      Ok guys, I seriously need some help since my knowledge of the english language is not good enough to determine a good and catchy naming myself. I´ll give a "short" explenation of the situation.

      I´m doing the The One Piece World section at the main site and need some input here. The structure is nowhere near finished so you don´t need to tell me that´s incomplete. I have a what I consider very well worked out concept and I will get to it step by step. So let´s not talk about the structure until I didn´t take it to the finish.

      Ok the problem is as follows. I need a good name to classify the entire space under the sea. There´s three different environments in the OP world. The surface, the sky and depths of the seas.

      The first one can easily be classified as Blue Sea. There are different places like East Blue, West Blue or the Grand Line but still they all fall under Blue Sea. The second one is the Sky Ocean. We have the White Sea and the White White Sea there. It´s two different sea´s but they are part of the larger construct which is the Sky Ocean. Just like West Blue and East Blue etc. make the Blue Sea.

      Well and of course there´s the sea below the surface. So far that place got only shown in Hatchi´s side adventure. We´ve seen different people and creatures aswell as different places. It´s not much what we´ve seen but it´s enough to establish the fact that this is a totally different place since they do exists but aren´t shown on any Blue Sea map anywhere.

      And with Impel Down which lies under the surface of the Blue Sea and with all the theories about the Merman islands and sunken islands there´s a chance that the depth´s of the sea´s will get featured in the main story at some point.

      Therefore I´m searching for a decent name to classify that place but I as I said, I´m not good with naming stuff since my english skills aren´t good enough to determine whether something sounds proper or not.

      To make a long story short, I´d like to hear anyone who´s interested out on what they consider good names for this environment. The (partwise crappy) names I came up with so far are:

      • Sub Ocean
      • Sub Sea
      • Deep Ocean
      • Deep Sea
      • Ocean Floor

      I´m not to happy with either of them. So if there´s any better please let me know. And one of them isn´t too bad either then just let me know. The help would be gladly appreciated. 😊

        I suppose there are many things to describe it, the only thing i can think to describe 'under' the water would be..

        under the sea/ocean.
        or, below the water's surface

        Other things like deep sea.. etc could mean under the surface but could be confused for life on the sea, which you don't want.

          You could use "the area below sea level", being that "below sea level" is a somewhat common phrase. Or your "ocean floor" or "deep sea" would be just fine.

            Well, considering that there's a White White Sea, you could always call it the Blue Blue Sea.

            I think the proper scientific name is the Demersal Zone, but I'm not sure on that…

            Complicating things since 2009.

              @Ubiq:

              Well, considering that there's a White White Sea, you could always call it the Blue Blue Sea.

              Technically the White White Sea is just a sea in the Sky Ocean like East Blue is a Sea in the Blue Sea.

              I think the proper scientific name is the Demersal Zone, but I'm not sure on that…

              Well that doesn´t sound catchy enough. It has to fit with the other two you know. Demersal Zone sounds a bit unfitting if you put it next to Blue Sea and Sky Ocean.

              Thanks for the responses though guys. I think I´ll go with Ocean Floor then. I completely forgot that this name was actually mentioned in the mange (in Hachi´s side adventure). That´s why I added it later on. I think Ocean Floor quite describes it. I mean caves, buildings etc. where sub sea civilasations would live have to be on the floor right? They can´t be somewhere in the middle between the floor and the surface.

              I think Blue Sea, Sky Ocean and Ocean Floor sounds good. Or is there something even better? :huh:

                sea bed? that's a term commonly used to describe the ocean floor.

                  Hmm sea bed sounds good. In fact it is even very good. Now I´m a bit undecided between Sea Bed and Ocean Floor. Hmm, I think I should sleep this one over. Thanks again.

                      Erm, it´s Mirrorball Island. That can´t be on the Red Line.
