Ch. 60: "Islands in the Sky."
A few days later, the Capricorns and their temporary crew members were preparing to dock at the island where they would have to say good-bye to Apple, Inaba, and Hito.
"So, Yuki-Rin, tell us – Who is Julietta?" Sebastian asked Yuki-Rin.
"Is she cute?" Holden asked Yuki-Rin.
"Can I get her number?" Soren asked in a flirtatious way. The three Sarutobi siblings began laughing.
"I think we all need to ask this one question – What kind of job does this Julietta person have?" Mina asked everyone.
"Julietta Blanchette… My childhood friend… Last time I checked, she decided to join a pirate crew as their musician. She's good at playing the piano and the violin," Yuki-Rin explained.
"Awesome! She can play us music!" Holden cried joyfully. Soren sighed as he patted Holden on the back.
"Heathcliffe, you have Aki, and Holden may get Julietta. Why must I be the single one?" Soren asked.
"Because you always give the best advice about our love lives?" Heathcliffe guessed. Soren ruffled his hair.
"Looks like my baby bro is growing up!" Soren commented. "So, when's your next date with Aki?"
"Well… Probably sometime while we're on the next island. We haven't been on a date in a while," Heathcliffe explained. Soren began fake crying.
"My little brother is all grown up! I'm totally taking pictures the night of the date!" Soren cried. Heathcliffe sweatdropped.
"Okay, Soren, what the fuck is wrong with you?" Heathcliffe asked his older brother.
"Hey, guys… Where's the island?" Yuki-Rin asked her crew as she pointed to open ocean.
"That's funny. The Log Pose is pointing to where you're pointing, but I don't see anything," Hana commented as she looked at her Log Pose.
"Maybe the island got hit by a Buster Call or something," Sebastian theorized.
"I doubt that would happen. We would've heard of it by now," Z.G. argued.
"That's odd. Julietta said to meet her crew at Castellia Island, and it's not there! I hope she didn't give us false directions!" Yuki-Rin ranted.
"She probably didn't. Plus, if something happened, she would've told us by now," Kazuma explained. Then, a shadow was cast over the Hyperion.
"Hey! Why did it get dark?" Hana cried. Everyone looked up, and they saw a large landmass floating in the sky. Hana looked to her Log Pose. "Guys… I think I found the island."
"How the hell did it get up there/How the hell are we supposed to get there?" The Capricorns cried. Hana sighed.
"Everyone, up to the crow's nest. We're going up," Hana answered. Then, Hana began to float up toward the island. "What the hell?"
Then, other Capricorns began floating upwards.
"You know what? I'm not even gonna ask anymore!" Showtarou yelled.
"Hmm… That sounds like a great idea," Gareth said in a deadpan tone of voice.
"The Log Pose never said anything about this!" Hana cried before she turned to Yuki-Rin. "Yuki-Rin, explain this! Why would Julietta do this to us?"
"I dunno. Julietta never said anything about a sky island," Yuki-Rin stated. Right after she finished talking, something pulled Yuki-Rin up to the sky island and onto the ground of the floating island.
"Ow," Yuki-Rin commented as she rubbed her head.
"We meet again, Yuki-Rin."
"Yuki-Rin, is that you?"
Yuki-Rin looked up and saw two girls. One had black hair, black eyes, and wore black, rectangular glasses, a black-and-white striped sweater, a black jumper, white stockings, and black dress shoes. And, the other girl was a familiar, orange-haired, pirate captain.
"Hi, Julietta! How have you been?" Yuki-Rin asked the black-haired girl before she turned to the orange-haired girl. "Yuriko, what are you doing?"
Yuriko smirked as she crossed her arms.
"My crew ended up here, genius. What brings you and your little buddy here?" Yuriko asked Yuki-Rin.
"My crew ended up here, too! Not my fault Julietta gave us false directions!" Yuki-Rin argued.
"Actually, I didn't give you false directions. My crew ended up here, too," Julietta explained. "Oh, God! My crew! Where's Zane? And Albertine? And Shinji and Eri? And Kamogawa?"
"Come to think of it… Kazura, Rai, Genevieve, Zheng, Megumi, Bao-Bao, Yuno, Teinosuke, Eleanor, Tetra, Hyung-Win, Marni, get your asses over here! Yuki-Rin's back!" Yuriko called out.
"Heathcliffe? Molly? Enlai? Kazuma? Where are you guys?" Yuki-Rin called out. Yuriko laughed.
"I see you're still dependent on your crew. I guess some things never change," Yuriko commented. Yuki-Rin responded by flipping off Yuriko. "Yep. I can see that things haven't changed with your crew."
"Shut up," Yuki-Rin mumbled.
"What was that?" Yuriko asked Yuki-Rin.
"Guys, calm down!" Julietta yelled. Her fellow pirate captains turned to her. "If we're gonna get our crews back together, we need to ask for directions around this island and ask them if they've seen any of our crew members."
Yuki-Rin and Yuriko sighed.
"I guess Yuriko and I can put aside all differences for now," Yuki-Rin said.
"You said it, sister," Yuriko said in agreement.
On the other side of the island, Wolfgang, Enlai, Eleanor the cow, Teinosuke, and a girl with very short, curly, dirty blonde hair, and blue eyes who wore a white, collared shirt, suspenders, khaki pants, and brown boots were trying to make sense of the situation. Eleanor was lying on top of Wolfgang's legs.
"Uhh… My cow is sitting on your nakama," Teinosuke said to Enlai, who grinned.
"It's okay. He'll be fine in the morning," Enlai said.
"You suck!" Wolfgang yelled. Enlai just ignored him.
"Oh! I haven't introduced myself! My name's Enlai, and the unlucky man under your cow is Wolfgang!" Enlai introduced himself and Wolfgang.
"Okay, you are so dead, Baka Enlai!" Wolfgang yelled.
"Pleased to meet you. My name is Teinosuke Fujimori. This is my cow, Eleanor. Apparently, she likes you," Teinosuke explained. Wolfgang scowled.
"Your cow is a slut. Get her off of me," Wolfgang said bitterly.
"And, m-my name's A-Albertine," The girl said, stuttering. "P-please, forgive me. I'm a bit shy, so I tend to stutter when I meet new people."
"It's okay. I hope we can get to know each other," Teinosuke re-assured Albertine. "Now, let's get down to business. Apparently, we were all beamed up onto this island and we got seperated from our pirate crews. I believe we need to re-group with our crews and make sure we get off of this island somehow. But, first –"
Teinosuke pulled out a box of sugar cubes and took a cube out.
"Come on, Eleanor, get up. I've got a sugar cube," Teinosuke said Eleanor got off of Wolfgang and ate the sugar cube in Teinosuke's hands. Enlai, who was now shocked, looked to Wolfgang and then to the cow.
"Goddamnit," Enlai commented.
