Devil Fruit Development

Lakeman's Devil Fruit awakening gave him profound new powers, expanding his capabilities in ways that even he had yet to fully comprehend. The transformation had been intense, but the results were palpable: a near-limitless reservoir of abilities to explore and exploit.

Eager to push the boundaries, he summoned several CP agents to his training room. Testing his powers, he experimented on them meticulously, trying combinations of attribute and skill theft, memory manipulation, and even temporary physical transformations. The agents endured the trials day after day, their bodies and minds pushed to the edge as he tested every facet of his newfound strength.

Their journey continued, and as they neared Alabasta, Lakeman seized the opportunity to further refine his abilities by acquiring criminals from a member country along the way. Unlike the CP agents, these prisoners were entirely expendable to him. Lakeman held nothing back, pushing his Devil Fruit's power to the limit with each experiment. 

He manipulated their memories, drained their strength, even attempted to meld stolen powers, all without regard for their lives. Through this ruthless exploration, he began to uncover the depths of his Devil Fruit's potential—how far he could stretch each ability, how long they lasted, and what devastating effects he could bring about.

Though he spent his days in relentless experimentation, Lakeman did not forget his own desires. Each night, he took time to indulge in his private quarters, pampering Boa Hancock and Nico Robin, reveling in their beauty and their sexy body. They became his only pleasure amidst his relentless trials, and he made certain to enjoy every moment with them, finding both pleasure and satisfaction in their submission.

Lakeman's relentless month of experimentation and ruthless trials bore astonishing results, elevating his Steal-Steal Fruit abilities to unprecedented heights.

Upon awakening, the Devil Fruit bestowed even more formidable powers, extending his abilities' range, duration, and depth. Each day, he felt his potential grow beyond what he had previously imagined, and he reveled in the new dominance he could wield.

He first mastered permanent attribute transfer. Now, he could steal physical strength, agility, and skills without a time limit, integrating them permanently into himself. With each attribute he claimed, he grew stronger, more agile, more skilled. Each gain felt permanent, indelible. He'd become a living embodiment of the strength and skills he'd taken, never needing to return them unless he so desired.

Then, through trial and error—and nearly costing the lives of three prisoners in the process—he developed redistribution. Now, with careful precision, he could forcefully impart stolen skills or attributes into others without fatal consequences. He'd poured stolen power into his followers, watching them grow stronger, faster, more dangerous under his control. The ability made them his extensions, his tools.

"Imagine the armies I could build," he mused one day to his maid, Lily, as he watched the trembling prisoners collapse in his training chamber. "With just a few tweaks, I could make them unstoppable."

"Yes, Master Lakeman," Lily replied dutifully, her delicate hands bringing a cool cloth to his forehead. Her voice was soft, respectful, a perfect reflection of his growing power. "Your vision knows no bounds."

'Indeed. …even Makino, Kaya, Nojiko—all those delicate beauties from the original stories—they'll have the resilience to withstand the relentless pounding I want to give them. Soon enough.' 

Lakeman smirked and thought His ambition was only growing, and he relished in it.

In addition to his mastery over individual targets, he devised an area of skill theft. He could create a "Steal Zone" around himself, automatically siphoning attributes, items, or skills from everyone within a designated area. With selective stealing, he could drain strength, stamina, or any skill he wished from individuals within this zone. The aura of power he created was a wellspring of strength, feeding him continuously.

As he gazed upon the prisoners who writhed in agony each time he expanded his Steal Zone, a dark thought crossed his mind: 'What if I visited a non-member country and took the life force, skill and attribute of every inhabitant? A whole country's strength and lifespan could be mine.'

He chuckled darkly before dismissing the notion—for now.

His trials in memory and knowledge manipulation were equally successful, though not without casualties. More than once, he erased too much from a subject, leaving them in a state of permanent idiocy, their minds irreparably damaged. Yet, from these failures, he refined his Memory Steal ability, gaining control over every detail of a person's memories. He could delve deeply, retaining whatever knowledge he deemed useful while erasing or modifying the rest.

