Sky Island Saga

Skypiea Saga is the third saga in the anime and manga series One Piece. It follows the Straw Hat Pirates as they visit Jaya and Skypiea, a mysterious land above the clouds. However once they get there, they become embroiled in a massive war that may result in the destruction of Skypiea. It is made up of two story arcs, making it the shortest saga so far.

Nico Robin joins the crew, and Vivi stays in Alabasta. A ship hundreds of years old falls from the sky, and from the evidence contained inside, the crew begins to wonder if an island in the sky can really exist as the legends say. Meanwhile, the World Government gathers the remaining Seven Warlords of the Sea (Shichibukai) together to discuss a replacement for Sir Crocodile, Ace meets Buggy, and Shanks contacts Whitebeard. With help from Montblanc Cricket in Jaya, the Straw Hat Pirates manage to reach Skypiea, an island in the sky ruled by a false god named Eneru.
