One Piece Map Explained | Easy Guide To The Last Island (2023)

Last updated on October 11th, 2023 at 05:11 pm

One of the many reasons One Piece is so beloved is its brilliant worldbuilding. The world of One Piece is vast and ever expanding. There are countless locations with unique geography, culture and importance.

From an island of giants to an island in the sky, there are every sort of amazing place in the series. But many people may find this fantastic world a little confusing, so we will be discussing the One Piece map in this article.

In this post, we’ll be talking about the basic map of One Piece to give our readers an idea about where certain locations are, and how the Straw Hat Pirates proceed in their journey. The complete geographical map of One Piece is vast, with countless islands in the grand blueness of the seas. And a discussion about them will be very exciting, if a little time-consuming. 

But before we take that endeavor, we must understand the base of all this, and the primary map of One Piece. Here, we’ll also discuss the legendary last island of the Grand Line : Laugh Tale where the One Piece is and our heroes are heading towards. So, without further ado, let’s begin our discussion on the One Piece map.

One Piece Map Explained

The unique part of the One Piece map is that the majority of it is based on the seas. There is only one mainland in this world, and the rest of the lands are the islands spread sparsely throughout the seas. The reason the geography of One Piece is such is because our heroes are pirates, and thus their journey must be through the waters. 

Luffy and his crew have been to numerous islands, having grand adventures everywhere they go. 

In the world of One Piece, there is a continuous stretch of land that spreads vertically from north to south. This stretch of land is called the Red Line, and it’s the only mainland in the whole world. Cutting the Red Line perpendicularly by spreading from west to east is a stretch of oceanic route known as the Grand Line. 

The intersection of the Red Line and the Grand Line divides the waterbody into four separate seas, known as East Blue, West Blue, North Blue and South Blue .

Every sea is divided from each other by either the Red Line or the Grand Line. However, despite appearing connected by their close proximity, every sea is actually disconnected to the Grand Line.

There are two stretches of the sea that run parallelly to the Grand Line on both sides. These two stretches of water, known as the Calm Belts , don’t have the strong wind needed to sail, making the ships which have stumbled there stuck in that region.

Not only do the Calm Belts not have any strong wind, but these are also filled with huge Sea Kings who destroy any ship stuck there. Under one of the Calm Belts is the strongest prison of the World Government, the underwater prison Impel Down.

Now if we study the visual map of One Piece, we’d notice that the Grand Line is disconnected in the middle because of the Red Line.

The part of the Grand Line that stretches from the Reverse Mountain in the east to the Red Line is known as Paradise whereas the other part is called the New World . Paradise and New World are connected to each other by the Fishman Island that lies deep within the sea, just under the Red Line.

Now that we’ve a clear idea about the One Piece map, we’ll dive deep into each part respectively, starting with the Red Line:

The Red Line is the huge continental stretch that runs from north to south, wraps around the world, and divides into two halves. It is the only mainland in the whole world of One Piece, and contains some of the most important locations. The name of this land comes from the red stones and soil it is made of.

Despite being the biggest land in the world, the inhabitants of the Red Line are sparse. But it contains the most revered place in the world of One Piece, where the gods are said to live. This is why the Red Line is also called the Land of Gods .

Some of the important locations on the Red Line are:

• Marygeoise: This is where the Celestial Dragons live, and the Pangea Castle and the Empty Throne is at.
• Reverse Mountain: The mountain situated at the location where the Red Line and the Grand Line intersect. The current that runs through the mountain is in the opposite direction, meaning it runs from down to up. This is one of the only ways to get into the Grand Line.
• Red Port: It is the only legal way to cross the Red Line.
• Fishman Island: This underwater island is deep within the sea, located under the Red Line. Fishman Island is where the fish-men and the mermaids live. It is the only way to get to the New World from Paradise. Currently, it is under the protection of Luffy.

I. East Blue

East Blue is entirely made of water, with many islands of different sizes spread throughout. This is also where the story of One Piece starts, and the Romance Dawn Saga is situated at. Some of the Straw Hats, including Luffy , Zoro , Nami and Usopp are from the East Blue.

Some of the important locations of East Blue are:

• Foosha Village: Situated in the Goa Kingdom of Dawn Island , and the home of Luffy.
• Shells Town: This is where Luffy and Koby finds Zoro, falls under Yotsuba Island Region .
• Shimotsuki Village: The home of Zoro where some members of the Shimotsuki family settled after leaving Wano and rescuing some villagers from bandits.
• Orange Town: Situated in the Organ Islands archipelago where the Straw Hats fight Buggy Pirates for the first time.
• Syrup Village: A village is Gecko Islands and the home of Usopp.
• Baratie: A popular restaurant ship where Sanji grew up in and used to work.
• Cocoyasi Village: Located in the Conomi Islands archipelago, this is the home of Nami where the Arlong Pirates set their base at.
• Loguetown: A famous trade town near the Grand Line, known for being the place where Gol D. Roger was born and executed at.

II. West Blue

Like East Blue, West Blue is also a big sea created by the intersection of the Red Line and the Grand Line. The West Blue is at the south-western part of the world, and is located between the North Blue and the South Blue, separated from them by the Grand Line and the Red Line respectively.

The Straw Hat Pirates never venture into the West Blue in their journey, but it is the home of Robin and Brook. Some very important figures in the story also hail from West Blue, like one of the Yonko: Shanks , the former Shichibukai: Gecko Moria , one of the Supernovas and Big Mom’s son-in-law: Capone Bege , and a Revolutionary Army member: Morley .

Some of the important locations in West Blue are:

• Ohara: This was an island of scholars and archaeologists, and the home of Robin . The entire island was destroyed by the World Government with the Buster Call as the scholars of Ohara were the only people who could read Poneglyphs , and get to the truth of the Void Century , leaving Robin as the sole survivor.
• Thriller Bark: This used to be an island in West Blue, but Moria transformed the whole island into a ship, and sailed towards the Grand Line where the Straw Hats stumble upon it. Currently the ship is in the New World.

III. North Blue

Another sea of the One Piece world is the North Blue , falling between the East Blue and the West Blue, and disconnected from them by the Red Line and the Grand Line respectively. Since the Straw Hats start in the East Blue before sailing into the Grand Line, the other three seas, including the North Blue, aren’t explored to the same extent.

However, North Blue is the real home of Sanji as well as Trafalgar Law , and has some key figures of the story originating from there. Some of these characters who come from the North Blue are the Vinsmoke family , Marine Fleet Admiral Sakazuki , Admiral Kizaru , members of the Worst Generation: X Drake and Basil Hawkins , and the popular explorer Mont Blanc Noland .

Some of the important locations in North Blue are:

Germa Kingdom: The Germa Kingdom is an ancient empire of great heritage, known for spreading throughout the entire North Blue and their superior technology. Currently, the kingdom is in the shape of a maritime island capable of sailing through the seas, and ruled by the Vinsmoke family. This is also the real home of Sanji.

Flevance: It was the home of Law before being destroyed by the neighboring countries in fear of the Amber Lead Syndrome epidemic.

IV. South Blue

The last of the four seas of One Piece is the South Blue . It is located between the East Blue and the West Blue, and is detached from them by the Grand Line and the Red Line respectively. This sea is known for being the home of many strange and exotic fauna, including gigantic birds, fish, worms and sharks.

A lot of important figures in One Piece originate from the South Blue. Portgas D. Rogue gave birth to Ace in the Baterilla island of South Blue. Some others who come from the South Blue are: former Marine Fleet Admiral Sengoku , former Admiral Kuzan , Bartholomew Kuma and his daughter Jewelry Bonney , Eustass Kid and Killer , and Jaguar D. Saul who saved the life of Robin.

Some of the important locations in South Blue are:

• Torino Kingdom: Chopper is sent to this island by Kuma, where he trains for two years before joining his crew.
• Baterilla: The birthplace of Ace.

Grand Line: Paradise

Aside from the Romance Dawn Saga, the story before the timeskip is based on the Grand Line . It is a stretch of sea that encircles the world horizontally, and intersects the Red Line in the middle. The part of the Grand Line on the east side of the Red Line is called Paradise , and this is where every pirate crew starts their journey into the Grand Line.

Everything about this sea route is different from the other seas, from the weather to the way compasses work. It is a dangerous place and very difficult to survive. The currents are erratic and unpredictable, and the weather varies in different islands in extremes. Even entering the Grand Line is a pretty tough task, and only possible through the Reverse Mountains. 

Some of the important locations of the Grand Line are:

• Whisky Peak: Whisky Peak is a city of bounty hunters located in the Cactus Island . The Straw Hat Pirates start their journey on the Grand Line through this city.
• Little Garden: It is an island that has maintained a prehistoric flora and fauna because of the weather. The only human inhabitants on this island are the two giants, Dorry and Brogy .
• Drum Island: This island has wintry weather, and is also known as the Winter Island. It is the home of Chopper and where he meets the Straw Hats.
• Alabasta: Known as the Desert Island , Alabasta is the home of Vivi . The Straw Hats accompany her to this island to stop the civil war and defeat Crocodile.
• Jaya: This island has pleasant spring weather, and is the place the Straw Hats visit before they journey to Skypiea.
• Skypiea: An island in the White Sea which is located directly above Paradise in the sky.
• Long Ring Long Land: The inhabitants of this island are huge in length, a certain part of their bodies elongated much longer than ordinary.
• Water 7: The beautiful Water 7 is known for its entirely water-dependent transport system and its brilliant shipwrights. The Straw Hats meet Franky at this island.
• Enies Lobby: Enies Lobby is a stronghold of the World Government , and one of the three major judicial facilities of them. There is a gate in Enies Lobby that connects to both Impel Down and Marineford .
• Sabaody Archipelago: The final island of Paradise is Sabaody Archipelago. The Straw Hats meet Rayleigh there, and are also separated from each other by Kuma.

Grand Line: New World

The New World is the second part of the Grand Line that encircles the west side of the world. It is located between the North Blue and the West Blue. This part is more dangerous than Paradise because very few crews survive getting into this part without being destroyed by an enemy crew.

It is also where the big figures of piracy i.e., the four Yonko rule. Every Yonko has their own territories in the New World. However, no one has been able to completely explore the New World in 800 years, with the exception of Roger and his crew. The New World is where the fabled Laugh Tale is rumored to be.

