Piracy? Unchanging facade in a new world!

Gaimon's treasure

A few days have passed on the island since I met Gaimon and the strange animals. Apparently these animals all inhabited the island before Gaimon had ever set foot on here. Even when subtly controlling the conversation and paying attention to micro-expressions and gesture he seemed to accept the bizarre nature of the creatures and never uttered a word of their unnaturalness. 

Additionally, assuming I can trust the information given from Gaimon then this is indeed a different world from my original entirely. Although, it seems to resemble the great age of piracy in the modern world in some ways it is also vastly different form that time period. 

For one the geography of the world is entirely different from any point in history books. Even the shifting of continents throughout the span of human history as I know it doesn't have any overlap with the general layout of this world. Even if the names of such locations have been completely changed due to Gaimon's skewed perception and mental state, none of it would line up with my world at any point in time.

Through further investigation and harsher questioning techniques, led to Gaimon having answers to most question which I asked. Either he has completely thought of every answer to his hypothetical scenario and this is one of the most ground-breaking pranks in history, or its all true.

The important facts can be summarised as:

· We are currently experiencing a grand age of piracy where many men have set sail in search for a great treasure held by the previous Pirate King. A title held by a vastly influential pirate dubbed Gold Roger in the past who led the masses to the sea from his execution grounds.

· The world is separated into 4 main seas all named after the cardinal directions. Access to these seas is cut-off due to the existence of the red line. This acts as an inverse version of the equator in our world as it travels along the y-axis of the world instead. The seas above and below each other are separated by a stretch of ocean called the calm belt which have no currents or breeze whatsoever and are teeming with dangerous creatures called sea kings. Meaning travel for the average person in this world is immensely difficult.

· Marines are the so-called police authority in this world. They act against pirates to keep the peace and protect the citizenry of the countless islands littering the seas.

· The location of Gold Roger's treasure is said to lie on an island lying at the end of the Grand line. A stretch of ocean which propagates from the red line and is sandwiched from both sides by the calm belt.

Any other information gained from Gaimon was either superfluous or pertained to personal experiences he held before coming onto the island. Although interesting they would likely hold no greater meaning or use for myself in the future.

Knowing at least this much is a great boon for now though. Imagine if Gaimon or these animals weren't on the island I could have assumed this were still my own world and that could've ended disastrously. For example; if I had manufactured a crude raft and set sail, any strong sea creatures could have capsized the vessel, and Japan's masterpiece would be no more.

Another increasingly interesting detail, which I uncovered through investigation is this world is much more different physically than my original. For example, I had seen Gaimon fall from cliffs and bound into trees from his box. In my original world this could result in broken bones or at least strong abrasions after such contact. However, he assured me that he was no worse for wear after these incidents even going so far as to say they happen quite often to him. This can only mean he is an anomaly in this world or the denizens of this plane are much sturdier than I'm used to. This doesn't entirely make sense as Gaimon doesn't seem to hold much more strength or technique than the average man.
