Re: Log pose plot hole

so, how does the original pose adapt to where the 1st island is? theres went to whiskey peak, and they indeed were headed there, but why didnt it take a different route?

Re: Log pose plot hole

I guess the whale made them stop over at the lighthouse, which is in the range of the different island. It would have gotten pulled by a different island if they went straight or went around the whale.

WRONG! look again. Little Garden leads to different Islands than Arabasta. Arabasta leads to Skypiea. Jaya is not on the same route as skypiea. That is why Nami is concerned about them staying on Jaya for more than a few days because thats when the log will set.

They simply HAD to go to Arabasta so they got the Eternal Pose for it.

Re: Log pose plot hole

They should let Usopp tinker around with a spare log/eternal pose for a bit to see if he can jimmy out a functional compass for the Grand Line with it...

Re: Log pose plot hole

No, you can't. They would all point to the same destination. Having more log poses on board doesn't mean they will point in different directions.

I think you mean four eternal poses, one for each island in the corners of the Grand Line. Am I right?

Re: Log pose plot hole

Evem then, do the lof / eternal poses point straight towards the next island, or maybe follow crooked lines, too? I mean, following something akin to magnetic field lines as you can see them here

In the latter case, it'd be very hard to navigate using eternal poses...

Re: Log pose plot hole

it's been discussed before.

There is no possible way to create a normal compass.

And it  would be too confusing even with eternal poses. and they'd only work within a small area.

And to get that to work right they'd have to build a pretty large wheel and remark each island name with north south east west.

Problem is the grand line isn't a SQUARE! it's a looong line. really big and goes all the way around the earth.

if you want me to make a map explaining why it will not work, let me know.

Igaram said that little garden path leads to Alabasta, after a few islands (sombody already pointed that out, shoulda read all the posts)... I dont think Igaram would have taken the eternal pose and left them to follow the path if it didn't lead there.

And you can't say for sure that the Alabasta path leads to Jaya or Sorajima because the people at the bar said that the log "somtimes" points to the sky - maybe because of the fact that its floating around the Jaya area, I dunno, maybe it only somtimes has priority over main Jaya - and the Sorajim path that they go on after the log sets may be the same as the path after Jaya, that part is left to complete speculation.  As of Skypiea, they're on the same path - if you count Shandra as a part of Jaya. ^_^

Re: Log pose plot hole

YEah but.

Watch the last Laboon episode where they meet mr 9 and vivi.

they show a map of the grand line. It seems paths CROSS each other at certain islands.

In other words each pathcm ay meet up with an island on another path, meaning some islands are on mroe than one path.

So on the same route or not,they skipped some islands.  This also means we arn't sure where they are on the grand line, assuming the map in Laboon arc is correct on basic positions and numbers.

Also, is it me or does vivi look different iin laboon, slightly changed in whiskey peak and then totally different after that?

I would think so. In Laboon, her hair and bangs were tied back. In later episodes, here bangs are to the sides.

Re: Log pose plot hole

Whatever the case with the log pose... After 4 days if you aren't following the path its pointing to, it resets itself.  So if you go astray for more then 4 days you'll end up on a new path. 

Vivi looks more innocent with her hair with the bangs down the side then with it all up.  After leaving Laboon, she starts showing emotions more and her eyebrows stop falling in that serious slightly evilish expression.  She generally looks more like a helpless young woman if anything.

Re: Log pose plot hole

Cody2526, one island never branches off into more than one other island, but they do join as you go along, there are no "forks in the road" on the routes, and they never intertwine (according to the map in the laboon episode).  The paths dont "CROSS" but they do "MERGE" with each other. So another path may also have lead to Alabasta at some point, but that doesn't change the fact that their first path still also lead to Alabasta, so they are still on the same path.

not necessarily. Enel isn't "made up" of that element all the time. He still has blood, internal organs, etc. and isn't just pure lightning or energy. but his power allows him to TURN into pure lightning, for however long he wants.

he is still technically a normal, but strong, human.

I think its likely that Gol D. Roger had one, and now it either distroyed or hidden in some place where no one will ever find it.

Or its in Luffy's hat and Luffy has no idea what it is.

Re: Log pose plot hole

Could someone tell me what episode it was that Igaram told the Mugiwaras that Arabasta was 3 or 4 islands away from Little Garden using the Log Pose?  My original understanding was that by following the Eternal Pose, they changed their original route, thus leading them from Arabasta to Skypiea, etc.

And he wasn't born with it.   He ate the fruit at some point and gained the power.  So it is quite possible others have been and will go to Skypiea and on to the next island, just like Gol D Roger did before Enel came to power and just like the Mugiwaras did after Luffy pwned Enel.

Re: Log pose plot hole

what amuses me is that no one thinks to use solar/lunar navigation. The sun/moon always rises in the east and sets in the west, use that and you have two cardinal directions which to navigate by. More reliable than a southbird or log pose any day.

There are near enough constant storms on the grand line. Nice thought though smile

WARNING: HEAVY MATHEMATICS

I must disagree with this. Even if it is not a square, it is a cylinder. And each point on the cylinder can be defined by the angle it makes with three other fixed points (which are not in line). For example, the fixed points Raftel, Whiskey Peak and Arabasta.

How to explain this. The only way to make sure the angle your ship makes with an island does not change is to sail straight towards it, or to sail perfectly straight away from the island. So if you have two islands, when you sail with two eternal poses, in order to make sure the relative angle of these poses does not change, you have to sale in any partial oval shape from one island to the other. (Remember that a straight line is a part from an oval with infinite dimensions. A circle is an oval with concurrent burning points.) However, if you add a third fixed point, which is not in line with those other two, the relative angle between those will be unique for each point at the surface of the cylinder.

Re: Log pose plot hole

i thought that since there were several different paths, if you moved to a different path using an eternal pose, you would follow the new path with the log pose, after it adjusts. not that many people went to skypiea probably because they had a similar thought like bellamy, that it was impossible to have an island in the sky. so, most people who had the log poses pointing to the sky changed to a different route, and the few that didnt probably died on the way their, or killed early upon arrival by guerillas.
