By the ti Artoria in her red dragon form carried Ike, Newgate, and Selina, the three elders, to the scene, the matter had already been more or less dealt with.
Bertolt, who had originally titanized, was now lying in Sif's arms, looking as if he were already exhausted and needed a proper rest.
Sif was also extrely helpless.
"Husband!"
"Sister!"
"Brother!"
Seeing the group arrive, Sif said helplessly, "I thought Bertolt was a humanoid Giant, but I never expected him to be a Giant Tribe mber capable of switching between two forms. This type of Giant has only appeared a very small number of tis in the history of the Giant Tribe."
"Heh~~~"
Ike looked at Bertolt, who was sleeping in a daze, and did not say much.
He was only a child.
Bertolt had clearly awakened his ability all of a sudden. There was nothing that could be done about that.
"Sif," Ike asked, "how are the casualties at the hospital?"
"Husband!" Sif held Bertolt as she explained, "No one died. There are only so injured people. Since it is still early, barely anyone had co to work at the hospital yet. Only the hospital itself was destroyed, and a few people suffered minor injuries."
"That's good."
Ike did not ask too much. He knew very well that after Bertolt suddenly titanized, Sif must have used her Devil Fruit ability to gigantify herself and protect everyone.
However!
Judging from the difference in size, Sif was probably extrely tired as well.
"Sif," Selina asked softly, "Bertolt won't continue titanizing again after this, right?"
Sif smiled and said, "Don't worry. I have already helped him control it. As Bertolt grows, he will gradually learn to properly control his titanization. There will be no problem."
"That's good." Selina smiled gently. "Then let's return to the castle. As for this side, rebuild the hospital as quickly as possible. After all, Sister Gonlu is about to give birth soon."
"Alright."
Sif also smiled and nodded. As long as her child was not discriminated against or treated badly, that was already the best result.
"Gurararara~~~"
Newgate laughed boldly and said, "This really isn't bad! Lily awakened her Red Dragon bloodline, and now my little nephew has awakened his Titan form too! And! I took a look at my little nephew's Titan form. Wasn't it at least sixty ters tall?"
"About that…" Sif also thought of her son's special Titan form and considered it briefly before saying, "Brother, it should indeed be around that height."
"It's just…"
Sif said strangely, "If Bertolt awakened the bloodline of the Demon Race, then that would be understandable. But that form with no skin, looking entirely like exposed muscle, feels rather strange no matter how I look at it."
"Hehehe~~~"
Ike chuckled and said, "Perhaps that is simply the child's talent. It is a good thing for my youngest son to possess such talent. Sif, there is no need to think too much about it. No matter what, he is still my son. Besides! Among my children, there are already plenty of monsters. Didn't Lily just turn into a red dragon?"
Artoria puffed up her little cheeks adorably. Even her ahoge stood upright as she said, "Father, don't use as an example!"
Everyone burst into laughter, and this matter was also brushed aside.
After all!
As long as there were no casualties, then it was only the hospital that had collapsed. Of course that was a small matter. Besides, this was the child's talent. Everyone was happy before they could even finish celebrating.
For example, Newgate…
That very day, he brought the pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates and held a banquet, making the atmosphere lively and cheerful. His little nephew and two nieces all had such outstanding talents. How could he not be happy? Of course he was happy.
However!
After resting at ho for three days, Newgate once again left.
Just as Ike had said, the Rocks Pirates had already been established, and the next actions they would take would beco more and more frequent.
Newgate had to go make money. At the sa ti, he would continue searching for suitable people and recruit heads to earn money. After all, that was a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit. Even if he did not eat it himself, could it not be given to children in the family with more ordinary talents in the future?
That was what truly mattered.
Ti always passed very quickly.
March passed in the blink of an eye.
April 12th.
Outside the delivery room of the newly rebuilt hospital, Ike was quietly waiting there. Selina had also brought Artoria along and was waiting with him.
"Mm~~~"
Ike looked at the exceptionally happy Artoria and asked with a faint smile, "Lily, what's wrong? You seem especially happy today!"
"The scent of my own kind!" Artoria said happily. "This little brother is definitely the sa as !"
"Little brother?!"
Selina asked curiously, "Lily, why do you say it's a little brother? Why not a little sister?"
