One Piece: My Descendants All Become Monsters

"Father, no matter what, we absolutely will not give up."

"We understand ourselves very clearly. We want to become stronger."

"Only by doing so can we…"

"The family's tempering and education are not bad."

"But…"

"If we want to become stronger faster, then we must take this step."

"That's right."

"That's right."

Every child was extremely serious. Every child was extremely firm.

Ike looked at each of his children, all of them so serious and determined. The smile at the corner of his mouth became exceptionally intense as he praised them, "You little ones, I agree to let you go. But! You must remember one thing. Danger will fill the battlefield. That is a battlefield, a battlefield filled with danger, not our home. Do you understand?"

"I can provide you protection and shelter."

"But…"

"I still cannot guarantee that you will survive. That is a truly cruel battlefield."

"Remember that!"

Ike's voice gradually changed from smiling and gentle at first to serious and heavy. As his voice changed, the children, who had originally been full of smiles, gradually became solemn and serious as well.

That was right.

Just as their father had said.

Danger!

That was the main rule that filled a battlefield.

No matter when it was.

Danger was always the most terrifying thing.

Most importantly!

This danger was uncontrollable.

Even Wano Country was like that.

Because…

Did it look as if everything was under control?

It was not like that!

Only…

Ike looked at his children and saw their firm beliefs and expressions. He also revealed a smile.

That was right!

These were his outstanding children.

For them, it was not that they did not understand danger. Rather, they would not choose to retreat. They would instead walk forward firmly.

These children were just that outstanding.

Gawain said seriously, "We are not afraid of any danger. Only by facing danger can we grow faster and become stronger at a greater speed. If we remain in absolute safety all the time, then no matter what happens, it will be meaningless."

Clap!

Ike smiled and clapped. "You truly are a group of fine children. That's right! You can go find Old Seven and have Old Seven prepare the gifts for you. Go take a look."

The little ones were all stunned.

Originally, before leaving, they had planned to ask their seventh brother to forge some weapons or armor for them.

In the end?!

Father had actually said gifts had already been prepared?!

For a moment.

Each of the little ones became excited.

"Thank you, Father."

"That's great!"

The little ones quickly left.

Looking at these departing children, Ike merely smiled gently and nodded calmly. "Overall, for these children, their beliefs are still quite good. Although in terms of persistence, they are still somewhat lacking compared to those children, this belief is barely acceptable."

Ike looked at his children.

There was no denying it.

Their conviction was strong, but their steadfast hearts still carried the slightest bit of hesitation.

However.

This was already very good. They could not all be outstanding children like Artoria and Seimei. For these children to reach this step was already very good, even astonishing.

"Father."

Only after all her younger brothers and sisters had left did Artoria sit down and say softly, "You clearly had already arranged everything. In the end, you still made Gawain, Agravain, and the others so nervous."

Listening to his eldest daughter's words, Ike chuckled and teased, "Has my eldest daughter already started blaming me, her father?"

"Of course not!"

"Alright."

"Alright."

Looking at Artoria, who had excitedly stood up, Ike shook his head.

Sure enough.

This completely straightforward personality truly could not be helped.

"Lily." Ike gradually put away his smile and said seriously, "For children like Gawain and the others, their talent and aptitude are very outstanding. They absolutely surpass ordinary people's limits. But compared to you, Acnologia, Seimei, Yujiro, Ymir, little Morgan, and little Dio, this is instead their weak point. Do you understand?"

Artoria nodded seriously. As the eldest sister of the family, she naturally knew these things clearly.

Artoria.

Acnologia.

Evil God.

Seimei.

Yujiro.

Morgan le Fay.

Ymir.

Kars.

Dio.

These nine children had the most outstanding talents in the family.

In fact!

Why, under normal circumstances, could the Edward Family be said to have a very good image?

But.

Many times, Ike did not act extremely arrogantly. Instead, he developed steadily.

The reason was very simple.

There was no meaning to it.

What level was he at?

What level was his family at?

As time passed.

When these nine children grew up, aside from Evil God and Morgan le Fay, the other seven would all be existences at Rocks' level.

But the problem was!

Although such strength was terrifying…

But!

It was absolutely not enough to allow the Edward Family to recklessly attack everything.

It could even be said.

This was a huge danger.

The reason was very simple.

If one force possessed three Admiral-level fighters, four Admiral-level fighters, or five Admiral-level fighters, then that force would stand at the peak of the sea.

But…

When you possessed ten Admiral-level fighters? Eleven? Twelve? Fifteen?!

That was right.

When you possessed even more power, you would be restrained by every major force. At that time, the World Government would take the lead and bring the whole world to suppress you.

You truly would not have the slightest confidence.

Precisely because of that!

Ike understood very clearly. Before the family possessed enough strength, was it not best to stay honest and develop properly?

Therefore!

Ike was very clear about these matters.

"Precisely because of that!" Ike continued, "For these children, they all have clear weak points. That is the core issue. Since they are weak in those areas, they must compensate in other directions, namely willpower and determination."

"If they cannot even hold firm in these two aspects…"

"What will happen?"

"I understand, Father."

Artoria listened to her father's teaching and nodded seriously.

Ike, however, said with a hint of curiosity, "Still! It is strange. Why was little Seimei so quiet today? He clearly came along as well, but he did not say a word."

Artoria chuckled and said, "Because of what happened with little Aoi, little Shen, and little Blood, Mother gave little Seimei a proper scolding. He is probably still sulking."

"I see."

"However…"

"That is not important."

Ike nodded, then waved his hand. "Alright, Lily, go and prepare properly. On Candy Island, Father has prepared a second gift for you. Go receive it."

"Alright."

Artoria left with some doubt.

After Artoria left, Selina came to the office.

