One Piece: My Descendants All Become Monsters

The New Year's banquet.

Up to now!

This year's New Year's banquet was almost the liveliest New Year's banquet the Edward Family had ever held.

As the eldest sister, Artoria had already left the safe zone-like sea of the Totto Land sea area and stepped into that dangerous sea. Precisely because of that, she had gained a great deal.

But!

For Artoria, at only twelve years old, being able to accomplish all of this was already extremely difficult. All the younger siblings gathered around their eldest sister, chattering endlessly.

After surrounding Artoria for a while, a group of little ones also gathered around Seimei.

Yujiro directly slung an arm around Seimei's shoulders and said unhappily, "Brother! You really have no shame. Something this fun, and you didn't call me? You really aren't human!"

Listening to Yujiro's complaint, Seimei smiled and shook his head.

For a battle fanatic like Yujiro, finally having a legitimate opportunity to run out and fight was something he definitely would not have given up.

However!

Everyone had been stopped. Ike would not allow it.

Artoria and Seimei could leave. Ike could allow that. As for the other children?

No.

They were not mature or steady enough.

Although these little ones were all extremely passionate and excited.

"Little Twenty-Seven, that's too much!"

"Yeah, yeah!"

"You're really no fun."

Shuten and Ibaraki hooked their arms around Seimei from the left and right.

"Let go of me!"

Seimei was also quite helpless. Shuten drank wine while smiling and asking, "Right! Right! Let me ask you, was Wano Country fun? How did it feel?"

Seimei helplessly looked at his two little brothers and truly felt a headache.

Of course.

Aside from the growth of Artoria and Seimei, the other important point was Goetia's birth.

The birth of a child with Z+ talent and aptitude—what did that represent for a family?

As long as one was not an idiot, they would be extremely clear. The birth of such a genius, such a monster, was a guarantee for a family's future.

Especially.

Under circumstances where Ike could ensure that no internal problems would appear within the family.

When a family possessed the possibility of overwhelming all the publicly known top-level powerhouses of the sea…

Then!

That family's future was destined to become incomparably terrifying.

Could this child grow up?

Was that something that even needed to be doubted?

For Goetia, even if he only grew through the most ordinary method, he could steadily become a Z+ level powerhouse after several decades.

As for what this level of powerhouse meant?

Ike did not know. Or rather, Ike was also not certain whether this level existed on this sea. This was the true fundamental core reason.

Imu.

Joy Boy.

Looking at these two names, Ike also fell into thought. In the end, he shook his head.

Uncertain!

Fundamentally impossible to determine.

"According to estimates, Imu's strength should theoretically have already reached the Z-rank level. But exactly what level they have reached is unknown." As Ike watched the lively little ones, his mind emptied as he continued thinking, "But aside from that? What exactly is the level of the Five Elders?"

Ike was also unclear about what kind of level the Five Elders had reached.

If!

If the Five Elders were more or less on par with his current self, then that would be fine.

But if Imu and the Five Elders had all reached the Z-rank level, then that would be an extremely terrifying strength.

The World Government's power might have truly reached an outrageous level.

Ike shook his head and thought inwardly, "Forget it. I won't dwell on these things. Thinking too much about them is meaningless. These matters can be considered in the future."

Ike was also very clear.

The Edward Family was still too weak right now. They fundamentally did not have the qualifications to challenge the World Government. As for Imu, there was even less need to mention it. They did not have the qualifications.

Since that was the case…

Thinking about so much now was purely worrying unnecessarily.

"Ike!"

"What are you thinking about?"

"Drink!"

Newgate dragged Ike over and shoved the bottle in his hand at him.

Ike was not polite either.

For a time.

The entire banquet became lively and enthusiastic.

A new year began.

January 2nd, Year 1482 of the Sea Circle Calendar.

A truly brand-new year had begun.

The next day.

As the tide receded, everything began returning to normal.

"Father."

Seimei stood at the harbor, looking at his father. He said very seriously, "I will not disappoint you."

Ike looked at his serious appearance. Looking at this child who had grown even more mature, he walked forward step by step, patted his head, and said, "Seimei, you have never disappointed me. You have already proven yourself. From now on, you will only become better and better. Isn't that right?"

Seimei smiled.

Ike also smiled and said, "Go on."

Seimei boarded the ship and slowly departed.

Ike quietly watched Seimei leave and said softly, "This child has truly begun. An outstanding child. He has already become one of the family's pillars."

Ike carried a gentle smile. Seimei was only nine years old this year.

Although.

He was still very immature.

Although.

There were still many things he did not do well.

But!

As a child, he was already working hard enough. He was already growing as a pillar. As time passed, he would truly become a pillar of the family. When that time came, he would have truly grown up!

Ike shook his head and sighed emotionally. "I won't think about this matter anymore."

Newgate listened to Ike's words and laughed. "Brat! Those words of yours really make me want to punch you."

Ike turned his head and looked at his big brother.

"What do you mean?"

Newgate's heart tightened, as if he felt something was not quite right.

Ike simply waved his hand and said calmly, "Nothing much. But theoretically speaking, big brother, you are not my opponent."

"…"

Newgate instantly flew into a rage. The problem was, he had no way to refute it, because he truly could not beat his younger brother.

Sometimes.

Newgate felt very strange. His younger brother spent every day at home.

Of course.

In Newgate's eyes, sitting in an office was just purely playing around. There was nothing else to say about it.

Ike shook his head and said, "Alright, alright, I won't mess with you anymore. When are you planning to leave?"

