I wondered about that in an earlier blog, too. Looking at the map I find it strange that there are no height lines. Does that mean no one ever saw that part of the mountain so no one could draw a map of it?

Stupid side question: Which ocean is which? Judged by the island the upper right should be East Blue, so lower left is West Blue, upper left North Blue and lower right South Blue? If so: Holy cow! How on earth did Brook and his crew even manage to get into that canal? Just look at it! The entry to Reverse Mountain was dangerous enough in the East Blue but I wonder just how many crews from the West Blue actually make it in there.

Anyway, btt, the only explanation for this is: There is a giant kitty door!!! Kidding. Maybe the Calm Belt in the New World has different properties than in Paradise making it impossible to cross it.
