As evening approached, the sea was golden, as if it were melted gold.
A round island floated in the midst of the golden water, its shores lined with white seashells, while beneath the cliffs lay huge black rocks. Waves crashed against the rocks, making a "whoosh" sound, and in the next moment, they shattered into thousands of silver blooms, resplendent in their splendor.
"Whoosh, whoosh..."
The sea breeze continued to blow, and wave after wave struck the rocks. In the distance, a completely black ghost ship appeared, drifting slowly toward them. It skillfully avoided the cliffs and reached a side of the beach—an improvised harbor.
"Creak—"
The ghost ship gave a loud creak as it came to a stop in the harbor, then the cabin doors opened. Four Sewing Monsters armed with Wolf Fang Clubs quickly herded the captives from the "Naru Glory Fisherman" off the ship, onto the beach, and then rushed them toward the depths of the island.
