Its possible but One Piece just does not work that way.

Even I had idea like this earlier that if they take back-ward route from East Blue then they will come across Red line. And if they make a one nice push then they can reach the top in couple of days or months and if they get off on the other side, VALAAA they are on Raftel or somewhere near it. But then what would be fun in it and gave up the search,

But you have entrusting idea of walking along on the Red line and reaching the other side. It will be tough journey cause as Nami said there are all season islands on red line so you have to keep your health on top shape. other then that it possible but would it be fun? if they do that then they will be so much fun left out like..

Luffy meeting Shanks, Luffy meeting Dragon, Zoro and Mihawk fight, Sanji and All blue, Robin, Nami and rest of ST's dream un-successful and ect. ect. So just leave it to Oda like we always do and hope he has a good reason for taking the long route.
