Reverie

The Reverie (literally translated as "World Council") is a council formed by the World Government which consists of the world's greatest leaders of various kingdoms.

Overview
Every four years, kings or queens gather at Mary Geoise for a seven day conference to discuss matters that could affect the world.

As this is a meeting of leaders of nations, a full scale war could be initiated if one king simply insults another. An example is when Wapol purposely hit Nefeltari Vivi as an act of revenge against her father, Cobra, after he scolded Wapol for his selfishness. Due to Vivi's and Cobra's kindness, they did not retaliate with war, and Wapol was simply angry and left. The possibility for conflict is heightened due to the extreme range of viewpoints among the kings.

The word of the World Nobles holds great sway even at the Reverie.

Customs and Procedures
With a gathering of so many world leaders in such a "sacred" place, there are naturally some rules and regulations put in place. One such rule is that everyone, whether they be the royalty, their companions or their escorts, are to be disarmed for the duration of the Reverie.

All heads-of-states attending the Reverie are expected to make a pledge before the Empty Throne, both as a sign of allegiance to the World Government, and to symbolically state they are supporting the current "peace".

Each meeting, one of the participants acts as chairman. The chairman is chosen in rotation among all participants. During the current meeting, the chairman is King Ham Burger from the Ballywood Kingdom.

Participants
Being a summit of the world kings, all of its participants are the royal patriarch of a World Government's recognized kingdom. During the meeting that occurred during the Reverie Arc, 49 participants have been shown. Known participants for the current Reverie are:

Monkey D. Dragon
Eight years ago, participants discussed Dragon and his actions, stating that within four to five years he would be a major threat to the World Government. This caused a conflict between Nefeltari Cobra and Wapol when Wapol would not take the threat seriously.

Past
200 years ago, Ryugu Kingdom joined the World Government, and its king was granted a place on the Reverie.

16 years ago, Queen Otohime, in an effort to get fishmen and merfolk to grow closer to humans, made a proposal to relocate Ryugu Kingdom to the surface. She wanted to present this wish at the Reverie that year, and asked her kingdom's citizens for signatures.

15 years ago, King Neptune stated that he would not be allowed to attend the next Reverie due to the recent incident of Fisher Tiger raiding Mary Geoise and liberating slaves, which caused Fishman Island's standing to fall.

10 years ago, Otohime went to Mary Geoise and returned with an official letter from a World Noble, supporting her cause to relocate Ryugu Kingdom. She stated that the plan could be realistically put into action if enough signatures are collected by the next Reverie.

8 years ago, a Reverie was held, with the participants including Thalassa Lucas, Nefeltari Cobra and Wapol. During the meeting, Lucas brought up the Revolutionary Dragon, labeling his ideologies "dangerous" and stating that he would become a great threat to the World Government in 4-5 years. Wapol disregarded this as not concerning his country, which prompted Cobra to scold him for his irresponsibility. After the meeting Wapol came across Cobra's daughter Vivi and purposefully hit her as revenge against Cobra. Vivi, however, simply apologized in order to avoid conflict between their countries.

Zou Arc
Over 50 countries ruled by royal families are planning to attend this year's meeting. Among them are the Nefeltari Family of Alabasta, Sterry and his wife, Sarie of Goa Kingdom, Wapol and Miss Universe of Black Drum Kingdom, Dalton of Sakura Kingdom, the Riku Family of Dressrosa, Elizabello II of Prodence Kingdom, and the king of Kano Country. Several rulers are traveling with an entourage from their kingdoms. Some of the participants are shown traveling with Marines escorting them, while some refused it.

The royal family of the Ryugu Kingdom will also attend and will ask to relocate Fishman Island to the surface, now that Otohime's signature list is full.

Nefeltari Cobra plans to ask the World Government about the Poneglyphs and the history of involvement of the Nefeltari Family.

Whole Cake Island Arc
Despite no longer ruling any land, the Vinsmoke Family, as the ruling family of the maritime Germa Kingdom, retain the status and the privileges of royalty, including the right to attend Reverie. However, Vinsmoke Judge expects the family's activities will imminently lead the World Government to strip them of this right.

Reverie Arc
While various countries head towards the Reverie, the World Government severed ties with the Germa Kingdom for having attempted to ally with the Big Mom Pirates.

As royals gathered at Mary Geoise, the Revolutionary Army initiated their plan to declare war on the World Nobles with Sabo, Karasu, and Morley infiltrating the holy land.
