One Piece: My Descendants All Become Monsters

Shadow was completely numb.

He looked at the laughing Newgate, then at the proud and solitary Redfield.

The Mad Star.

At this very moment, Shadow truly felt like crying. What in the world was this situation?

"Hah…"

He let out a long, bitter breath. and looked at the enemies before him. His fists gradually clenched, his face deathly pale as he said ferociously, "Looks like there's no way I'm leaving alive today. Since that's the case, let's begin."

As for escaping?

Shadow was not an idiot.

He knew very well that today, he was finished.

First of all, he was a Devil Fruit user. How was he supposed to escape across this vast sea?

Moreover, everything had already been laid out in front of him. Even if he wanted to flee, he probably could not do it.

Drip!

Drip!

"Wah!"

Shadow spat out a mouthful of blood. As fresh blood trickled down his body and fell to the ground, his face turned extremely pale, and his expression became terribly ugly. He raised his head with difficulty. His body swayed, but he could no longer stand.

"Cough, cough, cough…"

Accompanied by violent coughing, Shadow said weakly, "Whitebeard! Red Count! I once considered the possibility that Whitebeard might disregard all consequences and return here. But now, the two of you actually came here together. Why? Why exactly?"

"Gurararara—"

Newgate laughed carelessly. "The second-ranked assassin of the underground world. I have to say, your strength isn't bad! If Red Bat weren't here, you really might have escaped."

"Escaped?" Shadow shook his head and said, "As an assassin, my judgment is still very clear. There's no hope. I never had any chance of escaping."

The battle had lasted only three hours.

The allied army of the seventeen underground organizations had been wiped out just like that.

As for Shadow?

This second-ranked assassin of the underground world, a genuine top-level powerhouse of the sea, was already half-dead as he sat on the ground. His entire body was covered in wounds. He was basically doomed.

And today, there was no way he would survive.

Tap!

Tap!

At that moment, Ike had already arrived on the ship. He slowly walked over step by step with a smile on his face and said, "Shadow, the number one assassin of the underground world. I have to say…"

Paramecia, Blade-Blade Fruit.

This Devil Fruit was a lower-grade version of the Paramecia Weapon-Weapon Fruit. The Weapon-Weapon Fruit could transform any part of the user's body into any kind of weapon, whether firearms or cold weapons. There was no problem at all.

However, the Blade-Blade Fruit was different. The only things it could transform into were cold weapons—blades, swords, spears, halberds, and similar weapons.

Shadow had already developed this Devil Fruit to the level of awakening. The effect of controlling all surrounding matter and turning it into all kinds of weapons was truly astonishing.

However!

Shadow's strength was indeed quite good. His two types of Haki, physical skills, and Devil Fruit ability had all been developed to an impressive level.

But compared to a lineup like Whitebeard plus Red Count?

Hehehe—

It was still the same saying!

Back then, when I had my hands in my pockets, I didn't even know how I could lose.

This was Ike's confidence. I start with Whitebeard and Red Count directly. If you fight me, what exactly do you think you are? Are you even worthy of fighting me?

"It's useless," Shadow said calmly. "From the moment those two appeared, I already knew I could not possibly survive. There's no meaning to it at all."

"However…"

Shadow looked at Ike. He was not stupid. As a top-tier assassin of the underground world, he naturally knew how to judge the situation.

Ike was the man leading these three.

Shadow looked at Ike and suddenly said seriously, "Ike, I am willing to join the Edward Family. I am willing to become a dog of the Edward Family, as long as I can live. As long as you let me survive, I am willing to pay any price."

"Pay any price?"

"No need."

Listening to Shadow's words, Ike seemed very tempted, but he still smiled and shook his head. "Shadow, I won't deny it. If a top-level powerhouse of the sea joined the family, I would be very pleased and happy. Unfortunately! Your killing intent is far too obvious, and you are also far too dangerous."

"How about this?" Ike said calmly. "Tell me who ordered you here, and I can give you a quick death."

Was Ike not interested in a top-level powerhouse of the sea?

How could that be possible?

Of course Ike was interested. But under his Observation Haki, it was obvious that this person had a problem.

That killing intent looked as though it wanted to devour him whole.

Besides, placing a top-level powerhouse of the sea with absolutely no trust whatsoever inside the Totto Land sea area would truly make it easy for problems to arise. If he started slaughtering people, even if Ike reacted quickly, trouble would still occur.

