Sky / lower cloud sea (23,000 ft) · first appeared: Ch. 238
Profile
The lower of the sky “seas,” a cloud sea floating 23,000 ft above the Blue Sea (Ganfor’s geography lecture, p.3). The cloud sea the Going Merry sails on after the Knock Up Stream. Home of the “famous Lobster Express” (pp.16–17) and the sky-fish-riding “guerrillas.” Above it lies the upper stratum — the White-White Sea (33,000 ft) / Skypiea — reached via Heaven’s Gate.
Etymology
Descriptive. The lower of the two all-white cloud “seas” — literally a sea made of white cloud (the wiki indexes the underlying substance as 海雲 / Sea Clouds). Distinguished from the upper-stratum White-White Sea (白々海 Shirashira no Umi, “glaringly-white sea”). No encoded pun beyond the literal description; confidence high.
