"At the White rarity, the ti I can see into the future is within one minute." Kenji summarized, comparing the changes in his ability.
"Within the Blue rarity, ten minutes is basically the limit."
"So, when it upgrades to Purple rarity... will the limit reach over half an hour?"
Looking at the super-blue, almost black Future Vision trait in his vision, Kenji felt a sense of anticipation.
"Hmm, I'll test it in more detail back at the office... I have a feeling the limit might exceed ten minutes."
Kenji pondered as he got up and walked towards the ship's cabin.
At the sa ti, on the decks of the three warships, busy soldiers were everywhere.
Although the battle just now was brief and Charlotte was successfully defeated, the three warships, which were very close to each other, suffered severe damage.
Fortunately, the overall hull was not seriously damaged and did not require major repairs, but minor and dium repairs were nurous.
All personnel in the team were mobilized and worked tirelessly until dark, barely completing the repairs.
Afterward, except for the main ship where Kenji was, the other two warships escorted Charlotte back to Marineford according to orders.
As for the main ship, there was no precise heading yet, as Kenji had not clearly stated where he was going, only vaguely setting a general direction.
After the continuous major incidents in recent months, the troops on the main ship had absolute trust and obedience towards Kenji. They just did their work and didn't ask many questions.
And everyone felt it was natural, as if it should be this way.
If an outsider were to board the ship at this mont and express surprise and doubt, the personnel on the warship would probably roll their eyes, too lazy to explain.
A few good-tempered soldiers would most likely sarcastically remark, "How dare you question Admiral Shirojishi?"
"Once you've followed him and defeated the Legendary Pirates one by one, you'll be more obedient."
For the next few days, the warship sailed in the direction indicated by Kenji, but without a specific destination.
Until this morning.
Kenji, an early riser, was about to step out of the cabin to check around. He estimated that after these days of sailing, they were probably close to their destination.
Purupurupuru!
Just as Kenji arrived on the deck, his Den Den Mushi rang. It was a call from Kong.
"That brat Kuzan is even lazier than ... Before, Anna used to handle all the communications at Marineford..."
Kenji took out the Den Den Mushi with a bit of annoyance and asked impatiently, "Has Charlotte been delivered to Marineford?"
"Charlotte?"
Kong on the other end of the Den Den Mushi was thrown off by Kenji's sudden question, almost falling into a bewildered state of 'What was I going to say?'
However, a Fleet Admiral is a Fleet Admiral after all. He hadn't spent so many years for nothing.
He quickly ca to his senses and first responded to Kenji's question, "Charlotte hasn't been escorted to Marineford... She escaped!"
"...Oh." To Kong's surprise, Kenji's reaction to the news was remarkably calm.
So calm that it was as if he wasn't even involved.
After all, the escaped Charlotte could be used to repeatedly farm missions for rewards, so Kenji truly didn't care.
'Charlotte was captured by your own hands! Don't you care about such a huge credit running away?' Kong wanted to shout, but his composure ultimately made him suppress his surprise and curiosity.
However, the next mont, Kenji's words almost made him lose his composure and break character.
"Is there anything else? I'm hanging up." Kenji said in a calm tone, as if it were perfectly natural.
"You..." Kong took a deep breath, and then his voice beca grave.
"More than a month ago, after you led your team into Elbaph, besides expelling Charlotte, did you do anything else?"
"Heh heh, I stayed in Elbaph for a while, so I definitely did a lot of things." Kenji said as he walked to the bow, looking out at the distant sea.
Hearing Kenji beating around the bush, Kong was silent for a mont, then decided to get straight to the point "Did you see anyone from the World Governnt in Elbaph?"
"You don't need to deny it. The World Governnt has already communicated with and told so things..."
'Communicated with you? Got lectured by the Five Elders again?' Kenji felt like laughing.
But thinking that Kong also had it tough, Kenji told him everything that happened in the Heaven World temple in Elbaph.
"...So, the deaths of those three CP0 agents have nothing to do with . I just beat up those guys from the God's Knights."
Kenji's tone was very natural, just like a casual chat between friends.
However, on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Kong's mind was currently experiencing a violent earthquake, his eyes wide open, almost bulging out.
He stood at attention.
'What did I just hear? An Admiral clashing with the God's Knights? I've never heard of this information, this kind of thing, before!'
"...Hmm." After a long while, he barely recovered.
Then, while annoyed that the Five Elders were tight-lipped and hadn't leaked a single word, he scratched his head and began to ponder.
Not how to deal with the matter, but how *not* to deal with it.
"Uh-huh, that..."
A mont later, Kong cleared his throat, then said in a slightly dispirited voice, "I haven't been sleeping well lately. I keep feeling like I can't rember things..."
"Oh, right, what were you just saying? A plan to continue pursuing other Legendary Pirates, was it?"
"Heh."
Hearing Kong playing dumb, Kenji curved his lips into a slight smile.
He didn't tease his old colleague, but simply and clearly stated his next goal, "Your mory really isn't good. I'm going to Wano Country next."
"Wano Country? That closed country with samurai?" Kong asked back, sowhat surprised, then recalled information about Wano Country.
"Wano Country should be an isolated island, having been closed off for many years. According to past information, the samurai there are very strong, and... you need to be careful."
After explaining this, he suddenly rembered sothing, clapped his hands, and laughed, "Perfect! Since you're planning to go to Wano Country, you might as well collect so information about this country. Consider it a mission."
Kenji understood what he ant, smiled in response, and then hung up the call.
As soon as he put away the Den Den Mushi, a system mission prompt appeared in his vision.
[Due to Wano Country's long-standing isolation, Marineford has always wanted to thoroughly search this closed country!]
[You have heard so information about Wano Country from the Fleet Admiral.]
[You have decided to accept the mission to search Wano Country!]
