It's Jojo Friday! It's almost 3 AM and I can't wait to see the new episode later! (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ I've been humming Fighting Gold for a good while and Freak N' You as well, lol!
Strength!
"Woah! It's huge!" One of the sailors stated as they awed.
"I-It's a freighter!"
"Look! We're saved! They got our distress call and dropped the stairs!" Joseph stated as he pointed at the ship.
Jotaro glanced down at Noriko.
"Hey." He lightly shrugged his shoulder for the red-headed girl to wake up.
"Mmmm..." Noriko groaned as her arms tightened their grip on his arm, snuggling more on the delinquent.
Jotaro shrugged his shoulder again, a bit rougher than before. "Hey, wake up already."
Noriko lifted her head up as she rubbed her eyes. "Are we at Singapore yet?" She asked as she yawned.
"No but we're in luck." Jotaro replied and glanced at the ship.
"In luck?" Noriko wondered and looked over at Jotaro. She didn't realize she had her arm wrapped around his.
Her cheeks lightly turned pink and quickly took moved her arm away.
"S-Sorry, Jojo! I didn't know I had fallen asleep on you." She apologized as she looked away.
She knew Jotaro hated it when girls would be all up on him and clingy since it would piss the hell out of him and didn't want to be on his bad side.
"Hmph." Jotaro grunted under his breath.
Noriko turned around and gasped.
"Woah! When did that here?!"
"Just a moment ago." Avdol responded.
"I didn't even see it get close because of this damn fog!" Polnareff remarked.
Jotaro remained silent and narrowed his eyes, he had a feeling something wasn't right.
Joseph noticed his grandson was suspecting about something. "What is it Jotaro? You think there's a Stand on this ship?"
Jotaro glanced at his grandfather. "No, I'm just wondering why the hell they would lower the stairs and not show themselves."
The emergency boats touched the end of the ramp and Polnareff jumped off.
He turned around at the Crusaders, "Look, I know you all must be thinking this is fishy but they did come all the way over here to rescue us! Someone is on this damn boat and even if they're all Stand users, I'll still get on this ship!" The Frenchman declared and walked up the stairs.
Everyone briefly glanced at each other before proceeding to get on the freighter.
As the men got off, Jotaro and Joseph turned around looking back at Noriko and Anne. Both girls were still on the small boat.
Noriko glanced down at the small brunette, "You can go first." She said sincerely.
"Grab on, I'll help you get up." Jotaro offered as he reached over for the young girl to grab his hand.
Anne stood there for a brief moment, hesitating. Making her decision, she jumped into the arms of Joseph Joestar.
The little girl looked over at Jotaro and stuck her tongue out at him.
Noriko chuckled and Jotaro sighed.
"Gimme a break..." He muttered and turned at Noriko.
The girl was already stepping out of the boat to the platform but her foot slipped. Jotaro caught the girl in his arms quickly before she could fall into the water.
Noriko widened her eyes in shock as her cheeks turned red. She was glad the brunette couldn't see her face since it was against his chest.
She quickly pushed herself away from him as she tried to compose herself.
"S-Sorry!" She apologized.
"Good grief, watch your steps. I could've given you hand." Jotaro said as he holstered both hands in his pockets.
"Well I thought I could do it myself." Noriko replied shyly and turned around.
Both students walked up the stairs to meet the others on deck.
Everyone except Avdol and the sailors were inside the pilothouse. It was really strange to them that all the machinery and controls were still functioning properly but they could not find anyone on who's in charge of the ship.
"This is strange. Where the hell is everyone?!" Joseph said as he beginning to get agitated. "Everything is working perfectly fine but there's not a single person out here operating it! Not even the captain is here!"
"Hey everyone, look!" Anne said as she pointed the room next door.
Everyone walked in and found an animal in a cage.
"A monkey?" Polnareff scratched the side of his head.
"Well it's an orangutan, not a monkey." Noriko corrected the Frenchman.
Joseph gritted his teeth and turned around, "Who the hell cares about a damn monkey?!" He snapped. "We're going to split up and find who's damn feeding it!"
Once they all stepped outside the pilothouse, Joseph noticed one of the cranes was slowly moving back and forth.
Below the crane was Avdol and the sailors.
Joseph widened his eyes, "Avdol! That man is in danger!" He cried out.
Before anyone could react, the crane impaled the sailor.
"AAAAAAHH!"
Everyone gasped as Anne screamed from the horror they all just witnessed.
