One Piece: My Descendants All Become Monsters

A humanoid figure dressed in a pitch-black suit stood up from inside an office. He pushed open the window and looked outside, his eyes narrowing as he murmured softly, "That person from the Flower Country? Rocks? The Kingdom of Elbaf?"

"Unclear."

After thinking carefully, he still could not confirm it.

For this sea…

There were far more hidden monsters than ordinary people knew.

Splash—

The ship quietly sailed toward its destination, while Ike narrowed his eyes and secretly thought, "Who exactly was that earlier? That aura was not the slightest bit less terrifying than Rocks. And who exactly is the other party?"

"No!"

Ike silently shook his head and did not think too much about it.

Because.

This was very normal. Rocks D. Xebec.

Although that man was called the strongest man on the sea, his strength was naturally beyond doubt.

However.

There was no need to think too hard to know that powerhouses like him definitely existed in this world.

One could even say…

Ike suspected there might be more than one.

Of course.

This was only suspicion for now. Whether it was true or not was still hard to say.

"Patriarch?" Redfield asked. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Ike shook his head. "Continue."

Redfield nodded and headed straight toward the island they had agreed upon.

Ten days later.

According to the originally planned time, around twenty days had passed in total, and they had already arrived at this island.

"My lord!"

Hattori quickly came forward and respectfully knelt on one knee.

Ike calmly nodded.

Clearly.

Precisely because there were no problems, there was no need to report anything. If there had been a problem, Hattori would naturally have reported it, and Ike would not have come here.

"Have the people from the Flower Country arrived?" Ike asked quietly. "Has everything that should be prepared been prepared?"

"Yes!" Hattori said respectfully. "Everything that should be prepared has already been prepared."

"I understand." Ike quietly nodded and said, "Red Bat, let's go. It is time for us to head over as well."

Redfield nodded.

The two of them walked toward the depths of the island. Here, a building had been specially constructed.

From the traces left behind, it could be seen clearly.

That was right!

This was a building specially constructed for the meeting between the two sides. It could be said to be quite unique.

Ike quietly looked around, while calmly thinking about something in his heart.

At that moment, accompanied by loud laughter, Chinjao smiled and said, "Mr. Ike, Red Bat."

Listening to Chinjao's words, Ike did not mind. He smiled and said, "Chinjao, did you arrive here long ago?"

Chinjao said casually, "I just returned from the West Blue and happened to arrive here. His Majesty will arrive very soon. Calculating the time, he should arrive sometime this afternoon."

"Good."

Ike did not dwell on it too much. Although the agreed time had not yet arrived, there was nothing unreasonable about arriving a little earlier or later.

Ike narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling the aura that gradually emerged as the approaching ship drew closer. In an instant, his eyes narrowed slightly as he thought secretly, "Are there really this many monsters?"

This was a monster with extremely terrifying strength.

Absolutely not inferior to Rocks. This was an extremely terrifying existence. Compared to this monster, Ike was at most evenly matched.

However!

Ike understood his own situation very well. He was not skilled at prolonged combat. If he fought this monster, the most likely outcome was that he would lose.

Of course.

This time, he had not come to this island for war.

"Still!" Ike thought secretly, "The other side can have such a monster protect the emperor's arrival. That means there must still be Admiral-level powerhouses within their country. The Flower Country is truly worthy of being a nation founded by pirates. They understand the law of the jungle very clearly!"

Ike sighed inwardly. This was truly something undeniable.

Such a country definitely possessed terrifying strength.

Whether it was this monster or the Admiral-level powerhouses that still existed within the country, there was no need to doubt it.

Although!

In the original story, Chinjao was at most at the level of a Vice Admiral. But thinking about it carefully, Chinjao's own potential should at least be A-rank talent and aptitude. Of course! Ike could not see it and did not dare confirm it. It was possible that he only had A+ talent and aptitude.

All of these were possible.

However!

