      Hey um, is Drum Island really the 3'rd island of the Grand Line like the site says? Because when Luffy & the gang were sailing they said they were changing direction & heading south wouldn't that mean they're going back to Little Garden? How did they wind up on the 3'rd island by turning around? Please explain this to me, thanx. 😃

        Maybe it might've been a mistake.

        Which one was Drum island again?

            I don't know that Drum is actually the third island on their route on the Grand Line, it's just the third one they went to. It's probable that it is the third island, since they found it so quickly after Little Garden, though.

            If you spoiler me, I will eat you with tater tots.

              I think it´s likely that it is the third island. Igaram told Vivi that between Whiskey Peak and Alabasta there should be two or three islands. Those three islands would be Little Garden, Drum and Nanimonai "Nothing Island".

              Little Garden is clear but the other two need a little bit elaboration. Nanimonai is the island Miss All Sunday had the Eternal Pose too (in chapter 129 Brogy revealed what this island really is). Anyway because Brogy knows of that island in context with the Island Eater that resides at Little Garden it is fair to assume that Nanimonai is somewhere between Little Garden and Alabasta and since it is meant to be close to Alabasta I´d say it is even between Drum and Alabasta.

              Now to get to Drum, it wasn´t really said that Drum is on the same route the Strawhats took at the beginning but remember that Ace was there and that he said he will be waiting at Alabasta for him. If Drum and Alabasta really belong to two different routes, how can Ace then be sure that Luffy will ever come cross that way? To me it just makes sense that they belong to the same route. And if we trust Igarams words then the route follows as this:

              Whiskey Peak, Little Garden, Drum, Nanimonai, Alabasta…

              Well only one island got skipped. And to be honest I´m happy that I didn´t see the Strawhats land on a "shit"-island. :laugh:

                  I think you totally wrapped it up Ivotas.. since Ace was at Drum, it had to be on the route to Alabasta (or it slipped Oda's mind). Nice observation since I always thought they had diverted to another "island course"

                      Didn't she say that this eternal pose would change their grandline-way? another route of islands?

                        She says the following: "Now you can skip all that. That needle points to the uninhabited island right before Alabasta. It's a route none of our
                        members know, so you won't be followed."

                        This doesn´t say that this they changed their path they´ve just chosen. I think what she means is that nobody knows the direct route from Whiskey Peak to Nanimonai, probably because the island isn´t that famous. But I think it is still the same track of islands that Whiskey Peak leads to, just the direct route between these two islands is probably unknown.

                          I thought no one knew the exact route to Alabasta as it was so difficult to leave the island - what with the time it took for the log pose to set, the goldfish and the bite thing Nami got. In other words it was simply easier for everyone in BW to have an eternal pose to Alabasta even though eternal poses probably are expensive items.

                          The only thing that confuses me is how Nanimonai could set off/attract the Log Pose? If it is just goldfish excrement then it wouldn't have any metal or other basis for the arrow thing to turn to. <_<

                            To put it in simple terms. The goldfish is called Island Eater. I guess the name is programm (does this saying exist in english?) and if that is the case and he at some point chopped and digested a Grand Line island then he must have also digested the islands minerals. And thus Nanimonai should have those minerals too. 😉

                              Programm isn't a word in english. We have program & programme though, which I'm guessing is what you mean.

                                Well I know that programm doesn´t exist in english. It was just a typo. However I never knew that there´s the term programme. So to just add little confusion I´ll end the post with the words "I accidentally said programm, while wanted to type program but actually meant programme instead."

                                Everything clear? :laugh:

                                  Just one last question.. was the name "nanimonai" actually given by Oda or is it just something we call the island for not having a proper name? (nanimonai literally means "nothing" which is why I ask)

                                  I guess the name is programm (does this saying exist in english?)

                                  Hm, now I'm trying to figure out what you were trying to say here.. my german isn't that good. Is it a saying that means the name can be taken literally or something?

                                    On a slightly different note, I wonder if they are going to show us Nami's map of the Grand Line? I was thinking they might show it just before they crossed the Red Line, to show all the places they have been and of course Nami's skill as a map maker. It would be interesting to see which of the 7 routes that could be taken to get to Raftel, that they were on.

                                      Well jack, I can´t tell you how it is called in the manga because we never see what is written on the eternal pose there. And stephen has translated it as "Nothing Island". If anybody wants to check it in japanese it´s in chapters 114 when the meet Miss All Sunday and in chapter 129 when the giants talk about the excrements.

                                      However in the anime it is definitely called Nanimonai. Here´s the visual reference:

                                      Hm, now I'm trying to figure out what you were trying to say here.. my german isn't that good. Is it a saying that means the name can be taken literally or something?

                                      Yes that´s what it means. The meaning of the term program I´m refering to like when you go to a theater and ask what the todays program is. What you get is the program. And therefore we have that saying "The name is program" in german. Don´t know if I was able to describe it adecuately. =(
