All Blue

A mystical sea of legend, rumored to be the only place in the world where the North, South, East, and West seas meet. In this legendary ocean there are said to be fish from each of the seas. Sanji strives to find this ocean of dreams. It is said that the All Blue is found in the Grand Line. In the 4kids dub it's called the "Great Blue". Sanji ) is a fictional character in the anime and manga One Piece. ... 4Kids Entertainment is a company headquartered in New York City that licenses childrens television shows in the United States and in other countries outside Japan. ...


Berry

Berry (ベリー Berī) are the unit of monetary currency in One Piece, almost exclusively depicted in paper form, although coins exist. Although closely resembling United States dollar bills, the large values on the notes harken to the Japanese yen. The 100 Berry coin (as seen in the Dead End Adventure (2003) movie) on the other hand, closely resembles the ¥100 coin. The author has spelled it both as "Berry" and "Belly" on the actual bills. (See: Japanese phonology.) “USD” redirects here. ... A dollar bill can be of various kinds of currency: Federal Reserve dollar bill (modern U.S. currency) United States note (historic U.S. currency) Silver certificate (historic U.S. currency) Gold certificate (historic U.S. currency) Canada dollar (Canadian currency) Australian dollar (Australian currency) New Zealand dollar (New Zealand...

Instead of writing the word out in the text, the author typically uses a shorthand "Berry sign," consisting of a capital "B" with a vertical line through it (similar to a dollar sign). “$” redirects here. ...


Because of the phonology, multiple English spellings exist; the most common among fans is "Beli", although "Beri" is also used, "Berri" and "Belli" are used, but are somewhat uncommon. "Berry" for singular and "Berries" for plural is what is used by the 4Kids dub, the FUNimation dub, and the VIZ manga. The Japanese language does not distinguish between plural and singular forms, therefore "ベリー" is the sole term used to identify the money in the Japanese version. Not to be confused with the Javanese language. ...


The 'Blank Century'

Also referred to as the Void Century or the Blank Page of History, this is the period 800 years ago when a great civilization dominated the world and then at the end of the century they disappeared. At the end of the century the World Government came to power and censored everything that happened in the previous 100 years.


This period became known as the blank century because there is nothing left to acknowledge anything whatever happened during that time. The only surviving written accounts of the events of the Blank Century are on the Rio Poneglyph. This has prompted historians to search far and wide for the Rio Poneglyph. However, the World Government is desperate to keep the Blank Century a secret; they've obliterated entire islands to kill the archaeologists capable of deciphering the poneglyphs, and when eight-year-old Nico Robin escaped one such assault, the World Government responded by putting a 79-Million-Berry bounty on her head. These harsh actions have led many to assume that the true history of the Blank Century contains information which puts the World Government in severely bad light. This is a list of terms from the anime/manga series One Piece. ... Nico Robin ) is a fictional character in the anime and manga series One Piece. ...


Finding the true history of the Blank Century is Robin's dream.

Dials

The Breath Dial
The Breath Dial

In the land of Skypiea, Dials (貝 (ダイヤル) Daiyaru?, lit. "seashells" by the kanji, "dials" by pronunciation) are shells of various sizes and uses that come from creatures that live near the sky-islands. They are used to absorb and emit things like sound, light, impact, water, etc. Some are used to power everyday items such a lamps, stoves, or recording devices. Others have more powerful properties, such as absorbing smells, powering machines (such as the JetSki-like Wavers) and even taking attacks which can then be thrown back at their opponents. So long as the shell is not damaged a Dial can be used practically forever, however there are a few Dials that do not work in the normal blue seas. Image File history File links Breathdial. ... Image File history File links Breathdial. ... Pump-jet PWCs such as this Yamaha Waverunner are extremely popular for their speed and maneuverability. ... This is a list of terms from the anime/manga series One Piece. ...


In Skypiea, Dials make up the basics of Sky warfare and those who underestimate the power of the dials are doomed to lose against them. Usopp gains a number of these dials, which he uses later on in the series.

