In the world of One Piece, there are many islands visited by the main character, Monkey D Luffy. Until now, it is not known how many islands exist in the world of One Piece. Each island is a place where an arc/saga will begin. The presence of these islands makes the scenes in this series memorable. Like the island of the zombies, fishman island, giant island and so on. But did you know that Oda created these islands based on our current real world? What are these islands? Let's take a look at which islands are Oda's references.
1. Alabasta
Alabasta is one of the most memorable islands for fans. This island has very clearly imitated desert countries such as Arabia and Egypt. This island is described as a very dry island because rainwater has never fallen on the island for years. Not only are things visually the same, but also what happens in the real world is also depicted on the island. When the main character and his friends (the Straw Hat Pirates) entered this island, there was already a civil war between the Alabasta Kingdom and its own people because it was influenced by a Shicibukai (a pirate affiliated with the government) named Crocodile. Luffy and his friends try to solve the problem.
2. Water Seven
Water seven is a saga that many fans like because the drama presented is very epic, the battle scenes are cool, and of course what we underline here is the island. This is a city in Paradise known for its shipwrights. The Straw Hat Pirates stopped here to trade in their gold for belly, as well as to repair the Going Merry (a ship) and also to find a new shipwright for their crew. It is part of the route they log was on, heading there directly after Long Ring Long Land, making it the eighth island in Paradise that they visited. The city is inspired by the city of Venice in Italy.Architecturally, Water Seven is Venice itself. By the 12th century Venice had extensive shipyards with professional shipbuilders capable of producing one ship every few hours.Likewise Water7, they have the most famous shipyard in the Grand Line (the largest ocean in the world of One Piece).
Not only inspired from abroad. Oda also really describes the atmosphere of Japan in the past in his work called Wano. This island was described in ancient Japan where it was very thick that people still wore kimonos and also carried katanas. Samurai and Ninja are the guardians of the village. Then typical Japanese street food vendors and samisen (Japanese musical instruments) also reinforce this impression that this is Japanese culture. In this saga, the Strawhat Pirates try to save Wano Island from the threat of Kaido who wants to make Wano his base. It turns out that not only in terms of the same architecture, but also the story that occurs in this saga is very similar to the Japanese literature entitled "Momotaro"
