One Piece: My Descendants All Become Monsters

"Mm~~~" Ike remained deep in thought and said softly, "Sif still has no reaction?"

"Husband." Selina nodded. "I just returned from Sister Sif's place. Sif still has no reaction, but her physical condition is very good. There are no problems at all."

"Mm!" Ike nodded. He was not too anxious.

Sif's pregnancy time was not anything too strange. It had only been eleven months.

Look at Snake Princess back then?

Good grief!

She had been pregnant for several years. That was why Ike had never dared to let Snake Princess become pregnant again. Who knew whether there would be any lingering aftereffects?

Resting properly for a few years was also very important.

Regarding this situation.

Ike thought of a joke he had seen in his previous life.

Supposedly!

Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing and his wife had originally planned to have five children, gathering the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. In the end, Nezha was carried for three years, and Li Jing feared something would happen to his wife's body, so he stopped.

That was also the fundamental reason why Nezha's name was not in the same series as his elder brothers, Jinzha and Muzha.

Of course.

What was the point of saying all this?

Ike was afraid something unexpected would happen to Snake Princess's body. Bringing the topic back, compared to Snake Princess, Sif being pregnant for eleven months did not count as anything. After all, this was the Giant King with the S-rank Talent and Aptitude of the Founding Titan. The proper grandeur still had to be there.

"That's good." Seeing that Ike's attitude was not a joke, Selina nodded. "Aside from that, everything else is very stable. There are no fluctuations."

"Mm!"

Ike nodded. This was not a problem. It was naturally very normal. What kind of problem could appear at home?

At this moment.

Hattori's figure appeared in the office. Kneeling on one knee, his expression respectful, he said, "My lord! Madam! The seventeen underground organizations have already joined forces. They have launched an attack against us and are heading straight for the Totto Land sea area."

"Oh~~~"

The corner of Ike's mouth curled up, and he said with interest, "Big brother and the others only went out on their mission yesterday, and these fellows are really fast. They're already taking action today."

Ike had still been estimating it himself.

What the Rocks Pirates liked most was basically doing one big job each year. This feeling was like a company's year-end bonus. The entire Rocks Pirates would participate, and they would all be very enthusiastic. Each and every one of them would be extremely crazy.

Well!

Making money. And making money that was guaranteed to succeed. Who would not be interested?

They earned the money themselves, while the blame was carried by Captain Rocks. Was that not comfortable?

Wasn't the World Government the same? Basically, all the blame was carried by those ordinary Celestial Dragons. They had all become the World Government's professional scapegoats. In such a situation, was there anything else to say?

In the end!

Ike truly had not expected it. Rocks had only just started acting yesterday, yet today they had already come.

"Hehehe~~~"

The corner of Ike's mouth carried a smile as he asked, "Hattori, how are the things I asked you to prepare?"

"My lord!" Hattori continued reporting, "Everything has already been prepared. This time's news has already been spread. If nothing unexpected happens, the eyes of the entire world will probably be gathered on us."

"Very good!"

"Very good!"

The smile at the corner of Ike's mouth became extremely rich.

Selina thought for a moment and said, "Husband, are you planning to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys? This time! Display the family's strength and tell the world the price of targeting the family."

"Not only that!" Ike's eyes contained terrifying killing intent, yet he smiled and said, "Sometimes, it is still necessary to take the initiative and tell the other side not to provoke me. That is the best thing. Otherwise, there will always be some people who think your strength is only at this level."

"However."

"More or less…"

Ike returned to calmness and said, "Basically, it is a drama of killing the chicken to warn the monkeys. Although this play is very cliché, it is also the most suitable. Ensuring the family's safety and making the entire sea know the strength of the Edward Family. The last war with the Eternal Kingdom only gave the family two years of stability."

"This time…"

"Hehehe~~~"

"At most, it will be three to five years."

Ike shook his head, but also teased, "However! Precisely because of this, this sea is actually very interesting! Because this sea is filled with countless lunatics, and when these lunatics gather together, they always do things that are extremely insane yet also make people feel interested."

"However!"

"Three to five years is enough."

Ike's smile was extremely rich, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was very interesting.

"Mm!"

Listening to Ike's words, Selina smiled and nodded. After Ike waved his hand, Hattori had already withdrawn.

