Skypieans

Skypieans are the people who come from Skypiea and live on Angel Island and other islands in the sky. The skypieans are mostly a non-aggressive race who live peacefully on the Sky Islands. They use dials for everyday use such as cooking. They have wings similar to the ones found on the backs of the Shandians. They greet each other by saying 'Heso' (which is Japanese for bellybutton) often while putting their hand against their head and sticking two fingers up.

First Appearance: Chapter 238; Episode 153

They follow the Leadership of their ruling governor (which they call 'God'). They rarely question the actions of their ruling cast, even when faced with the fearsome Eneru. To the Skypieans, the ground from the Blue Seas below (which they refer to as 'Vearth') is sacred as plants do not grow without it in Skypiea. Because of their devotion towards their ruling cast and their value of Vearth, long ago their ancestors entered a war with the Shandian over their homeland, one which lasted 400 years.

Appearance
They train their hair to grow like the antenna of an insect from a young age, using sticks in their hair to support the end.

History
Skypieans originate from the moon, along with the Bilkans and Shandorians leaving behind their friends the Spaceys. When resources on the moon were used up they, along with the Shandorians and Bilkan, moved to the Blue Seas.

Skypiea was "blessed" when the homeland of the Shandians, descendants of the Shandorians, was blasted up into the sky. Their God imediatly claimed the land as his home and a bloody war began between the two races. Several years before the current storyline of One Piece, their current God, Gun Fall was overthrown when Enel, who had come from Bilka took over Skypiea.
