Mid-July, Marineford Era 1499.
The Marines' G-ICE Branch, located on Water Seven in the depths of the New World, had finally completed its initial construction and begun operating.
At the same time, Tsugikuni Yoriichi was stationed in Migo Town, several hundred nautical miles from Water Seven. With the support of the local residents, he successfully established a Marine outpost.

Tsugikuni Yoriichi did not even need to recruit craftsmen for the construction. People eagerly helped build the outpost, and they even arranged the lumber needed to construct the buildings.
Migo Town was a large town with a population of nearly one hundred thousand, and the Marine outpost built there was not small either.
Since it needed to coordinate with the G-ICE Branch on Water Seven from afar, Tsugikuni Yoriichi had assessed the manpower and combat strength needed to defend the place in the future from the very beginning.

Water Seven would be filled with five hundred personnel, while the Migo Town outpost under Tsugikuni Yoriichi would receive two hundred.
A recruitment plan for fewer than a thousand people was completed with practically no effort at
