This is a pretty serious oversight on your part here. Do you not remember

Regarding the discussion on the world map, I'm pretty sure the 1999 version's is supposed to have the cut off bottoms of continents/surrounding islands at the top (if only partially), like can happen on maps of our world. They thus aren't "extra islands", but it's still wrong and needs stuff from later in the manga to explain why.
