So cool! Thanks Redon! Oh I hope this gets an english release sometime. My 8 and 5 year olds are finally obsessed with One Piece and I think they'd love this as much as me.

[Jaime]

Pretty cool surprised we didn’t get a Japanese one when Oda did his travel thing with OP characters

[omy785]

This looks really cool and maybe we could get some new interesting details about the story… although, I think, almost all of the places that have inspired Oda have already been thouroughly identified

[King Cannon]

I'm actually surprised Fishman Island is Greece-inspired.

Which specific part?

[joekido the Second]

I always thought Alabasta was Middle Eastern but guess not.

[theackwardstation]

@King:

I'm actually surprised Fishman Island is Greece-inspired.

Which specific part?

Well, Greece is also famous for its beautiful coastal landscapes and FI is kinda like that, as much of its natural beauty comes from rocks and chorals against the water.

Also, there's a lot of greek-style pillars everywhere in the island and the Ryuugu Palace is a mixture of greek and chinese architectures. Besides that, some of the clothing and characters' aesthetic remind me of a ancient roman-greek costumes - just look at the royal guards, the royal family, etc. The royal family in particular kinda have that mythological/demi-god vibe to them, and the king is called Neptune, and Shirahoshi is basically a reincarnated goddess. It's also a land with an oracle and prophecies, just like a greek tragedy.

One can also argue that mermaids are especially famous from greek culture, like Homer's Odyssey.

[King Cannon]

@joekido:

I always thought Alabasta was Middle Eastern but guess not.

It has some blatant Egyptian elements though, like the Sandora River, Pell & Chaka, the Tomb of the Kings, etc.

Hell, even the Poneglyphs, which were introduced in the arc.

[Captain M]

Alabasta as India is an interesting choice. I can see that big plateau city pictured as an inspiration for Alubarna, but so much the whole country. Wonder if the full book will acknowledge the distinction at all.

Still looks like a fantastic resource that I'd love to have (and will probably never get) a full translation for. Shame it's coming out when international travel is in the state it's in…

[Starrk]

I'm surprised about Cocoyashi Village.
sure, Citrus tangerine is one of popular fruit in our country & we can found easily.
Maybe it's because Cocoyashi is part of Conomi Islands, archipelago area similar to Indonesia.
or maybe because "Cocoyashi is Japanese for coconut". Indonesia is the world's largest producer of coconuts.

well, looking forward to the book. Thanks for the info, redon !

[Robby]

Book seems cool. I want it.

[The Light of Shandora]

I hope this gets an english release sometime soon, this sounds really interesting and would love to have that in my One Piece collection.

[oikgerd]

Welp, Cocoyashi Village based from Indonesian really surprise me. I'm Indonesian and we Indonesian fans NEVER ONCE thought there was an Indonesian element in there.

I've never seen anyone say that and I've been active in the Indonesian community for the last 10 years.

[rayleigh92]

Arabasta not being Egypt inspired bugs me so deep I can't stand it lol

[Alfiere]

@King:

I'm actually surprised Fishman Island is Greece-inspired.

Which specific part?

Guess the part in which it's this world Atlantis, and that's it.
Also Poseidon?

Alabasta being India doesn't make much sense.

Island ls a huge desert with no sign of tropical environment, but a very big river flows in the middle;
Fauna includes Camels and huge crcodiles, but no elephant or tigers;
Kings family's name's Nefertari, protected by a Falcon God…

... it's egypt man.

[Zeorn]

Dang, this book will plan out an around the world trip for you to hit all the stops that inspired One Piece. Too bad nobody can or wants to travel.

[Jabra]

I think we shouldn't consider this a reference where these places are based on culturally, it's more of a "where can I see specific tourist attractions that also appear in the manga" type of deal.

Like, if you want to see Castle Drum then Schloß Neuschwanstein is waiting for you in Bavaria. However, if you want to experience Drum Village you will have to travel to Canada instead.
In general I would expect Canada to give me a stronger Drum Island vibe than Germany, but if you want this experience then you've got to come visit the Allgäu region.

Curious that they didn't pick the Great Barrier Reef for Fishman Island. But I guess that wouldn't have aged well…

[ScotchInformer]

Another two pages

[FelRes]

So like
Anyone gonna assign matching accents to characters next time they read the series?

"This mushroom is medicine eh"
"I wanna be a monster to help Luffy eh!"
"The kids are taking drugs eh"

[ScotchInformer]

We will have dialogue between Fan of One Piece and One of Eiichiro Oda Editors !

One Piece World Map in Rurubu Book.

[Captain M]

@ScotchInformer:

One Piece World Map in Rurubu Book.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EvJd08bUcAMujqu?format=jpg&name=large

I've yet to see the world map, official or otherwise, that feels quite right with what we've been told about the world in-universe. Like, if the islands that the crew visited are that large, where do the ones on all six of the other Grand Line routes from Reverse Mountain go? And Punk Hazard and Dressrosa are pretty far apart for what was canonically an overnight sail. I suppose the answer is probably just that it's not to scale. But I'd love to see one that is to scale someday. It's probably a lot less interesting, with so many major locations just being specks in proportion to the globe, but I'm still curious just to see how it stacks up.