Some of the important locations in the New World are:

• Punk Hazard: This is an island where Akainu and Aokiji fight for the position of Fleet Admiral. Their intense battle changes the weather of the island forever, with one side frozen and snowing and the other filled with lava. It is also where Caesar Clown has his science lab.
• Dressrosa: A beautiful island where humans and toys cohabit. It is under the control of the Shichibukai, Doflamingo.
• Tontatta Kingdom: This is an underground kingdom located under the Green Bit Island north of Dressrosa. The inhabitants of this kingdom are tiny dwarves.
• Zou: Zou is the kingdom of Minks , located on the back of the ancient elephant Zunesha .
• Totto Land: It is the entire territory of the Yonko, Big Mom and her crew of her numerous children. There are a lot of islands within Totto Land, the most prominent being the Whole Cake Island where Big Mom herself resides.
• Hachinosu : It is an island of criminals and anti-socials, and the island Blackbeard and his crew are currently occupying. Blackbeard wants to make it his official territory outside the jurisdiction of the World Government.
• Wano: Wano is an island in the New World that has been secluded from the world for hundreds of years. This is currently the territory of the Yonko, Kaido , who betrayed and killed the rightful ruler, Kozuki Oden .
• Egghead Island: This island holds the entire laboratory of the genius scientist, Dr. Vegapunk and his Satellites . It is a futuristic island full of new and brilliant technologies.
• Elbaf: This is the legendary island of giants.
• New Marineford: The current Marine Headquarters, led by Fleet Admiral Sakazuki.

The last island in the Grand Line is Laugh Tale . The only known people who went to this mysterious island were the Roger Pirates . After them, nobody found this island. On his execution platform, Roger announced to the world that this is where his treasure, the One Piece, is. 

Though Laugh Tale is located in the New World, the actual location of this island is a complete mystery. The location of this island can only be found by the four Road Poneglyphs . Each Road Poneglyph reveals a location, and the point where the routes of the four locations intersect is where Laugh Tale is at.

There is something on the island that caused Roger and his crew to burst into laughter, leading to its name. The contents of this island are entirely unknown, and this is the final location for the Straw Hats and other pirates.

That was the One Piece map explained briefly. The world of One Piece is so grand and elaborate that it’d take ages to cover them all. But these are locations that we need to know to have a basic idea about the world where our favorite pirates dwell in.

If you’re a fan of One Piece, keep reading Otakus’ Notes because we’ve got a lot for you. Stay tuned, until next time.

The World Map of One Piece

With over 800 chapters and each arc in a different part of the world, it is safe to assume that the world of One Piece is huge. It may be hard to imagine what the world looks like just by reading or watching the series alone. Let's take a look at the paths our rowdy crew have walked.

The Blue Sea

The seas of the entire world of one piece include the four divisions of oceans and the grand line..

The Grand Line is a current of sea that encompasses the entire world of One Piece. This is the destination of most pirates in One Piece, as it promises unimaginable treasures.

Paradise is the first half of the Grand Line. It is named as such because it is considered a paradise when compared to the second half of the Grand Line. It is located between the East Blue and South Blue. It stretches from the Twin Cape of Reverse Mountain up to Fishman Island. Past here, pirates will find themselves in the New World.

Islands/locations within Paradise visited by the Straw Hat Crew: • Reverse Mountain • Cactus Island • Little Garden • Drum Island • Alabasta • Jaya • Skypiea • Long Ring Long Land • Water 7 • Enies Lobby • Thriller Bark • Sabaody Archipelago • Fishman Island

New World is the second half of the Grand Line. The Yonko four strongest pirates unofficially rule this half. It encompasses the stretch of the Grand Line from Mariejois to the other side of the Reverse Mountain. The island Raftel, where Gol D. Roger is rumored to have buried One Piece, is located here.

Islands/locations within New World visited by the Strawhat Crew: • Punk Hazard • Dressrosa • Green Bit • Zou

The two calm belts are two stretches of sea located above and below the Grand Line. Crossing the calm belts to get to Grand Line or other Blues is almost impossible as there are no currents nor winds here, hence the name Calm Belt. Sea Kings also reside here which will attack ships on sight. The Marines have a strategy which enables them to sail through the Calm Belts safely. They line the bottom of their ships with Seastone (the same substance that drains the energy of Devil Fruit users) which prevents Sea Kings from noticing their presence.

The Red Line is the only continent in the world of One Piece. It runs across the entire world, perpendicular to the Grand Line. It is theoretically impossible to get to the other side without passing through the waterways in the Reverse Mountain, through Mariejois, or through Fishman Island. Mariejois, the capital of the world, is the headquarters of the World Government. Only with their permission will ships be allowed to pass through this route.

Warning: This post contains SPOILERS for One Piece

It’s no secret that a majority of One Piece takes place at sea, onboard various ships, and the surrounding islands, and the Netflix live-action has given the nautical source material a new lease of life with its charismatic cast and vibrant sets.

RELATED: One Piece Live Action: Types of Devil Fruits, Explained

The protagonist, Luffy, has one mission: to become the King of the Pirates by finding Gol. D Roger’s titular treasure is in the Grand Line, but the young pirate must navigate the world in play first. Here’s everything you need to know about the Grand Line and the One Piece map.

One Piece Recap: Acquiring The Grand Line Map

Episode 1 of the Netflix show, Romance Dawn , saw Luffy (Iñaki Godoy) and Koby (Morgan Davies) travel to Shells Town, the 153rd Branch Marine base, in order to locate the Grand Line map . Obtaining the atlas was crucial in helping Luffy and his crew navigate the Blue Sea in order to locate Gol. D Roger’s treasure —a prize that would dub Luffy the greatest pirate in the world.

After encountering Nami (Emily Rudd) and Zoro (Mackenyu) in a local tavern, Luffy joins forces with Nami , who is also on the hunt for the Grand Line map. In order to infiltrate the Marine’s base, they work together, and Nami manages to sneak her way into the map room dressed like a Marine with Luffy as her pretend prisoner , fooling even Axe-Hand Morgan (Langley Kirkwood). Upon entering Morgan’s office, the pair find the safe containing the Grand Line map, but Morgan finds them before they can crack the code. In order for their efforts not to be in vain, Luffy heaves the safe up out of the ground, and the force behind pulling such a weight sends them both flying out the window. Teaming up with Zoro in the courtyard, the trio manages to best the Marines and escape with the Grand Line map .

After obtaining the safe, Nami tries to crack the code back on the boat and is successful, but their victory is short-lived when Buggy’s (Jeff Ward) henchmen show up with smoke bombs that render them unconscious. Luffy, thankfully, manages to swallow the map for safekeeping . After surviving Buggy’s imprisonment at the circus, the Straw Hats get back to recruiting, picking up Usopp (Jacob Romero) in Syrup Village and Sanji ((Taz Skylar) from Baratie. All appears to be going well until episode 6, The Chef and the Chore Boy , when Nami steals the Grand Line map, revealing herself to be a part of Arlong’s (McKinley Belcher III) crew all along. Luckily, it was all a ruse on Nami’s part to buy back her home, Coco Village, from Arlong , and after defeating the pirate leader and the fishmen, Luffy wins back the Grand Line map .

Grand Line & Map Explained

The world of One Piece exists on a currently unnamed planet that’s similar to Earth, but the surface is mostly dominated by water. A large mass of saltwater known as the Blue Sea is the prominent expanse that’s divided into four sections on the map: the East Blue, the West Blue, the North Blue, and the South Blue . Breaking the sea into these four sections are two naturally formed barriers that cross over one another: the Grand Line and the Red Line .

The East Blue was the setting of the first six arcs in the source material, made up predominantly of water with a number of islands dotted in the expanse crossing with the Red Line. Known as the weakest out of the four seas, the “Sea of Schemes,” as it’s referred to, is the easiest area to conquer, the birthplace of Gol D. Roger, and home to locations such as Baratie, the Gecko Islands, and Loguetown.

The West Blue shares the same island/ocean ratio as the East Blue and also shares a border with the Red Line. Home to the Five Families of the West—a group of mafia organizations—the West Blue birthed famous names such as Nico Robin, Red-Haired Shanks, and the Rumbar Pirates and houses locations such as Ilisia Kingdom and Thriller Bark.

The North Blue shares the same divide as its sisters and is the birthplace of Straw Hat cook Sanji, as well as the Bellamy Pirates and the Caribou Pirates. Famous locations in the North Blue include Spider Miles, Germa Kingdom, and Flevance, and it became the backdrop for the tale of Lvneel explorer Mont Blanc Noland.

Lastly, the South Blue also borders the Red Line with a flurry of islands and contains many forms of eye-catching wildlife, including Blue-Finned Elephant Tunas, Super Worms, and Gryphons. This area is home to Straw Hat Franky and three members of The Worst Generation—a group of 12 infamous pirates—Eustass Kid, Killer, and Jewelry Bonney.

Moving on to the Grand Line, which is a narrow strip of water in the ocean surrounded by the Calm Belt , which harbors changing climates and dangerous wildlife. This sea route stretches around the entire world and is notorious for being treacherous, as compasses are normally useless here . The Grand Line is said to be home to Gol. D. Roger’s One Piece treasure , which is why every pirate wants the map to go here. The strip is divided into two halves by the Red Line, one known as Paradise and the other titled New World . Paradise is challenging to navigate, but New World is infamous for being more dangerous and run by the Four Emperors.

Additionally, the Red Line is considered to be the one continent that exists in One Piece’s world , which also stretches around the entire expanse from north to south. Separating the oceans, the Red Line acts as the starting point for pirates wishing to journey to the Grand Line, as it is the only entrance into this famed stretch .

One Piece Fan's 6-Month Lego Build of Marineford Battle Goes Viral After New Store Sighting

Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece has sat atop the world of anime and manga for the better part of two decades, finding success across the globe. One of the most fascinating aspects of the series is its worldbuilding, which rivals the likes of J.R.R. Tolkien and George R.R. Martin.

Not only is Oda’s creation packed with various islands filled with fantastical elements, but it is supported by thousands of years of history, jammed with intrigue. Let’s take a look at what makes the world of One Piece  and its map such a marvel of worldbuilding, including some of its key history, mysteries and places.

The History of the One Piece World

One of the tenets of making a fantastical world feel real is giving it history. This provides a sense that the world the characters exist in has not been built around them but is instead a place that exists outside of the narrative. One Piece is no exception to this rule. With that in mind, here is a brief list of some of the most notable events in the series' past history.

The Tree of Knowledge Is Planted

The oldest known event in One Piece  history occurred 5,000 years ago when the ancient people of Ohara planted the Tree of Knowledge. This tree was the base of operations for archeologists worldwide as they attempted to discover the secrets of the Void Century. The Tree of Knowledge is where Straw Hat Nico Robin learned to read Poneglyphs. It was later burned to the ground 22 years before the current point in the story, in what would be known as the Ohara Incident .

Shandora Is Built

The Shandians built the City of Gold 1100 years before the current timeline. Originally located on the island of Jaya, the city was later blasted to the island of Skypiea by the Knock-up Stream.

