Kenji did not specify what kind of remuneration he would offer. But with his status as an Admiral, he certainly wouldn't just give so trinkets to dismiss her.
Even if Toki didn't understand what an Admiral represented, the powerful strength Kenji had just displayed was enough for her to seriously consider.
Indeed, after hearing this, Toki fell silent this ti. She didn't speak, nor did she seem to have any ulterior motives, at least not in the future scenes Kenji saw. This made Kenji quite satisfied.
Actually, he didn't want to strain their relationship, because he genuinely wanted to ask Toki for help later. And only Toki could help with this, as it required the Ti-Ti Fruit ability.
He had previously witnessed the use of the Ti-Ti Fruit through future visions.
However, seeing it this way, even if his Super Comprehension advanced to the highest golden rarity, and even if his physique also t the required standards, would he truly be able to successfully comprehend the Ti-Ti Fruit ability in the future?
All these things needed to be questioned until they were truly realized.
Kenji generally wouldn't treat things that hadn't happened yet as 100% certain, even if the probability of these things happening was very, very high. But Kenji would still approach them with caution, this was a habit he had cultivated over many years.
Moreover, if they could maintain a good relationship and help each other happily, that would naturally be the best outco.
Kenji didn't want to, nor was he accustod to, forcing others, and forcing people to do things could easily lead to problems.
If soone casually ssed things up, it could lead to a vastly different final outco, and Kenji's desired plan might not be achieved.
"Alright, you must be tired, right?" Kenji smiled and waved his hand.
"I'll have them prepare a spacious room for you later. You can get so good rest."
As Kenji waved his hand, Toki, who had been stiff opposite him, suddenly realized that she seed to be able to move.
Although her body was sowhat stiff due to prolonged immobility, she could recover with a little movent.
Toki stood in place, moving her stiff limbs, not leaving imdiately.
"Aren't you afraid I'll run away?" She asked back, swinging her arms and legs.
As she spoke, she raised her eyes, but only slightly, glancing sideways at Kenji, who was sitting casually behind the desk. This gaze and action had a rather provocative aning.
Seeing her like this, Kenji was sowhat stunned at first. He felt that the young girl in front of him was quite different from the person in his mory.
The Toki in his impression was probably innocent and naive, with a bit of a dazed aura, generally giving the impression of an honest, good person.
Actually seeing her, however, sowhat subverted Kenji's preconceived notions.
'Hmm, yes, if I think about it carefully, I don't seem to know Toki that well…' Kenji recalled carefully and realized he had fallen into a cognitive bias.
Unlike Whitebeard, Golden Lion, Roger, and other characters who frequently appeared almost like protagonists.
Kenji thought about it carefully and realized that he didn't know much about Toki's life experiences.
He only knew that this girl had a firm heart and had traveled through ti and space, seemingly to achieve certain goals.
'And… she probably still feels like she's in danger right now?' Suddenly, Kenji's heart stirred, and he thought of another crucial point.
'Speaking of which, did she ti travel a bit early?'
Thinking of this, Kenji's expression beca a bit more serious, and he recalled carefully.
'Hmm… according to the original history, she should have ti traveled two years, oh, more than a year later.'
'This current ti… she ti traveled almost a year early?'
Kenji's gaze sank slightly. He wasn't sure what subtle changes in history ant yet, but he knew the principle of the 'butterfly effect'.
Just as he was frowning in thought, opposite, Toki's continuous movents finally allowed her slightly numb hands and feet to return to normal.
Then, she looked left and right, her big eyes curiously surveying the room.
"A strong person like you… actually lives in such a small room?" Toki exclaid in surprise after observing for a mont.
"This is where I work and handle affairs." Kenji recovered, glanced at Toki, and then casually waved his hand.
"Alright, I'll arrange for soone to prepare a room for you. You can go rest now."
Toki heard the implied "sending off" in his words, pursed her lips, turned around, and skipped out of the room. This deanor was quite girlish, much closer to the Toki in Kenji's impression.
'Could it be that she matured after being deceived by human traffickers after ti travelling?' Kenji watched her retreating figure, his expression thoughtful.
Following Kenji's instructions, Toki was eventually assigned the largest room on the warship.
During this ti, although Toki was out of his sight, Kenji was not worried.
After all, his Future Vision ability could now see scenes within the next few tens of minutes. This ant he had already seen Toki's actions for the next few tens of minutes in advance. As long as she didn't use the Ti-Ti Fruit to travel away, he would let her be.
In the evening, after the Marine personnel finished dinner, everyone bathed and returned to their cabins to rest, except for those on night watch.
Kenji also returned to his bedroom. He pushed open the door and, as expected, saw Toki's startled face.
"You, what are you doing here?" Toki asked, looking surprised and suspicious.
"It's already very late. Aren't you going back to your own room to sleep?"
"Go back?"
Kenji smiled, walked into the room, closed the door, and sat down on a chair. He looked at Toki, who was slightly tense on the bed not far away, and nodded, saying, "This is my room."
"Your room… huh?" Toki was stunned at first, then reacted.
"No wonder this room is so big…"
"Hehe, actually, the ordinary soldiers' rooms aren't small either. This warship is a relatively large type." Kenji explained with a chuckle.
"Hmm, but, you already gave this room to …" Toki frowned, looking at Kenji with an innocent expression.
"I'm not trying to take the room from you." Kenji said, spreading his hands.
"It's just that all the other rooms on the warship are full, so I still have to co back here to rest."
"Hmm, you sleep on the bed. I'll be casual, sitting on the chair is fine."
For Kenji, resting on the floor or sleeping on the bed had no impact on his physical recovery, it was just a matter of comfort.
But in Toki's view: Was this about where to rest? Staying in my sleeping room like this is very presumptuous.
Fortunately, there was no internet or XXX books in this world, and Toki hadn't awakened any independent, self-reliant, new-era thinking.
Otherwise, she would definitely post sothing like: Speechless, guys, I encountered a pervert.
And the post would probably beco a trending topic in minutes.
"This guy…" She gritted her teeth, staring intently at Kenji, her eyes as if they could devour him, but she was helpless.
After all, that young Admiral could instantly incapacitate her.
