16th Branch

The 16th Branch Base is a Marine Base and the seat of the 16th Marine Branch in East Blue. It is commanded by Captain Nezumi. The 16th branch commanders code to the headquarters is 0073.

It was this branch which is responsible for the region of Conomi Islands which is where Cocoyasi Village belongs. It was also the one responsible for ignoring the activities of the fishman Arlong of the Arlong Pirates and his tyrannical rule on Cocoyasi.

They were also tipped off by Arlong and invaded Nami's and Nojiko's home and confiscated all 93,000,000, that Nami had gathered to buy her village's freedom. Their commander is later beaten up by Nami for it. Humiliated and injured, Nezumi furiously retreated to this base to report Monkey D. Luffy as a pirate to the Marine Headquarters.

Manga and Anime Differences

 * In the anime, the 16th Branch makes a quick cameo in Episode 490, when the Marines all over the world are celebrating their victory over the Whitebeard Pirates and the deaths of Portgas D. Ace and Whitebeard.