RELATED: One Piece: A New Devil Fruit Form Could Hint at [SPOILER]'s Future in Wano

The Void Century

The Void Century began 900 years before the current  One Piece timeline and as the name implies, ended 800 years ago. Its name derives from there being no record of its events, and it is forbidden by the World Government to attempt to uncover its secrets. (More on this later.)

Construction of The Tequila Wolf Bridge Begins

700 years before the current story, the Tequila Wolf Bridge begins construction. This task is still underway in the present day and is carried out entirely through slave labor. Following the events of the Sabaody Archipelago arc, Nico Robin was sent here by Bartholomew Kuma and forced into slavery. However, she and the rest of the slaves were liberated by the Revolutionary army. It has yet to be revealed if the bridge remains under construction.

Mont Blanc Noland Begins His Journey

Famously known as Noland the Liar, Noland was a famous adventurer who traversed the Grand Line on several occasions. The Tontatta Tribe hails him a savior for defending their lands from ‘bad humans.’ However, after returning to his home, the Kingdom of Lvneel, he boasted about visiting the City of Gold on Jaya, only to arrive back on the island, accompanied by his King, with the City of Gold having disappeared. The disappearance of Shandora led to him being labeled a liar, and he was promptly executed for this transgression.

The God Valley Incident

Jumping forward in the timeline, the God Valley Incident occurred 38 years before the current point in the story. This event took place on the island aptly named God Valley, in which the Roger Pirates joined forces with the Marines, led by Monkey D. Garp, to defeat the Rocks Pirates. This crew was led by Rocks D. Xebec, a mysterious figure not yet who has not yet been fully explored, and its members included three future Yonko, Whitebeard, Big Mom and Kaido.

The Roger Pirates Arrive on Laugh Tale

Only 25 years before the current point in the story, the Roger Pirates completed their final journey, arriving on the legendary island of Laugh Tale. Here, according to Silvers Rayleigh, they learned the true history of the world. Following their discovery of the mythical island, Gol D. Roger turned himself in to the marines due to having developed a terminal illness. A year after landing on Laugh Tale, it was at his execution that he incited the Great Age of Pirates after announcing the existence of the One Piece.

The Mysteries of the One Piece World

As well as the Void Century, the core mystery of what the titular "One Piece" is and how archvillain Blackbeard has been able to amass so much Devil Fruit power,  One Piece 's world   is filled to bursting with unanswered questions relating to its history and geography. Let's go through just a few of the series' most intriguing elements.

For much of the series, it was believed that the World Government was led by the Gorosei, also known as the Five Elder Stars. However, during the Reverie/Levely arc, it was revealed that the Gorosei serve an individual known only as Im. This shadowy figure sits upon the Empty Throne, a seat said to be vacant in order to maintain peace and order.

What Is the True History of the World?

The events of the Void Century have intrigued fans of the series since it was first introduced. During this century, it is believed that a Great Kingdom ruled much of the world but was overthrown during a war fought between a group of 20 separate kingdoms, the rulers of which would go on to form the World Government.

During this time, the Ancient Weapons were created. The Void Century is also said to have ties to the 'Will of D' and the Land of Wano . The only records of this time are recorded on the Poneglyphs, written in a language that only one living person can read, the aforementioned Nico Robin. While the Roger Pirates were able to uncover this truth, even former crewmate Silvers Rayleigh appears reluctant to speak about what they found.

Key Locations In the World of One Piece

One Piece 's map spans vast areas of water and numerous islands, big and small -- perfect to situate a pirate-based epic and its cast of seafaring heroes and villains. Here's how that world is divided and some of its most notable locations.

The One Piece world is divided into four large oceans, known as the Blues: North Blue, East Blue, South Blue and West Blue. As the Grand Line and Red Line separate these oceans, travel between each is an arduous task.

The Red Line

The Red Line is a large continent that wraps around the entire world, perpendicular to the Grand Line. It stretches 10,000 meters below the ocean and extends above the clouds. On top of the Red Line, the Capital of the World is located, Mary Geoise. Mary Geoise is the home of the World Nobles, elevated from the rest of the world.

The Grand Line

The Grand Line  is a stretch of ocean that wraps around the equator and is the primary setting for the majority of One Piece . The Grand Line is separated into two sections: Paradise, the first half and setting of the pre-time skip events of the story, and the New World, where the story’s current events are unfolding. Traversing the Grand Line is the ultimate goal of many pirates and is full of wonderous islands and unexpected weather phenomena.

Laugh Tale is the final island on the Grand Line and is not locatable via a Log Pose. To find Laugh Tale, one must locate and translate the four Red Poneglyphs, also known as Road Poneglyphs. On Laugh Tale, the secrets of the world’s ‘True History,’ along with the One Piece, are said to be located. Reaching this mythic place is the dream of Straw Hat Captain Monkey D. Luffy -- among others --, and doing so will not only reveal the treasure's secrets but also crown him King of the Pirates. Fans have been waiting over 20 years to see Luffy's achieve this dream, and they've still got a few more, at least, to go.

the last islands are completely wrong… first, elbaf “island” is a piece of the redline barely disconnected from it, laughtale is not the last island, it is the lodestar island, thats stated by gol d roger when he reach it and he said that there’s another island before but in a unidentified place…

What are you waffling about

vodka kingdom?

Isn’t Germa Kingdom in the North Blue? Sanji comes from the North Blue, not the New World

north blue is part of the new world….

Germa is a mobile nation. Just like Thriler Bark, they can travel across the sea

I have a question. Why is Port Chibaralta and Sphinx Island that much forward. Logically and for story consistency, it is better for them to be before Wano on the map. Can you look into it?

I just started one piece isn’t Goat island inside the Grand Line after Albasta (Sand Island). After the Fireworks town Island

That is filler. It doesn’t exist in the manga.

zou has reached g 14

I just wanted to clarify a few things about the longitudinal and latitudinal position of Wano in Paradise.

Travelling east MUST be done parallel to a latitudinal line, meaning this isn’t a straight line, and instead a curved one. As mentioned in Chapter 1056, the three crews go north east, east and south east, with the north easterly direction being parallel to the calm belt. This contradicts the position you have placed Wano in this scenario, because the layout depicted in the Manga would only be possible in the first third of Paradise. The position of Wano on your map is in the middle of Paradise, and due to that the longitude and latitude lines are curved and changed, meaning EAST is the one that is parallel with the calm belt, as opposed to NORTH EAST.

I understand that sort of a change is going to cram a LOT of islands into the first third of the map, but I do want to make this as accurate as possible.

Cheers, Sam

hey! new fan here, a minor starting island was also missed – Treasure Island (with the little treasure chest guy and the remixed animals, that appeared in a single episode), right after Syrup Village

No it wasn’t, it’s called “Island of Rare Animals” and there it is in the East Blue

Hey, love the updates to the map!

Are you ever going to add the 6 moons to the map as well? In chapter 392, the people of Ohara have a globe of the world (RIP) and orbiting are six Vegapunks…. err, moons. Will that ever be included?

Keep it up!

I think this arent six moons I think the other „moons“ are other planets and because they are far away and look like the size of the moon the fought they are moons.

Hi! Lulusia Kingdom has been corrected in the manga to be in the Paradaise. Close to Momoiro Island

I’ll try to update the globe soon, thanks a lot!

Just a little reminder: Lulusia and G-2 still need to be moved 🙂

True! I’ve been short on time, and also a little lazy! I’ll try next week to make the necessary updates!

The location for Elbaf is clearly wrong, as we know for a fact that Winner island goes the furthest towards the end of the Grand Line. Also, keep in mind that Shanks (coming from the Reverie) gave a lift to Marco for Sphynx, then went wherever by the time Kidd arrived, so I’d say placing it on the other side of the New World is kind of a big stretch

I’ll take a look, thanks for the suggestion!

Hi, I believe your Orientation on Wano’s position is wrong, mainly that the “long” part of wano (the side without Onigashima) is parallel to the Calm belt.

From 1056, we are given a map of Wano showing that it is relatively close to the calm belt, as well as giving its Compass bearings.

However, where I disagree with your placement is if you take the map from Chapter 934 and overlay the map of Onigashima from Chapter 981 (the one with compass bearings), you would get a map that agrees with 1056 ONLY if wano’s long side is parallel to the calm belt.

Let me know if my analysis of the maps is wrong.

why is thriller bark so close to elbaf, it doesnt was in the florian triangle?

No, it moved (through unknown methods) to Pirate Island. As Gecko moria went there

Thanks for the detailed comment, I’ll take a look!

Why not show where each straw hat went for 2 years after Kuma?

Where is the G8 patrol base between Skypia and the long ring long land?

I did not include non-canon islands!

Hey could you please make a Legend to the map? Also I’d appreciate it if you could link the islands to their proper wiki entrys. Im planning to present your project in my University! Its amazing keep up the great work.

Good luck with the presentation!

I added a very simple Legend on the page, hope it helps!

As for the links to the Wiki, I won’t be able to do it at this point, as it’s something that takes more time! But you can guide yourself through this page, I think it has all the locations: https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_Locations

And good luck for the presentation, I hope you’re enjoying your university adventure!

Zou and Germa kingdom can’t really be put on a map lol

And thriller bark

I think it would be cool to have colour coded lines showing where each straw hat was sent to by Kuma

actually green bit is on NORTH WEST of derssorsa, as we saw in episode 630 the map that Heart Pirates made for law https://i.pinimg.com/originals/82/e0/a6/82e0a6486b0ba933da4b2ca1286973b0.jpg

why on this map they have not been to thriller bark

because trhillerbark is not an island

whats crazy is that they actually did put Thriller Bark on the map but its in the new world in between hachinosu island & sphinx island. Idk why its there, unless they got spoilers from ODA, its very very wrong.

No it’s correct. After the battle with the Straw Hats, the Thriller Bark floated abandoned for a while, then was reclaimed by Gecko Moria who repaired it and then used it to travel to Hachinosu and raid it in search of Blackbeard during the Wano arc.

The map is wrong, look proofs https://myanimelist.net/featured/805/The_World_Map_of_One_Piece

That map is also fan made. Oda did not draw it, so there is no proof that it is more or less true than this one. It’s also very old and has way less on it than this map.

Lulusia Kingdom is stated to be on the New World on chapter 1060

Updated! Thanks!

Hi! You should add Egghead – The Island of the Future and Marine Base G-14 to the map after chapter 1061! Thank You!

This is by far the best One Piece Map you can find out there. I’m really interested to see, where Egghead Island is about to be. It seems like this is the only island missing tho. Thank you very much for your service <3

Thank you <3

I think there might be a mistake. I’ve never heard of the lelusia kingdom

I agree. Must be some revolutionnary propaganda.

Yes, I thought lulusia “never existed”

Love the map!! In Ch 1056 it confirmed the North Pole to be located in the north Blue with the compass shown on the map of the new world. Is it possible to rotate the axis of the globe to have north blue as north, etc.?

