Pumpkins

From One Piece Encyclopedia

Pumpkins: A orange plump vegetable that grows only in the Fall. While Pumpkins are grown on the blue sea, they can be found in Skypiea.

Before Montblanc Norland, there were no Pumpkins in Skypiea, but in 1122 AOS an explorer name Norland visited Jaya, he brought Pumpkins to the Shandian Tribe. When the Knock-Up Stream sent the part of Jaya which later became the Upper Yard to Skypiea, the Skypieans drove the Shandian Tribes away from their homeland and found Pumpkins there and started growing them themselves. 400 years later Pumpkins became a popular food in Skypiea. Gan Fall loves them, owns a Pumpkin Patch, and would always say that he loves the smell of pumpkins.

The Pumpkin Pirates are based on this type of vegetable.
