A year ago, when dicussing chapter 106 with someone, a question came to my mind...

How would the wall Titans cross the sea? Because if the Great Rumbling is a real threat, that means there is a way for all of those Titans to cross the sea. There are a few possibilities that came to my mind, but they all have their weaknesses...

- They would walk on the sea ground. That's the most evident possibility, and as we saw with the the Lago attack (evocated in chapter 114 and depicted in season 2 ending), Titans came from the sea, meaning they can walk under the water. But I doubt they came from the other side of the ocean, most likely they were transformed nearby or walked near the coast but under the water. The problem with the wall Titans crossing the sea by walking on the ground (with high depths) is pressure... In AoT, it has been established that Titans have a light body (compared to their size), so I assume they're proportionally crushed by high pressure even more easily than people. It's pretty safe to assume that the sea between Marley and Paradise is deeper than just a few meters, and that Titans will necessarilly meet a too high pressure.

- They will float or swim. Yeah, seems stupid, especially as it's nearly confirmed that they don't swim or float (Lago attack). Even if they did, I don't see them swiming all the way to Marley (would be funny tho), and if they were just floating, they will end up back on the shores of Paradise.

- Using hardening to create a bridge between Marley and Eldia. That would solve the problems related to pressure or floating, but how much time such a bridge would need... And how much energy...

- Boats. That would need LOTS of boats (and big enough to support the weight of one 50-meters Titan, eventually more.)

- The power of the Founder will be used to give them wings and they'll fly. Just joking, but that reminds me of the time where some people were theorizing of the Warhammer Titan being a flying Titan because of a sentence said by Calvi in Middle-East.

To be honest, if the Great Rumbling happens for real, and they cross the sea, I think it'll be my first option. Visually speaking, it's the best one, and more terrifying for the people that live on the shore. Of course, there is pressure, but I think that here it won't be an issue (well it should be, but for storytelling purposes, if the Great Rumbling has to happen, pressure won't be an issue).
