Niho Navy

Character

A seafaring force under Chichilisia, the Niho Navy was set to join hands with the Happo Navy through an arranged marriage. That pact fell apart once Sai broke off the engagement, leaving the two fleets on sour terms.

Overview

Commanded by Chichilisia, this fleet had been poised to bind itself to the Happo Navy. The whole plan hinged on a wedding between the leader's daughter, Uholisia, and Sai, a union meant to cement the two groups' cooperation. When Sai chose to cancel it, the arrangement unraveled. The name the outfit uses for itself, rendered as Suigun, echoes how the historic sea forces of Japan, China, and Korea were styled, which sets it apart from the World Government's Marines, who go by the term Kaigun instead.

Role

The fleet's true fighting strength has never been detailed, yet its standing can be inferred from how keenly the Happo Navy sought to unite with it. That interest suggests the Niho Navy holds combat weight roughly equal to the force that courted it. A readily noticed detail about the organization is that its members wear trousers printed with floral patterns.

Notable Members

Chichilisia commands the fleet, while his daughter Uholisia was cast as the bride at the center of the failed alliance. Once the Happo Navy made its way home to Kano Country, Sai told Uholisia that he was ending their engagement. Enraged, she gave him a thorough beating, while her father turned his anger on Chinjao for letting Sai's decision stand.
