THE NEW WORLD!!!!!!!

[SandMan]

I hope Luffy DOES find more crewmates to complete the "10 man crew" he planned on having at the start of his journey. A mermaid as a strawhat doesn't sound too bad to me.

 

[scarletcrimson]

Man i vaguely remember luffy saying he wants a 10 man crew, where was that again
besides that, if the new world is the second half of the grand line does that mean its beyond the giant gate and the calm belt(forgot the name of the gate) and is the gate the only way to get into the second half of the grand line, and is the merman island in the second half of the grand line
The marine HQ base is there, and so are the yonkou and so, i assume, are were most of the seven warlords are, so if thats the case then if once is gonna end itll probably be there after he gets to ratflel which is also there, btw where is the world government HQ located, probably there with everything else

if so many things are there i don't think the new world is unexplored, its just probably that the only people that are strong enough to enter there stay there because they know thats the place where they can achieve their goals, i also think Dragon and the rebellion are there

If I'm not mistaken, it was in the very first chapter.

It does seem that the new world is the latter half of Grand Line, whether it is vaster than the first half remains to be seen.

I also agree with scarletcrimson saying that the new world is not unexplored. I would consider it as the area of the sea where only the REALLY REALLY strong can survive. But of course, only Oda knows for sure.

i think the new world is the other half of the grand line

Exactly everything you said is true
So in a way I think that there might also have to be a special way of entering it or I could be wrong.
BUt when are they going to get there after the Merman Island saga?[br]Posted on: November 26, 2006, 10:11:54 AM_________________________________________________And yes FReakzin the second half is the New World

 

[ketwaroo]

hmm

*leaps blindly into the discussion*

... one question that always bugged me is.. where exactly is the end of the Grand Line?

well back on topic then.. my 2 cents:

"Shin Sekai", The New World.

The name may indeed show that it is the least explored ocean in the One Piece world. before Begabanks' invention(and i remind you that only marines use it at this point) the only way to explore the Grand Line is to enter via Reverse Mountain.

To explore the New world, you'd have to go the WHOLE first half and then possibly up a second reverse mountain. Most Crews and most ships wouldn't be able to endure that.

Since people like Montblanc Norland are quite rare in the current pirate age, the New world must be mostly unexplored.

And since it is the sea where the One Piece is hidden only the most powerful pirates venture there. and equally powerful marine forces must hunt them there..

 

[scarletcrimson]

yes but is the red line just another huge landmass where (i guess another reverse mountain) is or is it something else altogether, and what of the huge gate and the calm belt are they just another area on the first half of the grand line or are they on the second, there is still much to be revealed i hope after they get through merman island we get more answers

there is a pattern isnt there, i mean its like this
-luffy crew beats island(beats evil pirate/marine w/e and claims nakama maybe)
-something about OP universe is revealed piece by piece by either someone telling them or we see clip of some meeting between other main characters at some undisclosed location
- i assume if he gets to merman island hell meet jimbei and he will be evil guy to beat but each time they reveal something it seems to leave more questions than answers does anyone feel the same

 

[Jooki]

yeah maybe the op world isn't round ;D

 

[ketwaroo]

nah, there was a map like the one i drew somehwere in the manga.

the Red Line is a continent that circled the entire world. and the Grand Line perpendicular to it.

the two put together divide the oceans into East, North, West and South Blue. The One piece world is round.
but Gol D Roger is not Columbus. The pirate king can't be compared to a lost trader who corrupted a western continent with european culture and diseases.

but it would be strange, right? that Raftel was on the otherside of the first Reverse Mountain...

 

[scarletcrimson]

haha yes right on the other side of the second reverse mountain hmm, maybe thats how they get back home to east blue lol

 

[Liqiud]

yes but is the red line just another huge landmass where (i guess another reverse mountain)

The Red Line is a vast continent that circles the globe from north to south and functions as a Prime Meridian. These two Lines divide the two oceans of the world into four seas or Blues: North Blue, East Blue, West Blue, and South Blue. The Grand Line can only be accessed at two points on the Red Line: Reverse Mountain and the Holy Land of Mariejoa. The first is where the four major currents of the Blues merge together to form the Grand Line while the second is the site of the World Government.

A bit I pieced together courtesy of Wiki.

or is it something else altogether, and what of the huge gate and the calm belt are they just another area on the first half of the grand line or are they on the second, there is still much to be revealed i hope after they get through merman island we get more answers

The huge gate is called the Gate of Justice and leads to two places Impel Down(a maximum security prison that's underwater) and the Navy Headquarters.

 

[scarletcrimson]

hmm i didnt know about the holy land of mariejoa and that the world gov is there, well that makes sense i guess no pirates could get there,

so the gate of justice, impel down, and the marine hq are all the first half of the grand line then

if thats true then it puts things into perspective also using that drawing earlier by ketwaroo

but wait doesnt that mean that technically reverse mountain was a piece of the red line and the only way to pass through to get to the second half of grand line would be to pass through the holy land, and wat i said before was true that raftel would be just on the other side of the reverse mountain but impossible to get to unless you go all the way around through the grand line

 

[Liqiud]

Impel Down's at the other side of the gate as well as Navy HQ so they're in the second half. And yeah, it's been stated somewhere that Raftel was on the other side of reverse mountain..

 

[otaclub_87]

[scarletcrimson]

hmm they have a captain; sniper; navigator; doctor; a swordsman; a chef; a historian; and a shipbuilder; i guess they just need a helsman or something maybe another long range fighter or something, someone who like shoots water lol
