Pirates: The first partner is Tom Cat

Some friends have some questions about the route, let me tell you briefly.

First, about Luffy’s route:

When they were at Twin Capes, Luffy and the others chose the Whiskey Peak route because of the request of Mr. 9 and Weiwei.

At Whiskey Peak, because Vivi's identity was exposed, Ikarem decided to sail with Alabasta's permanent pointer and a few dummies to distract the Baroque Works, and let Vivi and Luffy take a normal route with the record pointer, saying

It takes two or three islands to reach Alabasta.

To highlight the key points, [You can reach Alabasta after two or three islands starting from Whiskey Peak.]

Then Icarim was blown up before he could get far, and Robin gave Luffy their permanent pointer to Alabasta.

But Luffy crushed the permanent pointer on the grounds that "you shouldn't decide the course of this ship," and then followed the record pointer to the small garden.

The bad news is that it will take [one year] to fill up the records in the small garden. The good news is that Sanji accidentally killed the unlucky duo and captured the permanent pointer of Alabasta in the hut built by the third brother with candles.

So after leaving the small garden, the Straw Hats began to sail along the permanent pointer. At this time, the route they took was most likely not the previous route.

But Nami fell ill on the way, so everyone decided to ignore the permanent pointer and go find a doctor first, and finally arrived at Drum Island.

[Note that before this, because everyone went to take care of Nami, Zoro was solely responsible for the helm for a period of time. For well-known reasons, the position of the Straw Hats should be more difficult to determine at this time. 】

Based on this, it is completely impossible to determine whether Drum Island is on the original route of the Straw Hats.

Interestingly, in addition to the Straw Hats, there were two other characters on Drum Island, one was Blackbeard, and the other was Ace who was following Blackbeard.

Blackbeard's motive at this time is to capture Luffy and surrender to the government so that he can become the Shichibukai. Based on his experience, he probably knows this route very well. The fact that he can come to Magu Island shows that Magu Island is possible

On Luffy's route.

And before Ace left, someone told Luffy that he would wait for him in Alabasta for ten days, which further proves that after Drum Island is Alabasta.

After departing from Drum Island, they arrived at Alabasta according to the permanent pointer. According to Ikarem, after arriving at Alabasta, the Straw Hats returned to their original route.

So before arriving at Sky Island, it is basically no problem to say that the islands [Twin Capes - Whiskey Peak - Small Garden - Drum Island - Alabasta] are all on Luffy's original route, but there are two islands before and after Drum Island.

There may be an island skipped, or there may not be one.

If this small island exists, I boldly infer that it is a resort island, because Mr. 3 and Miss. went to the resort island for vacation during Golden Week before going to the small garden, and then received the mission to go to the small garden.

As for where Alabasta should be further back, it’s hard to say. After all, the magnetic record was taken away by the sky island halfway through the journey, and the position of the sky island in the sky is not completely fixed, so after they came down from the sky island, their route

There may have been changes, but because Kongdao was originally part of Gaya Island, the magnetic force on Kongdao may be the same as Gaya Island, and then their route has not changed. This cannot be determined.

Therefore, the ship-flow novels that you have seen in the past can basically explain what the routes are like, and there is no big problem.

Finally, back to me, when the protagonist group set off from the small garden, they used the Alabasta hands that they bought in Shampoo. It has been so long that everyone may have forgotten it. In addition, because Mr. 3, Mr. 5 and Mr. Valentine’s Day

He once formed a group to cause trouble and was caught by the protagonist, and the permanent pointer to Alabasta was also seized.

If you use the permanent pointer to go to Alabasta from the Little Garden, you will skip the Drum Island in the middle.
