cw: afab! reader, reader is a stand user, slight canon divergence, sfw

Word count: 6815

Aboard a boat trip to Singapore after an eventful plane incident involving a Stand attack, you and the crew found a brief moment of peace where you had the chance to interact with old and new friends, before the task resumes at the arrival of a suspicious-looking captain.

True to your instincts, you’d expected the worst to come your way when you volunteered to set out into this journey to garner some sort of “peace-of-mind”, but as to how they would approach your little group of Stand users were something you didn’t expect.

It started out in a plane flight, its interior dimmed to accommodate the sleeping passengers occupying almost all the seats, yourself included. It didn’t take too long until the whispers of your companions woke you up, followed by the subtle hum buzz of an insect flying about above everyone.

It didn’t take long for Avdol to recognize the identified frothing beetle to be a Stand belonging to an enemy user aboard the plane you were on, specifically the person bearing the Tower card known for bringing misfortune to those who encounter it.

All 5 of you took great caution to not cause havoc or damage the cabin, making it all the more difficult for your team to properly deal with the speedy little pest, considering Star Platinum’s known for its strong punches.

Though you proved yourself to the boys that you were indeed more than just a tag-along buddy.

The second you saw the tiny thing zipped through the air with its sharped tongue in the direction of Jotaro’s mouth, a single strip of fabric manifested out from you, stretching itself out to block the insect from reaching his face.

The same goes when it attempted to fly through the seats’ headrests with the intention of stealing the occupants’ tongues in retaliation. Multiple strips of rose gold cut through the air and intercepted the bug’s path, causing it to flying about in a retreating zigzag instead of the supposed straight-on approach.

With your intervention, Kakyoin took the opportunity to set up a trap for the beetle and eventually managed to take it out with his Stand, Hierophant Green’s ability “Emerald Splash”.

Though you failed to prevent the damn thing from invading the cockpit and murdering the pilots, resulting to the plane having to do an emergency landing, and thus ending up in Hong Kong. With Joseph calling the Foundation for help, the group were left to wait for their next transport.

Coincidentally, by ending up in the country, you met yet another interesting fellow that reminded you of your first encounter with Kakyoin.

One moment all of you were dining in an oriental restaurant with foreign food you were yet to taste, and in the next, a man came up to the table introducing himself as a French tourist who needed help with ordering.

The second the guy started to speak in that familiar ominous tone with a star-shaped carrot slice in hand, you noticed the teacup bubbling and responding accordingly, you swiftly grabbed it and flung it to the far corner of the room as a pointed blade shot up from the liquid.

Avdol was the one who handled the situation, battling the enemy Frenchman Jean Pierre Polnareff and his knightly Stand Silver Chariot in a duel-like setting atop the space of the Tiger Balm Garden. You were nervous for the Egyptian’s sake, fingers twitching from where it was hanging by your side, filled with the need to shield your ally from the enemy’s rapid swordsmanship.

At the end, Avdol stood victorious, managing to outwit the man with the combination of his flames and a cleverly used substitute statue, and a tunnel he discreetly made to ambush him with fire from below.

And as Avdol left Polnareff with a dagger to spare himself the pains of burning, the boys turned their backs away, except for you as you watched the white-haired man stare at gleaming blade, a defeated smile on his face as he bowed his head.

You cocked your head, a fleeting moment of pity coming across you at sight of utter surrender. “Avdol,” you called out, still staring at the burning man on the ground. “You might wanna reconsider-“

The dark-skinned man stopped in his tracks and with a snap of his fingers, the flames immediately went out at his command and in relief, the Frenchman collapsed unconscious. Avdol turned to look at you, a satisfied smile on his face. “No need to tell Y/N-san. Even with my back turned, I can sense that this man is a better and more honorable person that DIO could ever be.”

Just like how Joseph explained the situation of your cherry-haired companion, Polnareff was found to be controlled by the vampire’s flesh bud, hidden away in his standing, white locks.

With the bud taken care off with the help of Jotaro’s Stand, the Frenchman was freed from the immortal’s control, and as a result, he volunteers to join the team in hopes he’d seek revenge for the death of his sister. Similar to your case, the crew accepts him and your team grew to 6.

