That evening, Julian and all the employees of Tom's Workers Shipyard, along with Tom, Franky, Iceberg, and the others, gathered at a grand hotel on Water 7's commercial street.
Julian also brought a large group of Flame Dragon Kingdom officials into the hotel. Yes, the usual arrangement: Julian and his people treated everyone from Tom's Workers Shipyard to a meal. All the employees knew that Flame Emperor Julian was now the ruler of the central region of the Grand Line. Anyone passing through Jaya Island had to show Julian some respect. Pirates who refused to do so had already become fish food at the bottom of the sea.
As for the Navy, they were even more respectful toward Julian. To the right of Jaya Island, roughly two islands away, was the G2 Branch where the Navy was stationed. During the Great Age of Pirates, the Navy had eighteen G Branches across the Grand Line and the New World. These G Branches were larger than ordinary Navy bases and had greater troop strength.
The ranks of the Navy officers stationed there were also higher. Julian knew that the G2 Branch Navy had been very polite. The Flame Dragon Kingdom's Dragon Guards had even gone around the G2 Branch to capture Slave Traders.
Major General Mole, the commander stationed at the G2 Branch, had been highly cooperative. He was also Dove Faction Navy Personnel, compassionate toward ordinary civilians, and very welcoming of the righteous acts carried out by Julian's people.
Julian had also issued a harsh warning: no Slave Trader ships or Pirate Crews that Burns, Kills, and Plunders were allowed within five hundred kilometers of Jaya Island. This forced those Slave Traders to take the far-right route of the Grand Line in an attempt to avoid the influence of Flame Dragon
