'''The Caribbean''' is a world in ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]''. It is based on the Disney film series ''Pirates of the Caribbean''. It is an expansion to the ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' world of [[Port Royal]], appending the sea and isles surrounding the port, as well as the purgatory realm of Davy Jones' Locker.

==Development==
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 primarily on the third film, ''At World's End'', rather than the second film, ''Dead Man's Chest'', which ended on a cliffhanger.

==Settings and Areas==
===''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.

====The High Seas====
[[File:Running Out of Sea 01 KHIII.png|thumb|left|225px|An overview of the High Seas.]]
{{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|Undersea Cavern}}'''|海底洞窟|Kaitei Dōkutsu}}. 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.

The other islands which make up the High Seas are:

* {{nihongo|'''{{a|Sandbar Isle}}'''|砂の島|Suna no Shima|lit. "Sand Island"}}: A ring-shaped island with an explorable underwater region in the center. An additional elevated explorable level and diving section are located on the island's north point. Located in the Southern Waters.
* {{nihongo|'''{{a|Ship's End}}'''|船の墓場|Fune no Hakaba|lit. "Ship Graveyard"}}: An island with a small entry point and a large underwater section comprised of several shipwrecks. Located in the Southern Waters.
* {{nihongo|'''{{a|Exile Island}}'''|流人の孤島|Runin no Kotō|lit. "Exile's Lonely Island"}}: A small, circular island in the Southern Waters.
* {{nihongo|'''{{a|Horseshoe Island}}'''|馬蹄島|Bateijima}}: A large island composed of a wide white sand beach and a large stone arch behind it. Located in the Southern Waters.
* {{nihongo|'''{{a|Isle of Luck}}'''|幸運の小島|Kōun no Kojima|lit. "Small Island of Good Luck"}}: A small, circular island with a large inaccessible rock structure behind it. Located in the Northern Waters.
* {{nihongo|'''{{a|Isla Verdemontaña}}'''|緑の島|Midori no Shima|lit. "Green Island"}}: A large, verdant island infested with [[Powerwild]]s. Heading to the island's central region leads to several cliff ascents leading to an area overlooking the island's entry point. Located in the Northern Waters.
* {{nihongo|'''{{a|Forsaken Isle}}'''|北端の島|Hokutan no Shima|lit. "Northernmost Isle"}}: A very small circular island which serves as a resting area. Located in the Northern Waters. 
* {{nihongo|'''{{a|Isla de los Mástiles}}'''|棘岩の島|Togegan no Shima|lit. "Thorn Rock Island"}}: A large island with exploration on the upper level's of the island's east region. A small cave is located on the west side. Located in the Northern Waters.
* {{nihongo|'''{{a|Confinement Island}}'''|監獄島|Kangokujima|lit. "Prison Island"}}: A small island in which the explorable crab infested-area is entirely surrounded by a circular rock structure. Located in the Northern Waters.
* {{nihongo|'''{{a|Gateway of Regret}}'''|後悔の門|Kōkai no Mon}}: A small rock structure used to hang pirates. Sora's battle against the [[Raging Vulture]] occurs above this area. Located in the Port Royal Waters.

[[File:The Long Game 02 KHIII.png|thumb|right|225px|Sora and party about to dock the Port Royal.]]
====Port Royal====
{{nihongo|'''{{a|Port Royal}}'''|ポートロイヤル|Pōto Roiyaru}} is greatly expanded upon from its appearance in ''Kingdom Hearts II''. 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. "Road to the Harbor"}} north of the docks leads to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Settlement}}'''|高台|Kōdai|lit. "High Ground"}}. This area consists of housing structures, with the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Seaport}}'''|波止場|Hatoba|lit. "Wharf"}} on the south end. 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.

==Story==
===''Kingdom Hearts III''===
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.

Riding the ''Pearl'' to the shore, they meet [[Will Turner|Will]], [[Elizabeth Swann|Elizabeth]], [[Joshamee Gibbs|Gibbs]], [[Tia Dalma]] and a revived [[Barbossa]];  [[Cutler Beckett]] is taking over the sea, blackmailing [[Davy Jones]] to kill pirates for him. 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.

After a green flash at sunrise, the ''Pearl'' returns to the living world. Suddenly, the ship is attacked by the [[Raging Vulture]]. Once Sora takes out the [[Heartless]], he falls into the sea. Donald and Goofy wake him later, revealing their friends left them and Jack on an island. Finding a new ship, the ''Leviathan'', hidden in the island, they set sail and are surprised by a ship sailed by Luxord. Luxord asks for a race, to win information about the chest. Despite losing, Luxord manages to trick Jack into revealing the chest is on the ''Flying Dutchman'' and disappears.

The ''Leviathan'' docks at Port Royal for repairs; oddly, white crabs are needed for it. Once the ship is fixed, Jack reveals he's a copy sent by the sea goddess to help; the real him and their friends are facing Beckett's armada at Shipwreck Cove.

By this time, Jack was taken hostage by Jones and Tia Dalma, the sea goddess in mortal form, was released by the pirates in the hope she would help. Sora encourages his friends to keep fighting. The ''Pearl'' and the ''Dutchman'' enter a whirlpool, followed by the ''Leviathan''. Luxord appears on Sora's ship, wishing to take the chest despite Sora telling him it's useless to the [[Real Organization XIII|Organization]]. Regardless, Luxord summons the [[Kraken]] to restrain the ''Pearl''. Freeing the ''Pearl'', Sora, Donald and Goofy board the ''Dutchman'', where they help Jack fight Jones.

Will and Elizabeth join the fight, but Will is fatally stabbed by Jones. Sora, Donald and Goofy distract Jones, allowing Jack to help Will stab Jones' heart in the chest. Leaving Will behind, everyone returns to the ''Pearl''; moments later, the ''Dutchman'' resurfaces with Will in command. Both ships fire on the ''Endeavour'', killing Beckett and ending his reign of terror. Gibbs reveals Will was saved by taking on Jones' curse, but at the cost of having to ferry souls to the afterlife in exchange for one day ashore every ten years. Jack assures Sora that one day is enough for hearts to connect.

Later, after [[Xehanort]]'s defeat, Elizabeth watches as Will leaves to carry out his duty. In Port Royal, Jack and Gibbs watch as the ''Black Pearl'' sails away.

==Character Design==
Unlike their previous visits to [[Port Royal]], where they retained their default designs, Sora and company wear proper pirate attire while visiting The Caribbean. Sora dons captain's garb as the de facto "leader", while Donald and Goofy wear crewman clothes. They also receive much more photorealistic textures and details.