You’d expected the guy with the rapier-wielding Stand to carry himself the way he did back during his introduction at the restaurant and at the battle- one who was formal, dedicated, and poised.

You were ready to welcome another serious member into the party, already planning a list of possible interaction bubbles at the top of your head like you did with Jotaro. However, a minute later, that wasn’t the case.

Polnareff resembled your energy more than Jotaro’s- Dynamic and expressive when a flavor of his perverted side jumped out when he accepted the request of having 2 women’s pictures taken, only for the Frenchman to zoom in on their legs with a mischievous snicker.

The men were stunned but you found yourself with a wide smile, thrilled at the fact there was another person who could liven the team with you.

One lively introduction and a single lengthy conversation later, you became quick friends with the guy, finding his charming yet goofy personality a delight to be around.

Even as you boarded the boat the Speedwagon Foundation reserved and setting off to sea, a never-ending string of random conversations flew out your mouths trading trivia facts about France and Japan with each other, what each other’s interests were, and the like.

You two stood at the deck’s rails and from the background, Joseph excused himself for a minute as he stepped into the cabin, Avdol having left to his own mindful solitude, while Jotaro and Kakyoin made themselves comfortable on the available sunbeds.

You glanced over to look at the delinquent for a second, smiling as the latter did the same, before after a few seconds, tipped his hat over his eyes to break eye contact.

You huffed the same time Polnareff cleared his throat. “Now mademoiselle, where were we?”

✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧

“She’s really something else, huh?”

With his eyes remaining closed under the shade of his hat’ visor, Jotaro hummed in question. “Meaning?”

“I mean, look at her- just approaching people knowing what to say and how to act accordingly,” Kakyoin chuckled. He spared a few seconds to look at you chatting away with Polnareff with a smile fixed on your face. “That’s talent, and now just looking at them, it’s scary how those 2 just share so many similarities. They’re both vibrant Stand users who gives off an intimidating first impression.”

Jotaro scoffed, opening one eye to look at his friend. “Her? Intimidating?” He shook his head, considering that adjective is usually associated with himself. “Hardly.”

When asked to describe how his first impression of you, you were all but that word. When he thought of you, he’s reminded of your polite demeanor when you respected his space, one that slowly melded with your snarky comebacks that juxtaposed your sweet, beaming expression.

And if he were to put all those thoughts into one word, that would be his answer- Unusual. Sassy. Unique. Stunning.

A tiny patch of warmth grew on his cheeks. “Tch.” He clicked his tongue, realizing that last word’s implication. Not in that way Kujo…

“To you maybe, but when I first talked to her, she was staring me down and I could tell she was suspicious of me from the get-go.”

“You provoked her?”

Kakyoin shook his head, gaze turned to the sky in recollection. “Quite the contrary actually. It was the day before we fought. I approached her to ask a favor that involved her convincing you to meet with me.”

“For some reason, I thought she’d help out because it was a simple request but-” he tilted his head. “I don’t know if it was because she didn’t want to be involved or she didn’t want to play a part in my plan to kill you.”

“You think I wouldn’t start getting concerned whether or not you were still okay?” He still remembered what you said to him that day. A statement regarding his safety that didn’t come from his mom. Admittedly, he thought you were too trusting with the people you’d met, but with Kakyoin’s words, you knew better; who to trust and who to be wary off.

With that knowledge, you saw something in him that made you trust him from the beginning despite his menacing appearance.

His chest throbbed at the thought. Jotaro didn’t know what to say and so he remained silent, shutting both eyes in hopes napping would spare him and his questionable emotion in him from continuing the conversation… Though it wouldn’t last long when the bane of his current crisis came jogging to him, with an eager “yah” in her voice. He grumbled a classic “what do you want”, refusing to look at you to give his face time to cool down.

“Pol went off to talk to Avdol so I’m left to my own devices,” you said. Through narrowed eyes, you stood by his sunbed with a hand on your hip and a smirk on your face. “And by devices, I mean you.”

He rose a brow. Pol? You giving nicknames now? “Even outside school you continue to annoy me woman,” he said and as usual, you couldn’t care less when you remained at the same spot with a stable smile. Jotaro sighed in defeat. “What is it this time?”

