Speculations Why terraforming makes no sense for One Piece

[Impact]

Most people don't think critically

What happens if you start moving pieces of the earth from place to place?

It disrupts natural ecosystems.

These develop because of the natural state of the world and cannot be changed because it would mean causing certain species to go extinct.

In theory, it sounds like a good idea, until people start making counterpoints. Isn't shaping the world to how you see fit a bit like acting like God?

What of the potential for natural disaster as a result of this intervention? Be sure, that's what it is. It is the act of intervening.

You may suggest that Imu had already changed the world, so it doesn't mean anything if Luffy tries to change it because it's already changed. That logic doesn't actually fly. Even if Imu changed it, that doesn't mean Luffy needs to go and re-arrange it to be optimal again.

In other words, the act of terraforming a planet is considered immoral by itself.

The One Piece world doesn't work like the real world does.

There are a lot of examples, let's say the Red Line. Nami said it was made up of multiple islands and each of them still retains it's own weather.

Another example is the Sandora island. It was sent up to the sky and yet it retains the ecosystem, nothing changed to the habitat at all, just everything got bigger.

It was also mentioned for a long time, the any abnormally grand line is likely the cause of DFs. DF is created by the desire of people, a power to manifest dreams into the world. Anything is possible.

Terraforming is not just about relocating a land to a new place, but also changing it's ecosystem. If people want to keep everything as it was, they can just do it. With the powerful mind of Vegapunk and ready to be shared to everyone, I think it won't be difficult to obtain the knowledge needed to terraform lands.
