After Mordred was born, the entire Totto Land sea area returned to a state of balance.
Ike estimated the ti. Snake Princess would need at least another five or six months before giving birth. Of course, this was only an estimate. Clearly, Snake Princess' pregnancy this ti was rather special, and no one knew exactly how long it would take afterward.
[Edward Ike]
[Identity: Head of the Edward Family]
[Daughters: 7]
[Sons: 22]
[Spiritual Energy: Level 21]
[Life Energy: Level 41]
[Three Types of Haki: Level 21]
Ike looked at his panel. This was his current level.
As for why his Spiritual Energy had suddenly risen?
According to the results of his own research, the boosts from the talents Naturally Gifted and One Step Above Others did not seem to have a fixed rule regarding whether they increased Spiritual Energy or Life Energy. Instead, whichever was lower would receive the increase.
After studying it for a while, Ike felt that this was more or less the case, so he left it at that and did not dwell on it too much.
"Mm~~~"
"Next…"
Ike murmured softly, "It is also ti to set sail. The internal situation of the Totto Land sea area is completely stable, and as for the outside world, there should not be any problems for the ti being. Under such circumstances…"
Ike gently tapped his temple, thinking about the possible problems that might appear.
First of all!
There would be no problem from the pirate side. Everyone knew that the Totto Land sea area was the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates, and his big brother was now a top officer of the Rocks Pirates.
Ah!
It was worth ntioning.
Although his big brother had not returned during this half-year, he had sent back a total of 17 billion Berries.
Ike felt that it was no wonder the Rocks Pirates eventually collapsed. Good grief, they robbed this fiercely? If they did not collapse, who would?
Aside from that.
His big brother had also sent back two Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits.
Family capacity 2.
As for why?
Baloric Redfield.
Zeff.
Although Zeff's performance in the original story was rather weak, his strength in his youth was truly not weak at all. These two n had also been invited by his big brother to join the Rocks Pirates, bringing in another two Mythical Zoan fruits.
Of course.
Shiki found the Roger Pirates in the end, but after fighting them to a draw, he failed just like that. Naturally, Roger was impossible to recruit into the Rocks Pirates.
There was no issue with pirates in the outside world. As for those who coveted the bounties placed on the two brothers in the underground world?
The bounties had been withdrawn. With the growth of the Rocks Pirates, that World Noble family imdiately withdrew the bounty without hesitation. What a joke. If they continued to offer it, who knew whether that group of madn would co knocking on their door?
It was more or less a matter of borrowing the tiger's skin to put on a grand play. That saying was not wrong. Anyone with even a bit of strength and a functioning brain would basically be impossible to cause trouble for the Totto Land sea area.
As for those weak fools without brains?
No problem!
The defensive forces arranged in the Totto Land sea area were completely enough to handle them.
After considering this point, two days later, Ike prepared the ship and was ready to leave.
Everything that needed to be prepared had already been prepared. In that case, of course it was ti to leave.
"Husband." Although Selina's body had not fully recovered, she still ca to send Ike off and said gently, "I will handle the affairs of the Totto Land sea area properly."
"Mm!"
Ike nodded and smiled. "Don't worry. There won't be any problems."
"Alright."
Selina nodded with a gentle smile. She believed her husband's words.
For this voyage, Sif, Remi, and Gonlu, the three won, planned to leave with Ike. All three won were in very good health. It had already been more than half a year since they had given birth, so they naturally intended to go out and take a look around. After all, they were not quite sure what the outside world was like.
Very soon.
After everything was ready, the ship gradually sailed into the distance. Its speed was not particularly fast as it slowly left the Totto Land sea area and finally disappeared into the sea.
"Mm~~~"
Selina shook her head gently. She understood these matters well enough. Moreover, as ti passed, she actually did not need to personally handle that much. As long as she nodded at the most important core points, that was enough.
Many things had beco extrely easy.
On the other side.
As the waves churned, Ike set sail with roughly three hundred people.
"Hahaha~~~"
"Your mother is out at sea again!"
Remi shouted excitedly, roaring with delight, "This old lady has been watching children during this period until I was bored to death!"
Ike looked at Remi strangely and complained, "Remi, if I rember correctly, weren't you just eating, drinking, and playing every day? Ram and Rem were taken care of by the maids, and recently they were even handed over to Selina!"
"Small matter."
"Small matter."
Remi waved her hand with a completely unconcerned expression and said, "Husband, let tell you, we Oni don't take care of children. Those two little girls actually still needed this old lady to feed them? Seriously!"
