"Waaah... Waaah..."
Less than two months ter—
On the floating fortress, Atntis—
With loud cries eg throughout following Gerd's birth of their twelfth child, daughter He,
Charlotte Linlin weled three more members into the Kukulkan family.
"Fp, fp..."
Two boys and one girl—
Three little ones were flying around, causing absolute chaos.
Thanks to Lineage Faodifications, although they didn't quite match up to Ares or the twins Athena and Hyde,
They were still remarkably impressive.
Born with a formidable exoskeleton, their physical strength was astonishing.
Not only could they gee electricity, but they could also breathe fire and even turn invisible like a chameleon...
Their capabilities were on par with He—utterly extraordinary.
The whole pce was in an uproar.
"Mamamama~ Thanks to the Lineage Faodifications, these kids are incredible!"
Linlin, still flushed with energy and beaming with happiness despite just having given birth,
Effortlessly held all three squirming little ones in her arms.
"Mama, why my brothers and sister turn invisible?"
Little Ares ran up, tilting his head to look at Charlotte Linlin with curiosity.
"Is it a Devil Fruit ability?"
"Mamamama~ No, it's the result of Lineage Faodifications—like a chameleon's ability!"
Linlin expined with a smile.
"When you were born, this teology did yet. But you’re already strong enough—o be envious!"
"Oh, I see!"
Little Ares nodded in uanding.
"Mama, whie of them is the oldest?"
Hyde scratched his head, eyeing the three simir-looking little ones.
"Hestia is the oldest—she's the thirteenth in the family."
"The sed is Apollo, ranking fourteenth, and the you is Hephaestus, who’s fifteenth."
Linlin beamed as she introduced the new siblings to the family.
"El, the family just keeps growing!"
Gerd looked over at El, smiling warmly.
"Osuru, Sally, Helen, Lillian, and the ive birth, our new geion will already exceed twenty members!"
"And that doesn’t even t Nef, Stussy, Thesis, and the others who are still iure!"
"Are you satisfied now?"
She shot him a pyful gre.
El folded his arms, smilily.
"Not quite—I pn for the sed geion to have at least a hundred children!"
"Then, the task of expanding and strengthening the Lunarian race will rest on these little ones."
This was his ultimate vision.
The ideal sario was to have over a hundred offspring.
Ohey all grew up, the Lunarian race would finally begin to spread and flourish once more.
With just a few meions, the onearly extinct Lunarians could secure their resurgend eheir long-term survival.
Furthermore, the research team tio advance Lineage Factor teology, ensuring that Lunariaics would not dilute over time.
This would guarahat their racial abilities would never weaken, no matter how many geions passed.
"Over a hundred children... you're truly greedy, aren't you?"
Gerd looked at El, her mouth twitg in disbelief.
"Which is why you o keep w hard, Gerd!"
El smirked, pulling her into an embrace.
"No way! I'm not having any more!"
Gerd immediately waved her hands, firmly rejeg the idea.
"Go ask Linlin! She’d be the happiest to keep having kids!"
She felt that their current number of children was more than enough.
She wasn't ied in turning into a breeding mae, giving birth to ten or more like some farm animal.
Besides, Thor and Sif were already exceptional—
And she believed their you daughter, He, would be just as outstanding.
As a mother, she was already pletely satisfied.
"Of course. If you don’t want to, that’s fine."
El smiled gently.
He had no iion of f her.
Nor would he ever Gerd or distance himself from her just because of this.
"Pfft~ El-sama..."
Beside them, the graceful dancer, Baka, who was heavily pregnant, giggled.
"If Rena and Luna heard your pns, they’d probably be so happy they’d start dang on the spot!"
Rena and Luna were a pair of sisters whom the Fallen Angel Pirates had rescued from a sve au years ago.
Both had been gifted different types of Cat-Cat Devil Fruits by El…
And over the years, through releraining,
They had gained notable fame in the New World, being known as the "Cat Sisters."
Their names were now listed among the Seventy-Two Pilrs.
However, with both Baka and Sally nnant, the Cat Sisters had been reassigo the Intelligence Division, handling espionage instead of front-litles.
But when it came to El, the Cat Sisters’ admiration was boundless—
They had rejected tless suitors over the years.
And El?
He hadn’t turhem dowher—
Otherwise, he wouldn't have given them Devil Fruits in the first pce.
However, they had yet to ceive—
So they were extremely envious of Baka.
"Is that so?"
Hearing this, El chuckled, showing no particur rea.
"And not just them..."
Sally pyfully winked, smiling slyly.
"There's also a certai and i little mermaid who's been waiting impatiently for the day her tail turns into legs!"
Years ago, when they rescued sves from the Sabaody Archipego’s au house,
There was a na?ve mermaid girl named Ily who had refused to return to Fish-Man Isnd.
Instead, she had insisted on joining the Fallen Angel Pirates.
Eventually, El granted her the Paramecia-type Bubble-Bubble Fruit,
And she had been utterly devoted to him ever since.
"Ily, huh?"
Thinking of that cheerful, airheaded mermaid, El smirked.
"That girl is a real handful."
Despite her i, silly, and clueless nature—
She had incredibly bold ambitions.
She had been glued to him for years, stantly dreaming of having his children.
Though El had sampled the charm of a mermaid,
Their retionship couldn’t progress further—
At least, not until she turhirty aail transformed into legs.
"I heard she carries a trace of royal blood—her grandmother was once a princess u Kingdom."
Sally grinned mischievously.
"They say that every 800 years, Ryugu Kingdom gives birth to a mermaid princess with the ability to unicate with Sea Kings..."
"Who knows, El-sama—if you and Ily had a child, maybe your offspring would be born with that legendary ability!"
"That would make them Poseidon, the Sea King… But that’s highly unlikely."
El narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
If he and Ily ever had a child…
It probably wouldn’t be born as a mermaid, right?
