April 1st, Year 1473 of the Sea Circle Calendar.
His eighth daughter.
His ninth daughter.
Four months had already passed since the two girls were born.
So far!
Ike had already carried out two more transactions with the Kurozumi clan, respectively bringing back ten thousand people and over ten thousand more.
It could be said that when the Kurozumi clan sold people, they truly had no concerns at all. Their thods were genuinely ruthless. Calculating the ti, Sif had also been pregnant for around ten months. She would be giving birth this month as well.
At the sa ti!
The transaction between the Edward Family and the Kurozumi clan in Wano Country had completely stabilized. There should be no problem conducting around three transactions a year.
The internal construction of the Totto Land sea area had also beco even more vigorous, especially after Wano Country's craftsn joined. Wano truly was extrely outstanding in this regard. Craftsn, swordsmiths, shipwrights—in terms of craftsmanship, they were astonishing. Building speed, quality, and improvents to the original designs were all advancing in full swing.
Whitebeard's speed of earning money in the Rocks Pirates was also growing faster and faster. After all! As that madman Rocks recruited more pirates, naturally, he needed to train them externally. The amount of Berries plundered through this was extrely large.
In short.
The Edward Family could be considered to have thoroughly stepped onto the right track. Everything was developing steadily, and everything was improving stably.
"Jashin-chan Flying Kick!"
"Heeheehee~~~"
"Big sister, take this!"
"Today!"
"I'm going to usurp the throne!"
Although only four months had passed, no one knew what exactly was going on with Jashin-chan. At such a young age, she had already grown extrely quickly. With golden hair and a blue-green snake tail leaning more toward green, she looked like a fourteen- or fifteen-year-old girl.
Mm!
Very much like a young girl. Though she was clearly only four months old, she already looked like a teenage girl.
And now!
Artoria silently showed a face full of question marks.
As the eldest sister, Artoria's growth speed was also quite fast, but it was still linked to her age. She was only four years old now, but she looked like a seven- or eight-year-old little girl.
However!
Artoria looked at the deep pit before her, walked to the edge of the pit, and silently complained, "Little Jashin-chan, what are you doing?"
"Damn it!" Jashin-chan crawled out of the deep pit. Her whole body was covered in dust, and dense injuries covered her body. Yet she gnashed her teeth and said, "Big sister, damn it! You actually dodged my self-created Jashin-chan Flying Kick! I had clearly prepared to take your position as the eldest sister!"
Artoria truly did not know what she should say.
Please!
She had been standing in the sa place and had not even moved at all. Clearly, Jashin-chan's aim simply had not been accurate enough.
Or rather…
The distance she had deviated was already more than thirty ters, alright?!
Of course.
As Jashin-chan climbed out of the deep pit, the injuries on her body had already completely recovered. That was right! This was one of Jashin-chan's talents. Her talent was extrely heaven-defying. In terms of aptitude, Jashin-chan only had S- aptitude, but in terms of talent…
Jashin-chan's recovery ability was extrely terrifying. In a certain sense.
No!
There was no need to say in a certain sense. It was an actual, genuine ability of immortality. Even if Jashin-chan were crushed into at paste and smashed to pieces, she only needed ti to recover. After Jashin-chan's death-seeking level of testing, it took roughly five days.
As for why?
Mm!
Jashin-chan's growth speed was extrely fast. In one and a half months, she had already grown to this size, and after that, she stopped developing.
After that, once Jashin-chan witnessed her big sister's valiant and heroic posture, she constantly plotted—or rather, purely ssed around—trying to seize her big sister's position as eldest sister.
Of course!
No one cared about Jashin-chan's nonsense. Although every one of her moves looked extrely astonishing in power, the problem was that Jashin-chan's strength was right there. On top of that, she was mostly just ssing around. Everyone simply did not care. She always ended up covered in injuries, but she recovered very quickly. Everyone also knew that Jashin-chan's recovery power was extrely astonishing.
Of course!
Up until this point, everything had been normal. Jashin-chan rely liked fooling around, and a lot of the ti, she was also very obedient.
Until one ti, Jashin-chan flew up with a kick, intending to "assassinate" her big sister. Suddenly, she genuinely crashed into a deep pit that was being blasted open. In an instant, the explosion inside the pit directly blew Jashin-chan to pieces.
At that ti, the workers had already written their wills.
In the end!