With a sinister glint in his eye, he turned to one of his captives, an old warrior with a lifetime of experience. "I'll take those decades of combat knowledge, thank you," he said with a smile, placing a hand on the man's shoulder.

The prisoner's eyes glazed over, his mind an empty vessel. "Wh-Where am I?" he stammered, completely lost.

Lakeman merely laughed. "No need to remember anything, old man. I'll put that knowledge to far better use."

One of his most thrilling breakthroughs came in his Devil Fruit power theft. After awakening, he could now retain the Devil Fruit abilities he stole indefinitely, even without the target present nearby, a feat he had previously thought impossible. 

He also unlocked Power Fusion, a new, thrilling skill that allowed him to merge stolen powers, creating hybrid abilities with devastating effects.

"What wonders could I create with the right combination of powers?" he wondered aloud, admiring his newfound abilities. "It's almost like…a god's power."

Lily, ever attentive, took his dick out of her mouth, and looked up at him with awe. "You are indeed like a god, Master Lakeman," she whispered, bowing her head in reverence.

"Flattery will get you everywhere, Lily," he chuckled, lightly patting her cheek, then held her head and forced his dick down her throat, choking her as he moaned in pleasure. "Ahhh, But save it—I still have more to accomplish."

Lifespan manipulation was also improved, becoming another cornerstone of his terrifying abilities. Where he once used stolen lifespans only to heal wounds, he could now extend his life indefinitely, regenerate severed limbs, and grant a form of immortality to his most loyal followers.

"Who needs the Ope-Ope Fruit or Pure Gold for immortality?" he sneered, feeling the years add to his life with each soul he claimed. "I can make myself, and those I deem worthy, live as long as I please."

And then, as if these developments weren't enough, new abilities emerged from his awakened state.

With Essence Stealing, he could take intangible qualities like charisma, presence, and even spiritual energy. This made him an unrivaled presence, his aura overwhelming, bending people to his will with a mere glance.

Willpower Steal was equally powerful, allowing him to drain the resolve and spirit of others, disabling their combat spirit, weakening even the strongest Haki users.

And finally, Object Creation and Replication became his ultimate tool in expanding his forces. Now he could duplicate stolen objects and skills endlessly, bestowing them on his agents to amplify his power further.

While developing these abilities, Lakeman hadn't forgotten his mission to collect pure drinking water for Alabasta. His reserves had grown to nearly a hundred million tons, prepared for whatever awaited him.

The days turned into weeks, and nearly a month passed. By the end of his trials, the prisoners were left lifeless, their bodies having borne the brunt of his merciless experiments. Lakeman, however, was now more powerful and knowledgeable than ever, ready to wield his Devil Fruit with precise and devastating mastery.

As the final prisoner slumped lifelessly to the floor, Lakeman dismissed his guards with a flick of his hand. "Throw this trash out to sea—dinner for the fish," he ordered, gesturing toward the bodies with a casual indifference.

A maid gently wiped the sweat from his brow as he leaned back, savoring the fruits of his labor. 

'It's a pity there were so few prisoners aboard. But I'll have my fill soon.'

He turned to the maid beside him, his gaze sharp. "Tell Lily to inform Stussy to mobilize CP agents in the neighboring member countries. I want every prisoner they can gather brought to Alabasta."

The maid bowed low. "Yes, Master."

As she left, Lakeman leaned back, a smirk spreading across his face. 

'Only a few more days to Alabasta', he thought, enjoying the skilled hands of another maid massaging his shoulders.

' I should be enjoying myself more like the Celestial Dragon I am, not training like a hot-blooded shonen protagonist.'

He turned to the maid feeding him fruit, letting his hand linger on her ass before giving it a firm slap. She gasped, blushing.

"I think I've had enough of your fruit," he whispered with a lewd grin, leaning in close. "Now it's your turn to taste the cream of mine." His gaze dropped to his erect cock poking under his pants meaningfully, his smirk widening.

The maid's cheeks flushed as she stammered, "Y-Yes, Master Lakeman…"

Lakeman chuckled, basking in the absolute power he now held. Soon, the world would know his name—and tremble.
