Mary Geoise



The Holy Land of Mariejois (聖地マリージョア, Seichi Marījoa) is the capital of the World Government and serves as another gateway to the Grand Line. The Government's HQ is there and the Council of Kings meets here.

First Appearance: Chapter 142; Episode 91

Description


Not much is seen of Mariejois in either of its appearances. The only exception to this is the gigantic palace, where the Gorousei meet. This palace is seen to have at least six floors, plus extra structures on top, including a number of towers. The (assumed) main entrance of the palace is guarded by a group of soldiers clad in armor, which is something not seen elsewhere to date in all One Piece. There are only two known locations in the palace, one being the room where the Gorousei meet, and a second, unknown location, is a sort of outdoor area, with a large pond.

The people who are allowed to live there are the World Nobles, one of them being Saint Roswald, Saint Charlos

History
It's not known how long Mariejois has been around. The earliest known history that Mariejois was around in 1127 AOS when the King of Lyneel has to request permission from Mariejois to enter the Grand Line.

Due to the rise of the World Government, it is possible that this city had been around since the Void Century, when they defeated another civilization and took control of the law and order of this world.

In 1510 AOS, it was here that Spandam manipulated the Gorousei.

In 1516 AOS, the Council of Kings took place in Mariejois to discuss the rise of the revolutionary Dragon. The meeting was notable for an encounter between Drum ruler Wapol and Alabasta princess Nefertari Vivi which would influence fellow Drum soldier Dalton into realizing the true nature of his king.

At some point, Fisher Tiger climbed the Red Line with his hands and attacked Mariejois, doing so to free any Fishmen held as slaves, but allowing all held captive by the Tenryuubito to be free, including Kuja slaves Boa Hancock, Boa Marigold and Boa Sandersonia, despited his own hatred of humans. He even set the city on fire.

Current Storyline
During the Jaya arc, three Shichibukai met here. Sengoku also resides in Mariejois. It is here that the Gorousei reside also.

In chapter 303, we briefly see the Gorousei talking about Aokiji.

In chapter 433, we see Mariejois again as the Gorousei hear the news relating to Shanks and Whitebeard.

In chapter 490, Sengoku, Garp and Kuma are having a conversation about the Straw Hat Crew. Sengoku said that their log pose will bring them close to Mariejois.

In chapter 511, Sengoku heard the news about the incident with the World Noble and grew upset about it.

Location


Mariejois is located on top of the Red Line. It's also said to be the only other known entrance into the Grand Line, besides Reverse Mountain. In addition, it is one of the only known entrances to the New World, the other being Fishman Island.

How people came up and down the Red Line reminds a mystery. World Government HQ:

This is where Sengoku resided along with the Gorousei. This is where the Shichibukai meet, and this is also where we see Lafitte for the first time.
