One Piece : Start As Celestial Dragon And Take Down Hancock

Chapter 66: Rayleigh’s Feedback, Haki and Swordsmanship are Top Notch!



After a few days,

Lakeman reclined on the luxurious bed, his eyes fixed on Stussy as she kneeled before him. Her eyes, filled with a mixture of fear and desire, locked onto his. He reached down, running his fingers through her hair, savoring the silky texture.

"Open wide, Stussy," Lakeman commanded, his voice a low growl of authority.

Stussy obediently parted her lips, her eyes never leaving his. Lakeman guided her head down, his grip firm but not painful. He relished the sensation as he entered her mouth, feeling her warm tongue against his skin. Stussy took him in deeper, her throat contracting around him as she struggled to accommodate his size.

"Aahh... enjoy, bitch," Lakeman said, his voice a mix of satisfaction and cruelty.

Stussy gagged slightly, tears forming in the corners of her eyes, but she continued, driven by a desperate need to please him. Her hands moved to his thighs, gripping them for support as she bobbed her head up and down, taking him as deep as she could. Lakeman watched her with a twisted smile, his pleasure evident in the way his body responded to her efforts.

[Ding… current progress: 100%]

[You have successfully bound Stussy and will receive her daily training feedback.]

'Finally bound her,' Lakeman thought, his mind racing with triumph. 'This is the result of pounding her day and night for a week. Due to being so close to me all the time, she was bound even faster than Hancock.'

Stussy's movements became more fervent, her tongue swirling around him, seeking to draw out his pleasure. She could feel his climax approaching, the tension building in his muscles. With a final thrust, Lakeman held her head in place, his grip tightening as he released, filling her throat with his warm spunk.

"Gulp, gulp," Stussy swallowed every drop, her eyes watering from the effort.

She pulled back slightly, opening her mouth to show him she had taken it all. A seductive smile played on her lips. "How did I perform, Master? Do you like it?"

Lakeman's eyes glinted with satisfaction. "You did well, Stussy," he said, his voice a purr of approval.

Stussy leaned in, cleaning him meticulously, her tongue flicking out to catch every last drop. She took her time, savoring the taste of him, before carefully tucking him back into his pants.

More than half a month passed in a blink of an eye.

Lakeman supervised Rayleigh, who guided the three Boa sisters every day, constantly improving the binding progress.

Finally, the progress bar was full.

[Ding dong!]

[Current progress: 100%]

[You have successfully bound Silvers Rayleigh and will receive his daily training feedback.]

The day the binding was completed, Lakeman never showed up again.

He stayed in the hotel and was alone in the training room.

Click, click, click——

Lakeman took off his shirt, his muscles flexing and squirming with his thoughts, like little mice running and walking. Not only that, the internal organs of his body became active. Blood, hormones, and endocrine systems instantly entered a high state. In the abdominal cavity, it was like a furnace, burning brightly. The five internal organs felt hot. In just a few minutes, Lakeman was sweating profusely, and the floor was wet with sweat.

He gently exhaled a breath of turbid air, which was like white smoke. It rolled and flew more than thirty centimeters before dissipating.

"The return of life has made my internal organs as strong as a furnace."

"Thanks to Stussy, as she provided me with the Six Styles and Life Return again, which enhanced my Six Styles and Life Return."

"I was able to consciously manipulate various bodily functions, including hair, body shape, and muscle growth, to suit my needs in combat or other situations before getting Stussy's feedback. This heightened control also enables me to accelerate the healing process, allowing for quicker recovery from injuries by managing bodily functions at a cellular level."

"Now it has become even more formidable. This mastery enables me to consciously manipulate every aspect of my physical being, from hair length and muscle mass to body shape and internal processes, effectively transforming my body at will. With this advanced control, I can achieve near-instantaneous healing, allowing me to recover from even the most grievous injuries by precisely managing my cellular functions."

"Not only that, the limitless adaptability conferred by Life Return allows me to tailor my body to any situation, whether by massively increasing muscle mass for unparalleled strength or refining my physique for blistering speed and agility. This makes me nearly invincible in battle, capable of countering any opponent's strategy with ease. Additionally, Life Return can be harnessed to create devastating combat techniques, such as weaponizing hair into deadly tendrils or altering body parts to unleash earth-shattering physical attacks."

Lakeman stood up and looked forward, his eyes sharp and determined. This look was completely different from the sloppy look of the past.

"And binding Rayleigh allows me to gain Haki's full catalog and swordsmanship."

[You get training feedback from Silvers Rayleigh!]

[You have awakened Armament Haki!]

[You have awakened Observation Haki!]

[You have awakened Conqueror's Haki!]

[You have mastered basic swordsmanship.]

"First of all, the Armament Haki," Lakeman raised his hand and clenched his fingers into a fist. The power hidden in his body burst out, covering his fist like a steel membrane. He suddenly swung a punch and hit the sandbag in front of him.

Bang!

The sandbag exploded directly, and the iron sand inside flew in all directions like bullets. Countless small holes were shot through the walls, floors, and ceilings. Part of the iron sand was shot at Lakeman, but it seemed to hit a copper wall and spattered dense sparks, which then bounced away. It didn't hurt Lakeman one bit.

