The Grand Line

The Grand Line is an ocean route which wraps around the entirety of Earth, south of the North and East Blues and north of the South and West Blues. It is separated from the oceans on the North and South by the Calm Belt. It is split into two sections by the Red Line, a vast ring-like continent that circles the globe: the first section is known as Paradise and the second is known as The New World. At the end of the New World and its last island, a secret stretch of land not known by most human beings can be found: The Dark Continent, which has only been visited by 2 pirate crews in the world.
Its most iconic fact and what draws many pirates and regular folk to it is its promise of treasure due to The One Piece being hidden somewhere in its territory, most likely in its last island, "Laugh Tale", which has only been visited by the king of the pirates himself.

=== Start ===
==== Reverse Mountain ====
The most common starting point to get to The Grand Line is Reverse Mountain, a mountain with 4 different rivers, each corresponding to a different sea, which all go upwards and converge at a point that launches most pirates to the start of The Grand Line.
==== Calm Belt ====
Another point that can be used to get to The Grand Line is the Calm Belt, known as a stretch of sea around the 2 sides of The Grand Line. It is not recommended in the slightest due to this section of the sea having no wind whatsoever and possessing the biggest population of Sea Kings in the entire world. 
The Calm Belt can only be traversed if the hull of the ship was coated by Seastone, which makes it invisible to any Sea Kings. This is the technique the World Government uses to enter The Grand Line with ease.
=== Paradise ===
Paradise is known as the first half of The Grand Line, it can only be traversed with a Log Pose due to all of its islands containing a massive amount of magnetic material in their soil. It is known by that name due to being considered a "Paradise" compared to its other half, the "New World".
It is called by many as a "pirate graveyard" due to the thousands of pirate crews that end up missing or dead, due to either mysterious, supernatural reasons or by its own periculosity. It is also called "a cartographer's nightmare" due to its constantly changing wind speeds and weather conditions, as well as being impossible to navigate without a Log Pose or an Eternal Pose.

=== New World ===
The New World is known as the second half of The Grand Line, and the most dangerous. It can only be accessed in 2 different ways, either going through the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, the capital city of The World Government, or by coating your ship with special resin from the Yarukiman Mangroves, located in the Sabaody Archipelago, then traversing under the Red Line through Fish-Man Island, located underwater.
It is known as the "New World" due to being considered by many pirates as a whole "new world" of adventure, and by its massive size compared to the first half of The Grand Line and the other seas on Earth. This stretch of sea is known to be extremely dangerous due to its grand population of Sea Kings, mysterious occurences, Devil Fruit users and due to being extremely difficult to navigate compared to the first half.
The last island of The New World is known as Laugh Tale, and it has only been visited by Gol D. Roger, the king of the pirates, and his crew, which has mastered all the seas in the world.

=== The Dark Continent ===
The Dark Continent is a secret part of Earth located near the island of Laugh Tale, and it is not related to The Grand Line, but can only be reached by traversing almost the entirety of its islands. It is not a part of the seas, but a giant, sprawling stretch of soil bigger than most of the land on the Earth's surface, full of some of the most powerful and evil creatures in the universe, who have taken refuge in a place hidden from civilization and almost completely unexplored and undocumented.
