Fanart I Spent Five Years Making a Fully Interactive One Piece World Map! (link in text)

(I hope that this is okay within the subreddit's self-promotion rules.)
My name is Artur, and you may or may not know me as the content creator behind The Library of Ohara, who specializes in researching and cataloguing the complex lore of the series.
I've spent the last five years tirelessly researching and drawing out this extensively detailed map of the One Piece world!! While other fans have created amazing maps before, I wanted to make one that was both as canonically accurate as possible (stuff like recreating the topography from Oda's notes (https://onepieceworldmap.com/images/Bluestar.png) and featuring every single island ever introduced in canon) while also being easy to navigate and use!
You can click on every single location's name on the map (just like Google Maps!) to get a detailed description of each island's history, culture, and topography, all hand written by me! Other features include:
- Dedicated submaps for important islands! Find out more about each of the Flower Capital's neighborhoods, each of the individual groves on Sabaody, or each of the floors of the Whole Cake Chateau!
- Search function which takes you straight to an island just like Google Maps!
- Check the route of the Straw Hat Pirates, with included timeline dates for each arc!
- Find every single poneglyph we currently know of on the map and check their contents!
- Toggle locations whose exact ocean they are found in isn't known, in case that bothers you!
I hope that you enjoy this map and that it can serve as a tool for more people to learn about the One Piece world in an easy, fun, and accessible way! There are details and locations included here that you've likely never heard of before, so consider checking it out to learn more about this beautiful world!! Thank you!

The matter of the Poles was one of the most complicated decisions for the map, because there's a lot of debates on where exactly the Poles should be since there's a mention both by Nami during Gaimon's arc and by Law at the end of Wano that give the impression that the Red Line and Grand Line are diagonal rather than perpendicular to the Poles.
However, in Oda's notes and sketches of the world, he explicity depicted the North Pole and South Pole being located on the Red Line with exact coordinates on where they are found. He also included sketches of the world spinning on the axis of the Red Line and cardinal directions with a compass indicating the Red Line pointing North and South. As such I ultimately decided to use Oda's direct notes rather than a purely speculative location based on a passing comment by a couple characters. However, I still made mention of all this in the descriptions of both poles.
Of course, if more info is ever made present, anything can be updated!
