun empty, Mista tries to get away from the truck but realizes that he's stuck to the handle. The driver too is stuck in a driving position, and bullets are seen floating alongside Sale. Sale gloats about the treasure and throws a Stand punch, but the gunslinger reveals that he's hidden bullets inside his hat.↗
Sale manages to catch on the truck because of the winding road and by throwing locked pebbles in the air to scale them. Sale reveals that Kraft Work has been tapping a bullet for some time. Releasing the bullet, he manages to shoot Mista with his own bullet by stocking kinetic energy up. Hit in the gut, Mista misses three shots while Sale jumps back onto the truck.↗
Sale then resumes tapping another bullet to finish off Mista, but the gunslinger, encouraged by the fact that he hasn't four bullets anymore, proudly announces that his last shot will be the decisive one. Mista shoots, but Sale opens his mouth, showing that even if he was hit inside his body, Kraft Work would still block the bullet. Announcing his victory, Sale releases his own bullet, but Sex Pistols has hijacked it, exploiting Sale's overconfidence and kicking it back into him.↗↗
