One Piece: My Descendants All Become Monsters

Chinjao left.

Meanwhile.

Ike and Newgate stood at the entrance. The brothers both seemed to be thinking about something.

"Ike," Newgate asked curiously, "you accepted the invitation?"

"What's the issue?" Ike watched Chinjao's ship gradually sail away and said calmly, "They already said it. They're only inviting us to an island on the Grand Line, not to the Four Blues, and not to the Totto Land sea area. When the time comes, I'll go with Red Bat. You can stay in the Totto Land sea area."

Ike felt that it did not matter at all.

This was no joke.

From the way Chinjao addressed him, it was clear that this was not Chinjao inviting him in his own identity. It was very likely the ruler of the Kano Country inviting him.

The place they invited him to was only an island on the Grand Line. That island was rather remote, and they had given him an Eternal Pose. He could completely send people ahead to investigate the situation.

It could be said that the Kano Country's attitude toward mutual exchange was very peaceful and very stable. They did not seem to have any messy thoughts.

Besides.

For the Kano Country, there was really no need to play tricks, right?

That would be completely meaningless.

That was all there was to the matter.

"January next year." Newgate rubbed his chin and said, "There's nothing much to say about it. But I'm actually more curious. What exactly does the Kano Country want by inviting our family?"

Ike smiled and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, they should have taken a fancy to the strength of our Edward Family."

"Strength?"

Newgate raised an eyebrow.

Ike looked at his big brother and nodded. "Whether it is me, you, or Red Bat, that already makes three top-level powerhouses of the sea. If we add in…"

Newgate had just been about to deny it, but he suddenly hesitated and then said, "Indeed. They used the Clone-Clone Fruit to imitate me. And Kurozumi Semimaru did indeed take Red Bat's position. It is normal for that to have been discovered."

Ike nodded. "That is a very normal thing. There is really no need to dwell on it. The intelligence organizations on this sea are not to be underestimated. Under such a configuration, the Edward Family has three top-level powerhouses of the sea, one quasi-top-level powerhouse of the sea, and a mysterious spatial-type Devil Fruit user."

"So…" Ike asked with a smile, "aside from being slightly weak in foundation, what else is our family lacking?"

Newgate nodded in agreement. With such strength, plus the fact that the current Edward Family's foundation was still very thin, if someone could choose to befriend them, of course they would choose to befriend them.

Ike was twenty-six years old. Newgate was twenty-eight years old. Redfield was twenty-seven years old. As for Semimaru? According to intelligence, he was indeed an extremely outstanding old man.

However!

For these monsters, their ages were not trustworthy at all.

A powerhouse in his seventies or eighties could still live another fifty or sixty years, even seventy or eighty years. That was not an exaggeration. Living to one hundred and fifty or sixty years old, or even longer, was completely possible.

Giants had a lifespan of three hundred years. Many powerful Giants could live to four hundred years old, or even beyond four hundred.

Could powerful humans not live past one hundred years?

Wouldn't that be a joke?

So!

With the Edward Family's current configuration, it was not strange for someone to befriend them.

"However…" Ike changed the topic and said, "Although I did expect that after the Second Battle of the Totto Land Sea Area, someone would indeed contact us. After all, three Admiral-level fighters in one family is a lineup that makes contact very normal. Offering help in times of need is better than adding flowers to brocade."

"It's just…"

Ike rubbed his chin and said doubtfully, "I didn't expect that the first to contact us would actually be the Kano Country. Moreover, the Kano Country's strength is actually this great."

"They sent a gift worth one billion Berries in one breath. That is interesting."

After thinking briefly, Newgate said, "Actually, it's not that strange, is it?"

"Mm…" Ike tilted his head slightly and thought for a moment. "That is indeed true. The Kano Country has always leaned toward pirate-building. This can be seen from the fact that over so many years, they cultivated the Ichibao Navy all the way into the Happo Navy. This country has never been willing to stay quiet. Contacting us is not strange at all."

"Still!" Newgate laughed loudly. "Aren't they afraid of a conflict breaking out?"