If you really wanted to nitpick you could say "look how isolated Alabasta is here…

!
…but I'm inclined to call this one Oda's mistake.

Oda definitely didn't design the world with practical cartography in mind, which is actually a little funny when you consider that he made mapping it the main goal of one of the lead protagonists.

[FelRes]

That's probably why Nami never really brings up the map thing ever. There's way too many islands to ever get a true sense of where everything is located, let alone to scale. Even in the real world you can look at a globe or map and find tiny little specks for islands too small to name and that could be where the crew has been visiting. Then you got stuff like Zou and Skypiea which aren't stationary.

[Captain M]

Then you got stuff like Zou and Skypiea which aren't stationary.

Yup. And there is another end to the spectrum (and an addendum to what I said about things looking too big): Going by in-universe measurements, Alabasta is comparable to Australia in size. (the big river is 50km across, the country at its widest point as shown about 67x larger than that.) If the page that showed it super isolated is accurate, it paints a picture of a globe far bigger than our Earth. Hell, even without the isolation, on an Earth-size planet, Alabasta would block the entire Grand Line and spill out into East and South Blue with landmass to spare. Which to an even great extent means some smaller islands would barely be visible on a fully zoomed out scale map.

And let's not even start on what that should mean for travel times when most people are getting around in old time-y sailing ships

Oda's a great worldbuilder in terms of consistency, interconnectedness, cultural variety and making the planet feel populated by actual people who exist independent of the main character, but he absolutely does not give a shit about the logistical minutia.

We've had similar problems in the past trying to track the phases of the moon. There's no workable way to do it.

–- Update From New Post Merge ---

Actually I got myself thinking on this and did some measurements. One Sandora River is 50km. One Alabasta is about 67 Sandora Rivers, or 3,350km. The latest map, assuming its scale is accurate (even though it's probably not), puts the diameter of the world at about 46 Alabastas, or 154,100km. Our Earth has a diameter of 12,742km. This puts One Piece's world at just over 12 times the size of the Earth.

If nothing else, it puts a different light on things like Sanji's shipwreck flashback. If it feels terrifyingly isolated being lost at sea on Earth, imagine how much worse it is for sailors in One Piece. How much lower would the odds of a rescue have to be?

So what would be a good comparison in size on earth to Arabasta as an island?

While the scale is really odd (PH large almost as Dressrosa is a huge no to me), I guess if we can take as canon the way Wano is so far in the New World. I mean, we're in the third part of it already? I used to suppose Wano was around half, but it is basically the NW equivalent of Thriller Bark.

Never mind, I just noticed they put Sabaody so for from the red Line it can't be taken serious.

I've given up on this series having any logical sense of scale a long time ago. I'm pretty sure Oda just guestimates and throws numbers out there, and the z-axis throws everything off. It doesn't need to make sense, Oda makes up for it on the lore side. We got humans of varying larger sizes anyway, I have a million questions there (mostly regarding how it affects their bathroom habits).

[Johnny B. Decent]

The sense of scale, FelRes, is in…...your heart.

[Captain M]

@Johnny:

So what would be a good comparison in size on earth to Arabasta as an island?

Not sure if I'm misunderstanding the question here, but I did mention Australia, which is about 3,800km tall from the bottom of Tasmaia to the tip of Queensland and about 4,000km wide from WA to NSW. That would make Alabasta somewhere in the ballpark of this big:

!

(As a disclaimer, I couldn't be bothered doing exact measurements for this image. I just knew that Alabasta had to be about 10% smaller in width than Australia was in height and eyeballed it. But it's close enough that it should get the idea across.)

This is probably exactly why Oda hasn't given any exact measurements (outside of character heights) besides that one 50km mention in Alabasta. Maybe someone pointed out at the time what it did for the scaling and he resolved never to fall into that trap again.

Although, years ago I remember someone arguing they didn't think the worldbuilding worked because all the landmasses were too small for the kinds of civilisations and populations shown to develop. Where did they get the resources? How do they grow enough food? Extra big islands on an extra big world would solve that issue, despite all the other problems it creates.

This is very interesting, and it only kind of appeared during the W7 flashback. As a city, Water 7 could not survive being isolated from it's neighbours, and the weather conditions and roughness of the sea in the Grand Line made it impossible for them to find resources. The city was slowly decaying before Tom invented the Sea Train. I thought that was a nice way to showcase the hardships of living in the GL for common people.

