And for the uninitiated, it appears that Indonesia is also included in the "inspiration list" Odacchi it. Nahh, as implied in the title, here I will give some part of the One Piece taken from the homeland, Indonesia.

1. Kaya ( Rich )
 

City of Syrup in the story, which tells the story Usopp merger, there was a girl child of a nobleman named "Kaya". kaya, as well as we know in Indonesian means "a lot of money", and in One Piece, Kaya is also depicted as a noble child who has a lot of money, as evidenced when Rich and Merry presented a pirate ship named the Straw Hats Going Merry is then regarded as one of the crew by the Straw Hat Pirates.

 4. Southbird and Bird Tingang



Tingang or family of birds hornbills (Bucerotidae / Hornbill) is known by the indigenous Dayak tribes of Borneo, especially as the bird that has the elegance and beauty.

5. Jaya - Irian Jaya
 
Jaya, the island with the shape of the skull is not such thing as too similar to Irian Jaya? Irian Jaya is on the island of Papua province, Indonesia with a shape like a bird. Oda Could it be from the idea of ​​a story inspired skull-shaped island is split in two? Never forget that the island is now divided into two Irian, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.


In Big Indonesian Dictionary, Jaya means "always succeed; success; great". This is implied by the perfect in One Piece where Jaya island said to be the island that has a city of gold. In the story flasback Skypiea Arc, Norland Lyneel told the King about a 'mountain' Gold found on the island of Jaya. Upon their return there was gold had disappeared.


Whether coincidence or not, in the history of Indonesia Irian Jaya has precisely the Mount of gold as the world's Largest Gold Mine, Mount Ersberg. The mountain is abundant gold, even before the gold can be found on the surface of the soil without digging. In its history (until now) is controlled by the Freeport mine from the United States.