No matter what, the current Chinjao had not been defeated by Garp, and he had joined Rocks. He was a genuine quasi-Admiral-level powerhouse. If he continued to train hard and improve himself, becoming Admiral-level was not impossible at all.

Ike let out a faint breath of foul air, his expression very calm.

And…

After everyone arrived, the crowd exchanged a few polite words before entering the room together.

The Queen of the Flower Country, Huadu!

Ike did not know whether the intelligence he had obtained was accurate or not, but the Flower Country's imperial line generally seemed to have some issue with its bloodline. They were all girls, without a single boy. In every generation, the husband married into the family.

Then!

The children born were all girls as well.

Secondly.

There was the question of who that monster was. He was the guardian deity of the Flower Country, and also the Grand Instructor of the Happo Navy, a man known as Huajiao.

Based on age, Huajiao and Huadu were about the same age, both in their forties.

As for Chinjao, he was also in his twenties. This was very normal.

"Patriarch Ike," Huadu said with a smile, "for this one to suddenly invite Mr. Ike, and for you to be willing to come, this one truly feels delighted."

"Hehehe~~~"

Ike smiled and said, "Miss Huadu, after all, you gave me a generous gift. However, I am not someone who likes beating around the bush. Just as I said to Chinjao back then, Miss Huadu, if there is something you wish to say, just say it directly."

Ike was not someone who liked wasting words.

Or rather, there was no meaning in it at all. He truly had no interest in this kind of social ceremony.

If there was something to discuss…

If there was something to say…

Then!

Just say it directly. Explain clearly what exactly was going on.

That was already enough.

Huadu smiled and chuckled softly. "Since Mr. Ike has said so, then this one will not be polite."

"Mr. Ike, the Flower Country wishes to conduct a transaction with the Edward Family. Or perhaps, calling it an alliance would also be fine."

"A transaction?"

Ike thought about Huadu's words. After a brief consideration, he said, "Miss Huadu, please continue."

Hearing Ike's words, Huadu naturally knew that Ike had become interested.

"Mr. Ike, since you are interested, then let us discuss it." Huadu said very calmly, "This one wishes to destroy the Five Great Mafia Families of the West Blue."

Ike fell silent.

Redfield also fell silent.

The atmosphere seemed to become quiet in an instant.

For a moment.

Both sides remained silent, as if they did not know what to say.

"The Five Great Mafia Families of the West Blue."

After thinking briefly, Ike remained calm and nodded. "As the underground emperors of the West Blue and the only force capable of opposing the Flower Country, I can understand. However, Miss Huadu, what you are saying sounds very simple. But as far as I know, destroying the Five Great Mafia Families of the West Blue is not an easy task."

"Moreover…"

Ike thought slightly and said calmly, "For me, the benefits seem far too low."

Indeed.

Even if they succeeded, so what?

What could Ike obtain?

Money and Berries?

But!

Those things did not count as anything at all. The truly important thing was territory and foundation!

If he could take control of the Five Great Mafia Families' territory, that would be the true harvest and the greatest benefit. That was the most important gain.

Precisely because of that.

As long as one was not an idiot, one would need to think about it carefully.

His territory was in the Totto Land sea area, in the New World.

Huadu's territory was the Flower Country, in the West Blue.

What were his benefits?

He was not lacking money. This kind of action seemed to have no meaning at all.

Huadu covered her mouth and chuckled softly. This queen had long black hair coiled high, and she looked like a noblewoman. Wearing gorgeous clothing similar to a cheongsam, she smiled and said, "Mr. Ike, you are correct. If it were only that, the benefits this would bring to you would indeed have no meaning."

Ike calmly nodded.

Not just seemed like it!

It was purely meaningless. Money and Berries? He had no shortage of them. There was no need for him to agree to such a thing. This was like the emperor not being anxious while the eunuch was. He would cross such a vast distance to run to someone else's home?

If that was not something wrong with his head, then what was it?

