As an op fan I’m automatically annoying about the sun, so I’d like to point out that the sun rises in the east (kinda).
So, where does the story start? The East Blue. Not only the story, but also Luffy’s whole character starts there.
Am I crazy or am I just late to the party?
Hi so I’m losing my shit over this!! I’m losing my mind cause this could imply so, SO many things.
This is genius since I doubt that wasn’t just some coincidence. There are four major oceans separated by the Calm Belt and the Red Line, so either one of the other three could've been chosen.
So why, the east? Coincidence???
BUT! But. That’s not all. The sun rising in the east is one thing, but where does it set? The west, on the direct other side of the world, from where it starts its journey.
After crossing the grand line, Laughtale is on the direct other side of the world, where their journey ends.
That could be all it means, or maybe something else is at play.
