North Blue

The North Blue (北の海 [ノース･ブルー], Kita no Umi [Nōsu Burū], literally translated as Ocean of the North) is an ocean in the One Piece World. North Blue, like its sister seas, comprises almost entirely of ocean, with a few scattered islands and a border with Red Line.

To this date, the storyline has not said much about the North Blue. We do know that it is the birthplace of the Straw Hat Pirates' chef, Sanji, and home of the legendary explorer Montblanc Norland (called Liar Norland), the first blue sea inhabitant to discover Skypiea.

The goggles that Usopp bought in Loguetown are said to be a new model from the North Blue.

Historic Information
One of the most famous stories from the North Blue is the tale of Montblanc Norland, an explorer from Lyneel. Over 400 years ago Norland left to explore the Grand Line, traveling many places from Villa to Jaya. Upon his return home, he lied to everyone about his journey to Jaya and seeing the city of Gold. The king heard about the city of gold and asked Norland to take him. Norland tricked the king into going to Jaya only to find the city of gold was not there. Upon his return the king sentenced Norland to death and he was excuted his last words being "Thats it! The city of gold must have sunk under the sea!"
