Vearth (大地ヴァース, Vāsu?, literally meaning "Earth") is the name given to the world by the people of Skypiea.

Though plants can grow on Island Clouds, they cannot germinate in them. Thus, vearth is the most valuable substance in Skypiea.[2] Because Upper Yard has the largest concentration of vearth in Skypiea, it is considered a sacred land.

The dirt on Upper Yard and Upper Yard itself originate from the island Jaya directly below Skypiea. Originally, Upper Yard was merely a piece of the island, but after a Knock Up Stream appeared beneath Jaya, it was shot up to Skypiea never to be seen again by the citizens of the blue sea.[3]

Overview[]

Before the events of Skypiea Arc, the Shandia Aisa would usually sneak into Upper Yard and fill up her bag with vearth, bringing it back home with her.[4]

During the events of the Skypiea Arc, Upper Yard was off limits to civilians. Anyone who entered was killed by Enel.[5]

In the original FUNimation dub, Enel wanted to return Vearth to Earth, to Jaya, and drag all of the people from the sky along with it.

Fairy Vearth[]

Fairy Vearth (限りない大地フェアリーヴァース, Fearī Vāsu?, literally meaning "Endless Earth"; VIZ: Endless Varse; Funimation dub: Endless Vearth) is a legendary land that Enel mentions throughout the Skypiea Arc. Enel wanted to travel to Fairy Vearth after he destroyed Skypiea.[6] For this purpose he built his ship, Maxim.[7]

After being defeated by Luffy, Enel headed off to Fairy Vearth, which turns out to be the Moon. There he found a group of alien-like creatures—who have wings similar to the Skypieans—which Enel befriended.[8]

Translation and Dub Issues[]

The discrepancy in translation ("Endless" vs. "Fairy") is because both are actually written in the manga. The Kanji lists it as "Endless Earth", while the Furigana reading is for "Fairy Vearth", meaning that technically, both are correct.
