I can't believe that we had weeks of theory crafting and people thinking off all kinds of ways of discovering the ocean floor that i haven't seen a single one mentioning Cricket and the Saruyama Alliance

Really? i never saw one, and i even looked before posting specifically looking for posts including Cricket or the Saruyama Alliance

I remember seeing at least 2 of those.

One post was someone asking why Cricket and co never saw those cities underwater.

Well it did seem like they were diving in a very specific region. Maybe they didn't see much because they stayed around that one spot. Plus, much of what they were looking for was due to Noland's legend so perhaps the scope of the entire world's sea hiding countless lost civilizations was just way beyond their perspective.

Finding a sunken ruins in one location would be interesting, but likely difficult and based partly on luck, even for them. Extrapolating that to a global scale probably wasn't something that crossed their minds.

Plus, since the island had been launched into the sky, there probably weren't any ruins left aside from what had happened to fall. The knock up stream probably smashed them all to bits.

"Plus, much of what they were looking for was due to Noland's legend so perhaps the scope of the entire world's sea hiding countless lost civilizations was just way beyond their perspective."

This is such an important point. Navigating the deep sea in the One Piece world is already dangerous enough. But to expect any random group that maybe found remnants of an old city underwater to immediately conclude that 'the entire world keeps being systematically sunk' is insane.

There is a simple explanation. At 200 meters light already does not filter, so even if someone has ever been at that depth, being a Fishman, with a submarine or whatever, they could barley see in front of them anyway.

There's actually a very simple explanation for that, comparing the real world to One Piece world. Cities on earth take up about 2-3% of earths land surface area. And land surface area is only 29% of total earth surface area, let's round to 33.33% or 1/3rd. So with generous rounding, only 1% of earths surface area is cities. And the bottom of the ocean is quite dark, even at 200m only, so it would be really hard to see that far, so trying to find something you have to be directly above when diving, with only 1% chance of finding anything (if we are being generous) and even if you find something, you might not recognize it as due to ocean currents and other things slowly damaging it.

lmao if you remember 2 this means its like 0.00xx percentage.
