ONE PIECE Chapter 1115 Confirmed Spoilers! | The 200-Meter Sea Level Rise from 1,000 Years Ago
The 200-Meter Sea Level Rise from 1,000 Years Ago
Vegapunk will reveal that the war during the Void Century was caused by a clash of differing ideologies. However, he explains that this conflict cannot be boiled down to simple concepts of right or wrong, good or evil. Vegapunk has previously mentioned that even he, a genius, cannot fully grasp whether Joy Boy was right or wrong.
Determining the value or morality of any ideology depends on how much it resonates with the individual. The Void Century was likely a time when the ideology of ruling others to maintain peace and order clashed with an ideology that valued individual freedom, a period that posed a crossroads for humanity’s potential progress.
It seems that Joy Boy fought against the First 20, but ultimately, he was defeated. Vegapunk seems to understand this, and he reveals to the world that as a result of that war, the sea level has risen by 200 meters since 1,000 years ago. This aligns with Vegapunk’s previous statements about the power source of Imu-sama’s Ancient Weapon, Uranus, which might have been misused, leading to the current configuration of the world’s islands—landmasses that survived the sea level rise, originally highlands or land raised by tectonic shifts.
This explanation makes me wonder if the old Wano Country, now submerged, wasn’t intentionally sunken but rather a victim of unavoidable circumstances due to the rising sea levels. If the Red Line has always been as it is now, it would have remained towering even after a 200-meter sea rise.
The World Government’s obsession with concealing the events of the Void Century might stem from the misuse of the Ancient Weapons, which caused the catastrophic sea level rise, reshaped the world, and led to the loss of countless lives. The present population of the ONE PIECE world has likely grown back to current levels after being drastically reduced, which might explain Saint Saturn’s comment about human lives being like insects—constantly proliferating.
As this information is being broadcast, the Five Elders are desperately trying to stop it.
