God's Guards

God's Guards, formerly known as the the White Berets (ホワイトベレー) is a police force in Skypiea whose captain is McKinley.

Appearance
As the White Berets, they wear a characteristic uniform that consists of light-purple T-shirts, blue with white cloud-shaped spots wide trousers, Jet Ski and white berets with letters "WB" on them. They are armed with two-bladed knives and bows shooting Sky Arrows.

Behavior
They are the most lenient, gentle and understanding out of all the guardians in Skypiea. White Berets act strangely sometimes: they crawl without a reason, and saying the traditional Skypiean "Heso" they make hand gestures in a characteristic way.

Abilities and Powers
They act under direct orders from the Skypiea's Priests. They have no real superhuman skills like the priests of the Upper Yard. White Berets perform their duties of tracking down criminals and labeling them with "degrees" of their being criminals, so as to establish a universal punishment.

Sky Arrows (also called Milky Arrows) are weapons used by the White Berets. The arrows create spirals in the air made of cloud on which the White Berets can surf in order to confuse and capture the enemy. This attack has little effect on Luffy. They also dole out punishment depending on the crime committed.

Heaven's Judgment
Each type of crime belonged to a certain class. The known crimes and penalties for them are shown below:

History
White Berets were all originally members of the Enforcers in service to Gan Fall. Appearing to betray the Enforcers, they pledged allegiance to Enel.

The White Berets were first introduced when they came to arrest the Straw Hats for entering Skypiea illegally. They believed that by remaining on the island and trying to prevent anyone from God's anger,they could protect the citizens. But in the end this plan turned to be a miserable failure.

When they discovered Enel planned to destroy all of Skypiea, they turned against him and helped the people from Angel Island get to safety.

After the timeskip, the group's name was changed to God's Guards, and Wiper, Genbo, Kamakiri, and Braham have joined the ranks.

Trivia

 * The name "White Berets" is most likely a pun on the "Green Berets", a hat worn by special forces units in Australia, the United Kingdom, France, and the United States.
