Region:	East Blue

Tequila Wolf is a country in the East Blue; it is not actually a landmass, but a massive stone bridge that has been under construction for centuries. Nico Robin was sent here by Bartholomew Kuma during the events of Sabaody Archipelago. The residents of Tequila Wolf were rescued from their enslavement by the Revolutionary Army.

It is one of four mega-structures that have been under construction by slave labor for 700 years, along with Vodka Wolf (ウォッカウルフ, Wokka Urufu^?), Rum Wolf (ラムウルフ, Ramu Urufu^?), and Bourbon Wolf (バーボンウルフ, Bōbon Urufu^?).

History

Past

Ruins of an old work camp.

The bridge has been under construction for the past 700 years, upon demand of the World Nobles. The enormous feat is being carried out by various slaves who are either criminals or people from countries that are not allied with the World Government. Since the construction of the bridge has taken around 700 years, the civilization had to move forward as the bridge advanced. As a result, there are many ruins of work camps further down the bridge. The purpose of this seemingly impossible task is to connect various islands together, although the exact details as to why are currently unknown.

While the Roger Pirates were passing by on the Oro Jackson, Kouzuki Oden observed the slaves laboring.

Four years before the current storyline, Bartholomew Kuma briefly travelled here in search for a cure for his daughter's disease.

Summit War Saga

Post-War Arc

Bartholomew Kuma sent Nico Robin here during the events of Sabaody Archipelago. She was forced into labor until the Revolutionary Army attacked Tequila Wolf and freed Robin and the other slaves.

Final Saga

Egghead Arc

By the time of the Egghead Incident, construction had restarted with slave labor.

At a meeting of the Revolutionary Army, Emporio Ivankov connects the construction of Tequila Wolf and other elevated mega-structures throughout the world to Vegapunk's news of the rising sea levels.

Trivia

• During the construction of the Burma Railway in World War II, over 116,000 laborers and allied prisoners died while building the railway with the most lives being lost at the "Hellfire Pass" near the Kwai bridge. The bridge is famous for allegedly being haunted by the deceased construction workers, leaving it as the center of attention for the numerous deaths. As a side note, both bridges are built by slave and prison labor, and both saw a heavy loss of life from their construction. Just as there are many ruins from the camps along the Tequila Wolf bridge, the Burma Railway itself has many sections that have been left to fall into ruin and be reclaimed by the nearby jungle growth.
• The word "tequila" is likely a reference to the distilled beverage of the same name. It shares this naming scheme with the other mega-structures that are similar to it: vodka, rum and bourbon whiskey.
