Dressrosa is a luxurious island with palm trees, a pool, a large Spanish-styled castle with a mixed appearance of a wealthy mansion, and the factory where SMILEs are produced. There is also a colosseum on it run by Diamante.

Dressrosa is relatively close to Punk Hazard, as travel between the two islands can be done in a short period of time.

The port town is called Acacia.

Citizens
Except for the Donquixote Pirates, there are many people and living toys in this country.

History
During his tenure as a Shichibukai, Doflamingo ruled over Dressrosa as the king of the island due to the privileges and pardons granted to him with his allegiance to the World Government. As such, the castle bears his smiley and the Donquixote Pirates use the island as their base.

After the Punk Hazard Incident, with Doflamingo renouncing his pact with the World Government, his status as a king was revoked along with his privileges as a Shichibukai, causing an uproar and leaving the citizens of the island in panic. At the same time, the Straw Hat Pirates, Kin'emon, Momonosuke, and Trafalgar Law were on their way to Dressrosa to destroy the SMILE factory.
