I've never been able to wrap my head around how quickly a ship can travel backwards through the Grand Line. For example, if the Straw Hats had to sail back to Paradise (say to protect Drum Island) what would be involved and how long would it take?

Well, quite frankly speaking, a ship going backwards isn't much different than a ship going forward. There are some instances in the series where we see big players traversing large chunks of the Grand Line, but in those cases we're talking of veteran crews with tons of experience and who possess several fleets and men operating in many seas, so that alone already makes it far easier. However, most importantly, I think it's just the fact that the Grand Line really isn't as massive as it might look, it's just that the Straw Hats stop at each island quite a bit. If you consider it, the Straw Hats only really went from Cactus Island, to Little Garden, to Alabasta (Drum was a detour), to Jaya, to Long Ring Long Land, to Water 7 and then Fishman Island (again, Thriller Bark was a detour). That's only six main islands in their route of crossing Paradise, so that should give you an idea of how it isn't quite that massive if you're just going through. Taking all their days traveling from island to island together, it's something you could get done in under a month, regardless of the direction you're going in. If the Straw Hats had to suddenly rush to Drum Island it would take them a few weeks, as it's certainly not an easy task to return there. I am mildly curious as to how you would navigate backwards given how log poses work (like with Lola sailing the Grand Line backwards), but perhaps it is done via the use of an eternal pose or some other method like that, would be nice to hear Oda expand on that!

Hello Arthur! Something from the last vivre-card databook made me curios. It tells us that Sai currently has a bounty of 210,000,000 belly. But that doesn't mean he is a threat/enemy to the WG? How comes he is allowed to be part of Reverie?

Hey, sorry for not replying earlier, for some reason Patreon didn't notify me To put it very simply, the reason is because the Happo Navy is considered in a sense the military of the Kano Kingdom, but while Kano is a country pertaining to the World Government, the Happo Navy are essentially just pirates, and thus they are hunted down. However, in such an event like the Reverie, with Sai working as the escort of King Ramen from Kano, I assume he's not hunted down despite his bounty because the Reverie exists as an exception for the sake of world relations. It might sound odd, but I feel like because the Reverie is such an important event, for the sake of escorting the kings safely, certain exceptions like these are allowed. Similarly, the Germa 66 were allowed to participate at the Reveries of the past (before losing their right due to breaking allegiance with the WG), even though they were deemed criminals by the World Government and hunted down for a long time for their pillaging and warmonging, so it does look like the Reverie really is that big of a deal to allow for things like these.
