Punk Hazard Dock.
Caesar saw the Marine warship and the people disembarking from it:
Smoker, Tashigi, Nami, Enel, Luo.
He did not recognize any of them.
But there was one highly recognizable face whose name Caesar could call out without a moment's hesitation.
He had only seen that news report a few hours ago in that day's newspaper: "Shichibukai Garen Weds Fish-Man Island Princess; Doflamingo May Be the Biggest Loser."
"Garen?"