Sif and Gonlu both fell silent.
The two sisters had joined this voyage more because Bertolt was now almost one year old, so he had begun weaning and could follow his older brothers and sisters.
As for Acnologia, there was even less need to say anything. He was just like Artoria.
Gonlu had basically never felt much like a mother.
So!
That was the current situation. Seeing Remi shouting excitedly, the two sisters found it sowhat difficult to understand.
As for Ike, his attitude was that as long as she was happy, it was fine. As long as she liked it, that was enough. He would not say anything more.
Since they had already co out, there was no need to discuss these words too much.
Sif and Gonlu both shook their heads.
Sif asked, "Husband, are we heading straight to Wano Country next?"
"Let see…"
Ike took out the nautical chart, compared it with the Log Pose, then handed it to the navigator beside him and nodded. "No problem. Next, we will head directly to Wano Country. After all! The purpose of this voyage is very clear, and I do not really like wandering around aimlessly on the sea."
"Alright."
Sif nodded, while Gonlu asked curiously, "Sister, do you want to return to Elbaf Giant Island and take a look?"
There were Elbaf Giant villages all across the world, but only the Elbaf Giant village in the New World was called Elbaf Giant Island.
Because!
In the past, Elbaf Giant Island was the Elbaf Giant Kingdom. It was only because of the king's death that it had split apart. Even so, it remained the core of the Giant Tribe across the entire world.
"No." Sif shook her head and said, "It is better not to go back. Even if I return to the Giant Tribe, what I will face is only a divided Giant Tribe. My younger brother…"
"Sigh!"
Sif shook her head and said, "Loki is still far too young. Moreover! Although Loki is a prince, most of the ti, he thinks more about playing. He does not have the heart of a king at all. He truly is not suitable."
"Sif." Ike asked strangely, "Normally speaking, if I rember correctly, your Giant Tribe's royal bloodline should be a recessive bloodline. Since that is the case, you and Loki should not actually have any relationship, right?"
That was right!
Sif was a royal of the Giant Tribe, yet his eleventh son, Bertolt, was not royalty. In that case, did this not already explain the problem?
Moreover!
When Bertolt was born, Ike had already learned that the royal bloodline was recessive.
"Husband." Sif explained, "The Giant Tribe's royal bloodline is recessive. All Giants possess royal bloodline. Because of that, no one knows whose child will awaken the royal bloodline. After awakening, they must sever ties with their original family and beco royalty. People like , Loki, and the very few other royal mbers are all like this."
"So that's how it is!"
Ike nodded in understanding and said casually, "Sif, if you want to go back and take a look, then we can go. Although I dare not say my strength is terrifying, being on the sa level as big brother is not a problem. Going to Elbaf Giant Island would not be an issue."
"That is not it."
"Husband."
Sif said gently, "The Giant Tribe does not have that many rules. Everything is decided by strength. As long as one is strong, everything else is aningless."
"It is just…"
Sif shook her head and said, "I do not want to go back. In that place, every Giant values strength above all else. As for , I prefer the feeling of family affection at ho."
"If you ask this old lady!" Remi walked over with a wine bottle, slung an arm around Sif's shoulder, and said with a grin, "Why think so much? Co drink…"
Before she could finish speaking, Remi looked at the silent gazes of her husband and two sisters.
She turned around and walked away without the slightest hesitation.
Curling her lips, Remi wore a completely indifferent expression. If they would not let her say it, then she would not say it. This old lady would just stop talking.
"Hehehe~~~"
Seeing Remi stagger back to one side to continue drinking, Sif also laughed gently.
What she liked was precisely this feeling of ho.
"Husband." Sif smiled softly. "There is no need to consider . We can simply head to Wano Country."
"That is true!"
Gonlu nodded in agreent, then asked curiously, "Husband, does Wano Country have anything special?"
"Wano Country…"
"The craftsn, swordsmiths, and shipwrights of Wano Country are all quite good."
"Wano Country has ninety-eight percent of the world's Seastone mineral deposits, which are also the source of the so-called legendary gold."
"Wano Country probably has several hundred swordsmanship families with inherited traditions."
"Wano Country also has several Poneglyphs."
"Wano Country…"
"Mm~~~"
"Directly beneath Wano Country lies Pluton, one of the three Ancient Weapons."
"However."
"What a pity."
