Moon

The Moon is giant rocky white sphere that orbits the world of One Piece. It was often seen during night scenes. The moon was labeled Fairy Vearth by Enel. It appears throughout the series, but the first time the moon was seen was Chapter 28 when Kuro use it as a signal to carry out his three years plan. The moon first appeared to look red/orange fancy cartoonish crescent, after that the moon begins to be hard sketched.

The moon
The moon seems to be considerable more accessible in One Piece world. Enel managed to go there using the Maxim, and the four Spaceys managed to go there traveling in balloons.

The moon however, was barren and rocky with no lifeforms but Space Pirates mined here and the Spaceys tried to fight them. There is an ancient city on the moon named Birka with many other Spaceys and the technology there was highly-advanced.

However there is a painting on the wall showing the Spaceys and ancestors of Skypieans, Shandorians, and Bilkans. How the civilization got to the moon remains a mystery.

Trivia

 * Luffy and his group are in the Northern Hemisphere of their world according to the phases of the moon.
 * You can use the moons progression of time as a indication for the Straw Hats journey. However, this makes it from the Kuro's attack on Merry in the Kuro arc to Luffy's arrival on Amazon Lily just 21 days. Considering the progression of time has often been argued in One Piece, this seems hard to accept considering at least two weeks passed between the events of Water 7 and the Red Line. The moon seen when Luffy is flying through the air can explained by one of three methods:
 * The Waning Crescent seen in Chapter 514 is actually a southern hemisphere Waxing moon (in the southern hemisphere, phases of the moon are reversed).
 * The moon was on its second cycle (or more), making it 42 days a much closer match to the minimum estimated canon storyline timespan.
 * The phrases of the moon simply do not follow the real worlds own phases, meaning that the lengths are much greater. However the only problem with this particular theory is from Whiskey peak to Drum, the timespan mention in the storyline matches perfectly the real worlds own moon phrases.
 * On Chapter 392, a Geocentric model of the One Piece world with 6 satellites or planetoids (which includes their world's moon) can be seen at Ohara's Tree of Knowledge.
