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 called the World Nobles ,one of them being Saint Roswald.

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.

Current Storyline
During the Jaya arc, three of the 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 is having a conversation about the Straw Hat Crew. Sengoku said that their log pose will bring them close to Mariejois.
