Agreed. As for Shita's overall design, well unfortunately enough, I haven't fully thought out much for it yet. All I have pictured in mind so far is this one super huge bubble (comparable to that of Fishman Island's. Says a lot that it could fit within a mountain of all things.) That, and I'm trying to use some imagery drawn from the Divine Comedy. Like how Impel Down was based off of Dante's depiction of Hell, with descending levels that had specific punishments attached to them, I was thinking of having Shita resemble Dante's version of Heaven; something to do with spherical heavenly bodies, or "spheres within spheres," or something of that nature. I'm currently thinking of having the one huge "hub" bubble being the main island, with smaller bubbles attached to the main island from all sides (and possibly attached to each other too, come to think of it.) These smaller bubbles would act as "districts," such as a shopping district, a business district, an entertainment district, and so on.

As for its community, I was thinking of having it be one big, shared location. I guess you could call it a sort of city-state, if you will; where the entire island itself is like one big independent city. Though this isn't set in stone just yet, seeing that as of now, I'm considering the possibilities of individual cities, villages and towns as well. Maybe the districts would act as Shita's "towns." All depends on what gets decided upon, I suppose.

The only other thing I had in mind, which I'm growing fond of, is the idea of using some kind of water-proof paint to display the current proprietor's jolly roger on the "roof" of the Atlas mountain. For example, the image the islanders would see above them at all times after the Jollys take control of Shita from Pyrite Liger would be, unsurprisingly, The Jolly Pirates' jolly roger, looking down at them. The jolly roger would be changed whenever a new pirate or crew comes along and takes control of the island away from the previous owner.

Of course, seeing as the design for the island itself is still under construction, I'm not opposed to accepting suggestions and advice. After all, I've already received help from users like Kai and Undead earlier, and I like the idea of letting the wiki as a community have a hand in creating this island, as it's my grandiose attempt at making a big, significant aspect to the One Piece world (which I rarely often do.) And as such, I don't see this as just a Jolly Pirates thing, or just a One Dream thing. I see this idea as a Ship of Fools thing, that could affect any and nearly all of our characters and associated ideas. Thus, why shouldn't I share Shita with the rest of you? You guys have awesome ideas too, after all.
