Marines

Last updated: March 21, 2026

Overview

The Marine system lets players enlist in the World Government's naval force. Marines operate as an enforcement faction against pirates - arresting criminals, protecting civilians, and participating in Marine Warship sea events. Joining the Marines is a character identity choice that changes your faction alignment, reputation trajectory, and which sea events you engage with.

⚓Enlisting

Players can enlist as Marines through a character progression choice. Marine status aligns you with the World Government, unlocks Marine-specific activities and arrest mechanics, and marks you as a target for high-bounty pirate players.

World GovernmentReaching the highest Marine ranks requires World Government affiliation. The Admiral rank specifically requires World Government backing - it cannot be achieved through combat progression alone.

Handcuffs

Handcuffs are a Marine tool used to restrain arrested players. Breaking free while handcuffed is approximately 20× harder than normal jail escape - confirmed by developers.

Patrols

Marines patrol sea lanes and port towns. Their presence deters pirate activity in lower sea regions and triggers reputation-based responses from faction NPCs.
