History

Upper Yard was once the part of Jaya that was sent up in the sky four hundred years ago by the Knock Up Stream. Its former habitants, the ancient Shandia, were driven out by Skypieans, for whom it was considered extremely valuable due to rarity of soil in the sky.

Upper Yard had become home to the rulers of Skypieans, who bore the title of God of Skypiea. Enel, after his invasion to Skypiea, made it his residence and instituted total control over the island. Apart from him, only the four Priests, which run their respective Ordeals there, Divine Soldiers, Enel's servants and some of Gan Fall's former men (turned into slaves), inhabited the island. For everybody else it was forbidden to step onto Upper Yard, as it was considered "holy land". The situation was changed when Luffy defeated Enel and both Skypieans and Shandia started to live there together in peace.

Upper Yard Survival

Upper Yard Survival ("神の島（アッパーヤード）"サバイバル, Appā Yādo Sabaibaru^?)^[rujukan] was a battle royale-style survival game created by Enel during the Skypiea Arc. The survival game took place on the entirety of Upper Yard, and consisted of whomever was on Upper Yard while the game was on, including the Straw Hat Pirates, the Shandia warriors under Wyper, Conis, Gan Fall, Nola, Enel, and God's Army. The existence of this survival game was only known to to Enel's followers, until Enel revealed the game to the other surviving participants near the very end. Enel had intended for the last five living participants to travel with him to Fairy Vearth.