"Is this the world of Observation Haki?" Lakeman closed his eyes.

He 'saw' a whole new world. The surface of his body was covered with a light black coating, and on his fist, this blackness was as rich as ink, coating the entire fist in black. This is the power of Armament Haki. And outside the body, things lost their shape and color. 

There were only six vague directions: front, back, left, right, up, and down, with different sounds coming from them. Lakeman seemed to have developed an organ like radar. He captured the sounds of all living creatures within a radius of 500 meters centered on himself. These sounds continuously sent out signals, forming clear points in the sky.

"It's such an amazing feeling."

Lakeman was like a curious child, excitedly exploring the power of Observation and Armament Haki.

The third day…

Lakeman had been shutting himself in the training room. Rayleigh, a seasoned man, made too many improvements in practice every day.

 Lakeman's three-color Haki and swordsmanship level had improved rapidly. In just five days, his Armament Haki had gone beyond hardening, entangling, and external release, and directly entered the fourth stage of 'internal destruction'! 

Observation Haki extended to a radius of one thousand meters and had a prophetic intuition, able to predict the enemy's movements. 

Conqueror's Haki had been finely controlled. Swordsmanship had also entered the ranks of the great swordsman.

"As expected of the Pirate King's deputy, he appears to be quiet on the surface, but in reality, he has reached the threshold of 'foreseeing the future'." Lakeman was impressed.

The strong men of the previous generation are indeed sharp. No wonder he fought countless battles in the first half of his life and could retire peacefully. He turns out to be really strong!

"Having acquired all of Rayleigh's skills, I can be considered a strong player, right?" Lakeman said thoughtfully.

In addition to skills, Haki also has a gap between 'quality' and 'quantity'. His skills have caught up, but the quality is not yet up to par. His physical age is still under adulthood, and he is not as good as those guys who are in their prime. But despite this, the top three-color Haki and swordsmanship skills are enough for Lakeman to crush most pirates, even Shichibukai and Supernovas.

Crackling!

Thinking of this, Lakeman stretched himself and walked out of the training room.

"The agreed month is almost here."

He stepped out of the hotel and walked to the training ground. Along the way, the guards and maids followed Lakeman. But today, they were a little confused.

'Master, has he become stronger again?'

'I feel a very fierce aura!'

'Yes, it's like meeting an ancient beast, very scary.'

'I have only experienced this feeling with the great pirate worth hundreds of millions of Beli's!'

They communicated with their eyes and looked shocked. Lakeman was aware of their small actions but ignored them. Just be free. As long as they don't betray, Lakeman won't care what his subordinates are thinking, nor will he control the thoughts of his subordinates like a tyrant. He pretends nothing happened and walked to the training ground.

He hadn't entered the training ground yet. Just barely close. Rayleigh, who was in the field, suddenly raised his head, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in surprise, "What an amazing aura. Does Lakeman have such strong guards?"

"If you put it on the sea, it would be a big pirate with a reward of at least one billion."

"Not on par with that kid Kizaru..."

Rayleigh suddenly paused. His expression became even more astonished, his eyes widened and filled with disbelief.

Outside the training ground, a young man with jet black hair walked in slowly. The boy was none other than Lakeman. And Lakeman was exactly the 'powerful guard' that Rayleigh sensed through his sense of sight!

"How can it be?"

Rayleigh looked at Lakeman in shock, his glasses almost falling to the floor.

"We haven't seen each other for a few days. How did he become so strong?"

"Hey, Mr. Rayleigh is as energetic as always," Lakeman walked over with a smile and greeted the astonished Rayleigh.

Rayleigh said nothing, staring at Lakeman with a ghostly expression.

"Are you really Saint Lakeman?" Rayleigh couldn't help but ask.

"Of course!" Lakeman nodded. "If it's fake, it will be replaced!"

Rayleigh suddenly stopped talking. He really wanted to complain. How could a ten-year-old child, still a pampered Celestial Dragon, have the strength to rival Admiral candidates?

Even if you start practicing from your mother's womb, it's still impossible! My perception should be correct. Even if Kizaru has the Sparkling Fruit, in a fight with Saint Lakeman, the outcome will only be 50-50. Rayleigh looked at Lakeman, deep in thought.

'But why 50-50?'

'A few days ago, you were only as strong as a Rear Admiral of the headquarters!'

Thinking of this, Rayleigh frowned. He couldn't understand. Special talent? Special fruit ability? Or have you been hiding your strength? Rayleigh looked at Lakeman deeply, remaining silent for a long time, and said, "You shocked me, Saint Lakeman."

"It's my pleasure, Mr. Rayleigh." Lakeman nodded and smiled.

Both understood what the other meant. But this scene, in the eyes of others, was extremely confusing.

"Sister, why did Mr. Rayleigh say that?"

"Does it mean that the master is very strong?"

The two sisters whispered. Hancock did not speak but looked at Lakeman intently, frowning slightly. She felt a sense of danger from Lakeman. It was as if the opponent was an ancient dinosaur or a violent beast, which could easily overwhelm.

