"Ike!"
"How is it?!"
Although Newgate was extrely anxious, he still rembered to keep his voice down.
"Big brother," Ike greeted calmly, "don't worry. Everything is stable. If nothing unexpected happens, they'll be born very soon."
"That's good!"
Newgate let out a long breath and carefully placed Artoria, whom he had been holding, onto the ground.
Artoria happily ran over and hugged Ike. "Father! Father!"
"Mm…"
Ike picked her up and said gently, "So? Did your uncle bring your teacher back?"
"Hehe~~~"
"He did!"
"That's good."
Ike smiled and played with Artoria, while Newgate leaned against the wall, waiting quietly.
Soon—
As ti passed—
About half an hour later.
"Husband."
"Brother."
Selina spoke softly, "It should be over."
Sure enough—
The mont Selina finished speaking, the female doctor walked out and said respectfully, "My lords! Madam! Both ladies have safely given birth—it's two young masters."
"I understand."
Ike stood up, holding Artoria, and walked toward the delivery room.
Selina followed behind him, while Newgate remained outside, rubbing his hands together excitedly.
"That's great!"
"That's great!"
"Gurararara~~~"
Newgate laughed happily. "My family's grown again! Two nephews! I wonder how they are!"
He was genuinely overjoyed.
Truly delighted.
anwhile—
Ike entered the room with Artoria in his arms, Selina following closely.
Looking at Sally and Snake Princess, who were both extrely weak, he nodded gently.
No matter what—
They had given birth to children for the Edward Family.
Regardless of talent, they deserved proper care and rest.
Both won smiled.
Naturally, they had also feared that sothing might go wrong.
The two newborn boys—
Compared to Artoria at birth—
Though still quite adorable—
Well…
The difference was obvious at a glance.
After all—
When Artoria was born, there had been the roar of a red dragon, and the crimson dragon sigil on her chest proved just how extraordinary she was.
As for these two boys?
They were much more normal.
While they still seed above average—
Compared to Artoria, there was simply no comparison.
Still—
Overall—
Ike was fairly satisfied with his two sons.
[——]
[Identity: Eldest Son]
[Birthday: March 15th, Year 1469 of the Sea Circle Calendar]
[Talent: B-Rank — The Sun Glanced at You]
[Aptitude: B]
[——]
[Identity: Second Son]
[Birthday: March 15th, Year 1469 of the Sea Circle Calendar]
[Talent: C — Iron]
[Aptitude: C ]
…
Looking at the status panels of his two sons, Ike couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
This…
Was a bit awkward.
His eldest son had B-rank talent and B-rank aptitude—essentially the sa as himself.
Mm…
His future growth ceiling would probably be around the level of a Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral.
In fact—
Through his own research, Ike had gradually realized—
Talent plus aptitude largely determined a person's upper limit.
Of course—
Could this be changed?
In theory, yes.
Whether through rare treasures that improved aptitude, or by breaking one's own limits—
Both were possible.
But the difficulty?
Well—
Anyone who understood the process knew how difficult that was.
Ike's own natural talent was B-rank, so his growth ceiling was roughly mid-level Vice Admiral—neither top-tier nor weak, but definitely at officer-level strength.
As for C-rank talent—
That was roughly Rear Admiral level.
With a good Devil Fruit, perhaps one could reach low-tier Vice Admiral level.
That was about it.
As for his eldest daughter?
Mm…
Ike put it simply—
His big brother's talent was around S- rank.
His daughter's was a true S .
Did that need further explanation?
Not really.
However…
"The Sun Glanced at You."
"Iron."
Looking at the nas of his sons' talents, Ike couldn't help but feel awkward.
Others had nas like "Blessing of the Sun," "Child of the Sun," or "Guardian of the Sun."
But this…
"The Sun Glanced at You."
To put it bluntly—
The sun just… took a slight interest in you.
That's all it ant.
And as for "Iron"?
Ike wasn't entirely sure what it represented, but judging by its C rank, it likely only provided so enhancent to defense or attack.
Nothing particularly remarkable.
Compared to that—
His daughter?
Heh…
Her strength was absurdly overwhelming.
Her defense surpassed even the Iron Balloon.
Her recovery was comparable to a Mythical Zoan.
Her vitality was beyond human.
In the end—
Ike ca to a simple conclusion.
His eldest daughter, with her S Red Dragon King talent—
Wasn't even human.
She was essentially a juvenile red dragon.
"Still…"
Ike wasn't too bothered.
No big deal.
He thought to himself, "A B-rank talent and a C rank talent—at the very least, one Vice Admiral and one Rear Admiral in the future. Maybe even two Vice Admirals if things go well. Not bad."
He was quite relaxed about it.
After all—
His eldest daughter was already an absurd anomaly.
As for the others?
Good enough was fine.
With the system's support, his own talent would continue to improve—
And under that influence, the talents of his future children would also beco increasingly powerful.
This—
Was a positive cycle.