"However!" Ike narrowed his eyes, then suddenly said, "Selina, do you think the other side will have Admiral-level combat power this time?"

"Mm~~~"

Selina picked up the intelligence Hattori had left behind. After reading carefully, she thought for a moment and said, "Husband! The other side has mobilized twenty warships. Their total number is only around twenty thousand people. Compared to the Eternal Kingdom back then, it is simply the difference between heaven and earth. If nothing unexpected happens, these twenty thousand people are all elites."

"Moreover!" Selina seemed to think of something and considered, "Husband! Three months ago, Shadow, the famous second-ranked assassin of the underground world, disappeared."

"Shadow…"

"Paramecia-type Sword-Sword Fruit ability user."

"Mm~~~"

Ike narrowed his eyes, pondering the situation Selina had mentioned. If nothing unexpected happened, this second-ranked assassin, famous throughout the underground world, was probably already among those twenty warships.

"Hehehe~~~"

"Interesting! Interesting!" Ike's smile became increasingly rich. He said with even more interest, "Then that is far too interesting! An Admiral-level powerhouse, a top-level combatant of the sea. In that case! The situation on this sea will probably become even more interesting, won't it?"

"According to my initial judgment, after this battle, the Totto Land sea area would have at least three to five years of stability."

"However!"

"If an Admiral-level combatant dies in this battle, then that stability may last seven or eight years."

Ike narrowed his eyes. He truly had not expected that such an Admiral-level powerhouse would appear.

Mm!

On this sea, top-level combat power represented something extremely terrifying. For example, assassins renowned in the underground world. Among them, the top two were top-level combatants of the sea.

Ranked second was this assassin named Shadow.

His identity?

Unknown!

His name?

Unknown!

The only thing known was that his codename was Shadow, and his Devil Fruit ability was the Paramecia-type: Sword-Sword Fruit.

That was all the intelligence everyone knew.

"Then! Come…"

"Let me see what the result of this trouble will be."

A flash of light flickered in Ike's eyes.

This was not a joke.

Although the Edward Family had not completely grown, with the strength of himself, his big brother, and Redfield, ordinary forces should not come and try to touch them. If a truly massive accident occurred…

For example!

Seven or eight superpowers joining forces to besiege the Edward Family?!

Then!

Ike could also call for help!

What a joke.

He could directly summon the Roger Pirates. Roger, Rayleigh, and Gaban—at the very least, there would be three genuine top-level combatants. If they were unconvinced, then it would be war. As for whether the Roger Pirates would come?

They would come. No matter what the matter was, as long as it did not harm their companions, Roger would come.

To put it plainly!

It looked like a sudden attack, trouble coming to the door.

In reality.

Ike had long since prepared for everything and had prepared many backup plans. If they were unconvinced, they could come try.

"Come."

"Come."

"Trouble?!"

"Hehehe~~~"

"Let me see exactly what kind of strength this trouble that comes knocking has."

Ike's smile became increasingly rich, as if he were quietly waiting for the other party's arrival.

One day earlier!

The Black Pearl.

For the Rocks Pirates, it was already approaching the end of the year, and everyone had begun moving, preparing to do one big job.

Among them!

Newgate, Redfield, Shiki, Wang Zhi, Linlin, Silver Axe, John, Chinjao, Bundy, and Zeff.

These ten officers were all terrifyingly powerful. They each drove their own ships and acted separately.

As for how many people they brought?!

That was up to them.

However!

The mission had to succeed.

That was the only requirement.

Precisely because of that.

They had already begun acting separately.

"Jihahahahaha~~~"

The corner of Shiki's mouth split open, and he laughed excitedly. "Whitebeard, I know that seventeen underground organizations from the Grand Line have already set their sights on the Totto Land sea area. Don't you need to go back?"

"Gurararara~~~"

Newgate looked at Shiki and laughed loudly. "Golden Lion, I don't need you to worry about that."

"Tch!"

Looking at Newgate's laughter, Shiki's mouth split open, and he found it more and more interesting. It was impossible for Newgate not to know about Shadow's news. In that case! He must have other preparations and methods?

What exactly were they?

Shiki found it very interesting. Although he was not the one targeting the Edward Family…

However!

Shiki had keenly sensed that the person targeting the Edward Family probably came from the Rocks Pirates.

Shiki said nothing and simply floated up and left.

Newgate also walked into the cabin.

It was worth mentioning!

Newgate's ship was extremely enormous. It was a super-huge ship that could accommodate at least five thousand people. It looked completely like a terrifying behemoth.

However!

Although the people of the Rocks Pirates were envious, they were no longer surprised. The Edward Family had money, people, territory, and ability. What kind of ship could they not build?

Besides!

Ever since Wano Country's shipwrights continuously came to the Totto Land sea area, combined with the shipwrights Ike had Hattori recruit from Water 7, once the two sides joined together, the current shipbuilding technology of the Totto Land sea area…

If nothing unexpected happened, it might surpass the overall level of Water 7.

Of course.

If you compared them to a monster like Tom? Then they probably could not compare. The world's number one shipwright—the phrase "world's number one" represented that he had already surpassed others by a great deal.

"Lord Whitebeard!"

Newgate stepped into the room. The one waiting inside the room was Kurozumi Higurashi. She bowed slightly, the corner of her mouth split open, and said sinisterly, "This old woman has already prepared everything that needs to be prepared."

"The submarine has already arrived."

"Good!"

"Higurashi, I'll leave the rest to you."

"Lord Whitebeard, please rest assured!"

Newgate turned around and strode away. In the dark, he boarded the submarine, instantly heading into the distance.

And!

Kurozumi Higurashi transformed, already turning into Whitebeard's appearance, and let out the familiar Gurararara laugh.

Of course.

To complete the Rocks Pirates' year-end assessment mission, this time, she had also brought two thousand members of the samurai force and two thousand members of the ninja force. Against that country? This was already enough!

Not to mention.

There were also many powerful heads of swordsmanship style families. Among them, there were even two who had reached the level of great swordsmen. There was absolutely no problem.

Redfield stepped onto his ship. For some unknown reason, he had also changed to a larger ship.

At the same time.

Tap!

Tap!

However.

Aside from occasionally exchanging a few words with Newgate, Redfield was basically aloof as hell. No one dared to ask about it either.

"Lord Red Count!"

Kurozumi Semimaru respectfully knelt on the ground in a formal posture and said reverently, "I have already prepared everything. You can leave at ease."

"I understand."

Just like Newgate's departure, Redfield also entered a submarine and left directly for the Totto Land sea area.

That was right!

The mantis stalks the cicada.

The oriole waits behind.

These seventeen underground organizations believed that if they attacked the Totto Land sea area while the Rocks Pirates were taking action, then with the Admiral-level powerhouse they had recruited, they could delay Ike. As for the other subordinates in the Totto Land sea area?

In their view, they were not worth mentioning at all. Since that was the case! They could easily clean them up.

This was their thinking.

Only!

They did not know that since they had chosen this timing, Ike had naturally made preparations as well.

Remember!

For the Rocks Pirates, as long as the mission could be completed, that was enough. As for who completed this mission?

It did not matter at all!

Kurozumi Higurashi, in Whitebeard's form, replaced Newgate. She brought a total of thirty heads from Wano Country's swordsmanship schools, as well as two thousand samurai troops and two thousand ninja troops. This was already enough.

Kurozumi Semimaru did not need any disguise, because Redfield had always been alone. Bringing two thousand samurai troops was already enough to complete Redfield's mission.

Why?!

Hehehe~~~

Do not forget, Kurozumi Semimaru was a genuine quasi-Admiral-level powerhouse. Naturally, this was already enough.

This was Ike's preparation. Did Rocks not know?

Of course he knew, and he also understood exactly what was going on.

However!

To Rocks, he did not care. What he wanted was only the completion of the mission. As for how you completed it, or how you wanted to complete it? What did that have to do with him? He did not care at all.

This was originally Rocks' personality. His purpose in building the Rocks Pirates had never been pure in the first place, so of course he did not care whether the crew under him were loyal or not.

Tap!

Tap!

Ike walked step by step along the road. As night fell, he walked along the shore, quietly looking at the churning juice seawater before him. The corner of his mouth curled up, and his smile grew increasingly rich. He said lightly, "Come! Come! Let me see who the person behind this trouble really is."

"Hehehe~~~"

"Rocks Pirates, you really are quite good!"

"To deal with the Edward Family, your preparations this time are quite sufficient!"

"This is truly interesting!"

Ike's smile became increasingly rich, yet it also became increasingly dangerous and arrogant.