Done! Thank you!

Hey ! I love this map, you nailed it! However, this updated north pole kinda messes up the navigation on the 3d globe, since it appears the software takes the former as the point of reference when you drag your mouse over it… It makes for some really awkward angles when trying to read the names… Do you know of a way to fix it?

Hi Robert! Accordingly the manga chapter 1056 there are 3 islands on North, East and South of Wano. I have made some research and the islands seems to be Sphinx, Hachinosu and Elbaf but in your map Wano is very far from Elbaf. I think maybe Sphinx island should be in the current location of Yukyriu and Elbaf should be in the current location of Sphinx Island.

Thank you Edu! You’re right, that’s probably how the islands are positioned! I could have updated already, but I haven’t had much time. So maybe I’ll wait for the next chapters for a confirmation, or if I have a little time before, I’ll update first!

I love this map!! When I start to watch I was completely lost about the form of the One Piece’s globe, and this map was very enlightening. Since then, I always have ir opened to follow the trip while watching. I just have a question: Why some Island have the name on white and others in yellow? I couldn’t think a reason for that. Congratulations for the work and thank you for the help.

Thank you ♥ In yellow are the groups of islands, or archipelagos. Individual islands are white!

what happened to the list of bounties that were available on claystage, i cannot find them anymore

All of our lists are now compiled on our sister website ListFist.com! There you have all the lists related to One Piece and many new ones! Here: https://listfist.com/list-of-one-piece-bounties

I think you put thriller bark on the wrong side of the grand line….. Its on the paradise side not on the New World side. Other than that great map.

Thriller Bark has moved to the New World when Gecko Moria used it to travel and visit Blackbeard

Hey, amazing map!

Couple questions: 1) When did they say the location of Baltigo? if i remember right, its only ever said to be “in the grand line” 2) what context in the stories geared you on your decision of the order of the later islands past Wanokuni? 3) I know its just a jpeg image wrapped on a globe simulator, but if there was some way to be able to enable clicking on islands to route to the one piece wiki of the arc/story that the island was involved in, that would be a cool add on. 3) Sniper Island, bro?

Thank you Devin <3

1) Yes, it is "somewhere" on the Grand Line. My thought process for placing it near Dressrosa was the fact that Jesus Bruges managed to make the trip between these two islands hidden on the revolutionaries' ship, so I think it was a short trip...

2) Essentially for the sake of narrative. It makes sense to me that the journey goes straight ahead, so we have Elbaf, Lodestar and Laugh Tale. Whitebeard was the "Man Closest to One Piece" so there's also Sphinx Island near the end (which must also be close to Wano, because Marco arrived fast). Port Chibaralta is also part of the Whitebeard territory. Hachinosu must also be somewhere in the end, as Blackbeard must be the main villain!

3) Yes, I would love to do something like that! Maybe in the future, it's definitely something that will take some time to do, and I'll probably need someone to help me!

4) You know, it's in our hearts <3

Could you possibly put the arc’s name on the island? Like for Sandy Island, in red text, it’ll say “Alabasta Arc” Also, can there be a way to know which islands are filler? Like a different colored text.

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll think about it, I just don’t want to risk getting the map too crowded. Regarding fillers, they are not included in this map for now. Maybe in the future it will also put the filler islands.

may be time to rip a hole out of onigashima and move said cut hole and red path onto the flower capital

I’ve been a bit busy, but I’ll make sure to keep the map updated once Wano Arc is over!

This is my favorite map. I believe goat island should be between sandy island and Jaya. Robin won the ship back during the chess game. It confused me cause all the maps put goat island near the beginning of the story, even though robin was there. Also G-8 comes right after Skypiea, but it is a filler arc.

love the map but “the Straw Hats path” has one small error at the twin cape as they landed on the north side not the south as that is were the lighthouse was sorry to point that out

Hi c young! Thanks for the comment! It’s a nice detail you point out, I’ll fix it in the next map update!

triller bark is close to the laugh tale?

Thriller Bark is a ship; it was first encountered in Florian Triangle.

Man this is amazing! I swear i spent like 2 hours looking at the globe and cross checking with the one piece wiki. It was so much fun seeing the Straw Hats path and also learning about other islands that i didnt know much about.

As a suggestion, I think it would make more sense if the Edd War Sea was before Lodestar Island, considering that after defeating Shikki, the Roger Pirates sailed two years before finding One Piece, for that reason it would make sense that upon defeating him and reaching Lodestar they must return to being unable to advance further (leading to their encounter with Oden).

Now that you mention it makes sense, it seems like I didn’t put much thought into that part. I will change according to your suggestion as soon as I make the next update!

Very good interactive map, although I think there are two mistakes if I am not wrong: -I can’t see Arabasta Kingdom which should be right after the Drum Kingdom (now named Sakura Kingdom). -Thriller Bark should be in the first part of the Grand Line, near the Florian Triangle. In this map is located after Wano in the New World which I think is completely wrong.

i think some of the newer chapters show that thriller bark (or a ship that’s a lot like it) is in the new world now

Thanks! This is great to see. I had forgotten a thing or two and was confused about where the New World would be, thinking the Grand Line was on both sides of the Red Line. I don’t know if you can do it, but I think the One Piece world should have the North Blue on top and the South Blue on the bottom, making the Red Line and Grand Line/New World look like two X s. This would locate the East and West Blues properly relative to Reverse Mountain. Oriented this way, the North and South Blues are no more North and South than the other two. Also, isn’t Fishman Island located under the Sabaody Archipelogo, or between it and the Red Line, maybe right next to the Red Line on the Sabaody side? You’ve got it located… right in the tunnel under the Red Line? and on the far side?

Thanks for your time and words David! I understand your suggestion, and I think it makes perfect sense. We only made the map this way for practical reasons. Converting the map from 2D to 3D creates some distortion, and if we used the “X” format it would create the distortion on top of the North Blue and South Blue.

Regarding Fishman Island, the idea that I got from the manga is that it is precisely under the Red Line as we have represented. Do you have any references that mention that it is located before?

why can’t someone from the west or south blue just cross the calm belt at the end of the grand line with a propelled boat and reach laugh island

Because of the Sea Kings!

And you cant sail in the calm belt

No one really knows the location of Laugh Tale. We just know that it is some where in the New World

what about the Island Sixis where ace was stranded with Deuce and found his devil fruit?

Suggestion: put the arch names in orange pointing where it start and end, with the chapter and episode number

I have a suggestion for non-canon islands, you could do those islands with dashed lines where they would be if it would be canon and it would be cool to have the Japanese names right next to the English names, but if you can’t do those things I understand it 100% because its a lot of work to make this and I just want to say that you are doing a great job with this I really love it to see how the world of one piece would be so keep it up man.

Loguetown? and Alabasta??

Loguetown is a town in polestar island and Alabasta is in the Sandy island

What happens after reaching laugh tale? What would happen then? If that is supposed to be the end of the grand line, how will they be able to come back to their respective seas when the whole grand line is surrounded by calm belt? It’s not like they would be traveling all the way back to fishman island and try to (which is impossible) go up the reverse mountain again which only travels one way. I mean, if they would be able to travel the calm belt this whole time, wouldn’t the whole grand line idea and adventure be obsolete? Wouldn’t those from the West and North Blue be able to easily reach laughtale if it was that way?

I think a strong enough crew to reach Laugh Tale could probably pass the calm belt with no issues. Also, remember there’s no map of the whole world, that’s why Nami wants to make it. No one knows where Laugh Tale is. Also remember that navigating through the Grand Line requires a Log Pose, and in the New World, 3 Log Poses, because of the weather conditions you can’t trust your eyes or senses.

Didn’t island of rare animals came after gecko island?

in the anime it did because they took usopp with them but in the manga they visit the island of rare animals before arriving to syrup village

Correction from previous post:

Skyipea should be to the southeast of Jaya according to the illustration in S3 ep 149

Skyipea should be to the southwest of Jaya according to the illustration in S3 ep 149

Polestar islands is where Loguetown is.

Where is Marijoa ?

mary geoise, it is on the far right

I know it whould make the map more complicated than it is but because of the gates of justice you can’t go in a straight line from marine ford to amazon lily so you probably need to go around impel down

Where is the island of Ivankov?

We updated the map with some of your suggestions! Thank you all for the support!

Where is the Island of Queen Ivankov?

Momoiro Island. It’s right by Sandy Island, where Alabasta is.

After the events on Enies Lobby, the Straw Hats should be returning to Water 7. They should be building Sunny after Merry have died. This should make this small detail correct and accurate. Then the Straw Hats resume their journey through Florian Triangle. BTW this map is epic and mind-blowing! I didn’t even know that the Red Line splits the world in half!

Love the work you are doing! It’s unfortunate that it can’t be 100% accurate but you did a great job approximating. I have a couple suggestions for additions and questions. 1) There are three kingdoms in the new world that are missing (Mogaro, Doerena, Majiatsuka). Check out the new world fandom wiki for more info. 2) There are many unnamed islands mentioned throughout the story. Were you considering adding those to the globe as well? The same new world wiki page has more info. 3) Is it possible to create multiple pathways for all of the straw hats and other major characters? Currently we only see Luffys. Also to avoid cluttering the map, perhaps creating a on/off switch for certain pathways would be ideal. 4) Is it possible somehow get the map to zoom in and show the names of individual islands? For example, instead of wano, zoom in far enough and it’ll display kuri, flower capital, udon, etc.

Hi Nick! Thank you for the words! 1) Yes, plan on adding some missing locations soon! 2) For now, I do not plan to add unnamed locations to the globe. 3) Unfortunately, through the app I use to generate the globe, it is not possible to add an on/off functionality… 4) I would like to do what you suggest, especially for Totto Land. And even adding city names and other locations… I can’t guarantee that it will be soon, but it is something I intend to do!

after marine ford shouldn’t they go around the triangle current and after that luffy stayes 2 weeks recovering in amazon lilly

Now I know the route of their adventure This is cool. Not 100% accurate but it is informative and I thank you.

Where is raftel?

why are some of the island names yellow?

Names in yellow represent archipelagos!

Thriller Bark should be near or inside the Florian Triangle.

Thriller Bark appears in the new world in chapter 925!

https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Majiatsuka_Kingdom

There is also this kingdom.

Thanks! We will do an update soon!

You need Vira / Villa on Paradise section of Grand Line, it’s missing.

https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Vira

You ought to consider adding a search feature for islands..!

Unfortunately it is not possible on this globe…

Where is Alabasta?

Is in Sandy Island!

How about adding the moon if you can?

Thank you so much for doing this, it is amazing. I know not everything is 100% accurate, (because we don’t have the information) but this does a great job representing it. Thank you!

Thank you for your kindness, it’s a pleasure!