Noriko quickly turned the girl around so the child won't see the dead man hanging from the crane.
"Good grief…" Jotaro sighed as he holstered both hands in his pockets. "A welcome like this is too much for a little girl."
The sailors stood there in shock with their jaws dropped.
"B-but nobody was moving the crane!" One of the sailors said.
"The craned moved itself as if someone was operating it but none of us touched the machinery!"
The Crusaders narrowed their eyes, knowing perfectly well the cause for this happening.
"Everyone be careful. There's someone here on this ship!" Joseph declared.
He looked back at the sailors, "None of you touch any machinery. That includes anything that moves or runs on electricity so don't lay your hands on it!"
"If you all want to live, you'll have to follow my rules! I want all of you to stay in the cabin down below until we know for sure everything is clear!"
They all affirmed with a nod and went inside the cabin.
Anne followed behind them and stopped. She stood by the door watching over the Crusaders.
"Any of you caught a glimpse of a Stand?" Joseph queried.
Both Noriko and Jotaro nodded a no.
"No." Polnareff replied.
"I'm afraid not Mr. Joestar. And I was the one closest to the crane yet I felt nothing when I stood next to it." Avdol responded.
Noriko placed a hand on her chest, "In that case, I'll have my Hierophant Green search inside and outside the ship." Hierophant Green manifested behind Noriko and enters inside the freighter.
Anne raised a brow. "What the hell are they all doing? Are they some kind of jinxies?! I've always been told that there's these types of people that always cause dangers to others and should always avoid them...is that what you guys are?!"
The Crusaders turned their gaze to Anne as Joseph walked over to her.
He crouched down to her height and lifted up a finger. "There's one thing I can tell you with absolute certainty. We're all on your side." He assured her with a smile.
"So please stay with the others."
Anne nodded and walked inside.
Egypt
"Enyaba, I would like to ask you a question. What does it mean to live?" The immortal vampire, Dio, asked while glancing at the mirror.
"To gain what one wants." The old woman replied as she gazed up at her Lord. "Simply put, this is the purest reason there is to live."
"People want money, fame, food, love and lovers...hee, hee..." She added.
"But when a person attempts to obtain what they desire, mustn't they fight for it, Enyaba?" Dio queried with his back still turned.
"Why of course...hee, hee, hee..."
"If the battle proves fruitless and fail to achieve their desires, frustration and failure will overcome them." Dio noted as he took a step on the stairs. "It's painful."
"They will feel fear in the upcoming battles." The British vampire placed a hand on the base of his neck, covering the Joestar birthmark.
Placing both hands on his hips, he continued, "Honestly I believe conquering fear is what it means to live."
"The one who stands at the pinnacle is the one who has no fear. Do you understand, Enyaba?"
"I taught you very well about your Stand and how to harness its power." Enyaba stated. "You also have an immortal body, is there something that fears you?"
"Possibly." Dio responded.
Enyaba narrowed her eyes, "What concerns you, my Lord?"
"The Joestar bloodline."
"Hm? The Joestars?! Why would you worry about those mere filth's? Those bastards don't have the slightest chance against your Stand!"
"But when the lives of those bastards are so deeply entangled with my own, I cannot help but believe it is destiny! To be more specific..." Dio covered his face as his crimson eyes could be seen between his fingers. "It is not that I fear the Joestars, Enyaba...It is the fact that I cannot underestimate them. I have to remove the Joestars from my destiny in order to achieve my goals!"
"You mean to tell me that you wanted to take them out yourself?" Enyaba asked.
"Indeed."
"Absurd!" Enyaba retorted. "I refuse to let you engage in such foolishness and cause yourself trouble!"
"I already sent out seven Stand users that you've requested!" She stated. "The Empress, Hanged Man, Strength, Wheel of Fortune, Temperance, Emperor, Devil and the Stand users who wield them to carry out your will! You shouldn't have to worry about a single thing, my Lord! HEHEHEHAHAHA!"
The sun was already setting down across the horizon of the ocean and Noriko had recalled her Stand.
"Hmm..." She placed a hand under her chin. "I honestly can't believe it."
"Did you find anything?" Avdol asked.
"Sadly no." Noriko replied and crossed her arms. "I had my Hierophant Green scour every corner of this ship yet I didn't sense any signs of life anywhere. Not even inside the pipes or tiniest cracks."
"Hm." Jotaro grunted under his breath and glanced at the pilothouse.
