Paradise in One Piece is half of the Grand Line

Crunchyroll

In One Piece, the first part of the Grand Line, known informally as “Paradise,” runs from the Twin Cape to Mary Geoise. Its name comes from people who have fled from the New World, the second half of the Grand Line. It is a whole “new world” of adventures beyond anything encountered in the first half. 

The Grand Line was never meant to be an easy place to sail, whether it was the Paradise or the New World. The first half of the Grand Line has highly volatile and unpredictable weather conditions. The first leg of Paradise is especially chaotic; Reverse Mountain and the Twin Cape are great starting points. From there, a Log Pose can lock onto the magnetism of any of seven different islands. 

Each of them is the first island in one of seven different routes that one can travel through to traverse the first half of the Grand Line. However, the clashing magnetic waves make it difficult to travel through. Regardless of which of the seven routes one takes, they are all as difficult to navigate. Additionally, they all lead to the same destination, the Sabaody Archipelago.

One Piece can currently be streamed on Crunchyroll. In the meantime, check out our other anime coverage below:
