The red line, grand line and calm belt are artificially created

I’ve been thinking about this theory a lot. But never actually shared it on a forum. I’m gonna be honest I do not have any evidence, that is one of the main reasons I didn’t share it. So this is purely speculative yet quite interesting. So I ask you fellow nakama to read it and tell me what you think. The world in one piece is quite weirdly structured and don’t really make much sense. This in a world where Nami explained how islands are born from underground Vulcans. And here we have a continent that encircles the entire planet? I found it quite weird but didn’t question it. Until the introduction of Pica’s devil fruit. So I think the red line was artificially created 900 years ago by a user of Ishi ishi no mi. Pica was able to assimilate a lot of stone almost all of dressrosa and he isn’t a very strong character. We know that the strength of a DF user depends on his spirit. Streusen from the BM pirates was categorized as island level. Now imagine someone at the level of BM, Kaido, garp, sengoku, WB or gold Roger with the ishi ishi no mi and awakening. They could assimilate entire islands and even more and the sea water wouldn’t(probably) effect them since it is not their true body in touch with the water. By doing this someone could have created the red line. But why? That is the question I asked myself as well. 900 years ago 20 countries gathered together and attacked the Ancient kingdom. This kingdom had extraordinary technological advancements, military power etc. But why creat a red line and grand line? Simple: the AK knew they couldn’t win. So what they did is using DF they changed the topography of the entire world to make it almost impossible to reach laugh tale unless you knew where it is and the special road to get there. Aka 4 road PG. The isha isha no mi was used to create the red line. The jiki jiki no mi was used to greate the different magnetic fields on the grand line so that only the Log pose can help you travel. Jiki jiki no mi is kids fruit for those who do not know it automatically. With awakening the effect are permanent until changed by someone else with the same power. This is also the reason you can not get to Laugh tale with a log pose. A devil fruit that allows control of weather created the calm belt. I think this is gonna be Dragons fruit. It can’t be kaido because in the recent chapters it was explained that dragons summon thunderclouds but they do not control the weather entirely. And lastly Poseidon was used to make the sea kings watch over the calm belt. This made it so that the WG could not reach the AK(laugh tale) but in the process they trapped the fish man under the red line. The promise joy boy made was to free them again. And this is also the reason why there once was an all blue end the legend exists but there is none now. I could go in to more detail and what can happen, but since this is purely speculative I will stop here until I know what you guys think. P.S. I also thought that maybe the weapon Ouranos is like a DF enhancer to make ti possible to do this things on higher level. Like cerebro is used by Charles Xavier to enhance his abilities. And with the weapon Luffy will undo it. Kid will change the magnetic field, dragon the calm belt and pica can lose his DF to someone else.

i've always thought a giant strip continent with a structure in the middle was odd I'm not the most well-versed in geology or plate tectonics (someone call a plate tectonicist plz) but there should be no way the entire red line is one plate right or even multiple plates the just happen to be moving in one direction because that would mean fish man island would slowly be crushed. its almost like someone straight up welded the floor

This is a very interesting theory! The unusual shape of the continent definitely does spark some fantastical thoughts, hahah. The creation of the Red Line could definitely be artificial, I don't have any counterpoints to that theory and I actually quite like it. However, I do have a problem to propose for the idea of an artificial grand line (and/or calm belt). And that is the small island Little Garden. As you can read here, Little Garden is a prehistoric island, which means it has existed before humanity started recording history, and it was able to maintain prehistoric climate due to its position in the grand line. This means that the weird nature of the grand line must have been active since prehistoric times. At the very least local to Little Garden. I don't think humans existed back when Little Garden started being a dinosaur's habitat, but if they did, they probably didn't have access to or knowledge about devil fruits yet. Since this is canon information, I have my doubts about the grand line being made artificially. And if the grand line itself, the weirdest phenomenon in the One Piece world, wasn't made artificially, then a linear continent like the Red Line could very well be natural too. Those are my thoughts up until now!

Honestly, I used to be 100% on board the "The Red Line is man made and it will be destroyed and make the All Blue (and will also be the catalyst for the Noah to be used and for the people of Fishman Island to move up to the surface) by Luffy" theory, but with the recent revelation that King's race lived on the Red Line before being forced off it by the Celestial Dragons, I'm not sure about it anymore. It's still SUPER weird to me that there's just one giant continent dividing the planet in half though, so maybe it's still possible. Maybe the Lunarians created it? It could be as you said - as a defense mechanism. Maybe the Lunarians are sort of mythical, god-like creatures and that was their "heaven", so to speak? I don't know! The geography of this world is so strange, I'm just here for the ride. :
