Marshall Islands



The Marshall Islands is a chain of small islands located in the Western Pacific. Following a brutal fight between Green Arrow (Oliver Queen) and Merlyn in Star City, a man named Frederick Tuckman (a former Buddhist and friend of Ollie's son, Connor), chartered a boat, which brought Ollie, Connor and Mia Dearden to one of the nameless land masses within the chain. By the time Ollie recuperated enough to function, he decided to remain on the island until such time that he was truly "ready" to return to Star City. Over the course of a year (and several million dollars later), Queen hired the best martial arts Grand Masters in the world to stay on the island and train him. Even after honing his body to physical perfection, Ollie was still not ready to leave. He hired an Oriental assassin named Natas (Satan spelled backwards) to train him in the killing arts. Natas had once mentored another of Ollie's foes, the mercenary known as Deathstroke. After several more months of grueling hardship, Ollie, Connor and Mia were ready to leave the Marshall Islands and return to their regular base of operations.
