For years - DECADES! - I accepted this explanation without question.

And then one day when I was on a walk it dawned on me, literally. YOU CAN NAVIGATE PERFECTLY WELL WITH THE SUN AND STARS.

In the world of One Piece, which lacks good maps, it would obviously be more challenging to get to a specific place, but it would be insanely easy to just head East until you hit something.

The whole shtick of the Grand Line - the calm belts, the weird magnetic fields, the set route - are all basically a narrative gimmick to trap the cast in a limited setting. Once they’re in this limited setting a lot of the contrived encounters feel less contrived and more of a natural consequence of how the world works. It’s totally arbitrary, but it’s the consistency, and even the consistency of the unpredictability, that makes it work.

If all you needed to do to find the One Piece was just climb the Red Line at Reverse Mountain and see what’s on the other side it wouldn’t be able to stay hidden for 800 years, and this would have been a much shorter - and more boring - story.

saw a one piece live action character impressions post that pegged luffy as having daddy issues which is hilarious to me because luffy has, like, the opposite of daddy issues. he has daddy solutions. if you hang out with luffy long enough, your father-related angst starts to resolve. this has happened to multiple characters.
