Everything was in place, the Grandline cleansing was a cover-up for a bigger plan. That was the recruiting of High value individuals, from Kuzan, he heard Ainz and Binz decided to join SWORD with him, meeting up with Koby and Helmeppo.
Galan called for an influx of Amazonians and recruited from various races, he even received more Fish-Men from Fish-Man island after Luffy traveled there declaring his sovereignty over the island as his territory.
Needless to say, the Fish-Man unit was watching everything from behind the scenes. They gave in the report of what Straw Hat Luffy did before convincing the Fish-Men that joining the Marines would improve their image.
As a result, Galan spoke with King Neptune via snail from one of his Units. In the end, the Marines established a base on Fish-Man island. Every pirate that came through was scanned and heavily monitored.
Their weapons were taken away at the gate and they were allowed to enjoy Fish-Man island given that they followed the rules and didn't harm anyone.
The Fish-Man from Whitebeard's crew was a bit angry but Jinbe had a chat with him, he finally decided to watch over Fish-Man island in secret, if these Marines were wolves then he would kill them all!
However, Galan sent his best unit! If he sent some racists and made problems, it would spiral out of control very fast! The unit was full of different races, many Humans but also a few Minks, some Amazonians, even Fish-Men.
As expected the Fish-Men were manipulated and started joining the Marines.
The Base on Fish-Man island was named 'F-1'. Mainly because Galan was 100% sure that there were other underwater Islands. It was impossible for all the Fish-Men of the world to be in one place.
The world they lived in was 90% water!
How could all Fish-Men choose to live in the same place?
Just like Oars Jr., his father Oars the Continent Puller was from the Outer seas.
These Outer Seas were a mystery to everyone as nobody actually had traveled out so far and came back. Everyone who went up disappeared mysteriously.
Galan wasn't going to send marines on a trip of no return, but he was curious, maybe there were also people in those places? The Outer seas were just a general term, these places referred to the seas in the extreme north and south.
As Vegapunk called them, 'The Poles' Galan had no idea what that meant, but he wasn't about to send a suicide squad for a baseless mystery out of curiosity.
Whoever, or whatever, lived in these Outer Seas, clearly had no intentions of coming to the populated areas. Why would Galan go and poke a sleeping beast to find out if it was a kitten? Simply retarded.
Maybe the World Government would do this, but he wasn't such a fool.
However, this presented a fact, or rather a possibility, that there could be other races living in these Outer Seas. Hence the naming of F-1 Marine Base. Should new Fish-Men islands be found, there would be an F-2, F-3, etc.
Galan had also worked on the Sky Islands, naming them 'S-1' and so on, applying the same concept.
Even in the sky, evil exists. Galan heard it from the mouth of Skypieans when he visited Sky island. The Straw Hats saved them too. Olvia lamented that these children were simply Marines in Pirate skin.
Galan had to agree, most of the time Luffy's crew was more effective than the Marines. In a way, they could be considered a branch of SWORD…
All in all, many people were being recruited for the Marines, however, they didn't know that they had a greater use. Although, this was all in the future. For now, Galan had no psychological burden brainwashing these people into Justice fighters. When the time came for them to be useful, they wouldn't hesitate which is what Galan wanted.
He didn't need flip-flopping recruits, he needed well trained Soldiers!
He also found out a little secret of Kaido, whether this would be a positive in Galan's plans or not… He couldn't tell at the moment.
Once again, he only needed an opportunity, a single misstep and everything would set off an explosive reaction, finally following a fuse to Mariejois!
But when would that fuse come?
Galan sighed to himself, this was a massive headache, it was impossible to know.
Just as he was fretting over his plans, Olvia raised her brows and said "Galan!" Galan turned to look at her and she waved him over quickly, holding her ear with a frown.
He walked over with a frown of his own, she pulled his collar close to her face and put the earbug in between their ears. Galan's eyes fluctuated, "Doflamingo gave up his Warlord status?!" Olvia was ecstatic, saying "We can move on him now, right?!"
Galan held her hand, pushing it down as he continued listening to the report with a frown, "This is illogical, he wouldn't do this, unless-" Galan narrowed his eyes, "Unless he was baiting someone." Olvia snorted and frowned, "Who could he be baiting?"
Galan straightened out, saying slowly "Smoker reported the events at Punk Hazard to me, but he was covering up something. I don't believe he did this alone with Law, there must've been someone else. Judging from the last known sighting of Luffy's crew where Z was, their closest next destination would be Confetti Island… But in between Confetti and Piriodo Island is…"
Olvia said in enlightenment "Punk Hazard!" she looked up at him saying "You mean to say that Law betrayed the Marines and made an alliance with Monkey-chan to take down Doflamingo?" Galan replied "Law destroyed the SMILE factory on Punk Hazard. This factory was making Artificial Devil fruits, but only Zoans… What's the reason for this?"
Olvia didn't think about this but calculated, "So Law and Monkey-chan formed an alliance to go after Doflamingo, but it doesn't make sense to destroy a SMILE factory on Punk Hazard, unless there was a connection to Doflamingo. So we can assume that Doflamingo was the main perpetrator of this SMILE factory, Dressrosa probably has one of these factories as well, but there haven't been any reports of SMILEs being sighted on Dressrosa, not even a single Zoan…"
Olvia looked at Galan, who furrowed his brows as they said in unison, "Kaido." Olvia clapped and laughed "Hahaha! Yes! People in love think alike! Just as I expected!" Galan ignored her nonsense and frowned "So they want to use Kaido to destroy Doflamingo… It makes sense, as far as Law knows Doflamingo killed Rosinante who was Law's surrogate father. Or no…"
Galan narrowed his eyes, "They want to take down Kaido himself. They want to cut Kaido at the knees with this SMILE business and remove his Underworld connection through Joker… This is an opportunity."
Olvia asked "Play the oriole?" Galan rolled his eyes, replying "For lack of a better term, yes. Where is Issho?" Olvia looked at the records before replying strangely, "Dressrosa…" Galan nodded, saying "As expected, the blind man sees the world clearer than the rest. Have him contact me on a private and secure line. This time, this stupid fuck isn't going to get his way, Doflamingo dies."
He frowned and clenched his fists, "I failed Dressrosa before, this time I will not." Olvia smiled tenderly, saying "I love you." Galan said with annoyance, "Stop talking nonsense and get it done." Olvia giggled cutely, saluting as she said loudly "Yes, sir, Fleet Admiral-kun, sir! Can I request a cuddle session tonight, sir!"
Galan felt like his chest was going to explode and he ignored her, walking to the war table with an annoyed look on his face. Olvia looked at him and laughed happily before going to work.
