Kenji thought for a while, and after much deliberation, it seed the only way was to quickly advance the Giant Bloodline trait to a higher level. Then he would try again.
Moreover, even if not for comprehending Devil Fruit abilities, the Giant Bloodline trait also needed to be upgraded.
After all, it was not easy to break through the upper limit of the Giant Bloodline trait through mission rewards, so it couldn't be wasted.
"Speaking of which, this trait breakthrough..."
Kenji's heart stirred, and he brought up the Giant Bloodline trait again to check.
In the system interface, the display of the Giant Bloodline trait was no different from other gold traits.
Just as Kenji was about to bring up the system's previous trait breakthrough prompt description.
The door creaked open, and Kuzan walked in, covered in gunpowder smoke, the sll of blood still on his clothes.
"Kenji-san, all pirates have been cleared out." Kuzan strode in, looking quite murderous.
Kenji took a look and understood. Previously, Kuzan hadn't experienced many battlefields, especially large-scale wars like this, he wasn't even a formal Marine.
Whether one has experienced the tempering of blood and fire on the battlefield makes a big difference.
Before today, no matter how strong Kuzan's potential was, he was still just a greenhorn. But now, he had a hint of iron and blood about him.
"In this battle, a total of thirty-three pirate ships were annihilated..." Kuzan continued to report the battle results.
"Additionally, pirate prisoners... due to insufficient space in the warship's brig, only fifty prisoners were detained."
As for where the other pirate prisoners went? Kuzan didn't explain further, and Kenji didn't bother to ask.
"Oh, right."
After reporting the battle results, Kuzan suddenly frowned and brought up another matter.
"We've interrogated so of the pirate prisoners and obtained so... strange intelligence."
Kenji turned to look at Kuzan upon hearing this.
"Hmm, it's about the intelligence regarding our encounter with the attack this ti." Kuzan paused, organized his words, and then spoke again.
"We found out that this attack was because the Flying Pirates had received intelligence in advance."
"According to so of the prisoners, so of their personnel had been following Golden Lion Shiki, and they discovered the news of Golden Lion Shiki's defeat and capture imdiately."
"So, they quickly assembled their forces to pursue and attempt to rescue their leader."
At this point, Kuzan's voice suddenly lowered. "However, according to the confessions of a small number of other prisoners, their Flying Pirates high-ranking mbers seed to have received so additional intelligence beforehand."
"And it was intelligence related to our warship's destination and navigation route."
"Hmm."
Kenji nodded, casually waving his hand and saying, "Large organizations all have their own intelligence channels, and the Flying Pirates' influence is vast, with an intelligence network spanning the world. It's not surprising that they could obtain this information."
After speaking, he gestured to Kuzan, indicating for the latter to handle affairs outside and to control the upcoming navigation route.
After Kuzan went out and closed the door, a thoughtful expression gradually appeared on Kenji's face.
In fact, he had long had suspicions about the Flying Pirates' sudden attack and had so targets in mind. However, there was no need to speak these words and disrupt morale before they were confird.
No matter what, the Marine and the World Governnt were allies, or rather, one family. Internal backstabbing would destabilize people's hearts.
Kenji and other Marine high-ranking officials might know what was going on, but the people below did not.
Even, due to the Marine's long-standing training in obedience, the personnel below, including Vice Admiral, were willing to obey the orders of the Five Elders, who openly held the highest power in the world. Therefore, Kenji wanted to create a New Marine.
'Heh, they don't dare to face directly, only daring to play little tricks in private?' After a mont of thought, a sneer appeared on Kenji's lips, and his eyes showed disdain.
This was a world with extraordinary powers, where power belonged to oneself. Of course, in most cases, a large number of people was still very useful.
For example, if your strength doesn't reach a crushing level, then if the opponent outnumbers you tenfold, they can wear you down and kill you.
But what if it's a crushing victory?
What would happen if the Roger Pirates faced the so-called Buster Call led by five Vice Admirals?
Perhaps one Divine Departure would instantly kill half of the Marine fleet, and another one would wipe out the remaining warships.
And with Kenji's current strength, even an Admiral-level combatant would be crushed. After all, his record of consecutively defeating three Legendary Pirates was not faked and contained no falsification.
Perhaps it was also because of this that those individuals with ulterior motives in the shadows dared not confront him directly.
'When I'm strong enough in the future... should I push the tower?'
A thought suddenly popped into Kenji's mind, so recent events had given him these ideas.
'...Hmm, no hurry, let's continue with so missions first.'
Having been stable for decades, Kenji had basically ford a habit, and he was not in a hurry at this mont.
Although he had consecutively defeated Legendary Pirates, Kenji still chose to be a bit more cautious. Even if his combat power was already very great, he still needed to be prudent, didn't he?
He had only beco stronger, he didn't have a revive cheat, so if anything happened, his life online would go offline imdiately.
Of course, the most important thing was that the task of pushing the tower had long been arranged by fate for others to do. If those guys in the dark didn't co to a life-and-death duel with him, why should he fight to the death?
'As for this matter... I'll let Kong investigate when I get back.' Kenji's eyes flickered, and he considered many things in his heart.
Just then, outside, a sudden clamor erupted, loud enough to be heard inside the room. Kenji didn't get up, he simply released his Observation Haki to sense and investigate.
Then, he discovered that many unfamiliar auras had appeared near the warship. The intensity of these auras was not high, clearly ordinary in strength, but higher than that of ordinary rchant ship civilians. It looked like pirates or sothing similar.
"Heh, what's going on today? Pirates are coming in waves." Kenji smiled, got up, and walked out of the room.
As soon as he arrived on the deck, he saw a pirate ship not far away, and he didn't recognize any of the pirates on board. But there was one person among them, a young girl, whom he found familiar.
