The Red-Haired Pirates' way of landing on the island was truly unusual. Their ship had fallen from the sky, and the entire vessel was severely damaged.
Fortunately, the ship's keel did not seem to have suffered much damage. The vessel's overall structure remained remarkably intact, and more importantly, none of Shanks' crew had been injured.
The Red-Haired Pirates were a standard elite pirate crew. Aside from young Uta, who had been somewhat frightened, everyone else was already accustomed to such a "minor scene."
The pirates leaped down from the ship one after another and gathered around the Red Force.
"Ah, this is going to be troublesome!"
"We need to find somewhere to repair the ship first."
"Otherwise, we won't be able to continue sailing."
Shanks came down from the ship carrying Uta. After gently setting her on the ground, he looked at the badly damaged vessel and could not help sighing.
"Since you knew our ship would be unable to sail if it was badly damaged, you shouldn't have insisted on landing here in the first place."
"When we were underwater earlier, wasn't there a forest ahead of this town? There was a lake in that forest too."
"If we had landed there, the ship probably wouldn't have been damaged this badly."
Ben Beckman came to Shanks' side with one hand on his waist. Hearing Shanks' lament, he shook his head and spoke helplessly.
"You mean the Forest of the Sea?"
"Yeah, I didn't notice!"
"Hahahaha!"
The last time Shanks had come to Fish-Man Island was last time.
He had only been around ten years old then. So many years had passed that he no longer remembered much about Fish-Man Island.
Besides, while they had been underwater just now, the Red-Haired Pirates had been pursued by the island's Fish-Man Marines.