I always found it weird that in the East Blue everyone described the Grand Line as a dangerous place, from where people came back half dead… and then we have entire cities and peaceful countries like Dressrosa with people living common lives. I think the manga didn't explore very well (yet) the revolutionary discovery of the seastone ships for the marines, that can cross the Calm Belt. That thing changes the whole game. Imagine the marine having to create a whole organization while having to go through the Reverse Mountain every time they needed to take something to the main base? No wonder it was so hard for them to fight pirates. They had to rely on local marines and their strenght to fight, which could lead to corrupt officers like Morgans and Nezumi.
Also, the time between Reveries is too short. Can the world's monarchies really be expected to go on a dangerous journey to the deadliest sea of all every few years??

One more thing about the size inconsistencies of the map: when the crew entered the Grand Line they came throught some small arches that barely fit the Merry, and the canal was not much bigger than it. How could we expect Krieg's ship to go through them? Or marine's battleships as well? Now in the map the reverse mountain is huge, and continental-sized.

I'm a big fantasy nerd so I do love getting details like the Water Seven ones that help the world make sense. But I think one of the best lessons from One Piece's success is that internal consistency trumps pure gritty realism every time.

Presumably some of the Grand Line's reputation in the Blues, especially the East Blue, just comes from a lack of perspective. Even Zeff had been settled there quite a while, and having been a pirate when he was in Paradise, probably didn't get to spend much time kicking around the civilized areas of the sea. I definitely agree that it'd be cool to see more talk of how new Seastone tech has changed how the Marines police the Grand Line and how, say, their methods have changed since Roger's day and what impact that had on no one being able to claim the throne since he died. It all kinda goes with the eternally-lingering question of how does the bounty hunting economy deal with titans who go into the billions and is there anyone out there reasonably trying to get that money. Stuff that'd be cool to explore but obviously isn't where Oda wants to focus his attention.

I'd totally forgotten about how much of a problem Reverse Mountain is for scale. It seemed perfectly sized for the Merry, which is definitely how it was designed at the time, but Merry is microscopic as far as One Piece ships go. For the Marines, I can see them having distinct fleets for each Blue and each part of the Grand Line that are built in their sea and never leave it aside from specific troop transport vessels (not counting the new, seastone-enhanced warships that go where they want) but Krieg… Hard to picture him crossing the Calm Belt by choice twice and surviving both times.

I think one of the worst issues of this kind has to be Thriller Bark allegedly being built in the West Blue, which would mean it either had to climb Reverse Mountain or get coated and make the trip past Fishman Island, under the Redline, to end up in Paradise. And then it's made the same trip back the other way to meet Blackbeard in the New World. Either way I'd love to see how Moria pulled that one off.

Looking forward to seeing more of this one. I don't suppose it's going to have a digital release we can expect rips of?

Where did they get the resources? How do they grow enough food? Extra big islands on an extra big world would solve that issue, despite all the other problems it creates.

I think there was another instance on Fishman Island where Oda included a distance between Gyncorde Plaza and the Mermaid Cove which was way tooo large. Somehing like 150km; Fishman Island is only 10km below the surface, so… taking place inside a spherical bubble, here are some pretty obvious geometric issues. I believe this was attributed to a misplaced decimal, but it was changed for the volume release. I think it was changed to 1.5km, which is still substantial when you consider the diameter of the bubble and also the relative size of Noah.

Also, the bigger issue with a bigger Earth is gravity. Assuming the same density, the gravity would be much greater - which leads me to think, maybe the One Piece world is a 'hollow Earth'. I could see Oda doing some 20,000 leagues under the sea, Jules Verne type stuff; Maybe All Blue (if it's not the blue seas connected following the breaking apart of the Red Line) is in the center of the Earth

[Captain M]

The single One Piece location I've always wanted to visit most is… checks notes ...Enel Face.

It's already my favourite part of the guide that they included this.

Cheers Redon for providing so many pics!

[Shavralite]

anyone got a digital version or scans of the book to share?

[ScotchInformer]

@Shavralite:

anyone got a digital version or scans of the book to share?

Unfortunately, there is no digital version for this Book. No scans until now.

[Captain M]

I hope someone takes the time to do a full scan eventually. It's such an interesting book, but feels too niche to ever get officially released in English.

It's a visual enough bit of work I could almost justify just buying the Japanese version, but shipping in and out of Japan has been kind of a nightmare lately.

[IORI_17]

@Captain:

but shipping in and out of Japan has been kind of a nightmare lately.

Definitely, shippings have become more expensive than items, if someone has suggestions on cheaper sites and means they're welcome

[King Cannon]

You know, the map that comes with the book makes me think the next adventure might include a Sphinx, Hachinosu, Elbaf trifecta arc/saga, eventually leading into Laugh Tale.

Luffy has reasons to go to Sphinx and mourn Ace's grave (and also elaborate on Weevil), Elbaf was setup for a long time ago and Hachinosu would be a good payoff for the Davy Back Fight in Long Ring Long Land. It also doesn't need to actually involve Blackbeard, especially considering he's apparently gonna be busy somewhere else, plus a convenient Moriah reintroduction to the Straw Hats post-Kaido
