Levely

The Levely (Kanji literally translated as "World Council") is a council formed by the World Government which consists of 50 of the world's leaders out of the over 170 nations affiliated with the World Government.

Overview
Every four years, kings or queens gather at Mary Geoise for a seven day conference to discuss matters that could affect the world.

As this is a meeting of leaders of nations, a full scale war could be initiated if one king simply insults another. An example is when Wapol purposely hit Nefertari Vivi as an act of Levely against her father, Cobra, after he scolded Wapol for his selfishness. Due to Vivi's and Cobra's kindness, they did not retaliate with war, and Wapol was simply angry and left. The possibility for conflict is heightened due to the extreme range of viewpoints among the kings.

The word of the World Nobles holds great sway even at the Levely.

Customs and Procedures
With a gathering of so many world leaders in such a "sacred" place, there are naturally some rules and regulations put in place. One such rule is that everyone, whether they be the royalty, their companions or their escorts, are to be disarmed for the duration of the Levely.

All heads-of-states attending the Levely are expected to make a pledge before the Empty Throne, both as a sign of allegiance to the World Government, and to symbolically state they are supporting the current "peace".

Each meeting, one of the participants acts as chairman. The chairman is chosen in rotation among all participants. During the current meeting, the chairman is King Ham Burger from the Ballywood Kingdom.

Monkey D. Dragon
Eight years ago, participants discussed Dragon and his actions, stating that within four to five years, he would become a major threat to the World Government. This caused a conflict between Nefertari Cobra and Wapol when Cobra scolded Wapol for not taking the threat seriously.

Fishman Island's Relocation
The queen of the Ryugu Kingdom, Otohime, had worked on gathering signatures from her subjects to petition the World Government to relocate Fishman Island to the surface as a sign of furthering the peaceful relationship between Fishman Island's native races and the humans that comprise the majority of the surface population. Even after her assassination, Otohime's family had worked to continue and fulfill her objective for years and attended the current Levely to finally make their request.

Poneglyphs
Nefertari Cobra, the King of Alabasta, intended to question the World Government about the Poneglyphs during the current Levely. On the first day of the event, the Five Elders were informed about his request for an audience, and headed toward a meeting with Im.

Shichibukai System
Despite his disagreement with Sakazuki, Admiral Fujitora went to Mary Geoise and encountered his colleague Ryokugyu. While they ate, they talk about Fujitora's travels and Dr. Vegapunk's new creation that Fujitora believed would make the Shichibukai system obsolete, which he planned to bring up to the Levely participants. Later, Pell told Vivi that Fujitora was in a meeting with Nefertari Cobra and Riku Dold III.

Past
200 years ago, Ryugu Kingdom joined the World Government, and its king was granted a place on the Levely.

16 years ago, Queen Otohime, in an effort to get fishmen and merfolk to grow closer to humans, made a proposal to relocate Ryugu Kingdom to the surface. She wanted to present this wish at the Levely that year, and asked her kingdom's citizens for signatures.

15 years ago, King Neptune stated that he would not be allowed to attend the next Levely due to the recent incident of Fisher Tiger raiding Mary Geoise and liberating slaves, which caused Fishman Island's standing to fall.

10 years ago, Otohime went to Mary Geoise and returned with an official letter from a World Noble, supporting her cause to relocate Ryugu Kingdom. She stated that the plan could be realistically put into action if enough signatures are collected by the next Levely.

8 years ago, a Levely was held, with the participants including Thalassa Lucas, Nefertari Cobra and Wapol. During the meeting, Lucas brought up the Revolutionary Dragon, labeling his ideologies "dangerous" and stating that he would become a great threat to the World Government in 4-5 years. Wapol disregarded this as not concerning his country, which prompted Cobra to scold him for his irresponsibility. After the meeting Wapol came across Cobra's daughter Vivi and purposefully hit her as Levely against Cobra. Vivi, however, simply apologized in order to avoid conflict between their countries.

Zou Arc
Over 50 countries ruled by royal families are planning to attend this year's meeting. Among them are the Nefertari Family of Alabasta, Sterry and his wife, Sarie of Goa Kingdom, Wapol and Miss Universe of Black Drum Kingdom, Dalton of Sakura Kingdom, the Riku Family of Dressrosa, Elizabello II of Prodence Kingdom, and the king of Kano Country. Several rulers are traveling with an entourage from their kingdoms. Some of the participants are shown traveling with Marines escorting them, while some refused it.

The royal family of the Ryugu Kingdom will also attend and will ask to relocate Fishman Island to the surface, now that Otohime's signature list is full.

Nefertari Cobra plans to ask the World Government about the Poneglyphs and the history of involvement of the Nefertari Family.

Whole Cake Island Arc
Despite no longer ruling any land, the Vinsmoke Family, as the ruling family of the maritime Germa Kingdom, retain the status and the privileges of royalty, including the right to attend Levely. However, Vinsmoke Judge expects the family's activities will imminently lead the World Government to strip them of this right.

Levely Arc
While royals from various countries head towards the Levely, the World Government severed ties with the Germa Kingdom for having attempted to ally with the Big Mom Pirates.

As royals gathered at Mary Geoise, the Revolutionary Army initiated their plan to declare war on the World Nobles with Sabo, Lindbergh, Karasu, and Morley infiltrating the holy land.

When the Levely began, the kings and queens gathered around a table. Ham Burger was appointed chairman for this conference.

Dracule Mihawk notes while reading a newspaper that an interesting topic was brought up at the global conference.

Trivia

 * Before being romanized by Eiichiro Oda, the Levely had been romanized as "Reverie" for years.