  • Vision Dial: This dial has the ability to absorb images and "reflect" them as photos.
  • Breath Dial: Produces a burst of wind; larger ones can be used for powering vehicles such as the waver. Smaller Breath Dials can also be used on footwear to give a user improved jumping and help the wearer travel around faster.
  • Jet Dial: This dial causes increased acceleration by releasing the air in one quick and powerful burst and works similar to the Breath Dial. It can be strapped to the forearm to allow a user to throw an accelerated punch before the enemy even knows what hit them and Wavers equipped with this Dial are exceptionally faster than Breath Dial Wavers. The creature that made these Dials became extinct hundreds of years ago, making these Dials quite a rare sight today. They used to be found in Bilka, Enel's homeland which was destroyed.
  • Heat Dial: A dial that produces heat. Used for cooking and heating up weapons.
  • Flame Dial: A dial that absorbs and releases flames, not to be confused with the Heat Dial.
  • Lamp Dial: This dial produces light and therefore is used for lamps.
  • Tone Dial: A dial that is able to record and replay sounds spoken into it.
  • Water Dial: Though not seen, it is presumably used to absorb and release water.
  • Ball Dial: This dial releases a puff of cloud that forms into a ball shape upon being released that can be sat or stood on. Apparently they can be filled with weapons, animals and other things.
  • Milky Dial: A dial that produces a trail of clouds that can be used to travel on by Breath Dial-related vehicles. It can also be used to move the user up into the air, like a rocket, although it is not effective as the Breath Dial for general movement.
  • Flavor Dial: This dial can store smells and aromas, along with other types of gas such as explosive ones.
  • Axe Dial: A rarer dial not found on Skypiea itself, it is used by Enel's enforcers. It has the power to absorb and reflect slices. A shield cannot protect against these slices.
  • Impact Dial: A dial that works by absorbing the impact from a force colliding with it. The stored energy can then be released in a powerful blow. Used mainly for fighting where it is normally attached to the hand with string, bandages, or a glove. Just like the Reject dial the user of a Impact Dial feels some of the dial's force as it releases its power, however unlike the Reject dial, the Impact Dial is not deadly, only inflicting force equal to the absorbed impact onto the user rather than 10x said force.
  • Reject Dial: An extremely rare Dial. it is 10 times stronger then the Impact Dial, but its increased power means it is deadly to the enemy and the user alike.
  • Flash Dial: Works in the same way as a Lamp Dial, however unlike the Lamp Dial it produces light in a quick and bright flash. In battle it can be used to blind someone for a brief moment of time, allowing the user to strike their foe when they are recuperating.

Doskoi Panda

Doskoi Panda is a logo that appears on many things in One Piece. It is the One Piece version of the Acme company from Looney Tunes in the sense that it appears on all kinds of items from shirts to footballs. It is also another one of the things Oda puts in his manga for fans to spot like Panda Man. According to Oda, Doskoi is a popular brand of franchise in the East Blue and its HQ is on Mirror Ball Island (which featured in the Django's Dance Carnival featurette alongside the One Piece movie Clockwork Island Adventure). It is a very high class brand and equally very expensive, one Shirt might cost a given person over 10,000 Berries. Also, a cheap fake brand, Dosko1 Panda exists according to Oda.[1] The Acme Corporation (sometimes made a backronym to: A Company (that) Makes Everything - though this is in dispute) is a fictional corporation that exists in the Looney Tunes universe. ...

East Blue

The East Blue, is a ocean in the One Piece World and was the setting of the first six arcs of the manga and Anime. ...

Extol

The currency used in Skypiea. Normally written as a capital "E" with a slash through it like a dollar sign. There are 10,000 extols per Belli.


Fishmen

Fishmen (魚人 Gyojin?), (Often incorrectly referred to by fans as "Mermen", "Mermaids" or "Aquamen"), are one of two species that dominate the seas (the other being the Merfolk). Fishmen come from Fishman Island, an undersea "island" in the Grand Line. Appearance-wise, they are more "fish-like" than merfolk, looking like a cross between a man and a creature of the ocean such as Octopus, Manta Ray, or Sawfish, yet they still have legs. They are twice as strong as a human on land, and ten times stronger underwater. A typical Fishman (although this does not apply to all Fishmen) considers humans an inferior, weaker species. Because of their strength they appear throughout the entire series of One Piece on a regular basis. Their race includes the pirate Arlong and his crew as well as Tom, the legendary shipwright. Unlike Arlong, who despises humans as a weaker species, Tom does not think of them badly and befriends them (Franky, Iceburg) and mermen at will. Arlong ) is a primary villain in the anime and manga One Piece. ... Franky ) is a fictional character from the anime and manga series One Piece by Eichiro Oda. ... The Galley-La Companys main office. ...


