Chapter 142: Devil Fruit’s second awakening. Stussy’s full surender. (R-18)
After stepping out of the villa, Lakeman was greeted by the sight of Lily and Robin training in the sunlit courtyard.
The air was fresh, the morning breeze carrying the soft sounds of their movements—grunts, sharp exhales, and the rhythmic swish of limbs slicing the air.
Robin was drenched in sweat, her curves glistening in the sunlight as she moved gracefully, each motion elegant yet filled with quiet power.
Lily's tight, toned body danced across the sparring ground like a panther, her pink hair clinging to her face as she trained fiercely under the morning sun.
Lakeman watched them for a moment with calm satisfaction.
Then, without any outward movement, he activated his Observation Haki.
A moment later, his awareness spread like a rising tide, engulfing the entire Sabaody Archipelago. Every living being—every breath, every heartbeat—became part of his perception.
Within seconds, he located Hancock.
She was at Shakky's Rip-Off Bar, seated near the back in a quiet corner. Her posture was relaxed, but her aura carried subtle tension—she hadn't departed for Amazon Lily yet.
'So they're still preparing. The journey hasn't begun.'
'Forget it. No need to meet. She still needs time to mature—her body, her reputation, her loyalty. Give her a few years. Let the world worship her again as the unmatched Pirate Empress... then I'll claim her once more and fuck her senseless with no restraint.'
