Jaya



Spring Island

Log Change: Four Days

Jaya (ジャヤ島, Jaya Shima) is a forest-covered island that was once much larger than it is now, due to over half of it being launched into the White-White Sea by Knock-Up Stream. The island was ruled by the Shandians four hundred years ago, who guarded the Poneglyph located in their city of gold, but they too were launched into the sky. In the present day, however, the island is mostly uninhabited other than a few towns. The island seems to be a major base for pirates. This is the location of the Jaya arc. For more information, see Upper Yard.

First Appearance: Chapter 222; Episode 146

Trivia

 * The name of the island may be a reference to the real-life Indonesian island of Java or probably island of Papua (Papua was named Irian Jaya before it changed back into Papua in 2003). Island of Papua has a shape of bird's head.
 * The word Jaya in the Indonesian language means "Glory" in English.
 * The island seemed to have been named after the daughter of the Shandian god, Jaya. Jaya was also the mother of Norla. She was killed by Calgara after she tried to eat Montblanc Norland.
