Bluestar Confirmed: One Piece’s Planet Name and the Mystery of Its Bridges

The series introduced the name "Bluestar" in earlier events within its storyline. A group of attentive fans noted that "Bluestar" appeared earlier in Enel's cover story from Chapter 472 which turns this announcement into official lore confirmation rather than a novel disclosure.

The Japanese expression "青色の星" (Aoiro no Hoshi) translates to "Bluestar" or "Blueplanet" since "hoshi" (星) describes any sky-visible celestial body beyond an actual astronomical star. During the same SBS question, Oda responded to an inquiry regarding the bridges, which Kozuki Oden and the Roger Pirates observed in Chapter 967.

Through his clarification that the bridge seen by Kozuki Oden and the Roger Pirates was not Tequila Wolf, he suggested that there is a mysterious aspect to the different bridges found within the world. The discovery of four bridges in Chapter 1125 introduces an additional dimension to the complex geography of the One Piece planet.

Bluestar reflects the ongoing oceanic themes throughout the series. The One Piece world includes major oceanic regions called the Blues (North Blue, East Blue, South Blue, and West Blue) as well as the Grand Line and the New World. The world of Bluestar fits its name by having minimal land surrounded by enormous ocean expanses.

Fans who have followed the series since its beginning value these small details because they carry significant importance. Throughout the series' final saga, every detail revealed by Oda brings together the massive puzzle he started constructing 25 years ago.
