Strength (story arc)

Strength (力(ストレングス), Sutorengusu) is the fifth story arc in Stardust Crusaders.

It narrates the Joestar Group's encounter with a mysterious freighter in the middle of the sea.

Summary

The group boards a mysterious ship, only to find it completely empty. The only thing aboard is a single orangutan, who seems to have some unnatural tendencies. The orangutan named Forever kills the sailors that accompanied the group and assaults Anne in an attempt to rape her, but is stopped by Jotaro Kujo. The others are trapped by the ship itself, which bends over in unnatural ways due to a Stand no one can see. They come to the conclusion the ship is bound to the Stand Strength and Forever is its user, so Jotaro pummels him to death even after he surrendered.