Even though fishmen are part fish they are still mammals and give birth to live young.[3] Their view of life under the sea is dominated by their views that they should rule over all other fish in the sea. Despite this view, usually they get along well with the Merfolk who share the opposite view on life, however it is not unknown for Fishmen to take advantage of the Merfolk's nature.[4]


Giants

Giants (巨人 Kyojin?) are larger than usual characters and usually even tower over the buildings in One Piece. The first race introduced in One Piece is the Elbaf clan with Little Garden arc. The Elbafs believe they must die in battle, that duels are sacred battles between the strong to determine who wins the favour of the Gods of Elbaf. Upon returning to Elbaf after a victorious battle, they are treated as heroes. Elbaf mostly is based on Vikings in both design and beliefs. However, not all giants are like this, for example Jaguar D. Saul stated that although he was a giant he did not come from Elbaf and that not all giants share what he called the same 'Barbaric' beliefs. All giants can live for up to three times longer then human beings, topping up at around 300 years. They are a strong and almost unstoppable race, the average human cannot stand up to them making them both ideal guards and deadly warriors. The name Viking is a loan from the native Scandinavian term for the Norse seafaring warriors who raided the coasts of Scandinavia, Europe and the British Isles from the late 8th century to the 11th century, the period of European history referred to as the Viking Age. ... Barbarian was originally a Greek term applied to any foreigner, one not sharing a recognized culture or degree of polish with the speaker or writer employing the term. ...


Examples of people from this race include: Dorry, Brogy, Oimo, Kaashii , Jaguar D. Saul. They are not to be confused with humans affected by Giantism such as the Franky Family's Mighty Destroyers, Whitebeard and Gecko Moria. To a giant, those humans with Giantism are no more than "oversized ants."

It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into The Three Great Powers. ...

The Shichibukai (七武海 Shichibukai, literally Seven Military Seas), called the Seven Warlords of the Sea in the English anime and manga, are a set of fictional characters in the anime and manga series One Piece. ...


Going Merry

  • Known as the Merry Go in English-language versions

The Going Merry ), known in the 4Kids version of the anime and English version of the manga as Merry Go [1], (It will be called Going Merry in FUNimations upcoming dub) was a fictional caravel used by the Straw Hat Pirates in the anime and manga One Piece. ...

The Grand Line

The Grand Line (written in Japanese as 偉大なる海路 Idai Naru Kairo, literally Grand Sea Route, but pronounced Gurando Rain) is a fictional location in the anime and manga One Piece. ...

Log Pose

An example of an Eternal Pose.
An example of an Eternal Pose.

A Log Pose is a fictional, compass-like navigational device. In Japanese, the term is represented by the kanji phrase 記録指針 Kiroku Shishin, which literally means "Logbook Compass Needle" (a reference to its function), but it is pronounced "Rogu Pōsu." In the edited for TV English-dubbed anime it is called a "Grand Compass." Image File history File links Etheral_pose. ... Image File history File links Etheral_pose. ... For other uses, see Fiction (disambiguation). ... This article is about the navigational instrument. ... Japanese writing Kanji Kana Hiragana Katakana Hentaigana Manyōgana Uses Furigana Okurigana Rōmaji   ) are the Chinese characters that are used in the modern Japanese logographic writing system along with hiragana (平仮名), katakana (片仮名), and the Arabic numerals. ... The English language is a West Germanic language that originates in England. ...


Function and Use

Due to the strange magnetic fields present in the Grand Line, normal compasses cease to function properly. Thus, a solution was found in the form of the Log Pose. A Log Pose becomes acclimated to whatever magnetic field it is in over time, and once it has set, it will point the way to the next island on the Grand Line. However, this process is variable: every island has a different amount of time that it takes for the Log Pose to reset, and it may be up to a year or more before a Log Pose has adapted to point to the next island. As an example of these differing times, the island of Jaya takes four days for the Log Pose to adjust, the island of Water Seven takes seven days, and Little Garden takes a full year. The Grand Line is a fictional location in the anime and manga known as One Piece. ... This article is about the navigational instrument. ...


