One Piece Anime Information
Grand Line
The Grand Line is the ocean current that follows an imaginary line that runs east to west across the middle of the world and perpendicular to the Red Line. In effect, it's the equator in the world of One Piece. 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. This stretch of ocean is said to be the most dangerous place in the world, and is sometimes referred to as the Pirates' Graveyard because of this reputation. There also appears to be ways of how the Grand Line can be left safely without sailing to the far end of the Grand Line. How that works hasn't been explained as of yet.
Calm Belt To the north and south of the Grand Line are strips of ocean known as the "Calm Belts". The true entrance to Grand Line is usually marred by storms; the waters of the Calm Belts remain static year round and there are virtually no winds either. There is also the presence of extremely large sea monsters (called Sea Kings) ; in fact, the monsters found in the Calm Belts are the largest, or at least largest shown thus far, in all of One Piece. The combination of no currents, no wind, and many Sea Kings make it a perfect barrier for any traveler trying to directly go into the Grand Line.
Without using seastone-lined ships (which repel the Sea Kings) and some propulsion, the Grand Line can only be accessed at two points on the Red Line: Reverse Mountain and the Holy Land of Mariejoe. The first is where the four major currents of the Blue Seas merge together to form the Grand Line while the second is the site of the World Government.
The New World The Grand Line is divided by Red Line into two halves. While the first half (stretching from Reverse Mountain to the polar opposite point of the Red Line) is yet unnamed, the Second Half (beyond the second Red Line point to the backside of Reverse Mountain) is known as the "New World". This is the part of the world where the Yonkou live and rule like Emperors, and where those who will begin the new era gather. This half has not been fully explored, save for by the legendary Pirate King Gol D. Roger himself.
