"The Grand Line and the Red Line divide the world into four seas: East Blue, West Blue, South Blue, and North Blue. The currents from these four seas converge at a single point and flow into the Grand Line... That point is Reverse Mountain!"

Drawing upon his vast knowledge, Ian navigated the changing currents with calm confidence. Tashigi, ever the curious observer, gazed around in wonder, explaining the geographical features to him.

Ahead, through the misty haze, a majestic expanse of red land emerged, stretching as far as the eye could see: the Red Line.

"A magnificent sight. So that's the Red Line..." Ian murmured, his gaze fixed on the colossal wall of earth that divided the world. Witnessing it firsthand was far more impactful than observing it from a detached, god-like perspective. A flicker of awe crossed his eyes.

He glanced towards the parallel Grand Line, the route leading to Laugh Tale, the final island. It was likely hidden somewhere within that misty expanse. However...

Without the guidance of the Road Poneglyphs, even reaching the end of the Grand Line wouldn't guarantee finding Laugh Tale. One would simply be lost, wandering aimlessly like a fly trapped in a bottle. This had deterred countless pirates and adventurers seeking shortcuts to the ultimate treasure.

Ian quickly averted his gaze. He held little interest in Laugh Tale or the One Piece itself. His curiosity was purely academic, a mild intrigue about the nature of the treasure and its connection to the Void Century. Even if it held the power to reshape the world, so what?

He wasn't from this world, after all. Absolute strength was his primary focus.

The All Blue, a legendary sea containing all the ingredients from the four seas, was the shared dream of Sanji, the Straw Hat Pirates' chef, his mentor Zeff, and countless other culinary artists.

However, the marine life of the four seas had evolved independently due to the geographical barriers of the Red Line and the Grand Line.

Legend spoke of a sea where all the fish from the four seas gathered, a paradise for chefs. But its existence remained a mystery. Zeff believed that if it existed, it must be within the Grand Line.

Reverse Mountain, with its treacherous currents, would likely sweep any fish away. Even if fish from the four seas could gather in a single location, finding a habitat suitable for all of them was another matter entirely.

Just as tropical fish could only survive in warm waters, the All Blue would require a unique environment capable of supporting diverse species.

Perhaps it did exist, not within the Grand Line, but at Reverse Mountain itself. If the Hollow Earth theory held any merit, and considering that the One Piece world was predominantly ocean, the intersection of two spheres...

The center point... Perhaps that was the All Blue.

Whoosh! As their small boat approached Reverse Mountain, the currents grew stronger and more turbulent.

Under Tashigi's skillful navigation, they managed to enter the canal leading up the mountain, ascending against the raging currents towards the summit.

The Twin Capes lighthouse gradually came into view. An elderly man sat there, reading a newspaper and basking in the sun. He turned towards the canal, his gaze following the small boat as it descended from Reverse Mountain. He was Crocus, the caretaker of the Twin Capes lighthouse, former doctor of the Roger Pirates, and Laboon's longtime guardian.