I have a problem. They get stuck in the calm belt after they leave Logue Town

You’re absolutely right! For some reason I got the idea that they had entered the Calm Belt before arriving in Baratie… I will update the route in the next update!

This is amazing! I’ve always wanted to see a globe version of the One Piece world! thanks so much for making this!

this map is beyond inacurate

There are many islands of which we do not know the exact location, which were placed in the most “likely” location according to the information we have from the manga. So you are not wrong. If you have any suggestions for improvement share with us!

So do you know where is Kamabakka kingdom?

That’s on Momoiro Island. It’s right near Sandy Island, where Alabasta is.

according to the manga scan 966 the name of the last island (end of log pose) is Road star. Are you going to update it?

The name of the last island is “Road Star” it is revealed by Gol.D Roger on chapter 966

Warship Island on East Blue

We chose not to put islands mentioned only in fillers.

In the anime Syrup Village comes first before arriving in Island of rare animals ?

Now we know the name of that Last Island, it’s called Lodestar Island.

This is truly something special! Geography is everything and I admire your attention to detail and accuracy. (Completely understand why some things are placed for Narrative speculation) Can’t wait to see how this develops!

As explained above, North Blue, South Blue, East Blue and West Blue make up the four seas of the world. Within each Blue, sea travel works as it does in the real world. One can sail to any destination you want with a regular compass. However getting from one Blue to another is much more difficult. The reason is not only because the Red Line separates the two oceans, but also because the seas within one ocean are separated by a large sea route called the Grand Line as well as two Calm Belts .

is it a bug or i just can’t see the (3D) map ?

I have tested it on various browsers and operating systems. Can you tell me which one you’re having this problem with?

i get this error ” http://www.maptoglobe.com refused to connect “

Try to see directly in the app where the globe was created, it may help: https://www.maptoglobe.com/Hy2kOH8SX

I cant see the 3D map as well. I have W10 and google chrome

Hi there. Simply just planned to request a simple dilemma. egffedefaegf

Are you going to update Raftel’s name to its proper romanization from the movie stampede? (It’s canon)

I didn’t know that, I haven’t seen the movie yet! If the official romanization really changed, I will update the map!

its Laugh Tale

If there are full maps of each islands and it’s position in the world I think making the area in depicted size and their relative distance from each other in Minecraft would be an awesome project.

No doubt, I would play on a map like this!

is it possible to make a map for every island please

Thats nami’s job

This is amazing. Thank you.

cant wait for the new updates i really like this, you should add an information thing where you click on an island it tells you its info

Not the first time we’ve received this suggestion. It is very difficult to implement at this time, but maybe in the future!

i think there is scale problem, ’cause when the straw hats enter Grandline, luffys says it’s the biggest ocean of the world, in this map it’s like 2/3 or less of what it should be

Maybe, but considering the few representations that we have in the manga, our globe does not seem far away. Perhaps Luffy referred to the length rather than the volume.

is it possible add a line that shows luffy’s journey? that would be cool

It sounds like a neat idea! We will do it in a future update!

When will future update take place? I agree it would be pretty cool

Updated with Guanhao Island! I’ll try to implement the suggestion this week 🙂

could u maybe add maybe a small picture of the crew member and show where they spent their time during the time skip? or maybe one where their island of origin is

Good ideas! I will think about implementing this when I have some time available!

Former “Drum Kingdom” is now “Sakura Kingdom”. Please update

As far as I know, it was only the kingdom that changed its name, not the island.

where is located, give or take, the island of fish/men ?

awesome…great job

How do you know the location of raftel? is it just guess or what

Raftel position is speculative, like some other islands of which we do not know the exact position.

is there any possible that they can TRAVEL in the RED LINE ?

Well… Germa was able to cross the Red Line with its giants Den Den Mushi, so it’s technically possible!

How do you know that e.g. Hashinosu or Sphinx Island is after/ “eastwards” Wano Kuni?

Given what we know so far, these are islands that must be very close to Wano. The reason they are on the east side is a matter of narrative analysis. As history moves forward, it makes sense for these islands to be located next. But deep down this is speculation, obviously we will update the map when there is new information!

how can thriller bark be in the new world? or is it technically a ship?

It is technically a ship, and was anchored near Hachinosu the last time we saw it!

So after Wano Kingdom Arc, they will pass Sphinx Island, Elbaf and Last Island, and Luffy and his crew will reach the Raftel. So after that they will go to reverse mountain again? where brook will Reunite with Laboon, but before that, The Sea Where All oceans flow, All blue is between the redline that look like an X right? Is it possible that from east blue, Luffy, Ussop, Zorro and Nami has already passed or Sailed through All blue? or is it the current?

There is a theory that I particularly like, in which the One Piece is something that will destroy the Red Line (along with Mary Geoise). This will create a connection point between all the seas where Reverse Mountain was located, which will be the All Blue. This will allow Brook to reunite with Laboon, and the rest of the Straw Hats to return to their original seas.

wouldnt the destruction of the twin capes make an impact and the waters to flood and make tsunami’s on the others islands?

It depends on how the destruction is done. Maybe an implosion, which is safer than an explosion.

Whole cake Island and big mom’s territory in general is missing in this map

It’s more or less true… Since her territory has 35 islands, we chose to put only the name of the archipelago, Totto Land. That way the map stays more presentable, instead of getting a clutter of names in that region.

So is birdie kingdom (where chopper ended up after kuma made him disappear

Where is Loguetown?

Loguetown is a city on the Polestar Islands. We plan to update the map in the future with cities and other places, so stay tuned!!!

Thank you so much for these informations. and btw the world map is so great i like it your the best

My pleasure, it’s a project that I really enjoy working!

This whole page is great, thank you for putting so much effort into this. The list of bounties is so entertaining to look at and I love seeing who’s birthday it is!

Thank you so much for the kind support, I’m glad to know that my work has a purpose!

Where’s loguetown?

Loguetown is a city on the Polestar Islands, as I mentioned in a comment above I have not yet added the names of the cities, only the islands.

but where are the bounties now? they do not appear on this place or am i searching the wrong location

there are many things wrong with this map , like germa kingdom and thriller bark..

Hi Dragon! Why are you saying that? Germa Kingdom anchored next to Totto Land during the Whole Cake Island Arc, and we have no information about its later situation. As for Thriller Bark, it was last seen in New World near the “Pirate Island” Hachinosu in chapter 925.

This is impressive

Where’s the Hand Island?

I chose not to put non-canon islands in the map.

Where is sniper island?

It’s in your heart!

hopefully it becomes an actual place like most of usopp’s other lies 🙂 otherwise yea its in your heart as u said

One Piece: What Exactly Is The 'Grand Line' And Why Is It So Important?

The first trailer for Netflix's "One Piece" is finally here, giving fans across the world their first glimpse at the live-action adaptation of Eiichiro Oda's prolific manga and anime series of the same name. The trailer introduces viewers to several "One Piece" characters, like Monkey D. Luffy (Iñaki Godoy), Roronoa Zoro (Mackenyu), Nami (Emily Rudd), and Sanji (Taz Skylar), as well as their ship, the Going Merry.

More importantly, the trailer provides some exposition for the Straw Hat Pirates' first adventure, with Luffy telling the audience that he's heading to the Grand Line. While anime and manga fans know this name by heart, for newcomers, it's important to clarify that the Grand Line is not one specific location; it's a massive oceanic route that circles the entire world of "One Piece." The route is a famous destination for pirates and adventurers, as it's rumored that the last island on the Grand Line is where the pirate Gol D. Roger hid his famous treasure, the titular One Piece.

The Grand Line is notoriously difficult to sail due to its abundance of strange phenomena, dangerous travelers, and natural obstacles. On top of this, normal compasses fail to work within this sea route. Anybody hoping to navigate the Grand Line must use a special device called a Log Pose to journey from island to island, hoping to eventually reach the fabled final island at the end of the route.

The Grand Line is extremely important to the geography of One Piece

The geography of "One Piece" is notoriously tricky, since the world is covered by a massive body of water known as the Blue Sea that is said to encompass over two million islands. Thankfully, the Grand Line helps to separate the world into four distinct oceans.

"One Piece" fans know that the Grand Line is cut in half by the Red Line, which — like the Grand Line — encircles the entire planet. In doing so it separates the Grand Line into a first half called "Paradise" and a second half called the "New World," the latter being far more dangerous and unpredictable than the already daunting Paradise. 

The Grand Line and the Red Line form an "X" that divides the Blue Sea into four distinct regions — the North Blue, South Blue, East Blue, and West Blue. The West and North Blues are located outside the New World, and the South and East Blues are located outside of Paradise.

Each of these Blue Oceans are separated from the Grand Line by the Calm Belts that border the world-encircling route on either side. These are calm, windless seas that make it nearly impossible to travel from one of the Blues into the line.

The Grand Line is the primary setting for the majority of One Piece

It's a tremendous undertaking just to get onto the Grand Line and practically impossible to ever traverse its treacherous waters to the very end, which means Netflix's "One Piece" is just getting started with the story of Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates. Because Luffy's ultimate goal is to track down Gol D. Roger's mythical treasure, his fate and the story of "One Piece" itself are directly linked to the Grand Line.

As such, nearly the entire story of "One Piece" takes place within the Grand Line. In both the anime and the manga, nearly every story arc after the East Blue Saga has taken place inside the Grand Line or on one of its countless islands.

Although the non-Grand Line episodes make up a dramatically small portion of the series, it's worth noting that the East Blue Saga takes up 61 episodes within the anime and 100 chapters of the manga, meaning it will likely be a long time before fans see Netflix's live-action series reach this legendary oceanic route. Regardless of how long it takes for the Straw Hats to reach the Grand Line, it's important for new viewers to understand the significance of this path.

One Piece Season 2's Timeline Gives Netflix An Arlong Replacement Headache

I'm worried one piece season 2 won't include my favorite character after netflix show update, fbi: most wanted season 6 images reveal first look at returning cast & update on remy's relationship.

• The world of One Piece is a vast and complex universe filled with various organizations, pirate crews, and cultures, making it a daunting undertaking for new viewers.
• The map of One Piece is primarily dominated by the ocean, with different islands scattered across the fictional globe, creating a strongly nautical landscape.
• Different pirate crews having starkly different goals, including seeking the fabled One Piece treasure or causing chaos and ruling over islands. Monkey D. Luffy's Straw Hat Pirates are the main protagonists of the series.

The world of One Piece is immensely vast, and beginning that voyage can seem daunting - these are the essentials worth knowing before hitting play on Netflix's live-action One Piece adaptation. With over 1000 chapters of manga and 1000 episodes of anime released since the franchise began in 1997, Eiichiro Oda's One Piece is not a light undertaking. With its live-action One Piece TV show coming into port, Netflix will be hoping to bring new eyes to Monkey D. Luffy's pirate adventures, and the condensed timeline provides the perfect entry point for those curious about this anime phenomenon.

