Robin paused for a moment, then continued speaking:
"Unlike you, I had no father since childhood, and my mother was never by my side. It was my uncle's family who raised me. They weren't kind, but at least they brought me up.
Because I accidentally ate a Devil Fruit, the village children rejected and shunned me.
At that time, the only thing that gave me a little joy was going to the Tree of Knowledge, reading books, and listening to the scholars' stories.
But even that simple life I clung to was completely destroyed when I was eight years old—by the World Government, in the incident that wiped out Ohara's scholars.
My uncle's family who hated me, the scholars who cared for me, even my mother, whom I only caught a fleeting glimpse of without exchanging a single word... since then, I never saw any of them again."
Robin turned toward Hina, whose eyes were distant, deliberately avoiding her gaze. Robin placed her hand on her shoulder and smiled gently:
"That's why, when I learned I was pregnant with a child, I felt nothing but joy. This little being, not yet born, is my family. I will raise him well and watch him grow day by day. What I was deprived of in childhood, he will have.
A father who may be lustful, but who keeps his children in his heart.
And a mother who isn't perfect, but will always remain by his side.
On top of that, younger siblings who will play with him and fill his world with joy.
A child like that, when he grows up, will surely be very happy."
Hina looked at Robin and saw in her face a bright hope for a better future. She wanted to say something, but not a word came out.
Amid her confusion and tangled emotions, Robin released her shoulder, nodded in encouragement, and playfully winked:
"So, Hina... hurry and have a child. If my baby has siblings, he won't feel lonely."
Hina blushed red, shouting in anger:
"You sly woman! After all that roundabout talk, this was your true goal from the start?! Give me back the emotions I wasted on you!!!"
Robin laughed and apologized:
"Ha-ha, sorry... But since I've been watching you all for a while, and none of you showed any signs of pregnancy, I couldn't hold myself back and spoke my mind."
"Don't laugh! Apologize to Hina right now!"
Hina stormed out of the bath, wrapped in a towel, angry, while Robin followed behind apologizing, trying to coax her with words:
"Really, you won't consider it? If you gave birth, your child would definitely be beautiful."
Hina replied irritably:
"Enough! Do you think pregnancy happens just by wishing? It depends on luck!"
"Not necessarily. There are some methods that help. Here, take this book and read it."
Hina looked at the book Robin placed before her. She intended to push it away, but strangely, her hand reached out, hesitated, then took it.
Robin clapped happily:
"I knew it! Outwardly you refuse, but inside you have the same desire. That's wonderful! If you work hard now, your child might only be two months younger than mine."
Hina muttered while flipping through the book:
"Don't talk as if it's already decided... I'm not sure it will work."
Her eyes lingered on the pages that spoke of women's knowledge after marriage, until she came across a section on pregnancy. She began reading intently.
Robin sat beside her, leaning close to her ear, whispering advice and experiences.
Moments later, Hina's ears flushed red, her eyes wide with shock at the new information:
"What?! It can be done like that too? Are you sure that position increases the chances of pregnancy?"
Robin smiled: "Yes, yes, believe me. You won't go wrong following my advice."
Hina hesitated: "Then... I'll try tomorrow..."
And so the night passed with whispers and quiet laughter.
When silence finally fell in the nearby room, the two of them returned to their beds and drifted off to sleep.
In her dream, Hina saw a little girl with pink hair, resembling her own younger self, running toward her with a bright smile and open arms. The sight was so lovely that sleeping Hina smiled innocently.
But the shock came the next morning.
When she woke up a bit late, she heard cheers and congratulations from the infirmary.
She rushed to see what happened, and the news spread like thunder:
Mikita... was pregnant!
She stood proudly in the middle of the group, hands on her hips, a wide smile on her face. The moment she spotted Hina, she raised two fingers in a victory sign and announced:
"Tada~ That's right! I'm also pregnant with Peter's child!
And that's perfectly natural, isn't it? I was the second woman to join Peter. Isn't it only logical that I'd be the second to bear his child?"
Vivi and Carina, who had just been congratulating her, froze, holding their heads in alarm:
"Wait, if that's the order... does that mean it's my turn next?! No! I'm still just a kid, I'm not ready to be a mother yet!"
Carina also cried out:
"Me too! I'm way too young, I'm absolutely not ready for pregnancy or childbirth!"
Robin stepped forward with a gentle smile, holding Mikita's hands warmly, then softly reassured the two girls:
"Don't worry, Peter won't rush things with you. He'll give you time to prepare yourselves.
But..."
Her eyes shifted toward Hina, who was standing stunned and speechless at the door.
"If we're following the order... then most likely, the next turn will be yours, Hina-chan~"
Hina's heart pounded wildly. She couldn't believe what she had only thought about yesterday had now come true with Mikita, and now everyone expected her to be next!
Flustered, she muttered:
"What should I do? I'm not ready for this at all..."