Eternal Pose

Another special type of compass, known as an Eternal Pose (written as 永久指針 Eikyū Shishin ["Eternal Compass Needle"], and pronounced "Etānaru Pōsu"), always points to the same island, no matter how long it stays elsewhere. These are used heavily by those who have a home port on a specific island of the Grand Line, as well as by the Navy. In the now-defunct 4Kids English dub of the anime, it is called an "Eternal Compass." Because of FUNimation's acquisition of the One Piece anime, it will be called "Eternal Pose" in its version. It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into The Three Great Powers. ...


Kame Pose

(Note: anime only) Yet another special type of compass consisting of a baby turtle (or Kame, hence the name) in a small pool of water. These are used instead of Log Poses to navigate to Mecha Island, as Log Poses cannot be used to find the way there but Kame Poses always point towards the island. This article lists locations in the world of the anime/manga One Piece. ...


Maxim

A giant flying ark designed and used by Enel and constructed by the enslaved followers of Gan Fall with an ornate face made from gold taken from the ruins of Shandra on the top deck. Everything inside Maxim is completely automated, and it has many features, including: two golden conduits on the top deck that Enel channels his lightning through to power it, two hundred Jet Dials from Enel's homeland of Bilka that can keep it aloft for up to an hour if the engines malfunction, granting Enel enough time to make repairs, and large internal tanks of water (presumably for evaporating and condensing into stormclouds). Enel (Often romanized as Ener or Eneru) is a fictional villain from the One Piece manga and anime series. ... The following is a list of minor characters in the manga and anime series One Piece: // The elderly gatekeeper of Skypiea. ... This article lists locations in the world of the anime/manga One Piece. ...


Enel is capable of more abilities combined with Maxim's power than he would be alone. For example, he can turn into electricity and travel through the golden face on it to lunge out at enemies, or reforge the same gold to suit his purposes (such as the massive golden ball he encased Luffy's forearm in). The most impressive ability of Maxim, however, is Deathpiea, where it creates massive black stormclouds filled with intense currents of electricity and wind that Enel can use to rain lightning down on a target, as well as use his ultimte attack, Raigou. Monkey D. Luffy in Sanjis clothing Monkey D. Luffy (モンキー・D・ルフィ Monkī D Rufi) is the main character of the anime and manga One Piece. ...


Maxim's propulsion systems are impressive as well, as they were able to carry him all the way from Earth to Fairy Vearth (AKA the moon), where he currently resides in his Mini-arc. However, this may just be a sign that the laws of space don't apply in One Piece. Sadly, Maxim appears to have been destroyed by Space Pirates in this Mini-arc.


Merfolk

Merfolk (人魚 Ningyo?) are shown in the world of One Piece as one of the two major races that inhabit the Sea, the other being the Fishmen. Often the term "Fishmen" is mistranslated from Japanese to "Mermen," however the two species are very different. Unlike the Fishmen, the Merfolk are peaceful, and prefer their race to remain a secret. This is a list of terms from the anime/manga series One Piece. ...


Like the mermaids and mermen of folklore, their upper half is that of a human while the lower half is that of a fish. As demonstrated recently by Kokoro, mermaids may walk on land as when they are thirty years old, their tails split into two. Like the Fishmen, they are based on the different fish of the Sea; for example, Kokoro is an Icefish Mermaid. Mermaids and Mermen are friends to the fishes of the sea, fun loving and usually get along with most people, including Fishmen (even though Fishmen can often take advantage of the Merfolk's good nature). For an article about the 1990 movie Mermaids, see Mermaids (movie) A mermaid is a legendary creature with a female human head and torso (if its male, its called a merman) and the tail of a fish, which inhabits the water. ... The following is a list of minor characters in the manga and anime series One Piece: // The elderly gatekeeper of Skypiea. ... Species Chaenocephalus aceratus (16 more) The icefishes (or white-blooded fishes) are a family (Channichthyidae) of perciform fish found in the cold waters around Antarctica and southern South America. ...


