Rusukaina is an island in the Calm Belt that is to the northwest of Amazon Lily. It is a harsh island that has forty eight seasons with the season changing weekly.[1]
Geography
There are several different species of dangerous animals on it. Boa openly stated that the island is dangerous even by Kuja standards. A country supposedly used to exist on this island, but its people could not survive against the extreme environment and died out.[1]
According to Silvers Rayleigh, when Monkey D. Luffy arrived on the island, there were over five hundred beasts living there he would not be able to defeat unless he got stronger.[1]
After the time-skip, Monkey D. Luffy successfully mastered Haki, and completely conquered the island.[2]
History
Rusukaina in the winter, around the time of Luffy's departure.
Rayleigh took Luffy here to train him in the use of Haki for two years.[1] After the first year and a half, Rayleigh left Luffy on his own after he taught him the basics of Haki. After another half a year, Luffy became the "boss" of the island, and even befriended some of the animals (which Luffy partially regretted, since he had missed out on getting to eat them). He departed when the time came, with the Kuja Pirates coming to pick him up.[2]