Artoria tilted her head adorably and said, "I don't know. I just know it's a little brother. And…"
"He is the sa as ."
"I see!" Selina rely smiled and nodded, not saying anything more.
The corner of Ike's mouth curled into a smile. Sure enough, his eldest daughter had sensed sothing.
Actually, after thinking about it carefully, this was also perfectly normal.
His eldest daughter's talent was the Red Dragon King. Although it was an artificial dragon, the fact that she could transform into a red dragon showed that she possessed a dragon bloodline as well.
His youngest son's talent was Black Dragon. He was naturally a dragon. Since that was the case, it was perfectly normal for her to sense him.
"However…"
Ike thought secretly, "In all kinds of stories, black dragons are usually extrely antisocial. I hope that will not be the case here!"
As for his own child, there was no need to worry about betrayal.
The problem was…
Ike was also helpless regarding this point. It was undeniable that his children would absolutely be loyal to him.
But between the children themselves, they were all normal people. What if conflicts arose among them?
This was also why Ike elevated Lily's status and deliberately promoted her position.
Among the children, there needed to be a leader. As the Red Dragon King, Artoria was undoubtedly the most suitable in terms of talent, ability, and every other aspect.
While Ike was thinking about this matter, an ear-splitting roar suddenly ca from inside the delivery room.
However, this ti, there was no panic.
Ike had been afraid that chaos might occur, so the doctors delivering the child were the sa batch of doctors who had delivered his eldest daughter two years ago.
"It's the sa as when the eldest young miss was born!"
"It feels about the sa!"
"Not quite the sa…"
The female doctors were all considering the situation. However, their hands moved with extre skill. Very quickly, everything was handled properly, and only then could Ike, Selina, and Artoria enter.
The three of them entered the delivery room.
At this mont, inside the delivery room, a transparent black dragon was circling through the room, letting out earth-shaking roars.
"Husband!"
"Sister!"
Gonlu looked at this scene and was extrely stunned, seemingly unable to understand why this was happening.
Ike gently comforted her, saying, "Don't worry. Nothing is wrong."
"That's good…" Gonlu finally let out a long breath. Of course, she did not want anything to happen to her child.
The black dragon roared toward the sky. It seed to be choosing soone suitable. It circled around Ike once, then finally circled around Artoria before actually flying straight toward her, gradually transforming into a human form.
He had brown skin and markings on his body. Although he was still very young, unlike other newborns who were wrinkled and crumpled, he was just like Artoria when she had first been born, appearing extrely lively. His eyes looked very fierce, yet they darted around curiously. Then, while lying in Artoria's arms, he fell asleep.
"Hehehe~~~"
Ike looked at this scene and chuckled softly. "A brat who is close to his older sister, huh!"
"That's wonderful…"
Gonlu let out a long breath, while Selina also smiled gently.
Artoria, on the other hand, was not flustered at all. There were so many younger brothers and sisters at ho. Of course she was already very skilled at holding children.
"Little brother!" Artoria patted the little brother in her arms and said with a smile, "He really looks like a very fierce little brother!"
"Hehehe…" Ike chuckled and said, "After all, the black dragon represents destruction. It is normal for this child to have a fiercer personality. Lily, you must accompany your little brother properly! The black dragon represents destruction. If you do not accompany your little brother well, he may beco bad."
"Father!" Artoria said with a smile, "Don't worry. I will definitely stay with my little brother properly."
"Good."
Ike smiled and nodded. Since his eldest daughter had said so, then there would naturally be no problem.
At the sa ti.
Ike also checked his son's panel.
[Edward Acnologia]
[Identity: Twelfth Son]
[Birthday: April 12th, Year 1471 of the Sea Circle Calendar]
[Talent: S Black Dragon]
[Aptitude: S ]
It was almost the exact sa talent as his eldest daughter's. Ike secretly nodded at this.
As for aptitude…
Sure enough.
Just as he had seen back then, although both were S , the colors were slightly different. His eldest daughter's S belonged to a very deep color, while this twelfth son's color was comparatively more transparent.
Of course!
This was understandable. His daughter had used an aptitude potion. It would be strange if she had not improved at all.
"As for his na…" Ike began thinking about the child's na. Looking at his brown skin and small dark-blue hair, he smiled and said, "Acnologia. Let him be called this. The na of a black dragon that represents destruction."
