Skypiea

Skypiea (スカイピア, Sukaipia) is a land located in the sky above the Grand Line. The people are unique in that they have small wings on their backs, similar to the stereotypical angel, though no use has been revealed for them. The daily life of sky people revolves around the use of dials, which normally aren't available in the Blue Sea. As opposed to the beli of the rest of the world, it uses extols as currency. The people of Skypiea have a religious reverence for soil, because it can yield plant life much better than island cloud can, and also other materials that comes from the Blue Sea.

First Appearance: Chapter 239; Episode 154

History
Skypiea has been around for many generations, it's not known how long Skypiea was but according to Gan Fall, Skypiea was around long before Jaya got knocked up in the sky, it may be millions of years old. Before 400 years ago, treasures from the blue sea would be knocked up into the sky, and the Skypieans would collect the spoils. But after half of Jaya was knock up into the sky, the Skypieans wanted it so bad that they fought off the Shandians to claim it. Calgara fought bravely to defend his home, yet he was killed in battle. The Skypieans successfully drove off the Shandians and claimed the Upper Yard. For 400 years, Skypieans and Shandians were at each others throat. 22 years ago, Gold Roger visited Skypiea and met Gan Fall. 6 years ago, Gan Fall wanted to return the Upper Yard to the Shandians to end the 400 Years War but he was overthrown by "God" Enel, who came here after destroying his home Bilka, before he could do that. It's not until the arrival of the Straw Hat Pirates did the rule of Enel and the war between the Skypieans and the Shandians end. Now the Skypieans and Shandians are at peaceful terms, the Shandians have managed to win back their home while they help the Skypieans rebuild their own home.

Areas in Skypiea
Skypiea is composed of numerous areas. Below the areas are listed in the order they would normally be encountered.

Heaven's Gate
Heaven's Gate is located in the White Sea and serves as an entrance to Skypiea. Amazon, the gate-keeper resides down here with her Vision Dial-powered camera, collecting entrance immigration fees, and immigration for those who are leaving. She is generally unable to understand the events around her, as she lets people in without collecting fees, but not warning them they will become criminals. When everyone was evacuating Angel Island, she attempted to take images of them all, not realizing that Angel Island was about to be destroyed. Many outsiders become criminals for not paying the fee, because Amazon fails to explain Extol, the currency of Skypiea. After going past Amazon, a giant lobster-like creature will grasp the immigrant's ship and lift it along a smaller version of the Milky River, which goes up to the White-White Sea. Finally the guests will arrive in Skypiea.

Angel Island
This is the main and original part of Skypiea. It houses all Skypieans and is home to the famous Lovely Street. There exists a dock as well as houses, shops and the White Berets. Angel Island is made of Island Clouds. All citizens have come to know a different sense of crime since Enel took over, and become feeble, and weak when they realize they are committing any sort of crime. Skypieans will become criminals themselves, upon helping a criminal of any Class.

Angel's Beach
The beach where the Straw Hat Pirates met Pagaya and Conis for the first time

Lovely Street
Lovely Street is a rather well-known and well-traveled part of Angel Island. The road has many shops, and is a sort of Skypiean Main Street. Shops of all kinds line the road of Lovely Street, including many Dial and food shops.

Gan Fall's Home
This is where the Knight of the Sky lives, which is out of the range of Enel's mantra.

Upper Yard
This is the other half of Jaya. Blasted up there by Knock-Up Stream, Upper Yard is home to both God's Enforcers and the current God of Skypiea, which actually serves more as a Governor. When Enel takes control, he changes this and becomes a true power. He, along with his Priests make their home and run their respective Ordeals there. It is forbidden to step onto Upper Yard, as it is considered "holy land". The trees and Animals on Upper Yard have grown to huge sizes, due to the decrease in the Atmosphere. The ruins of Shandora remain here, with Giant Jack crushing through the center of it.

Ordeals Area
There were four areas of Ordeals, run by the Priests: Ordeal of Balls, Ordeal of String, Ordeal of Swamp, and Ordeal of Iron.

Giant Jack
Giant Jack is a giant beanstalk in the center of Upper Yard, going through the center of the once-great city of Shandora, Giant Jack towers over all of Skypiea. God's Shrine rests upon an Island Cloud that the Giant Jack goes through. The Shandorian Golden Belfry Bell was knocked up by Giant Jack, and resides on a cloud nearby. Giant Jack is a beanstalk, a reference to the western-culture story of Jack and the Beanstalk.

God's Shrine
This is the home of the current leader of Skypiea. God's Enforcers were known to stay around here, however after Enel took over they were forced to build his Ark, Maxim. Since then only servants stayed there to play music and feed Enel. It was destroyed by Enel, although it was rather burnt a little bit instead.

Shandian Village
This is where Wiper, Aisa and the rest of the Shandian Tribe lives. A statue of Calgara can be seen in the village.

Clouds End
Clouds End is a place that connects the Blue Sea with the White Sea.