Ike shook his head and said, "There is definitely no hope regarding Pluton. It is impossible to obtain Pluton. Of course, our voyage this ti was not aid at Pluton to begin with."
Of course.
Although he said that, if Ike had the chance to obtain Pluton without being targeted by the World Governnt, he would absolutely take Pluton away without hesitation.
What a joke!
One of the three Ancient Weapons. Would it not be wonderful to directly seize such a weapon? Would it not be wonderful?!
So things needed to be considered later. At the very least, for now, he did not have that ability, and neither did the Edward Family.
As for Ike!
One good thing about him was that he had a very clear understanding of himself.
It was true that he was a transmigrator, but he absolutely did not have the ability to change the entire world for the ti being. That would be a matter for the future. Once his children grew up, all of that would no longer be a problem.
So!
Was there any need to rush?
Rush my ass!
His family's Artoria, his family's Acnologia—what level would those two children reach in the future? They would both be peak-plus versions of the strongest man in the original world, alright?!
That was the situation.
In any case!
Ike had never felt there was any need to rush. What the hell was there to rush for?
After setting sail from the Totto Land sea area, nearly twenty days passed.
Ike finally reached the waters of Wano Country.
Crackle!
Rumble!
Fierce storms completely covered the surroundings, and terrifying tornadoes appeared every now and then.
"As expected!" Ike looked at the scene before him and said with emotion, "This is the first natural barrier of Wano Country. Around Wano Country, this special weather is eternally shrouded here. Without enough strength, one would be fundantally unable to set foot on Wano's mainland."
Ike never dared underestimate the power of nature.
No joke.
Just look at Shiki in the original story. He was originally about to destroy the Roger Pirates during the Battle of Edd War, but because of a terrifying tornado, he ended up with a steering wheel stuck in his head.
Therefore.
Never underestimate the power of nature.
"My lord!" The navigator ca to report. "We are already about to approach Wano Country. There are still roughly three days of sailing before we reach the agreed location. However…"
"A small problem seems to have appeared ahead."
"What problem?"
Ike looked into the distance strangely. At this mont, another crew mber ca over and said, "My lord! A pirate crew seems to be forcing a woman. Should we go take a look?"
"Forcing?"
"Huh?"
When Ike heard this, he sohow felt a sense of déjà vu.
"Go take a look."
Ike found it rather interesting and gave the order.
Shing!
A young woman wearing a kimono drew the long blade at her waist. She had long erald-green hair and was exceptionally beautiful. With a serious expression, she said, "Everyone, please do not co any closer!"
"Hahaha~~~"
"Don't co closer?!"
"I'm coming closer precisely because you said that!"
"Beauty!"
"Not bad at all!"
"Exactly!"
The pirates looked at the beautiful young woman before them and were extrely excited. They were all very thrilled. They had thought that accidentally entering this stormy sea area would bring them quite a bit of trouble, but they never expected to encounter such a high-quality beauty.
This was a good thing!
A blessing in disguise!
"This is troubleso!" The young woman bit her thin lips and thought secretly, "Is it this difficult to reach Wano Country? If they continue coming closer, I can only use my Devil Fruit ability again…"
Her expression was extrely tense. She truly had not expected that, after this ti leap, she had finally reached a place not far from Wano Country, yet sothing like this would still happen.
Of course.
She still hoped soone could save her. That way, she would not need to leap through ti again.
"Brothers…"
Bang!
Bang!
The pirate captain had just been about to give an order when, in that instant, the roar of cannon fire had already sounded. The sound of bullets piercing through flesh rang out one after another, instantly tearing through the surrounding pirates.
"Who is it?!"
The pirate captain suddenly turned his head and saw an elite unit quickly approaching. They held long guns and fired rapidly in a short ti, eliminating pirate after pirate.
"You bastards!"
"Open fire!"
Seeing the pirate captain seem ready to resist, the squad leader silently gave the order. Under the barrage of gunfire, this captain, whose strength was clearly not very impressive, was directly riddled with holes.
"Greetings!" The squad leader looked at the beautiful young woman before him, bowed slightly, and said, "This way, please. My lord invites you aboard."
"My lord…"
The beautiful young woman looked at the ship and began considering whether she should board it. In the end, she bit her thin lips and decided that she still had to go aboard. No matter what, if she wanted to reach Wano Country, she had to leave this island.
If things truly did not work out, then she would simply activate her Devil Fruit ability and leave.
Thinking this, the beautiful young woman no longer hesitated and followed the squad onto the ship.
