The three Endpoints refer to three islands in the New World which each sit above a gigantic magma chamber, keeping the molten rock sealed underground. Should all three islands be destroyed, the vents that connect the three magma chambers would become active, and the seal will be undone, releasing enough magma to wash over the entire New World and everyone and everything living there.[1]
Due to the hazardous potential, the World Government hid the Endpoints' existence, creating cover-up stories and faking geological reports, so only the highest ranking officials of the Government, such as Sengoku, Garp and Z, knew the truth about their existence before Z's plan. Under the encouragement of the Government, the worldly masses dismiss the Endpoints as myths and legends.[1]