There was no need.

There was truly no need.

His family already had so many geniuses. There was no need to create danger because of someone like this. It was not worth it.

"Cough, cough, cough…"

Shadow coughed weakly. Hearing Ike's words, he froze for a moment, and then all his killing intent dissipated. In a low voice, he said, "How terrifying… Edward Ike, you can actually resist such a terrifying temptation."

"However…"

Shadow looked at Ike with deep eyes. "Don't even think about it. You will never learn from me who sent me here."

Schlick!

Shadow raised one hand, directly turning it into a dagger. With extreme skill and natural ease, he slashed it across his own throat. There was no hesitation in his movement at all, as if the person committing suicide were not himself.

As blood flowed, Shadow closed his eyes, completely losing his life and consciousness.

Looking at Shadow, who had killed himself without the slightest hesitation, Ike could not help saying, "Big brother, Red Bat, tell me, for a top-level powerhouse of the sea like Shadow, what exactly was he doing this for?"

"Money?"

"Love?"

"Power?"

Redfield thought about it and felt that it could only be one of those three.

"Money? He couldn't possibly lack it."

"Power? With his strength, if he wanted it, what couldn't he obtain?"

Newgate silently explained for a moment, then looked at Redfield and complained, "Red Bat, love my ass…"

Although he was complaining, Newgate was right. No matter how one looked at it, Shadow's origins were extremely mysterious. He lacked nothing. There was no reason for him to wade into these muddy waters.

All that could be said was that some matters were truly strange.

"Alright, alright." Ike waved his hand casually. "Big brother, Red Bat, let's head back as well. Or are the two of you going to return directly?"

Ike estimated the timing slightly and said, "Hattori!"

Hattori knelt on one knee and said, "Lord Whitebeard and Lord Red Count can return now and rendezvous in five days. As for Streusen. and Lord Semimaru returning to the Rocks Pirates, that will require at least seven days. The timing is just right."

"Good!" Ike nodded and said, "Big brother, Red Bat, do you plan to return directly, or rest for two days first?"

"No rest." Newgate waved his large hand and said, "I'm heading back directly. We'll talk about the rest later."

"That is indeed the better choice," Redfield also agreed. "It is better to leave two days for handling matters. Otherwise, things may become difficult to manage."

"Fine!"

Ike nodded, and the three of them parted ways just like that.

Newgate and Redfield used the submarine and swaggered away under everyone's watching eyes.

But!

But!

Everyone's attitude was: What are you pretending for? What are you still pretending for?

Your spatial-type Devil Fruit user has already been exposed by us, alright?

What exactly are you pretending for? Can't you just openly show it?

Do you really have to keep acting like you're half-hiding it behind a veil?

Ike did not know how these people were complaining. He had Shadow's corpse collected, cremated, and directly sent into the sea. After all, he had been a top-level powerhouse of the sea. The respect he deserved still had to be given.

Aside from that, everyone who needed to be captured was captured. All remaining supplies that needed to be taken were taken. The warships that had not been destroyed were also taken away.

What a joke!

These were valuable things. These warships had no problem at all and could definitely be used!

From beginning to end, Ike had never built warships himself.

The thirty warships currently belonging to the Edward Family were all contributed by the Eternal Kingdom last time.

Those were all money!

One warship was worth fifty million Berries. How much were thirty ships worth? One and a half billion Berries!

Ike had complained more than once that his big brother was truly ruthless when he made a move. When he attacked, he did not hold back at all!

Save where you should save, spend where you should spend.

There was no conflict.

Ike's side calmly and peacefully cleaned up the battlefield.

However, the news of this war spread across the entire sea at an extremely terrifying speed. The major newspapers frantically rushed to report it, afraid that they would be too slow.

After all!

The Edward Family—three Admiral-level fighters in one family?

That was explosive news!

Secondly!

The second-ranked assassin of the underground world had died in the Totto Land sea area.

That was major news. This was the death of a top-level powerhouse of the sea.

Last time!

The Rocks Pirates had used the corpse of a Marine Headquarters Admiral to completely establish themselves as an invincible existence on the sea.

Rocks D. Xebec.

That man had relied on the corpse of a Marine Headquarters Admiral to once again raise his own prestige to a higher level.

