Foosha

Foosha is a fictional coastal village in the One Piece manga and anime series created by Eiichiro Oda. It is located in the East Blue, one of the seas surrounding the world. The village is depicted as a small, close-knit settlement with a harbor used by local fishermen and visiting pirates.

Foosha is the childhood home of Monkey D. Luffy, who later becomes the series' protagonist. It also serves as a temporary residence for Shanks the Red Hair and his pirate crew during their stay in East Blue. The village hosts a bar and a few essential establishments; the local populace includes Genzo, the village elder and guardian figure who features in early arcs.

The most significant events in Foosha concern Luffy's early life. In the harbor, Shanks saves Luffy from a Sea King, loses his left arm in the process, and afterwards gives Luffy his straw hat. The hat becomes Luffy's signature item and symbol of his dream to become the Pirate King; Luffy vows to return the hat someday.

Foosha is primarily referenced in the series' early East Blue arc and is used to establish Luffy's origins and Shanks's influence on him. Beyond its role in backstory, Foosha is a relatively minor setting within the broader One Piece world.
