[One Piece] Hurting Men Is Something I Do Without a Second Thought

Rouge said, "Diana, you can't imagine how much I love him. Maybe this is the foolishness you mentioned. I've been filled with stupidity."

After saying this, she looked tenderly at the girl she'd taken in, then lowered her head again and gently stroked her belly.

"And now, I love everything he loves."

Her only listener thought that being love-struck was a hopeless condition.

But later events made Diana realize that Rouge wasn't as simple as she seemed.

Oh, my.

She was delighted.

After all, what was the point of being love-struck? This world was rotten to the core. Love him? Hell no. Why love a bowl of summer dessert?

But Rouge had a child! She named him Ace!

"Oh, Ace."

Diana stared blankly at the baby in his swaddling clothes. Rouge needed to recover properly, and she could have a nanny take care of the baby. Diana definitely wasn't going to hold him.

Damn it! Of course having a child meant thinking about his education! Where in this shitty world full of men was a child supposed to grow up?

Ohhh, Totto Land!

Diana thought Totto Land seemed nice. It had a strong feminine atmosphere, and as for that weird rent, a few punches to the landlord's head would soon get things sorted out.

Rouge thought it was a lovely place too.

More than ten years later, Portgas D. Ace would grow into a handsome young man and call Perospero "Big Brother!" with shining eyes, then call Katakuri "Second Brother!" with even greater admiration. His overflowing, straightforward affection often left the Charlotte siblings stiff with discomfort.

But they could only stiffly accept the Fire Fist, who was utterly incompatible with Whole Cake Island.

Because Mama liked Rouge so much.

As for Diana, that mad dog who stayed by Rouge's side: whether she liked or accepted anyone wasn't even the question. Diana would make the heads of anyone she thought was giving her a hostile look go bonk, bonk. She alone decided what counted as hostile. After all, hurting men came naturally to her.

She even beat up Ace.

During Portgas D. Ace's brief rebellious phase, he once asked the heavens what kind of person his father was. He hadn't even found anyone specific to ask when Diana happened to overhear him and gave a cold laugh, then made his head go bonk, bonk. Just like that, his rebellious phase was over.

Afterward, Ace couldn't understand why he'd been so hung up on the question.

After all, in Totto Land, nobody cared who their father was.

So all he needed to know was that his mother was Rouge.

[Warnings]

1. I will immediately support Portgas D. Rouge becoming empress. Who's with me, and who opposes me?

2. The female lead has a foul mouth and no heart. Fans of pure romance are in trouble: the pure romance content in this book is actually zero!

3. I've been annoyed for ages that One Piece doesn't pay enough attention to the maternal line! That's my personal issue, though. One Piece isn't a manga made just for me, so at most I grumble about it to friends in private. I won't go argue about it online. But with Rouge, are they really bullying someone who can't speak for herself? There may be a twist later, but I'll never forget how sick I felt after learning the new information.

4. Ace will still become brothers with Luffy and Sabo. That's fate.
