West Blue

The West Blue (西の海 (ウェスト･ブルー), Nishi no Umi [Wesuto Burū], literally translated as Ocean of the West) 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 Red Line.

Historic information
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 the record of time. 20 years ago they dared to do the unthinkable and began to study a period known as 'the blank chapter', a period of history roughly 800 years ago that the world government banned from researching. When word got out on 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.
