One Piece: My Descendants All Become Monsters

[Congratulations, Master. You have completed the Fifty Daughters Achievement and obtained: S+ Full Random Template]

[S+ Full Random Template: This can grant talent to a child. Among the children born to Master, some possess excellent aptitude and are born with special talents, while others are ordinary and unremarkable. A Child Template can grant special talent to an ordinary child. The child will randomly receive one talent from three choices. Note: This template is a completely random template.]

It was worth mentioning.

Ike had obtained this Full Random Template.

After all!

The achievement reward for fifty daughters was exactly the same as the reward for fifty sons.

As for this S+ Full Random Template, Ike felt that it was quite normal.

He still chose one from three completely unknown templates, then casually placed it inside the womb of Selina, who was already pregnant.

It was worth mentioning.

Among his wives…

Selina, Remi, Kogure Yuka, Milu, Amatsuki Toki, Qing Yan, Alice, and Noriko.

All eight women were pregnant again.

Among them!

Selina had been pregnant the longest, already six months. She would give birth next month.

For the Edward Family, this could instead be considered a normal, peaceful life.

Ike sat down on the sofa, thinking about the situation with his eldest daughter.

Only…

What Ike did not know was that it was not only his eldest daughter.

To be more precise.

There were actually many people with their own situations. Under these circumstances, what would the final result be?

Ike still did not know. If he knew the situation with his children, he would probably feel a headache coming on.

"However…" Ike murmured softly, "Lily! As your father, I actually have no reason to stop you."

Ike wore a smile. His expression was very gentle.

Or rather.

From the very beginning, he had already confirmed his thoughts.

The reason was very simple.

For himself.

For his daughter Artoria.

He understood very clearly.

He had no reason to stop his eldest daughter from growing.

This was not a joke.

Rather…

His daughter wanted to grow. His daughter was seeking growth. Was he, as her father, supposed to stop all of this?

That was actually impossible.

Ike understood this very clearly. Therefore, what came next depended on how his eldest daughter intended to persuade him.

The corner of Ike's mouth curled up, carrying a faintly amused smile as he thought to himself, "Lily, how exactly do you plan to persuade me? I am very much looking forward to it. As your father, I will not stop your growth."

"How will you make me acknowledge your growth?"

"How will you make me agree to let you leave?"

The smile at the corner of Ike's mouth grew even more pronounced.

This was not a joke.

He had made many preparations in the West Blue. In fact, even if he brought his daughter along, although this was a clash between two great forces, he was still confident that he could prevent anything from happening to her.

He himself would also be leaving the Totto Land sea area and heading to the West Blue.

There was absolutely no doubt about that.

Under these circumstances, what Ike wanted to see more was what kind of reason his eldest daughter would use to persuade him into agreeing.

At that moment, a knock suddenly sounded at the door.

The corner of Ike's mouth curled up, and he chuckled. "Come in."

The office door was pushed open.

Ike, who had originally been smiling, froze slightly.

Because!

The ones who entered were not only his eldest daughter. Instead, a large number of his sons and daughters directly poured into the office.

To be honest!

Fortunately, his office was big enough. If it had not been large enough, there might not have been enough space for all these people to stand.

Ike rubbed the space between his brows slightly and looked at all the children present.

"Father!"

Every little one greeted him respectfully.

Ike rubbed his brow and said, "Lily, Eldest…"

"What exactly are you all planning?"

That was right!

The ones who had come were not only his eldest daughter. They included Gawain, Agravain, Lancelot, Tristan, Percival…

All the little ones. There were a total of twenty-two younger brothers and sisters. Including Artoria, there were twenty-three people in total.

Ike rubbed his brow, then lowered his hand. Instead, he looked at his children with a smile full of interest.

Fine!

He already knew their purpose.

But…

You little ones, how exactly do you intend to persuade me?

Percival scratched his head with a grin, while Gawain said with great seriousness, "Father, regarding this war in the West Blue, I also want to participate. The brothers all want to participate as well."

From beginning to end, Ike merely looked at the little ones with a smile.

He did not say a word.

But…

The more he behaved like this, the more pressure each little one felt.

Because!

To be honest.

All along, as these little ones grew up, Ike had always represented the image of a gentle father.

But precisely because of that, it made them feel even more pressure.

Their father was normally very gentle.

But!

At this moment, that gentle father…

When their father said nothing at all, they instead became hesitant.

Ike revealed a smile and said gently, "Gawain, do not be nervous. The biggest problem lies here. Your heart is not steady enough. I cannot be certain whether you can make up for this lack of steadiness in the future, but right now, you are too nervous and not firm enough inside."

"If this continues…" Ike gradually became serious, his tone extremely stern. "You will never truly be able to stand on your own."

"Father…"

Gawain felt ashamed, but he said softly, "Actually, Father, I understand my own ability very clearly."

"Tell me." Ike listened to Gawain's words, looked at his eldest son, and nodded calmly. "Gawain, do not feel fear or dread. I have never been a father who would do anything unreasonable. I respect your choice. Let me see your heart."

Gawain looked at his father, who was smiling gently at him, and truly hesitated.

In terms of age.

Gawain was actually only a little over one month younger than Artoria.

But!

Ever since childhood.

Although Gawain was the eldest son, he was inferior to his elder sister in every aspect. He was completely no match for her in aptitude, ability, and every other field. As the eldest son, he instead seemed extremely embarrassing.

Of course!

