"Today, I want to tell all of you…"
"In both the present and the future, while our path will undoubtedly be filled with challenges and hardships, we still hold onto a dream…"
"This dream is deeply rooted in the heart of Totto Land. It is the reason I have led warriors of different races—unafraid of sacrifice, undeterred by danger—fighting for freedom. Despite all obstacles, braving the thorns, we have established the *Kingdom of Totto Land.*"
Upon the high platform, bathed in sunlight, the figure with wings stood tall and majestic.
Beneath the platform and before the screens, countless people held their breath, gazing up in awe and listening intently to his speech.
Of course, among them were pirates, commoners, nobles, navy personnel, and agents of the World Government. Some sneered, their expressions filled with derision and disbelief.
...
"I have a dream," the figure declared, his voice powerful and unwavering.
"I have a dream that one day Totto Land will become a paradise free from oppression, slavery, discrimination, conflict, and bloodshed."
"I have a dream that one day, across every inch of Totto Land, whether Fish-men, Lunarians, humans, or other intelligent races, we will all sit at the same table. No racial prejudice, no misunderstandings of language, no barriers of faith. Brothers and sisters of all races—elderly, young, women, men, boys, and girls—will gather together in happiness, harmony, and joy, living peaceful lives as one."
"I have a dream that one day, even the Red Line—a hell on earth where justice is absent, oppression reigns, and countless slaves are tortured and killed—will be bathed in the light of the sun, transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice."
"I have a dream that children of all races—Human, Lunarian, Fish-men, Three-Eye Tribe, Longarm Tribe, and others—will see each other as kin, hand in hand, advancing together."
"I have a dream that these children, from all walks of life, will hold hands, their faces bright with joyous smiles, playing happily together in a nation that is truly peaceful, kind, just, free, and equal."
"I have a dream that the deep valleys, towering peaks, and rugged roads will become smooth paths. That the light of justice will illuminate the earth, shining brightly upon all mankind."
At that moment, whether standing below the platform or before the projection screens, those who were listening intently couldn't help but gape in astonishment.
They stared at the towering and majestic figure, their expressions filled with shock and disbelief.
"El-sama!!"
"El-sama!!!"
Members of the Fallen Angel Pirates were stirred to their core. Their hearts surged with passion as they gazed at their leader with fervent admiration.
They knew this wasn't a lie or empty rhetoric. Their leader, the master of the Totto Land Kingdom, was truly leading them step by step toward this grand ideal, fulfilling the promises he had made to everyone.
...
"For these dreams to one day become reality, we will fight to the very end…"
At this point, El's tone shifted, pausing for emphasis. His gaze sharpened, radiating an overwhelming aura.
Raising his right hand, he clenched it into a fist. His voice was firm, resonating with determination:
"Whether it's the Navy, the World Government, other pirate factions, or any kingdom—if anyone dares to challenge our beliefs, to destroy what we are building, they will be utterly annihilated!"
"The sea beasts of Totto Land will become their coffins; the waves of Totto Land will become their graves!"
"To all the slaves persecuted and oppressed across the world, to all the brothers and sisters of different races still being discriminated against, rejected, and hunted—"
El's eyes were resolute as he stared ahead. His steady and magnetic voice continued to resonate:
"If you have nowhere to go, if there is no place left for you on this vast sea—then welcome to Totto Land!"
"If you cannot live on your knees, then summon the courage to stand tall and fight!"
"Come, let us roar our defiance at this world!"
"Totto Land welcomes you!!!"
…
"Ohhhh!!!"
"El-sama!!!"
"You are truly magnificent!!!"
Hearing El's speech, the crowd was overwhelmed. At that moment, countless people were infected by his invisible charisma, cheering and shouting in excitement.
Some were moved to tears, overwhelmed with guilt as they confessed their past prejudices.
Even across the world, those watching the broadcast or listening to the radio fell silent, stunned.
Regardless of their beliefs or skepticism, they couldn't help but be captivated.
"Is this guy really a pirate?"
"This sounds more like the embodiment of justice—a great visionary and spiritual leader!"
"A revolutionary fighting against fate and discrimination? Seriously?"
…
"Today, I declare the official establishment of the Totto Land Kingdom..."
Standing tall upon the platform, his flames blazing behind him, El's commanding presence shone brilliantly as he raised his arm high.
In a powerful voice, he proclaimed:
"This is a nation free from racial discrimination, free from slavery—a dreamland of liberty and equality!"
"Here, all races can live together in one country, on one island, on one piece of land—coexisting in harmony and happiness!"
"Starting today, the Altona Sea, the Bolivar Sea, and the Berix Sea are formally merged into the Totto Land Sea!"
"Starting today, all islands within the Totto Land Kingdom are exempt from taxes for three years. At the end of this period, all unreasonable levies and heavy taxes will be permanently abolished."
"The Totto Land Kingdom is young and full of potential. It needs everyone's cooperation to make it better and stronger..."
"We will also introduce new policies to regularly provide welfare and subsidies for the elderly, the sick, and the disabled who cannot support themselves."
"We will build hospitals, schools, parks, and amusement centers so that people can afford medical treatment, children can afford an education, and kids can grow up healthy and happy. Parents will be able to relax and spend quality time with their families, enjoying life to its fullest.
"In Totto Land, every citizen will live a happy and fulfilling life!"
"Ohhhh!!!"
"Amazing!!!"
"Long live El-sama!!!"
"Long live the Totto Land Kingdom!!!"
