[edit] Description

Not much is seen of Mariejois in either of its appearances. The only exception to this is the gigantic palace, where the Gorousei meet. This palace is seen to have at least six floors, plus extra structures on top, including a number of towers.^{[1] [2]} The (assumed) main entrance of the palace is guarded by a group of soldiers clad in armor, which is something not seen elsewhere to date in all One Piece. ^{[3] [4]} There are only two known locations in the palace, one being the room where the Gorousei meet, ^[5] and a second, unknown location, is a sort of outdoor area, with a large pond. ^[6]

The people who are allowed to live there are the World Nobles, one of them being Saint Roswald^[7]

[edit] History

[edit] Past History

It's not known how long Mariejois has been around. The earliest known history that Mariejois was around in 1127 AOS when the King of Lyneel has to request permission from Mariejois to enter the Grand Line. ^[8]

Due to the rise of the World Government, it is possible that this city had been around since the Void Century, when they defeated another civilization and took control of the law and order of this world. ^{[9] [10]}

In 1510 AOS, it was here that Spandam manipulated the Gorousei. ^[11]

In 1516 AOS, the Council of Kings took place in Mariejois to discuss the rise of the revolutionary Dragon. The meeting was notable for an encounter between Drum ruler Wapol and Arabasta princess Nefertari Vivi which would influence fellow Drum soldier Dalton into realizing the true nature of his king. ^[12]

[edit] Fisher Tiger's Attack

More than ten years ago, Fisher Tiger climbed the Red Line with his hands and attacked Mariejois, doing so to free any Fishmen held as slaves, but allowing all held captive by the Tenryuubito to be free, including Kuja slaves Boa Hancock, Boa Marigold and Boa Sandersonia, despite his hatred of humans. He even set the city on fire.^[13]

[edit] Current Storyline

It is here that the Shichibukai and Marines met for a meeting on Crocodile's replacement. During the meeting, the court was interrupted by Lafitte of the Blackbeard Pirates.

Sengoku, Garp and Kuma were later seen having a conversation about the Straw Hat Crew. Sengoku noted that the crew's log pose will bring them close to Mariejois and began to worry about them because of their past actions.^[14]

[edit] Location

Mariejois is located on top of the Red Line. It's also said to be the only other known entrance into the Grand Line, besides Reverse Mountain. In addition, it is one of the only known entrances to the New World, the other being Fishman Island. ^{[15] [16] [17] [18]}

How this entrance works is still unknown.

• World Government HQ: This is where Sengoku resided along with the Gorousei. This is where the Shichibukai meet, and this is also where we see Lafitte for the first time.
