West Blue

The West Blue is an ocean in the One Piece World. West Blue, like its sister seas, comprises almost entirely of ocean, with a few scattered islands and a border with the Red Line.

It is known to be the birthplace of the Straw Hats' Archaeologist, Nico Robin, and Musician, Brook, the Yonko Red-Haired Shanks and one of the members of The Worst Generation, Capone Bege.

Destruction of Ohara
Until 20 years ago, Ohara Island held the Tree of Knowledge, a famous place where the books recording the events of history were held.

Inside the tree, the world's best archaeologists resided, studying the events of history and making sure the words held in each book were not forgotten. It was their duty to protect and preserve the books and their record of time. 22 years ago before current time, they dared to do the unthinkable and began to study a period known as the Void Century, a period in history roughly 800 years ago that the World Government banned from researching.

When word got out about what they were researching, the island was ordered to be destroyed using the 'Buster Call'. During the Buster Call, some quick thinking on the archaeologists' part saved the books inside the tree from being lost. They threw them into the lake outside, safe from the fire of the Buster Call that tried to destroy them.

Only one person survived the massacre of Ohara: a young girl named Nico Robin. Her knowledge of the Poneglyph language meant that she was the only one who could learn the banned history and possibly revive the Ancient Weapons, artefacts of war with the potential to destroy the world. This led to her being branded as a "Devil Child", being chased and persecuted until the present.