"Leave?"

"This year."

Moreover.

Newgate looked at Ike and said seriously, "Ike, just as you said, the Rocks Pirates have gradually reached their limit. Everyone in that pirate crew has become more and more insane, more and more deranged. Many people have begun rioting. They all have terrifying ambitions."

"To be precise…"

Redfield walked over at this time and said, "The current Rocks Pirates are no longer being led by Captain Rocks. Instead, he is being pushed forward by everyone."

"This group of lunatics wants war."

"As expected."

"Within the plan."

Ike looked calm and said casually, "It is not strange. The Rocks Pirates are a group of ambitious people who refuse to remain beneath others. How could they possibly obediently listen?"

Ike felt this was very normal.

His own big brother.

Golden Lion.

BIG MOM.

Long Bread.

Silver Axe.

Wang Zhi.

John.

Kaido.

Redfield.

World Destroyer.

Good grief.

With this group of people, you expected them to be obedient?

That was like a joke!

Among this group, aside from his big brother, the others were all ambitious.

As for Baloric Redfield, after joining the Edward Family, even Ike honestly could not guarantee that he was truly completely tied to the Edward Family. He could only say that he could control him and hold him in check. That was enough. Wanting someone like that to perfectly submit?

No need to mention his big brother.

Shiki?!

Shiki's ambition was probably even more terrifying than Rocks's.

Wang Zhi, John, Silver Axe—there was even less need to talk about them.

How should one describe these three people?

Wang Zhi was relatively special. This could be seen from the original work.

On this sea, there was a saying: only Wang Zhi had a name, while the others had only aliases.

This alone already proved everything.

As for Long Bread, his personality was more unusual.

His dream was to become a chef, not a sea overlord. As for Kaido? He was a member of the Hassaikai and someone from the Flower Country.

As for Lingling?

Was this Four Emperors?

To be honest!

Aside from Buggy, who relied on connections, Lingling was simply a disgrace among the Four Emperors!

Ike was not too clear about Blackbeard's situation.

Conqueror's Haki coating.

Wasn't this the standard skill of the Four Emperors?

Luffy had it, Newgate had it, Shanks had it, and Kaido had it.

You are a Four Emperor, and you do not even have this standard skill?

Law and Kid's Devil Fruit awakenings directly crushed Lingling, and then Kid was later instantly defeated by Shanks. In Ike's view, this record was not because Shanks was too terrifying, nor was it because Kid was too weak. It was purely because Lingling was too embarrassing as a Four Emperor.

Conqueror's Haki coating.

Observation Haki future sight.

Armament Haki emission.

Wasn't this the standard level for the Four Emperors?!

One could only say!

Lingling was the one who truly relied completely on her Devil Fruit ability among the Four Emperors.

Ike shook his head, pushing away these messy thoughts, then continued, "According to the estimate, it should be within these three years, right?"

"More or less."

"Indeed."

Newgate and Redfield both nodded in agreement.

With the Rocks Pirates in their current state, forget three or two years—even if they collapsed next year, both of them would feel there was nothing worth saying.

Ike was indifferent toward this.

Anyway.

It was about time.

Ike casually said, "It does not really matter. Whether the Rocks Pirates are destroyed or not, the money has already been earned. The weapons factories in Wano Country will enter the right track in at most two years. Once there is an income source from the arms trade, it will be much better than robbing."

"Tch!" Newgate said with considerable displeasure, "When I was bringing money back, that was not your attitude!"

"Gurararara—"

The three of them could not help laughing.

Very soon.

Newgate, Redfield, and Streusen also left.

Ike stretched comfortably, and his whole body released popping sounds like exploding beans. Looking at the ships gradually leaving in the distance, he sighed emotionally. "In the future, more and more people will leave!"

However.

Ike rubbed his chin and said with interest, "Seriously! When can I get a space-type ability user? Or a space-type Devil Fruit would work too."

Ike also shook his head and sighed helplessly. "No point dwelling on this. It does not have much meaning. We can talk about it later. Let's go, let's go. Time to go home."

"Husband!"

Selina hurried over and said anxiously, "Shuten, Ibaraki, Yujiro, Akira, Arakawa, Shiranui, Jikokuten, Suzuka, Hana, Kachō, and Enen followed Seimei to Wano Country!"

"I know."

Ike nodded. Then he waved his hand and said, "After little Athena's incident last time, I started paying attention to these little ones' movements. If they want to go, let them go. It is not a big problem. Wano Country has already stabilized. These children staying in the Totto Land sea area would also have no heart to study."

"Besides."

"If they are willing to follow Seimei, then let them go. I have already arranged teachers. Their lessons will not be missed."

"That's good."

Hearing Ike's words, Selina finally let out a breath. Ten children had run off in one go.

Although these ten children's talents were not especially exceptional.

However!

Selina was very clear that if they were lost, her husband would probably tear her apart.

Ike calmly said, "This is actually not a bad thing. For these children, it is actually the best thing. They are willing to follow Seimei."

"These children are pursuing Seimei. Isn't that a good thing?"

Listening to Ike, Selina thought for a moment and nodded. "Indeed. I was too anxious."

Ike stretched his body and left, returning home to continue working.

"Really…" Selina helplessly shook her head and said softly, "They really are a group of children who make people worry. But this is fine too."

Only.

What Ike did not know was that the children about to be born would truly bring enormous changes.

It could be said!

They would cause a tremendous shift in the Edward Family. This was the true core point.

With Goetia's birth.

A truly new stage had begun!