"What is there to fight about?" Ike rolled his eyes and spread both hands. "Big brother, our home is in the New World, while they are in the West Blue. If they want to expand, they will expand toward the Four Blues first. If we expand, we will expand toward the Grand Line first."

"Besides!"

"The Kano Country has not even fully figured out the West Blue yet. Although the Kano Country is indeed the only genuine superpower in the West Blue, do not forget that there are still underground emperors like the Five Great Mafia Families there!"

"As for us?"

"We can talk about it after our family fights its way out of the Totto Land sea area!"

This was genuine near attack and distant friendship.

The distance between the two sides was truly too great. Under such a vast distance, was there anything that needed to be discussed?

Naturally!

There was no need to discuss anything at all. If they could form an alliance with each other, that would be the most suitable outcome.

"Forget it."

Newgate picked his nose and said indifferently, "I'm not interested. I really have no interest in this kind of thing. You can study it yourself."

Ike also chuckled and shook his head. "Fine! Fine! Let's go back."

"I finally came back once. Do you expect me to go out and fight every day?"

"Big brother!"

"You're really too much. Even exploiting laborers isn't done like this."

"Your role is to obediently work like a railroad spike."

"Huh?"

"Ike! I'll hammer you to death!"

"Big brother, you're already not good enough anymore."

The two brothers argued as they walked to the other side, and everything gradually returned to calm.

"Remi has already entered the delivery room?" Ike walked to the door of the delivery room and asked, "How is the situation?"

Selina smiled and said, "Don't worry. Everything is safe and sound. There are no problems."

Ike nodded at this. That was good.

"December 21st."

"Another year."

"It really has been an ordinary year."

Ike glanced at the time and confirmed the day his child would be born this year. With a smile, he said, "It truly has been an extremely ordinary year."

Selina chuckled softly. "Husband, isn't this good? Nothing happened! The family could develop steadily, the family could grow steadily, and the children could grow up safely."

"No." Ike shook his head. "I'm not saying this is bad. I just feel that this kind of peaceful life is truly wonderful beyond words!"

Ike's smile became even richer, and the curve of his lips carried genuine warmth.

No matter what, the growth of his family was fundamentally what mattered most.

Selina gently smiled and shook her head.

Ike said nothing more and simply waited quietly.

It was worth mentioning.

December 13th.

A few days earlier.

Snake Princess had already given birth.

[Edward Shiranui]

[Identity: Twenty-Third Daughter]

[Birthday: December 13th, Year 1476 of the Sea Circle Calendar]

[Talent: B Do You Want to Watch My Dance?]

[Aptitude: B]

This was a new child. Overall, she was still quite steady and decent.

It could be said.

Snake Princess had four children in total: eldest son Gawain, eighth daughter Jashin-chan, ninth daughter Kiyohime, and twenty-third daughter Shiranui.

All four were very outstanding children. There was no need to say much about this point.

Gawain and Shiranui both had B-rank talent and aptitude.

Kiyohime had C+ rank talent and aptitude.

As for Jashin-chan?

As the first S-rank talent naturally born without needing a template, although she was only S- rank talent and aptitude, it still proved how terrifying Jashin-chan was. Especially that recovery ability, which was almost impossible to describe in words. It would not be an exaggeration at all to say it was absurdly outrageous. That kind of recovery power was truly far too astonishing.

It had reached a level that made people feel numb.

These were Snake Princess' four children, and each child was extremely outstanding.

Although!

Among Ike's wives and concubines, aside from Selina, who was treated as an equal wife, the others were all concubines. However, among them, there were naturally differences as well. They called each other sisters, but there were still some differences in status.

Leaving aside other examples!

Gonlu had given birth to the twelfth son, Bertolt, who had S+ rank talent and aptitude.

Snake Princess had given birth to the eighth daughter, Edward Jashin-chan, who had S- rank talent and aptitude.

Kurozumi Yuka had given birth to the twenty-seventh son, Edward Seimei, who had S- rank aptitude plus growth-type talent.

