History
In the Jaya Arc this place was also mentioned in one of Montblanc Noland's journal entries. Noland departed from there on June 21. Around 1122 AOS it was described as a sunny town.[2]
Two years ago, a coup d'état occurred in Vira. This event was first mentioned in Chapter 96. Nami remarked that the world is in turmoil and there was another coup in Vira.[1]
Translation and Dub Issues
Vira has also been spelled as Villa by some scanlators and other translators.
Trivia
- Whether it was a foreshadowing on Oda's part or not, around the same time Vira was first mentioned, Dragon made his first appearance in the same arc. This is a possible foreshadowing as Dragon is a revolutionary.