You sat at the foot of his sunbed and began spewing out your stories, one topic transitioning into another seamlessly as if you mentally prepared it beforehand in mere seconds, your hands moving around to help convey your thoughts.

Jotaro wasn’t sure what it was, but there was always something in your voice that drew him to listen to your relentless chatter and it didn’t help him when 90% of the conversation was about France, Polnareff, and his Stand.

Like I care about that. Thinking like that now, he wished you’d just return to pestering him about his life story and his Stand Star Platinum instead of this newcomer’s background, and maybe this time, he’d surely have something to share in return.

Forcing himself to draw away from the topic of how the Frenchman maintained that ridiculous hairstyle, Jotaro filtered out your words and instead watched how you talk- from the way your bright eyes would widen every time you mentioned a surprising moment, to the different motions of your hands, down to the movement of your pink lips.

He paused the second he realized his gaze remained at the same area of your face for a solid minute. Damnit. The fuck’s up with me today?

When you finished one train of thought, Jotaro immediately butted in to stop you from continuing. “You done rambling?”

You hummed, pursing your lips as if you were thinking about it. “I’m nearly there.”

“Fucking hell- how do you never stop talking?

“Talent, I guess?” You shrugged your shoulders with a cheeky smile. “Thought you knew my speaking capabilities since day 1 but yeah. Just a friendly reminder,” you winked. “It comes naturally.”

“You guys indeed have some solid rapport going on.” Both you and Jotaro turned to look at Kakyoin, silently playing observer as he watched you two bicker with interest in his smirk. “So invested with one another that you both most likely forgot I’m on the neighboring sunbed.”

Jotaro sent him a half-hearted glare for being right about your communication skills, while you blinked in surprise. “Oh my- Kakyoin-san, I’m sorry! It’s become habitual for me to vent my thoughts out to the local bad boy, but if you want to talk to me, then feel free to open up.”

The student stuck out a thumbs-up. “Will do Y/N-san.”

✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧

“Ugh! Let go of me!”

“Stop squirming little brat and listen.”

All eyes turned to the source of the exchange to see 3 adult sailors circle a child no older than 11 with a newsboy cap. Of course, you wondered how a kid managed to sneak on board a boat reserved for Speedwagon Foundation affiliates, but you saved that thought for next time.

You rounded the boys’ sunbeds and marched your way to the sailors, shoving them back as you stepped in front of the kid. “What’s going on here? What’s with the unnecessary grabbing?”

One of them, the boldest you assumed, arched a brow at your sudden intervention and laughed. “Hey now little miss, I suggest you back off and let us deal with this issue, okay?”

“Well, your way of handling the issue isn’t exactly appropriate,” you said in return, arms crossed. “How about all you big strong men be the one to back off and give us some space for proper communication?”

“Yeah? You’re not exactly Mr. Joestar who could tell us what to do.” He sneered at you and grabbed your forearm. “Let’s escort your pretty ass back to your-“

Irritated, a translucent rose gold fabric shot out from the back of your shoulder and wrapped itself around the wrist, pulling it off you and squeezing it tight enough for the sailor to shriek in pain. Though not tight enough to crush bone, because that would be unnecessary and you’d end up being the hypocrite.

His companions stepped back in shock and you used the given space to walk towards the pained adult now kneeling on the floor with a raised bluish-purple hand devoid of blood.

“Yeah, I’m not Mr. Joestar, but does one really need to be the leader of the group to request some private time? So, we can settle this stowaway problem better?” You smiled with your hands on your knees to look at him head on, your voice tauntingly saccharine.

“N-No,” the man grunted out, spots of tears already beading in his eyes.

“That’s right. Now…” You gave the man one last squeeze before letting him go. “Be respectful little boys and leave the kid to me.” Immediately, the sailor scrambled on his feet, held his bluish wrist as he retreated somewhere else on the boat followed suit by his companions.

You huffed out a sigh, catching sights of Polnareff, a newly emerged Joseph (in a sailor’s outfit? Or simple summer fit?), Kakyoin, and even Jotaro watching you from the distance. You puffed your cheeks and shrugged. “They were being a tad bit rude. Can you blame me?”

