One Piece of Music: Chapter 8.5 - Just a Little Outlining...
Just as it was previously stated in One Piece of Music: Chapter 2, the Tora no Tomarigi was a seastack which has a total of 360 piers elongating from where it meets the sea. However, it should be noted that all 360 of those piers was equally divded into three administrative divisions of 119 piers each. It should also be noted that the three remaining piers were each a Neko no Soukutsu (Cat's Den) and it was the Neko no Soukutsu that divided each of the administrative divisions from each other.

The first of those three administrative divisions was the Business District. Just as its name implies, it was the venue for most of the purchases that occurred within the confines of the Tora no Tomarigi. Under normal circumstances, pirate activity was low in the Business District. The reason for this being that a supermajority of the Business District's locals were more than willing to kick a pirate's ass for stirring up trouble. Unlike most of the Tora no Tomarigi's restaurants, the Business District was where L'Origine (The Origin) was located.

The second of the three administrative divisions was the Residence District. It goes without saying that this was where most people live. Not only were the homes of the locals located there, but also inns and many other types of residential accommodations as well. More importantly, the Residence District was where the local Marines lived. For the Marine 80th Branch's 19th Outpost was located within its confines. It was within the Residence District that Iroppoi was ambushed by Song Lei and Song Mei.

The third and last of the three administrative divisions was the Pleasure District. Obviously, this was where the dates are had and where the parties were thrown. Most of the Tora no Tomarigi's restaurants were located here alongside clubs, bars, and various other hangouts. This was where the jobless youth of the Tora no Tomarigi spent the vast majority of their days and where most pirates preferred to lurk. As you've probably guessed by now, this was also where Fabricio el Tigre fought Perikles, Ni-su, Red Gilly, Supaisu, and Yukimura.
