One piece: The Greatest Swordsman of the Rocks Era!

If everyone in the world was measured against "genius," what would be the point of living?

Silver Axe figured as long as he could live happily every day, enjoying life with a woman in each arm at night, that was more than enough. After all, pirates should treasure every fleeting moment to indulge themselves.

If not now, what wait until he's rotting in a Marine prison, crossing swords with other prisoners?

To see whose back door was smoother?

If not for his own body's limits, he would have happily become one of Linlin's boy toys. Linlin's figure and looks were absolutely top-notch, except… she was just too much to handle!

He simply couldn't take it.

He wasn't built for that.

It wasn't enjoyment it was gambling with his life!

As for the pleasure-seeking, woman-chasing Silver Axe, Rocks could only let out a helpless laugh.

"She's given birth! She's given birth!!!"

A loud shout of surprise instantly drew everyone's attention. The one yelling was Streusen.

In Linlin's large hands, there were now three newborns, still slick with sticky blood, their cries loud and strong.

Triplets!!!

Each of these babies was two or three times larger than a normal human infant.

Streusen rushed over, overjoyed. "Triplets! Look at these little monsters they'll definitely become excellent pirates in the future!!"

Three at once he was absolutely thrilled.

It meant the Charlotte Family had just gained three more future powerhouses.

Linlin grinned, her lips crimson. "Mama… mama… Streusen, you name these three little ones."

She brought her enormous face closer to the blood-soaked babies in her arms, a maternal glow shimmering in her eyes. Her enchanting beauty, full of alluring charm, made the infants cry even louder.

Coupled with the deafening roars from Whitebeard and Ares's battle, the babies' wails filled the air without pause.

Streusen's eyes darted as he quickly came up with names. "Let's call them Nusstorte, Basskarte, and Dosmarche!"

And just like that, three more members were added to the Charlotte Family.

"Streusen, the kids are yours now," Linlin said casually, handing them over. Each baby was almost as big as Streusen himself.

Stacked like dumplings, the three infants were cradled awkwardly in Streusen's arms as he cheerfully sprinted away.

Linlin's gaze shifted to Ares's massive Azure Dragon form. Fury burned across her face.

"Ares accidentally ate the Devil Fruit I'd treasured all this time…"

"I've kept that fruit for so long, only for it to end up in his belly damn it!!"

That fruit was how she'd kept Kaido on a string for a whole month. To this day, Kaido was the most satisfactory 'husband' she'd ever had.

His stamina and physique far exceeded all the others.

But now, with that Devil Fruit's power, Ares had grown so strong that even she couldn't easily take him down. "How am I supposed to subdue him in the future?!"

Her anger and frustration tangled together.

The boost Ares gained from the fruit's power made Linlin crave his 'favor' even more.

Besides… doing it with a dragon?

Just imagining it sent an electrifying thrill down her spine!

A faint blush crept across Linlin's flawless face, and her thighs squeezed together unconsciously.

Not far away

Seeing that even Whitebeard couldn't finish Ares quickly, Rocks finally decided to step in.

He couldn't let these two keep fighting unchecked their destructive power would raze the entire Hive Island by the time they were done.

With a powerful push off the ground, Rocks dashed forward, gliding low like a bullet across the battlefield.

His figure was swift and graceful, his speed tearing through the air with a sharp sonic boom!

He shot toward Ares like a laser, his expression fierce and his voice thundering, "Ares, stand down!!"

In a single leap, he soared above Ares's massive dragon head, raising a fist clad in Armament Haki.

Boom!!!

The punch was fast and brutal, its raw, violent power blanking Ares's mind.

Engaged with Whitebeard, Ares didn't have time to react to Rocks's surprise attack!

His enormous dragon head smashed into the ground with a deafening crash, a huge lump swelling instantly as he passed out cold.

Rocks casually shook out his hand, dispersing the lingering force of the rebound. He smirked. "That defense of his really is something."

"Kura-ra-ra! If Captain hadn't stepped in, I probably would've needed a few more hours to beat Ares." Whitebeard laughed. Ares's vitality, stamina, and defense had skyrocketed.

If not for Rocks's sneak attack to the head, this battle wouldn't have ended so easily.

Unconscious, Ares automatically reverted from his Azure Dragon form back to his human body. Of course, his pants remained perfectly intact because, well, anime logic.

The essential parts? Never shown. That's premium content.

Captain John and Silver Axe quickly rushed over. John knelt by the unconscious Ares, pulling back his eyelids for a quick check. "He seems fine. Probably something going on in his brain, though we'll need proper equipment to examine him."

"Silver Axe, carry Ares to the med bay!" Rocks ordered without hesitation. Then he turned to John, his tone heavy. "John, fully examine Ares's condition. We must figure out how to treat his brain properly."

The Rocks Pirates already had Linlin a ticking time bomb prone to rampages. They couldn't afford to have another like her.

If Ares and Linlin both went berserk during a major battle, with their indiscriminate attacks, it would be a disaster.

John understood the gravity of the situation and nodded firmly. "Don't worry, Captain. I'll do everything I can to help Ares."

Silver Axe had already slung Ares over his back and followed John out of the battlefield.

Whitebeard watched them leave, silently praying for Ares's recovery. "Let's hope Ares's mental condition stabilizes. If this keeps up, he might go berserk every time he's triggered."

"If it worsens…"

"The consequences could be catastrophic."

Rocks sighed. "With John's medical skills, there's still a good chance."

Then he turned to Linlin, his expression hardening. His eyes burned with authority as he stared her down. His tone turned cold. "Linlin, explain what happened. Start from the beginning."

Whitebeard also shot her a sharp, blade-like glare.

Linlin's face was twisted with frustration and grievance as she snapped, "I didn't do anything to that brat Ares! He ate the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit I'd been treasuring all this time!!!"

"Where am I supposed to take my grievance?!!!"
