[Edward Rem]
[Identity: Fifth Daughter]
[Birthday: March 8th, Year 1471 of the Sea Circle Calendar]
[Talent: A-rank Blue Oni]
[Aptitude: A-]
These were the talents of his fourth and fifth daughters. It had to be said that both of them were exceptionally outstanding in terms of talent. His fourth daughter possessed A-rank talent and aptitude, while his fifth daughter possessed A-rank talent and A- aptitude.
"Mm~~~"
"Their nas will be Ram and Rem. The older sister will be Ram, and the younger sister will be Rem."
"No problem!"
"Husband, would you like a drink?"
Remi was extrely happy with the nas Ike had chosen, and she clumsily tried to offer him alcohol.
Ike took the wine bottle away from her, forced her to sleep, then left the delivery room with Selina.
After walking out of the delivery room, both of them sighed helplessly. They exchanged a glance, then sighed helplessly again.
Seeing this scene, Newgate's eyes instantly widened, and he asked anxiously, "Ike, Selina, nothing happened to the children, right?"
Ike waved his hand and said, "The children are fine. They're twin daughters, and both are extrely outstanding. But how should I put it? The Oni Tribe really isn't quite the sa as normal people!"
"I agree."
"Husband."
"I will return and rest first."
"Mm!"
Selina prepared to withdraw, and Ike nodded, allowing her to leave. Newgate, however, continued asking curiously about what exactly had happened.
After a brief silence, Ike gave him a rough explanation. Seriously. Newgate was rendered silent on the spot. He opened his mouth, feeling as though he should say sothing, yet he did not know what he was supposed to say.
It was indeed sowhat strange.
"Enough!" Ike raised his hand and said, "Big brother, don't keep dwelling on it here. Go back and rest. All three children are safe and sound, and their talents are all very good."
Newgate also nodded, and everyone left.
However!
After everyone had left, Remi glanced at her two daughters, climbed out of bed, curled her lips, dug out the fine wine she had hidden long ago, and continued drinking until she was drunk.
Huh?
The next day, when the young maid ca to serve Remi, she was almost scared to death. What on earth was this situation?
Fortunately!
Remi had rely drunk herself unconscious, and nothing had actually happened. Only after a chaotic commotion did the situation gradually calm down.
Ike narrowed his eyes, seemingly pondering sothing while also considering the current situation.
"Ike?" Newgate sat down carelessly, picked up the senbei at the side, and began eating. While drinking tea and eating senbei, he asked, "What are you thinking about?"
It was worth ntioning that Newgate had sohow learned about senbei from sowhere, and after that, he beca fascinated with them. He especially liked eating senbei.
Regarding this, Ike's attitude was that he sohow felt his big brother was now gradually becoming exactly like that lazy old dog.
"Ah!" Ike ca back to his senses and, after thinking for a mont, said, "I'm considering leaving the Totto Land sea area for a while next."
"Leaving?!"
"Hm?!"
Newgate asked curiously, "Do you have so kind of plan?"
"Snake Princess' child will not be born anyti soon. Based on the ti calculation…" Ike answered first, then thought briefly before continuing, "It should still take around fifteen months before the child is born. Aside from that, Gonlu's child should be born in about a month."
"As for the others…"
"Even Sally, who is the earliest, still needs around three months. I plan to leave the Totto Land sea area at a different ti."
Newgate rubbed his chin, then shook his head and said, "Ike! I think it would be better if you don't leave for now. How should I put it? The sisters-in-law at ho will basically be giving birth within this year. If you leave and sothing delays you, it won't be good."
"And?!" Newgate asked strangely, "What exactly are you planning to do?"
"Wano Country!"
Ike said very seriously, "I intend to go to Wano Country and see if I can establish trade with them. I want to purchase a batch of craftsn, shipwrights, swordsmiths, and also see whether I can purchase a group of samurai proficient in swordsmanship."
"Hm?!"
Listening to Ike's words, Newgate tilted his head and thought for a mont before asking, "Do you know where Wano Country is?"
"I'm not too sure…"
Ike was also stunned, then suddenly reacted.
Wait!
That was wrong!
The timing did not match. On this sea, for a closed-off country like Wano, very few people actually knew where its geographical location was. This could be seen from the fact that, in the original story, when the Whitebeard Pirates arrived in Wano, they did not even know what place it was.
Wano Country was similar to the Totto Land sea area. It only beca famous across the sea because it was occupied by one of the Four Emperors.
