Middle Town is the gathering hub of the
First Sea: a crossroads island set right in the middle of the sea, packed with shops and useful
NPCs. This is where you start the Son Quest at
Robotmega for the
Slayer Skin of the
Dark Blade, where you modify your
Aura stage, where you buy fruits, swords, guns and boats, and where you board for the
Second Sea. Since Update 30, it is also the headquarters of the
Island Secrets, with the
Secrets Master and the teleporter in the central building, and three secrets of its own. The boss
The Saw appears regularly near the fountain.
How to get it
The island is in the center of the First Sea and serves as a base. To leave for the Second Sea from here: defeat the
Ice Admiral, then talk to the
Experienced Captain.
What changed with Update 30
Middle Town benefits greatly from the overhaul of the First Sea:
- The
Blox Fruit Gacha sets up here. It was in the
Jungle all along, now you come to Middle Town to spin. - The Secrets Master takes place in the central building, on the first floor balcony. He's the one who tells you about Island Secrets and the next boss to awaken in the sea.
- The island secrets teleporter is in that same central building.
- The island has secrets of its own, three like the others, and becomes the natural starting point to dive into the 40 Island Secrets.
- The developers' house went from a green roof to a red roof.
The island's three secrets
| Secret | In a nutshell |
|---|---|
| Early Access | Break the window above the broken cart next to the Experienced Captain, wait for the tester Janus to come out of their room, talk to them, grab the Rear Door Key next to the |
| Lookout Duty | Talk to the Experienced Captain and pick the second option: either he sends you away for later, or a mini-game starts. Memorize the sail colors of passing ships and answer correctly on all four waves (4/4). Failed? You can redo it. |
| X Marks the Spot | Hit the island's trees, barrels, lamps and boxes with M1s: the one hiding the map shakes. Follow the map, collect the other pieces until it is complete, dig up the treasure with M1s and beat the 2 to 4 skeletons that spawn. |
Janus is not hunted just any way (rule published 14 September 2026). The game rolls for his spawn every 30 minutes from UTC midnight, with a chance that climbs through the day; he comes only once a day and stays 30 minutes. Above all, his spawn is global: server hopping does strictly nothing, unlike almost every other secret. Aim for the end of the UTC day and stay put.
Each secret awards 5 secret levels. The full walkthrough and screenshots are on the Island Secrets page.
What you'll find there
| NPC | Boss |
|---|---|
| The Saw |
Other NPCs have come and gone but are no longer there: the
Event Shops,
Santa Claws, the
Magic Elf, and the
Death King.
The developers' house
The house with the red roof is home to two NPCs worth knowing:
- Robotmega, who starts the Son Quest for the Slayer Skin of the Dark Blade.
- The Aura Editor, who lets you change your Aura stage.
Careful: this house had a green roof before Update 30. The First Sea rework repainted it red, and many guides still give the old colour.
The Tester Dorm. A second building hides a secret area, the dorm of the tester Janus: it is right above the Experienced Captain, and you get in by breaking the window above the broken cart, with
Flash Step. Janus is not always there: their spawn is the longest wait of all the secrets, and they only stay for 30 minutes at a time. Once you have talked to them, the Rear Door Key appears in Robotmega's house, next to the Aura Editor, and opens the rear door of that same house. Fun detail: Janus wears two skins at once.
The Secrets Master and the teleporter
Both are in the island's central building.
- The Secrets Master stands on the first floor balcony. Visit him during the final half hour of every hour (ten minutes before 25 September 2026; the source's three pages have agreed since the 26th): he tells you which boss will awaken at the start of the next hour, and on which island. As long as the Early Access secret is not done, he keeps a dialogue option about a "helpful secret about Middle Town".
- The teleporter takes you to the other islands of the First Sea, but an island only unlocks as a destination once its three secrets are completed (Middle Town itself is not a destination). The rule was locked in by the fix of 7 September 2026.
The Saw
- It appears near the fountain every 1 h 15, announced in chat by: "The Saw has spawned in the game! You have 15 minutes to defeat him and possibly get a rare reward!"
- You have 15 minutes to defeat it.
- Once defeated, it has a small chance to drop the
Shark Saw, and gives a decent amount of Beli and EXP in any case.
The port and island
- The port has three docks to the east and three to the west, for six total: it's the largest port in the First Sea, and you can spawn up to six boats there at once.
- The island is almost completely devoid of grass, except for a few areas. In the center, two buildings and a courtyard surrounded by thirteen buildings, with a fountain in the middle. The stone docks are on the left and right edges, rocky beaches at the top and bottom.
Trivia
- The two dome buildings in Middle Town are the only examples of dome architecture in the entire game.
- Middle Town's appeal lies mainly in its density of important NPCs, some exclusive to events.
- Since Update 29.0, there is no longer a house in front of the Blox Fruit Dealer: it went away with the
Fish Fights arenas. Another building occupied the spot before the fish fights, and it has never been restored since their removal.
