History[]

Little Garden Arc[]

Mr. 3 and Miss Goldenweek were vacationing on Kyuka Island for a few days when they received orders to take out Vivi and the Straw Hat Pirates after Mr. 5 failed to do so.[1]

Miss Goldenweek's "Operation: Meet Baroque Works"[]

After leaving Little Garden, Miss Goldenweek, Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine were dropped on the island by the pterodactyl Miss Goldenweek had controlled using Colors Trap.[2] A little roughed up, the three wander the island, but when Miss Goldenweek tries to buy them ice cream cones, Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine's Day notice that there are Marines on the island.[3] Hina, Fullbody, and Jango were vacationing on the island while hunting for Mr. 3.[4]

Miss Goldenweek, Mr. 5, and Miss Valentine noticed a wanted poster for Mr. 2 Bon Kurei and decided to put on disguises to hide from the Marines.[5][6] Their disguises would fail them, as Hina obtained sketches of the three Baroque Works agents by bribing the Unluckies.[7] She attacked, and while Miss Goldenweek and Mr. 5 dodged successfully, Miss Valentine's Day was captured.[8] Mr. 5 used his abilities to ward off the Marines, and the two made their escape.[9] Hina secured an imprisoned Miss Valentine and put up a sign warning Kyuka Islands residents and visitors to keep an eye out for Miss Goldenweek, Mr. 3, and Mr. 5.[10][11]

On the island's coast, Mr. 3 prepared his ship when Mr. 2 appeared.[12][13] Miss Goldenweek and Mr. 5 watched from a distance as Hina held Miss Valentine hostage.[14] Suddenly, Mr. 3 rolled out in front of Hina on a cart with a surrender note.[15] However, it was actually Mr. 2 using his ability, and he broke free from his rope, kicking Fullbody in the jaw.[16] Mr. 2 clashed with Hina, allowing Miss Goldenweek and Mr. 5 to rescue Miss Valentine's Day.[17][18] Using Miss Goldenweek's Colors Trap, they forced Hina's subordinates to betray her and sailed away from Kyuka Island on her ship.[19]

Translation and Dub Issues[]

The island is named after a Japanese term for leisure (休暇, Kyūka?). Initially, the Viz manga mistook the katakana for a reference to the English name Cukor; by the time of Miss Goldenweek's "Operation: Meet Baroque Works", this was updated to the more accurate Vacation Island, before being changed again to Kyuka Island in a later instalment of the cover story.

More obscurely, the 4Kids-produced One Piece: Grand Adventure translated it as Holiday Island.
