Sabaody Marine Base

The Sabaody Marine Base is a Marine Base located on the GR 66 of the Sabaody Archipelago and which is responsible of its security. When the Straw Hat Pirates first arrived there, the Marine Base's influence started at GR 30 and ended up at GR 79, letting the GR 1 to 29 be a lawless area where pirates and bounty hunters ruled. After the Marine Headquarters' location was moved to the New World, the Marine Base's influence weakened and the Archipelago became less safe and more difficult to protect.

Crisis at the Sabaody Archipelago
During the preparation for the Battle of Marineford, the Sabaody Archipelago Marine Base had to protect the Archipelago completely on his own. When it learned that Silvers Rayleigh was going to be sold as a slave, it surrounded the Human Auctioning the three pirate crews who managed to escape.

2 Years Later
When the Sabaody Marine Base learned that the (Impostor) Straw Hat Pirates were recruiting new members, it sent marines to GR 46 to confirm that they had come back to the Archipelago. After the investigating team "recognized" the Fake Pirates, the Marin es attacked the Auction House, the Marine Base was ordered to prevent them, the Heart Pirates and the Kie Base decided to evacuate the neighbor groves at he was going to GR 46 on ahead, with PX-5 and PX-7, explaining that the Marine Base was too much underestimating the Straw Hat Pirates.

The Marines sent 6 platoons to capture the Strawhats. However, due to various interruptions, they were stalled and were unable to catch them. The reasons were:
 * The first platoon (led by Sentomaru) were busy with the pirates gathered by the impostors;
 * The 2nd (1st back-up) platoon was being stalled by Silvers Rayleigh;
 * The 3rd (2nd back-up) platoon was incapacitated by depression (by Perona's Negative ghosts);
 * The 4th (3rd back-up) platoon was being attacked by giant beetles (presumably on Heracles orders);
 * nable to pursue due to their passage being blocked by okama's.