Several days later, Jashin-chan completely revived again, looking as if nothing had happened. From that mont on, everyone knew that Jashin-chan did not possess so super powerful recovery ability!
Good grief.
This was practically immortality!
From that mont on…
Relying on the fact that she would not die, Jashin-chan went madly courting death, testing the limits of her recovery ability. In particular, her attacks on her big sister ca one after another. For example, this ti had already beco routine.
It was worth ntioning!
Although Jashin-chan would not die, she still had pain. However! Another of Jashin-chan's talents was an extrely terrifying nerve toughness and immunity to pain. The pain of being crushed to pieces, which would be unbearable for ordinary people, was only more or less that much to Jashin-chan.
With pain weakened and her terrifyingly thick nerves, Jashin-chan naturally did not care.
So!
Jashin-chan was either courting death or on the road to courting death.
Artoria had already gotten used to it. Jashin-chan was like a child—or rather, wasn't she just a four-month-old child? Although she looked like a teenage girl.
However.
Many tis, Jashin-chan was only playing around and making a fuss. It was not that Artoria had never tried taking this so-called Jashin-chan Flying Kick. That move, which looked extrely powerful, was actually about the sa as a massage.
"Alright!" Artoria looked at her younger sister and said helplessly, "Little Jashin-chan, be good. I heard that they specially prepared an especially delicious snake at soup for you today!"
"Ah?!"
"That's amazing!"
"Ah!"
"Wuwuwu~~~"
Jashin-chan directly jumped up. However, in the next mont, she weakly collapsed onto the ground.
Jashin-chan rolled around on the spot and cried out mournfully, "Big sister! Big sister! I'm so tired, so tired! I can't walk anymore! I can't walk anymore!"
"Seriously…"
Artoria, who was only a little child herself, looked at this younger sister whose appearance was even older than her own and looked completely helpless. Yet more than that, there was indulgent affection.
Although.
Jashin-chan always wanted to steal her big sister's position, she was also the one who clung to her big sister the most every day. It could even be said that when sleeping at night, Jashin-chan had to sleep together with her big sister. Otherwise, she would toss and turn all night and be unable to fall asleep.
"Roar!"
The next mont.
A red dragon spread its wings and soared high, holding Jashin-chan in its claws.
"Oh-ho!"
"This is great!"
"Hahaha~~~"
Lying inside Artoria's dragon claws, Jashin-chan let out happy cheers. Artoria also felt very helpless toward her younger sister. She was like soone who beca crazy the mont there was a crowd, yet she was a very adorable younger sister.
Very soon!
The two sisters landed at the castle entrance. Jashin-chan jumped down, and as Artoria returned to human form, she imdiately hugged Artoria and said sinisterly, "Big sister, you fell for it! This was all part of my plan. Next, I will…"
"Big sister?"
"Little Jashin-chan?"
Percival, who had just returned, smiled and said, "Little Jashin-chan, are you ssing around with Big Sister again? Right! It's almost ti to eat. I heard that today's snake at soup is extrely precious. The snake at was caught from the West Blue. On average, only one can be caught every ten years."
"Big sister!" Jashin-chan grabbed Artoria and imdiately rushed straight toward the dining hall, shouting excitedly, "Ti to eat! Ti to eat!"
"Mm~~~"
Percival tilted his head. With his young face, he also muttered very strangely, "Isn't Little Jashin-chan of the Serpent Tribe? Why does she like eating snake at so much?"
"Fifth Brother, what are you doing here?"
Gaheris walked back step by step and looked at Percival curiously.
Percival shook his head, then asked, "Eighth Brother, why do you think Little Jashin-chan likes eating snake at soup?"
Gaheris was full of question marks, not understanding what his fifth brother ant by asking such a question.
Personal preference?
She liked eating it?
Why would anyone know the reason a person liked eating sothing? Was this not basically a joke?
Percival and Gaheris also quickly walked toward the dining hall.
Very soon.
As dinnerti arrived, every little fellow ca to the dining hall. Even Mordred was already one year old and could sit at the dining table to eat by herself. The group of little fellows all sat neatly in a row.
Of course.
Kiyohi was not included among them. Kiyohi was only four months old. Moreover! Kiyohi was not like Jashin-chan, whose developnt speed was super fast. Instead, her growth speed was normal. It could even be said to be the sa as that of a normal Serpent Tribe mber.
