Bowl Island

Bowl Island (ボウル島 Bōru Shima) is an oddity of an island that sits within the waters of the Grand Line; in particular, its first half, otherwise known as Paradise. It is named as such, due to its appearance as a mountainous, rocky bowl jutting out of the middle of the ocean. Within the bowl however, lay towns and civilians.

Bowl Island became a major setting in the story, Grand Voyage.

Trivia

 * Bowl Island was originally the concept of Wyvern 0m3g4, back before he begun working on the official One Dream series. Back then, he had conceived Bowl Island as a New World island, where the events of the now aborted Bowl Island Arc would have occurred (involving The Jolly Pirates, the debut of The No Beard Pirates, and as well as the debut of Forge Mary.) Understanding Zeon1 was in need of a new island as a setting for his story, Grand Voyage, Wyvern offered the use of Bowl Island, and gave Zeon permission to make whatever necessary changes were in order. Thus, Bowl Island became a Paradise island as opposed to its original status as a New World island. However, Zeon kept the basic premise intact; that of a large, rocky island standing above a sandy shore, in the shape of a cereal bowl.