So far, the only other member of this species featured is Camie, who was a mermaid the Fishman Hatchan saved twice in the mini-series Hatchan's Sea-Floor Stroll. The following is a list of minor characters in the manga and anime series One Piece: // The elderly gatekeeper of Skypiea. ... Spoiler warning: Arlongs flag The Arlong Pirates (アーロン一味, Āron Ichimi) are fictional pirates from the anime and manga One Piece, led by Arlong. ... // Manga Story Arcs The manga can currently be broken down into 4 parts: the East Blue Saga, the Baroque Works Saga, the Skypiea Saga and the World Government Saga. ...


North Blue

The North Blue, is an ocean in the One Piece World. ...

One Piece

One Piece (glossed in print as ひとつなぎの大秘宝 Hito Tsunagi no Daihihō "The Great Treasure of One Piece", but still pronounced Wanpīsu) is a legendary treasure said to be of unimaginable value. It is said that it was hidden somewhere deep in the Grand Line by its previous owner, the Pirate King Gol D. Roger. Nobody seems to know what it really is or what it looks like. Given the recurring theme of treasure being something of great personal value, One Piece may simply be something that Gol D. Roger valued. The Grand Line is a fictional location in the anime and manga known as One Piece. ... In the anime and manga One Piece, the fictional King of the Pirates is the strongest pirate alive and owner of the legendary treasure known as The One Piece. ... The following list is a list of minor characters in One Piece: Spoiler warning: Portgas D. Ace Portgas D. Ace is Monkey D. Luffys older brother. ...


Pirate King

The Pirate King (called King of the Pirates in the English versions) is the strongest pirate alive and owner of the legendary treasure that was later dubbed as "One Piece". "Kaizoku-Ō" (海賊王), the source of the term, literally means "Pirate King".


The English manga initially used "Pirate King" but later switched to "King of the Pirates". After "King of Pirates" became used in the manga, 4Kids chose to use "King of the Pirates" for the dub of One Piece.


The term "Pirate King" was originally simply a nickname for Gol D. Roger to distinguish himself among swashbucklers. Upon Roger's execution, the name was romanticized by the people of the One Piece world into an actual title, much in the same way One Piece itself was simply "Roger's treasure" until the Pirate King's death. In the English manga and anime, "Pirate King" clearly marks this distinguishment; although Gol D. Roger was Pirate King, Monkey D. Luffy seeks to become the new Pirate King 22 years later.

Before his death, Pirate King Gol D. Roger hid the One Piece. It is rumored to be located at Raftel, the island at the end of The Grand Line. The frenzy over discovering and owning such a massive treasure sparked the "Great Age of Pirates". Until One Piece has been claimed, there will be no current Pirate King.

Right now, the closest person to becoming the Pirate King is Whitebeard (Edward Newgate). However, many people who have met Luffy, such as Coby and Helmeppo, believe that he will be the Pirate King; Kokoro also started to call Luffy as Pirate King himself (chapter 431). All members of Yonkou are also considered candidates, though at least two members are more concerned with preventing Blackbeard from gaining the title.

Pluton

Pluton is an ancient superweapon said to be in the form of a huge warship supposedly capable of destroying whole islands. It was constructed long ago in the city of Water 7 in the Grand Line. For that reason, Sir Crocodile sought to gain control over Pluton for his own means. The location to which Pluton was taken is said to be somewhere in Alabasta, and the Poneglyph which can be used to find it is also located in Alabasta, within its royal tombs. A superweapon is an extremely powerful weapon by the standards of its time and its scale. ...


Later in the Water 7 arc, it was revealed that the blueprints for the Pluton have been kept in Water 7 all this time, passed through a line of incredible shipwrights for centuries, eventually ending up in the hands of the legendary shipwright Tom. The duty of the shipwrights was to guard the blueprints and prevent them from falling into the wrong hands, as well as use them to construct a second Pluton should the first ever get revived. The following is a list of minor characters in the manga and anime series One Piece: // The elderly gatekeeper of Skypiea. ...


