Chapter 162 The Young Master Arrives At G-1 Marine Base.

G-1 Marine Base.

Unlike the typical Marine Base, the construction specifications of the G-1 Marine Base are notably powerful, comparable to that of Marine Headquarters Marineford located in the first half of the Grand Line.

According to unconfirmed rumors circulating within the Marine, when the G-1 Marine Base was being constructed, there were plans to implement a dual-track system.

That is to say, G-1 and Marineford will be established side by side as Marine headquarters.

But he doesn't know why, they didn't follow up this set up, but no matter what, G-1 has a special meaning for Marines, and no one can deny this.

In the original story, after Sakazuki became the new Fleet Admiral, with the momentum gained after defeating the Whitebeard pirates, he transferred Marine Headquarters from Marineford to G-1 in one go.

On one hand, this is due to Marineford being directly shattered into fragmented 'islands' during a major battle with Whitebeard. From any perspective, it is unsuitable to assume the crucial responsibility of Naval Headquarters.

On the other hand, Sakazuki is far more radical than Sengoku. After sweeping away the mountain known as Whitebeard, Sakazuki, as the new Fleet Admiral, hopes to eliminate all the great pirates in the entire New World.

Transferring Naval Headquarters from Paradise to New World is in order to carry out his will!

Kuzan's warship returned to G-1 today.

On the watchtower in the harbor, the serial number of Kuzan's warship was quickly determined, and the blockade was lifted.

At this time, Doflamingo was standing on the deck of the warship, looking at the majestic G-1 Marine Base in the distance, it was indeed impressive.

In the harbor, there are countless coastal defense guns, both large and small. Towering fortress structures, reminiscent in size of the Justice Fortress of Marineford, stand in the middle of the island.

There are two large G characters engraved on the wall.

It must be said that in terms of aura, the Marines truly embody the concept of "sea supremacy" with firmness.

Even Doflamingo, upon seeing the G-1 base at this time, could deeply sense that the Marines were not to be trifled with and possessed a profound heritage.

And the G-1 Marine Base is located in the sea area of ​​the New World gateway. Most of the pirates who have broken into the New World have the opportunity to come and pay their respects.

If you happen to be overwhelmed by the momentum of this G-1 base, you might as well concede three points to the Marines in advance.

"How is it? Our Marine is at the core of the New World" Kuzan walked up to Doflamingo and asked with a smile.

Some time ago, Kuzan resided in Dressrosa for nearly a week. During this time, he conducted extensive investigations on Dressrosa both openly and covertly, carefully observing the activities of the Donquixote Family.

Judging from Kuzan's perception of pirates, he feels that it is really difficult for him to regard the Donquixote Family lead by Doflamingo as a pirate group... because they are almost completely inconsistent with the definition of pirates.

But Kuzan also feels that they may not be pirates, but they are definitely not good people.

Of course, Kuzan considers this quite normal. However, he is also a little puzzled by the fact that both Sengoku Admiral and Tsuru's chief staff have described Doflamingo as inherently evil and incurable.

But he doesn't know if Doflamingo is hiding it too well, or there is some misunderstanding. In short, Kuzan doesn't think that Doflamingo is so evil and terrifying.

At least in his interaction with Doflamingo this time, he didn't feel that way.

In most cases, Doflamingo behaves more like an elegant nobleman, as the king of Dressrosa.

"Very powerful, very powerful." Doflamingo praised frankly.

Soon, the warship stopped in the naval port, and Doflamingo and Kuzan got off the warship together.

The broadcast in the port quickly relayed the incident.

"Shichibukai Don Quixote Doflamingo has arrived at the port pier, I repeat, Shichibukai Donquixote..."

It has to be said that regardless of how much Naval Headquarters dislikes the Seven Warlords of the Sea, they still observe all the necessary etiquette.

In the original story, before the war in Marineford, the Seven Warlords of the Sea arrived at Naval Headquarters and enjoyed a very high reception.

From the perspective of the administrative hierarchy within the World Government, the organization of the Seven Warlords of the Sea is on par with Naval Headquarters, and the regulation of this organization within the World Government is very stringent!

At the same time, because there is no unified leader, but since they are all very powerful, so in terms of treatment levels, a Shichibukai theoretically enjoys equal treatment with a Marine Admiral.

If a Seven Warlords of the Sea can have a leader, it should be at the same level as a Marine Fleet Admiral.

Of course, nowadays, the only Shichibukai is Doflamingo, and his treatment is equal to an Admiral.

The most straightforward manifestation is that whenever Doflamingo is invited to any institution under the World Government, the institution will treat him with the same attitude as welcoming a Marine Admiral.

When they arrived at the port, it was already noon, so Kuzan led Doflamingo into the VIP restaurant in the G-1 tower as they got off the ship.

