Reno ignored the system's prompt and instead met Charlotte Linlin's desire-filled gaze.
"Don't rush, my Linlin. My racial ability will definitely satisfy you."
"The system—expands my body to nine meters."
The moment the command was issued, that familiar sensation surged through his body.
Linlin immediately noticed the change. Her hand paused mid-motion, her amber eyes glowing faintly in the darkness.
"What?"
Before her eyes, Reno's body began to grow at a visible rate. In mere moments, he had surpassed her in height.
"You can actually change your size?"
Her expression shifted from surprise to excitement as she examined him.
[Size Adjustment has been applied. Note: The body will revert once intimate contact ends.]
"Hahaha! How interesting—your race is truly fascinating!"
Linlin's laughter carried a sense of discovering a new treasure.
"Are you satisfied?" Reno asked.
"Of course," she replied without hesitation.
"Then let's begin…"
(Scene fades out)
A system notification suddenly rang out:
[Ding!]
[First intimate contact detected with a Yonko-Commander-level individual. Critical reward triggered!]
[Attribute Points Gained: 200!]
[First interaction with original character Charlotte Linlin detected. Conditions met for unlocking Succubus Ability 2.]
[Succubus Ability 2: Demon Conversion — Awakening…]
[Progress: 10%… 30%… 60%… 100%]
[Awakening complete!]
[Demon Conversion: The host can use Devil Fruits to transform a target into a corresponding demon entity.]
[The transformed individual gains all traits of that devil and is immune to Devil Fruit weaknesses.]
[The host can extract future growth in strength from the transformed individual without hindering them.]
[Note: Existing Devil Fruit users can also be converted.]
Reno's eyes widened.
Two hundred attribute points!
That alone exceeded what he would normally gain in one or two months.
And more importantly—he had unlocked a second ability.
Demon Conversion.
This ability was even more powerful than his original growth method.
It meant he could not only grow stronger himself but also potentially build a network of powerful allies—while still benefiting from their growth.
At that moment, his ambitions expanded further.
Time passed.
The sounds of waves rhythmically striking the ship echoed through the cabin as moonlight filtered in.
Eventually, everything quieted down.
Linlin lay on the bed, her pink hair scattered, her breathing heavy as she stared at the ceiling, still processing the overwhelming experience.
For the first time in her life, she realized something like this could feel… like that.
Meanwhile, Reno had already returned to his normal size, his body covered in sweat, though his expression was filled with excitement.
Because in a single night—
He had gained a total of 380 attribute points.
With a thought, he opened his status panel and invested everything into the Constitution.
[Constitution: Rear Admiral → Major General Level (143/1000)+]
[Attribute Points: 0]
A warm current flowed through his body again, reinforcing him.
Not only had his Constitution advanced to the next tier, but he had also unlocked a powerful new ability.
After calming down, Reno glanced at Linlin beside him, already thinking ahead.
The newly awakened Demon Conversion ability was incredibly valuable.
To anyone.
A Devil Fruit normally granted only one power—and came with severe weaknesses.
But his ability removed those drawbacks entirely.
For someone like Linlin, this was an opportunity she couldn't ignore.
If he revealed it now, it could significantly increase his standing and leverage.
"Linlin," he called.
Under the moonlight, the future Empress of the Sea looked less domineering and more… relaxed.
She turned her head slightly, curiosity in her eyes.
"My Reno… why did you shrink again?"
Reno smiled helplessly and brushed a strand of her pink hair aside.
"I can only change my size during intimate contact."
"So naturally, I reverted."
"I see…"
Linlin nodded, then said casually:
"Then let's just do it again."