Even though Netflix's One Piece is stuffing the better part of 100 manga chapters into a slender eight-episode season, Eiichiro Oda's world remains stacked with mythology. Perhaps the biggest challenge facing first-time navigators of One Piece will be the sheer volume of organizations, pirate crews, locations, and groups that play vital roles in Luffy's story. The following breakdown of people, places and posses represents the essentials for navigating a course through the richly-detailed One Piece universe.

The One Piece World Map

What the world of one piece looks like.

The map of One Piece is almost wholly different from the real world. Eiichiro Oda may take inspiration from genuine countries and cultures - the island of Dressrosa is heavily based on Spain, for example - but the similarities end there. One Piece is primarily dominated by ocean, with populations gathered on the many islands dotted across Oda's fictional globe. While some islands are considerably bigger than others, there are virtually no continent-sized land masses as in real life, creating a strongly nautical landscape.

The One Piece map is divided into four watery quadrants - East Blue, West Blue, North Blue and South Blue. Each of these oceans contains its own islands, pirates, and cultures, while a fifth ocean - the mythical All Blue, is also rumored to exist. Two lines circling the entire globe divide these four corners of One Piece 's world. One is the Red Line, a huge, impassable range of mountains. The other is the Grand Line, a treacherous, also impassable strip of ocean, and there are two points where the Red Line and Grand Line rings intersect on Oda's fictional globe.

Thanks to the Red Line and the Grand Line, passing freely between all four oceans is virtually impossible. Only a lucky few with the correct equipment and sailing expertise can move from one ocean to the next. The first step of Luffy's journey in Netflix's One Piece involves crossing from East Blue into the Grand Line.

The Four "Blue" Oceans

While the four "Blue" oceans make up the majority of One Piece 's world, they play a relatively minor role in Eiichiro Oda's story. East Blue is where Luffy and his initial group of crew mates hail from, and where Netflix's One Piece adaptation will spend most of its time in season 1. The remaining three oceans are only occasionally relevant to One Piece , and even more seldom seen. Of all the four oceans, East Blue is commonly known as the weakest, containing the least fearsome pirates and sea beasts.

The Grand Line

The Grand Line, the wild ring of ocean surrounding the globe, is where most of One Piece 's action happens - both from a narrative perspective, and in-universe. Known as a gathering place for the world's strongest pirates, the Grand Line is more dangerous than each of One Piece 's four other oceans. In addition to carrying scarier sailors, the Grand Line harbors devilish creatures of the deep, and is notorious for its erratic weather patterns that make sailing notoriously tricky for even the most skilled navigators. The Grand Line requires a special compass known as a Log Pose in order to avoid becoming hopelessly lost.

Once a ship enters the Grand Line, powerful currents called Calm Belts containing armies of deadly underwater creatures line either side, meaning an easy exit is out of the question. The ruthless and unrelenting nature of the Grand Line has chewed up and spit out many an unprepared pirate, and the route gets even more perilous in the second half, colloquially known as the New World. This latter stage is where the Grand Line's very best pirates clash.

Pirates In One Piece

Predictably, the One Piece world is brimming with pirates. Piracy began a long time before Luffy set sail, but became considerably more prevalent thanks to the original Pirate King, Gold Roger. After sailing the world, Roger was executed for his crimes over 20 years before Luffy's era, but used his public death as a platform to announce that his treasure, the fabled One Piece, was sitting at the end of the Grand Line on an island called Raftel, just waiting for another pirate to collect it. This shocking declaration resulted in a massive wave of piracy and the official beginning of One Piece 's Golden Age of Piracy.

The world of One Piece mirrors real life in that pirates are typically depicted as the scourge of the seas. The truth, however, is far from black and white. While some pirates certainly pillage and kill for kicks, the likes of Monkey D. Luffy and Red-Haired Shanks are demonstrably more virtuous - pirates who prioritize adventure, friendship and freedom over loot and infamy.

Consequently, different pirate crews in One Piece have starkly different goals. Some seek Gold Roger's One Piece and the title of Pirate King. Others are happy to cause chaos and live as they please. Some even become organized criminals that accumulate wealth by smuggling, arms dealing, or ruling over islands as tyrants.

Luffy's Straw Hat Pirates

The main protagonists in One Piece 's cast , Monkey D. Luffy's Straw Hat Pirates will be the focus of Netflix's live-action TV show. Luffy is one of the many pirates aiming to claim the titular One Piece and become Pirate King, although few are as enthusiastically vocal about that goal as the Straw Hats' captain. Netflix's One Piece season 1 will introduce Luffy, the swordsman Zoro, navigator Nami, sniper Usopp, and chef Sanji, but this is only part of the true Straw Hat crew from Eiichiro Oda's One Piece manga and anime. The full lineup later includes Chopper the reindeer doctor, infamous archaeologist Nico Robin, the cyborg shipwright Franky, skeletal musician Brook, and Jinbe the Fishman.

The Straw Hat roster grows larger still, as Luffy's crew also contains two honorary members in Princess Vivi and Yamato, who are considered Straw Hats, but do not currently travel on the ship. Later in the One Piece story, the Straw Hats expand from a crew into a fully-fledged fleet, as other pirate captains pledge their allegiance to Luffy and fly his flag above their own. Although Netflix's One Piece will likely never reach this stage, one of Luffy's future fleet comrades, Cavendish, is teased by Netflix's One Piece trailer .

Other Pirate Crews In Netflix's One Piece Season 1

Through promotional footage and casting announcements, numerous other pirates crews have been confirmed for Netflix's One Piece season 1. Most prominently, the Buggy Pirates, led by Jeff Ward's Buggy the Clown, will appear as early antagonists to the Straw Hats. Buggy's circus-themed troupe will be joined by the feline-centric Black Cat Pirates, led by Captain Kuro, Alvida's small-time crew, and Arlong's gang of Fishmen, collectively known as the Arlong Pirates. All of the above are strong forces within the comfy confines of East Blue, but they remain relatively weak against the broader backdrop of One Piece 's pirate hierarchy.

The Four Emperors

Atop said hierarchy sits the Four Emperors, otherwise known as the Yonko. These four pirate crews are recognized across the world as the strongest, most influential quartet of swashbucklers in the entire world, and are, therefore, closest to finding the One Piece and becoming Gold Roger's successor. When Netflix's One Piece adaptation begins, the Four Emperors of the seas are Whitebeard, Big Mom, Kaido, and Red-Haired Shanks.

The Rulers Of One Piece's World

The world government.

Although each island in One Piece typically has its own ruler, often an unelected king or queen with a birthright to the throne, the entire world falls under the purview of the World Government. This organization makes and upholds the various laws of One Piece 's land, and stands in direct opposition to pirates, law-breakers, and ne'er-do-wells. Not every island in One Piece is officially affiliated with the World Government, but like any good fictional dictatorship, the institution's influence remains felt across all locations regardless.

The World Government comprises 170 nations from across the seas, and was founded by 20 islands whose rulers attend a regular summit. Above them in the One Piece pecking order is the Gorosei - also known as the Five Elders. This shady quartet remains shrouded in mystery, even in One Piece 's most recent chapters, but they are directly responsible for ruling the seas and bringing down its toughest pirates. One of the most damning crimes one can commit against the World Government is researching the Void Century - a blank period of history from immediately before the World Government's formation. Precisely what happened during this time remains unknown.

Although the Gorosei were considered the pinnacle of political power for a long time, the One Piece anime and manga has since revealed an ominous higher power that even the Five Elders bow to. It seems unlikely that this figure will ever appear in Netflix's One Piece . Even so, Eiichiro Oda has clearly positioned them as the supreme ruler in his fictional world.

The Marines

The Marines represent the military arm of the World Government. A naval force designed to combat piracy, uphold the law, and protect the innocent, Marines ultimately take their orders from the Gorosei. Just as good and bad pirates exist in the world of One Piece , there are good and bad Marines also. Some genuinely wish to help the helpless and defend ordinary people, whereas others reek of corruption and are more interested in protecting their own interests. The majority of Marines fall somewhere in between, possessing some degree of moral compass, but often looking the other way to avoid punishment from higher-ups.

The average Marine grunt in One Piece wades into battle with nothing but a standard issue rifle or sword and a twinkle in their eye. Only at captain level do Marine power levels begin getting serious. Vice-admirals such as Garp are seriously powerful threats, but the Marines' main firepower comes from the trio of admirals at the top of the chain. During Netflix's One Piece , the three admirals are Aokiji, Akainu, and Kizaru. They are led by Fleet Admiral Sengoku during the live-action adaptation, who is also outrageously strong.

The Seven Warlords

One Piece often refers to "three pillars of power" within its world. One pillar is the Four Emperors, another is the three admirals of the Marines, and the final pillar is the Seven Warlords, otherwise called the Shichibukai. Straddling both realms, the Seven Warlords are powerful pirates that serve the World Government in exchange for amnesty - similar to real history's privateers, who were pirates that could commit legitimate piracy thanks to a signed letter of marque from their monarch.

Some Warlords take their position more seriously than others, but all of them have selfish motivations for betraying their own kind. Regardless, all members of the Shichibukai are required to do the World Government's bidding when called upon. The only Warlord confirmed to appear in Netflix's One Piece TV show is Dracule Mihawk, who is also widely acknowledged as the world's greatest swordsman.

Other Factions In One Piece

The revolutionary army.

Most One Piece battles pit pirates against the Marines, but some groups and factions roaming the seas belong in neither camp. The most prominent among these is the Revolution Army, led by the enigmatic "world's most wanted man," Dragon. While the marines chase after the Revolutionaries as doggedly as they chase pirates, the rebel group is geared toward political activism as opposed to piracy. The Revolutionary Army aims to bring down the entire World Government and establish a more democratic system of leadership in the One Piece world.

Criminal Organizations

Whereas the Revolutionary Army is an entity that fights for good, several non-pirate, non-Marine groups are dedicated to evil. Scientific villains Germa 66 and the five mafia families of West Blue are two examples of criminal forces that exist in the One Piece world without necessarily resorting to piracy. For some illicit organizations, however, the line is less clear. Baroque Works is both an organized crime outfit and a pirate crew of sorts. All across One Piece 's map, the currency used by pirates, criminals, and civilians alike is known as "berry."

Not strictly a faction or organization, the fish-men are nevertheless a vital presence in the One Piece story. The vast majority of folks in One Piece are humans, although different islands have different cultures, gods, traditions, and sometimes different physical traits, such as the winged residents of Skypiea. The fish-men are an entirely different race - a society of humanoids with aquatic features that predominantly live under the sea, and that have been at-odds with humans on the surface for many years. The fish-men play a major role in Netflix's adaptation, with the Arlong Pirates among One Piece season 1's main villains . While Arlong and his cohorts are evil, most fish-men are the exact opposite.

