I've Already Become An Admiral And Now The System Shows Up?

The surprise Kenji felt this time was far greater than when he received the promotion to Admiral.

It was so surprising that it made him a little flustered.

Just a few chats, receiving a gift, and the system mission was completed so easily?

And it was overcompleted. The original reward of 3 assignable upgrade opportunities increased to 5.

5 upgrades would give Kenji a lot of controllable space.

"It seems that this time the reward was only linked to the enemy's strength and didn't judge too many other factors."

Kenji mentally reviewed the entire process of this system mission, from issuance to completion, trying to find some patterns regarding system missions.

"Based on past missions, the system first assesses my strength, then compares it with the enemy's strength, and after comprehensive consideration, determines the mission difficulty and gives corresponding rewards."

"Moreover, the strength the system assesses me with should be related to the main mission."

Kenji recalled how he had consecutively defeated Supernovas on Sabaody Archipelago.

If the system were to fully assess his strength based on his past combat achievements, then the main mission of the graduation assessment would not have appeared later.

Clearly, at that time, the system judged that he had not yet officially graduated from Marine School, and its assessment of his strength was likely that of a relatively excellent and strong student.

This point can be somewhat confirmed by the difficulty of the side mission triggered when Kenji later encountered Byrnndi World.

He had already consecutively defeated Supernovas, yet the minimum completion requirement for the side mission was merely to safely retreat and survive against Byrnndi World.

The side mission triggered after encountering the Roger Pirates not long ago was a similar situation.

However, when he encountered the Roger Pirates, Kenji was already officially recognized by the system as the strongest student who had just graduated from Marine School.

If he were asked to retreat safely from the Roger Pirates with the strength of the 'strongest student' from Marine School, that would indeed be quite difficult.

A casual 'greeting' from a Legendary Pirate is not something a so-called 'strongest student' can withstand.

So, it's highly probable that the system had already secretly determined that 'the strongest student' Kenji could not complete this side mission, and the small chance of success depended on Roger's mood.

If he was in a good mood, he might just ignore him.

However, Kenji, by 'showing his face,' easily completed the mission, even going above and beyond, which the system probably hadn't predicted beforehand.

And this led Kenji to a clearer speculation.

"Perhaps the system does not judge the interpersonal relationships between opposing sides?"

From Kenji's perspective, he and Roger were in an antagonistic relationship, and he didn't feel he had a deep friendship with Roger. However, Roger was quite respectful of him.

Clearly, the system did not judge Roger's attitude towards Kenji as a factor influencing the mission.

"Hmm, I need to confirm this further." Kenji's eyes lit up.

He planned to find an opportunity in the future to try and exploit this loophole, which wasn't really a loophole, in the system.

When you see a sheep, you definitely have to shear it!

Subsequently, Kenji collected his thoughts and refocused his attention on the Traits in his field of vision, which shimmered with various shades of color.

With just one glance, he was drawn to [Observation Haki]—

This super-purple rarity trait was so dark purple it appeared almost black, looking dull, while next to it were two golden, shimmering Traits.

In comparison, it seemed rather pitiful.

"Just one level away from advancement, it's you!"

Kenji mentally controlled his thoughts, clicking the '+' sign after [Observation Haki].

This time, I'll light it up for you!

The dark purplish-black trait flickered slightly, then rapidly emitted a golden light.

The third gold trait: [Observation Haki (Light Gold)]!

"Not bad, the Observation Haki's perception range has increased quite a bit..."

Kenji tested the strength of the advanced Observation Haki, its perception range had nearly doubled.

"Oh? This is..."

He was using Observation Haki to detect creatures in the nearby sea when he suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

A look of astonishment appeared in his eyes, as if he had seen something strange.

At this moment, in Kenji's vision, a scene of the captain's cabin appeared, and the 'Kenji' in the scene suddenly stood up quickly.

The next moment, Kenji stood up abruptly, his face full of shock.

This scene was identical to the one in his vision a moment ago.

"That's right, this should be the special ability that only top-tier Observation Haki can awaken—Future Vision!"

Kenji focused his attention and tested it several more times, confirming that he could indeed foresee future scenes, though very briefly, they did exist.

"I didn't expect to awaken such power... Even the world's top powerhouses may not be able to awaken this power." Kenji was genuinely surprised.

Looking across the entire world, among countless powerhouses, even among the small handful standing at the peak, few possess the ability of 'Future Vision.'

Statistically, this ability is rarer than Conqueror's Haki, which appears in one in a million people.

To awaken 'Future Vision,' one only needs to train their Observation Haki to the highest level, and then... it's a matter of luck.

Those with bad luck, like Rayleigh, the 'Right Hand of the Pirate King,' can only say, 'It is said that some people's Observation Haki can foresee the future,' while he himself wasn't able to possess it.

"Hmm... my current limit for Future Vision is roughly ten seconds." Kenji roughly tested it.

Although the result was not entirely satisfactory, fortunately, this ability can be trained and improved.

"Testing by myself is probably not very accurate. I'll try it again during the next battle."

Just as Kenji was considering who to use as a test subject, a system prompt appeared.

[Your Observation Haki has advanced to Light Gold!]

[Observation Haki has triggered derivative evolution... New trait generated! Future Vision!]

[Future Vision: A power that only a few can awaken when their Observation Haki reaches the pinnacle, allowing them to foresee scenes from the future for a period of time!]

"It really is 'Future Vision!" Kenji nodded inwardly.

With the system's official confirmation, there was no longer any need to doubt.

At this point, Kenji turned his attention to the rewarded upgrade chances. He still has 4 upgrade opportunities.

With 4 chances, even light-colored traits can be directly advanced to the next level.

"Assignable upgrades should not be wasted on low-rarity traits."

"It's best to choose a purple one and directly use 4 upgrades to advance it!"

Kenji scanned his remaining Traits. Besides the three gold Traits, the only purple trait left was [Hand-to-Hand Combat].
