Chapter 86: Becoming a Father

The gravity was six times greater than normal. While Li Yuan could bear it with his physique, his internal organs felt somewhat uncomfortable, as they had never been trained to withstand such pressure. 

"Is this the center of the island? Fifteen times the gravity!" 

Upon reaching the island's center, Li Yuan began using his Life Restoration technique to keep his internal organs stable, allowing him to move without suffering internal injuries. 

"This gravitational force seems to come from that large rock!" 

Li Yuan observed a black stone in front of him that resembled a small mountain. The magnetic field around it was chaotic yet maintained a degree of stability, causing the island's gravity to fluctuate.

"If I get the chance, I should either move this rock or relocate this entire island."

"For now, I'll train here for a while." 

Li Yuan pondered.

The density of the rocks here was significantly higher than that of the outside world. He decided to carve down a small mountain into a manageable size for his training.

"Whoa, this is heavy!!" 

However, Li Yuan overestimated himself.

Even a small mountain made of high-density rock, combined with the fifteen-fold gravity, was too much for him to lift.

With no other options, he resorted to cutting the mountain down to a third of its original size and keeping the remaining two-thirds intact.

When he tried again, he managed to lift the one-third section.

Even then, it took all his strength to do so.

Now, squatting and rising while holding the third of the mountain placed significant pressure on him.

Yet, under this pressure, his Haki training efficiency improved tremendously, and he could feel his physique enhancing at an accelerated rate.

Thus, he spent his days training in the center of the island, returning to the ship only for meals or sleep.

Karu, Kano, Barrett, and Nepal were also arranged by Li Yuan to enter the island for basic training using the gravitational force.

The effects of training under gravity for the first time were incredibly noticeable.

Just a month passed, and Li Yuan felt considerable progress in both his physique and Haki.

However, today was a special day. Instead of training on the island, he was on the ship, anxiously watching the cabin.

"Master Brother, you don't need to be so tense; Sister Xiaqi and Lazili will be fine." 

Kano said, noticing Li Yuan's apparent anxiety.

It was the first time he had seen his Master Brother this nervous. Even when they first joined the Rocks Pirates, he hadn't been this anxious.

Yes, Li Yuan was indeed nervous because today, both Xiaqi and Lazili were about to give birth simultaneously. It meant he was about to become a father!

Having lived two lives, this was the first time he would take on such a role—how could he not be anxious?

"Wah!!!!"

"Wah!!!!"

"Wah!!!!"

"Wah!!!!"

Inside the cabin, the cries of newborns echoed.

Hearing this, Li Yuan rushed into the cabin and saw Lazili and Xiaqi, pale but cradling their babies, their maternal glow evident.

"You've both worked hard!" 

Li Yuan grasped their hands.

"It wasn't too difficult; we'll be fine after a few days of rest." 

Both Xiaqi and Lazili felt incredibly happy to have Li Yuan's children.

Their physical conditions were strong, so while typical individuals needed ten months to carry a child, they would only require a few days to recover.

"Which of these little ones is the older brother and which is the sister?" 

Li Yuan chuckled, looking at the two babies in each of their arms.

Both Lazili and Xiaqi had given birth to twins—one boy and one girl—and they had done so almost simultaneously, a medical miracle.

"These two little ones are the brother and sister, named after you: Andrei Gaine and Andrei Esthes." 

"Gaine was born a little later, so Esthes is the older sister." 

Lazili smiled at Xiaqi.

Having met Li Yuan first, Lazili had felt a bit jealous when Xiaqi later joined the family. Now, she felt a sense of satisfaction as she had "gotten her revenge." Even though she was the later addition, she had given birth first.

Li Yuan's full name was Andrei Li Yuan, though he rarely used his surname, so not many knew it.

"Wah!!!!"

"Wah!!!!"

Looking at the two newborns who hadn't stopped crying since their birth, Li Yuan felt a surge of affection. After all, these were his children!

"Li Yuan, you've used up the names you prepared; you'll need to come up with two more." 

Xiaqi said with a smile, not overly concerned with the sibling rivalry.

"Naming is simple. The next two will be called Andrei Wei Zhuang!" 

"And for the little girl, since she has bright red eyes, a sign of strong bloodline, let's call her Andrei Chi Tong." 

Li Yuan had already prepared several names for his children and could use them at any time.

"Wei Zhuang and Chi Tong are both lovely names." 

"Little ones, did you hear that? These will be your names from now on!" 

Xiaqi delightedly teased the two babies.

After spending some time with Lazili and Xiaqi, Li Yuan stepped out of the cabin.

"How are the two sisters doing?" 

Yadina rushed to ask as soon as she saw Li Yuan emerge.

"Both mother and children are safe; there were no issues. You should go learn from them; your time will come soon enough." 

Li Yuan gently rubbed Yadina's belly.

After all this time, Yadina had finally become pregnant with Li Yuan's child.

"Yes, I understand." 

Yadina nodded.

In the days that followed, Li Yuan reduced his training time and spent more time with his newly born children while continuing to train on Gravity Island.

Now, it had been a year since Li Yuan set out to sea, and the date had turned to the year 1482 of the Ocean Garden calendar.

During Li Yuan's time away from the Rocks Pirates, the crew had rapidly expanded.

They had amassed over a hundred subordinate pirate crews, and each cadre's fleet continued to grow.

John's fleet was particularly impressive, reaching five thousand members, followed by Shiki's fleet with over three thousand.

During this time, the Rocks Pirates also annihilated three countries aligned with the World Government, further boosting their reputation.

As a result, many kingdoms in the New World were willing to submit to Rocks, flying the flag of the Rocks Pirates.

The Navy's strongholds in the New World had dwindled to just eight!

In other words, the Rocks Pirates had established their dominance in the New World.

This not only demonstrated the unparalleled might of the Rocks Pirates but also indicated that Rocks was losing patience.
