Chapter 78 The Katakuri Triplets' March on the Grand Line
Chapter 78 The Katakuri Triplets' March on the Grand Line
Under the influence of Kaido's two decrees, the entire Land of Dragons began to operate around the clock.
Yubel was busy all day long, complaining that his emperor didn't treat him like a human being at all.
Fortunately, as elites from all over the West Blue gathered in the Dragon Kingdom, Kaido personally interviewed them and selected the truly talented individuals, Yubel's pressure gradually eased.
Finally, after successfully weathering the most difficult five months, the situation stabilized again.
Kaido no longer needs to personally intervene, and Yubel is now able to handle various tasks independently.
It was at this time that Charlotte Linlin, who had been pregnant for 15 months, was finally about to give birth.
February 25, 1485 (Haiyuan Calendar).
After a long wait of more than ten hours, the baby's cry finally rang out in the delivery room.
And it sounds like a trio.
This made everyone in the Beasts Pirates excited.
After the female doctor officially informed us that we could enter the room.
Kaido then tiptoed into the room, just as he had done when Selene gave birth to Irene.
Charlotte Linlin lay in bed, looking much better than the weak Selene had been, and didn't look like a woman who had just given birth to three children.
However, she still followed the doctor's advice and lay quietly in bed.
Kaido approached and said softly with a look of pity, "You've worked hard, Linlin."
Charlotte Linlin smiled and shook her head, "It wasn't hard work. Come and see, I've given birth to three sons for you!"
Kaido then cautiously lowered his head to examine the area.
"What is their order of size, and which is which?"
"The one closest to my pillow is the eldest, the one below him is the second, and the one at the very bottom is the third."
Three swaddled babies, each over a meter long, and three cradles were arranged in a line in the shape of the number "1," parallel to each other beside Charlotte Linlin's bed.
The doctor thoughtfully hung number 123 on the guardrail of the cradle.
"Has the name been decided?" Kaido asked softly.
"Not yet, I'm waiting for you."
Kaido reached out and gently stroked Charlotte Linlin's cheek.
“You are the mother, so you decide. Selene also chose Eileen’s name.”
Upon hearing this, Charlotte Linlin pondered for a moment.
"Let's call the eldest brother Katakuri, the second brother Owen, and the third brother Cracker."
"Like Eileen, you won't inherit my surname. You can add it to theirs after you give yourself a surname in the future."
Kaido bent down and gently kissed Charlotte Linlin on the forehead.
"You've worked hard, get some rest."
As Kaido straightened up, the triplets' talents began to appear on the system interface in front of him.

Of the three brothers, Katakuri perfectly inherited the talents of Kaido and Charlotte Linlin, while Oven and Cracker were slightly inferior.
Fortunately, there's a system to guarantee a minimum return.
Although their potential has been lowered by one level, they still have a high probability of growing to the level of the Four Emperors in the future.
………………
The birth of the Katakuri brothers further solidified Kaido's power and his standing among his subordinates.
The cohesion of the entire Dragon Kingdom has been further enhanced.
To prevent the premature deaths of newborns, Kaido no longer participates in expeditions.
He began to act like a true king, guarding the capital of the country, handling state affairs during the day and enjoying family time with his wife and children at night.
Two and a half years have passed in the blink of an eye.
The date arrived at June 1st, 1488 in the Haiyuan calendar.
After two and a half years of development, the Dragon Kingdom has expanded like an inflating balloon, transforming from an ordinary, unremarkable kingdom in the West Sea into a top-tier kingdom in the West Sea.
The national population has grown rapidly from 300 million to 500 million!
Although many of the new additions are newborns, and after excluding the elderly, the country's true young and middle-aged population is only about 300 million, but the future is promising!
The national standing army is 10!
Furthermore, with the amplification of Kaido's [Royal Chariot] aura, the combat power of these 10 standing troops is in no way inferior to that of 10 Marine branch soldiers, and may even be slightly stronger!
In addition, the total number of members in the Beasts Pirates quickly swelled to 5000!
Under Kaido's training, the combat power of these 5000 men is in no way inferior to that of the Marine Headquarters soldiers.
In terms of economy and food.
The Dragon Kingdom is now completely self-sufficient in food, and even has a large surplus, which it can export.
However, under Kaido's orders, granaries were built throughout the country.
Besides what we eat ourselves and what we give to merchant ships, we store the rest.
Kaido's goal is to stockpile enough food to feed the entire nation for at least three years!
We'll consider the issue of national grain exports later.
In terms of economics, the special weight loss drug developed by Asie, priced at 100 million per pill, is highly praised among the nobles of the West Sea, especially among the noble ladies!
Every month, just selling this little pill generates at least 100 billion in sales!
Driven by it, the Dragon Kingdom's existing shipbuilding and tourism industries have also seen a surge in revenue.
In total, the net profit each month alone is over 250 billion! (Net income excluding costs)
Of course, government spending is also substantial.
Just supporting 10 Kingdom soldiers and 5000 pirates from the Beast Pirates every month would cost more than 150 billion in revenue.
The remaining money is then divided equally among public expenditures across the country, and basically only a few billion yuan actually enters the national treasury each month.
But that's enough.
The development of the Dragon Kingdom has been completely stabilized.
Despite the constant efforts of Senman and Emru to eliminate pirates in the West Blue, they still emerge in large numbers, but they generally don't cause much of a stir.
Kaido can finally free up his hands and officially set off for the Grand Line.
Batam, no, it's now called Dragon City.
About a year ago, after the new royal palace was completed, the three major cities of the Dragon Kingdom were renamed.
The capital city has been renamed Dragon King City!
Batam City was renamed Dragon Rising City!
Hilo City has been renamed Dragon Cloud City!
The newly built palace was also renamed the Dragon King Palace!
Longxingcheng Port.
Charlotte Linlin is holding the hands of the three brothers, Katakuri, Owen, and Cracker.
Selene was holding the hand of her eldest daughter, Eileen.
Emru gently stroked her lower abdomen.
Behind him followed Senman, Yubel, Asie, and several other powerful subordinates recruited over the past two and a half years.
Everyone waved goodbye to Kaido.
Emru shouted, "You absolutely have to come back when I give birth!"
"Don't worry! I can contact you anytime via Den Den Mushi!!"
With sails unfurled and the mighty Beast Fleet set sail, it officially embarked on its journey along the Grand Line.