Polnareff gave a satisfactory grin and a supporting thumbs-up while Kakyoin leaned over to the delinquent to whisper something to him, to which the latter responded with an audible grumble and a shove. Though, something in the cherry-haired’s smug smirk and knowing eyes pointed at your direction gave the impression that the topic was about you.

“Alright, now where were we-“

You turned on your heels with the intention of meeting the young stowaway, only to see no one standing behind you. You opted to search the cabin or the side deck just in case she hid, but the distant and consistent splashing led you to believe she wasn’t hiding.

She was fleeing.

You snapped your head towards the different onlooking men. “Didn’t any of you saw her jump off?!”

The Frenchman placed his hand on his nape with a guilty smile on his face. “We were mostly watching you standing up against the sailors if I’m gonna be honest. A sight to see if I say so myself.”

“I kinda did on the way up but the damn kid had some bite to him when I tried to stop him from jumping overboard,” Joseph said.

You only had time to scoff before you rushed over to the railings and call out to the swimming child, the rest following suit behind you. “Hey kid! Come back! I talked them down and you can join us until we hit land!”

For a moment, the child stopped in her tracks and turned to you with possible intentions of swimming back, and you wanted to bide a few more seconds for her to fully decide her course of action, however, the protruding dorsal fin approaching her from the distance said otherwise.

“Kid swim back! Hurry! A shark’s coming!” The others caught sight of it and began calling out for her to swim back as well.

Enough of a reason, the child shrieked and began swimming back towards the boat. However, the sea reptile was speeding too fast for comfort. A big splash was heard beneath you.

And just as the shark was about to deliver a single chomp, its body flew to the air by the booming punch of one strong Star Platinum and his loud “ora”. While the poor creature is being beaten senseless in aerial territory, you saw Jotaro grab the child to tug her back to the boat.

You were about to sigh in relief but you noticed another danger from under the water: 2 pairs of glowing eyes belonging to a shadow who cleaved the beaten shark in clean halves, and the 2 humans were its next prey.

“Jotaro behind you!” You called out, pointing at its direction.

The delinquent looked back and identified the threat instantly, putting more effort in swimming to safety with a child in his arm. You could feel the fabrics on the surface of your back, itching to extend themselves to pull them up, but Kakyoin beat you to it with Hierophant Green reaching down to bring the 2 up on deck.

“Are you alright?” You said, squatting down to brush the wet strands off her face. You knew your raven-haired friend was fine (albeit drenched with sea water), so you placed priority on the kid, who without the cap, revealed herself to be a girl. Not like it was a surprise because you could tell she was a female from the beginning based on body structure, voice, and boyish-upfront.

She recognized you with a slight twinkle in her eyes and gave you a nod. You smiled and brushed through her dark locks. “That’s a relief but don’t go jumping into the ocean this far into the path. What’s your name?”

“Anne.”

You introduced yourself and placed a hand out for her to shake. “Mind telling me why you decided to board our private boat?”

“I just wanted to head where you guys were heading, but I didn’t have any money. I overheard you were going there so I snuck in.”

“Ahhh,” you said in understanding. “Now, I’m not gonna tell you how it’s wrong for you trespass stranger’s boats because I trust you’re aware of that, but since you’re here now, there’s nothing much we can do but let you remain onboard for the meantime.”

The girl, Anne, furrowed her brows and nodded. You gave her one last smile and stood, turning to your friends. “See? Just talk it out and-hey!”

Before you could finish your sentence, Jotaro, with a newly lit cig in-between his teeth, walked over to you to grab you by the wrist and pull you away from the girl. “You gotta stop grabbing me by the wrist and dragging me elsewhere without explanation.” You stared at him with a deadpan gaze. “That’s not cool.” The delinquent didn’t reply, offering only one knowing look before turning his head back to watch Anne with caution.

“Y/N, you must be careful.” Avdol, who reappeared from his solitude, said. “What chased Jotaro underwater was no ordinary predator. It’s an aquatic-based Stand, meaning its user has to be someone on this boat for it to be lurking in the waters around us like this.”

