Some friends have some questions about the route, let's talk about it briefly.

First of all, about Luffy's route:

When they were in Twin Capes, Luffy chose the route Whiskey Peak because of Mr. 9 and Vivi's request.

At Whiskey Peak, where Vivi's identity is revealed, Ikalem decides to set sail with the permanent pointer of Alabastan and a few dummies to distract the attention of the Baroque workshop, allowing Vivi and Luffy to follow the record pointer on a normal route, saying that they can reach Alabastan after two or three islands.

Draw the key points, [two or three islands from the peak of Whiskey Mountain, you can reach Alabastan. 】

Then Ikalem doesn't get far before it's blown up, and Robin gives Luffy their permanent pointer to Alabastan.

But Luffy crushed the permanent pointer on the grounds that 'the course of this ship shouldn't be up to you', and then followed the record pointer to the small garden.

The bad news is that it will take [a year] for the small garden to fill up the records, and the good news is that Sanji accidentally killed the unlucky duo and seized the permanent pointer of Alabastan in the third brother's candle-made hut.

So after leaving the small garden, the Straw Hats began to sail along the permanent pointer, and at this time they were most likely not on the same route as before.

However, Nami fell ill on the way, and the group decided to ignore the permanent pointer and go to the doctor first, and finally arrived at Magnetic Drum Island.

[Note that before this, because everyone was taking care of Nami, Zoro was in charge of the helm alone for a while, and for well-known reasons, the location of the Straw Hats should be more difficult to determine at this time.] 】

Based on this, it is completely impossible to deduce whether Drum Island is on the original route of the Straw Hats.

Interestingly, in addition to the Straw Hats, there were two characters on Magnetic Drum Island, one was Blackbeard, and the other was Ace who tracked Blackbeard.

Blackbeard's motive at this time is to catch Luffy and give the government a vote, so as to become the Seven Martial Seas, with his experience, he probably knows this route very well, and he can come to Magnetic Drum Island to show that Magnetic Drum Island may be on Luffy's route (hey, I'm wrong here, Blackbeard still can't look down on Luffy at this time, nainai drops, I replied that it was actually swallowed, and I was forced to write it like this).

And before Ace left, he asked Luffy to say that he would wait for him in Alabastan for ten days, which showed that after Magnetic Drum Island, Alabastan would be followed.

After departing from Drum Island, they arrived in Alabastan according to the permanent pointer, and according to Ikalem, after arriving in Alabastan, the Straw Hats returned to their original route.

So before arriving at Sky Island, it is basically no problem to say that [Twin Capes - Whiskey Peak - Small Garden - Magnetic Drum Island - Alabastan] These islands are all on Luffy's original route, but there is a probability that Magnetic Drum Island has jumped a small island before and after, or it may not.

If there is a small island, I would venture to assume that it is a resort island, because Mr. 3 and Miss Golden Week had been vacationing on the island before going to the small garden, and then they were given the task to go to the small garden.

As for where Alabastan should be in the future, it's hard to say, after all, the magnetic record was taken away by the sky island halfway through, and the position of the sky island in the sky is not completely fixed, so the route may have changed again after they came down from the sky island, but because the sky island was originally part of Gaya Island, the magnetic force on the sky island may be the same as that of Gaya Island, and then their route still hasn't changed, which can't be determined.

Therefore, what you have seen before can basically make sense of the flow of ships and the route, and there is no big problem.

Finally coming back to me, the protagonist group set out from the small garden with the hands of Alabastan that they once bought in Chambord, which may have been forgotten for a long time. In addition, because Mr.3, Mr.5 and Mr. Valentine's Day had formed a group to do something and were arrested by the protagonist, and the permanent pointer of Alabastan was also seized.

If you go to Alabastan with a permanent pointer from the small garden, you will skip the Drum Island in the middle.
