Boin Archipelago.
An archipelago located in the first half of the Grand Line, composed of nine islands that looked like blooming flowers.
Though it was called an archipelago, it was actually nine carnivorous plants floating on the sea, scientifically known as "Barons of Stomach."
These plants were simply so enormous that they had formed islands.
Countless strange plants unique to the world of Pirate King grew across the Boin Archipelago. The plants on the islands could directly grow food, and those foods came in all varieties. Meat, noodles, and even desserts grew naturally, requiring no further preparation by a chef.
Moreover, compared to food from elsewhere, the "grown" food on these islands had one special trait: the energy it provided far exceeded that of ordinary food.
Simply put, one jin of meat here could provide as much energy as five jin of meat from outside. At the same time, these foods had another unusual effect. Those who ate them would not feel full; instead, the more they ate, the hungrier they became.
Even without learning Life Return, one could keep eating here without worrying about being unable to digest it all.
Of course, as one ate more food, gaining weight and becoming slower were unavoidable.
And when that time came, the "Barons of Stomach" would reveal their true fangs!