“You never know. She might have pretended to flee where in reality, she might have jumped on purpose to lure someone off the boat and kill them,” Joseph added.

An enemy Stand user? On a different situation, you would have refuted and spoke back at them for antagonizing a little child, but given how anyone could possess a Stand and could be anywhere at random, you couldn’t help but become cautious as the rest of the group.

The hold the teenager had on your wrist remained where it was and you assumed he hadn’t noticed it yet. It sent the tiniest flutters in your chest.

“What are you guys talking about?” Anne said, eyeing everyone. “Why is everyone looking at me like that?” She turned to you in hopes you would help her case again, but knowing the context of your trip, you forced yourself to not give in.

She gritted her teeth, noticing the shift in the air. In the next second, she reached into the pockets of her faded overalls and pulled out a pocket knife with a semblance of confidence on her face. “I-I’ll have you know that even if I’m still a kid, I know my ways with this knife and I killed people with it too.”

“Yeah, and we are all clowns on a trip to honksville,” you muttered to no one in particular. Though if your ears weren’t tricking you, you could hear the faintest huff coming from the delinquent beside you.

Realistically speaking, there was no way she can fend us off with a simple display of cockiness. There’s no way she’s the user. She’s too keen in using that tiny blade and in defense of her ego, that Stand should have appeared by now.

“How about we just throw her off again?” Polnareff suggested. “Minus one of us coming after her, of course.”

“That’s just jumping into conclusions Pol, let’s not get ahead of ourselves,” you retorted.

“Y/N’s right,” Kakyoin butted in. “For all we know, she might not be the Stand user at all.”

The old man hummed in thought. “What shall we do about this?”

“You,” Avdol pointed at Anne. “How’s DIO doing? Is he well in his humble abode child?”

“I don’t even know who DIO is! You’re not making any sense!” Anne replied, frustration clear in her voice. “Can’t I just hop onboard in peace?”

“Is this girl our stowaway?”

Two other sailors reached forward to grab Anne, prompting you to instinctively take a step forward. “Thanks for grabbing her for me.” The urge intensified once the newcomer was the one to hold the kid still.

Everyone’s gaze was cast towards the man walking onto the deck- a muscular blonde adult with a moustache and soul patch sporting a red scarf around his neck. The hat on his head indicated that he was in charge of the boat. “I’m pretty strict when it comes to stowaways on my ship here. You may be girl but if I go easy on you, we'll just get more and more stowaways."

The captain’s hold tightened significantly, causing Anne to shriek and drop the knife onto the floorboards. “Hey!” You gritted your teeth.

"I think we'll lock you up in the brink below deck until we make it into port."

You kept yourself reigned in, but the feeling of doubt simmered in you the moment he entered the scene. You weren’t sure if it was overthinking or relating it to past events, but his aura wasn’t to be trusted. Could he be…?

You didn’t want to jump into conclusions, but it couldn’t be helped. Before you had any other thing to say, Joseph entered the conversation with a question. "Hey captain, I'd like to ask you something. You verified the identities of all 10 men on board, haven't you?"

"Of course, they're all veterans. Each one of them worked on this ship for over 10 years. I vouched for every single man." He transferred the girl into the grasp of his sailors as the blond turned to face the group. "I'm not sure why you're so worried about that since I gave you my word from the very beginning."

“Sir, apologies for butting in, but I’m afraid the situation’s already been handled.” The captain narrowed his eyes at you, not expecting anyone to talk back to him. “I’ve already talked things out with her and because we’re in the middle of the ocean, there’s not much options offered on the table.”

“Plus,” you narrowed your eyes back at him. “It’s a tad bit suspicious you’re bringing a child with you to some secluded section of your ship. After all, more eyes mean less chances for her feisty attitude to shine and commit further petty crimes like theft or damage of property.” Anne looked at you and you winked. She beamed at the implied support.

While your companions liked your open approach, the captain expressed otherwise with a subtle twitch in his eye. He cleared his throat and left Anne’s and the 2 sailors’ side, walking toward you with a menacing gait.

Your face steeled into smug ignorance and you refused to budge an inch, but your unruly friend did. The second he stepped within close proximity, Jotaro stepped forward and used an arm to nudge you back so you stood behind him.

