 Hello and welcome to the Grand Line review your source for everything One Piece and today we are going to be exploring the unexplored to the best of our abilities by placing our focus once more on islands. In particular we want very mysterious islands that we have yet to see and simply must by the end of the series. And at this stage you might be asking yourselves how can there be 10 majorly unexplored islands remaining when we are this close to the end of One Piece. Well you'd probably be surprised because they're actually far far more than that. I had to narrow this list down to 10 that's how many crazy question mark islands However in order to explore them in this video you're going to need your trusty Grand Line Passport and if you don't have one well you can just click this handy red button right here. It looks like it says subscribe but it's actually pronounced as passport application button which does also come with a side effect of granting you regular One Piece content uploaded straight into your YouTube feed and make you an ever-growing member of our grand fleet. So not only is it a win-win it's actually a win-win-win. But with that necessary admin out of the way let's set sail to number 10 We are commencing our journey here to date in the New World and having emerged from the depths of fishlandia we find ourselves with a choice of three islands one of which is Rygen Island. An existence best known in the series for one thing and one thing alone which is that it is being perpetually struck by lightning. And while I suppose that doesn't make it the most desirable of locations to visit much less live on we do know of at least one citizen of Rygen Island and her name is Kasa an elderly woman possessing a smile creepier than that of mad monk Arush himself. And actually Arush is very relevant here because he is one of our only known visitors to this location which occurred pre timeskip. Although in more recent days Mocha was seen camping Rygen Island betting that Luffy would deem this location to be the most dangerous of the three new old starter islands and thus choose to visit it. And I think it's a shame that we never did because I am ever so keen to discover the mysteries behind this absolutely wild location as well as how people manage to you know stay alive there which apparently has something to do with umbrellas. Oh and Rygen Island was also referenced on the area when Nami was briefly reading about it so it's clearly not a throwaway location. Whatever this place is Oda likes it, Oda likes it a lot and I hope that we get to visit it someday. But now we have number nine which will be Karakuri Island and to get here we now have to hop over or under the red line back into paradise to find our mechanical winter wonderland which is probably best known as being the location where Frankie spent two years during the timeskip. So we have currently explored this place much more so than say Rygen Island however it is absolutely impossible to be satisfied with the small bits that we've seen considering that this is the birthplace of King Enigma himself Dr. Vegapunk. But fascinating enough Karakuri Island has relevance beyond that of Vegapunk because it is an integral element in Enos cover story where he travels to the moon and the little cyborg dude thinks he meets on the moon you know Spacey Cosmo and Galaxy well they actually originate from Karakuri Island. Although they were not made by Vegapunk these mechanical marvels were actually created by the now Pasukimi so there is a lot more to this island than you may remember and I would love to explore everything else it has to offer which would undoubtedly consist of fun science shenanigans. But for something far less fun we now head off to number eight Baltigo probably the least aesthetically appealing island we'll be going over today but extraordinarily important as for the large majority of the series it served as the primary headquarters of the revolutionary army and that fact alone has made the rather bare rocky landscape of Baltigo quite an iconic image in fact it even has its own island dish epithet in the series known as the island of white soil which very much reminds me of some kind of salt plain but a fun thing about Baltigo is that this must be undoubtedly one of the most difficult islands in the world to find given that dragon and the revolutionary army were able to remain so successfully hidden for so long like we're talking decades here without going detected by the marines or even the emperors of the sea well in regards to that I can't really tell you vaguely where this is it's in the grand line we do know that but whether it's in paradise or the new world is very much still up in the air with that said I would assume it would be in the new world because it makes sense with various logistics and it would be easier to hide in but that may or may not be irrelevant now because after stowing away Jesus Burgess went and ruined everything and for whatever reason Blackbeard decided to immediately attack the island followed by a slew of cypher pole agents landing as well after being given the island's location assumedly due to some sort of treachery somewhere so Baltigo unfortunately is one of those places that we may simply never see more of much like number seven load star island now you may or may not be aware of the name of this place but it is monumentally important and for the longest time in the series we conflated load star island with Laftail thinking that they were one in the same however load star island is the final island in the new world and the location in which all differing log post paths will eventually land at and that is very different from Laftail which we now know is an island that can only be found via the directives of the road poneglyphs that doesn't make load star island any less special though because it is still ridiculously hard to reach in fact the roger pirates were the first group to do so after being untouched for about 800 years and what's even more notable about load star island is that this is where travelers become alerted to the existence of the poneglyphs the people who made them as well as the final hidden island of Laftail and all of this information is conveyed somehow but this is basically what made roger realize that he was nowhere near the end of his journey and now he had to do it all again in order to find all of the funky hidden content however as flagged by Inaurashion so there is actually no need for the straw hands to visit load star island because they became aware of the poneglyphs incidentally so as sad as it is we may never actually find the technical final island of the ground