One Piece: Trying 200 times harder, but being too overbearing.

Because it was nighttime, navigation was quite difficult. Not only was it hard to discern directions, but the weather in the New World was also a great challenge.

Right now, the warships are simply drifting at sea.

Normal sailing will only begin after daybreak.

"Go to Branch G-5 first!"

"G-5 Branch?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, not understanding why they were going to G-5. Squadron 11 was a pirate-slaying squadron, so they should be looking for pirates, right?

"Let's go visit someone!"

Loya's eyes were sharp.

Know yourself and the enemy, a hundred battles will never end.

First, let's go to the G-5 branch to check things out and see what's going on there.

Luckily, there were acquaintances in the G-5 branch who were familiar with the surrounding waters. Gathering some intelligence along the way was better than wandering around aimlessly on my own.

His target is the base commander of G-5!

Chapter 118 Naval Paradise: G5 Branch

G-5 Branch is an outlier naval unit that disobeys even orders from headquarters. Due to its egregious behavior, it is even referred to as an illegal group by outsiders.

Strictly speaking, G-5 is the only naval fortress located in the New World, while the G-1 branch is merely guarding the gate.

In the morning, the warships led by Loya arrived at the G-5 branch.

From a distance, Fort G-5 exudes a distinctive character; even the outer walls of the fortress have many cracks that have been nailed together with wooden planks, resembling band-aids.

After a brief communication via Den Den Mushi, the G-5 branch readily approved the docking application.

"Huh, these guys aren't so obedient," Tina thought, puzzled.

Tina looked puzzled. She had thought that the G-5 branch would refuse them access to the shore, or even fire two artillery shells as a deterrent.

Let alone the warships of the G-1 branch, even if the warships of the headquarters were to arrive, their ability to dock would depend on the mood of those rogue marines.

That's how the G-5 branch works.

G-5's status in the Navy is roughly equivalent to a dumping ground for junk; to put it more vividly, it's similar to how Vice Admiral Momonga treats Black Hair.

Out of sight out of mind.

At the port, a dark mass of G-5 marines poured out, each dressed in a rather rude manner, with ferocious and eccentric expressions, showing no signs of what a navy should look like.

"The black-haired brother is here!"

"Let's line up and welcome them, show some spirit!"

"Oh oh oh!"

When Loya and his men arrived ashore, the marines immediately came to greet them. The man in the lead was dressed in floral shorts and a t-shirt, along with a military overcoat and metal boots, a rather distinctive outfit.

"I am Brigadier General Guotou, commander of Unit 06, Branch G-5!"

Brigadier General Guo introduced himself and was quite enthusiastic: "Welcome to the G-5 branch, Black-haired brother. During the previous training camp, my men were well taken care of by you. Thank you very much!"

"Of course, Brigadier General."

Loya shook hands with Brigadier General Guotou, then looked at the subordinates behind him, all of whom were familiar faces.

Pique, Bomba, Jero

"Brother Black Hair, we've been looking forward to you coming to G-5 for ages!"

"That's right, Brother Black Hair, you've been making quite a splash lately!"

"The Mohican Legion is awesome!"

"Hey, Black-haired Bro, where did your mohawk go?"

Pique and the others chatted amongst themselves, but eventually their gazes all fell on Loya's head. The mohawk that had excited them was gone, replaced by a slicked-back hairstyle.

Disappointment was evident in his expression.

Loya's lips twitched.

He didn't actually like the mohawk hairstyle, that's why he changed it. After leaving the G-1 branch, he risked his life to stimulate his scalp and make his hair grow back.

However, his subordinates didn't have that ability.

"Oh! It's the Mohican Legion!"

"so hot!"

Everyone's attention was quickly drawn to Barto and his friends, their eyes sparkling, clearly showing their immense admiration.

This is the scent of our kind!

"Haha, black-haired brother, come inside the fortress and rest for a while. We've prepared plenty of entertainment for you!"

"it is good!"

Brigadier General Guotou led the way. G-5 was extremely unwelcoming to the regular marines, but to the black-haired man and his men...

We're all brothers and sisters!

Loya was also very comfortable; coming to G-5 felt like coming home.

Inside the fortress, there was an artistic atmosphere everywhere, with graffiti and other gaudy elements, giving Loya the feeling of being in a New York subway station.

Its main theme is unrestrained!

"Black-haired brother, come this way!"

Soon, Loya witnessed the entertainment program prepared by the G-5 branch.

In the center of the training ground, a reservoir was dug, in which several fat sharks were kept. There was also a special fishing platform next to the reservoir, where several pirates were hanging from thick fishing rods.

"Help! Let us go!"

"I'm sorry, I was wrong!"

"Damn it, you don't deserve to be in the Navy!"

The pirates turned pale, begging for mercy and hurling insults, but the surrounding marines remained unmoved, becoming even more excited.

He chuckled and said, "Black-haired bro, wanna try the shark fishing game?"

"This is it."

Loya was speechless.

Is he really that bored?

"Barto, you guys go have some fun."

"Hehehe, thank you, Colonel!"

Barto, who had been eagerly anticipating the fishing, immediately led his men forward with permission from Loya, picked up fishing rods, and shouted excitedly.

They absolutely love the G-5!

Loya sighed silently and followed Brigadier General Guo to his office.

Brigadier General Guo Tou skillfully took out the drinks, then scratched his head sheepishly, saying, "Brother Black Hair, we don't have anything as fancy as coffee or tea here, only alcohol."

"."

Hey, drinking in a military camp isn't right!

Loya was speechless.

"Is Lieutenant General Vergo not here?"

"No, Lieutenant General Vergo is often away on business and rarely stays at the base."

He casually replied, opened the bottle and chuckled, "Don't worry, you can do whatever you want at G-5 base. The only rule here is that there are no rules, and Lieutenant General Vergo never interferes with us."

"."

Wow, not bad at all!

Loya felt he had underestimated the extent of the G-5 branch's debauchery.

This is no fortress; it's clearly an unmanaged prison.

Loya explained his purpose: "Commodore, I've come here to request sea charts of the area around the G-5 branch, as well as information on the routes of pirate activity."

"I see, please wait a moment."

After rummaging through the drawer for a while, he took out a crumpled nautical chart. Although it was a bit dirty, the nearby islands were marked fairly clearly.

Dressrosa, Provence, Kingdom of Magalhã

In addition to the surrounding countries, there are numerous islands.

Three islands are highlighted: Thor Island, Ridgride Island, and Mystria Island.

These three islands were the first stop for pirates after they arrived in the New World, and the starting point of the three shipping routes, attracting a large number of pirates.
