One Piece: My Descendants All Become Monsters

"Marriage alliance!"

"Marriage alliance?"

"Hm?!"

Redfield spoke very calmly. Ike was stunned, while Newgate instantly raised an eyebrow.

The Edward brothers had considered what kind of good things Redfield might take out, but they had never expected him to make such a choice.

Clearly, it was somewhat absurd.

"Marriage alliance…" Ike raised an eyebrow, then said with interest, "Redfield, I have to say, your idea is rather interesting. Come on! Tell me, how do you intend to form this marriage alliance? Does your Baloric family still have other people?"

"Yes."

Behind Redfield, a figure wearing a pitch-black cloak gradually removed the hood, revealing a young and delicate face that looked almost like a doll. She had long blood-red hair, crimson eyes, and also a pair of adorable little fangs.

As she gradually removed the cloak from her body, Ike was also stunned.

Good grief.

Ahem, ahem, ahem~~~

Ike raised an eyebrow and asked, "Red Bat, is this woman from your Baloric family?"

Moreover!

"Baloric Alice." Redfield said very seriously, "My biological younger sister. I hope Alice can form a marriage alliance with your Edward Family."

Alice quietly stood behind Redfield without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

Only.

Looking at Alice, Ike frowned slightly. "That is…"

"Your Baloric family is a Vampire Clan?" Ike suddenly noticed that although they were very small, there were bat-like wings on Alice's back, only about the size of a palm. This made him look at Redfield in astonishment.

"Hm?!"

Redfield looked at Ike and was stunned, saying in surprise, "Ike, you actually know about the Vampire Clan?"

"Ah!"

"Sure enough!" Looking at Redfield's reaction, Ike already understood what it meant. He nodded in realization. "It's almost as I expected. Your Baloric clan really is part of the Vampire Clan. I truly didn't expect that the Vampire Clan, which should have been wiped out eight hundred years ago according to historical records, would actually appear."

The Vampire Clan.

To put it plainly.

The external characteristics of this race were similar to vampires. In fact, saying they were basically identical would not be an exaggeration at all.

And this race had already been completely dealt with eight hundred years ago.

The reason was very simple.

The most terrifying trait of the Vampire Clan was that as long as they drank blood, they could remain forever young and even gain eternal life. This was feared by all races. It could even be said that it was the first time humans and all the alien races had joined forces to exterminate the Vampire Clan.

"To be precise…" Redfield spoke at this moment, "the Baloric family are descendants of the Vampire Clan. It is just that our bloodline has already become extremely thin. Alice's bloodline has reverted to its ancestral state, but even then, she only has a few minor traits."

"So that's how it is."

Ike nodded in understanding. If that was the case, then it was understandable and very normal.

"So…" Ike sized up Alice and said, "Red Bat, you intend to have your younger sister, Baloric Alice, marry me? Through this method, you want the Edward Family to support and help you revive the Baloric family?"

"Yes!"

"Not enough!"

Ike shook his head without the slightest hesitation.

Not enough!

Not enough!

Although Alice was a precious last descendant of the Vampire Clan, and could even perhaps be the only surviving Vampire Clan descendant on the entire sea, she was still only a mixed-blood. It was simply not enough.

What a joke!

The Baloric family had been World Nobles. If he wanted to help such a family revive, the resources and price he needed to pay would be enormous. Ike would not do such a thing just because of one marriage alliance.

Be realistic, alright?!

As for whether Alice agreed or not?

Hehehe~~~

Do not think too much. To put it nicely, Alice was his younger sister. In reality, in such families, many women were used for marriage alliances.

"So…" Redfield continued, "I also prepared a gift for you."

Clap!

Clap!

Redfield clapped his hands. The second figure hidden beneath a black robe removed the cloak. Ike and Newgate were both rather curious about this person.

How should it be put?

Since the first person was Redfield's younger sister, then what about the second person?

What appeared was someone with a pair of long, slender human legs, as well as a fish tail. No! Ike looked at that tail and suddenly said softly, "That is a shark tail. Added to that…"

Ike raised his head and carefully examined her. She had sea-blue long hair, along with features on her body that were not especially obvious but still faintly visible, especially those ears.

"A merfolk?!" Ike even stood up in shock. Looking at the woman before him, he said very seriously, "It's actually a merfolk?"

