Punk Hazard

Punk Hazard is an island located in the New World, and is the first island the Straw Hat Pirates have disembarked on, following the receipt of a distress call on their ship. According to Nami, none of her compass needles pointed to it, thus it was considered odd for a New World Island.

The island appears to be entirely devoid of civilians, and due to an incident four years before the Straw Hat's arrival, the place was closed off, and has been since deemed to be prohibited to disembark there. However, a dragon capable of communicating with humans resides there, which the Straw Hats encounter. Robin also states that the burning village appears to have formerly been a government base.

Appearance
The island is surrounded by a barrier of fire, and the entrance is bolted, with a danger sign, hazard stripes, and the logos of the Marines and World Government. The external border is heavily fenced in and inside lies a military base, which consists of buildings that appear to have partially melted due to the intense heat. According to Nami, the clouds above the island make it appear as though the other half of the island has a freezing climate. Also, Robin states that the island appears to have not always been on fire, leading her to wonder if it was a natural disaster or an accident that caused the heat.
