----------
At the entrances of various Hoenn communities.
The live broadcast screen was blank, and the crowd grew increasingly anxious.
"What's the situation?"
"Did the Five Elders really appear?"
"Look, there's a picture!"
After an unknown period, the screen displayed an image again, but this time the camera was focused on Reverse Mountain.
Calm and peaceful.
Only the sound of water flowing into the sea.
"Has the war ended?"
The audience stared wide-eyed, but saw no traces left by the war.
Below Reverse Mountain, the Hoenn Marine soldiers were lined up, with Commander Daichi and Fleet Admiral Kuzan directly in front.
"What are they doing?"
Just as the audience was confused, Daichi walked alone toward Reverse Mountain, stopped at its base, and then placed his hand on the mountain wall.
Time passed minute by minute.
The scene seemed to have stopped, lasting a full ten minutes. Just as the audience grew impatient, the camera began to shake.
It should be said that Reverse Mountain was shaking.
As the camera zoomed out, the audience finally saw the truth!
Reverse Mountain was sinking!
"Is this... a dream?"
People all over the world stared blankly, unable to believe what they were seeing.
It must be fake - this is impossible!
Not only the audience, but also the Hoenn Marines and reporters on site were deeply shocked by the scene before them.
Although Reverse Mountain is called a mountain, it is essentially part of the Red Line, at least several kilometers high.
At this moment, the rock walls on both sides of Reverse Mountain had separated, and the main body of Reverse Mountain was continuously sinking like building blocks!
A miracle!
"Hmph, how ignorant!"
Daichi's subordinates, who had always followed him, proudly puffed out their chests. They had personally witnessed Daichi lifting islands and creating the Golden Route.
Sinking Reverse Mountain was indeed shocking.
But they firmly believed that as long as Daichi was serious, even sinking the Red Line would be no problem!
The tremor lasted for half an hour.
Reverse Mountain disappeared, and a huge canyon appeared, from which one could see the sky on the other side of the canyon.
The soldiers excitedly cheered with raised arms!
"Supreme Commander is mighty!"
"Supreme Commander is mighty!"
"Supreme Commander is mighty!"
They had witnessed a miracle with their own eyes!
At this moment, all the soldiers firmly believed.
Supreme Commander Daichi would surely be able to change this chaotic world.
And become the God of the New World!
Tens of miles away.
The Revolutionary Army's ship remained on the sea.
Looking at the strait that had appeared in the distance, everyone in the Revolutionary Army fell into a strange silence, too shocked to speak.
Even a fool would know the immense impact this strait would have on the world - no exaggeration.
A bridge connecting the world!
After a long silence.
Dragon faced his commanders and spoke the words hidden in his heart.
"Everyone, I want to lead the Revolutionary Army to join the Hoenn Government!"
The commanders looked at each other.
"Dragon, are you serious?"
"Yes!"
Dragon nodded seriously.
He had considered this idea for a long time. He came here this time because he was worried that the Hoenn Marines would be defeated by the World Government. Now, seeing the new strait, his resolve was even stronger.
That man can change the world!
He deeply admired Daichi, both for his power and his ideals.
Daichi had established the Hoenn Government in just a few years, bringing stability and peace to dozens of countries.
Meanwhile, he had spent twenty years, yet the Revolutionary Army's situation remained difficult, constantly hiding from the World Government's pursuit.
There was simply no comparison!
His dream was to overthrow the tyrannical rule of the World Government, and establishing the Revolutionary Army was merely a means. Now, he saw a more efficient, more stable, more excellent, and most likely successful path.
He was willing to assist that man!
Reverse Mountain Canyon.
As the swift seawater poured in, a river channel quickly appeared in the canyon, and an elephant trunk shark from the New World leaped out of the water.
Looking at the staring crowd, the elephant trunk shark blinked, and before it could react, a stone hit its head.
Disaster from the sky!
A bump grew on the shark's head, and its eyes turned into crosses.
"Jiehahahaha! I'm hungry!"
Daichi swung a rope, lassoed the shark, and dragged it ashore.
The battle with the Five Elders, plus sinking Reverse Mountain, had depleted his physical strength, leaving him starving and in desperate need of energy.
"Sanji, grill this for me."
Sanji looked at the Grand Canyon, tears streaming down his face, yet he didn't notice.
"All Blue!"
Although artificially created, this colossal canyon connected all sea areas, becoming a meeting point.
East Blue, West Blue, North Blue, South Blue, and the Grand Line and New World - six sea areas were connected.
Before long, this place would become the dream ocean where all ingredients gathered, the paradise for chefs, "All Blue"!
"Waaaah!"
Sanji fell to his knees, sobbing uncontrollably.
I found it - this is All Blue!
His dream had come true!
Daichi was startled.
Why did this kid suddenly cry like this? He was crying even harder than he did at Fish-Man Island - it was quite disturbing.
"Sanji, what's wrong?"
"I found All Blue!"
Sanji's tears and snot flowed together, his entire face crumpled.
"Oh, I see."
Daichi stroked his chin.
Since he had sunk Reverse Mountain, calling it Reverse Mountain was a bit inappropriate.
"In that case, let's call it the All Blue Strait!"
"We need to put up a sign!"
"And one at each sea area entrance too!"
Reverse Mountain relied on canals for ships to ascend and descend. Due to tidal influences, the river's current would change and was very swift, requiring high skill from navigators, and ships often crashed.
Now, the mountain was gone.
Ships from various sea areas only needed to sail into the strait to safely reach other sea areas, or even directly enter the New World.
It saved both worry and time!
His contribution was incredible!
"I've made such a great contribution, building a few toll booths shouldn't be too much, right? At most, I'll charge a little less for tolls!"
"Everyone will understand me!"
Daichi considered the possibility of establishing toll booths, even thinking about whether to move the Hoenn Headquarters there. From a geographical perspective alone, Reverse Mountain's strategic significance was even greater than the Holy Land, but its danger was also extremely high.
It was easy to build a city, but difficult to defend it.
He could consider it in the future, but for now, it was better to be stable.
Daichi looked at the previous battlefield.
The pits had been filled by him, and a large amount of soil had been pushed to the coast, causing the land area to increase several times over.
Building a town was no problem.
Such an excellent geographical location must not be wasted. Although there was nothing much there now, it could be developed as a tourist city and also serve as a supply point for passing ships.
Just consider it preparation for the headquarters' relocation!
"Let's rest first."
Daichi sat down cross-legged, waiting for the grilled shark feast.
The Marines also came ashore to rest, set up pots for cooking, and treated the wounded. This war had caused considerable damage.
However, only an army that remained steadfast after the baptism of war could be considered excellent - being strong in appearance was true strength.
At this moment, the world was still in great turmoil.
"Hoenn won!"
"Fool, the Marines didn't lose!"
"Hoenn is still at Reverse Mountain - they won this war!"
"Uh, wasn't it an exercise?"
"Oh oh oh! It's decided, I'm joining the Hoenn Marines!"
In the eyes of most people, the victor of this war was undoubtedly Hoenn. Not only did they destroy the World Government's toll booth, they also repelled the Marines led by two Admirals.
At the same time, Hoenn's justice and the World Government's corruption formed a stark contrast, which greatly increased the favor of people from all walks of life toward Hoenn.
Furthermore, this was the Hoenn Government's first large-scale military operation. Before this, the world didn't know much about Hoenn.
Now, they truly understood Hoenn's strength!
A new regime capable of directly confronting the World Government!
Its Supreme Commander Daichi, moreover, possessed power comparable to a god.
No, he was "God"!
The world was saved!
