Grand Line

The Grand Line(偉大なる海路(グランドライン), Gurando Rain; "Grand Sea Route"), also known as the Graveyard of Pirates, is a fictional sea and the setting for most of the story in Oda Eiichiro's manga series One Piece, as well as the anime series, films, video games, and live action series. It is supposedly the location of the treasure known as the One Piece.
The Grand Line follows an imaginary line that runs north-west to south-east around the world and perpendicular to the Red Line, a continent that separates the Grand Line into two halves: Paradise and the New World.[ch. 433]
Climate and navigation
The currents and weather on the Grand Line are extremely unpredictable, as they can change in an instant; this includes winds, storms, blizzards, and the like. This is especially true for the first stretch, from the Red Line to the first islands. The islands and their surrounding waters on the other hand have a stable climate. Most of them can be "classified into four types: Summer Island, Spring Island, Autum Island and Winter Island. And each of these types of islands has four seasons of its own", resulting in "a range of 16 different seasons."
Due to the extreme climate changing rapidly, Grand Line navigation is considered to be very difficult. Normal compasses do not work on the Grand Line because of the nature of its magnetic fields. The islands located in the Grand Line are highly rich in minerals which disturbs the magnetic fields in the area. In order to navigate the Grand Line a special compass called a Log Pose must be used.
The Log Pose works by locking on to one island's magnetic field and then locking on to another island's magnetic field. The Log Pose can do this for a total of seven different routes, that diverge from Reverse Mountain and travel south-east before merging again to the last island, Laughtale, the existence of which has only been confirmed by Gold Roger. The time for a pose to set depends on the island. One island may take a few hours to set to the next island, while another can take several days or in the case of Little Garden a whole year. This process can be bypassed by obtaining an Eternal Pose. This version of the Log Pose is permanently set to a specific island and does never change. This makes it easier to get to a specific island rather than going through a trail of islands.

Wano Country(ワノ国, Wano Kuni) is a nation in the New World unaffiliated with the World Government. It has its own warriors, the samurai, who are swordsmen so strong that not even the Navy goes near them. It was first mentioned by Dr. Hogback as Ryuma was from this particular country. Yakuza families have also formed the day when Kaido helped the Kurozumi Family overthrow the Kozuki Family. Roronoa Zoro is a descendant of Wano Country immigrants to the East Blue.
The country's culture is based on Japan, primarily the Edo period.
In Punk Hazard, the Straw Hat Crew met two residents of Wano, Kin'emon and his "son" Momonosuke, who temporarily accompanied them on their journey. Later, they discover that Momonosuke is actually the son of Kozuki Oden, and part of the royal family of Wano, and Kin'emon is his father's retainer.
Kozuki Family
The Kozuki Family(光月家, Kōzuki-ke) was originally the ruling family of Wano Country until the Kurozumi Family overthrew them with help from Kaido. Following the defeats of Kurozumi Orochi, Kaido, and Big Mon, the Kozuki Family regained their rule over Wano Country.
Kozuki Oden
Kozuki Oden(光月おでん, Kōzuki Oden), in addition to having been the daimyo of Kuri and son of the country's former shogun Kozuki Sukiyaki, was also a legendary, immensely powerful and skilled swordsman and samurai who developed his own variation of Nitoryu. Oden was specialized in the style of two swords, his legendary dual wielding swordsmanship allowing him to permanently scar a transformed Kaido.
Additionally, he was the leader of a group of legendary and powerful samurai known as the Nine Red Scabbards, with all of them serving as his retainers and most trusted allies. As daimyo of Kuri, Oden had a large amount of power and influence over the region before his death. Oden became a famous pirate for several years by joining the Whitebeard Pirates and later the Roger Pirates. Oden was regarded as being a tremendously powerful pirate with a great level of influence in both crews, helping the latter decipher Poneglyphs in exchange for accompanying their travels on the Grand Line.
In life, Oden is one of the strongest characters in the One Piece world. He was capable of utilizing all three types of Haki, including the advanced application for both Haoshoku and Busoshoku Haki, has the ability to hear the "Voice of All Things" (Like Roger), and wields two legendary swords: Ame no Habakiri, the sword said to be able to cut "heaven" itself, and Enma, the sword said to be able to cut to the "bottom of hell".