And the captain shifted his attention to the teenager, only for the blonde to snag the cigarette off his mouth.

Both you and the delinquent glared at the captain, who pointed the stolen cig at your direction. "I must request that you not smoke on deck. What were you planning to do with the ash and butt once you were done? Were you just gonna toss them into these pristine waters?"

“You may be a guest on this ship, but you will abide by my rules." He looked at you. “That applies to you too girl.”

Using the cigarette, he pressed the butt against the gold of Jotaro’s hat and everyone who knew the teenager stilled, including yourself. No one dared to mock the delinquent, more so with actions, and observing his stunned and likely insulted expression, he was going to have his way with the captain soon.

“You 2 kids got that?” He had the audacity to flick the remains of the cig at your face before pocketing it in the raven-haired’s pants and walking away with a new air of smugness around him.

You cursed, swiping your face free of ash residue. “That bitch ass-“

“Hold it, pops.” Just as you finished getting rid of the ashes, you and the captain paused at the teenager’s statement. “If you don’t want me to smoke aboard the ship, then just tell me. Don’t be a condescending prick about the whole thing, you jackass.”

The adult gaped at the direct insult. There it is. About time his bluntness came to surface. “Hey Jotaro, don’t be disrespectful to the captain. You’re the one at fault.” Joseph said and directed his next sentence to you. “And Y/N, you just can’t speak to the authority like you know better.”

You and the delinquent scoffed at the same time. “Speaking up is wrong now Mr. Joestar? In defense against buff adult men restraining a young girl with unnecessary force? Besides, I did say ‘sorry’ and continued speaking as respectful as possible to his sketchiness.”

Jotaro continued, adding to your sentiments. “His rules don’t mean shit. we’ll be as rude as we want. And you know why?” You furrowed your brows at him. You had a suspicion and you figured he had the same idea.

“The captain is the Stand user.”

Your companions gasped, excluding yourself. You knew there was something wrong with the blond and the way he carried himself throughout the interactions between him and the Joestar group. It said arrogant and smugness. Like he had ulterior motives in mind.

You glared at the captain as he played dumb and asked, “A Stand user? I’m not sure I follow. What is that?”

“That’s completely impossible Jotaro. We chose Captain Tennille because he came recommended with the verification by the Speedwagon Foundation,” Avdol remarked. “He’s someone we should trust. There’s no chance he’s a Stand user.”

You two were unconvinced. “Hold on. What’s this ‘Stand’ thing? I have no idea what you guys are talking about.”

“Okay, cut it out with the bullshit,” you bit at the captain, catching him off guard with your tone. “One question about Stands is fine, but repeating it for the second time is just a dead giveaway.” You crossed your arms. “I’ve experienced enough to detect a liar when I see one.”

The delinquent peered at you for a second as if there was something noteworthy in your little statement.

“You guys, random guesses will only make things more confusing!” Polnareff exclaimed, prompting Kakyoin to question the raven-haired student for proof.

“I found a way to differentiate Stand users from others,” Jotaro said, raising a finger to his face. “The trick is to watch a possible Stand user around cigarette smoke because a single whiff,” he pointed to the bridge of his nose. “Makes a vein pop-up on their nose.”

All your allies’ hands, including yourself, went flying to their nose, feeling for a blood vessel protruding underneath the skin. You smacked your friend square in the shoulder, not that he felt it considering his size and your smaller hands.

“What the hell Jot- I’ve been hanging around your smoking ass all this time and now you’re just telling me that a vein’s been popping up here?!” You gave another smack for good measure. “If repetitive exposure makes this permanent, I swear you’ll be paying for my dermatologist.”

Jotaro arched a brow at you with what you interpreted as amusement, before sighing it away. “Calm down woman. I’m just telling you that now because I lied.”

You were about to smack him one more time to complete the charm, but the ploy simply made you go “ahh” and your hand fell to your side. “I’ll take those smacks back then.”

“That said,” he turned to the rest of the group, his voice louder for everyone to hear. “It looks like we found the idiot, didn't we?"

