After making a full round—
Edward Ike and Edward Newgate found nothing on Cake Island except naturally bred wild animals.
No humans at all.
From this moment on—
Cake Island.
The Totto Land Sea.
Whatever its past—
From now on, it bore one name:
Edward.
"Gurararara~~~"
"This is perfect!"
"Absolutely perfect!"
Newgate laughed loudly, his entire body radiating excitement. After circling the island, the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.
"Big brother." Ike chuckled. "Enough admiring. I'll arrange for everyone to land. You take some men and patrol the other thirty-four islands."
"No problem!"
Newgate gave a thumbs-up and immediately set off.
Meanwhile—
Ike's concubines, maids, medical staff, and various recruited personnel all disembarked.
"So beautiful!"
"An island made entirely of cake!"
"I've never seen anything like this!"
The women chattered endlessly, like a flock of excited birds.
Ike walked over to Selina and said gently, "You did well."
"Master." Selina replied softly, "I only did what I should."
Ike nodded.
In such a short time—
She had transformed from a delicate princess into a composed and capable woman.
"Master," she asked quietly, "we're settling here now, aren't we?"
"Yes."
Ike nodded again. "From today onward, the Totto Land Sea belongs to the Edward Family. We'll stabilize everything here first, then begin developing all the islands."
"Hmm…"
He rubbed his chin and muttered, "This is going to cost a lot…"
Selina simply smiled.
Money?
That wasn't an issue.
For the Whitebeard crew—
Money was the easiest thing to obtain.
Find a wealthy nation—
Take a few hundred million.
Make a few rounds—
Billions would pile up.
And if subordinates complained?
That was simple.
Newgate now—
Was nothing like his original self.
Meanwhile—
Ike began organizing settlement zones.
On the other side—
Newgate led his men to patrol the entire Totto Land Sea.
This sea—
Was truly unique.
At its core was Cake Island—
A land made entirely of layered cakes and cream.
But more astonishing—
There was no seawater.
Every visible "sea"—
Was actually beverages.
Drinks.
The entire Totto Land Sea—
Was a vast ocean of liquids other than water.
As for the remaining 34 islands—
Each one was made from food-related materials:
Candy Island, Wheat Island, Bean Island, Butter Island, Cream Island, Biscuit Island, Wine Island, Tea Island, Ice Cream Island, Pie Island, Milk Island, Ingredient Island, Spice Island, Jam Island, Potato Island, Jelly Island, Seed Island, Utensil Island, Fruit Island, Cheese Island, Nut Island, Bread Island, Egg White Island, Egg Yolk Island, Yeast Island, Honey Island, Meat Island, Daifuku Island, Rice Island, Crisp Shell Island, Juice Island, Egg Island, Oil Island.
At first glance—
It seemed different from what Ike remembered.
But in truth—
This was the original form.
In the future—
These islands would be reshaped and renamed by Charlotte Linlin.
Right now—
This was their natural state.
Honestly—
Calling it the Totto Land Sea felt inaccurate.
It was more like…
A giant kitchen.
Ike couldn't help but marvel.
If he didn't know he was in the pirate world—
He might've thought he'd arrived in a world of gourmet fantasy.
"Really unbelievable…" he murmured.
As night fell—
Temporary shelters had already been set up.
"IIIIKE!!!"
A booming voice echoed across the island.
Newgate stood at the bow of the returning ship, shouting loudly.
Ike stood up and asked, "How was it?"
"Gurararara~~~"
"No problems at all!"
Newgate grinned widely, giving a thumbs-up. "All thirty-four islands have been checked. No humans anywhere. From now on—this is our home!"
"Yeah…"
Ike nodded.
Of course—
A full detailed inspection would take time.
But Newgate's Observation Haki was powerful enough.
Once he reached an island—
He could scan it entirely.
Animals were filtered out.
Humans would stand out instantly.
Still—
In the future, they would conduct a more thorough search.
After all—
If someone strong managed to evade detection…
That could become a hidden danger.
But for now—
Everything was perfect.
The Edward Family—
Finally had a home.