This was not a joke.

Ike had truly never expected this.

Fish-Man Island!

Actually!

A very long time ago, Fish-Man Island did not only have the mermaid race and fish-man race. In the past, the fish-man race was undoubtedly the lowest race on Fish-Man Island, while the mermaid race and snake-man race were nobles.

However!

The true royal family was the merfolk race.

Only.

During a great conflict, the mermaid race expelled the snake-man race and exterminated all the merfolk. From that point on, the mermaid race became the ruler of Fish-Man Island.

Ike had truly never expected that a merfolk woman would appear before him. This was something he had never imagined.

"Her name is Suiji." Redfield pointed at the merfolk wearing an explosive collar and said very calmly, "Ike, just as you know, she is a member of the merfolk race. Aside from the marriage alliance, this is also a gift I prepared for you."

"A merfolk gift…"

"Truly…"

After his astonishment, Ike also sat back down and nodded. "It cannot be denied that a merfolk is indeed an extremely outstanding gift. However! I will still say the same thing, Red Bat. It is not enough!"

"To me!" Ike said very calmly, "Taking concubines is indeed something I need. But! At the same time, it is also not something I absolutely need."

"…"

Listening to Ike's words, Redfield's eyes became very serious. After remaining silent for a moment, he continued, "Ike, what exactly will it take for you to be willing to help me?"

"Very simple!"

"From today onward, the Baloric family becomes a subordinate family of the Edward Family."

Ike's voice came word by word.

However!

As Ike's voice fell, the entire reception hall became silent.

Almost instinctively, Newgate clenched one fist and stared at Redfield before him, already prepared for battle. If Redfield made any move, then! There would absolutely be no intention of showing mercy.

A subordinate family?!

What kind of concept was that?

The subordinate families of the Kozuki clan were the Amatsuki clan, the Kurozumi clan, the Uzuki clan, the Fugetsu clan, and the Shimotsuki clan.

All five great families belonged to the Kozuki clan as subordinate families. And in Wano Country, the powerful Kurozumi clan had been slaughtered almost to extinction simply because of the Kozuki clan's order. They did not even have the qualifications to resist.

This was the situation of a subordinate family.

At this very moment!

Would Redfield make such a choice?

To put it plainly!

If Redfield agreed, then from this day onward, he would be a retainer of the Edward Family.

Would he do it?!

This was not an easy decision to make. It could even be said that for anyone, this would be an extremely difficult decision.

"Edward Ike!"

Redfield softly murmured Ike's name. His voice was very calm, and his eyes were also exceptionally sharp.

He, the solitary Red Count and Red Earl of this sea, was actually being asked to become a retainer of the Edward Family?!

To be honest!

Redfield could not accept such a result.

But the problem was!

Redfield also had his own responsibility. He had to revive his family. If he could not revive it…

"Haah~~~"

He deeply exhaled a breath of turbid air, and Redfield gradually closed his eyes.

Ten minutes.

Twenty minutes.

One hour!!!

For a full hour, no one spoke. No one said a word.

This included Suiji. She had been captured by Redfield, so she naturally knew how arrogant this man was. She wanted to see what kind of choice this arrogant man would make when facing that golden-haired handsome man.

"Time?!" After remaining silent for a full hour, Redfield spoke in a hoarse voice. "What about the time? Ike! Can you give me a deadline?"

"Thirty years!"

Ike held up three fingers and said with great confidence, "Within thirty years, I can help the Baloric family restore its former status as World Nobles. Moreover, they will absolutely be recognized World Nobles."

"I want to find the Devil Fruit that once belonged to our family."

"The Bat-Bat Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Model: Vampire."

"Acceptable."

Redfield continued to state his demand, while Ike smiled and nodded. "Of course there is no problem. I know this Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit belonged to your Baloric family. It is a Devil Fruit originating from the Vampire Clan. I will find it for you."

Hearing Ike's words, spoken without the slightest hesitation, Redfield fell silent once again.

A moment later!

He no longer hesitated. Instead, his gaze became sharp, and his expression grew solemn as he said, "Then! I agree!"

Patrick Redfield!

He agreed.

Redfield understood clearly. Since he had come to the Edward Family and witnessed everything, he had seen the future of the Edward Family. In that case! He might as well gamble on it. He understood even more clearly that although he was arrogant enough, relying on his own ability alone, wanting to revive his family?

