Kenji knew that before today, Kong most likely still believed his strength was, at most, on par with a regular Admiral.
Previously, when he encountered the Roger Pirates in the East Blue and severely defeated them, because Garp was the one who pursued them afterward, and Kenji's side didn't report the detailed situation, Marineford might have misjudged, thinking Garp contributed more.
This was evident from Kong's reaction when he heard about the successful defeat of Shiki.
Kong's shocked attitude clearly showed he had never anticipated such an outco.
In fact, when Kong called this ti, besides informing him about the World Governnt's movents,bhe had originally intended to remind Kenji that Shiki had recently appeared within a thousand-mile radius of Wano Country.
For a Legendary Pirate, a thousand-mile radius isn't considered very far.
Especially for Shiki, with his Float-Float Fruit ability, that distance could be covered within a day.
Kong already knew that the Whitebeard Pirates were staying in Wano Country, and now Shiki had arrived.
With one or two Legendary Pirates facing Kenji alone, he was afraid Kenji might not be able to handle it.
Who knew that in the end, he would receive such news?
The Whitebeard Pirates retreated! Golden Lion Shiki was directly defeated!
'After this incident, my strength is now partially exposed.' Kenji thought to himself.
He actually didn't want to expose his strength.
Although an Admiral is already the highest combat power in the Marine, with great responsibilities, many tis an Admiral still has to obey orders from the Holy Land, and even work for those scoundrels in the Holy Land.
However, Kenji clearly understood the trade-offs. His attitude towards those scoundrels in the Holy Land was simple.
He won't listen.
If possible, he wanted to continue being "low-key."
It's just that his low-key was different from ordinary people.
Marineford and the World Governnt, don't bother him if there's nothing, and especially don't bother him if there's sothing. That's true low-key.
Unfortunately, as his strength grew, even a slight move from him yielded extrely striking results, it was hard for others not to notice.
"Forget it, those guys in the Holy Land... especially that guy, will notice sooner or later."
Kenji slowly walked to the window, gazing at the distant horizon, which was the direction of the Red Line.
The highest point of the Red Line, the place closest to the sun, was a place where darkness lurked, like a ten-thousand-ter-high tower filled with filth.
Kenji didn't want to be the one to push the tower down, finding it troubleso, and believing that in the future, so fated individuals would do it.
But if the other party wanted to stir up trouble, he naturally wouldn't back down.
"The tree desires tranquility, but the wind will not cease..."
Kenji withdrew his gaze, scanning the streets of Flower Capital below, recalling the recent movents of the World Governnt that Kong had inford him of.
At this mont, Rumi's figure moved gracefully, silently pressing against Kenji's back, her round elasticity making one's bones tingle.
Her beautiful face was close to his ear, red lips parting, exuding a fragrant scent.
"What are you looking at?"
Rumi smiled charmingly, a playful look on her face, a hint of softness in her watery eyes, and a teasing tone in her words.
"My 'So Amazing' Mister?"
Kenji turned his head, smiled slightly, and inserted his index finger into Rumi's thin, moist red lips, stirring it.
Watching the oiran's eyes filled with infatuation, Kenji's lips curved into a smile.
In the past few days, his heart-to-heart talks with Rumi had brought them much closer.
He even learned a bit about her background. This Oiran was from overseas, only ca to Wano Country three years ago, and had been an Oiran for less than a year.
And her real na was indeed Rumi, making her the first Oiran to use her real na.
As for her surna, her true surna... as Kenji had guessed earlier, it was Amatsuki.
So her real na was Amatsuki Rumi.
"Amatsuki, Kozuki... Is there any connection between the two?"
Kenji looked at Rumi, who was busy beneath him, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"Pururu pururu"
The Den Den Mushi in his arms suddenly rang.
Kenji took out the Den Den Mushi and glanced at it, it was a call from' Kong.
Kenji answered the phone, and Kong's voice, suppressing joy, ca from the other end.
"Kenji, I've already reported your successful defeat of Shiki to the Five Elders of the World Governnt!"
"The Five Elders believe your contribution is imnse, they want to personally et and comnd you."
"Five Elders? Personally et and comnd ?" Kenji listened to Kong's information, pouted, unfazed, his tone sowhat lazy.
"Those five old geezers, why are they suddenly 'paying attention' to ? Just because I caught a Golden Lion?"
"Huh? What's so strange about that? That's a Legendary Pirate! Your actions this ti even astonished the Five Elders...:" Kong spoke quickly, giving his opinion.
Kenji listened distractedly. In fact, he knew much more about the Five Elders than Kong.
These five old n had lived for a long ti and regarded many things in the world very lightly, even their descendants might not receive much attention.
Let alone a Marine, and a 'thorn in their side' Admiral at that.
"The Five Elders obey that person on important matters... Is this their intention?" Kenji speculated in his heart, but couldn't be sure.
Beneath him, Rumi gradually entered a state, and her voice began to lose its composure.
The muffled sound seed to be heard by Kong on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, who imdiately asked with a puzzled tone:
"What's that sound? Kenji, what are you doing?"
"Oh, busy."
Kenji ca back to his senses, glanced at Rumi beneath him, and urged the Den Den Mushi.
"About what you said, let's leave it at that for now. I'll think about it... Hmm, if there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."
Kong on the other end of the Den Den Mushi was stunned for a mont, and when he ca back to his senses, he found that the Den Den Mushi had already been hung up.
"That guy...:"
Kong was a bit annoyed and displeased, gritting his teeth in anger.
"What does 'think about it' an?"
In the power structure, the World Governnt's Five Elders are the Marine's superiors, and Kong, as Fleet Admiral, also needs to obey their directives.
Normally, when the Five Elders had an order, Kong had to be available at their beck and call.
This ti, however, the Five Elders, who ostensibly held the highest power in the world, requested a personal audience, but Kenji didn't seem to appreciate it much, clearly not keen on their comndation.
"That guy really... always does stupid things!" Kong scratched his head in annoyance.
If your superior requests a eting and comndation, and you don't go, not only will you lose the comndation, but there might also be punishnt.
And Kenji's performance over the years had always been diligent and not causing trouble, so why did he suddenly want to make a big stir this ti?
Kong thought and thought, but could only conclude: I don't understand!
"Fortunately, he is still on his mission... Hmm, there's still ti to adjust."
In the end, Kong had no choice but to consider how to help clean up the ss.
On the other side, on the second floor of the Pleasure Quarter in Flower Capital, Wano Country.
Kenji casually closed a window, then lowered his head, only to be dazzled by a expanse of pure white, making his entire mood light up.
"Heh, always so eager."
Kenji leaned down, his index finger gently tapping Rumi's sweat-beaded nose, teasing.
"What a little glutton!"
Subsequently, the sounds within the room were muffled. If soone were to listen from outside, they would find that the sounds from this room ceased abruptly at that mont.
