"Grand Line" like a siren lures the insatiable thirst for adventure, the glory of the pirate king and the insatiable curiosity for the secrets of the world. This is the way of extraordinary things; a clash of dreams and nightmares under the vast sky of One Piece.

History
The history of the Grand Line is closely intertwined with the historical past of these extraordinary pirates. Gold Roger is said to have followed this dangerous path, discovering many previously unknown islands along the way and further expanding the world of One Piece. His journey across the Great Line in search of the greatest treasure, One Piece, inspired a new generation of pirates. The Grand Line's volatile weather conditions and ocean currents tirelessly shaped its history. This unpredictability has resulted in numerous shipwrecks and stories of lost treasure, cementing the Grand Line's reputation as a place of danger and adventure. The most dangerous part of the Great Line is the New World. His unpredictable character is further enhanced here and only the most powerful pirates dare to cross him.
The Grand Line has also seen some decisive battles in the history of the One Piece universe. In the water was the Marineford War, a confrontational battle between Marines and Whitebeard Pirates. The aftermath of the war radically changed the power dynamics of pirates, ushering in a new era in the history of the Grand Line.
In addition, its reputation as a pirate graveyard suggests a dark history of its many failed voyages and lost lives. Nevertheless, the untold riches and ultimate treasure of the Grand Line continue to draw many to venture into the unknown.
In short, the story of the Grand Line is a vivid tapestry of extraordinary explorations, epic battles and legendary pirates, as noisy yet intriguing as the wind and current. As new stories continue to unfold, the Great Line remains a central figure in the ever-changing narrative of the One Piece universe.
Background
The Tranquil Lane, calm but deadly, teeming with giant sea kings beneath the calm waters. The lack of winds and currents that would otherwise aid navigation make it a terrifying and often suicidal path for ordinary pirates: a calm sea waiting for its prey.
On the other side is the Red Line, a vaguely mystical strip of land that divides the world in half like an unbreakable wall. It is believed to contain the sacred land of Mariejois and possibly hold the secrets of the Void Age, which the World Government prohibits from exploring.
But the real appeal of the Grand Line lies in its seemingly random scattering of islands, home to a myriad of unique cultures, powerful characters, and relics of the past. Each has its own unpredictability of the sea pattern, the magnetic forces that cause Log Poses, a navigation aid, to behave erratically, which creates excitement and risk.
In general, the Grand Line is not just a sea route, it is a stop that brings out the spirit of pirates and tests their strength. It's a journey where friendships deepen, secrets are revealed, and dreams merge into the vast sea, taking adventurers straight to the heart of their deepest desires: The One Piece.
