G-8

G-8, also known as Navarone, is a Marine base with buildings along the coast and the most important ones 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 G8 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.

Trivia

 * This base was shown in the fourth movie, and also featured Commander Johnathan in some of the pictures. The person at Navarone was not him though.
 * G-8, if pronounced, is gate, possibly because the base is so well fortified, or because the only way in or out is through a gate.
