Map talk:Entire World

Deletion
This is a map of the world of One Piece, Included with waypoints of the crew’s travels and other pirates, to help readers understand the geography and society of One Piece. I believe some action, even one map in the anime/manga side of fandom could help to further reinforce and escalate fanbase mapping efforts. Cartography has been assisting humans for centuries, so why is it taking another century for the community to put some effort into creating maps to assist and inform new and existing fans. With added hyperlinks or just flat out intractability, maps, especially in the realm of One Piece provide an often linear, and instinctively comprehensive graphic. This sort of graphic paired with interactability allows a reader to make visual connections between places, organizations, characters, historical events, objectives, etc, effectively deepening their understanding of the scale or reach of these connections. For anyone looking to get into One Piece but are daunted by the high chapter/episode count, getting to see a map, a quick visual representation of all the places they’ll watch the crew visit, is often enough to convince them to start the series (excluding prior interest or influence). And when I’m getting into a new game, it's great to have some form of atlas to go reference and help me rediscover or redo areas I may have missed my first time around. I want to see this trump card come to every applicable fandom, it may just take a nudge from a college student contributing to a massive community.

Maps are great, but that doesn't change the fact that this is a piece of fanart and therefore violates our image policies. If you can find a map from an official source to use, you can use that, but we can't keep this one as it stands. 18:14, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
