Hyokaido

Hyokaido is an anime-only area in Paradise with cold climate and filled with icebergs and glaciers. It is the territory of the Accino Family and the location where the Ice Hunter Arc takes place.
==Geography==
Hyokaido is a vast frigid region filled with mostly icebergs and glaciers that formed over hundreds of years. The geography is filled with various waterways for ships to pass through. However due to the unnatural movement of the icebergs, ships can easily become trapped. The icebergs that trap ships themselves are normal.
This seemingly conscious movement of icebergs however is caused by various Domo Penguins pushing the icebergs across the water from underneath. While most of Hyokaido is a barren ice land, deep within the area is a place apparently different from the rest of the land.
Hyokaido is also the main territory of the bounty-hunting Accino Family, who make their home at Lovely Land: a massive golden castle with its own tropical rainforest-like setting completely different from the rest of the frigid environment. The Accino Family would bring their captured pirates here and imprison them in the icy caverns beneath to freeze. When the Accino Family would later present their captives to the Marines, they would reportedly smile despite being handed off to face justice; giving the place its dubious reputation.
It can be inferred that due to Don Accino's Atsu Atsu no Mi powers, he creates the tropical area seen around Lovely Land.
==Animals==
===Domo Penguin===
The is a type of penguin that is native to Hyokaido. It generally resembles a blue Rockhopper Penguin with a Puffin like beak. Large groups of this penguin are able to move the various icebergs in Hyokaido from underneath. The Accino Family use these penguins' ability to move icebergs to trap their prey's ship between the various icebergs in Hyokaido.
The penguins themselves are very vicious. Large groups of them can cause trouble for anyone in their way. The Accino Family thus also use the penguins' vicious nature against their prey.
==Trivia==
*The name is probably a reference to the northern Japanese island Hokkaidō.
