Julian sent Marlena home, where Laki and Denise came out to greet them, both asking, "How is Marlena? What did she have?" Julian smiled. "She was exhausted and fell asleep. It's a boy, named Kate Nock." Laki looked concerned. "Sister Marlena really had it hard. How is little Nock?" Julian replied solemnly, "You two should be due soon too, right?" Denise thought about it. "Very soon, probably within the next couple of days." Laki nodded. "I feel about the same. The baby in my belly is very active too. It kicks me every night." Julian smiled. "You've both worked so hard."
Alice and Beatrice entered the house. Alice was carrying Nock, while Beatrice held Noah and Numin. Beatrice said with a smile, "Nock and Noah look so alike!" Julian thought for a moment and said, "I hope they all grow up healthy and happy. When the time comes, I'll teach them how to cultivate. They'll definitely be a hundred times stronger than the remnants of the Kozuki Family." Alice complained, "Could you stop putting 'healthy and happy' together with cultivation? They're still so young, and you're already shouting about teaching them to cultivate!" Julian said seriously, "I hope they all become exceptional people, at the very least the kind who can knock old Saturn out with one punch. I've already prepared the appropriate Devil Fruits."
Alice's face darkened. "Can you act normal? Don't say things like 'remnants' and 'old idiot' in front of children." Julian smiled. "Alice, how much did Noah weigh at birth?" Alice blurted out, "Eleven jin and eight liang." Julian said, "That is pretty big, over ten jin." Alice looked at him in disdain. "Is there anything else you want to say?" Julian continued, "Let's throw them a birthday banquet..." Alice said, "You arrange it."