That was not strange.
As for now…
Basically, no one knew about it.
"And!" Newgate complained, "Isn't Wano Country in a closed-country state? Even if we go there, we probably won't be able to make a deal, right? Besides, isn't what you're talking about just buying people?"
"Regarding this matter…"
Ike also thought for a mont and said, "I'll send people to the black market and see whether we can buy a Log Pose and nautical chart leading to Wano Country. As for buying people, Wano Country's internal situation is relatively special. We can simply contact the Kurozumi clan."
At this ti, the Kurozumi clan had surely already been rejected by all of Wano. Because of that, this was almost an excellent opportunity. Whether they could seize it or not depended on the circumstances.
"So that's how it is!" Newgate rubbed his chin, thought briefly, then nodded. "I don't really have any objections. However! You should study it properly first and decide after confirming things. Or rather, send soone else there first."
"These things are indeed not urgent. In short…"
"It will be fine to leave after the wives at ho have given birth."
Ike agreed with this as well.
How should he put it?
Ike had discovered that each round of pregnancy and childbirth on his side seed to follow a cycle of roughly three years. Pregnancy was one part of it, and after his Life Energy level increased, his wives also needed to improve. That seed to take around one year.
Just by calculating the ti, it was clear. Sally had given birth to Agravain on March 15th, Year 1469 of the Sea Circle Calendar.
And now?
It was already March 8th, Year 1471 of the Sea Circle Calendar. A full two years had truly passed, with roughly one year in between.
Of course.
Ike felt that this ti was still a little short. Ideally, each of his wives should have an interval of three years. That would be a better cycle. Otherwise, the damage to their bodies would be too great.
Ike had considered things quite thoroughly.
"Gurararara~~~"
Newgate laughed in agreent. "That's why I said not to rush off too quickly. This isn't so urgent matter to begin with. Just take it slowly. If you leave too hastily, the follow-up matters may not turn out well."
"Wasn't this what you said?" Newgate said casually. "The developnt of a family requires step-by-step growth. You can't rush it."
"I'm not rushing either!" Ike looked at his big brother, who was now lecturing him, and shook his head with a light smile. "I just think that when it cos to the family's developnt, many things need to advance at the sa ti."
"Especially…"
Ike continued, "Big brother, you have joined the Rocks Pirates. Next, the Rocks Pirates will definitely start moving more and more. After all, to stabilize a group of madn, even without thinking too hard, one would know that continuous inco is required. In the future, the amount of money being divided will grow larger and larger, so naturally, we need to consider things."
"What exactly needs to be considered?" Newgate did not refute him either. His responsibility was to bring in money. Family developnt had nothing to do with him. That was not his responsibility.
"First, inside the Totto Land sea area, we need to begin arranging weapons."
"Weapons manufacturing?"
"That's right!"
"The two entrances to the Totto Land sea area both need weapon placents. Otherwise, if we have people guard them every day, wouldn't that be idiotic? Wano Country's craftsn are extrely outstanding in this regard. They can manufacture weapons with greater precision and greater power."
"As for Wano Country's shipwrights and swordsmiths, Wano is indeed even more outstanding in that field. In the future, whether it is for nurturing that child, Nimaiya Ōetsu, or for building ships and forging weapons for the family, they will all be necessary."
"As for Wano Country's samurai families, when it cos to complete swordsmanship inheritance, Wano is also the most outstanding."
Listening to his younger brother's summary, Newgate nodded seriously. This was indeed the case.
"That does make sense!"
Ike continued, "As for the construction of the Totto Land sea area, we also need to open trade in the underground world. There is also the Whitebeard Pirates' future developnt after the Rocks Pirates eventually disband, the establishnt of an intelligence departnt, and founding a nation in the future…"
"Enough!"
"Enough!"
Newgate hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Stop talking, stop talking. If you keep going, that would be very rude of you!"
"Hahaha…"
Seeing his big brother hurriedly wave his hand, Ike could not help but laugh softly. His big brother truly disliked dealing with these things. Looking at Newgate's disgusted expression, Ike chuckled and said, "That's why family developnt isn't that easy. It's not sothing that can be solved by simply having children."
"Uh~~~"
"I understand…"
Looking at his big brother's dead-fish expression, Ike truly wanted to take off his shoe and slap him twice. What was with that look?
"Oh!"
