History of Swallow Island

Thirteen years ago, the Donquixote Pirates were to use the island as a temporary base for their plan to take the Ope Ope no Mi from the pirates led by Diez Barrels. The Marine ships, commanded by Vice Admiral Tsuru, set up an ambush for the crew, who never made it to the island.

After escaping from the Donquixote Pirates, Trafalgar Law settled on this island while still grieving Rosinante’s death. He eventually met Bepo, Penguin and Shachi by defending the former from the latter two. Law earned the respect and admiration of Bepo and Shachi by defeating Penguin and Shachi. The three began following Law and at some point they came together to form the Heart Pirates.

Geography of Swallow Island

The island’s central mountain formation, which resembles a swallow and is covered in trees, is what makes it stand out. According to a map kept by Donquixote Rosinante, the island is similarly shaped like the aforementioned bird.