Mikita, brimming with joy, reassured her:
"Don't worry. These things don't need much preparation. They happen naturally."
Then she and Robin each took one of Hina's hands and pulled her back into the room to talk more about "experiences and methods."
Even Nojiko decided to join them shortly after.
That left only Kaya, Nami, Vivi, and Carina in the infirmary.
Silence fell for a moment, until Nami smiled nervously:
"I think this has nothing to do with us... Let's just pretend we didn't hear anything."
"Yes, yes." ×3
"So, shall we split up?"
"Alright, alright." ×3
The four girls left the infirmary in perfect sync, separating as if nothing had happened.
As for Nojiko, who had secretly followed them... she was officially expelled from the "Beautiful Girls Alliance."
Meanwhile, Peter was still sound asleep, until a mechanical voice suddenly woke him:
[Alert! Mikita has been detected carrying a fetus with Saiyan blood.]
[Reward being issued...]
[Reward: The host's power multiplies tenfold.]
[Alert! This is the host's second child. Issuing additional reward...]
[Reward: The host inherits the full combat power of his children, merged into his own.]
[All rewards issued. We urge the host to continue working hard.]
"...What the?"
Peter opened his eyes halfway, fumbling for something soft beside him as if going back to sleep... but suddenly, his eyes widened and he bolted upright.
"What the hell! Another reward?! Who is it this time?!"
Thankfully, the system left a record of the messages. After reviewing them, he roughly understood what happened.
"Mikita... I never expected her to surprise me like this."
Excitement filled his chest. He got up quietly, careful not to make noise, grabbed his clothes, and went into the bathroom.
The sound of water gushed: shhh~ splatter~
As cold water poured over his head, clearing his mind, he opened his personal interface:
Host: Peter
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Height: 198 cm
Bloodline: Royal Saiyan Blood
Skills: Satellite, Advanced Ki Control, Dragon Ball Creation, Potential Unleashing
Combat Power: 12080 (1208 × 10)
Main Mission: Spread Saiyan blood in this world. Any act contributing to this earns appropriate rewards.
Peter froze at the combat power number, now over ten thousand.
"Seriously... In the One Piece world, you give me this kind of monstrous strength? Do you plan for me to blow up this damn planet?!"
He felt energy within him so overwhelming, he feared a flick of his finger might obliterate the island beneath his feet.
"Damn... just a few hundred is enough to dominate the seas here. What am I supposed to do with numbers this insane?!"
He grew anxious, questioning the system:
"System, are you sure I'm still in the One Piece world? Don't mess with me and throw me somewhere else."
[... Confirmed: The host is currently in the One Piece world.]
Finally, the system responded, easing his mind... but then added:
[The host is in the One Piece world, or rather, on Planet of Pirates. As for what lies beyond this planet... the host must discover it himself.]
".... Damn you, you shitty system! You son of a—"
Peter had read enough novels before crossing over to instantly understand: beyond this planet lurked even greater enemies.
"Could it be... Ultraman? Or the Marvel and DC universes? Don't tell me... Warhammer?! Ha-ha..."
But the system fell silent again.
"Then... Shenron, can you hear me? Answer me, Dragon!"
... heavy snoring
"Damn it... useless."
Shenron had been forced into a previous summoning and had yet to recover his strength, so he slept deeply.
Peter had no choice but to set aside his search for now, reassuring himself:
"What's there to fear? Just having a child gives me ten times more power. After they're born, I gain their combat strength too. With such outrageous cheats, unless some final boss suddenly appears... I'll remain invincible."
Regaining his confidence, he stepped out of the bathroom after drying himself.
When he opened the door, he found Mikita in the room explaining her experience to Hina and Nojiko. The moment she saw him, she leapt into his arms excitedly.
"Peter! I have wonderful news!"
He smiled kindly, though he already knew: "Tell me."
She took his hand and placed it on her belly. Her eyes sparkled with happiness:
"I did it... I'm pregnant with your child."
"Really?! That's amazing!"
Peter embraced her, spinning her around, showering her with affection. She couldn't stop smiling, making Hina and Nojiko clench their fists with determination to try again.
Mikita nestled in his lap, resting her head on his shoulder:
"Such a pity... I had just begun my real training, but now with pregnancy... my level will surely drop a lot."
Peter chuckled: "Don't worry, you can make up for it later. After giving birth, you'll learn alongside the child from the start."
Mikita's heart overflowed with joy, hugging him tighter.
At that moment, Robin, who had been quietly observing, spoke curiously:
"Training? Have you actually thought about how to raise this child? And how do Saiyans usually train their offspring?"
"...Well..."
Peter lifted his eyes to the ceiling, hesitating, then glanced at Robin and her still-flat belly, thought about Mikita, and recalled the fragments the system had hinted at before. He felt it was time to reveal some truths.
Of course, not about the system, only about the Saiyan bloodline and the way rewards merged into it, to avoid arousing suspicion.
