Gecko Islands

The Gecko Islands is the archipelago where Syrup Village is located. It is the third island the Straw Hat Pirates visited.

Layout and Locations
It is not known how many towns are here, but there is at least one major town as Merry told Kaya that Klahadore left for another town. There is also a small hamlet, Syrup Village, home of Yasopp and Usopp.

The Gecko Islands has two slope hills, a forest and a hilly landmark. It seems to be a large island judging when seen in the distance.

Notable Places
Syrup Village - Usopp and Yasopp's home-village. Birthplace of Kaya and where the Straw Hats obtained the Going Merry.

Meshi - A restaurant in Syrup Village where Luffy, Zoro, and Nami ate at.

Translation and Dub Issues
Gecko (ゲッコー) here is spelled with characters identical to those in Gecko Moria's name, and thus technically subject to the same Gecko/Gekko ambiguity (especially as the islands' name has never been romanized, either by Japanese material or the Viz manga). In this instance, the name more likely refers to the Japanese for moonlight (月光)—tying in with the general "crescent moon" motif of the Syrup Village Arc—than to the animal.
