Name of Island: Sky Turtle Island
Size of Island: Large (Slightly smaller than Alabasta)
Location: The island is actually a giant flying turtle that stays in the sky or the sea every other month, it is able to have a magnetic field do to the turtle having a magnetic core in its spine large enough to give it a magnetic field. It has a large Bubble over the top of it, allowing for flora and fauna to strive, though you’ll never see these types of beings anywhere else. The Turtle fly’s into the air for the first half of a month. The second half it dives down to the deepest parts of the ocean to feed. It is located along the reflection route.
Log Pose Time: 15 days (This is so that you crew can experience at least one of the Monthly festivities.
Flora and Fauna: The plants that grow on Sky turtle island are unlike any others seen in the world. Do the often change in climate from the high sky to the deep sea. the plants have adapted to be very much like those found on the surface of mountains as well as the deep ocean. One of the most noted is the Sea milkweed. An adaption of the two plants, it is much like the two mixed, seaweed with the flower of the milkweed on top. Many types of amazing animals live here as well. Some common house pets are common such as Parrotfish, Dogfish, and Turtles. There are few wild animals on the surface of the Turtles shell, instead prefer to live on the inside of the turtle’s shell where it is dark and void of civilization.
Inhabitants: The inhabitants of the island are truly a marvel to behold, the people who live on this island are Sky Fish folk and Sky Mer-folk. These are hybrids of the Fish men you see at the bottom of the ocean, and the Skypiens found in the highest parts of the sky. The fish men have long, fin like wings that help with swimming, but cannot be used for actual flight. The mer-folk have much more angel like wings, which do allow for flight, with a lot of effort however. They live a mix of Skypien and Fishman life. They do have dials.
NPCS:
King Magnus: A skypien
Queen Anna: An angelfish Mermaid
Prince Ferdinand
Town(s)/Village(s)/City or Cities: The main city is Sky Turtle city, a settlement that stretches across the shell of the great Sky Turtle. It is a large city and the Castle is in the middle overlooking the entire state. The parts of the island surrounding the castle are the rich parts of town, and get progressively poorer as you get closer to the borders. The only way to legally enter the island is to be eaten by the turtle, which brings you to a dock on the northern end of the shell.
Missions:
Mission #1/ Turtle Tummy Trouble : The Turtle of the island is being attacked by pirates, but there’s a catch.

Half of your crew will have to stay on the surface and take down the pirates attacking the city, while the others go and collect the treasure before the other pirates do.

Mission #3/ Takeoff of the Winged Turtle: The turtle has finished eating for half of the month and is getting ready to ascend into the sky. You and your crew have arrived just in time for the amazing spectacle of the Great Turtle Takeoff, a festival held at the middle of the month, during the beginning and end the turtle descends to feed, this is known as the Feast of the great turtle. For some reason however the turtle has not descended/risen. You must find out what the problem is and fix it before the festival ends!
Island History: About a 1000 years ago. The last of a giant turtle race was born. This turtle swam through the sea for half a month the rose to the sky and fly. Another 300 years passed and by this time it was a large turtle it was already inhabited by several Fishman colonies, surrounding a large castle. About a decade later the Fish men took on an army of Skypiens. They lost to the advanced technology of their dials, and had many Skypiens living amongst them. Soon a peace treaty was signed and they became one nation. After another century, it became law that there can’t be two of one race for the king and queen and they must be of different origin. After another 200 years the entire population was of mixed descent being of both Fishman and Skypien blood. The nation became a very prosperous place to live, giving varied sights, all different types of people, and a species native to the turtle itself. They began to use Dials just as frequently as the Skypiens and are now commonly used for everyday life. The Nation has been able to survive itself from war, because of the randomness of the turtles Ascending and Descending spots are. The country is however been visited by pirates on too many occasions recently and while the king and queen do not mind it, the prince has a huge problem with it and sends troops in to arrest them. It is currently a dangerous place for pirates. They are not allied with the marines so they are considered savages. The Turtle itself is very unique. The most amazing part is its ability to have a Magnetic field. This is accomplished do to the Magnetic Core that is at the base of the turtles spine. This core resonates a magnetic field just like any normal island allowing for log poses and eternal poses to track it. This core is abnormally larger than the rest of the spine.
