    I remember for one of my projects I spent six months trying to figure out a way for my characters travel faster than the speed of light. I ended up just making a metal that when properly used makes a bubble that disconnects the stuff inside from the laws of physics outside it. The laws of physics still exist but in two separate systems. They can’t affect each-other at all. The point of this is that I spent way too much time doing research before I decided magic metal that makes things do what I want.

    Minor correction: The Grand Line is **not** around the equater, even though most maps make it seem that way. The poles of the One Piece world are in the North Blue and South Blue respectively.

    I think it’s important to mention that we’re seeing the WG from the perspective of Luffy, who is rebelling against it and is like the one in ten thousand pirate who has never looted anything. For the average Joe, the WG is doing a great job at keeping people safe from the rampant criminals who constantly threaten to kill them, and most of the Marine conscripts and personnel lower in the command structure are doubtlessly trying to do the right thing. That’s why the Revolutionaries exist, I imagine, because without the WG, the whole world would be ransacked and looted (and I imagine that’s why so many people cheered against Whitebeard at Marineford); so after Luffy invariably topples the WG, the Revolutionaries will be there to pick up the slack rather than the world descending into ransacking chaos. Of course, the WG is by no means a positive influence overall (understatement), but it’s better than no government at all, especially because there are some good people in it who genuinely want to help people like Garp and Fujitora and, again, most foot soldiers in any country join armies to protect people so the purpose of the common marine is a good one. When looking at the real world, a dictatorship is beyond awful, but if you ask me, a dictatorship which generally leaves most people alone like Saudi Arabia is a lot better than Somalia. It’s a lesser-of-two-evils situation in this case. If the WG was like North Korea and made it an active dystopia, rather than a much more passive dystopia, it would probably be worse. By defending the WG here, it might look like I support them, but they are literally the overarching bad guys of the story and have committed genocides. Their upper command is genuinely evil

    I've got to disagree. We've seen the world govt commit multiple genocides on screen (likely way more offscreen) and for the average joe, there is a very high chance that they're gonna be neglected by the wg. for example, nami's village was occupied by arlong for 8 years and the marines were aware and helping arlong sustain his rule in an island in east blue (the safest region of the one piece world.) and considering the widespread famine, war and overall instability in several countries, it is safe to say that the world govt do very much to protect the average joe

Some marines are good (Smoker, Garp, Fujitora, Koby etc) some are bad (Nezumi, Akainu, Oniguomo, Greenbull) and ig it just depends on the citizens' luck and who's actually incharge of protecting them which is actually still really fked up

    Suprisingly, i agree with a lot of your points. Its just easy to look at One Piece and call it unrealistic and nonsensical, but at the end of the day, thats kind of the point. Oda was directly inspired by childrens cartoons like Looney Tunes, so it makes sense that the world of OP doesnt operate on real life logic. Theres something very dreamlike about it all. If everything were explained perfectly, i think it would lose some of that mystery and vastness.. Like theres more to the world than jusy what relates to our main characters.

    On your complaints about the Five Elders and Im: It's not that Oda "forgot" or "skipped over" giving solid info on them. He's simply waiting for the right time to do so. One Piece plants many secrets and mysteries, Oda will take his sweet time getting to those mysteries, so fan have ample time to theorize and build hype. Eventually Oda will drop a bombshell of info on them (All the elders names got revealed and their positions not to long ago, so that shows Oda does indeed take his time bit by bit) that will clear up everything. Essentially what I'm saying is that Oda will do stuff like this on purpose for a reason.

    On the point about some people being extremely tall or short and buildings not being adapted to such body types, that is actually very simple to explain. The people with such features are rare, like 1 in a million rare, it's just that since fighting is such an important feature in this manga, most of the people with larger sizes than what is normal are more represented in the story due to their size giving them an advantage in combat. But if you see most panels with a lot of normal people, like audiences looking at events, then you see that most people are fairly similar in size. Also on the Workd Government part, it's the same way USA does things, they have the biggest guns so they can get away with doing a lot of stupid/horrifying shit without fearing reprisal.

    There's another big reason why the USA gets away with things and it's a lesson Russian does not or cannot learn. The USA has friends.

When Russia does it everyone slaps them with sanctions because Russia spent it's entire history alienating and being an ass to everyone.

The setting is supposed to be more entertaining than realistic. While sometimes it works to have a realistic setting, sometimes it’s better to be entertaining when writing a story. Not everything has to make sense depending on the situation.

    When i think about magical worlds, i just think "if all these magic shenanigans were real in the first place, would things turn out as they did here?" For example, The Boys and Invincible have somewhat similar premises, but the boys makes way more sense than invincible. The boys is set in a world where super heroes are real and it is mostly similar to our world but it has diverged enough as a consequence of super heroes being real. Invincible is set in a world where random people get powers out of nowhere, world destroying aliens are a common occurrence, demons exist, galactic governments exist, humans know about aliens and aliens live among people... And yet, earth is basically the same as ours, humans dont even have space travel yet.

    I know it’s mostly for fun, but I’ve still decided to bring it up. No hard feelings! Hm, I think that there are some details that explain some of your complains, for example, we pretty much know that one piece world is created and not natural, it was confirmed with both punk hazard and now lulusia. Also, minks and fishman have some relation to zoan fruits (confirmed by sulong’s activation with rumble ball), so maybe in future the way they work might explain some weird things (like their strength). And some will be probably explained in future, like how gorosei are chosen (we literally learnt their names 10 chapters ago)

    About your “individuals that consolidate power” part. I agree Much of the world, even that officially controlled by the government, is actually run by smaller independent factions that just carve out a small slice of it to rule with an iron fist and just don’t overstep their boundaries with the larger factions enough to be worth exterminating. Even that island that Luffy met Shanks on is unofficially controlled by mountain bandits that rob them periodically or take protection money, until marines occasionally come to visit, during which they hide in the mountains. They know they are not worth the effort to actually hunt down, so they just stay out of the Marines was Along did. the exact same thing but just less unhinged. The only reason they aren’t officially independent countries is the fact that everyone knows the Marines could crush them if they wanted to. Which is why the Emporers are such a big deal. Those four pirate crews are so powerful that the WG can’t even pretend to be the ones really in charge. Such great world building

    On the topic of anime and manga here are two series you should really try: 1. Kingdom, a series set in Warring States era China following a soldier as he moves through the ranks to become a Great General of the Heavens. If there is one thing that Kingdom does better than anything else, it's war. Every arc is amazing, you practically can't stop reading; and all of the characters are also awesome and very unique. 2. The House in Fata Morgana, a supernatural mystery with elements of horror and romance, about the fates of the various Masters of a time travelling mansion, spanning from medieval times to the industrial era. I won't explain too much of the plot, since it is much better to read it fresh, however I can say that all of the characters are amazing and the story has incredible emotional impact.
