The Marine Headquarters is the main division of the Marine organization. They are considered "super-elites" among the Marines and are about three ranks apart from the standard Marine ranks in terms of standards of power. Whereas the Marine Branches are in charge of the four blues, the Headquarters' jurisdiction covers the Grand Line. The Headquarters' base of operations is currently in the New World, near the Red Line. Until two years ago, its base of operations was set in Paradise, on Marineford.