Hehehe~~~

That was impossible!

There was absolutely no way Redfield could revive his family with his strength alone. That was an undeniable fact. Because he was already a pirate, and trying to revive a family through the identity of a pirate?

That was absolutely impossible!

"Good!"

Looking at Redfield, the corner of Ike's mouth curled into a smile. He smiled and said, "Hattori, go to the treasury and retrieve the Vampire Fruit. At the same time! Bring the sake cups."

"Yes!"

Hattori's figure appeared from the darkness. Then he bowed slightly and withdrew.

Ike continued, "Redfield, drink the son's sake. From today onward, the Baloric family will be subordinate to the Edward Family."

"Mm~~~"

"As for how you address me, just call me Patriarch."

"As for my big brother…"

"That is up to the two of you."

Ike was not interested in the relationship between his big brother and Redfield. In any case, his big brother was carefree and probably would not care too much about this kind of thing.

"Gurararara~~~"

Newgate merely laughed loudly and said, "Red Bat, don't care too much."

Redfield also sat calmly on the sofa. Thinking about Ike's earlier order, he said, "You have the Vampire Fruit in your possession?"

"Yes!" Ike nodded. "Rocks established a rule. Recruiting people into the crew earns a Mythical Zoan reward. Big brother recruited four people in total, including you, and obtained four Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits. Among them was the Vampire Fruit."

Sphinx Fruit.

Anubis Fruit.

Vampire Fruit.

Werewolf Fruit.

These were the four Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits his big brother had brought back. However! Aside from the Vampire Fruit, the others were basically lower-tier fruits among Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits.

At first, Ike had considered whether to let his children eat them. But considering that his children were still young, he temporarily kept them. In the end, this had turned out well instead.

"My lord!"

Hattori held the Devil Fruit and placed it on the table before them.

At the same time!

The two ninjas following Hattori respectively placed two sake cups in front of Ike and Redfield.

Red sake cups.

The one before Ike was an extra-large cup.

The one before Redfield was a small sake cup.

In the original story, when the Straw Hat Grand Fleet was established, it used this kind of sake cup.

For this sea, once one drank the father's sake and the son's sake, it could no longer be changed. Jinbe had only been able to join the Straw Hat Pirates after enduring the test and returning the sake cup.

Do not think this was a joke. If one chose betrayal without returning it?

Hehehe~~~

One would be looked down upon for life. If you were a pirate who relied entirely on robbery, that would be one thing. But if you wanted to do anything else, no one would have any dealings with you, because you would be someone without credibility.

Redfield did not say any nonsense. Instead, he picked up the sake cup containing the son's sake and drank it in one gulp. Ike also drank the father's sake in one gulp.

As the two sake cups slowly fell.

The result!

It was already decided.

Everything seemed to have drawn to a close. All of this seemed to have happened far too quickly. Yet at the same time, it seemed somewhat incomprehensible that such a thing had happened at all.

Alice looked at the older brother before her. She had originally thought that the only one being sold would be herself. In the end, however, everything had been sold, even her brother himself.

At this moment!

Alice felt sorrow. As a member of the Baloric family, from the moment she was born, she had been required to work hard for the revival of the Baloric family.

Until today!

After spending countless efforts, the siblings had even sold themselves and sold all their remaining clan members. Although, in truth, the Baloric family only had a few stragglers left, which could not really be considered much of anything.

However!

This feeling…

A thousand words and ten thousand thoughts were still difficult to describe in language. She did not know how to describe it.

Compared to the complex emotions of the Baloric siblings, Suiji was different. She looked at Ike, this man who seemed young yet was actually filled with dominance, and a different crucial light shone in her eyes. She wanted it. She wanted it. She wanted it.

As the final descendant of the merfolk race, to Suiji, just like the Baloric siblings, she constantly wanted to reclaim the throne that had once belonged to her.

But!

With only herself left, forget reclaiming the throne—even returning to the fish-men could result in her dying without even knowing how if she was even slightly careless.

At this moment.

Looking at Ike, Suiji seemed to see hope. No! It should be said that she truly saw hope. This man could do it. He could help her. He could absolutely help her reclaim the throne that once belonged to her. The price was only becoming his wife or concubine.
