The Caribbean was included in the game because Port Royal was a well-received and popular world in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', and the developers wanted at least one live-action world in ''Kingdom Hearts III''. It is based on the third film, ''At World's End'', rather than the second film, ''Dead Man's Chest'', which ended on a cliffhanger. | The Caribbean was included in the game because Port Royal was a well-received and popular world in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', and the developers wanted at least one live-action world in ''Kingdom Hearts III''.

The world contains two areas that can be freely explored: the High Seas and Port Royal. Underwater exploration is made fully available to [[Sora]], [[Donald]] and [[Goofy]] by diving in any of the ocean segments within the world. Unlike in [[Port Royal]] in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', the world is set during the daytime. | |||
There are a couple of areas unexplorable outside of the main story such as {{nihongo|'''{{a|Davy Jones' Locker}}'''|デイヴィ・ジョーンズ・ロッカー|Deivi Jōnzu Rokkā}}, where souls of the dead are sentenced to eternal damnation, and {{nihongo|'''{{a|Over the Edge}}'''|世界の果て|Sekai no Hate|lit. "The World's End"}}, the waters that separate the locker from the land of the living. | |||

{{nihongo|'''{{a|The High Seas}}'''|カリブ海|Karibu-kai|lit. "Caribbean Sea"}} are a vast ocean area consisting of 10 explorable islands. The map is separated into the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Northern Waters}}'''|北海域|Hokkaiiki|lit. "Northern Ocean Region"}}, the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Southern Waters}}'''|南海域|Nankaiiki|lit. "Southern Ocean Region"}}, and the {{nihongo|'''Port Royal Waters'''|ポートロイヤル近海|Pōto Roiyaru Kinkai|lit. "Port Royal Coastal Waters"}} around Port Royal's entry point. The islands are visualized on the map aboard the ''{{c|Leviathan|ship}}'' or ''[[Black Pearl]]'', but must first be traveled to on ship to be checked off. Following this, they can then be accessed by utilizing the fast-travel feature. | |||
The island that must be explored during the story is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Huddled Isles}}'''|群島|Guntō|lit. "Archipelago"}}. The island's entry point features a small resting area which leads to a maze-like undersea cavern called the {{nihongo|'''{{a| | The island that must be explored during the story is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Huddled Isles}}'''|群島|Guntō|lit.

Deep within the cavern is a large cave structure where the Lightning Angler is fought. Directly following this area is a current which leads a large above the surface cave where [[Battlegate 10]] is located. | ||
Traveling north during the story leads to {{nihongo|'''{{a|Shipwreck Cove}}'''|難破船入り江|Nanpasen Irie}}, where the final battle against [[Davy Jones]] and the ''Flying Dutchman'' takes place. However, the cove itself does not appear within the game, and the area becomes closed off afterwards. | Traveling north during the story leads to {{nihongo|'''{{a|Shipwreck Cove}}'''|難破船入り江|Nanpasen Irie}}, where the final battle against [[Davy Jones]] and the ''Flying Dutchman'' takes place.

On the east side of the port are the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Docks}}'''|港|Minato|lit. "Harbor"}} where the Leviathan is docked. The {{nihongo|'''{{a|Dockway Path}}'''|港へ続く道|Minato e Tsudzuku Michi|lit.

Continuing west of this area is the town bridge and waterfall, which leads to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Fort}}'''|砦|Toride}}. Within this area are the prison cells where various pirates are contained, as well as featuring members of [[Cutler Beckett]]'s navy. At the outside-center of the fort is where the [[Watermelon Flan]] is located. Directly north of this area is where the fort's cannons are located in addition to the Port's symbolic bell. | {{nihongo|'''{{a|Port Royal}}'''|ポートロイヤル|Pōto Roiyaru}} is greatly expanded upon from its appearance in ''Kingdom Hearts II''.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy sail a raft for fun, but fall off a waterfall into an abyss below. To their surprise, their fall dropped them into a vast desert. Trudging on, they see the ''Pearl'' in the distance and are soon joined by [[Jack Sparrow]], who asks for help in catching his beloved ship, which is being carried off by magic crabs. | Sora, Donald, and Goofy sail a raft for fun, but fall off a waterfall into an abyss below.

Sailing to escape the Locker, Tia Dalma reveals Jack is after a box that can protect him from Jones for not honoring their deal; it contains Jones' [[heart]], which gives whoever has the chest leverage over him. | ||
[[Vexen]] and [[Luxord]] are there as well. Vexen is puzzled by how Davy Jones can live without a heart, believing it holds the secret to perfecting his [[replica]]s. Luxord tells him to reign in his curiosity, and allow him to collect the chest as per their orders. | [[Vexen]] and [[Luxord]] are there as well.
