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.

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.

First Appearance: Chapter 238; Episode 153

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.

Milky Road
Milky Road is a cloud river that flows from Angel Island to all the way to Upper Yard.

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.

Sacrificial Altar
The Sacrificial Altar is a place located in the northeast portion of Upper Yard. People who commit a Class-5 Crime are sent there to be executed. It was also at this place, 400 years ago, that Musse was about to be sacrificed.

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.