CP9 sought to take the blueprints from Iceburg, Tom's apprentice who had inherited them. However, they later discovered that Franky, Tom's other apprentice, had them in his possession all along. Much later in Enies Lobby, Franky chooses to destroy the blueprints once and for all, stating the world will just have to find another way to destroy Pluton if it is ever revived. Franky also stated that by destroying the blueprints he was betting that the Straw Hat crew would be able to defeat CP9 and rescue Nico Robin making Pluton's revival a moot point. // Cipher Pol Spoiler warning: In the World Government Organization in the fictional world of One Piece, CP denotes Cipher Police. ... The Galley-La Companys main office. ... Franky ) is a fictional character from the anime and manga series One Piece by Eichiro Oda. ... Nico Robin ) is a fictional character in the anime and manga series One Piece. ...


Pluton's actual form has yet to be shown in either the anime or manga, as Nico Robin does not actually translate any details from its corresponding Poneglyph in Alabasta, nor does anyone ever in possession of the blueprints actually show any of the pages to the viewers.


Poneglyph

Scattered among the world are mysterious stone blocks called "Poneglyphs", left by a lost civilization from the Blank Century. These blocks are inscribed with the script of an ancient language, and tell of a history long forgotten. This history includes the mention of (at least) two weapons of mass destruction: Pluton and Poseidon. There are two types of Poneglyphs: the ones which carries information to reach the other Poneglyphs, which tell the True History and the ones which carries the records of True History. It has been revealed that it is against the law of the World Government to decipher them. Regardless, to reach and decipher the Rio Poneglyph is the ultimate goal of Nico Robin. It has also been revealed that Gol D. Roger was able to read poneglyphs. Nico Robin ) is a fictional character in the anime and manga series One Piece. ...

Poneglyph of Shandora

Located in Skypiea, Robin discovered that each location of the Poneglyphs held not one but two Poneglyphs. The first Poneglyph has a message to finding the second Poneglyph, while the second Poneglyph held the message of the lost century. Skypiea's first poneglyph was located in a set of ruins Robin found in Upper Yard. Skypiea's second Poneglyph was located on its sacred bell and it revealed to Robin another dark secret -this poneglyph spoke of how to locate yet another weapon, Poseidon. Gol D. Roger had also previously read this Poneglyph and left a message encouraging anyone who could read the Poneglyphs to continue searching for the lost history. The Shandians were left to guard the Poneglyph but over time as events in Skypiea played out they forgot about its existence. Skypiea is the twelfth story arc in the series, and the second and last of two in the Skypiea Saga of the manga/anime, One Piece. ... This is a list of terms from the anime/manga series One Piece. ... The following list is a list of minor characters in One Piece: Spoiler warning: Portgas D. Ace Portgas D. Ace is Monkey D. Luffys older brother. ...


Ohara Poneglyph

Located in Ohara, this poneglyph includes information about the Blank Century--among other things, it includes the name of the lost civilization, though it has yet to be said what the name is. The World Government considered the archaeologists studying it dangerous and used the Buster Call to destroy the island, Nico Robin being the sole survivor. Nico Robin ) is a fictional character in the anime and manga series One Piece. ...


Rio Poneglyph

It is said that the Rio Poneglyph, which contains the true history of the One Piece world (including the "Blank Century" that is forbidden to be researched), may be found on the island of Raftel at the end of the Grand Line. Once found it will reveal the lost history from the Blank Century. According to Robin the Rio Poneglyph is the message carried by all the Poneglyphs along the Grand Line.[5] This is a list of terms from the anime/manga series One Piece. ...


Poseidon

Another weapon of similar intentions to Pluton. So far aside from the knowledge that the Poneglyph of Shandora held the secret to its location, nothing has been said about what Poseidon is or its power. This is a list of terms from the anime/manga series One Piece. ...


Raftel

Raftel is the island at the end of the Grand Line. Gol D. Roger is supposedly the only one to ever reach there. One would assume that the One Piece is to be found there, though it is not entirely certain.


SBS

The SBS (short for 質問を募集するShitsumon o Boshū Suru, "I'm Taking Questions") is a question-and-answer column that began in volume 4 of the manga, in which Eiichiro Oda answers questions sent in by his fans, making jokes and sometimes telling useful information about the story and characters. It is here that the ages of the Straw Hat pirates were first revealed, as well as various facts about the story that are not immediately apparent (but nevertheless present) in the chapters themselves. Sometimes the information on the characters is just suggested in this section by the fans, to which Oda just agrees with them and makes it official; for example, Tashigi, Chopper and Robin's birthdays which were all fan suggestions.


