History[]

Past[]

After Morgan was promoted from the rank of Chief Petty Officer to Lieutenant Commander for reportedly capturing the infamous "Kuro", and later making his way up to the rank of Captain,^[3] he became corrupted by his newfound fame. He went on to tyrannize the entire 153rd Branch, along with the town under its jurisdiction, for three years—an abuse of power in which his son, Helmeppo, eagerly took part.

East Blue Saga[]

Romance Dawn Arc[]

Their reign of terror came to an end when Luffy and Zoro defeated Morgan. Following his defeat, Morgan was dismissed from his position, and command of the base was handed over to Commander Ripper. Koby and Helmeppo remained part of the staff of the base until the transfer of the imprisoned Morgan to Vice Admiral Garp. During the transfer, Morgan managed to escape, after which Koby and Helmeppo came under Garp's command and began training under his tutelage.

Fish-Man Island Saga[]

From the Decks of the World[]

During the two year timeskip, Ripper became a Marine officer and Rika joined the base as a waitress.^[4]

Anime and Manga Differences[]

Kuro's Execution in the Anime — "Kuro's" execution taken place at the 153rd Branch in the anime

In the anime, Captain's Kuro's double was executed in a scene similar to Zoro's attempted execution at the same base.^[5]
