So the radius of One piece world would be ~17200km as Earth is ~6380 km (~10,7 miles as Earth is ~ 3965 miles) Which is also 2,7 times bigger than our world.
Then comparing that to the redline, and finely that to the globe, and the one piece planet is 828,240 km in diameter. Because of how I calculated this it is likely a bit larger, as it’s almost impossible to account for the varying perspectives of the panels.

The world is an as-of-yet-unnamed planet on which One Piece takes place. While similar—if not identical—to real-life Earth in many aspects, it is drastically different in others.
The vast majority of the world is controlled by the World Government, which is publicly led by the Five Elders but is actually ruled in secret by Imu.
Dominating the world's surface is the Blue Sea, a body of saltwater broadly divided into quadrants: the East Blue, the West Blue, the North Blue, and the South Blue. These divisions are formed by two natural barriers that bisect the world at roughly perpendicular angles:
•The Grand Line, a relatively narrow strip of ocean infamous for its unnatural, rapidly-shifting climates and monstrous wildlife—as well as being enclosed by the completely wind- and current-free Calm Belt regions.
•The Red Line, a huge (and mostly barren) landmass that functions as the world's only true continent.
All parts of the Blue Sea—Grand Line and Calm Belts included—contain numerous islands supporting many different degrees of life. Travel between these islands is relatively simple in the four Blues, but significantly more complex in the Grand Line, where (in addition to the aforementioned hazards) many islands produce unique magnetic fields that render the magnets of ordinary compasses useless, necessitating special "Log Pose" compasses.
North and South poles, both reputedly very cold, have also been stated to exist. It is unknown where they are located, or whether they contain the actual magnetic poles that control compasses outside the Grand Line.
Because of this abdundance of water, the moon's ancient inhabitants referred to planet as the "Blue Star" (青色の星, Aoiro no Hoshi?).
Past
How long the world has existed is currently unknown. The largest figures of time given thus far have been speculative (and possibly hyperbolic) references to how certain natural phenomena may be "tens of thousands of years" old. Reference has also been made to an "ancient" age of dinosaurs, though it remains unclear whether this age is meant to have predated humankind as a whole. According to Clover, Ohara's Tree of Knowledge was created over 5,000 years ago. This is the oldest known recorded history that has been referenced in the series thus far. The Alubarna Palace in the Arabasta Kingdom was built over 4,000 years ago. The city of Shandora on Jaya was established over 1,100 years ago. The Mink Tribe's history of living on Zou began over 1,000 years ago. The Tontatta Tribe left their homeland and settled in Dressrosa over 900 years ago. The Great Kingdom existed until 800 years ago, when 20 Kingdoms fought and overthrew it. The one hundred years leading up to that was known as the Void Century, as no records of the events are kept with the exception of the Poneglyphs. After the Void Century, the World Government was formed by these 20 Kings. 19 of their families, including the Donquixote Family, moved to Mary Geoise, while only the Nefertari Family stayed in their original kingdom, the Arabasta Kingdom. The World Government banned research on Poneglyphs and covered up everything that happened in the Void Century. 700 years ago, a bridge was constructed on the East Blue island of Tequila Wolf and construction still continues to this day. 500 years ago, Oars appeared and caused chaos in the world; he would later be killed by frostbite. 400 years ago, a man named Mont Blanc Noland visited Green Bit, Vira and later Jaya. He went home to Lvneel to report his findings to the people. Unknown to him while he was away, half of Jaya was knocked up to the sky. When he returned with the king of Lvneel and his royal guards, he finds everyone and Shandora gone. The enraged king believed Noland to be a liar without hearing his side of the story, and Noland was executed and branded a liar. This would haunt his family up to the present. Sometime before 28 years ago, Gol D. Roger began his piracy career. 28 years ago, he began his final journey that lasted 3 years. Afterwards, he disbanded his crew and turned himself in. 24 years ago, he was executed in Loguetown and began the Great Age of Piracy by offering up his treasure, the One Piece. 22 years ago, Ohara was destroyed by a Buster Call after making great advancements in uncovering the Void Century. Only one person, Nico Robin, escaped alive. 10 years ago, the fish-man Arlong and his crew came from the Grand Line and began their conquest of the East Blue. 8 years ago, a Levely of Kings was held to discuss Monkey D. Dragon, who had just started a Revolutionary campaign against the World Government.
