User blog comment:Meganoide/The seven routes of the Grand Line, part one/@comment-4159709-20110902130808

the whole grand line is dangerous, because of the weather, and because of islands like Little Garden that has dinosaurs that were supposed to be extinguished millions of year ago. the grand line has also some incredibly strong peoples, marines and pirates. if other pirates were to sail in the straw hats route, they might have met some other strong people, turn to a different route like you said in your latest blog, or have some other adventures. the bottom line is that the grand line is an unexpected place where anything can happen, so yea, the straw hats adventures happened because of a lot of coincidences, but i'm sure it will never be easy to cross the grand line, even if you took the straw hats route. i'm sure, that in the new world, the straw hats will have a hard time on their route, and it won't be just coincidences...
