Theory Ragnarok is upon us

#1
Ok so hear me out
Oda left the island of elbaf which clearly resembles norse myth as one of the final ones ever wondered why?
They also seems to have ties with the ancient kingdom and sun symbols are all over the place
Keep in mind that according to dory and brogy the only thing they can't destroy is the redline so obviously giants tried this and failed maybe cutting a hole as big as a way to make a detour from the upperside going downside. This has confluence to their ties to ancient kingdom too and wouldn't it be mandetory in terms of logistics and story progress for a final war to remove the redline? Atleast the reverse mountain
what if all of this is going connect to the endgame
What if elbaf is the start of the final war with relation to an story motif that signifies redline in the eyes of luffy?
Think about the symbolism in ragnarok we have a world going through world's end then devoured by water then a new era is bestowed upon men so this makes sense in one piece contect being an island to island world
Plus we have other hints to apocalypse too
Like for example the new yonko are symbolic for the four horsemen
We have the pale horseman of death (luffy)
Red horseman of war (shanks) (he actually has a lot of ties to elbaf speculated plus the fact that he highly resembles the traits of tyr being powerful but using it to stop wars and missing an arm to fenrir
Black horseman of famine (teach)
White horseman of conquest (buggy)
If redline really is the serpent soaked in blood then with luffy finishing unfinished business everywhere he goes fulfilling the motif of elbaf (lets assume they will give him good reasons to destroy the redline) will light up the greatest war and the good will prevail in the dawn of the new era

Kaido hitting Joyboy with his club, is similar to Luffy ringing the golden Bell with Enel. His attack is even called " 3 realms Ragnarok" ushering in a new era. Both created a sound: the drums of liberation and the liberating sound of the bell. Showing the existence of an ancient place.
Kosanze Ragnaraku (降三世(こうさんぜ)引奈落(ラグならく) Kōsanze Ragunaraku?, literally meaning "Conquered Three Worlds, Attracting Hell") - a clear reference to the end of the world Ragnarök.

Are the four horsemen related to the Norse myth of Ragnarok at all?
I believe the four horsemen are not in the norse mythos but oda might take a multi cultural approach towards his manga's apocalypse. The micro version being the ragnarok in elbaf and the macro being the four horsemen and second coming of joyboy
