Summary
As DIO stares at his reflection in a mirror, he asks Enya Gail about what it means to live. She answers with 'to obtain one's desire'. DIO states that there will always be a battle to obtain one's desires and when the battle is lost, they will feel a sense of failure and fear for the next battle. He mentions that conquering fear is what he believes to be what its means to live. Enya reminds him of the power of DIO's Stand and his immortality and asks him if he fears anything. DIO responds by saying that the Joestars are not what he's afraid of but rather the fact that he cannot underestimate them. Enya tells him that there are seven Stand users already on their way to eliminate the Joestar group and to not worry about eliminating the group himself.
On the ocean, the Joestar group and the crew of sailors that followed discover a large freighter. The group searches the freighter only to find it completely abandoned but with all its machinery still functioning. The girl, Ann, finds an orangutan in a cage but Joseph dismisses it and suggests they split up to find its owner. While the group was on the deck, a sailor was impaled by the hook of a crane even though it was not functional and the sailors claim that the crane moved on its own. Joseph instructs the sailors to head down to the cabin and Kakyoin uses Hierophant Green to search the ship for any signs of a Stand.
Ann goes back to the room with the orangutan and it signals her to unlock the cage door. It tries to give her an halved apple for compensation and she notices it was freshly cut. The orangutan proceeds to light a cigarette for itself and read a pinup girl magazine. Back on the deck, Kakyoin states to the group that he can't find any other signs of life anywhere on the freighter. As Ann observes the sailors trying to use the radio, she realizes that the saltwater was making her body sticky and heads to the shower room to wash it off. The sailors are shown dead as the orangutan opens the door to the shower room. Jotaro sees the orangutan's cage door open. Just as the orangutan attempts to attack Ann, Jotaro hits it in the head with a lock. As he fights with it, he is suddenly hit by a fan and confirms the orangutan is a Stand user but wonders where's the Stand.
