Current Events Massive timeline plot hole (the sulong full moon)

#1
it's about the full moon that makes the minks go sulong

i believe that oda made some kind of mistake regarding the timeline

facts:
-a full moon is an incident that happens only one time a month
-levely lasts for 7 days

since the night of the straw hat's escaped WCI until the raid on onigashima there's only been 18 days

Let's begin:

1- the night that the straw hats escaped from WCI, there was a full moon, and carrot and pekomes turned into sulong

2- in the morning of the next day, the news about what happened in WCI spread around the world, we learned that there's only 2 days left until levely starts

3- 2 days later, the news about the beginning of the levely are out, at the same time the straw hats arrived at wano country
this day wass also O-tama's birth day, all that stuff that happened in okobori town and kuri, and luffy meeting with the rest, and kin'emon telling them about oden's story and also the time of the raid which is in 2 weeks

4- after luffy fought against kaido he was sent to udon and stayed there for few days, until the start of act 2, in that chapter blackbeard was revealed, and he said to moria that 4 days has past since the revery started
5- later in chapter "big news" where the news about sabo came out, it was revealed that a week has past since the levely ended
in the night of the same day the raid on onigashima has begun, and it was a full moon night, where all the minks transformed into sulong on the rooftop
the rest you all know

conclusion: only 18 days has past since the last full moon, so did oda forgot about it? or is one piece world works by different rules?

i believe this detail has been overlooked by oda, the guy is rushing the story and he couldn't care less about this plot point, he thought that the readers will only focus on the fight.

With 6 moons in the One Piece World, they would all have varying cycles. One Moon might take a couple weeks to orbit the Planet, while another might take several months. The Moon that affects the Minks, most likely has a shorter rotation cycle.

It's like the Planets revolving around the Sun. Mercury only takes 88 days to do it, while Earth takes 365.
though it's not confirmed that one piece world has 6 moons, but you might actually have a point there

i just find it hard to accept given the fact that throughout the entire series we've never seen more than one moon in the sky

Fans tried tracking Moon Phases long ago
It's not like Real World
Full Moon doesn't appear Once a Month in One Piece World
everyone throughout the series seems to reference the same moon, so it'll make sense they would use it to measure time
day, month, year... have the same length in one piece world as they have in our world, so saying that the moon/sun/earth orbit in one piece is different from ours does not make any sense imo

This is a World where they use Snails to take Pics & Communicate & do so many Tasks. Same thing for Dials.
So they don't necessarily rely on the Moon to measure Time, & even if they do, just like in Real Life we studied & discovered Day, Month, Year Cycles. OP World did the same but simply used different calculations that somehow got to same results as us

i suppose one piece doesn't follow real world logic
at least i learned that sulong moon have a 18 day orbital period

Is a different world dude. Much bigger than ours. This is one of the things you have to accept as well as the existence of DF, haki, dials etc.