The Serpent Tribe's growth speed was slower than that of humans, and Kiyohi looked like a proper Serpent Tribe mber. As for Jashin-chan?
One could only say!
As expected of S- talent. She was truly very special!
"Ti to eat!"
Following Artoria's order to begin eating, each little fellow tasted the food in a very proper manner. No talking while eating, no speaking while sleeping. Every little fellow behaved extrely well.
Of course!
This definitely did not include Jashin-chan. She ate like a storm sweeping through clouds, and from ti to ti, she let out strange laughter.
How should it be put?
For everyone, they all loved their younger sister, Little Jashin-chan, very much.
For every child of the Edward Family, Little Jashin-chan was the most adorable younger sister in their family, and also the younger sister everyone doted on. Of course, no one would say anything.
However.
They would not imitate Little Jashin-chan either. If they dared to imitate her, their mothers would definitely educate them. This was Little Jashin-chan's exclusive privilege. Although it was a privilege, they were not envious of it, because she was the younger sister they loved.
As for Little Jashin-chan herself, in many situations, she was actually foolish and silly, like a dumb little idiot. She always liked trying to seize the position of eldest sister, yet without Eldest Sister, she could not even sleep. She was simply a silly little fellow.
Little Jashin-chan was truly the genuine group favorite!
After dinner ended.
Jashin-chan spent her daily ti playing and ssing around with her big sister before following her big sister back to sleep.
Night fell.
The entire castle on Whole Cake Island. also returned to calm and silence.
"Husband!" Snake Princess coiled around Ike and said softly, "This concubine…"
"What is it?"
Ike looked gently at Snake Princess, while Snake Princess said sowhat embarrassedly, "Little Jashin-chan is always ssing around. Moreover! She says this and that. If it were not for Husband never caring, even if the sisters did not mind, others might…"
That was indeed the case!
The family knew Jashin-chan was joking. However, sotis, the difference between joke and fact was only a single step. Those who did not know might think what she said was true. At that ti, if word spread out, there would truly be no way to explain it clearly. When that happened, it would be troubleso.
"Hehehe~~~"
Ike chuckled and shook his head gently. "Snake Princess, there is no need to be so nervous. Little Jashin-chan is an adorable child. Moreover! Although this child is always ssing around, when it cos to Lily, this eldest sister, she relies on her abnormally. This reliance even exceeds her reliance on you as her mother."
"Yes!" Snake Princess also smiled and said, "Little Jashin-chan's dependence on Lily is truly very great. This dependence has even surpassed , her mother. I truly did not expect it!"
Snake Princess had not expected this either. How should it be put…
Jashin-chan's dependence on Artoria was truly too great. That kind of dependence even felt a little strange.
However!
Ike could actually understand it sowhat. In certain mythological stories, the evolution of a snake was a dragon. Jashin-chan was a snake, while Lily represented the dragon. As for why she did not cling to Aku?
The fundantal reason was that Aku's personality was too brutal and ferocious. Normally speaking, his brothers and sisters trusted him very much.
However.
A child like Jashin-chan could not possibly cling especially much to Aku. As for Aku's attitude toward this, naturally, he did not care.
"Alright!"
"Don't think too much."
Ike said gently, "Just rest properly. Otherwise, if Kiyohi wakes up later, you will sleep even worse."
"Okay!"
Ike and Snake Princess soon fell into a deep sleep as well.
The next day!
Just as Ike woke up, he saw Artoria and Jashin-chan playing and running past together. Looking at this scene, he was actually rather happy.
How should it be put…
His eldest daughter was truly far too mature. She was clearly only four years old, yet the way she considered many things and her attitude of studying hard were both far too mature. As for these things, Ike had always felt that there was actually no need for her to be like that.
Every stage of a child's life should be clearly divided. When it was ti to study, they should study. When it was ti to play, they should play. In the end, because of his eldest daughter, every child in the family had begun competing intensely.
Regarding this situation, Ike had no way to stop it.
Could he, as the father, say, "Stop studying and go play properly"?
Would that not be like a joke?
Precisely because of that!
With Jashin-chan's nonsense, everything seed to have beco different instead. It truly was a new year with a new atmosphere, and this was also the new atmosphere brought by Little Jashin-chan.
"Hehehe~~~"
Thinking of this, Ike chuckled and shook his head. Then, with large strides, he also left the room. Next, it was ti to handle so matters.
A new day.
A new beginning.