Powers In One Piece's World

Devil fruits.

The wacky powers of One Piece 's world are almost always the result of eating a Devil Fruit. These disgusting fruits grow across the entire One Piece globe, and each bestows a unique power upon the user, such as Luffy's ability to stretch his body, or Buggy the Clown's splitting into pieces trick. Each Devil Fruit is unique, and no person can eat more than one without dying. All Devil Fruits also come with the same cost - an eternal weakness to seawater. Luffy and other Devil Fruit users go completely limp if the merest splash of salty foam comes into contact with their skin. When a Devil Fruit-user dies, their fruit regrows somewhere, ready to be eaten again.

One Piece features three fundamental varieties of Devil Fruit.

• Paramecia - the most common type that covers a range of powers. Buggy's Chop-Chop Fruit is a paramecia-type.
• Logia - a rare type of Devil Fruit. Allows the user to transform their body into a natural force such as fire, ice, smoke, or sand.
• Zoan - a Devil Fruit that allows the user to transform into an animal.

Eating a Devil Fruit is far from the only way to gain strength in One Piece , and many non-users still display unnatural strength. The likes of Zoro and Sanji are both inhumanly strong and wildly fast thanks to their diligent training and natural prowess, while Luffy's strength is also the result of practice and natural talent, not simply his Gomu Gomu Fruit. Fighters in One Piece can also develop a power known as Haki, of which three primary types exist.

• Armament Haki - creates a hard coating over the body for both offensive and defensive uses.
• Observation Haki - awareness of movements and heightened senses. Advanced users can even predict the future.
• Conqueror's Haki - the most powerful form, and the only one that characters must be born with. Uses the power of will to dominate opponents.

Technology In One Piece's World

One Piece 's approach to technology is unique in the sense that Eiichiro Oda's world is both advanced and primitive at the same time. This mostly depends on the island, with Luffy's Windmill Village representing little more than a basic fishing settlement, and other islands such as the manga's Water 7 and Egghead Island delving fully into sci-fi territory. One Piece bridges this gap by finding innovative ways to recreate real-world technology with a nautical flourish. The best example would be the Den Den Mushi snails - living mollusks that effectively serve as telephones in the One Piece universe.

Where and When Does One Piece Take Place? One Piece Map, Explained

Netflix’s ‘ One Piece ’ is a fantasy adventure show that follows the story of Monkey D. Luffy and his crew of pirates called the Straw Hat Pirates. Brought together by unforeseen circumstances, each crew member has a dream. Luffy’s dream is to find the fabled treasure called One Piece, which has been lost for more than two decades. He is joined by Nami, Zoro, Usopp, and Sanji as they prepare to travel into uncharted waters, where the world becomes more dangerous and the waters trickier than they could imagine. The show creates its own unique world, which is quite different from ours. Here’s everything you need to know about the world of Netflix’s ‘One Piece.’ SPOILERS AHEAD

One Piece Timeline

The first season of ‘One Piece’ introduces us to the main characters, revealing their backstories and how they became the Straw Hat Pirates. In the present timeline, we follow Monkey D. Luffy, who has embarked on the journey to find a reliable ship and a trustworthy crew with whom he can set sail for the Grand Line and find the treasure.

Twenty-two years before the present events, infamous pirate Gol D. Roger is publicly executed. However, before dying, he tells everyone about his treasure, which he has collected over the years, all of which is in one place together somewhere in the Grand Line. The desire to find this treasure leads many people to turn towards piracy.

The events in which Luffy meets the people who would eventually become his crew and friends take place over the course of a few weeks. However, we also go back to the past to witness their backstories. Zoro’s backstory reveals how, seven years ago, the loss of a friend put him on the path to becoming the greatest swordsman in the world. Ten years before Luffy actively became a pirate, he met another pirate, Shanks, whom he revered and who inspired Luffy to dream of becoming the King of Pirates. Similarly, the show takes us into flashbacks to give us a deeper insight into the story of the characters.

One Piece Map, Explained

The world depicted in Netflix’s ‘One Piece’ is unlike our world. The events take place on an unnamed planet where most of the world is made up of the ocean. The ocean is divided in half by a strip of land called the Red Line, which runs through the middle, like the Prime Meridian on the Earth. The Red Line is made up of mountain ranges, is mostly barren, and hasn’t yet featured on the TV show. Instead of the Red Line, people mostly live on the islands in the four seas.

The halves are further divided, creating quadrants by the Grand Line, which runs perpendicular to the Red Line, making it the Equator of that world. The quadrants of the ocean are called North Blue, South Blue, East Blue, and West Blue. Most of the action in the first season of ‘One Piece’ takes place in East Blue. All the locations featured in the first season exist in this quadrant. The story begins at Loguetown, where Gol D. Roger’s execution takes place and where he declares the existence of One Piece.

Other places that feature on the show are Windmill Village, Shimotsuki Village (Zoro’s home), Sixis Island, Shells Town (where the 153rd Marine Branch is located), the Baratie restaurant, the Gecko Island and Syrup Village (where Kaya and Usopp’s story takes place).

The Grand Line

The Grand Line hasn’t yet featured on Netflix’s ‘One Piece,’ but is a crucial part of its storyline. This is where Roger’s treasure is hidden and where Luffy wants to go. The Grand Line is a treacherous place because this is where the most infamous of pirates live, all in search of the treasure. Here, the weather is unpredictable, the monsters are worse than anywhere else, and the compasses fail— all of which makes it ripe for adventure.

Being there is a challenge in itself, but entering the Grand Line is another task entirely. The Grand Line has a strip of calm ocean on either side, known as the Calm Belt. It gets its name from the fact that it never has ocean currents or winds to ease the sailing. It is also the nesting ground for some of the most dangerous monsters in the sea, called the Sea Kings. With the Calm Belt on either side of the Grand Line, it becomes very difficult to cross over into the other quadrant.

There is also the Reverse Mountain, which is referenced at the end of Season 1 by Nami. Here, the water first flows uphill and then falls down to enter the Grand Line. The description itself reveals how dangerous a place it is, but this is the path the Straw Hat Pirates must choose to get to the Grand Line.

The All Blue

While the rest of the places in Netflix’s ‘One Piece’ are present on the maps, the location of one place remains unclear. It is mentioned by Sanji and called the All Blue. It is a legend that all four seas are said to meet and create the breeding grounds for the kinds of fish that haven’t been seen before, making it a dream place for any chef worth their salt in the world. To find this place is Sanji’s dream, one he shared with his father-like figure, Zeff, another pirate who was in search of the All Blue. It is due to his desire to find the place that Sanji decides to leave Baratie and join the Straw Hat Pirates.

This 34-mile Scenic Highway Is One of the Best Places to See Fall Foliage in the U.S.

The fall colors on the Kancamagus Highway in New Hampshire have to be seen to be believed.

Evie Carrick is a writer and editor who’s lived in five countries and visited well over 50. She now splits her time between Colorado and Paris, ensuring she doesn't have to live without skiing or L'As du Fallafel.

Raimund Linke/Getty Images

There’s no place like the East Coast in the fall. Plenty of destinations claim to have the highest number of deciduous trees and the most vibrant colors, but very few can compare to the feel of fall in New England .

During a recent trip to the East Coast, I was unknowingly routed onto the Kancamagus Highway , known locally as “The Kanc." Unaware that it is one of the most beautiful and iconic drives in New England — and arguably, the nation — I returned home with stories of the narrow, tree-lined highway that cuts across the state of New Hampshire . It didn’t take long for in-the-know family members to fill me in. 

Recognized as a National Scenic Byway for its stunning views, the Kancamagus Highway runs 34.5 miles from the town of Lincoln toward Conway. As the route cuts west-to-east across the state, it passes through the heart of the scenic White Mountain National Forest . Highway pull-offs provide views of the White Mountains and access to sites like Sabbaday Falls and Rocky Gorge. The west end of the route (the Lincoln side) offers sights like Loon Mountain and Hobo Railroad (aka the Granite State Scenic Railway), while the east end of the Kanc is near Cranmore Mountain Resort, the Conway Scenic Railroad, and several beloved local restaurants. The scenic byway is worth a drive any time of the year (and it is open year-round), but the Kanc is at its best in fall, when the trees that line the picturesque roadway turn vibrant shades of yellow, orange, and red. The highway is one of the main reasons why New Hampshire draws millions of visitors over a few short weeks each fall. The colors and their vibrancy have to be seen to be believed. 

If seeing the spectacular fall display from your car isn’t enough, make a pit stop at one of the many hiking trails that start just off the highway. Popular routes include Sabbaday Brook Trail (which leads to the falls mentioned above), Lincoln Woods Trailhead, and the Boulder Loop Trail. If one of those trails doesn’t catch your fancy, there are plenty more. For a full rundown, head over to kancamagushhighway.com . 

And if you’re lucky, you just might also spot local wildlife on your leaf-peeping journey, as the Kanc is known to provide glimpses of moose, eagles, deer, and bears.

Who Let The Dogs Out? Bikepacking The Wilson’s Ramble

By Eric Hockman

Guest Contributor

Part route report and part story, this upbeat piece from Eric Hockman chronicles his ride of our 125-mile Wilson’s Ramble route in North Carolina with a ragtag bunch of friends. As they ride, they savor the region’s unique natural beauty, fly fish in the creeks, stop by some cultural institutions, and meet a heaping handful of menacing canines.

PUBLISHED Sep 4, 2024

After reading this story’s title, you might be having a flashback to the year 2000 and the hit alt-reggae song by the Baha Men, but that’s not what this tale—errr, tail—is about. Let’s start at the beginning of the journey, in the late summer months of 2022, when a riding buddy of mine first brought up the idea of this trip while we spun around the forest on two wheels.

In the past, Rob and I had independently done a little bike touring in the West before we met while living in North Carolina, so when the opportunity to have an adventure in our new backyard’s mountains presented itself, we made the mutual decision to go for it so we could get to know part of the mighty Pisgah National Forest from the saddle. What started as a two-man team quickly turned into a trio, then a foursome, and finally a five-pack of mutually connected buddies, all eager to share an adventure. So ensued the planning. 

Over the next eight months, the humble beginnings of a group text with two friends from Colorado and a couple of others in Asheville quickly evolved into an information-sharing platform. Rob, Bryan, Bryson, Mike, and I covered all the topics that unfold in any good adventure planning group text, with talks of route planning, gear checklist nerdery in the form of spreadsheets, logistical chatter, sharing new fly fishing beta, the occasional bit of banter, a fair dose of spreading stoke, and finally, the part about the dogs. Yeah, the dogs. More on that below. 