"So, there's nobody here besides us? Is that what you're saying?"
"The only living thing here besides us, the sailors and Anne is the orangutan we saw earlier." Noriko responded as she uncrossed her arms. "It's quite bizarre that an animal has been on this ship alone for who knows how long without an owner or Captain."
"I would say the ship could've drifted off on its own on accident but a ramp nor crane moves on its own unless someone is operating it." Avdol remarked.
"Hmmm..." Joseph tapped his chin twice, thinking of an idea on what they should do next.
"Noriko," Avdol said as he turned his head at Noriko. "Why don't you check on Anne and the sailors while we try to come up with something else."
Noriko affirmed with a nod.
"If you guys need anything, you'll know where to find me."
With that, she turned around and walked inside the pilothouse.
"Any ideas, Mr. Joestar?" Avdol queried as he averted his eyes at the elder Joestar.
"I would suggest we split into two groups and find the person in charge but Noriko confirmed there's nobody else here. But I still can't help that I feel unease." Joseph said as he crossed his arm and looked up at the dead man's body.
Noriko walked into the room where the orangutan is and noticed he was smoking and reading a playboy magazine.
The red-headed girl knitted her brows in confusion, "What the-?"
"Oh, hey Noriko!" Anne greeted, causing Noriko to avert her gaze at the young brunette.
The young girl entered the room.
"Anne?" Noriko raised a brow. "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with the sailors?"
"I was looking for the showers since I feel all sticky and gross from all the sea salt water." Anne replied as she cringed from touching her sticky hair.
"Did you even tell any of the sailors on where you were going?"
"Well..." Anne placed both hands behind her back with her head down as if she was being scolded. "No, I didn't. They're all busy in a room trying to make a radio work or something. Besides, why should I?! I'm a girl and I don't want some pervert watching me shower!"
"I can understand that but they're not like that-"
"Jotaro is! He touched me!" Anne snapped at the teen and crossed her arms with a huff. "He didn't have to touch me to know if I'm a girl or not!"
Noriko sighed with a nod, "I can assure you 100% that Jojo isn't a pervert and that all the men on board here are trustworthy. Well, except for Polnareff…" She muttered the last part quietly.
"Anyway, you shouldn't go on your own like that. Something could've happened to you, but..." She crossed her arms and smiled. "A shower actually sounds nice. I haven't had one before we left Hong Kong."
"Come on." Noriko said as she and Anne left the room.
Without them knowing, the orangutan's cage lock clicked. The cage slowly opened as the orangutan stepped out.
Finding the showers was a bit difficult after searching almost all the rooms in the same hallway. Only to find out the showers were just across from the radio room where the sailors were in.
They placed their new clothes on an empty stall next to theirs and turned on their showers.
As they waited for the water to warm up, they began removing their clothes and got in.
They washed and rinsed their bodies, Noriko sighed happily as she could hear Anne humming.
Noriko was the first to finish and stepped out the shower stall with a towel wrapped around her body.
"Anne, I'll dress up in the room behind the showers, alright? Don't run off anywhere else, okay?" Noriko told Anne.
"Okay!" Anne replied cheerfully and continued to hum.
Noriko grabbed her clothes and before she could head to the next room, the entrance door to the showers opened.
"Hm?" Noriko raised a brow as she looked over at the opened door.
The room across could be seen where the sailors were in and Noriko narrowed her eyes. She took a step closer to see the room and her eyes widened in shock.
The sailors were beaten to death and some had their heads ripped off.
Noriko was speechless as she dropped her clothes to the floor and took a step back but bumped into something or someone.
Whatever it was, it was very warm and furry. She shivered from the contact and hesitantly turned around.
She gasped as her eyes met the orangutan.
The giant ape starred down at her with eyes full of lust. He licked his lips as he looked up and down the girl's form with a seductive grin.
"I-It's the orangutan! I thought it was in it's cage! How did it get out?!" Noriko thought in a panic as she quickly stepped away from the mammal.
Not saying a word, Noriko was slowly backing away from the ape but he kept following her. She didn't realize that she was now out in the hallway and the door to the showers closed behind the ape.
Her back touched the cold metal wall as the orangutan reached out with his hand to touch her.
Noriko tightened her grip on the towel as the green aura glowed around her.
The ape licked his lips once again and charged at Noriko.
"GYAAAH!"
Noriko furrowed her brows.
"HIEROPHANT-!"
"HEY!"