"The food will be served soon, I need to report my task completion, you can rest here first." Kuzan said to Doflamingo.

"I haven't had the pleasure to enjoy Marine's food, fufufufufu, don't worry about me." Doflamingo said with a smile.

Kuzan nodded, but as he was about to leave the restaurant, he couldn't help but turn his head, wanting to offer some advice. However, before he could speak, Doflamingo calmly interjected: "Don't worry. As long as you Marines don't have any disrespectful individuals provoking me, I won't cause trouble here."

Seeing this, Kuzan stopped talking and left quickly.

After a while, a large number of Marine kitchen staff appeared in the restaurant, spreading all kinds of delicacies on the long table in front of Doflamingo at an extremely fast speed.

Doflamingo was also polite, he was indeed a little hungry, so he sat on the chair on the spot, opened a bottle of red wine, and started eating.

It can be said that the treatment given by the Marines is very high. While Doflamingo is eating here, and there are even Marine personal cutting his food and pouring wine beside him.

The effect of this service is almost comparable to his own maid team.

Just as Doflamingo put a piece of roasted sea beast meat into his mouth, a figure walked in from the restaurant door.

She is a beautiful woman, likely younger than thirty, boasting a slim figure and beautiful appearance. She wears a pink suit, a justice cloak adorned with Rear Admiral epaulettes, and a saber hangs from her waist.

Doflamingo recognized her at a glance. This is the future Marine's Admiral candidate‧ Momousagi, also known as Gion.

Looking at the epaulets, she seems to be Rear Admiral? Why did she actually participate in the action as one of the "Buster Call Five Vice Admirals" this time? Did they make a mistake?

Doflamingo looked at Gion with slightly puzzled eyes, and Gion also looked at Doflamingo with some curiosity.

"Would you like to join me for a meal?" Doflamingo extended the invitation.

The two sides didn't introduce themself to each other. Doflamingo felt that it was unnecessary, since he was invited here, the marines should know him. 

Gion felt that it was meaningless to introduce herself to a pirate.

After hearing this, Gion frowned and said, "Do you think all these meals are prepared just for you? This table is quite long... Mr. Sengoku and the others will join us later."

Doflamingo was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, looked at the few dishes that had already been ruined by him at this time, his face twitched a little and said: "Kuzan didn't mention this to me..."

Speaking of this, Doflamingo was silent again, he suddenly remembered that what Kuzan said was that the dishes would be served soon, telling him to rest here, but he did not say that these were all prepared for him.

But when he said such a thing at that time, everyone would misunderstand it, right?

And the waiters... they didn't stop me, and even poured wine for me. It was absolutely amazing.

Sure enough, just as Doflamingo fell into a bewildered silence in embarrassment, there was another burst of footsteps in the corridor of the restaurant.

Afterwards, Doflamingo saw his good brother Admiral Sengoku walking in together with a group of Marine's bigwigs.

General Staff Tsuru was there, Garp was there, and Sakazuki, who was beaten up by him on Sky Island, was also there, with a stinking face.

Of course Borsalino and Kuzan also came to.

As soon as everyone entered, they noticed that Doflamingo was already seated at the table, and some dishes had already been started... This confused them for a moment.

Doflamingo glared at Kuzan fiercely with resentful eyes, Kuzan scratched his head, wondering why he was staring at him.

"Cough..." Admiral Sengoku coughed lightly and said, "It seems that everyone is hungry, so let's eat first, let's talk while eating..."

The tables were long enough to accommodate more people dining together.

But for some reason, this guy Garp insisted on sitting next to Doflamingo, so he made a half-circle, walked over to Doflamingo and pulled the chair next to him to sit down.

Doflamingo turned his head to look at Garp beside him with some doubts, his expression seemed to ask what are you doing?

Garp carelessly said: "Last time in Logue town, I let you run away, let's compare now!"

Doflamingo frowned, is he planning to attack me?

But before Doflamingo could respond, Garp waved his hand and said, "Let's compete...who eats more!"

Doflamingo was silent for a while, and then asked: "By the way, how old is Mr. Garp this year?"

"Fifty-eight, what's the matter?" Garp responded naturally.

Seeing that Garp didn't react, Chief Staff Tsuru couldn't help but say: "People are saying that you are quite old, why are you still so naive..."

Admiral Sengoku picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip and said, "Let's talk about business, Doflamingo, how much does your Donquixote Family know about Douglas Bullet?"

Doflamingo wiped his mouth with a tissue, and said softly: "In the past few days, many people in the underworld have been looking for him. The last time I saw information about him he was on Beehive Island, which is Ochoku's territory. But unexpectedly, Bullet didn't have any conflict with Ochoku. It seems that after a simple replenishment, he left..."

General Staff Officer Tsuru put her hands together, propped her chin up and said, "It's almost the same as the information we have obtained so far...".
