"Gurararara~~~"
"A swordsmanship teacher?!"
"Who's learning?"
"Artoria?"
"No problem!"
"No problem at all!"
The mont Newgate heard that his beloved niece wanted to learn swordsmanship, he imdiately agreed without hesitation.
He had originally been about to return to Totto Land.
But now?
nothing mattered more than his niece's wishes.
If his niece wanted to learn swordsmanship, then he would find the most suitable teacher—imdiately!
…
Ike hung up the Den Den Mushi and muttered to himself, "With big brother acting like this… why do I feel like Artoria is his daughter instead? This feels really strange. He's even more invested than , her actual father!"
"Hehe…"
Standing beside him, Selina said gently, "Husband, perhaps this is simply how elder brother shows his affection for family? To him, blood-related family mbers are the most important of all."
"Well…"
"Sothing like that."
Ike thought about it briefly and nodded.
There was no denying it.
In the original story—
His big brother's personality had always been extrely stubborn. He treated family as the most important thing in his life.
And now?
Now that he truly had family—real blood relatives—
Honestly, it was unbelievable.
No exaggeration—
For his big brother, this was on a completely different level.
Think about it—
Who mattered more to Newgate? Artoria or Marco?
Marco was still family to Newgate,
but Artoria was different—she was the first blood relative of the Edward Family's next generation.
At the end of the day—
True blood relatives were what mattered most.
Ah!
Worth ntioning—
Ike didn't mind at all if his big brother decided to have children.
[Many Children, Many Blessings]
This system didn't only apply to his own children—it applied to all children related by blood.
His big brother was also part of the Edward bloodline.
Any children he had would fall within the system's scope as well.
However…
"Sigh…"
Ike shook his head helplessly.
When it ca to his overly straight-laced big brother, he really didn't know what to say.
What kind of mindset was that?
Couldn't he just be normal for once?!
Ike felt a headache coming on.
His big brother truly had zero interest in won.
Now he finally understood—
Why in the original story, his big brother chose to adopt sons.
So that was the reason.
"Hehe…"
Selina simply smiled softly and said, "Husband, don't worry too much. By the way, Sally and Snake Princess should be giving birth soon."
"That's true…"
Ike calculated the ti.
It was already March.
At most, it would only be a few more days.
However—
Ever since Selina had given birth, Ike had already experienced becoming a father once.
So now, he wasn't nearly as tense about it.
"Selina," Ike said calmly, "keep an eye on things. I don't want anything going wrong."
"Husband…"
Selina replied gently, "Don't worry. There won't be any accidents. Their conditions have been thoroughly checked—they're both in excellent health. The babies are developing well too. And… according to the examination, they should both be boys."
"Sons, huh…"
Ike didn't seem particularly affected. He simply said casually, "We'll see when they're born. As long as mother and child are safe, that's all that matters."
"Alright~~~"
Selina's smile grew even softer.
She had been worried—
That Ike might value sons more, and once the boys were born, he would pay less attention to their daughter.
But in reality—
What Ike valued wasn't sons.
It was talent.
In his view—
First of all, whether a child was male or female didn't matter.
What truly mattered was talent.
As long as the talent was sufficient—
Gender was irrelevant.
After all—
His first child, his daughter, already possessed S talent.
If anything—
It would be extrely difficult for any future child to surpass her.
So—
He would simply wait and see.
If these two sons had good talent, they would be properly cultivated—either to stand on their own or assist his eldest daughter in the future.
If their talent was lacking—
Then once they reached adulthood, they would marry and have children, continuing the third generation of the Edward Family.
That was the general plan.
Eight days passed.
Soon—
Ti flew by.
Newgate returned, laughing loudly.
"Uncle!"
"Gurararara~~~"
Holding little Artoria in his arms, Newgate laughed happily. "My dear niece! You wanted to learn swordsmanship—I found you the most suitable teacher. They say his ancestors ca from Wano Country!"
"Master!"
"Greetings!"
"Young miss!"
"Young miss!"
The swordsman, dressed in traditional attire, quickly waved his hands and said respectfully, "Lady Artoria, there's no need for such formality. I will only teach you the basics of swordsmanship. As for being called 'master,' I do not deserve such a title!"
Newgate didn't care much about that and instead asked, "Where's your father?"
"Father?" Artoria seed to recall sothing and quickly said, "Uncle! Uncle! Let's go back quickly! Aunt Sally and Aunt Snake Princess have both given birth—I have two younger brothers now!"
"What?!"
Newgate's eyes widened instantly.
Holding Artoria, he dashed forward at full speed, rushing straight toward the castle.
Naturally—
Others would handle the arrangents for the swordsman's residence.
And not just the swordsman himself—
Newgate had gone all out, bringing over the swordsman's entire family to settle in Totto Land from now on.
Tap! Tap!
Listening to the rapid, heavy footsteps approaching, Ike didn't even need to use Observation Haki to know who it was.
