God's Guards

**God's Guards**, formerly known as the **White Berets** (ホワイトベレー, *Howaito Berē*?) is a police force in Skypiea whose captain was McKinley. It is now led by Wyper.

## Appearance

As the White Berets, they wear a characteristic uniform that consists of light-purple T-shirts, blue with white cloud-shaped spots wide trousers, Jet Ski and white berets with letters "WB" on them. They are armed with two-bladed knives and bows shooting Milky Arrows.

## Personalities

They are the most lenient, gentle and understanding out of all the guardians in Skypiea. White Berets act strangely sometimes: they crawl without a reason, and saying the traditional Skypiean "Heso" they make hand gestures in a characteristic way.

## Abilities and Powers

They act under direct orders from the Skypiea's Priests. They have no real superhuman skills like the priests of the Upper Yard. White Berets perform their duties of tracking down criminals and labeling them with "degrees" of their being criminals, so as to establish a universal punishment.

Milky Arrows are weapons used by the White Berets. The arrows create spirals in the air made of cloud on which the White Berets can skate in order to confuse and capture the enemy. They also dole out punishment depending on the crime committed.

### Heaven's Judgment

Each type of crime belonged to a certain class. These have been abolished since Enel's defeat and the banishment of his four priests. The known crimes and penalties for them are shown below:

## History

### Past

The White Berets were all originally members of the Divine Squad in service to Gan Fall. Appearing to betray the Squad, they pledged allegiance to Enel.

### Sky Island Saga

#### Skypiea Arc

The White Berets sought out the Straw Hat Pirates for entering Skypiea illegally. When the Blue Sea pirates refused to pay the fine, the White Berets attempted to arrest them but were all defeated by Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, and Sanji. Captain McKinley then warned that God and his priests would deal with the pirates. They believed that by remaining on the island and trying to prevent anyone from incurring God's anger, they could protect the citizens.

When they learned that Enel planned to destroy all of Skypiea, they turned against him and helped the people from Angel Island get to safety.

### Fish-Man Island Saga

#### From the Decks of the World

Two years later, the group's name was changed to God's Guards, and Wyper, Genbo, Kamakiri, and Braham have joined the ranks.

## Trivia

* The name "White Berets" is most likely a pun on the "Green Berets", a hat worn by special forces units in Australia, the United Kingdom, France, and the United States.