While the two brothers were chatting casually, a sudden commotion rang out.
The two brothers stood up at the sa ti, leapt straight out of the window, and rushed out of the castle. The first thing they saw was a miniature red dragon spreading its wings and soaring high, roaring toward the sky. Its mouth spat streams of crimson flas as it circled in the air.
"My lord!"
"My lord!"
The young maids ran over in a panic. Having received training, they were all crying at this mont, sobbing in fear, "We don't know what happened! The young miss suddenly changed into this red dragon!"
The young maids were all crying. They had already seen their own deaths coming. The eldest young miss they were responsible for caring for had suddenly transford into a red dragon. Wasn't that a death sentence? They only hoped that their rciful lord would not implicate their families. That would already be the best result.
"Enough." Ike raised his hand and said calmly, "You may withdraw. This matter has nothing to do with you."
"Ah?!"
"Yes!"
"My lord!"
The four young maids hurriedly retreated.
After they left, Newgate asked curiously, "Ike, what's going on?"
"Lily's bloodline should have awakened." Ike explained, "When Lily was born, didn't a red dragon rush into her heart? That was Lily's talent. You know this as well, big brother. My ability allows to see my family mbers' aptitudes and talents."
"Mm!"
Newgate nodded. He knew that this was not an ability but his younger brother's talent. Clearly, Lily's talent had awakened as well. As for whether this was a Devil Fruit? It did not matter! This was no joke. There were far too many naturally gifted special existences in this world. Basically, the alien races were all like this.
Why did humans dislike alien races?
This was the reason.
Humans needed to eat Devil Fruits to possess all kinds of special powers, yet alien races were born with them naturally. How could humans possibly be happy about that?
"Father!"
"Uncle!"
At this ti, the red dragon descended from the sky and circled before the two of them. Its huge head directly leaned over.
Ike said gently, "Lily, control yourself and try to return to your human body."
"Gurararara…"
Newgate laughed loudly and said, "Lily really is amazing!"
At the side, when Selina heard about her daughter's situation, she was nearly scared to death and hurried over in a panic. However! Since nothing had happened, that was good. After hearing this, she was no longer in such a hurry and slowly walked over.
"I'll try…"
Red Dragon Lily shook her dragon head as though studying how to control it.
Very soon, the enormous red dragon began shrinking at a visible speed, gradually returning to human size. Artoria clenched her small fists and said happily, "Father, Mother, Uncle!"
"You child!" Selina carefully hugged Artoria and asked gently, "What exactly happened?"
Artoria obediently said, "I just felt like my body could turn into sothing. I thought about it, and then I beca a red dragon."
"This is the awakening of your bloodline power." Ike said gently, "However, Lily, you must pay more attention in the future. You must control this power, not be controlled by it."
"Don't worry!"
The ahoge on top of Artoria's head stood straight up, and her entire body was filled with confidence.
"Gurararara~~~"
"You…"
Ike, Selina, and Newgate, the three elders, all laughed. Artoria laughed adorably as well, her ahoge spinning in circles.
However…
The matter here had only just co to an end.
On the other side!
Boom!
Along with an ear-splitting roar, Ike, Newgate, Selina, and Artoria raised their heads and saw an extrely terrifying, massive figure. Even while sitting on the ground, it was dozens of ters tall. It was a figure with no skin at all, appearing as though its entire body was covered in exposed muscle.
When Ike saw this scene, he imdiately reacted and understood what was going on. He directly ordered, "Go investigate imdiately and see whether there are any casualties. That location is where the hospital is. Hurry!"
The young maids who had followed Selina imdiately began moving, while the four of them also rushed in that direction. Artoria even transford into a red dragon, carrying her three elders as she flew over.
Newgate asked, "Ike, what's going on?"
"Husband?"
"Father?"
The mother and daughter also asked curiously.
After thinking briefly, Ike said, "It should be Bertolt's talent. It really is a trump card! His talent awakened when he's still this young? However! As soone born a Giant, he probably used his ability directly without being able to control it. Let's go take a look first and confirm whether there are any casualties."
As for the hospital?!
The hospital itself was not a big deal. If it was destroyed, they could simply rebuild it. That truly did not matter.
But!
If there were casualties, Ike would need to make proper compensation.
Ike truly had not expected today's situation at all.
His eldest daughter had just dragonified, and as soon as that ended, good grief, his youngest son had actually titanized. Just what were these two little brats trying to do?!
