Thoughts on the creation of the Calm Belt and how it relates to the Sea Kings and possibly the Red Line? Will Oda reveal the origins of all these locations?

A group of Sea Kings is scientifically called a "fuckton", also commonly known as a "fuck up" due to that being your last thought when you encounter them.

We actually have something similar to the calm belts in our world (minus the Sea Kings). There is a belt from around 5 degrees north and south of the equator where there is practically no wind or currents called the doldrums. The lack of wind is caused by the trade winds converging on each other in that area and deflecting each other. Sailing ships still get stuck in them to this day and when they do they can be stuck in them for weeks and risk running out of food and water. Oda may have taken inspiration from that, but added Sea Kings to make the Calm Belts even more dangerous.

I like the calm belt being created by the sea kings idea. Or a calm calm fruit awakening created it, similar to the theory of the weather on the islands being created by awakened fruit users. I hope that's where oda takes us with an explanation of the crazy weather patterns in one piece. I mean look at punk hazard. The awakened fruit changing weather permanently makes sense and could also explain the calm belt. I wonder if that's how the giant hole in the middle of the ocean got there as well. Let's hope oda explains all that one day.
