Marine Headquarters, Prison No. 1.
This was where Marines who had committed offenses were imprisoned, though they were generally only minor or moderate mistakes. Those who committed serious crimes would be sent straight to Impel Down, the great prison beneath the sea.
Thus, this place was also known as the temporary prison, or the reform prison.
Located in a remote corner behind Marine Headquarters, hardly anyone ever came here. After all, no one had nothing better to do than run off to a dump like this.
Today, however, was somewhat different.
Two rows of soldiers stood outside the prison. At their head were Koby and Helmeppo, both watching the slowly opening gate with delight on their faces.
As the gate fully opened, a bald young man emerged in prison clothes, his two hairy thighs exposed. He yawned as he stretched his body, producing a series of cracking sounds.
"Colonel Wu Biao!"
The two rows of Marines, including Koby and Helmeppo at the front, bowed and shouted. Though Wu Biao did not care about such things at all, certain superficial rules still had to be observed within the Marines.
"Ha..." Wu Biao let out a long yawn and said boredly, "Where's that old man Garp? That old bastard actually tricked me into thinking there were lots of strong people in here."
"..." Koby and Helmeppo's mouths twitched, but they nevertheless stepped forward and handed Wu Biao a white coat and a cape.
Wu Biao casually took them, then tore off his tattered prison clothes and tossed them aside, putting on the white coat Koby had handed him right in front of everyone.
"Vice Admiral Garp set sail several days ago. Under orders from Fleet Admiral Sengoku, he went to Water 7 to capture Mr. Luffy and the others," Helmeppo answered.
