Three of the levels are regular branches, that is, the first-level branch to the third-level branch.
In addition to the regular levels, there are two unconventional ones.
One is an outpost, usually consisting of a small team of twelve marines. Strictly speaking, this is not a branch, but more like a sentry.
The other type is a military town-type branch, which is the G-series branch.
These G-series branches are usually built in the first half of the Grand Line, or in the New World, guarding these important positions.
For example, the G8 branch commanded by Lieutenant General Jonathan, or the G1 and G5 branches in the New World, etc.
Each one is built like a fortress and is of a completely different level from ordinary naval branches.
Some important G-series branches even have tens of thousands of naval personnel stationed all year round.
At the same time, among these g-series branches, except for the g1 branch, which is a bit special because it is at the forefront of dealing with the four emperors, so the generals are stationed in rotation. The commanders of the other g-series branches are all at the lieutenant general level and have outstanding abilities.
Come and take charge.
Therefore, if we really want to say it, these G-series branches are the mainstay of the entire navy.
But what about the current sixteenth branch...
The warship slowly left the port. Sean glanced at the branch at the rear and sighed slightly.
Third class branch!
The lowest level in the Navy branch!!
Well, there is an outpost down there, and the third-level branch is not even the lowest level.
A little bit of comfort.
But no matter what, Sean has his own goal, and in order to achieve this goal, he must have a platform that allows him to completely unleash his skills.
The East China Sea won't work, and the headquarters won't work either.
The best way is to win or build a new g-series branch!
And the best location is New World.
Of course, this goal is impossible to achieve now. On the one hand, Sean has no military merit in the navy, and he does not have enough qualifications to obtain all this.
He doesn’t even have his own team yet.
In addition, the strength has not yet reached the point where it can cope with everything in the new world.
Therefore, Sean needs time and a springboard.
As a springboard, it is obvious that the branch in the Chambord Islands is impossible. Although it is relatively easy to obtain merit there, it is also known as the best stepping stone for naval promotion.
but...
That's not the place for Sean.
Because, if you want to survive in Shampoo, you must first learn how to be a dog!
Sean can't do this!
In contrast, staying in the East China Sea is relatively more suitable.
As for the problem that there are few pirates in the East China Sea, there are even fewer capable pirates, so there are also few achievements to be made.
But Sean wasn't worried about that.
I believe that I will occasionally take my troops out to practice in the future, and then if I go a little further, I accidentally cross a windless zone or something.
The old man from the Warring States Period shouldn't care too much about himself, right?
Besides, there is a legendary pirate on the East China Sea, and from some perspectives, his weight is not much worse than that of the Four Emperors.
Therefore, these are also the important reasons why Sean chose the Donghai branch.

"Brigadier General, it is expected that we will reach the target location in another half day!"
On the deck of the warship, Lu Qi walked to Sean and reported.
It had been two days since they went to sea, and except for a new pirate group that had just gone to sea, they had not seen any other pirates on the way.
The density of pirates in the East China Sea is the lowest among the four seas.
And it's still much lower.
However, the purpose of Sean's trip is very clear, the goal is...
The richest pirate group in the East China Sea, the Creek Pirates!
Why do you say the richest?
If you look at Creek, who directly pulled up fifty large pirate ships in the original work, you can imagine how rich this guy is.
Just the equipment he is wearing would probably cost hundreds of millions of Baileys to build.
And those fifty large pirate ships are unrealistic even if you don't have billions of Baileys.
Not to mention this guy's main ship, the Merry Huggies looked like an ant next to it, and it was definitely the size of a navy super warship.
Even Sean doubted whether this guy had huge assets worth tens of billions.
Otherwise, how could we maintain such a huge fleet and thousands of subordinates?
After all, if you want to get so many Baileys just by looting, you will have to do a lot of sensational things, and once that happens...
The headquarters has long been attracted to send high-level combat forces to attack, okay?
Where will the next 50 pirate ships enter the Grand Line?
I remember someone said in my previous life that compared to wealth, Crick might even be able to differentiate from the four emperors of the new world.
After all, they still have a large area to collect taxes, but why should Creek?
Where so much wealth comes from is really a mystery!
Of course, the most likely reason is that Oda didn't consider so many issues when he originally designed the Creek Pirates...
At this moment, there are still more than three years from the beginning of the original work, and Crick has not yet formed a large fleet.
According to the Navy's intelligence, Creek now has a bounty of 12 million Baileys and owns five pirate ships and about 600 men.
It's very different from the original work.
Interestingly, according to the intelligence, Creek has attacked two villages and robbed several merchant ships.
But if you look at the information carefully, you will find that the combined property losses of these two villages and the several merchant ships were only 80 million beli.
Not to mention, when Creek first appeared, it was already the size of five pirate ships.
So, where did this Bailey come from?
Either he already had a lot of property before he became a pirate, or this guy discovered some kind of treasure, a treasure as big as tens of billions of beli.
But no matter what, after getting the information from the Navy Headquarters yesterday, Sean was sure of one thing.
Today, Crick is already rich!
And there are quite a few!
"Commodore, at 13 o'clock, 7 nautical miles away, a warship of our navy was found, fighting with pirates!"
At this moment, the sailors on the warship's watchtower suddenly shouted to Sean on the deck.
"Can you confirm which branch it is from?"
"confirming!"
On the watchtower, the navy soldier observed with a telescope. After a while...
"Brigadier General, this is the 153rd branch of Shields Town. From the pirate side, the flag should be the Black Cat Pirates!"
Black Cat Pirates?
Sean was slightly startled!
Lu Qi, who was on the side, immediately spoke.
"The captain of the Black Cat Pirates is Crowe, who is also known as Baidu. It is said that this person has a very high IQ. He currently has a bounty of 16 million Baileys. He is one of the people with the highest bounty in the East China Sea."
As expected of you, Lucci!
As expected, Lu Qi is very conscientious. He probably knows all the pirate information in the East China Sea by heart.
"Lucci, order the navigator to come closer. Since we have encountered it, we cannot ignore it!"
"Yes, Brigadier!"
------
7 nautical miles away.
A pirate ship and a navy warship were now close to each other.
Waves of killing cries, accompanied by screams from time to time, constantly stimulated everyone's nerves.
Judging from the situation, the Navy is already in a desperate situation.
More than 80% of the sailors fell in a pool of blood, while the remaining dozen or so people, led by a major, huddled in a corner and continued to resist.
The resisters outnumbered them by seven to eight times!
As for that terrifying man, he hasn't made any move yet, he just stands behind and watches.
He seems to be very dissatisfied with the efficiency of his subordinates.
This is what scares the major the most!
"Captain, a warship is coming!"
"Support from branch 153?"
"No, the flag should be from the 16th branch!"
"Well, Branch Sixteen? That's just right. Xiluobu Village is very close to this branch. There's nothing wrong with leaving an extra secret!"