The Ramble and Feldman’s Reroute

The route, affectionately coined Wilson’s Ramble, was created by a local area rider and the creator of BIKEPACKING.com, Logan Watts. The name of the route is evidently showcased throughout a meandering 125-mile loop in the Southern Appalachian Mountains, connecting scenic gravel roads, winding singletrack, and fast-rolling forest service roads. Passing through ancestral Cherokee lands in the Wilson Creek and Linville Gorge Wilderness areas, the Ramble had our crew cranking up steep gravel climbs with sweeping switchbacks and zipping along rolling, winding descents that seemed to go on forever.

While we stayed fairly true to the Garmin track, we opted to explore a few minor reroute options that our resident map expert, Mike, had suggested to prioritize some bonus fishing spots. Mike’s an avid fly angler and his last name, Feldman, has a certain similarity to the name Wilson, so as we pedaled along on the alternate sections behind our sage navigator, we joked those sections would wear the moniker of Feldman’s Ramble and hopefully lead us to some good fishing. 

Checking out points of interest

There’s no shortage of sightseeing or experiencing some unique establishments along the Ramble, which provided us with an excellent mix of feeling removed from it all, giving us an up-close look at the rustic structures that dot the region, and still having some opportunities to score some bonus food from the charming off-route resupply point, Betsey’s Ole Country Store & Trout Pond, which was worth the detour. 

Unfortunately, we timed things a little off-kilter to hit the iconic Whippoorwill Farm, home to Fonta Flora Brewing, for a cold one, and we missed out on the Southern fare offered at Famous Lousie’s Rockhouse Restaurant. Still, we did manage to score a little solo time at Wiseman’s View before a wave of sightseers flooded the overlook area, and that felt well worth the effort.

Fishing, not catching

One of the beautiful phenomenons of Southern Appalachia is the abundant water that seeps from the mountains, collecting in tiny brooks that feed into creeks, building up to larger streams that spill down waterfalls and through hollers, and eventually collect in often gin-clear rivers at the bottom of the watershed. For that reason, there is no shortage of water along the route to filter and drink, take a quick dip in to cool down, rinse off the day’s efforts, or try your hand at casting for the wiley native trout that inhabit the area.  

Following along the rugged watersheds, we crossed countless mountain streams, providing us the opportunity to combine bikepacking with fly fishing on some of Western North Carolina’s most scenic waterways and terrain. In our research, we read that there were several opportunities to fish for trout along the way, so lingering near water sources and taking long breaks to wet a line along the route were central priorities in our crew’s shared vision. The problem was that the fish weren’t having anything we served on the faux-bug menu.

As any angler will know, conditions can be hit or miss, especially when covering ground on the bike is part of the dance. For that reason, we made sure to camp near fishable spots so we could get on the water during the golden and dawn light hours of the day, seemingly our best chances to connect with a fish, or so we thought. With a couple of other plotted lunch stops by water to rig up and throw some casts, we were determined to break the skunk that seemed to be looming. 

Hundreds—if not thousands—of collective casts later, our crew of stumped anglers found nothing but a couple of tiny Warpaint Shiners, a cold water species in the South that conveniently shares the same aquatic insect diet as trout. Trout: one, bikepackers: zero—this time. On second thought, perhaps we could have pedaled back to Betsey’s Ole Trout Pond for a shot at success, an extra Cheerwine, and a bag of Doritos for the road. 

Despite being skunked and humbled by some incredibly elusive trout and given a little false hope from the shiners, we weren’t left entirely empty-handed. What we did catch on this trip was a brief reprieve from the chaos of our everyday lives, a little bit of rhythm that the rise and fall of the mountains and rivers offer, a stronger connection as buddies, and a deeper love for and appreciation of the place a few of us get to call home.

The Rogue Dogs

For four days and three nights, we enjoyed pedaling, camping, and fishing our way around the unforgettably scenic loop that is Wilson’s Ramble, residing temporarily in magical sites surrounded by rushing mountain streams, uncurling ferns, and the coming alive of the forest that springtime in the South brings. 

On the fourth and final day, we at last learned about the dogs. Highlighted in the comments section of the route overview here on BIKEPACKING.com, several riders noted rogue dogs on the final stretch of the mission. We took note but had hoped that maybe the dogs would be inside being good boyyys , snoozing in the late afternoon sun or just not paying attention when we zipped by. One could only hope for such luck.

As we got into the heart of the zone where we expected to meet the infamous dogs from the comments section—who, by the way, have managed to take out a few riders—my buddy Bryson calmly announced to the crew in a rather steady tone, “We’ve got a couple of tangos at three o’clock.” 

We figured our best shot at evading these pissed-off pups was to pick up the pace and stick together. The first couple of interactions were fairly low-key, with the dogs barreling through tall grassy meadows and not quite getting to the edge of the road as we whizzed by. We were able to skirt by without trouble, which left us feeling confident for the moment. Based on our count of how many we thought there were outlined in the comments section, we gathered there were still a few more to come. “More bogey’s on the left.!” This time, Bryson’s tone was slightly less collected. 

Mike led the crew with an enthusiastic and thunderous “wooooooooooh!” battlecry as we charged directly into more enemy territory. Meanwhile, Rob and I looked at each other pensively, let out nervous chuckles, and charged onward, following Mike’s fearless lead. 

Our crew of five held together in tight formation, cranked out some more pedal strokes with what matches we had left to burn on day four of our journey, narrowly dodged a group of two, then a pack of three, and what I vividly remember as two sets of neighbor dogs who teamed up for a foursome of angry fur friends who somehow managed to flank us from both sides.

Eventually, we cleared the last of the advances, sharing a few laughs safely on the other side. But we still wondered if we would eventually meet some kind of “boss dog.” And, could we beat him? I personally don’t care to find out. As for the title of this story, well, I’m still left wondering. Who let the dogs out? Who, who, who, who?

The Wilson’s Ramble is a quintessential 3-4 day bikepacking route that loops through several spectacular geographic zones around the Wilson Creek watershed and the Linville Gorge Wilderness. The route uses an orchestrated mix of flowing singletrack, remote and rugged forest roads, and graded gravel to provide a great long weekend riding experience that takes in all the highlights of this magical region, including one of the best breweries on the East Coast.

A Sea Train is a locomotive paddle steamer that traverses across the surface of the sea , traveling between Water 7 and several other nearby islands.

To date, there are only three in existence. The first two were built by Tom's Workers , headed by a reputed and legendary Fish-Man shipwright known as Tom , who is well known for having built the ship that was sailed by the King of the Pirates . The other one was built by the Galley-La Company , headed by Tom's former apprentice, Iceburg .

Overview [ ]

The Sea Train is a masterpiece of engineering that only a true master shipwright could build. According to Nami , something so big and heavy shouldn't even be able to float.

By design, a sea train is roughly immune to changes in weather. The train's momentum and speed allow it to pulse forward in any situation, even against an Aqua Laguna (a large storm that hits Water 7 once a year). Though it is still preferable to avoid traveling in such extreme conditions.

The tracks of a sea train lie just under the surface of the ocean, and sway with the tides to avoid any damage caused by the waves. The tracks require only occasional maintenance, as they are only used to boost the torque of the sea train's paddles on the ocean's surface, as well as a guide to its destination without the need for a Log Pose .

Whenever the train passes over the track, a device near the wheels makes an underwater dissonance that drives away Sea Kings .

Sea Trains [ ]

There are currently three sea trains in existence:

• Rocketman was the first prototype sea train Tom built; it cannot be controlled and is basically a runaway train. Due to high safety risks, it could not be used commercially.
• Puffing Tom was the second sea train made and first to be used commercially.
• Puffing Ice is the third sea train manufactured. It was designed and made by Iceburg 's Galley-La Company .

During the events that transpired in the Enies Lobby Arc , the Rocketman was lost, and the Puffing Tom was heavily damaged.

Non-Canon Sea Trains [ ]

Secon Island station.

Sea Trains were used as transportation by the people living in a small archipelago where the Straw Hats landed. Several sea train lines connect Dock Island and Secon Island as well as other surrounding islands. The rail system was far more elaborate than the one used by Water 7, employing signals and junctions for easier travel. The trains themselves were also more modern and refined, their design drawing inspiration from the 3700 "City" Class engines used by the Great Western Railway . [1]

Stations [ ]

The sea trains run through several stations, the first station they run through is Shift Station , which is operated by the conductor Kokoro who also lives there. The other stations are located at Water 7 , Pucci , St. Poplar , San Faldo and Enies Lobby . Three of these stations are mentioned by name.

• Blue Station : The station at Water 7 station which is operated by at least two people.
• Shift Station : A station that lies somewhat away from Water 7 and also serves as a lighthouse for oncoming ships. It is the home of Kokoro, Chimney and Gonbe .
• Day Station : This station is located at Enies Lobby, and it is the final station the sea trains can go to.
• A station is located on Secon Island, in One Piece Film: Z .

History [ ]

Around 24 years ago, Tom was considering building a proper sea train when he was approached by representatives of the World Government , who sought to arrest the fish-man for the felony of constructing Gol D. Roger 's pirate ship, the Oro Jackson . At the time, Water 7's remoteness and proximity to a large number of Sea King , coupled with increased pirate activity during the early stages of the Great Pirate Era , made the port city undesirable for trade, slowly eroding the city and all who lived there. By building his "steam paddle boat", Tom would effectively save Water 7 by opening it up for trade, as well as save his own life. The judge overseeing Tom's trial agreed to postpone Tom's sentencing for ten years; if he was successful at building the sea train network, he would be pardoned for his original crime. [2]

When Tom began construction on Water 7's sea train network, he had already built a prototype of a steam engine that he called Rocketman . After drawing up a new blueprint. Tom's polished train, the Puffing Tom , was originally only connected to Enies Lobby , but Tom took an additional four years to build tracks to three other nearby islands: St. Poplar , Pucci , and San Faldo . [3]

The sea train is also responsible for Franky becoming a cyborg . When Spandam boarded Tom onto the sea train, Franky (then Cutty Flam) became enraged and tried to stop it. He did a full-on tackle to try to stop the train. When it ran him over, Franky's injuries were so severe that he had to replace his broken and damaged body parts with steel scrap. [4]

Two years after the Summit War of Marineford , Galley-La Company had successfully built a second, functioning sea train (and the third one in total), the Puffing Ice . [5]

• In the One Piece Film: Z , several sea trains appears to connect Dock Island and Secon Island. Those are the first sea trains in the New World and the only one so far to be non-canon.
• The engine on the train is an American 4-4-0 engine or an American type steam locomotive. These types engines have eight wheels (four leading wheels, four driving, and no trailing wheels) and were used most common on American railroads during the 1800's and 1830's until 1928 and were given the name "American" in 1872 to show how they did all the work on every railroad in the United States.
