Well, that's a good plan. [East Blue is the safest waters in all the seas.] There's a lot to see out there. Probably the best way to start exploring.

Grand Line? Mmm... now those are tricky waters. The islands are all jewels and interesting and strange in their own right... but you need to be careful out there. Regular compasses don't work there for one... you need something special called a Log Pose.