"Miss Huadu," Ike shook his head and said, "I will still say the same thing. Without sufficient benefits, targeting the Five Great Mafia Families of the Four Blues has far too little return. For the Edward Family, the current family simply does not have such high returns from this matter."

Ike's attitude was extremely calm. Such benefits truly had no meaning to him.

The foundation of the Edward Family was in the New World.

Precisely because of that!

He could not leave the New World in the short term. Since that was the case, was there truly any meaning in participating in this matter?

This was a very important question.

"Naturally."

"Naturally."

Huadu smiled and said, "Mr. Ike, this one said before that this is a very suitable matter. Naturally, the Edward Family will receive sufficient benefits."

"Tell me, then."

Ike said calmly, "If there are truly no issues, then I can naturally accept it."

This was Ike's attitude. If there were no problems, then of course he could accept it.

What a joke!

As long as the benefits were great enough, then there would definitely be no problem.

"First." Huadu extended one slender finger and smiled. "Mr. Ike, the future Edward Family will establish a nation, correct?"

Ike nodded. There was nothing about this that needed to be hidden.

For the Edward Family, after spending such enormous effort, if it was only for family expansion and not for founding a nation, then that would seem extremely strange.

"In that case." Huadu smiled and said, "Mr. Ike, since you intend to establish a nation, then you should be very clear about the difference between a country with recognized status and a country without recognized status. Of course! Strength is the core, but even if one possesses strength, entering that circle still requires a very long time."

"The Flower Country has that ability."

Ike thought briefly. To put it bluntly, this was the difference between high society and the underworld. With the Flower Country as backing, after founding a nation, he could directly enter the circle of upper-level nations instead of being excluded from it.

This did not have much to do with strength. Even if your strength was terrifying, if others simply refused to play with you, there was nothing you could do.

"It is indeed very tempting." Ike nodded. "Miss Huadu, that is not enough. As you said, I can also rely on strength. With the Edward Family's main force, if we want to force our way into that circle, at most it would take thirty years. It may even be enough after ten years."

"So…" Ike continued calmly, "please state the second condition."

Huadu smiled and said, "Second, marriage alliance!"

"…"

Ike and Redfield were both slightly stunned. For a moment, neither of them quite understood what was going on. What was this situation?

Huadu smiled and said, "Not with my younger brother. Quite the opposite—it would be with my daughter, the princess of the Flower Country. In other words, Huayu."

"Hm?!"

Ike fell silent and looked at Huadu.

He was truly stunned.

What the hell?

What was going on?

This was no joke!

For the imperial line of the Flower Country, there had only ever been men marrying into the family. There had never been any talk of marriage alliances. Generally speaking, he did not know whether there was some problem or not.

Basically, it was always a single-line inheritance!

Every generation of the Flower Country's imperial family had only one daughter. There was never even a second one. And now, she suddenly wanted to form a marriage alliance with him? Wasn't this some kind of joke?

Ike calmly said, "Miss Huadu, you should be very clear that marriage alliance and marrying into another family are completely different."

"Of course." Huadu smiled. "This one's daughter will marry into the Edward Family, not have you marry into mine. At the same time! Five years. After five years, the Flower Country and the Edward Family will jointly act against the Five Great Mafia Families."

Huadu extended a third finger and said, "The point this one needs Mr. Ike to guarantee is this: if within these five years, the child Huayu becomes pregnant and gives birth, and if the child is a boy, then after destroying the Five Great Mafia Families, the boy must be sent back to inherit the throne of the Flower Country."

"If within these five years, this one's daughter does not give birth, or if she gives birth to a girl, then Huayu must be sent back to inherit the throne."

"In the war to destroy the Five Great Mafia Families, the Edward Family can only obtain Berries. Everything else cannot be taken."

Huadu presented her conditions and price.

Moreover, this was clearly an extremely tempting price. It gave people the feeling that she was practically sending money and a woman to him for free.
