One Piece: My Descendants All Become Monsters

"My lord, the Den Den Mushi."

"Leave it."

"Yes!"

The ninja placed the Den Den Mushi down, then bowed and left.

Ike connected the Den Den Mushi.

"Big brother." Ike's voice was very calm as he asked, "Did something happen?"

"Ah!" Newgate's voice came through, full of interest. "Ike, a force from the Grand Line is planning to wipe out the Edward Family and bring the Totto Land sea area under their control!"

"Huh?!"

"They're that brave?"

Ike was stunned and could not help complaining, "Or is this three superpower-level forces joining hands? Or four superpower-level forces? Maybe even five?"

This was no joke!

In Ike's view, superpowers having Admiral-level combatants as their foundation was something beyond doubt.

However!

Admiral-level combatants were not so easy to cultivate. Each one was a pillar that held up the sky and stabilized the sea. Under such circumstances, superpowers usually only had one Admiral-level combatant. At most! At most! They might have two.

You expect them to take those people out to fight the Edward Family to the death?

Most importantly!

If the Totto Land sea area had extremely abundant resources, then that would be one thing. Although the Totto Land sea area was easy to defend and hard to attack, internally, this sea area was mostly a gathering place for food. Food was naturally important.

But!

This world truly did not lack food. So there was absolutely no need to risk their lives for it.

Precisely because of that.

Ike genuinely felt this was strange. They had come directly from the Grand Line into the New World just for the Totto Land sea area?

What did that mean?

Were they risking their lives?!

"Gurararara~~~"

Listening to his younger brother complain, Newgate also laughed boldly. "Ike! I don't know exactly what their goal is, but! I do know their identities. It's a coalition of some underground organizations. There seem to be quite a lot of them, around a dozen or so underground organizations."

"Huh?!"

Ike became even more confused.

Of course.

It was not that underground organizations could not be powerful. The clearest example everyone knew was the five great mafia families of the West Blue. That was right, the five great West Blue mafia families where the future Supernova, Capone Bege, came from.

These five mafia families controlled the underground world of the West Blue. Their resources, supplies, wealth, and every other aspect were all extremely astonishing.

Most importantly.

They had formed an Elder Council, and within this Elder Council were the powerhouses of the five families, including hidden Admiral-level combatants. Precisely because of that, even if the five great mafia families fought each other to the death, it did not matter.

Although there were five baskets, no matter who took the eggs, they still belonged to their own side!

However!

This did not mean that many underground organizations were powerful!

Compared to superpowers, powerful underground organizations were extremely rare.

"So…" Ike raised an eyebrow and complained, "Big brother! Underground organizations from the Grand Line have entered the New World, joined forces, and plan to directly attack our family in the Totto Land sea area?"

"I didn't say that wrong, right?!"

"That's right!"

Newgate calmly nodded, while Ike truly complained, "This is even more absurd, alright?! What the hell is this? In the New World, of all the people they could trouble, they chose our family? No! No! Something about this situation is definitely not right."

Ike was not an idiot. This situation was obviously wrong.

Absolutely!

Absolutely!

Absolutely!

Even if he were beaten to death, Ike would still feel that something was off.

"My lord!" At this moment, the ninja appeared once more, holding another Den Den Mushi. He respectfully said, "A call from Lord Red Count."

"Put it down."

"Yes!"

The Den Den Mushi was placed down, and the ninja withdrew. Ike then connected the Den Den Mushi.

Very soon.

Through the large central receiver on his side, the three Den Den Mushi were connected together.

"Gurararara~~~"

Newgate looked at Redfield, who had joined the call, and laughed loudly. "Red Bat, did you get the news too?"

"Mm." Redfield was stunned when he heard Newgate's voice, but he quickly reacted and nodded. "It seems the Patriarch has also already received the news. The underground organizations entering the New World from the Grand Line total seventeen organizations. The situation between them is very strange."

"To be precise."

"Before they formed this coalition, they had no dealings with one another at all. Their businesses were also extremely varied."

"It could even be said!"

"Among them, three underground organizations were once hostile enemies."

"Only!"

"They suddenly formed an alliance."

"I see!" Ike listened to Redfield's words, thought for a moment, and asked, "Red Bat, is the intelligence accurate?"

"Accurate!" Redfield nodded. "This news has already spread throughout the underground world. Patriarch, you should also establish an intelligence organization. Otherwise…"

"It really should be done!" Ike nodded. It was undeniable that an intelligence organization was truly very important.

