Upper Yard

Upper Yard (神の島 [アッパー･ヤード], Kami no Shima [Appā Yādo], literally translated as Island of God): A piece of solid land that was once the part of Jaya that was sent up in the sky four-hundred years ago by the Knock-Up Stream. This is where the fallen golden city of Shandora rests and is where most of the Skypiea arc took place. While traveling Upper Yard through the Milky Road, there are also booby traps.
