Give Birth to Ten
Not long after, Kaido brought the three women to the palace of the Empire on Which the Sun Never Sets.
He immediately set them down and transformed back into his human form.
Naturally sensing Kaido's arrival, Ryōsuke appeared directly in the courtyard.
He looked at Kaido and the three women beside him. Weren't these his marriage alliance partners for this occasion?
Princess Vivi of the Alabasta Kingdom, Rebecca of Dressrosa, and Reiju of the Vinsmoke Family.
He had already conquered the other two alliance partners—the Pirate Empress of Amazon Lily and Princess Shirahoshi of Fish-Man Island.
Thanks to Ryōsuke's diligent efforts, both of them were already pregnant with his children.
Kaido walked over with a smile.
"My Lord, the task you assigned has been completed."
"Excellent."
Ryōsuke looked at the three women with a face full of smiles and introduced himself.
"I am the Emperor of the Empire on Which the Sun Never Sets, the man you are to marry."
The three were stunned. They hadn't expected the man before them to be so incredibly handsome and exude such profound masculinity. A wave of affection immediately welled up in their hearts.
*To think a man like this actually exists.*
Reiju felt that this marriage alliance was fantastic, far better than Sanji's previous arrangement.
Rebecca thought this man was even more charismatic than her own father.
Vivi's face lit up with joy. This was exactly the kind of man she wanted; she was thoroughly satisfied.
The three stepped forward to introduce themselves one by one.
"I am Reiju of the Vinsmoke Family."
"I am Vivi of the Alabasta Kingdom."
"I am Rebecca of the Dressrosa Kingdom."
Beaming with delight, Ryōsuke prepared to take them into his chambers to start making babies.
To him, marriage was merely a formality. The relationship was what truly mattered, and having children was the ultimate way to cement that bond.
At that moment, Kaido spoke up.
"My Lord, that old hag Linlin is finally willing to submit to you. She hopes you will release her."
Ryōsuke chuckled.
"She's finally willing to submit, is she?"
"Tell her to work diligently under me from now on. Otherwise, her next punishment won't be as simple as a mere sealing."
He then snapped his fingers.
In the distant sky, the black core inside the massive floating sphere vanished.
Immediately after, the giant sphere crumbled apart, crashing heavily to the ground with a thunderous explosion.
Given Big Mom's incredibly tough physique, she likely wouldn't suffer any fatal injuries.
At worst, she would sustain severe injuries, which served as an excellent lesson for her.
She needed to be beaten into submission.
Seeing this, Kaido felt a jolt of shock. His Lord's method of unsealing was rather ruthless. Plummeting at such a speed, Big Mom was bound to be heavily injured.
But what could he do? The two of them had a history together, perhaps even a romantic one in the past.
"My Lord, I'll go fetch Big Mom."
"Go on."
Ryōsuke waved his hand dismissively.
He then turned his attention back to his three marriage partners. Who should he have a child with first?
It was a bit of a dilemma. *Right, I'll just take them one day at a time.*
He stepped in front of Reiju and asked with a smile.
"Are you willing to bear my children?"
Reiju was taken aback. She hadn't expected this Lord to say something so incredibly blunt.
"Of course. If My Lord wishes, I have no problem bearing eight or even ten."
She was extremely satisfied with this Lord's handsome appearance and his robust, flawless physique.
She doubted she could find a better man anywhere on the seas.
Ryōsuke's face instantly lit up with a brilliant smile.
"Great, then you'll give birth to ten for me."
"Come with me."
"Vivi and Rebecca, feel free to stroll around and do as you please."
"You have free rein to explore the Empire on Which the Sun Never Sets."
Reiju suddenly panicked. *Did this Lord actually take me seriously?*
She was only joking! If she really gave birth to ten children, wouldn't she turn into a breeding sow?
However, this Lord gave her a very good feeling. Surely, he wouldn't actually treat her like livestock.
Reassured, she followed him inside. He was such a fine man, and she was curious to taste him for herself. She had heard that such activities were extremely pleasurable.
Outside, Vivi and Rebecca were left dumbfounded. They hadn't expected this Lord to act so swiftly.
That meant it would be their turn soon enough.
They had agreed to the marriage alliance, so naturally, they had mentally prepared themselves to become his wives.
But for this Lord to demand children right away left the two maidens, who had never been with a man, feeling rather flustered.
He even wanted ten of them!
Didn't that mean they would be walking around with swollen bellies for the next ten years?
That was truly a terrifying prospect.
Both of them were conflicted internally.
*This is simply too scary.*
Having witnessed this Lord's methods, they knew there was no escape. They could only obediently accept their fate.
Over the course of three days, Ryōsuke completed the baby-making process with all of them.
In his eyes, this was a far more meaningful step than any wedding ceremony.
From then on, all three women truly belonged to him.
Naturally, there was nothing more romantic than this.
He recalled how Rebecca and Vivi had actually pleaded with him, saying they didn't want to have as many as ten children and that five would be enough.
This left Ryōsuke not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He wasn't that cruel of a man.
He was always extremely generous to his women, so he naturally agreed.
Even when it came to having children, he didn't treat them as mere breeding tools. Children were simply the crystallization of their union.
He had long passed the stage where he needed to sire offspring to boost his own strength.
Even without having children, he was invincible. Now, he was purely enjoying the process.
Not long after, Stussy and Kalifa arrived at the Empire on Which the Sun Never Sets.
Ryōsuke was quite pleased. It seemed the World Government knew what was good for them.
Of course, Ryōsuke could easily guess that the World Government had likely sent the two women as spies to gather intelligence on him.
But he wasn't worried in the slightest. With absolute power, he could act without any reservations.
He immediately called Kalifa into his room and spoke directly.
"You must have heard the Five Elders' orders. From now on, you are my woman. You are no longer a part of CP0."
Kalifa nodded. Despite his words, she hadn't forgotten her true identity as a spy.
Her mission was to report this Lord's intelligence back to her superiors.
Ryōsuke didn't activate his abilities to pry into her inner thoughts.
Even if she truly was a spy, he wouldn't use genjutsu to alter her mind. There was simply no need.
The women he wanted to claim were those with their own free will. What use was a mindless puppet?
He still had a way to make her submit completely: by having Kalifa bear his child.
Then, she would truly belong to him.
Of course, for a trained agent, even having a child might not break her loyalty to the World Government. Was there no other way?
There certainly was. In the future, he was bound to destroy the World Government anyway.
Even if he didn't provoke them, they would eventually come after him.
Once he annihilated the World Government, she would naturally have no one left to be loyal to.
For now, it was time to happily enjoy himself for a while. It wouldn't be too late to deal with them later.
He looked at Kalifa with a smile.
"Are you willing to have my baby?"
"Ah!"
