Yeah, I've always thought that there's an actual plot hole here. There is no way they could reliably find another island without a log pose. I agree completely with you, they should have had a regular log pose as well (like for example there could have been a bunch from the dead people at Little Garden), and have the choice to go to the neares island or straight to Alabasta. I think the point Vivi is making about the fastest way the ship travels isn't about Nami's skill though, but rather that she's saying that the well being of the crew always comes first. But yes, this is an instance where I think Oda probably didn't have time to work out the details properly.

2023-12-28 10:56:14 +0000 UTCYou also need to understand Luffy’s sense of adventure stops him from going straight to a specific island, unlike most common people who will voyage using eternal poses. Oda introduced the log pose as a mean to keep the characters from going straight to the end, then in whiskey peak gave the characters a way out of that by introducing an eternal pose to nothing at all island which luffy refuses, then in little garden he introduces straightaway a situation where following the log is NO good as it takes a whole year to log, so luffy HAS to use an eternal logpose to go to alabasta. I think in three small arcs Oda showed us all the possibilities of travelling thr grand line and Luffys stance on this journey

2023-12-28 10:52:55 +0000 UTCso a Pose takes the place of a compass once you enter the grand line. everyone who enters the grand line starts at a different point due to different circumstances such as weather. no two ships will travel down the same path because where you go is determine by the very first Island you start at. vivi and Mr. 9 ask if they could hitch a ride to their supposedly hometown which was a bounty base. that Island ultimately decided luffy path with magnetic force connecting it to the next island. but a eternal Pose points to one island only no matter how far away it is. meaning in theory you can pass 1 or more islands in between before you get to the Eternal Pose island destination. as for Nami role she is more like a Meteorologist. the weather can force the ship off core even with a Pose. so knowing that will help you stay on course. other than that Oda is very smart and uses information from different fields and other culture from around the real world to build this world. the earlier episodes were very much firmly established for the foundation of the world. between reading the manga and Oda previous works before one piece, you will appreciation the effort he put into the story. its unmatched. but my best advice I can give you at this time is pay attention when information is being explained because everything and mean everything is connected.

2023-12-28 10:52:48 +0000 UTCLayman's interpretation of the navigation thing: Even following an arrow is not so simple. Especially on sea. The arrow only helps you to keep your direction. It doesn't account for stuff on the way. Like currents, whirlpools, shallow water and probably other things I can't think of right now. Accounting for the special conditions in the grand line probably enhances those problems. With the eternal poses the problems get worse as you have an even longer straight line through uncharted waters where you can stumble upon multiple islands in the way to your goal. Of course there is some plot conveniences. For me the navigation usually isn't one ;) (Assuming no one commented on it in the uncut oO)
