Mecha Island

Mecha Island is a non-canon island in the first half of the Grand Line. This is the location of The Giant Mechanical Soldier of Karakuri Castle, the seventh One Piece movie.

General Information
Mecha Island contains machines that are more advanced than certain areas of the norm in the world, though most of the people live in normal towns. The island is actually a giant sleeping sea turtle that only wakes up every one thousand years to lay her eggs. Because of this, no Log Pose will point towards it as it does not have any magnetic field, making it impossible to find. The only known way to reach this island is by using a "Turtle Pose", which uses a tiny baby sea turtle as a compass. The island used to be called the Island Turtle (シマガメ) for this reason.

Ratchet rules over this island as the feudal lord, and is the genius scientist who created the advanced machinery around. He intended to use it as his base of operation for world domination, but was ultimately defeated by the Straw Hat Pirates.

During “One Piece The Movie: The Giant Mechanical Soldier of Karakuri Castle”, something is sang; “Long long ago, a man called Urashima was carried by a turtle he saved”; which references the Tale of Urashima Taro.

Boei System
The Boei System (防衛システム) is an army of robots on Mecha Island that fires arrows. It is owned by Ratchet, and first appeared in Movie 7.
