G-8

G-8, also known as Navarone, is a non-canon Marine Base with buildings along the coast and the most important ones are being held in a rock formation in the middle of the cape. The only way to enter and exit is through a large gate blocking the cape. It is the main setting of the G-8 Arc, in which the Straw Hat Pirates have to find their way out of the base.

The Marines of G-8 and Navarone are fiercely proud of their base and island and berate those who undermine its importance. However, the base is "peace crazy"; it is one of the most heavily defended and armed of the marine bases, yet sees very little trouble. This has gotten to the point that the first four rules of G-8 marines involve eating one's meals completely.

Notable Areas

 * Straw Bridge: a bridge leading from the coast to the center.
 * Devils Snare: an area of the bay, filled with cliffs that can capture any ship when there is low tide.
