One Piece: My Descendants All Become Monsters

A ship slowly sailed out from the Totto Land sea area, gradually heading into the distance.

Ike set sail with Redfield and an escort of one thousand samurai.

His wife Selina was responsible for continuing to handle the remaining affairs of the Totto Land sea area.

His big brother was responsible for eating, drinking, having fun, and waiting for people to arrive.

In short!

After arranging all of this, Ike left.

As for the rest?

For the time being, that was how things stood.

Mainly!

There was nothing else that needed to be arranged. To Ike, everything that needed to be handled had already been more or less handled. That was enough.

It was worth mentioning.

Alice had also come out with them. Since nothing was happening, she had happily followed along.

…

Ike looked at Alice, who was running around on the ship, and asked curiously, "Red Bat, does Alice like going out to sea this much?"

Redfield did not know what to say.

How should it be put?

To Redfield, ever since she was young, he had never allowed his younger sister and family to do anything else. He had wanted his younger sister to live safely.

All that could be said was…

A child's nature had been completely restrained.

"I understand."

Looking at Redfield's expression, Ike understood what was going on. He calmly nodded and said, "If she likes playing, let her play as she pleases. She won't do anything dangerous anyway."

The following voyage was overall very simple.

After around ten or so days…

The ship gradually arrived near the Red Line.

At the same time!

Through his ability, Redfield created a huge barrier capable of supporting the entire ship, and the ship began to fly. Its speed was not especially fast, and since they had chosen a relatively remote position, it was basically impossible for anyone to discover them.

Ike had chosen to head to the Grand Line because of this. Whether they used the Red Line or Fish-Man Island, both methods of traveling between the Red Line and the Four Blues were troublesome. Only flying over was the easiest method.

Ike looked at the Red Line they were gradually crossing and thought to himself, "So this is the Red Line!"

As a transmigrator…

After coming to this world for so many years, Ike had never seen the Red Line before.

Or rather.

He had never seen the Red Line at all. This was not a joke.

He had been developing his family and dealing with all kinds of messy matters.

Of course.

With Ike's identity, generally speaking, it was also impossible for him to climb onto the Red Line. Wouldn't that be seeking death?

"The Red Line…"

Ike quietly looked at the land below, but in his heart, he was thinking about different things.

Redfield walked over and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Ike shook his head. "I'm just looking at the Red Line and feeling a little emotional. As the largest landmass in the world, in truth, even the World Government probably has not fully developed the Red Line. They have only developed a portion of it."

After thinking briefly, Redfield lowered his head and said, "The World Government probably cannot fully develop the Red Line either. After all! Developing the Red Line would consume far too many resources, and the benefits brought by fully developing it are far too low."

"There is no denying it."

"That is indeed the case." Ike also agreed with this view. "If the Red Line were to be developed safely, the benefits it could bring would be far too low. To the World Government, what they need to do is preserve their noble status. Developing the Red Line?"

"There is no real need for it."

Ike shook his head at this as well. Then, after thinking slightly, he said, "Of course! To the World Government, the core of the Red Line is not here. This place is almost the intersection point of the world. They control the core of this world and look down on everyone from above."

The Red Line!

The World Government!

Mary Geoise!

This place.

It was the core of the world, the core of the world's authority, the core of everything in the world.

It could be said…

Eight hundred years ago, the Twenty Kings established the World Government, and nineteen of those kings became Celestial Dragons. After that, the Celestial Dragons became the rulers of everything. They managed this world.

And they called themselves gods!

Ike suddenly thought of something and smiled with interest. "It is worth mentioning! Red Bat, eight hundred years ago, when those twenty kings entered the Red Line, they completely expelled and slaughtered the original inhabitants known as the Lunarian race, the race called kings. Even now, whether any of them survived is hard to say."

"Since they wanted to occupy the Red Line," Redfield continued, "the best method was naturally to completely slaughter the original inhabitants."

"That is indeed the case."

Ike also nodded in agreement, then suddenly said, "Redfield, do you think there will come a day when I stand here?"

"What?!"

Redfield's eyes widened suddenly. Those words were like thunder.

However!

Redfield quickly withdrew all his shock. It was indeed understandable. As the Edward Family gradually developed, what would the future look like?

What exactly was Ike's ambition?

Was it truly just developing his family?

Whether it was targeting Wano Country or making future plans for the Kingdom of Dressrosa…

All of this!

What exactly was it for?

Naturally.

Some things were simply there. If one did not think about them, that was fine. But once one thought about them, one would very quickly understand what the issues behind them represented.

"So that's how it is…" A look of realization appeared in Redfield's eyes, and he said calmly, "Patriarch, although it is astonishing, if I think about it carefully, this kind of ambition seems only natural."

Ike asked with interest, "Red Bat, you are not shocked at all?"

"This is indeed not something worth being too shocked about."

"Hehehe~~~"

Ike could not help chuckling. Then he shook his head and said, "Forget it, forget it! There isn't much meaning in discussing so much. That is something for the future. Who knows what the future will become? Saying anything now is meaningless."

However…

"The Red Line!"

Ike looked down from above at the brightly lit Mary Geoise below.

The World Government had established Mary Geoise on the Red Line.

Of course.

Mary Geoise was divided into several sections.

For example…

Deep within Mary Geoise stood Pangaea Castle. It was the place where the Five Elders held their meetings each time. That was Pangaea Castle, and deep within Pangaea Castle was the hidden Room of Flowers.

Aside from that.

There were also many different cities. Some of these cities were palaces, and some were various architectural complexes.

The residences of the Celestial Dragons.

The residences of slaves.

The trading city where people came and went.

The places responsible for auctions.

