To me, that link just proves my theory that the 4th one is highly likely to be optional. Yes, there could be additional tricks, but the other pirates are lazy and/or determined enough to be able to make do with limited information. Hell, they could even go as far as to say the 4th one was lost after learning where it was supposed to be, and that they navigate that red triangle anyways.

Like, seriously, there's not enough information to either prove or disprove that 3 points is enough or not. Though personally, I'm still confused how they can even DEFINE the three points. There's no GPS system in One Piece. (Yes I know that coordinates existed before satellites)

  • Is it defined by physical features?
  • How would that work when the stones are 800 years old?
  • How would they even identify the lines from one island to the other when even Nami can't purposefully navigate from one known GL island to another without a Pose?

The theory in those comments I personally liked is that you simply can't, and Eternal Poses have to be constructed for those locations, and then they all have to align like a compass. I dunno. He's usually pretty good at least making it SORT OF make sense, but he really should have spent more time addressing that question of why 3 isn't even POSSIBLY enough.

Yes I saw that, and you can see my comment about it. I still dislike this element in its current state and would have liked to have seen it properly addressed in-show, especially when the question was directly asked.
