"Shichibukai Red-Haired Shanks!"
The Red-Haired Pirates' name had not merely spread through the East Blue. Although the Red-Haired Pirates led by Shanks had remained in the East Blue during their early years and were relatively unknown worldwide,
ever since Shanks and his crew left the East Blue, their pirate crew's reputation had grown greater and greater.
Back when the Red-Haired Pirates were still "a hidden dragon in the depths," the World Government had already granted them the title of Shichibukai.
Across these seas, countless pirate crews wanted to pull off an "underdog victory," hoping to step on the Red-Haired Pirates to ascend to the pinnacle of the world and make a tremendous name for themselves.
But over the years, every single person who tried to challenge the Red-Haired Pirates had failed. The weaker ones were merely minor pirates with bounties of several million or tens of millions, while the stronger ones were "pirate rookies" with bounties exceeding one hundred million.
Yet rather than shaking the Red-Haired Pirates' position, the appearance of these challengers only made their status as Shichibukai even more secure.
As a Fish-Man Marine stationed on Fish-Man Island year-round, Arlong still knew of someone as important as Shanks.
After all, there were not many people in this world worthy of the New Marines' attention, and the Shichibukai Red-Haired Pirates happened to be one of them.
"The New Marines actually attacked a child like this? In your eyes, has a child like her committed some crime deserving death?"
Seeing that Arlong and the other New Marines recognized him, Shanks did not care in the slightest.
To Shanks, there were only a handful of people in the New Marines that dominated the New World who deserved his attention. He did not take these Marines on Fish-Man Island seriously at all.
