One Piece: My Descendants All Become Monsters

After Ike looked over the situation, he naturally left.

There was no need for him to participate in the remaining matters.

Very soon.

A fully equipped ship was already gradually preparing to set sail.

"This is?!"

Artoria looked at the massive warship before her. Its overall design was pure white as the core, while the figurehead was the head of a red dragon. She could not help widening her eyes. The other little ones also gathered around excitedly one after another.

Tap!

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, Ike walked over and smiled. "Lily, what do you think of this third gift?"

Artoria turned around and looked at Ike, who had come over with Selina. She continued, "Mother came too?"

"Could it be that I cannot come?" Selina said with a soft laugh.

Artoria immediately waved her hands and said, "Of course not!"

"Alright, alright." Ike smiled and shook his head. "She is only joking with you."

Artoria's whole body seemed to come alive, and even the ahoge on top of her head swayed. She said, "I just did not expect Mother to come."

Selina looked at this top-tier warship and said emotionally, "A division-class warship that can hold a total of three thousand people, including logistics personnel. For a ship like this, Husband…"

Ike waved his hand and said, "That is nothing worth caring about. Lily, for you, this warship will be the exclusive ship of the Knights of the Round Table in the future. As for its name, that is something you will need to consider yourselves."

"Each ship can accommodate two thousand members of the Knights of the Round Table, as well as one thousand logistics personnel."

"At the same time!"

"Various facilities have been built inside."

"There are also exclusive rooms prepared for all of you. Remember that."

"Don't worry, Father!"

Artoria nodded seriously. Her ahoge was practically standing up.

Moreover!

Artoria had absolute confidence. After several days of training, she would definitely be able to bring the Knights of the Round Table onto the battlefield. When that time came, she would show everyone their power.

Of course, she did not know that her father actually thought the same way.

Ike merely smiled and nodded.

He boarded his own ship.

On the other side.

Artoria led her people and boarded the warship.

To be honest!

A normal warship could usually hold one thousand people. Including logistics personnel, it would hold around one thousand five hundred.

But this warship could hold three thousand people, including logistics personnel. Moreover, this was still without reaching its upper limit and without being overcrowded.

From this alone, one could see it.

Every single one of these warships had been built through Ike recruiting large numbers of scientists, craftsmen from Wano Country, and shipwrights from Water 7, combining all three groups together.

As for the construction cost?!

A dazzling figure.

Three billion Berries per ship.

The top-tier warships the World Government built for Marine Vice Admirals only cost one billion Berries each.

From this alone, one could tell just how terrifying the amount of money Ike had spent on the Knights of the Round Table truly was.

This was also why the Edward Family was gradually running out of money.

Whether it was the money his big brother fought for and brought back, or the income from Wano Country…

In short.

These were the core issues. No joke.

This was the core point that needed to be faced directly.

There were simply too many places to spend money.

And spending money could truly increase strength.

Of course.

The activation of this talent was something he truly had not expected.

This Team-Type Talent was indeed far too terrifying. That was also something Ike had never expected.

Alright!

Ike boarded his own ship and said with a smile, "Set sail."

One ship after another set sail.

There was no other way.

Ten thousand samurai.

Ten thousand ninja.

Thirty thousand mafia members.

A total of fifty thousand people.

Sasaki, Hattori, and fifty school masters.

Now?

Kurozumi Semimaru had also arrived with Kurozumi Fukurokuju. The two of them were responsible for managing everything.

There was also the Knights of the Round Table led by his eldest daughter.

But!

There were no great powerhouses on the sea.

That was right!

Aside from Ike himself, there were no Admiral-level powerhouses at all.

This was the strength the Edward Family was displaying.

After all!

This time, his family was acting as support. Since they were supporting, what was the point of bringing so many top fighters?

The large number of people Ike brought was more for legion warfare. That was basically how it was.

It was not something worth worrying about.

As for high-end combat power, it was enough to leave that to the Kano Country.

October 20th, Year 1483 of the Sea Circle Calendar.

Ike had already brought his people to the West Blue.

Moreover.

They had not caused any disturbance. Everything had been hidden. Everything seemed to have disappeared entirely.

"My lord!"

Kurozumi Semimaru and Kurozumi Fukurokuju knelt on one knee.

Kurozumi Semimaru reported, "My lord, everything you instructed has already been prepared. According to your orders, there are no mistakes, and there will be no problems."

"I understand." Ike nodded calmly and asked, "Have the people from the Kano Country arrived?"

"They will arrive very soon!"

"Go and prepare."

Kurozumi Semimaru and Kurozumi Fukurokuju immediately withdrew to make preparations. Ike, meanwhile, looked at the island before him.

It was worth mentioning.

This island was called Vongola Island. Why was it called this name?

Very simple.

After Ike planned to take over the mafia families of the four seas, he would split and reorganize them into three families. One of them would be the Vongola Family. Therefore, this island would naturally be one of the cores of the future.

Soon.

After landing on this island, one could see that the island was being built in full swing. All kinds of buildings and castles were rising almost from the ground at astonishing speed.

Ike quickly brought Artoria to the central city district of Vongola Island.

Gradually, everyone gathered here.

"Father." Artoria thought for a moment and said, "After the West Blue is settled, who do you intend to have manage the West Blue?"

Artoria considered this problem. Selecting someone from among her younger brothers and sisters was definitely not feasible.

Aside from Seimei, who could go to Wano Country at the age of seven or eight, the others did not possess such ability.

Therefore!

This would require someone else to manage it. But if it was an outsider…

That would not be easy to handle.

Ike calmly said, "We will let the people trained in the Totto Land sea area handle it. Don't worry. The Kano Country will not take action against our family. As long as we establish a stable sea route, the Kano Country will even need to protect the families we leave here."