Selina sat down and said softly, "Husband, I know that Gawain and the other children all want to leave. Before they leave, I believe we should decide on their knight order. Originally, this should not have been decided at this time."

Ike looked at Selina and thought slightly. "Continue."

"Alright."

"Husband."

Seeing that Ike did not show any anger, Selina also let out a long breath and calmed her heart before continuing, "With Artoria as the leader, I intend to have Gawain, Agravain, Lancelot, Tristan, Percival, Galahad, Gareth, Lamorak, Gaheris, Kay, Bedivere, Pellinore, Iwein, Yvain, Lamorak, Uwains, Geraint, Dagonet, Ector, and Rion."

"And…"

"The last one is Bedivere."

"A total of twenty-four children."

"Let these twenty-four children form a knight order."

"Through the family's education and training, they seem very suited to becoming knights, suited to forming a knight order."

Ike listened to Selina's words and thought for a moment before continuing, "What do you think? Since they are forming a knight order, then aside from Lily, who is more suitable to serve as the manager?"

This was also a core issue.

After all!

No matter what kind of group it was, there needed to be a division of roles.

Artoria could serve as the absolute core and control everything.

But what about the other children?

This was also a problem.

This was absolutely not a joke.

One had to understand all the suitable issues involved here.

Selina continued, "I believe that aside from Lily, the other children should be ranked according to ability, strength, character, and everything else. Starting from the first seat, they will be arranged backward in order. And! Every three years, there will be a contest. This way, I think it will be closer to fairness."

Ike nodded. He agreed with Selina's idea.

Before Ike could answer Selina, however, a system prompt suddenly rang out.

In an instant.

Even Ike himself was stunned.

Half an hour later.

It was worth mentioning.

While Ike and Selina were discussing things in the office, Gawain and the other children had already received their exclusive growth-type equipment from Nimaiya Ōetsu.

"Listen carefully!" Nimaiya Ōetsu said seriously. "All of you must pay attention. The greatest danger of growth-type equipment is that if you cannot control it, it will endlessly absorb Haki to grow. Therefore, you must control it properly."

Nimaiya Ōetsu rubbed his chin and thought as he said, "The equipment Father had me forge should be the growth-type equipment most suitable for each of you. In theory, there should not be any problems. Just be a little careful."

"No problem."

"Old Seven, don't worry. Isn't this simple?"

"Seventh Brother, I will pay attention."

The brothers and sisters were all extremely excited and happy.

This was growth-type equipment, and it was the equipment most suitable for them.

Of course.

Everyone was siblings, so this was naturally not a problem. If they had personally come to ask, Old Seven—or Seventh Brother—would not have refused either, right?

Mainly!

Although that was the case, they were still extremely serious and determined.

This was something their father had arranged long ago. That proved one thing: their father paid very close attention to them and cared about them deeply. Toward them, their father was extremely serious. It would not be an exaggeration to say he had been teaching and cultivating them with extreme care, and had even helped prepare everything for them.

"You all."

At this moment, Artoria walked over and asked, "How are your preparations? Come! Let us go to Candy Island together. Father said he prepared a gift for us there."

"What?"

"I don't know!"

"Let's go!"

"Let's go!"

For a moment, the little ones became excited again.

What was Father's second gift?

Each of them was extremely excited.

Of course.

Cake Island was truly very close to Candy Island. Basically, it only took around ten minutes to arrive.

Moreover…

Between the two islands, a dedicated passage had already been prepared long ago.

Very soon.

When the group arrived at Candy Island, Artoria brought her younger brothers and sisters to the depths of the island, arriving at the place where their father had arranged everything long ago.

What they saw was an elite knight order clad in silver-white knight armor, holding knight lances and carrying great knight swords on their backs. Through their helmets, the eyes visible beneath them were filled with sharp light, terrifyingly cold and precise.

The moment this elite knight order saw Artoria and the others arrive, they instantly turned into a silver torrent and came toward them. Their speed was not fast, but they carried terrifying pressure. This was the pressure only true elites could bring.

The next moment.

In perfect order.

The knight order knelt on the ground.

Immediately afterward, more than one hundred knight-order squad captains walked out from among them. One by one, they came before Artoria and knelt on one knee.

Artoria looked at this elite knight order and fell silent. After a moment, she slowly said, "How long has Father been cultivating this knight order?"

"Ten years!"

"My lord has spent ten years cultivating this knight order!"

"This knight order!"

"It has a total of ten thousand members."

"Every single one of them was personally selected by my lord from among countless people."

"Every single one of them is proficient in the two types of Haki."

"Every single one of them has studied spear techniques and swordsmanship. All of them have reached the level of cutting iron."

"Every single one of them has also learned at least ten barehanded combat styles."

"Every single one of them possesses armor and weapons forged by craftsmen from Wano Country."

"Every single one of them has been waiting for the arrival of the eldest young miss, the young misses, and the young masters!"

"Loyalty!"

"Loyalty!"

"Loyalty!"

"Loyalty!"

"Loyalty!"

Every member of the knight order raised one hand and released an earth-shaking roar.

Whether it was Artoria or the other little ones, all of them looked at this deafening scene and seemed to fall into silence for a moment.

Ten years ago, Father had already prepared such a gift for them?

Artoria understood very clearly that this was an elite knight order. And just how much money had been spent to build such an elite knight order?

Tens of billions?

That would not even be enough.

This was absolutely an elite knight order that surpassed the samurai force and ninja force, a terrifying force that could be called the only one of its kind in the world without exaggeration. It would require an unimaginably high cost to create.

Most importantly.

This was a gift Father had prepared for them ten years ago.

Artoria exhaled deeply.

Gawain and the others also came back to their senses. They quickly walked up onto the command platform and stood in a line behind their eldest sister, Artoria.
