Clouds are floating masses of condensed water droplets. They are a primary aspect of the weather.

Many strange types of cloud exist in the world.

Types of Cloud[]

Imperial Cumulus[]

Main article: Imperial Cumulus

The Imperial Cumulus (積帝雲, Sekitei-un?) is an ancient, fossilized mass of clouds that floats around Paradise near the island of Jaya. Its pattern of movement is fairly predictable.

Because of its density, the Imperial Cumulus does not have an atmospheric current and can never condense into rain, but it still manages to float in the sky somehow. Additionally, sunlight cannot penetrate it, so any area of the Blue Sea caught beneath the Imperial Cumulus will suddenly become dark, almost like it instantly turned from day to night.

On it, one can find an assortment of Sea Clouds and Island Clouds that form the White and White-White Seas, as well as Skypiea.

Sea Clouds[]

Main article: Sea Clouds

Sea Clouds (海雲, Umigumo?), also called Ocean Clouds, are large water-like clouds that form seas in the sky. One can almost sail on it as if it were water, except that Sea Clouds are slightly less dense than water, and as such, things that are dropped into it will sink faster than in normal water. Another difference of seas made of Sea Clouds from seas made of water is that there is no sea floor. However, they still affect Devil Fruit users like a regular body of water would. These clouds form two known seas: the White Sea and the White White Sea.

Sea Clouds are created when a compound in Seastone called "pyrobloin" is ejected into the air by volcanic eruptions and comes in contact with water vapors.[1]

Sea Clouds are not normally able to survive down at Blue Sea level.[2]Vegapunk, however, developed an island-wide air conditioning system that controls and regulates Egghead's climate, and has created Island Clouds and Sea Clouds above the island.[3]

Milky Road[]

Main article: Milky Road

An artificial type of Sea Cloud that have been shaped into rivers that travel through the air.

Island Clouds[]

Main article: Island Clouds

Island Clouds (島雲, Shimagumo?) are a special type of cloud. They are fluffy, but dense enough to carry all kinds of things. They form islands in the sky seas.

Like Sea Clouds, Island Clouds are created when a compound in Seastone called "pyrobloin" is ejected into the air by volcanic eruptions and comes in contact with water vapors.[1] The density of the water vapors determines whether a Sea Cloud or Island Cloud will be created.

Island Clouds are not normally able to survive down at Blue Sea level.[2]

Ball Clouds[]

Ordeal of Balls

Surprise Ball Clouds

Ball Clouds (玉雲, Tamagumo?) are clouds in the shape of spheres. Enel briefly uses one as a floating platform when confronting the remaining participants of the Upper Yard Survival.[4]

Satori used a variation known as Surprise Clouds (びっくり雲, Bikkurigumo?) in his Ordeal of Balls. When a Surprise Cloud is touched, you never know what is going to emerge. It could be anything from an explosion to live snakes, though some contain harmless surprises, like flowers.[5]

String Clouds[]

String Clouds (紐雲, Himogumo?) are clouds that are long and thin like a very fine thread, it is almost invisible, but at the same time has high tensile strength.

They are used by Shura for his Ordeal of String, for the purpose of entangling the victims to then be easily eliminated.[6]

Swamp Clouds[]

Ordeal of Swamp

A Swamp Cloud.

Swamp Clouds (沼雲, Numagumo?) are clouds with the qualities of a swamp. Anyone who stands on one of these clouds will sink into it, and the more one struggles, the more they will sink. The Swamp Clouds have no air inside them and victims will end up drowning inside the cloud.

They are used by Gedatsu for his Ordeal of Swamp.[7]

Iron Clouds[]

Eisen Back

Iron Clouds (鉄雲, Tetsugumo?) are clouds that, as the name suggests, are as strong and durable as iron, while still retaining a clouds weightlessness and ability to change shape.

They appear in the form of barbed wire in Ohm's Ordeal of Iron.[8]

Sugar Clouds[]

Sugar Clouds (甘み雲, Amamigumo?) are clouds known to produce snow made of cotton candy. They can be found around the border of Totto Land's waters.[9]

Cloud Homies[]

Due to the power of Soru Soru no Mi, there exist sentient clouds[10] that have special properties and abilities that normal clouds do not possess, including weather manipulation and various lighting-generating abilities.

Flame Clouds[]

Flame Clouds being used to lift an entire island.

Flame Clouds (焔雲, Homuragumo"?) are unique clouds created by the power of the Mythical Zoan-type Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu. The fruit user can use these clouds as foot holds, granting them a pseudo flight.[11] The user can also use these clouds to float other objects, even whole islands.[12] The Artificial Devil Fruit created by Dr. Vegapunk also possesses this ability.[13]
