In the first half of the Grand Line, beneath the Red Line, stood the Marine Headquarters at Marineford, a fortress wielding the power of Absolute Justice.

In his tatami-floored office, Sengoku was poring over documents.

"Whitebeard's Second Division Commander, Portgas D. Ace, is suspected of making contact with Blackbeard Teach..."

Sengoku glanced over the list and named five people at once. "Momonga, Doberman, Onigumo, Kashou, and Gion. Send them."

"Yes, sir!" Brannew