Pre-Timeskip
Monkey D. Luffy set out to begin living a life of piracy. His crew became notorious across the world as they took down two Warlords of the Sea and the secret government organization CP9, as well as destroying the judicial island Enies Lobby. However, they appeared to be exterminated by Bartholomew Kuma on Sabaody Archipelago, but were really split up and sent to different islands. During this time, the pirate Marshall D. Teach, better known as Blackbeard, captured Portgas D. Ace in order to become a Warlord of the Sea. The World Government decided to execute Ace in order to incite a war against Whitebeard, and this was talked about the world over. Before the execution, however, the World Government suffered a major blow when Luffy broke into Impel Down to save Ace and led 241 prisoners in a mass breakout, and had managed to do so with the help of the Warlord of the Sea Boa Hancock. Blackbeard would then go and break out several more of the most dangerous prisoners. This did not impede the planned execution of Ace, however, and the world became further shocked when they learned that Ace was the son of Gol D. Roger and Luffy was the son of Monkey D. Dragon. The Whitebeard Pirates arrived at Marineford and took on the Marines, but Ace and Whitebeard were eventually killed. However, Whitebeard announced to the entire world that the One Piece was real, and things only got worse for the World Government as Blackbeard arrived and took Whitebeard's power, announcing that this was now his age. Shanks then arrived and ended the war, as Luffy managed to escape with the help of the Heart Pirates. The strain from the Summit War of Marineford was such that it convinced two renowned veterans of the Marines Fleet Admiral Sengoku, and Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp, to retire from their duties, and convinced Smoker to transfer to G-5 to keep a closer eye on the New World.
Post-Timeskip
Over the next two years, great changes began taking place. Whitebeard's revelation began a new age of piracy, and Blackbeard usurped his position as one of the Four Emperors. Sakazuki became the new Fleet Admiral of the Marines, and the Marines relocated their base to the New World. The Marines drafted in new recruits worldwide to fight the ongoing threat of piracy, notably two new admirals, Issho and Ryokugyu, while Kuzan had left the Marines and appeared to have sided with Blackbeard. The Straw Hat Pirates returned after training for two years, and they entered the New World. In the New World, the Straw Hat Pirates formed an alliance with the Heart Pirates to take down the Emperor Kaidou, and their notoriety only grew when they took down Donquixote Doflamingo of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and captured his subordinate, Caesar Clown; Doflamingo considered his defeat to be the tipping point that would set off a chain of battles for supremacy over the seas. Three Supernova crews, the Kid Pirates, On Air Pirates, and Hawkins Pirates also made headlines when they formed an alliance to take down Shanks. Similarly, the Firetank Pirates aligned themselves with Charlotte Linlin, and Capone Bege ruthlessly carried out her orders. Figures in the Underworld were emerging and beginning to stockpile deadly weapons, and the Revolutionary Army investigated these ominous happenings.
In the Grand Line, there are islands which have their own climates and natural occurrences, such that people on these islands will dress to match it. Some islands in the Grand Line have unique cultures, such as Water 7, Dressrosa, Arabasta, Sabaody, Long Ring Long Land, Jaya, Skypiea, and Wano.
Compared to the Grand Line, there is less cultural diversity seen out in the North, West, South and East Blues. However, these oceans still have secluded islands and other locations with their own separate cultures and lifestyles, such as Kano Country in the West; Torino Kingdom in the South; Shimotsuki Village and Tequila Wolf in the East.
A world map was sketched by Eiichiro Oda when the series had reached the Loguetown Arc. Incomplete versions of this map were initially published in 2010 as part of "One Piece Grand Countdown" in Shonen Jump as well as the databook One Piece Green: Secret Pieces. The full map was finally published in One Piece Magazine Vol.9 in 2020.
This map includes a location called Corkwood (コークウッド, Kōkuuddo?), a cliff with a height of 10 kilometers near Reverse Mountain, as well as a World Government building known as King's House (キングスハウス, Kingusu Hausu?). It is unknown whether these locations exist in the canon story, as they have yet to appear in the series.
•Ohara's Tree of Knowledge, before its destruction, contained a geocentric model of the world with six natural satellites (which presumably includes the world's moon), one of which had a second body orbiting it. The world as shown in the model sits at a rough angle of about 24 to 25 degrees.
•It has been suggested that that there are over 20,000,000 islands in the world.
