The hole in the ocean from your image is from the first [One Piece special](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Episode_Special_1).

As for the reason why it was there, this is what I could find:

So far we have seen two other "holes" in the anime.
The first of them being the whirlpool that is formed by the [Knock Up Stream](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Knock_Up_Stream).

The second one is seen in the [Maubeugemour Sea](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Maubeugemour_Sea) in [episode 575](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Episode_575) (this is a filler for the [One Piece Film Z](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/One_Piece_Film_Z)).
