The Divergent Marines (KDAU)

History
After the many battles following the rise of the Second Pirate King, a divide in opinion formed within the World Government and Marines. One side believed that a complete change in policy and structure was required to deal with the massive increase in pirate activity, whilst the others believed that the system merely needed to be improved. With the death of the eldest of the Gorosei the balance of power in the council was broken and the difference in opinion became a true divide.

From this divide the The Ascendant Marines and The Divergent Marines were formed. The Ascendant Marines believed that the methods and doctrine of the old style Marines were not wrong, but they merely needed improvement. Whereas the Divergent Marines believed that a whole new system was needed to fight the greatest pirate threat since Gol D. Roger.
