Name of Island: Cactus Island
General Information: An island with several cactus-shaped mountains, with the "spikes" being tombstones. Once a sanctuary for deceitful hunters, it is now a place for mourning priests. The giant cacti mountains have swelled over the years, eventually bursting at points to create gushing waterfalls of greenwater; they have yet to stop flowing.

The priests arrived on the abandoned island during pilgrimage over 50 years ago to find the many graves and have since set about mourning for the dead. By some misunderstanding, they believe that two great armies clashed here with no survivors. They do wish visitors would be generous enough to mourn with them.
Shape of Island/Map: A large island, from a birds eye view its actually shaped like a cactus.
Weather: A very dry island despite not being particularly hot. It rarely rains.
Description: Cactithedral
Built to face those who are approaching from Reverse Mountain, the 'Cactithedral' is a huge building of mourning for the dead of the island. It is incomplete, the mourning priests preferring to do the work themselves but is themed to blend in with the mighty cacti mountains surrounding. There are many men now competing for the title of head mourner, after Violet murdered the previous one, leaving the island in political chaos.

Weeping Summit
The city surrounding the Cactithedral also sits next to the largest greenwater river of Cactus Island. Its populace is made up entirely of the mourning priests; men, woman and children devoted to paying their respects to the dead that litter the island. It is a very simplistic town made up of many square, white buildings; the people living a dull lifestyle of sleeping, washing, eating and mourning.

Whiskey Peak
A city that has not been renovated by the priests. It is feared that the remnants of a demon linger here and is left untouched by the pilgrims. Pirates often travel here to settle duels to the death, finding their blood lust is oddly heightened in such a location.

Dour Top
A small town oddly building on the peak of a cacti mountain amongst the crosses. The priests that inhabit this area are particularly devoted to mourning the dead, so much so that they live amongst the graves. This lifestyle seems to have driven them mad as they consider those who don't pay their respects as better off dead!

Velvet Tip
A sprawling city on the opposite side of the island to the pilgrims. The people here lived on Cactus Island long before the priests but have since been influenced by the holy people, often leaving their lifestyle to trek across the island to join them. The city does still maintain a lighter mood though, being a port for trading of goods and are very quick to pounce on tourists to buy their 'one of a kind self growing cacti pots' or 'life prolonging cacti greenwater'. Dubious salesman indeed. The people here are very wary of priests from Dour Top. The city has become a much more gloomy place, given the latest attack by Leander 'Heartless' Hastings, which left their city in ruins. The people are beginning to rebuild, although many of the buildings are still in ruins. Talk of the fearsome pirate still lingers in daily conversation as everyone works hard to recover.

Special Notes: The priests will certainly be more open to visitors who pay their respects for the dead, doing the opposite may even attract the intentions of Dour Top priests if players are not careful. Having traveled through the Grand Line before settling on Cactus Island, the priests actually have many tips for those wishing to do the same. Violet Kane and Leander Hastings are the most hated people on this Island and there are annual festivals where straw men painted to look like them are burned down.

No Pirates, Marines or Bounty Hunters actually stay on the island too long for fear of being consumed by the mourning lifestyle.