In short.

Calling Mary Geoise the most luxurious place in the entire world would absolutely not be an exaggeration. Almost everything was gathered here.

In reality.

Aside from pirates, even underground forces could enter the Red Line without much concern. As long as you paid money, you could enter if you wished.

As for causing trouble?!

Hehehe~~~

Stop joking!

In the original story, Kong's position was Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies. This position was second only to the Five Elders within the World Government.

Then…

What exactly were the Three Armies?

The Marines.

The Army.

The Marines were responsible for the sea, while the Army was responsible for the Red Line. Moreover, in terms of configuration, the Army was basically identical to the Marines. As for the Air Force? No one knew. It was an extremely mysterious force. At the very least, very few people on the sea knew about it.

As for why the Army rarely appeared?

The reason was simple.

The Red Line was far too vast, and the regions the Army needed to be responsible for were far too many.

Of course.

The position of Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies was normally the highest position an outsider could reach.

Do not truly think that many positions in the World Government were randomly assigned. That was truly not the case. These positions were mostly controlled by elite Celestial Dragons.

This was no joke. If all Celestial Dragons were fools like those in the original story…

The Celestial Dragons would have been destroyed long ago. It was precisely because every generation had prodigies and elites, while the useless ones were more like pigs raised to take the blame. The true elites controlled the upper levels of the World Government in every aspect. They were the true core of the World Government's operation.

Ike shook his head and said, "As for the enormous entity known as the World Government, there is no denying that after eight hundred years, all kinds of problems have indeed begun to appear. However! One point absolutely cannot be denied: the other side is very powerful. And! As long as the World Government's authority remains firmly gathered in the hands of the Celestial Dragons…"

"It is almost impossible for outsiders to destroy the World Government."

Redfield thought briefly and could not deny it. Do not think that gathering some power was enough.

As for Dragon?!

Ike was not joking. Only after coming to this world and gaining a deeper understanding did he realize that the idea of that village teacher's revolutionary path was nonsense.

Stop joking!

It was almost impossible for powerful people to appear among the common folk. Ordinary people had no meaning at all. In this world, only by controlling nations could one truly control everything. Otherwise, there was no meaning.

Did people really think ordinary people could simply grow strong?

His big brother seemed as though he had gone out to sea as a child and grown up from there.

Get lost!

That was not the truth at all.

His big brother went out to sea as a pirate, but resources were lacking, and supplies were insufficient.

The poor study literature, the rich practice martial arts!

This was truly no joke. Just food alone could crush ordinary people.

That was the real core.

"So…" Ike suddenly said calmly, "If one wants to control this world, the best method is actually to use absolute power and directly destroy the entire World Government. That is the best method."

Redfield shook his head and said, "Patriarch, that is almost impossible. The World Government is an enormous entity that has ruled the world for eight hundred years. Leaving aside its hidden cards and ancient weapons, no one knows exactly how terrifying the power it possesses truly is."

"That's true!"

Ike nodded in agreement. "Pure gold! This metal that can grant people immortality—if nothing unexpected happened, the refining technique should be controlled only by the World Government. And within the World Government, after those true Celestial Dragons gain immortality, what level will their strength reach?"

"But thinking too much is useless. My current strength is not enough, so I do not have the qualifications to clash head-on with them. There is not much meaning in it."

Ike was too lazy to think too deeply about it.

The more he thought about it, the more his head hurt.

Surely no one truly thought the World Government's strength was fake, right?

That would be pure stupidity. This enormous entity had ruled the world for eight hundred years. Generation after generation of the D Clan had risen again and again. What was the final result? The World Government still existed, while the D Clan had gradually vanished. It would not even be an exaggeration to say they had been hunted down and nearly exterminated.

"Forget it." Ike shook his head. "Thinking too much is meaningless. To this sea, the World Government's power is terrifying enough, and it is the absolute peak. Surpassing such an existence is something for the future."

"Mm."

Redfield did not say anything more. He quietly looked at Ike. He did not know whether this patriarch was joking or serious.

But!

No matter what, Redfield knew that he could no longer leave this ship. Since he had boarded the Edward Family's ship, there was no walking away.

Unless!

He wanted all his clansmen to die. His younger sister was Ike's concubine, and all of his remaining clansmen had already moved into the Totto Land sea area.

Precisely because of that…

Even if he knew there was an abyss ahead, he had to continue walking forward. This was a path from which there was no retreat.

However…

Redfield looked at this confident man with a smile on his face and thought secretly, "Perhaps he really can be trusted. If he truly succeeds…"

Thinking of that possibility, Redfield gradually began to feel excited.

After all!

If he truly succeeded…

What would the future Barorick family become?!

Redfield did not think too much about it. Instead, he suppressed the turmoil in his heart. He knew he could not continue thinking down that road. Otherwise, it would not be good.

Ike quietly looked at the Red Line before him as they gradually crossed it and left.

Only…

Ike suddenly narrowed his eyes. His gaze instantly became unusually sharp as he stared fixedly downward. His keen eyes seemed to have discovered something.

At the same time!

Ike and a certain figure seemed to gaze quietly at one another across an extremely vast distance.

Redfield controlled the ship and left the Red Line, and everything finally returned to calm.

Ike slowly breathed out a mouthful of foul air and thought secretly, "As expected, just as I guessed, that final person is not inferior to Rocks at all. They are almost evenly matched with me. It is not too surprising. It is only natural for the Red Line to possess such a powerful person."

"It's just…"

Ike murmured inwardly, "Is that person Imu? Or one of the Five Elders? Or…"

If it was the final possibility, then Ike knew that the World Government's strength might be even more terrifying.
