The world of One Piece is full of geographical mysteries that, for more than two decades, remained unexplained. From the intriguing Red Line , which circles the world vertically, to the strange calm belts and the Grand Line, which divide the four seas, the planet of One Piece is a puzzle full of enigmas.

However, the Final Saga may finally bring the answers fans have been waiting for.
During the Egghead , Vegapunk revealed a major mystery in his stream: wars during the Void Century caused a cataclysm that transformed the world of One Piece into a collection of scattered islands. Now, the Elbaf Arc appears to be about to unravel the origins of the Red Line, confirming a long-standing fan theory.
Harley's texts, which Oda recently revealed in Elbaf, suggest that someone may have created the Red Line artificially, possibly during or even before the Void Century. However, in chapter 1138, the first verse of the texts mentions a "hellfire serpent." This serpent, rather than being a literal animal, may be a reference to the Red Line, inspired by the Norse legend of Jörmungandr, the giant serpent that encircles the world.
The connection between the Red Line and Norse mythology
In Harley's writings, the "hellfire serpent" and the "earth god" are described as responsible for enveloping the world in death and darkness, preventing people from meeting one another. This description makes sense, however, considering that the Red Line divides the four seas, isolating them from one another.
The theory that the Red Line was artificially created gained even more traction with this revelation. Many fans have suggested that the Red Line could be inspired by Jörmungandr, the serpent that, in Norse mythology, circles the earth. Interestingly, this image also evokes the Egyptian symbol of Ouroboros, often depicted as a red serpent.
The destruction of the Red Line and Luffy's role
The legend of Jörmungandr also claims that by releasing its tail, the serpent would trigger Ragnarök, an apocalyptic war. Therefore, this mythological element may be reflected in One Piece with the destruction of the Red Line, a theory widely discussed by fans and linked to Madam Sharley's prophecy about Luffy destroying Fish-Man Island.
Furthermore, in Little Garden, the giants Dorry and Brogy mention a " blood serpent ," referring to the same serpent described in Harley's writings. This connection reinforces the idea that the Red Line is a symbol of oppression, representing the power and authority of the World Nobles.
What to expect from the future of One Piece?
The destruction of the Red Line would be an act of resistance against the World Government, reuniting the seas and allowing people to connect again. As heir to the will of the Sun God Nika , Luffy could be the protagonist of this radical change, leading the fight for freedom and justice.