There are several running jokes throughout the SBS, including the fact that a reader always manages to start the SBS before the author can. The SBS was also where the author revealed the existence of the hidden characters Pandaman and Tomato Gang, who appear hidden in the background at many points during the series. Because of the nature of the SBS and the appeal of One Piece, Oda will get questions of all kinds of nature be it serious, silly, or 'mature'.


Seastone

Seastone (海楼石 Kairōseki), called Sea-Prism Stone in the 4Kids English anime, and Cherry Stone in One Piece Grand Battle, is a naturally occurring (though apparently rare) substance that can cancel out Devil Fruit powers. It is recently discovered that Seastone is harder to break than diamond. Typically, Seastone is primarily found in the form of restraining devices, such as shackles or cages. Thusly, it is deployed as a Devil-Fruit restrainer by the Navy as well as other groups like the Shichibukai and Cipher Pol. One Piece Grand Battle! is a Whimsical one-on-one fighting game based on the Shonen Jumps anime One Piece. ... This article is about the gemstone. ...

Cipher Pol (サイファーポール, Saifāru pōru) is an organization in the popular manga and anime series One Piece. ...


It was stated by captain Smoker that seastone "emits the same energy as the sea", possibly in the form of special wavelengths of some sort. So far the material has only shown any effect upon actual contact with someone who has eaten a Devil Fruit. Upon contact the material drains the victim's body of energy, and robs him of control of his Devil Fruit powers - having the same effect as throwing them into the sea. The wavelength is the distance between repeating units of a wave pattern. ...


The degree of "weakness" induced by the seastone depends on its density and composition; for example, seastone handcuffs robs the prisoner of their abilities, but still allows the prisoner to walk around. Seastone only works upon direct and constant contact, which explains how Captain Smoker can carry a seastone-tipped jutte on his back, without it disabling him. (Presumably, even thick clothing will prevent the Seastone's effect from harming the victim.)

The effect of seastones also affect creatures of the seas, such as Sea Kings. By layering the bottom of the ships with a layer of seastones, creatures that are underneath the boat will be unaware of the ship, and will not attack it. This, along with the effect of the Devil fruit, is researched by Dr. Vegapunk, a Navy scientist. A creature is a created being, as opposed to a creator. ...

Sea Train

A Sea Train (海列車 Umi Ressha?) is an anachronistic locomotor in Eiichiro Oda's manga, One Piece. To date, there are only two in existence, both built by Tom the Fishman, a reputed and legendary shipbuilder from the city of Water 7. An anachronism (from Greek ana, back, and chronos, time) is an artifact that belongs to another time, a person who seems to be displaced in time (i. ... Eiichiro Oda , born January 1, 1975 in Kumamoto, Kumamoto) is a Japanese manga artist, best known as the creator of the manga and anime One Piece. ...

The Pirate Ganzak... The following is a list of minor characters in the manga and anime series One Piece: // The elderly gatekeeper of Skypiea. ... The Water 7 arc is the 15th story arc in the manga/anime series One Piece. ...


22 years prior to the manga's current date, Tom was considering building a proper Sea Train when he was approached by representatives of the World Government, who sought the Fishman for the crime of building Gol D. Roger's pirate ship, the Oro Jackson. At the time, Water 7's remoteness and proximity to a large number of Sea King made the port city undesirable for trade, slowly eroding the city and all who lived there. By building his "steam paddle boat", Tom would effectively save Water 7 by opening it up for trade, as well as saving his own life. The Judge overseeing Tom's trial agreed to postpone Tom's crimes for 10 years; if he was successful at building the Sea Train Network, he would be pardoned for his original crime. The following list is a list of minor characters in One Piece: Spoiler warning: Portgas D. Ace Portgas D. Ace is Monkey D. Luffys older brother. ... // Called a Transponder Snail Phone in the English dub. ...


When Tom began construction of Water 7's Sea Train Network, he had already built a prototypical steam engine called the Rocket Man. After drawing up a new blue print. Tom's polished train, The Puffing Tom, was originally only connected to Enies Lobby, but Tom took an additional four years to build tracks to three other nearby islands: Saint Popla, Pucchi, and San Faldo. The Enies Lobby arc is the sixteenth story arc in the manga/anime series, One Piece. ...