Otherwise?!

The current situation was like having both eyes smeared black. It felt no different from being blind.

However!

Ike still shook his head. "Sure enough! Just as I guessed, someone is stirring things up from behind."

Boom!

Boom!

At that moment, the roar of cannon fire rang out.

"Kill!"

"You bastards from the Rocks Pirates!"

"Slaughter those bastards!"

"Roar!"

Ike was stunned and asked, "Red Bat, are you in the middle of something?"

"Gurararara~~~"

Newgate laughed and teased, "Red Bat, your mission still isn't finished?"

"It will be dealt with soon." Redfield was neither hurried nor impatient. As time passed, after about ten minutes, everything returned to calm. Redfield spoke again. "Everything has been handled."

During those ten minutes, Ike had also learned from his big brother that Redfield had taken action against a pirate crew that had actually dared to provoke the Rocks Pirates.

To put it plainly.

He was out on a mission.

Ike narrowed his eyes slightly and considered, "Big brother, who do you think is trying to act against the Edward Family from behind?"

"The Eternal Kingdom?" Newgate gave this answer and spread his hands. "I can't think of anyone else. Aside from the Eternal Kingdom, it's not like we brothers have grudges with anyone else, right?"

Good grief! Good grief!

Ike could not help wanting to complain. No grudges? Ah, right! That was almost true. Based on his big brother's way of doing things, if there was a grudge, he would directly wipe out the entire family. There really were not many enemies left. Aside from the Eternal Kingdom, there were only two or three insignificant small fries that did not need to be taken seriously.

"It cannot be the Eternal Kingdom." Redfield shook his head. "The reason is simple. The old king of the Eternal Kingdom has just passed away, and now! The three princes of the Eternal Kingdom are trying to obtain the throne. They have no time to act against the Edward Family."

"That really is strange…"

Ike rubbed the space between his brows and said oddly, "No joke! Someone capable of making seventeen underground organizations form a coalition definitely has no weak influence. Who could such a major figure be?"

This force had nothing to do with the Adam Kingdom or Steel Empire, and it was not the Eternal Kingdom's previous army of four hundred thousand. It was a separate coalition formed by seventeen underground organizations.

"Ah!" Newgate asked strangely, "Ike, the World Government?"

"Impossible!" Ike shook his head. "Big brother, for this little bit of stuff our family has, the Five Elders would not go so far as to act against us. Besides, in the New World, the Steel Empire, the Eternal Kingdom, and the Adam Kingdom are the three superpowers dividing the cake. However, only the Eternal Kingdom had directly attacked the Edward Family before. The Steel Empire and Adam Kingdom had not moved. The Five Elders had long been dissatisfied with the three superpowers' influence."

"If nothing unexpected happens!"

"To the Five Elders, they are probably eager for our Edward Family's strength to become a little stronger, as long as it stays within a controllable range, helping the World Government weaken the strength of the three superpowers and better control the New World."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk~~~"

Newgate curled his lips and said with a bored expression, "Alright! Alright! Leave this kind of scheming to you people. I'm not good at this stuff."

"Patriarch." Redfield also said calmly, "No matter who the person behind this is, based on the current situation, they absolutely will not give up."

"I understand."

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Ike rubbed his chin and muttered, "This really is strangely bizarre! What exactly is going on?"

"Who is targeting me?" Ike muttered, scratching his head as he said strangely, "No! I just can't figure it out. Who exactly would do something like this? No matter how I think about it, it feels wrong! It seems like something is off somewhere. I…"

Ike smacked his lips. No matter how he thought about it, he could not understand.

The Eternal Kingdom was undergoing a change of dynasty.

The World Government was impossible.

The other superpowers had even less reason.

If that was the case!

Since the major forces were impossible, then smaller forces had even less ability.

"I can't figure it out!" Ike could not help scratching his head and muttering strangely, "This shouldn't be! Why can't I figure out this situation? Where exactly is the problem? It's unscientific!"

Only.

Ike preferred to think through matters using habitual logic.

But he did not know that…

Many times.

Some people did not act according to habitual logic at all. Their actions were even more arbitrary and willful. On this sea, such people had one unified name: pirates!!!

Ike shook his head and muttered, "I won't think about it anymore. I won't think about it. It's completely meaningless!"

Ike directly gave up. Meaningless, meaningless.

Mainly!

