One Piece fan theories, especially as the series delves deeper into the Final Saga, are constantly circulating in the community. Furthermore, it seems that Oda has almost given fans enough information to finally begin to piece together the mysteries of the One Piece world.
One theory in particular proposes to explain how the massive stone wall, the Red Line , in One Piece actually came into being. While many assumed it was a natural quirk, this theory may have an alternative solution. Rather than being a natural structure, this theory implies that the Red Line is an artificial construct created by the World Government.
One Piece and its strange geography
In the book, the geography of the world, while quite strange, is relatively simple. The world itself is divided into four seas: the North Blue, the South Blue, the East Blue, and the West Blue. Outside these seas, dividing the entire world, are two vast territories: the Red Line and the Grand Line, which travel completely around the world.
However, running perpendicular to the Grand Line is a massive stone wall, called the Red Line. This virtually impenetrable stone wall is home to some interesting locations, including Reverse Mountain, the entrance to the Grand Line, and the capital of the World Government, the Sacred City, Mary Geoise. Outside of this location, the wall itself is largely uninhabited, making it simply a large expanse of stone that acts as a natural barrier, separating the four main seas into quadrants.
Red Line Origin Theory
Thus, despite appearing natural, a theory posted on Reddit by loulou1s explains that the mountain may have been artificially created by the World Nobles themselves in the past. The post explains that, after winning a war in One Piece , Imu and the World Government created the Red Lines as a means of dividing the world to make it easier to contain each nation and as a way to elevate the Sacred City above all others. Initially, being made from the remains of the blood-soaked earth after the first war, this location was nicknamed the Red Line.
On the other hand, with the revelation of the Ancient Giants who were eliminated in the Elbaf Arc, the theorist believes these giants were forced to create the Red Line for the World Government. Thus, from here on, upon creating the Red Line, the giants who were forced to build it eventually died, completing their task, explaining the absence of the Ancient Giants from One Piece in the modern era. However, the theory goes on to explain that if Luffy eventually destroys the Red Line, another popular theory, he will free the souls of those who lost their lives while building the structure.
This theory fits with other One Piece theories
In short, this theory, especially with the new evidence coming from the series, makes a lot of sense. Furthermore, it fits well with other popular One Piece theories, giving Luffy a potential reason to destroy the Red Line.
Ultimately, this One Piece theory is just one of many that follow the massive story revealed in Elbaf. Right now, the new information surrounding the Lost Century is the biggest revelation in the series since Gear 5's appearance in Wano.
So, what do you guys think of this theory? Leave a comment, and see you next time!