Amatsuki Toki had given birth to the twenty-eighth son, Edward Yujiro, who had S+ rank aptitude plus growth-type talent.

Sif had given birth to the twenty-first daughter, Edward Ymir, who had S+ rank talent and aptitude.

There was even less need to mention Selina.

Aside from Selina, the situation of these five women was different from the other concubines. They had truly risen in status through their children. Ike would not show anything outwardly, but because of their children, they naturally had higher standing.

It was still the same saying.

Where there were people, there would be competition. This kind of competition could be said to be healthy, but it definitely existed.

Ike was very clear about this.

"Husband!"

"Husband!"

Ike came back from his thoughts after hearing Selina's call. Selina said helplessly, "Husband, even if it has been an ordinary year, you don't have to zone out, do you?"

"Nothing." Ike gently rubbed his forehead and said, "Seriously, am I really getting old? I always end up thinking about all kinds of random things."

However!

Ike still asked, "What happened?"

"Husband," Selina said softly, "Remi's child has already been born."

"Good!"

It was truly a familiar scene.

Remi did not look like someone who had just given birth at all. Instead, she was grinning carelessly, looking completely indifferent.

Just by looking at Remi's casual appearance, Ike silently shook his head. He could not even be bothered to look at her and silently walked toward the crib.

"Hey! Why aren't you even paying attention to me?"

"What do you think?"

Ike looked at Remi and silently rolled his eyes.

Remi grinned. She lowered her head and did not continue saying anything. Instead, she cheerfully began drinking.

Ike turned his head and looked at the child, checking his attribute panel.

[Edward Daidaramaru]

[Identity: Thirty-Seventh Son]

[Birthday: December 21st, Year 1476 of the Sea Circle Calendar]

[Talent: B Young Lord of Japan]

[Aptitude: B]

Ike nodded silently and said, "Another B-rank talent. Not bad."

Actually!

Ike was very clear that a B-rank talent was already extremely outstanding.

What was the concept of a B-rank talent? There was no need to say too much. In simple terms, it was the standard of a Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral. Was that not enough?

A Marine Buster Call only deployed five Vice Admirals, ten Rear Admirals, ten warships, and ten thousand elite Marines.

So.

Never think B-rank talent and aptitude were weak. They were already extraordinary.

Right now!

Ike had thirty-seven sons and twenty-three daughters.

As for higher-level talents?

He had eight S-rank children.

He also had seven children with A-rank talent.

However!!!

One had to understand that aside from Jashin-chan and Morgan le Fay, who were naturally born children, the other children were not naturally born with such talents. Strictly speaking, they were not pure S-rank talent and aptitude existences.

So!

This was truly astonishing. Ike was definitely not joking.

Remi asked carelessly, "What's this little brat called?"

Ike looked at the child, then looked at Remi and said, "Daidaramaru!"

"Daidaramaru, huh!"

"Fine then!"

Remi looked at this skinny little boy and said indifferently, "Boring. Sister, this child is yours."

After giving birth, Remi felt bored again. Ram, Rem, Shuten, and Ibaraki had all been like this. After they were born, Remi found them boring. Boring! Useless! Completely meaningless! Her own children were truly no fun at all.

"Good."

Selina did not refuse either. This was not the first or second time. Remi had five children in total, and she had raised the other four herself. One more Daidaramu did not make much difference.

Looking at Remi, who acted like such a hands-off shopkeeper, Ike fell slightly silent. How should he put it? She was truly amazing.

She had truly brought the phrase "hands-off shopkeeper" to its fullest.

Remi even said proudly, "This is how it should be! As an Oni, one must grow and train seriously on their own. Next time, I'll give birth to another one!"

At that moment.

Looking at Remi, Ike suddenly had a thought.

The number of Oni on the sea was so small. Aside from people like Kaido and Yamato, who might possess Oni bloodline, there was almost no possibility of any true Oni existing.

Thinking of Kaido's attitude toward Yamato, Ike suddenly felt that the extinction of the Oni race probably had little to do with humans.

The main reason was that they had brought it on themselves.