He genuinely could not figure it out. No matter how he considered the logic or the actions, he could not understand it!

Because.

Everything currently being done made one feel like there was no damn logic at all.

"However…" Ike smacked his lips, while a fierce light flashed through his eyes. His voice was low and cold. "Then! Let me see exactly what kind of strength you have."

"Hmph!"

A cruel smile appeared. Ike wanted to see what kind of methods this coalition of seventeen underground organizations had.

Moreover!

Since he could not guess who the person behind them was, then he would simply wait until the other party came knocking and let them try.

"And…" Ike narrowed his eyes and thought secretly, "This news cannot simply remain like this. Spread this news out! I want to see who exactly dares to make trouble for me."

At the same time!

Ike opened his panel.

[Edward Ike]

[Identity: Patriarch of the Edward Family]

[Daughters: 19]

[Sons: 35]

[Spiritual Energy: Level 44]

[Life Energy: Level 50]

[Three Haki: Level 44]

Hm?!

Looking at this panel, it seemed rather strange. There was no issue with the increase in Spiritual Energy, and with the rise of Spiritual Energy, the level of the three types of Haki increasing was also only natural.

But!

With so many of Ike's children, according to the level increase of S-rank granting four points, A-rank three points, B-rank two points, and C-rank one point, his Life Energy should at least be level 59 by now, not merely level 50!

Facts proved…

Ike's Life Energy had only reached level 50.

After reaching level 50, Ike's body underwent an extremely terrifying transformation and reconstruction.

It had already reached an unparalleled degree.

After that!

Ike knew that his physical quality had probably already reached the limit of what the Admiral level could achieve. Theoretically speaking, he had already stood at the peak of top-level combat power on the sea. As for powerhouses at this level…

Rocks should currently be at this degree.

Roger at his peak, without terminal illness, might have reached this degree.

Newgate at his peak, without any injuries or illnesses, should have reached this degree.

That was right!

S-, S, S+.

This division of S-rank aptitude was not as obvious as other aptitude ranks. To be precise, the difference between them was not large.

In other words!

The battle between Sakazuki and Kuzan lasted a full ten days and ten nights. In the end, Sakazuki won, while Kuzan had one leg directly broken.

And this!

Was the difference. The two of them might have had a difference in aptitude, or perhaps they did not.

Artoria, Acnologia, Seimei, Yujiro.

These four children of his family, theoretically speaking, were equal to the peak, injury-free plus version of his big brother.

This was the core!

Theoretically speaking, his big brother could also reach this level. It was just that due to various reasons, he ultimately failed. This was the core reason.

This was the difference in S-rank aptitude. Although the gap appeared large, the subtle difference in strength was not especially great in reality.

And although the gap seemed small, only a slight difference, if they truly fought, even if it might turn into a prolonged battle, the result of victory, without interference from external factors, would almost already be decided.

This was the core of Ike's attributes.

After Ike's Life Energy reached this level, one point was no longer enough to bring an increase.

Ike secretly muttered, "What cannot be confirmed now is, after reaching this level, how much level increase is needed to raise it further? Level 50 seems like a limit. Or rather! It is an upper limit. To break through this upper limit, based on the current situation, will be extremely difficult."

This was not an answer given by the System.

It was something he personally felt. He clearly felt that his Life Energy had already reached its upper limit. If he wanted to break through this upper limit, then a large amount of energy would be needed to help him break through it. This was absolutely not something ten or twenty points could achieve.

Moreover!

It could even be said that just going from level 49 to level 50, this limit, had already consumed ten times the usual amount of energy. From this, one could see just how difficult this limit was to break.

"However!"

Ike muttered, "Theoretically speaking, there doesn't seem to be any problem. With my current strength, it doesn't seem likely that any problems will appear."

Regarding his current strength, although his Spiritual Energy had not yet reached the limit, his Life Energy had already reached the limit.

Theoretically speaking!

The current Ike and that monster Rocks D. Xebec were basically evenly matched. However, the other party's Haki level might be higher than his. Combined with the fact that Ike was not good at battle…

And so on!

And so on!

For all kinds of reasons, he should lose. However, when facing ordinary Admirals or quasi-Admirals, he could definitely win.

In other words.

With this kind of strength, not counting the Five Elders, Imu, and those fellows with Schrödinger's strength, he should be able to walk sideways!

Precisely because of that!

Why would Ike be anxious? Anxious for what? Regarding the improvement of strength, he did not need to rush at all.
