HistoryEdit
After Morgan was promoted from chief petty officer to the rank of lieutenant commander for reportedly capturing the infamous "Kuro", and then made his way up to the rank of captain,[2] he became corrupted with his new found fame and tyrannized the entire 153rd Branch and the town associated with it for three years, with his son Helmeppo taking advantage of this.
Their reign of terror came to an end when Luffy and Zoro defeated him. Then he was dismissed and the control passed to Commander Ripper. Coby and Helmeppo were part of the staff of this base until the transfer of Morgan to Garp. During this, Morgan was able to escape and Coby and Helmeppo went under Garp's command and tutelage.
During the two years timeskip, Ripper became a Marine officer and Rika joined the base as mess waitress.[3]