In an instant the orangutan was smacked on the head by a lock, knocking him down to the floor. The person to be holding the lock would be no other than Kujo, Jotaro.
"Jojo!" Noriko said in relief. "Thank god he got here on time!"
Jotaro turned his gaze at Noriko, "Are you alright?" He queried.
Noriko gave him a simple nod and Jotaro turned back at the animal.
The orangutan groaned from the pain as he barely got back on his feet and tried to crawl away.
"Here's your damn lock you fucking animal!" Jotaro said as he tossed the lock at him, hitting the mammal again.
Filled with rage, the orangutan grasped Jotaro's jacket.
Jotaro narrowed his eyes, he sensed there was something odd about the orangutan.
"This ape...he's no ordinary ape..." He muttered. "Could he possibly be-"
The ape lunged his leg up to pound the delinquent but was quickly blocked off by Star Platinum.
"ORA!" Star Platinum cried out.
Suddenly, the ceiling fan behind Jotaro broke off and impaled his shoulder.
The ape let out a gruff laugh.
Jotaro grunted as he glanced at his shoulder.
"H-How did it do that?! It moved on its own like that crane!" Noriko wondered in panic.
"Whatever the hell it is, it seems this fucking ape is the Stand user." Jotaro stated as he glared at the ape. "The problem I have is that I can't seem to see his Stand. Why can't we see his Stand?" He then reached over to remove the fan.
The fan slapped his hand away. "What the-?! The propeller just moved on its own!" Jotaro knitted brows and was then smacked across his face, which caused him to be thrown at the end of the hall breaking down a door.
"Jojo! Noriko cried out as the ape charged at Jotaro in mid-air.
Noriko ran down the hallway, going after the two.
Once in the next room, Noriko saw Star Platinum about to punch the orangutan but had punched the wall instead.
"What?!" Jotaro thought as he and Noriko saw the orangutan's body halfway inside the wall.
The ape sank into the wall and disappeared.
"Did that orangutan just vanished into the wall?!"
Jotaro frowned, "I don't know what's up with this damn ape, but he's in fact the Stand user. I sensed his energy coming off from him when I had touched him earlier. I just don't get why we can't see his Stand."
"I'll have my Hierophant search the ship again." Noriko declared. "I probably overlooked at something without knowing."
"Wait a minute!" Jotaro protested. He glanced back at the wall and thought for a moment.
He then gasped as he realized what is the orangutan's Stand.
"I think we've been seeing it the entire time."
Noriko knitted her brows in confusion, "What do you mean?"
"Ever since we've been rescued, everything has been operating on its own but nobody is actually doing it. The ramp came down on its down, the crane killed one of the sailors, the ceiling fan and the glass on the window broke on their own."
Noriko slowly raised up her brows, realizing what Jotaro is saying. "Are you saying the freighter is-"
The entire ship quaked as if it hit something.
"WHAT THE FUCK?!" Polnareff shouted as he, Avdol and Joseph were being sunk into the ship.
"W-What's going on?!"
"Why are we sinking in the ship?!"
"Damn it! This freighter... could it possibly be that this freighter is-"
"THIS FREIGHTER IS A MASSIVE STAND!" Jotaro stated.
Noriko widened her eyes as she saw the pipes above Jotaro's head.
"Jojo! Behind you!" She cried out.
The pipes wrapped around Jotaro's body and his Stand, pulling them back against the wall.
He grunted once his body slammed against the steel wall.
The orangutan peeked his head out through the wall with a laugh.
Noriko narrowed her eyes and glared at the orangutan, "TAKE THIS! EMERALD SPLASH!"
Hierophant shot her Emerald projectiles at the ape but the mammal had vanished into the wall again.
Noriko gritted her teeth as she growled under her breath.
"Noriko! Watch out! The pipes are next you!" Jotaro cried out but it was too late.
The pipes wrapped around Noriko and her Stand, pulling her to the wall across from Jotaro.
Jotaro frowned, "Damnit!" He muttered.
"AH!" Anne screamed as she fell to the floor from the sudden quake of the ship.
"What the hell was that?!" She wondered as she stood back on her feet. She was fully dressed in her usual clothing and was heading out to the door before she fell.
Walking over to the door, she grabbed the handle but it wouldn't move.
Anne raised a brow and tried again but this time with more force.
She then tried using her whole body to push the door open a couple of times and it still didn't work.
"Why isn't the door opening?! Am I trapped in here?!" She began banging the door with her small fists.
