Xie Wen and the others did not have to wait long. Soon, a Marine warship flying a seagull flag approached from the distance.
So this really was Marine territory...
Since he had already guessed that this might be an area under official control, Xie Wen remained fairly calm. Besides, with his status as a Shichibukai, he had no need to worry about the Marines causing him trouble.
Still, Xie Wen grew curious about what this place was.
After all, an ordinary Marine Base would never deploy Territory Sea Slugs, and as far as he knew, the Marines' G-series bases could not reach this deep into the New World...
As far as Xie Wen knew, only Egghead Island, where Vegapunk lived, and the island used to store Dyna Stones in the movie met all those conditions: deep in the New World, a large Marine garrison, and no outsiders allowed near.
Yet there was nothing egg-like about the outline of the island before him. Even if it was still too early for Vegapunk to have finished remodeling the island, Luffy and the others had not encountered any warnings from Territory Sea Slugs in the manga.

Jinx Meow, on the other