Gawain could feel that all his younger brothers and sisters respected him greatly. Whether it was Acnologia or Yujiro, who liked everyone, they all respected him as their eldest brother.

But…

"Father." Gawain clenched his fists tightly, strengthened his resolve, and said seriously, "Father! I know my own shortcomings. Ability, aptitude, talent—in every aspect…"

"Precisely because of that!" At this point, Gawain instead became even more serious. "I know that my personality is also very hesitant. Or rather, I do not possess such a firm heart. Father! I feel that I am not suited to truly stand alone. For me, assisting Eldest Sister has always been the more suitable path."

"Father—"

Ike interrupted Gawain's next words. Instead, he smiled gently and asked, "Gawain, then answer me. Is this truly your own heart? Or rather! Is this truly what you think?"

Gawain looked at his father's gentle gaze, then said with increasing firmness, "Yes! Father, I truly think this way. I really feel that my ability is insufficient. I am not like little Nimaiya, who possesses the ability to stand alone, nor am I like Acnologia and that brat Yujiro, who possess astonishing talent."

"These!"

"I do not have them."

"But…" Gawain said with exceptional seriousness, "I want to better approach Eldest Sister. Even if I truly do not have that ability, I still feel that I can at least help her a little."

Thirteen-year-old Gawain.

There was no denying it!

On this chaotic sea, even though he had Ike's protection and had grown up under Ike's education, he was still only thirteen years old.

But!

These children were also growing at tremendous speed.

As the eldest son of the family, Gawain actually bore many things. He understood many things and knew many things.

At this moment.

Facing his father, Gawain spoke from the bottom of his heart, mustering all his courage and doing everything he could to voice his thoughts.

"What you said is not wrong." Ike looked at Gawain and said gently, "I approve of your goal. Only! Gawain, child, you have forgotten one thing, a very important core point. For you, what do you think is the most important core you should understand?"

"What?"

"As the eldest brother, are you truly nothing?"

"Nimaiya, Ymir, Acnologia, Yujiro…"

"These children all have excellent talent and aptitude. And why?"

"Because Lily possesses astonishing talent, they respect their eldest sister."

"And what about you?!"

"Have they not treated you as their eldest brother?"

Listening to his father's words, Gawain fell silent. For a moment, he did not know what he should say.

Ike continued, "Because no matter how you are in other aspects, as an elder brother, you are qualified. The children acknowledge you as their eldest brother. Is that not enough?"

"Alright."

"That is all the comfort Father will give you."

Hearing his father suddenly change the subject, Gawain almost failed to hold back.

Good grief!

Father!

I was just starting to feel moved, and this is what you do?

"Gawain." Ike smiled and said, "Now, what you need to do is still the same as before. Tell me why I should agree to let you all head to the West Blue battlefield."

"The Five Great Mafias."

"The Edward Family."

"This is a chaotic battle among three sides."

"One could even say…"

"Facing a war between two great superpowers, even our family does not possess an absolute advantage."

"Then…"

"Is it suitable for you little ones to go?"

Ike looked at Gawain with a smile, smiling gently.

The boy's heart was firm enough. It was enough to comfort him a little.

Tell me why I should allow you to go to the West Blue.

What kind of words can you bring out to move me and make me allow you to go to the West Blue?

The brothers and sisters looked at one another, one after another.

Bedivere said softly, "Father! We understand our own position. Since childhood, we have all been working hard to study and grow. And! For us, we hope to help Eldest Sister, not simply be protected and sheltered by her. We do not want that."

"Little Ten, your statement is not wrong."

Ike approved of Bedivere's words, but continued, "However, it is not qualified. Merely such a reason is not enough for me to allow you to continue living in danger."

"You should be very clear."

"Whether for Lily or for all of you…"

"The family is very safe. Because the family has spent so many years operating in the Totto Land sea area, calling this place an absolutely safe region for you would not be an exaggeration."

"And what about you?"

"The four seas are different. If you want to enter the battlefield, what you will face will be tremendous danger. Are you prepared enough?"

These children had talents ranging from C-rank, C+ rank, B-rank, and even A-rank.

Each of them had their own belief.

Their hearts.

This time, they had revealed their beliefs.

But!

To put it another way.

Basically, C-rank talent corresponded to elite soldier level. B-rank and A-rank were naturally not especially weak.

But the problem was…

If one said that Bedivere and the others possessed decent strength, then yes, they did possess some strength.

Only, what could they do?

Dio, Kars, that level of strength.

For combat power like that, if converted downward?

C-rank probably corresponded to the level of ordinary lower officers.

D-rank corresponded more or less to the level of quasi-soldiers.

This kind of strength…

It could not be called especially outstanding.

The problem was that the war they were about to face was truly far too massive.

Just like the Summit War, even Vice Admiral-level combatants could possibly be beaten to death.

Precisely because of that!

Although Ike had already made a decision in his heart, he still wanted to see the firm beliefs of these children. Their convictions, their hearts—were they firm enough?

If they were firm enough.

Then!

Naturally, everything would be easy to discuss.

If they were not firm enough.

Then everything would be meaningless.

Ike understood his children very clearly. This was a test for their hearts. If their thoughts were firm enough, then naturally, he would allow them.

But!

If their will was not firm enough?

Then everything was meaningless.

Ike had prepared a gift for his children. Although it could not be considered especially precious, it was still quite decent. As for whether these children could obtain his approval, that gift would be given to them if they could.

Artoria looked at her father seriously. She was so clever. Of course, she could tell what her father wanted to do. But precisely because she understood, she could not say anything.