These two pieces of news could absolutely ignite the entire world.

"Hahahaha~"

Accompanied by excited laughter, Newgate said with interest, "Golden Lion, what's with you?"

Shiki fell silent for a brief moment before suddenly saying, "Whitebeard, can your family's spatial-type Devil Fruit user be lent to me? Or sold to me?"

Newgate cursed directly. He immediately understood what was going on.

Good grief.

None of us have admitted anything, but you people have already decided it?

As for Redfield?

Although everyone found Redfield extremely strange, this man had always been proud and solitary. He did not form cliques, and he had no companions. He also had no contact with anyone.

Even if they wanted to go forward and ask something, it would be completely meaningless.

Everyone was also quite curious. What exactly was going on with Redfield?

When had he joined the Edward Family? Or had he been a member of their family from the moment he first joined the Rocks Pirates?

They could not figure it out!

They could not figure it out at all!

However.

Redfield was observing many people's expressions. Most people were shocked or interested, but Wang Zhi's eyes contained even more hatred.

However!

That alone could not prove Wang Zhi was the main culprit. After all, Wang Zhi's hatred toward the Edward brothers…

That had been going on for far too long. It had to be traced back to when Ike was eighteen years old. That was already seven years ago.

Redfield secretly thought, "It still cannot be confirmed. However, there is no need to rush."

Redfield was certain that Shadow was definitely connected to someone in the Rocks Pirates.

Otherwise, there was absolutely no way the other party would have accepted this kind of deal. It was simply meaningless.

"Tch!"

Shiki said unhappily, "Whitebeard, do you have to be so stingy? It's not like I don't have money!"

"Listen to yourself. Are you even saying something human?" Newgate raised an eyebrow. "A spatial-type Devil Fruit user. Do you know how precious that kind of Devil Fruit is? Do you think I could possibly sell one to you? Besides! I'm not the one who makes decisions in my family. My little brother makes the decisions. If you have the ability, go to the Totto Land sea area and find him yourself."

Newgate waved his hand impatiently, while Shiki spread both hands and said, "Do you take me for an idiot? Can anyone even enter that Totto Land sea area?"

"Damn it!"

"That Totto Land sea area of yours—those deep-sea whirlpools and deep-sea undercurrents originally hidden beneath the surface have actually pierced through the sky, forming a cluster of deep-sea tornadoes that connect the sky and the deep sea. Even with my Float-Float Fruit, if I charged in, I'd definitely die."

"Then there's nothing I can do."

Listening to Shiki's complaints, Newgate spread both hands, indicating that he had no solution.

Of course.

Newgate and Shiki's relationship was fairly good. This could be seen from the original story, where after Shiki escaped prison, he went to Whitebeard to chat. The two of them had a good relationship.

As for the changes in the Totto Land sea area?

Those were caused by Morgan le Fay's talent. As the possessor of the Power of the Island, she could perfectly control the entire Totto Land sea area. In theory, as long as something was included within the scope of the Totto Land sea area, it could all be controlled. For example, creating a tornado formation that covered the entire Totto Land sea area?

Easy.

This was Morgan le Fay's talent. It was also why Ike did not care at all about the safety of the Totto Land sea area.

What a joke.

Either you attack openly from the front, or you obediently watch from outside. If you can charge in without dying?

Ike could consider having his youngest daughter increase the intensity for you. However, that was not quite possible right now. His youngest daughter was still young, and her development of her talent had only reached this level.

"Damn it!"

"Redfield is actually someone from the Edward Family?"

"How is that possible…"

"I don't know!"

"I really never expected this at all!"

Night fell.

Two pairs of eyes emitted blood-red light. On the Black Pearl, they were filled with madness and ferocity. The two of them had never expected that, after preparing every method and considering everything, the result would turn out like this.

Not only had there been that spatial-type Devil Fruit user—as for why one definitely existed?

Newgate and Redfield had both completed their missions.

Even more unexpectedly…

Redfield actually had a connection to the Edward Family.

"No!"

"No!"

"This matter absolutely will not end here. This is only the beginning."

"The Edward Family?!"

"Good!"

"Good!"

"This definitely will not be the end."

Those scarlet pupils emitted a terrifying light. He would absolutely show no mercy. They were filled with endless killing intent and madness.

"This is only the beginning. Just wait for me."

The dim light swept past, and a figure emerged.
