Concept and history

The park was themed as Tongari Island (トンガリ島) in the New World; after the Straw Hat Crew landed there, they created games and attractions for their fans with the islanders. The island's leader is Tongari Den Den Mushi who frequently appeared as the guide in some attractions and the website. Tongari (トンガリ) means "pointed" or "sharp" in Japanese and it refers to the shape of Tokyo Tower.