"Hey! Help! Anybody out there?! Noriko! Jojo!" She cried out.
She sighed realizing there was no use, so she turned around to find another exit.
"There should be another way out!" Anne thought and before she could leave to the next room, she almost stepped on Noriko's uniform that was on the floor.
"Huh?" She picked up the clothes and looked around.
"Noriko?!" She called out her name but received no answer.
"Did something happen to Noriko?" She thought as she began to worry and glanced down at the red-headed girl's clothing.
"Something must've happened while I was showering..." The brunette knitted her brows.
"What the hell is going on...?"
"I can't believe it! This entire ship is a gigantic Stand itself!" Joseph concluded.
"This ship as a Stand?! I didn't think there would be a Stand that regular people could see!" Polnareff said.
"The Stand is using enough energy to be seen with the naked eye!" Avdol explained as he grunted from the pressure. "But it takes a tremendous amount of energy to control a Stand like this!"
"We need to contact Noriko and Jotaro!" Polnareff suggested.
"How?! The only person who can reach long distances is Noriko with her Stand! Both Jotaro and Noriko must be somewhere on this ship unaware on what's happening or being attacked at this moment!" Avdol said and looked over at Joseph.
"Mr. Joestar! Can your Hermit Purple reach to them?!"
"N...No! Not only that but this damn ship will probably crush my Hermit Purple as well if I try to search for them!"
They sank down further down into the ship.
"So this is what it's like to stare death in the face..." Polnareff commented as he groaned. "We're hopelessly stuck at this point, we can't do anything!" He said as he coughed out blood.
"The pressure is getting stronger! We'll be crushed if it keeps going like this!" Avdol pointed out.
"How did we not suspect something like this...?!" Joseph murmured as he gritted his teeth with blood coming out his mouth.
The ape reappeared again but this time in a captain's outfit. He wore a long white coat with a captain's hat and a smoking pipe in his mouth.
He held out a notebook between the teens for them to see and read. The word the ape was pointing at was Strength.
It meant force, energy, power, and aid. It's the eighth tarot card. It also suggests challenges, a powerful will and hidden instincts. The user's name is Forever!
Forever chuckled as puffed out smoke from his mouth and played with the Rubik's cube.
Both high schoolers glared at him.
Jotaro narrowed his eyes as his Star Platinum pulled one of the pipes away.
"ORA!"
Forever quickly summoned more pipes to hold down the warrior-like Stand. The ape laughed as Jotaro only glared at him.
"This dirty fucking piece of shit thinks he's already one..." Jotaro thought.
"GEH HEH HEH HEHE! THIS ENTIRE SHIP IS MY STAND! ALL OF YOU ALREADY LOST YOU BASTARDS!" The ape's laugh became more hysterical. "AND YOU CAN'T DO A SINGLE THING ABOUT IT! ACCEPT YOUR FATE!"
Forever crushed the Rubiks cube and turned to Noriko with a seductive look.
The girl's towel was already soaked as it was getting loose. Her thighs were a bit exposed and her entire body was still wet.
Noriko glared at the ape with her violet colored eyes as Forever licked his lips and began to approach her.
Forever stopped when he felt a small object tap the back of his head. He looked down while rubbing the back of his head and sees a button.
It was Jotaro's uniform button.
He picked it up and observed the small pin for moment as he narrowed his eyes. Noriko used her opportunity to make Hierophant Green's appendages invisible and circle around the ape.
"The button's not part of your Stand." Jotaro abruptly stated.
Forever trembled as his blood boiled inside.
Jotaro scoffed, "Hmph. What's the matter? You're pissed? I bet that hurt your damn pride since you thought you won this."
Forever trembled even more.
"Actually no, I take that back. It's not pride because apes don't have any damn prides!" Jotaro provoked.
Forever snapped, "GRYAAAAAHHH!" He screamed and was about to jump to attack Jotaro but was held back by Hierophant's appendages.
"While you were too busy getting pissed off, you didn't realize Noriko had used her Stand's tentacles to hold you back. Now that I know what makes you into a fucking ape, let me show what being hurt really feels like!"
"STAR FINGER!"
Star Platinum's two fingers struck at the button Forever had in hand to shoot it back at the ape's head.
Blood squirted out of Forever's eyes and screamed in pain as he threw himself to the floor touching his face.
He whimpered and cried from the pain as Jotaro broke himself free from the pipes.