lion but hopefully we do at the very least get to visit number six being shanks's home island and I will admit this one is a bit tricky because unlike everything we've talked about thus far there's no guarantee that this place actually you know exists it's more or less just assume that shanks as with his emperor counterpart has a stronghold island of his own it is a reasonable thought though because as much as the details of shanks's forces are very much shrouded we do know for a fact that he does have his own territory which was shown in the straw hat grand fleet cover story rather hilariously I might add because basically Bartolomeo landed on an island under the protection of shanks and which point he proceeded to burn the jolly roger of the red-haired pirates and forcibly sold the citizen straw hat related merchandise however this unnamed island is unlikely to be shanks's base and a key contender would probably be this mysterious winter island which has appeared at least twice over a period of time once when ace went to visit shanks in order to thank him for saving luffy and then again during the gyre arc we would see the red-haired pirates in a very similar winter setting although it could also be the mystery jungle island where mihawk came to visit shanks or they could be the same island experiencing different seasons who knows not me and that's why shanks's home island finds itself on this list here today but traveling forwards we have number five which will be the sorbet kingdom and here we have our first unexplored island outside of the ground line because the sorbet kingdom is located firmly in south blue and is best known for being the one-time home of former living being and current cyborg Bartolomeo kuma but not only that kuma was actually the rule of the sorbet kingdom which is a story that 100% needs to be told there's way too many important question marks here because under some sort of undoubtedly tragic circumstances kuma would lose his status of king eventually becoming a warlord of the sea in addition to a member of the revolutionary army the latter of which he assumedly did much earlier than the former sadly though the only other thing we know about the sorbet kingdom is that it does currently have a queen named connie who jewellery bonnie impersonated in order to infiltrate the reverie although because this is bonnie we're talking about there is every chance that she is connie or i suppose the daughter of connie or given her weird powers even the mother of connie bonnie is weird like that but i want to see this delicious sorbet kingdom regardless almost as much as i would like to see number four which will be hachinosu and this island's naming and translation is complicated and we'll get into it as we always do but you may recognize hachinosu as being blackbeard's current base where he conducts his dastardly pirate business in terms of key geographical features it is characterized by a rather subtle looking skull rock and if you look carefully you can see it right about here now as for its name this island is actually known in the fanbase by three different terms the first of which is hachinosu the direct japanese and the second of which would be beehive island which you almost often see in scanlations this is because the word hachinosu literally translates into beehive but sort of not really in this case because it's being used colloquially to refer to a description of rivelling someone with bullets and hence why it has a third name in the official english translation being full of lead island as in full of lead which yes is a more pragmatically correct translation but i just call it hachinosu because it's so much easier and this island holds great significance for reasons that manga readers will be well aware of but i won't be spoiling that here today what i do need to do however is put up a spoiler warning for unexplored island number three though this location is not yet known to anime only watches so please do skip to this time if you don't want some pretty hefty spoilers but for everyone else we will move on to number three which will be the fabled god valley and if i could have my pig of any island visit right here and now i think this would be the one i actually think the god valley is much more mysterious than aftail itself just due to the circumstances with rocks garb the celestial dragons and it's complete an utter disappearance not only from maps but also i guess recorded history something about this location is so well shaking that it needed to be completely erased much like the island of ohara just on an entirely different level and unlike some entries on this list we are definitely not done with this place or to brought it up for a reason and i anxiously await said reason about as much as i anxiously await number two elbaf mostly because i just want to see the damn giants already and yeah sure i guess we've already been to elbaf during big mom's flashback but what we saw was just nothing we got to see the outskirts of a poor elbafian warrior village and what i really want to know is what is in or on top of that tree one of the biggest trees we've ever seen in the series likely based on igdrasil and almost certainly where the giant nobility including prince loki dwell and what's exciting is that when there's a prince you can also assume that there might be some sort of king as well but elbaf is one of those places that is just so thoroughly embedded into the history of one piece every couple of arcs it has another thread tied to it even an unexpected places like any slobby where we met oymo and kashi elbaf is an island that odor has been building up towards for literal decades now and it needs to be covered in some sort of detail before this series ends and i have no doubt it will just like i have no doubt that we will see number one which is obviously laftail i've even said it numerous times throughout this video already and you know what i actually considered not including it on this list here today because it's just so obvious but at the same time it's really hard to deny given that it is the premise of the entire series laftail is our ultimate destination the light in the distance which we continue to chase holding the answers to almost all of the great mysteries that have kept our minds engulfed in one piece it's actually at the point where i feel landing on laftail because it well and truly signifies a full stop to this experience and right now i just want to keep that mystery alive however we will eventually hit it and for the purpose of the greatest unexplored islands in one piece laftail is the obvious number one but what do you guys think please do
