Yuba

Yuba is a small oasis town in Alabasta where Toto lives.

It once served as the headquarters of the Alabastan rebel army until they moved to Katorea.

Layout
Yuba is a recent town, no older than 8-10 years old. Its location, at the very middle of the western portion of the Sandora Desert, was strategically decided in order to provide Alabasta with a hub that could act as a rest stop between the country's many towns. Rainbase is located to its north, the Spiders Cafe to its southwest and Erumalu to its southeast.

During the Alabasta Arc, Yuba was mostly decaying and almost as ruined as Erumalu due to the countless sandstorms hitting the place. The oasis where it was built upon was nearly completely dried up, with Toto desperately digging in the middle of the town in search of an underground reservoir. It was later revealed that said sandstorms were in fact acts of sabotage from Mr. 0, who utilized his sand powers in combination with the desert's southward wind to continuously bombard Yuba with sandstorms coming from Rainbase.

Yuba features circular buildings with a clay-like look and poles sticking from the outer walls. As a town built primarily for desert travelers, it has many inns that were still usable during the drought.

After the defeat of Baroque Works, Yuba was shown to have regained its oasis, going by the events of Gedatsu's Accidental Blue-Sea Life. Post-timeskip, it has visibly grown into a prosperous location, displaying a more sophisticated architecture, with the primitive circular buildings from before being only present as part of the town's welcome sign.

Past
Yuba was conceived as an attempt to create It was started up by Koza and Toto (with Toto serving as the mayor) to become a rest stop since it is in between many cities in the area. As such, it prided itself in its inns.

Alabasta Arc
It was deserted by everyone due to three years of drought except for Toto, who remained with his city to try to dig up the water once more. It was further destroyed by sandstorms caused by Crocodile. The rebels headed by Koza, one of the founders, settled their base here before moving to Katorea due to a lack of supplies. The Straw Hat Pirates came here only to find a sandstorm raging which was later revealed to be Crocodile's doing to prevent Toto from getting the water he dug up with Luffy's help.

Gedatsu's Accidental Blue-Sea Life
Later, after the Alabasta Rebellion, Koza and Toto continued to revive the town. It was here that Goro and Gedatsu met with Toto and Koza.