With that brought up, you noticed every male within the area had their fingers touching their nose. Anne, on the other hand, stood by with confusion etched on her face.

But Tennille had his finger up just like the others.

And just like that, the imposter discarded his façade and revealed his true nature- A Stand user wielding the Naga-like Dark Blue Moon representing the obvious Moon tarot card.

He was quick to act with the Stand kidnapping a panicked Anne into its arms, Tennille challenging your team to fight him in aquatic territory where he had the advantage, and leaping off the rails to dive into the waves.

However, Jotaro wasn’t the type to delay his actions. Seeing the opportunity, he sent Star Platinum out and delivered a barrage of punches to the enemy Stand with before it could touch the water below without harming the girl in its hold due to its sharp precision. Delivering one strong blow, Star sent Dark Blue Moon (and by extension fake Tennille) into the sea, catching Anne’s wrist at the same time.

In the process, he hunched over the side, grunting as he struggled to pull her up. Wait, he shouldn’t be struggling. You rushed over to his side to hold him back, two fabrics manifesting to wrap themselves around the delinquent as additional help. “Can any of you help here?!” You called out to the bystanders.

Joseph was the first to respond and went to his grandson’s other side to help pull him back. You wanted to know what the problem was and on closer look, you detected the issue from the get-go. On the wrist of Star Platinum were an encrustation of barnacles climbing up its wrist, dragging him down as they bite into the skin and drain its strength.

Blood spurted out Jotaro’s hand as a reflection of Star’s injuries. He clicked his tongue in frustration. “Let go.”

“What?!” You retorted.

“The damn thing’s spreading up my arm. That fucker’s still down there causing this.” He turned to look at you. “I need to teach him a lesson.”

You were wary about his decision but damn it, he made a point. If this was left as is even after saving Anne, who knows what would happen when the barnacles overrun his entire body. Reluctantly, you nodded, loosening your grip on him. The old man followed with the same hesitation.

Slowly, his body turned over the railing and just as he was about to slip past it, Stat Platinum launched Anne up just as Jotaro plunged into the depths below. Fabrics shot out immediately to catch the girl and pull her up to safety.

With her dealt with, you and the others could do nothing at the moment but watch the constantly moving waves surrounding the spot he dove into, hoping he would pop up in a short while mostly unscathed and the enemy defeated.

For the first few seconds, nothing happened on the surface. Minutes later, the water stirred in a slow spiral, gradually increasing speed as more seconds passed until a raging whirlpool was formed.

What’s happening down there? Your hands tightened around the bars of the rail. Come on, be done with him and come up already. “Someone’s got to help him.” Beside you, Kakyoin gritted his teeth and sent out Hierophant, shooting its tentacles into the water.

He cursed out of the blue and withdrew them immediately, both you and the cherry-haired student stunned to see blood seeping out from the cuts on his hand. “It’s no use. The water’s filled with razor-sharp scales flowing along the current.”

“So then, there’s nothing we can do but hope he gets out of this alive,” Avdol said.

You considered. Your Stand has the ability to protect you and others from incoming threats thanks to its extremely durable taut cloth. If it can fend off against the sheer strength of Star’s fist, the sharp appendage of Tower of Gray, and the blades of others from way before without being injured-

“Not if I have a say in it.”

All of Joseph’s crew turned to you as you concentrated all your will into one space until a translucent figure emerged from you in broad daylight. You gaped at the familiar entity- The flowing veil obscuring upper half of her face, the billowing dress with shimmering mist replacing where her legs should be, and the numerous rose gold cloths that wrap around the entirety of her body, its silky surface metallic and glinting.

Silent Sanctuary’s whole form.

“Y/N-san’s Stand! It revealed itself!” Avdol exclaimed, stunned along with the others.

You didn’t have time to entertain their awe and focused on the task at hand. She couldn’t go too far from you but her fabrics could. Letting Sanctuary hover a few distance away from you past the deck, she unraveled parts of her back to pull out wide strips of cloth, stuck together to form 2 batches big enough to serve as a wall.

You took a deep breath and the Stand shot her fabrics straight into the scale-riddled whirlpool, one batch stationed 3 meters away from the other, stopping the flow of scales and providing an opening for a safe exit to the surface. As expected, the razor edge of the debris didn’t deal damage to your Stand.

