Episode Title:
Marika Goes Recruiting.
Episode Description:
As Marika is given a break from her captaining duties, the entire crew gets infected with a disease carried by the monkeys they were transporting, putting them in isolation for two weeks. As such, Marika is asked to contact Show, head of the Harry Llyod Insurance Union, who tells her the crew is likely to be out of action for a month. As Marika deduces she needs to recruit a temporary crew to prevent Bentenmaru's pirating license from being revoked due to lack of activity, Gruier accompanies her to a relay station to search for candidates. While there, they end up encountering Chiaki and her father, Kenjo Kurihara, captain of the Barbaroosa. Kenjo reminds Marika that although skill, personality, and strength are good qualities for finding a crew, the most important thing to look for is to be able to trust in them. As such, Marika ends up recruiting the space yacht club.
