Amazon Lily

Amazon Lily (アマゾン・リリー) also known as the Island of Women (女ヶ島, Nyōga shima) is an island inhabited by a tribe of Kuja. The island is named after the real life flower Amazon Lily.

Monkey D. Luffy was sent here by Bartholomew Kuma.

Layout
Amazon Lily is a jungle island located within the Calm Belt. The focal point of the island is a large mountain situated in the center, it is carved with gigantic curved snake statues and the name of the native tribe of the island, Kuja engraved in Kanji. Within the center of the mountain is a deep valley where the village of the Kuja tribe is located. The architecture and decor of the village resemble that of ancient China.

Culture
Due to the lack of men, the Kuja have to leave the island to conceive children. When they do give birth, the children are always female and the mothers return to this island to have their daughters raised and nurtured by their society. It is a firm and influential belief in their culture that strength equals beauty.

They are snake worshipers and many of the women carry very large snakes around their necks. Some of the warriors can even use their snakes to form bows, allowing them to fire arrows.

The currency used by the Kuja in Amazon Lily is "Gor", in place of Beli. It is unknown how much Gor is worth in proportion to Beli.

Due to the Calm Belt being infested by Sea Kings, Amazon Lily is naturally protected against outsiders. However with new Kairoseki technologies invented by Dr. Vegapunk, this protection has begun to erode. As such, the only method to keeping outsiders from entering is for the empress of the tribe, Boa Hancock to maintain her position as a Shichibukai, and sign a treaty with the World Government for their continued protection. This treaty would be nullified if Hancock refused to live up to her duties as a Shichibukai.

As part of the Kuja's belief, men are forbidden on the island, but Monkey D. Luffy is an exception, as the empress has fallen in love with him. Indeed, even though the Heart Pirates were given an exception among exceptions due to them caring for Luffy, they were still forbidden from crossing the border of the country.
