Read the entire OP before you type a message.
Continuation of this thread here.I request nobody here except staff, CGMs, and knowledgeable members of One Piece who can verify facts or argue on the behalf of either of/more of the calculations we have here.
By knowledgeable and helpful members, I am including the likes of the following.
@Eminiteable, @KobsterHope07, @Arc7Kuroi, @GodlyCharmander, @XDragnoir, @LordGinSama.
If you are not them, ask for permission by someone who knows who is considered knowledgeable of who are the knowledgeable members of One Piece, including the likes of Me and @Damage3245.
Don't discuss calculations other than ones that ONLY involve planet sizes.
Let's begin.
We have (officially) accepted a larger One Piece planet, and we've accepted the fact that we can calc it.So far, I have produced 2 calculations for the size of the planet with it's own pros and cons.

As the person who made the calculations, I can speak on the validation, amount of assumptions, justifications for assumptions, and more.
Zunesha Version
Method
This method involved no pixelscaling at all, and all that was used was pure math. Pixelscaling was only used to calc a support for a questionable result.There is a huge elephant in the One Piece verse named Zunesha who is always walking.
He has been moving for a Millennium, but as we don't know his locations from that point in time, we can use its movements for a canon timeframe that we see him. We first see him in the New World, and we last see him in the New World, a point straight down in the New World from his previous location.
In the blog, I linked an imgur link calculating the amount of time since Zunesha's first appearance and his most recent showing, which provided me 35 days.
Using the Square Cube Law, I was given a speed of 2011.68 m/s. As I was informed that the value did seem pretty high, I calculated one of his walking values in the anime using a second as a timeframe (just used the second of the anime), giving 2690.92 m/s as support. I didn't use that because it would be calc stacking, plus I wanted to avoid pixelscaling, and I just used the Square Cube Law method for his speed.
After I calculated that, I knew that he had only walked through the New World, which is half of the Grand Line, which is the Equator of the planet, as Zunesha would've had to cross the red line in that time, which he didn't do and is impossible for him to do because of the height. I multiplied it by 2 to account for the entire Equator, then I found its diameter via using that number as the circumference.
Assumptions
There is an assumption that Zunesha moved less than the length of the New World.Justifications
The Grand Line's width is calculated from its only showing compared to the rest of the world as 14 times less than the actual length of the Grand Line. We can also look at it and see that it's astronomically smaller.Now with that being said, the New World/Grand Line has 2 borders dubbed the Calm Belt.
The Calm Belt is filled with Sea Kings, ginormous creatures known for destroying ships and such.
The Thousand Sunny, the ship that the cast uses, was anchored to Zunesha's leg. We specifically see that it is untouched, and we're stated that it appears to have no external damage.
This means that in the 10 day journey, they didn't stray off to the Calm Belt.
Another thing is the apparent assumption made about the direction of Zunesha. "Zunesha didn't walk in a straight line" is the issue.
The Straw Hats rode Zunesha, and they were specifically supposed to go to specific places, which would've been ruined if Zunesha took them off track.
Nami, the ship's navigator, reported no issues about Zunesha taking them off their trail. It's important to know that the Straw Hats' trail involved going down the New World, and if Zunesha took any detours, there would be a huge issue.
With that being said, the argument that "Zunesha didn't walk in a straight line" is humorous.
Zunesha has never been showed to not move in a straight line. Whenever we see Zunesha, we see it going in the same direction. We never get a statement of it turning and we never see it turning.
Nothing implies Zunesha had turned.
Now Zunesha clearly didn't cross the Red Line. I say that because it flat out didn't.
The Straw Hats got off their journey and was still in the New World, which means they didn't cross the Red Line.
They couldn't risk crossing the Red Line, as they already went through hell and back just to cross it.
The Red Line is also too high for Zunesha to move across.
I lowballed Zunesha's distance covered as the entire New World because we couldn't calculate or assume where Zunesha was or where he moved.
Alabasta Version
Method
This method involves pixelscaling. It was relatively a very easy and simple calculation to do.We are give a distance of a river on an island in the Grand Line, 50 kilometers. We were given panels of the island in comparison to its surroundings, and I used that as the width of the Grand Line.
In support of the 50 km distance, Calaca put together a very good blog explaining why the 50 km distance was consistent.
Using that, I calced the size of the island, then I calced the width of the Grand Line.
I did that, then I calced the width to the planet's diameter. Using the curvature method in reverse, I found the "corrected planet size" and ratio'd the result to the true planet size.
Assumptions
"The picture we see is the width of the Grand Line".Justifications
Same thing as above. There is no Sea Kings beside it, which means that this picture is not including the Calm Belt, the borders of the Grand Line.I also lowballed the calculation, as we can't see the entire width of the Grand Line, meaning this could be higher.
Conclusion
Method
First one didn't use pixelscaling and used a lowballed distance calculated by a canonical timeframe and a square cubed law speed supported by a calculation.Second one used pixelscaling between 3 images and used a lowballed distance to account for a portion of the planet, pixelscaling that portion to the entire thing.
Assumption
First one assumed Zunesha covered less than the distance in the Grand Line.Second one assumed that the picture shown was actually the width of the Grand Line.
Justifications
First one has a lot of reasons to why Zunesha covered less distance.Second one didn't require a lot of reasons, it just required the fact that the Calm Belt is out of sight.
They both lowballed the distance.
This thread will be used to see if any calculation is better. I ask that nobody type calcs in here, and if you have any other calcs to impose, please blog them and link them.
Let's discuss!
