The Calm Belts are two areas that are just north and south of the Grand Line.
These areas almost never have ocean currents or winds blowing, and are also nesting grounds for Sea Kings.[1] They are very effective barriers for those trying to enter the Grand Line. The Straw Hat Pirates encountered the Sea Kings and were caught on top of one of their heads after the crew inadvertently entered one of the Calm Belts. The crew and their ship were sneezed away by a larger Sea King, which implies that the Sea Kings do not stay in the Calm Belts consistently.
It was revealed that the Marines cross the Calm Belts by using Kairoseki lining at the bottom of their ships so Sea Kings will not notice a ship above them.[2]
Notable Places
Amazon Lily in the Calm Belt.
The island of Amazon Lily is one of the few locations which is known to be within one of the Calm Belts. Its location within a Calm Belt has historically guarded the island from intruders.[3] However, this protection has degraded somewhat due to the Marines' newly invented technique of shielding their boats from Sea Kings with Kairoseki. Silvers Rayleigh is the only known person so far to have reached Amazon Lily by swimming and without much hindrance by the Sea Kings.
Another natural island in the Calm Belt is the island of Rusukaina, which is located northwest of Amazon Lily.
The Great Gaol, Impel Down, is built in the middle of the Calm Belt, upon the seafloor. Because of the heavy security and Sea Kings, it is almost impossible to break in or out of it. However, Shiki the Golden Lion managed to escape by cutting off his shackled legs, and more recently, Monkey D. Luffy slipped into Impel Down and managed to escape with 241 prisoners.
Captain "Calico" Yorki of the Rumbar Pirates is said to have attempted to flee the Grand Line via one of the Calm Belts after he and several other crewmates contracted a deadly disease. Their fate is unknown but it is said that they perished before escaping that Calm Belt.
