Stone Ocean - Chapter 139
Summary
As Jolyne, Emporio, Ermes, and Anasui approach Cape Canaveral, Emporio pulls out his ghost computer out of his bag and uses it to display a map of the site, much to Ermes's struggle to hold it initially. Emporio and the others try to think of a course of action, but a distracted Jolyne noticed that animals are running wildly alongside the road.
The car's engine stops working and everyone sees that somehow, many people and miscellaneous items are rolling toward them, soon followed by a mass of cars. It is not until Ermes begins to be mysteriously attracted to the back of the car that the group understands that gravity is now pulling them sideways. Their car begins to also fall toward the horizon. Although Jolyne, Emporio, and Anasui manage to hang onto a railing, Ermes remains trapped and disappears into the horizon.

Trivia
- In the Weekly Shonen Jump edition, this chapter was given the opening tagline "Emporio casually... proves his usefulness!" (何気にエンポリオ…使える男!!, Nanige ni Enporio... tsukaeru otoko!!). The tagline, one of many during Stone Ocean's serializations to have awkward writing, was later printed in JOJOVELLER as a stand-out example.