By design, a Sea Train is roughly immune to changes in weather; the train's momentum and speed allow it to pulse foreword in any situation, even against an Aqua Laguna (a large storm that hits Water 7 every year). Whenever the train passes over the track, a device near the wheels makes an underwater dissonance that drives away Sea Kings. The tracks of a Sea Train lie just under the surface of the ocean, and sway with the tides to avoid resistance damage. The tracks require only occasional maintenance, as they are never really "used"; a Sea Train paddles on the ocean's surface, and only connects to the tracks as a guide to its destination. Dissonance has several meanings, all related to conflict or incongruity. ...


Puffing Tom

Tom's finest and most powerful Sea Train. Possibly named for one of the first ever steam locomotives, 'Puffing Billy', Puffing Tom was built during Tom's original ten year hiatus from government persecution, with significant improvements added over the Rocket Man. Puffing Tom's design was based on historical 19th century steam locomotives. [6] Great Western Railway No. ...


Rocket Man

Tom's proto-type Sea Train. Rocket Man was considered by all who worked on it as an experimental failure; the train could only travel at dangerously high speeds, had no means of braking, and lacked the momentum to plow though obstacles without getting derailed. The Rocket Man was thought to be destroyed after crashing into the isle of Enies Lobby and it was hit with a cannon shell. However it had enough power left in it to jump the waterfall gap separating Enies Lobby and the Tower of Justice, carrying the Straw Hats along with it, and crashed into the aforementioned Tower. Derailed is a 2005 American thriller/drama film based on a James Siegel novel by the same name adapted by Stuart Beattie. ...


Shichibukai

The Shichibukai (七武海 Shichibukai, literally Seven Military Seas), called the Seven Warlords of the Sea in the English anime and manga, are a set of fictional characters in the anime and manga series One Piece. ...

Shandians

The Shandians are a fictional tribe of people from the anime and manga One Piece, playing a major role in the Skypiea arc. ...

Skypieans

Skypieans are the people who come from Skypiea and live on Angel Island and other islands in the sky. The skypieans are mostly a non-aggressive race who live peacefully on the Sky Islands. They use dials for everyday use such as cooking. They have wings similar to the ones found on the backs of the Shandians. They train their hair to grow like the antenna of an insect from a young age, using sticks in their hair to support the end. They greet each other by saying 'Heso' (which is Japanese for bellybutton) often while putting their hand against their head and sticking two fingers up. This is a list of terms from the anime/manga series One Piece. ... The Shandians are a fictional tribe of people from the anime and manga One Piece, playing a major role in the Skypiea arc. ...


They follow the Leadership of their ruling governor (whom they call 'God'). They rarely question the actions of their ruling cast, even when faced with the fearsome Enel. To the Skypieans, the ground from the Blue Seas below (which they refer to as 'Vearth') is sacred as plants do not grow without it in Skypiea. Because of their devotion towards their ruling cast and their value of Vearth, long ago their ancestors entered a war with the Shandian over their homeland, one which lasted 400 years.


South Blue

The South Blue, is an ocean in the One Piece World. ...

Vearth

The term Vearth is basically what Skypieans call regular dirt and/or soil. Because it is so rare in Skypiea, the people treat it with great value. Eneru also wished to travel to Fairy Vearth (Endless Varse in the 4Kids dub), which he, apparently, thinks is the moon. Eneru (Often romanized as Ener or Enel) is a villain from the fictional One Piece manga and anime series. ... This article is about Earths moon. ...


Waver

A small vehicle created in Skypiea made from a small boat, a set of handle bars connected to a front wheel, & a Breath Dial attached to the rear for propulsion. These are best suited for use by only one or two people. Nami possesses a Waver that is faster than most, because it uses a Jet Dial as propulsion instead of a Breath Dial.


Variations on this craft include the Waver skate, small metal skates that with Breath Dials attached to either side that can be used either for walking or rapid propulsion, and the Waver board, a snowboard with Breath Dials attached to either side.


West Blue

The West Blue is an ocean in the One Piece World. ...