"Gimme a damn break..." He sighed and used Star Platinum to break the pipes off of Noriko.
The red-headed girl covered herself more with the soaked towel as they both approach the orangutan.
Forever went to a cover and ripped his coat open, revealing his stomach as he quivered in fear with his hands up.
"I heard that frightened animals reveal their stomachs as a sign of surrender...are you asking us for forgiveness?" Jotaro asked as he tilted his hat down.
Forever weakly nodded a yes.
"The problem I have is that you've already crossed the line no animal should. Therefore, no forgiveness..."
"ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA!"
Star Platinum pulverized the orangutan with his barrage of punches. Forever was thrown at the end of the hall breaking down a door.
Noriko sighed in relief but that soon ended when the ship quaked again. This cause Noriko to fall on top of Jotaro, making them both collapse to the floor.
"Ouch..." Noriko muttered. She lifted her head up while rubbing the side of her head. Looking up, she saw Anne at the entrance of the hallways with a shocked expression.
Her eyes were shot wide open as she only stood there.
"What's wrong, Anne?" Noriko queried at Anne.
Anne let out a fake cough as she looked away.
Noriko raised a brow and glanced down. She was face to face at Jotaro, who had a stoic look as usual and her towel had loosened. Her entire back and buttock were exposed and her breast was firmly pressed against his chest.
Noriko's face entirely went red as she quickly got herself up and adjusted her towel.
She bowed her head down and apologized to the delinquent.
"I'm sorry Jojo! I didn't mean to!" She said and looked over at Anne to change the awkward moment.
"Anne! I'm so glad you're alright! And you brought my clothes too!" Noriko said with a nervous smile.
"Y-Yeah..." Anne replied hesitantly as she briefly looked over at Jotaro, who was getting back on his feet and back at Noriko.
"Are you alright? Did something happen?" Anne inquired as she was still confused on what was happening.
"Everything's fine now-"
The ship violently quivered this time and everything around began to get distorted.
"W-What's happening?! Why is the ship twisting all over the place?!" Anne panicked.
"Hey! Save it will you?!" Jotaro told the little girl and held the tip of his hat. "The ship is going to sink, Noriko quickly get dressed and all of us will get back on the boat we came from."
Noriko nodded and grabbed Anne's hand, taking her along so she wouldn't be alone while getting dressed.
It was already evening and the Crusaders and Anne made it out alive from the ship.
They watched the ship shrink by the second while on their small boat.
"Wow, I can't believe this! The huge ship we were just on was actually just a puny little boat." Anne remarked.
"Such terrifying power...That ape used his Stand to come all the way here in the ocean to kill us!" Avdol said in shock. "I've never seen that kind of energy before!"
"We were completely hopeless...If both Noriko and Jotaro hadn't figured this out, all of us would've been killed." Joseph said. "I hope we don't encounter Stands that are even more twisted and powerful than this one..."
Noriko pulled out a hair brush from her luggage and casually brushed her long hair. She wanted to relax and forget about the embarrassing moment from earlier. She hoped they would reach Singapore sooner so she can change to another set of uniform since the one she has on right now is dirty and partly ripped.
Jotaro, who was sitting next to the girl, pulled out a cigarette and light up with his lighter. Polnareff chewed on his gum and lifted up an extra piece of gum at Joseph.
"Want some gum, Mr. Joestar?" Polnareff offered.
"No thanks." Joseph answered and glanced at everyone.
"So we're lost at sea again, huh?" Avdol said.
"Gimme a fucking break, my cigarette is all soaked." Jotaro complained.
Noriko looked over at the delinquent, "They're bad for you and you shouldn't even be smoking in the first place since you're underage, Jojo." She told the delinquent.
"Don't you worry, Jojo! By the time the sun rises they'll be dried up already!" Polnareff assured the young Joestar.
"For now, we just have to keep praying and hopefully we'll get rescued to be taken to Singapore." Joseph said.
Noriko stopped brushing her hair and gazed up at Joseph.
"I just realized that it's only been four days since we left Japan." She stated.
Joseph sighed, "You're right...that leaves forty-six days remaining before the time runs out..."
To Be Continued...
I contemplated a lot whether I should had Noriko involved doing other things instead like how it went in the canon but so far I like how this turned out. Noriko will have a different uniform shirt next chapter but her skirt, leggings and all the jewelry accessories will be the same! I also hope you guys liked the moments I added with Noriko and Jotaro and I'm not sure If I should have done more to it or its fine the way it is?
