The Red Force is the current ship used by the Red Hair Pirates, replacing their old ship.[2]

Ship Design and Appearance[]

This ship appears to be similar to their previous ship; however, it is much larger and has more detailed decorations. Notably the ship's figure head appears to be similar to the one boasted on the last ship, but more detailed and fierce looking. The vessel carries a bunch of palm trees on board, similar to how the Going Merry and the Thousand Sunny carried Nami's tangerine trees. It also boasts more sails than its predecessor.

History[]

Meeting With Whitebeard[]

The Red Force was first seen approaching the Moby Dick, so that Shanks could meet with Whitebeard.[1]

Summit War of Marineford[]

As the Summit War of Marineford went overboard, with the Marines trying to slay absolutely all pirates despite their obvious victory, the Red Hair Pirates arrived at Marineford on board the Red Force to end the war.[3]

One Piece Film: Red[]

The Red Force is seen in several flashbacks throughout the film, and once in real time at the very end.

The silhouette of the Red Force is seen during Luffy's flashbacks to his times with Uta, and her sudden and mysterious departure from the crew. It is next seen during Uta's account of why she was left on the now-destroyed island country of Elegia with Gordon, with the Red Hair Pirates on board, seemingly toasting their plunder of the island. It is shown again during the true account, told by Gordon, during which the toasting Red Hair Pirates are shown actually to be crying over and toasting to Uta, after having left her behind.

The Red Force was also seen briefly in Shanks' flashback during his and Luffy's joint attack against Tot Musica. The flashback shows the Red Hair Pirates celebrating a victory against another pirate crew, during which they sunk their ship and stole their treasure, which included a baby Uta locked inside one of the chests. (Interestingly, the Jolly Roger of the Red Hair Pirates, featured prominently on the sail of the Red Force, still includes a depiction of Shanks' iconic scar, despite the fact that Shanks' himself does not have the scar at this time.)

It is shown a final time, from a distance and from behind, after Luffy awakens aboard the Thousand Sunny. The Red Hair Pirates are shown gathered at the stern of the ship, surrounding what is presumed to be a coffin, draped with the Red Hair Pirates' Jolly Roger.[4]
