St. Briss

The St. Briss was a ship that came from the Briss Kingdom.

History
The ship is a wreck over 200 years old that fell from the sky. The Straw Hats were in the vicinity and investigated. They pulled several items from the wreck before it sank. After the Briss sank, Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji dressed in makeshift diving gear and went down to look for more clues and treasure.

Meanwhile, Masira and his crew arrived and began their operation to salvage the wreck. Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji found many items whilst beating up some of Masira's crew in the process resulting in a confrontation. Meanwhile, the St. Briss was being raised. But as it approached the surface a massive sea turtle came along and swallowed the wreck. Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Masira's divers all escaped though.

When the Straw Hats went through what they found they discovered a map of Skypiea. In a way the St. Briss triggered the events that led to the Skypiea Saga.

Once in Skypiea the Straw Hats discover that what happened to the ship was a criminal sentence called Cloud Drifting.

Trivia

 * "Briss" is French meaning 'worn away', befitting its condition.