"After all!" Ike said with a smile, "If the three family lines we leave here are destroyed, then the Kano Country's car will no longer be able to keep moving either."

Artoria nodded in understanding and said seriously, "Under such circumstances, the three mafia families left behind by our family will instead become something no one can touch. At the very least, in the short term, before greater chaos arrives, that will be the case."

"Correct."

Ike smiled and nodded before continuing, "As for the candidates responsible…"

"The Vongola Family can be handed to Little Forty-Five."

"The other family can be handed to Little Sixty-Six."

"As for the last…"

"Not suitable."

However!

Ike shook his head and calmly said, "What the West Blue's Three Great Mafia Families currently lack is actually a pillar. Right now, the West Blue's Five Great Mafia Families lack true pillars. This matter can be considered slowly in the future. There is no need to rush."

Artoria nodded repeatedly, indicating that she understood.

Artoria knew that her father was teaching her. Many matters would need to be handled and managed by her in the future. As she grew older, that would become increasingly true.

"Two or three years…"

Ike said emotionally, "At most, only two or three years. The Rocks Pirates will welcome the end of the era that belongs to them. When that time comes, the entire sea will fall into extremely terrifying chaos. Before the next balance arrives, that will be the best opportunity, an opportunity to expand the family."

Ike was not joking.

Although!

Right now, the Rocks Pirates dominated the sea and were known as the world's strongest pirate crew.

But…

One had to admit that although the Rocks Pirates were insane, the sea remained stable. Because pirates were a group of lawless people. When they could not see an opportunity to rise, they would naturally behave honestly.

But what about after that?

Once the Rocks Pirates were destroyed, what would the world become? At that time, what would everyone else think?

When whales fall, all things are born.

This phrase was absolutely not a joke. Precisely because of that, when that time came, the entire sea would fall into complete turmoil.

Based on the original story, Ike could infer that from the end of the Rocks era until the era before the Three Great Legendary Pirates stood at the top, the entire sea was extremely chaotic. This was a good opportunity. If they seized this opportunity, they could obtain enormous benefits.

As for the era after the Three Great Legendary Pirates stood at the top?

That would naturally be the beginning of the Great Pirate Era!

Ike might even push that era into existence himself, because a family's development could only reap the greatest benefits within chaos.

If there was no chaos?

Would others simply watch you grow stronger?

What a joke!

"Father!" Artoria thought and said, "The arrival of chaos is naturally a good opportunity. However, I believe that it would actually be best if we do not take action against the New World."

"Why?" Ike asked Artoria.

Although his eldest daughter seemed very outstanding, she was still only thirteen years old. Regardless of whether she was right or wrong, what mattered most was cultivating her ability to think independently.

"Our battlefront would be too long."

Artoria shook her head and said, "Our family does not have such powerful strength yet. The West Blue! In the future, these three great families will at least require Admiral-level combat power to guard them. Otherwise, everything will be meaningless. Wano Country is the same."

"Precisely because of that," Artoria said seriously, "under circumstances where our strength is insufficient, controlling the territories within the New World and firmly grasping those territories is the most important thing."

"Not bad!"

"Correct!"

Ike smiled and said, "You are right. Next! At the very least, within the next fifteen years, our family's power will not extend too far into the Grand Line or the four seas. The benefits that would bring are far too low."

Artoria nodded repeatedly.

At that moment.

"Please bring them in."

Very soon.

Kurozumi Fukurokuju brought two people inside. They were none other than Hua Duo and Hua Zhi, the brother and sister from the Kano Country.

Hua Duo smiled and said, "I truly did not expect that such a large island would be built so quickly!"

"Miss Hua Duo," Ike said with a smile, "as long as there is money, these things are very simple. And for the family, the thing we lack least is money."

Hua Duo smiled, then looked at Artoria and asked with a smile, "And this is?"

"My family's eldest daughter."

Looking at Artoria, who stood beside Ike neither humbly nor arrogantly, Hua Duo said with a smile, "Mr. Ike, then I will get straight to the point. Three days later, the Reverie will begin. That will be the best opportunity."

"The Four Seas Mafia Families!"

"The time has come to make a move."

Hua Duo spoke very calmly.

Ike also nodded and said, "The areas our side will be responsible for can be handed to me."

Hua Duo nodded. She was not joking. In this chapter of events, they had come to cooperate with this man because they were facing a century-old mafia force rooted in the West Blue. How many people had the Five Great Mafia Families raised over so many years?

Ike looked at Hua Duo and asked, "How many do you want?"

"The Capone Family."

"The Byrne Family."

"The Gambino Family."

"These are three of the West Blue's Five Great Mafia Families."

As Hua Duo introduced them, she continued, "All the territories controlled by the Five Great Mafia Families. Our two sides will act at the same time and take over the surrounding regions in the shortest possible time. After that, we will divide all the territories and spheres of influence. Mr. Ike, what do you think?"

Of course Ike understood what Hua Duo meant.

To put it simply, she wanted to eat a little more and was asking whether he had any objections.

Ike, however, had no objections. Instead, he smiled and said, "I agree with this arrangement. However, after this, the matters in the West Blue will still require Miss Hua Duo's protection."

"Miss Hua Duo, in this operation, all Devil Fruits will belong to me."

Listening to Ike state this condition without hesitation, it was clear that he had already thought it through long ago. Hua Duo hesitated slightly, then smiled. "Of course."

The two looked at one another, then both smiled.

This was true trade and cooperation.

There were gains and losses. Maintaining balance between both sides was enough. This was the path of mutual restraint.

Unless one side possessed absolute strength.

After the two confirmed everything, both sides also began making the final preparations and final movements.

Three days later!

As the Reverie began, the entire four seas would undergo earth-shaking changes.