"Edward Acnologia. I hope this child will beco the black dragon that destroys all enemies of the family."
Ike's na already represented his expectations for his son.
Likewise!
The na Acnologia also proved his identity.
"Acnologia?"
"Aku!"
Artoria smiled and said, "From now on, I'll call you Aku."
"Hehehe…"
Selina and Gonlu could not help but laugh softly, while Gonlu was also extrely happy. She had never expected her child to actually be a humanoid Dragonkin. However, this was already the best result.
After all!
Gonlu had only just joined this large family. She understood the principle that a mother's status rose through her child. She also needed to rely on her child, and her child truly was outstanding.
Half a month later.
"Big sister!"
"Big sister!"
The tiny Acnologia followed Artoria's footsteps, looking extrely adorable.
It was basically the sa.
Walking at three days old.
Running at five days old.
Speaking at seven days old.
Just like Artoria back then, Acnologia perfectly displayed his talent. Moreover! Unlike Artoria, who possessed the Red Dragon bloodline, Acnologia was naturally a black dragon. He could directly transform into a black dragon.
Precisely because of this, despite his young age, Acnologia always liked transforming into a black dragon and following his big sister around. It could be said that he was extrely attached to his big sister.
As for his other older brothers and sisters?
Acnologia's personality was slightly colder toward them. However, familial affection still existed. It was just that the other older brothers and sisters had no way of making Acnologia listen obediently. Therefore, they were his older brothers and sisters, but they were not people he acknowledged.
The people Acnologia acknowledged, aside from his father, mother, aunt, and uncle, were only his eldest sister.
"Aku!" Artoria looked at her little brother and asked happily, "Do you want to study swordsmanship with ?"
During this past year, Newgate had found another batch of outstanding swordsn with decent swordsmanship skills, and Artoria had been learning under them.
Of course.
With Artoria's talent, she did not need to study for very long. Basically, she graduated very quickly. According to those swordsn, the eldest young miss was more suited to walking her own path. Learning from a hundred schools and taking their strengths was best for her.
"No!" Acnologia shook his head without hesitation. "Big sister, I don't like that kind of thing. I like fighting with my own body."
"Fighting with your own body?"
Artoria was stunned, then asked, "Aku, do you have sothing?"
"Of course!"
"Big sister!"
"Big sister!"
"Watch this!"
Acnologia seed extrely happy as well. These past few days, he had been studying how to give his big sister a surprise. Since Big Sister had sincerely asked, then he would show her and let her see the trick he had developed.
The tiny Acnologia took a deep breath. Within that breath, there was actually a blue-white aura. Seeing this, Artoria stopped him and said, "Aku, let's go to the edge of an uninhabited part of the island to test it."
"Okay, Big Sister!" Acnologia naturally had no objection.
The red dragon and the even smaller black dragon spread their wings and flew high, heading toward the deserted edge of Whole..
"Mm?!"
Ike, who had just finished handling work and was preparing to rest for a while, also saw this scene. Rubbing his chin, he said with interest, "Did sothing happen?"
Although Ike did not know what his eldest daughter and youngest son were planning to do, he was still curious and planned to follow them to take a look.
Very quickly.
The two dragon siblings arrived at the deserted coastline of Whole Cake Island. and returned to human form. Artoria asked curiously, "Aku, try it now."
"No problem!"
The little black dragon, who usually looked fierce and cold, now grinned as he raised his thumb. He clenched his small fists and stood in a horse stance.
Although the talents of these siblings were both extrely outstanding, with their current strength, they naturally could not discover Ike's arrival. As Acnologia prepared, Ike had already arrived about ten ters behind them. He did not interrupt and simply watched quietly, planning to see what these two little fellows were trying to do.
"This stance?"
"Hm?!"
Ike looked at Acnologia's posture and seed to think of sothing. He also suddenly recalled sothing and felt that it seed extrely familiar.
"However…" Ike shook his head and murmured softly, "It isn't impossible. After all, with S level talent and aptitude, possessing that kind of aptitude, it should be natural for him to mobilize the energy contained within his own body."
Still!
Although Ike found it familiar, he instinctively felt that it should be impossible.
After thinking about it, though, the possibility seed quite high. After all, with S level monstrous aptitude and talent standing right there, accomplishing it would not be anything strange, would it?