'Is this the feeling of Observation Haki?'

Hancock rubbed her temples and felt tired. "Mr. Rayleigh said, " I have a good talent. I have already touched the power of awakening Observation Haki, and I can sense the strength and threat of the enemy."

'So, my knowledge tells me that the master is very dangerous?'

Hancock's eyes became full of meaning. She knew very early on that Lakeman was not simple. He looked indifferent on the surface, but in fact, he was secretly working hard every day, and his strength improved at an alarming rate.

"I'm not interested in your secrets. One month is up, the agreement is completed, and it's time for me to leave." Rayleigh glanced at Lakeman a few times, then looked away.

He had fulfilled his dream and left the sea. No matter how mysterious Lakeman is, it has nothing to do with him.

"Thank you, Mr. Rayleigh, for your guidance during this time. See you again soon." Lakeman nodded without holding back.

Rayleigh waved his hand, walked over, and gave Hancock a few final words before leaving.

Far away, Kizaru, who had been following him, breathed a sigh of relief.

"I finally left. I haven't had a good night's sleep this month."

He stretched, feeling tired.

That day, Kizaru returned to the naval headquarters, reporting everything truthfully to Marshal Sengoku.

"Lakeman Saint, yes, He has incredible strength."

"If I fight him, it is possible that I will die in his hands."

Sengoku's eyes widened when he heard this. He stared at Kizaru closely, trying to tell if the other party was joking.

"As expected, it's not a joke."

Sengoku pondered for a while. "A young man who is only ten years old, it's impossible."

"I know it sounds absurd." Kizaru took a sip of tea, relaxed a lot, and said lazily: "But it's the truth."

"Perhaps, we should find an opportunity to let him join the navy."

"With his talent and strength, he will definitely be a good seedling."

Kizaru made this suggestion from the bottom of his heart. The navy and Celestial Dragons are allies in a sense. Lakeman's choice to become a navy can be said to be a matter of course.

At the same time, in the Sabaody Archipelago,

In the hotel, Lakeman quietly felt the changes in himself. He was already fully proficient in both Armament Haki and Observation Haki, and had even practiced Conqueror's Haki. There was a brand new ability after combining them all with improved Life Return.

It could extract the life force and energy from the surrounding air and use it for one's own use. It's like producing oxygen through photosynthesis. In other words, as long as you stand on the ground and breathe the air, you can continuously replenish your physical strength and stay in peak condition.

"I see, is this a 'metabolism' transformation?"

Lakeman nodded thoughtfully. With such a large cheat, as long as you don't get careless, you can basically survive. Plus all the experiences I have gone through. He has enough confidence to deal with everything. It's like now. Lakeman walked slowly, feeling the increasingly deep breath in the surrounding air.

..........

Trebol, who had a runny nose, put his hands in his trouser pockets, revealing his pistol and holster, and walked towards the auction house with a serious look on his face. As a subordinate of the Donquixote family, he came here for only one purpose, to sell Devil Fruits.

"As long as I can sell the Devil Fruit, I will be able to raise enough money to help the young master deal with the Celestial Dragons."

Trebol muttered, frowning slightly. But not long after, he stopped. From the direction of the auction house, the breath of the people coming and going became faintly oppressive. It was like being stared at by some ancient fierce beast, instinctively generating fear.

"What a strong man."

Trebol muttered, his eyes gloomy.

"According to the intelligence, the auction house has been taken over by the World Government, and the boss behind it is Saint Lakeman."

"Damn it, I originally wanted to sell Devil Fruits here, but now I have to deal with the Celestial Dragons..."

Trebol clenched his fists, and after thinking for a long time, he still chose to report to the young master.

Donquixote family headquarters, Spider Miles Island, North Blue.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Doflamingo's eyes flickered after listening to Trebol's report.

"Unexpectedly, behind the scenes at the auction house, it was a Celestial Dragon, Saint Lakeman."

"Young Master, what should I do now?" Trebol asked.

"You're doing a good job. Find a place to stand by first, and I'm going to check for more information." Doflamingo said.

"Understood!" Trebol said.

"That's it." Doflamingo hung up.

In the room, Doflamingo was sitting on the sofa with a deep expression on his face, lost in thought.

"The Celestial Dragons have taken over, there's trouble."

"I originally wanted to use Devil Fruits to lure out the people behind the auction, catch them all, and then set up an underground auction to do illegal business such as arms, human bodies, contraband, etc."

"It's hard to grab it now."

Naturally, I have also heard about the name 'Lakeman.'

But, he doesn't want to get involved too much with the Celestial Dragons. Even though he is a former Celestial Dragon, he also has the blood of the world aristocracy. However, Doflamingo clearly understands that as long as there is a change in the wind direction, his family will face annihilation.

.................

Lakeman doesn't care about the outside world. He is digesting the changes brought about by his mastery of Three-color Haki and improved Life Return.

"This feeling of strength is really good!"

He stood up slowly, with a confident smile on his face.

"Now, the sea is my next goal."
