One Piece Geography

[Don Quichotte De Flamingo]

When Nami wants to achieve that world map, she has to visit all the Blues after her adventure with the crew.

[Nidhoeggr]

Plus isn't there explicitly no world map? Isn't it Nami's dream to chart the world accurately?

I vaguely remember Oda stating that he'll publish a world map once OP is finished.

[Chopper Madness]

have we been able to figure out where this is in the onepiece world with what we know?

It appears to be a massive landmass with a long river system or series of canals running across it. The largest area that the Straw Hats have visited is Alabasta and this doesn't look anything like it so it's unlikely to be a place that we've seen much of it.

At a guess, it's a portion of the Redline; probably the area surrounding Mariejoa.

[Md-Martin]

Also much more of the Grandline, as they only traveled down one path. Also, assuming the series doesn't end with Luffy's execution or something of the sort, we can assume it'll probably end on a light-hearted note, such as them heading off to another adventure. Cut to timeskip years later, with Nami's full map.

[Strawhat Chan]

My friend was rereading the manga and figured out a few things. Like, what route the Strawhats took and why they didn't change to another route at all.

Igaram sent the Strawhats and Vivi with the Loge Pose and told them that it will take them two or three stops to get to Arabasta.

Igaram: While the Baroque Works agents are following me...
...you will get on their ship and take the normal course to Alabasta.
I have never done it myself, but I believe you can follow the Log two or three times to get there.

How do we know what islands that route has?
When Robin met them, she offered them an Eternal Pose to an uninhabited island right before Arabasta.

Miss All-Sunday: Now you can skip all of that.
That needle points to the uninhabited island right before Alabasta.

Then they arrived to Little Garden, which is the second island of that route. So that uninhabited island must be the 3rd or the 4th island, as Igaram said that there'll be two or three stops before Arabasta.

How do we know that Skypiea is next, after Arabasta?

crocus: Are you sure you want to choose Whiskey Peak entirely on their behalf, boy?
There's only one place where you can decide where to head next, and that's here.

Luffy: If we don't like it the first time, we'll just sail all the way through and start over.

So no matter what, Arabasta will always point to Skypiea.

How do we know that their route looks like? Oda drew two maps so far, both are pretty much the same despite having a gap of 400 chapters between the chapters they were shown in.

Spoiler:

There're 8 islands in that route:
1) Whisky Peak, 2) Little Garden, 3) Drum Island, 4) the uninhabitated island, 5) Arabasta, 6) Skypiea, 7) LRLL and 8) Water 7
But he's not sure about Drum. It could come in after Little Garden and before the uninhabitated island or it could be that small island of the route left to our route because it's on the way to Arabasta.

Jaya is outside of their route and they got there thanks to the Saruyama brothers.

So, what do you think?

[brennen.exe]

I wouldn't put much any stock into that map Oda sketched out. I'm sure it isn't meant to accurately depict the amount of islands and location of islands on the paths-- though Oda is certainly capable of forcing it. The main reason you shouldn't use it as a reference is because we already passed it up and it was never relevant. We won't be returning to that portion of the Grand Line, especially to explore, so the accuracy of the paths and other options can never really be explored or verified. It's a nice theory, with some kinks in it-- for example, Drum was found because they deviated from the path-- but beyond that...? Have you taken a look at the discussion in this thread or the timeline thread? You'd probably find them both interesting.

[Strawhat Chan]

Well, yeah, it doesn't change much but it still interesting to know that Oda probably thought of it when he drew the map.

[Hinscher]

The strawhats route was all screwed up. You mention Igaram and his 3-4 stops, he "BELIEVES" This is in no way definitive as being fact.

All it proves is that Arabasta was on their original path they took.

So lets say the 7 paths are labeled 1-7. They took say path 3. We know that these islands are on path 3, IF Igaram was right.

3. Whiskey Peak, Little Garden, Arabasta.

That is it. The rest could be on other paths. They blindly found drum, so it could have been on a different path and then they got back on 3 by following the eternal pose to arabasta.

Then in regards to skypiea, the pose wasn't originally pointing there, it was pointing somewhere else. Could this somewhere else have been Jaya? We don't know. I think it might have been, cause otherwise how would the log change. I think it was originally pointing at Jaya, but the ship falling somehow tweaked the pose to point at the other half of Jaya. Then on Skypiea the log set to the next island Long Ring, then on to Water 7, then Fishman Island.