Elbaph is based on the Viking culture and on the Norse mythology.
It is ruled under the Warland Kingdom, with its leader currently vacant after Harald's death.
Besides the Giant Warrior Pirates, the New Giant Warrior Pirates, and John Giant, the following reside in Elbaph.
Harald
Harald(ハラルド, Hararudo) is a giant with ancient giant lineage, the former King of Elbaph, and the father of Loki and Hajrudin. A childhood friend of Dorry and Brogy, he is a spoilt and extremely violent man whose strength and iron-fist rule led to him becoming a feared figure around the world. A chance meeting with foreign giant Ida (with whom he sired Hajrudin) motivated him to turn over a new leaf, becoming an honorable person and prioritizing the country's development on education and diplomacy. Due to his responsibilities, he neglected his sons' needs, leading to Loki's constant abuse by his family, though Hajrudin was not affected. At different points, Harald had declined the invitation of Rocks D. Xebec to join the Rocks Pirates in his plan of world domination. After witnessing Rocks' death during the God Valley Incident, he destroys his horns and chooses to serve the World Government as a Devoted Blade, defeating pirates in exchange for Elbaph's pending membership. Harald is later killed by his soldiers on his orders due to the World Government's manipulation of his mental state, with Loki willingly bearing responsibility.
Loki
Loki(ロキ, Roki) is a very large giant with a demonic appearance and an ancient giant lineage who is the son of King Harald, the Prince of Elbaph, and the half-brother of Hajrudin.
Born to Harald and Estrid, he was thrown into the Underworld by his mother due to his demonic eyes, only to climb his way back to the palace by himself. He met Rocks D. Xebec when attempting suicide and failed to persuade Xebec to let him join up with the Rocks Pirates. Loki was blamed by the public for any grievances on Elbaph, be it natural disasters or deaths of any cause. Despite Harald's love, his non-presence and further abuse by family led to Loki growing into a lonely and violent yet fundamentally misunderstood individual. Despite her illegitimacy, he considers Hajrudin's mother Ida to be his own, massacring a village for poisoning her to death. At one point in his life, Loki was to have an arranged marriage with Charlotte Lola, spitefully arranged by Elbaph elders and Big Mom due to the latter and Loki's poor reputation in Elbaph.
When Harald started losing control of Imu's gift, he advised Loki to flee with the legendary Devil Fruit and to rule Elbaph. As Loki fled, he was confronted by Ragnir, who allowed Loki to eat the Dragon-Dragon Fruit: Model Niddhoggr, which gives him the ability to turn into a gargantuan dragon or a dragon-giant hybrid. Afterward, Loki killed Harald in self-defense.
Loki took the blame for Harald's death, sabotaging an unknown actor in the process while gaining the ire of the Figarland siblings, with Shanks trapping him in the Underworld and Shamrock assaulting him for refusing orders to join the God's Knights. He was found by Monkey D. Luffy in the Underworld, bartering a deal for his freedom in exchange for news about Shanks, only to be interrupted by the intervention of the New Giant Warrior Pirates and the God's Knights. After the circumstances behind Harald's death are revealed, Loki is freed by Hajrudin and later acquitted by Jarul.
Loki is voiced by Yuichi Nakamura in the original Japanese version of the anime.
The character is named after the god of the Norse mythology Loki.
Ragnir

Ragnir serves as the guardian of the Legendary Devil Fruit, only allowing the worthy to eat it. Jarul believes that Ragnir has the spirit of Ratatoskr. Ragnir serves as comedic relief and a companion to Loki and Luffy.

Jaguar was loyal to the World Government until the Buster Call was unleashed on Ohara, Jaguar risked his life and abandoned his post to save a young Nico Robin, only to be frozen by Kuzan. He later escapes from the thawing ice and retires in Elbaph despite his foreign nature, helping a clone of Dr. Vegapunk gain access to Elbaph's library.

Reception
As the primary setting of One Piece, the detailed worldbuilding and art design of the Grand Line received a positive reception. After the release of the hundredth volume, Weekly Shonen Jump's editor-in-chief, Hiroyuki Nakano, explained how One Piece changed the history of manga and the way of making it. Nakano said that Weekly Shonen Jump is "a game of weekly popularity", and before One Piece, he aimed for something "interesting this week without thinking about the next"; however, the series reached overwhelming popularity due to its style that involved a story concept and detailed hints, adding that the series had a huge impact on other series. Nakano lauded Oda for his "overwhelming passion, talent and power" and his "unwavering will" to deliver a story to boys and girls, adding that he goes far beyond the reader's expectations, with the belief in "don't fool the reader" and "there is something interesting ahead of it".
EX Media lauds Oda's art for its "crispy" monochrome pictures, "great use of subtle shade changes" on color pages, "sometimes exquisite" use of angles, and for its consistency. Shaenon K. Garrity, who at some point edited the series for English Shonen Jump, said that, while doing so, her amazement over Oda's craft grew steadily. She states that "he has a natural, playful mastery of the often restrictive weekly-manga format", notes that "interesting things [are] going on deep in the narrative structure," and recommends "sticking through to the later volumes to see just how crazy and Peter Max-y the art gets". Mania Entertainment writer Jarred Pine commented: "One Piece is a fun adventure story, with an ensemble cast that is continuing to develop, with great action and character drama." He praised Oda's artwork as "imaginative and creative" and commented that "Oda's imagination just oozes all of the panels [sic]". He also noted that "Oda's panel work [...] features a lot of interesting perspectives and direction, especially during the explosive action sequences which are always a blast". Rebecca Silverman of Anime News Network stated that one of the series' strengths is to "blend action, humor, and heavy fare together" and praised the art, but stated that the panels could get too crowded for easy reading. The website activeAnime describes the artwork in One Piece as "wonderfully quirky and full of expression". Mario Vuk from Splash Comics commented that Oda's "pleasantly bright and dynamic" art style suits the story's "funny and exciting" atmosphere. Isaiah Colbert of Kotaku called One Piece a "masterpiece", highlighting Oda's character writing, worldbuilding and the balance between "fun and serious subject matter".
Dale Bashir of IGN wrote that One Piece is more about the worldbuilding, adventuring, and the meaning of freedom instead of the "usual shonen battling" from series like Dragon Ball and Naruto. Bashir concluded: "While not everyone would want to go so far for a franchise that isn't even finished yet, trust me when I say that it is definitely worth it." In March 2021, Mobile Suit Gundam's creator, Yoshiyuki Tomino, said in his interview that One Piece is the "only manga to trust". He praised the manga, commenting: "Still, we are working in the same studio and I saw storyboards near the photocopier. Unlike mine, those storyboards are good. But, you know, among the popular manga there is manga with very beautiful art and manga with bad art, but interesting nonetheless. And I don't trust manga with very beautiful art unless it is One Piece.