She unwrapped a segment of her arm to form more strips of cloth, and using them like a fisherman on a normal day, plunged the fabrics into the opening and into the water, hoping someone would grab hold of them.

✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧

Jotaro could feel the strength deplete from him the more damned barnacles spread from Star Platinum’s arm up to its shoulder until they encased majority of its body. It didn’t help either when he also lied limp amidst the fucking whirlpool of scales the imposter made to conserve energy.

Beneath him, Tennille grinned as he waited for him to give in, spewing out more words of victory as if he paid attention to what he was saying to begin with.

It was pain he had to deal with this here. He was already at a disadvantage being underwater and now he can’t move because of the barnacles seeping his strength.

He gritted his teeth. Come on think damnit.

Just as an idea came to mind, his thoughts came to a halt as something entered the waters beside him, bypassing the whirlpool of scales. One glance and he recognized what they were- Fabrics. Your Stand’s fabrics.

Another set of them plunged shortly after, these ones hanging beside his head. A rope.

“How the fuck?!” Jotaro heard the fake captain from below, the water shifting slightly to the movement of Blue Moon’s propulsion toward him.

He wasted no time and immediately reached up to grab the rose gold cloths, and in an instant, they wrapped themselves around his wrist and all of a sudden, his body was pulled upwards. However, Tennille was close behind, furious at the unexpected interruption.

He still had enough strength to execute one more move to deal with the impostor for good.

Shooting in-between the provided opening your Stand made, he breached through the surface and turned his attention back to the sea beneath him. At the exact moment Dark Blue Moon jumped out, Star pointed two fingers at his direction and breaking past the crust, its fingers extended at a rapid pace, piercing through one pair of the aquatic Stand’s eyes, and by extension, through Tennille’s head.

And for the first time in a while, hearing the bastard cry out in agony as he sunk back into the depths, accompanied with his Stand’s freedom from the barnacles, sent waves of relief throughout his body.

His body was plopped back on the wet floorboards of the ship and he landed with a grunt. He coughed, clearing his throat free from the remaining seawater that got inside as he got up onto his elbows. However-

“Jotaro-ssi, are you okay?” There it is again. The unusual honorific. He saw you rush over to him, getting down on your knees for you to grab his hand and inspect it, unaware of your tiny slip-up. Luckily for him, the minor cuts on his arm from earlier had closed which prevented further bleeding. “I had a hunch he’d be able to do something like that but the scales? If those weren’t there, things would’ve ended up quicker.”

The delinquent remained silent as you sighed with relief at the lack of major injuries, but just as he was about to adjust his hat, he noticed a single strip of rose gold still remained wrapped around his wrist. His gaze travelled up the cloth until he saw your Stand for the first time.

It was exactly the you described it during the days when Jotaro and you simply hung out at the rooftop- ghost-like and ominous-looking. Just like you, Silent Sanctuary seemed to share your level of concern over his well-being, noted through its attention solely focusing on him.

And for the first time in front of you, he let the tiniest of smiles crack on his face as he huffed out an imitation of a chuckle.

You snapped your head to him as you heard that loud and clear. Who knew seeing your expression beam from such a miniscule effort was this satisfying? “Looks like you finally kept your promise about showing me your Stand.”

“I didn’t show her to you before?” You said with a faint blush on your cheeks, alternating your gaze between the hovering figure and him. “Oh gosh, I swear I could’ve introduced her to you earlier if you weren’t… you know, in jail.”

“It’s fine,” Jotaro returned to his usual deadpan face as he rose his arm bearing Sanctuary’s cloth. “Would you mind?”

You blinked a couple times before you caught the meaning of his request. The cloth loosened around his wrist and withdrew back into the Stand’s arm, followed by it disappearing into you shortly after.

Multiple people called out to him and you took this as a cue for you to leave him be with the rest, but just as you were about to retreat while the others came to him, he called out to you. “Oi.”

You turned your head to him with a responding “hm?”

Jotaro tipped his hat, sighing. “Thanks… for earlier.”

With cheeks blooming a visible pink, you smiled and nodded in return.