BUT that is pure guessing. We don't know if the log wouldn't have changed if they would have ended up at Jaya or some other island. We also don't know if letting the log pose adjust on Jaya and Skypiea both lead to the same place. They were once one and same, but they aren't now, so Skypiea may lead to somewhere that Jaya doesn't.

I didn't remember that so I went back to read. http://www.mangareader.net/103-2325-...apter-218.html after Arabastra its pointing is horizontal to horizon, then a few pages later the ship falls and immediately after the needle of the log pose is pointing up. http://www.mangareader.net/103-2325-...apter-218.html

Before the ship fell it log pose was pointing to Jaya, then after ship fell it pointed upwards. What I think happened is the ship either had rocks from Upper yard on it so when it fell the pose registered it or when ship landed the waves moved the Merry Go around alot and it got directly under Skypedia there fore Upper Yard, so then the pose registered it instead of Jaya.

BUT that is pure guessing. We don't know if the log wouldn't have changed if they would have ended up at Jaya or some other island. We also don't know if letting the log pose adjust on Jaya and Skypiea both lead to the same place. They were once one and same, but they aren't now, so Skypiea may lead to somewhere that Jaya doesn't.

Sorry that part doesn't make sense. When the log pose was introduced, it was siad its the mineral makeup of the island is what gives it its unique magnetic setting. Since Upper Yard in Skypeia was once part of Jaya, it has the same mineral makeup and same magnetic reading, and there fore point to same island after it.

[RPG KING]

do you guys think the next island gonna be a summer island?

[Kishido]

Well this whitestrom... Was it ever mentioned before and what do you think... Will it play a role later on?

Maybe this is the reason why Laboon was seperated from his group

[RomanceDawn]

do you guys think the next island gonna be a summer island?

It's anyone's guess at this point.

As for the White Strom chances are we'll here about it again when they have to travel under water the next time.

[chibi15]

Nami was on Weatheria for 2 YEARS, how come her log pose still points to Fisherman Island?

[Kaku-Kaku Fruit]

Weatheria was just a cloud island, wasn't it? I don't think it had a charge like Skypeia (The logpose was pointing to God's Varse).

[Luca_Verbatim]

This is my idea of Grand Line:

The route taken by Strawhats:
from Whisky Peek to Little Garden they follow the log pose, later to Drum (without follow the log, but by chance); From Drum to Arabasta.. they follow an Eternal Pose. in Arabasta the magnetism is recording and carry on until water 7

Considerations:
1) It is not sure where either someone tells Marijoa center red line.
2) The archipelago Sabaody is exactly in the middle?
3)Marineford is near to the archipelago Sabaody?
4) the 3 islands are located on the right government of the Grand Line, one of these Impel Down is on the Calm Belt.
5) Marijoa is located exactly above Marineford
6) Enies Lobby is approximately 3-4 hours from Water 7
7) if water 7 is near EL which at the same time is near calm belt then the route chosen by the crew is the right most one

[ponx]

Let's see if I remember this correctly
1. Nobody has ever stated that Mariejoa is right at the center of Red line. But Hody did say by taking Fishman Island (which is directly below Mariejoa), they are taking the center of the world. Although we can't be sure whether he meant figuratively or literally.
2. No confirmation on that one wither
3. Yes, it was repeatedly stated that it wouldn't take long to reach Shabondy from Marineford
4. I don't really remember if it was said that the 3 Govt. Islands was on the right side
5. I don't think so. As far as I know, Mariejoa is right above Fishman Island, an we don't actually see any sign of the Red Line anywhere near Marineford
6. Yep
7. Umm. Don't really know about this one

[Strawhat Chan]

^
All the maps of the Red Line, Marineford, Shabondy show it as it is in the right Calm Belt.

And Drum must be on the Strawhats' route since Ace was expecting them to arrive there in 10 days.

I don't think
From little garden to Arabasta use Eternal Pose, but nami is ill, and seeking an island...finding Drum Island!
Ace could not foresee that they were going to Drum...
The obvious solution is the one I described
