Chapter 38: [BONUS 5] Seeing More Than 1 Minute Into The Future
Sanjuan Wolf was terrified, actually stopping in place and allowing the jailers and guards to swarm him, throwing a pile of Sea Stone handcuffs all over his body.
Soon, hundreds of Sea Stone handcuffs of various sizes completely locked down his enormous body, and he couldn't move at all.
Actually, it didn't even need to be this troublesome.
If they had waited a bit longer, the potent poison inside Sanjuan Wolf would have taken effect, and he would have become docile on his own.
"…When did you gain such power?" Jack looked at Kenji, who was walking straight back, his inner shock evident.
"I originally thought you just dyed your hair… You must have gained some powerful Devil Fruit ability, right?"
"I remember, there seems to be a Devil Fruit with this kind of effect…"
On the way back to the office, Jack chattered incessantly, refusing to believe that Kenji hadn't consumed a Devil Fruit.
He had known Kenji for more than just a year or two, and he had a deep understanding and judgment of the latter's strength and even talent.
And he was quite confident, or rather, arrogant, a personality that rarely doubted his own judgment.
Kenji merely smiled along the way, offering no response to Jack's various questions. This made Jack even more suspicious.
Soon, the two returned to the office, and Kenji continued to sip his tea, which was still warm.
"This black tea of yours is very ordinary." Kenji commented after a small sip.
"Hmph! This is Impel Down, it's already not easy to even have tea…" Jack responded with a cold laugh, continuing to busy himself.
He still had to deal with the aftermath of the prison escape.
After all, this was a legitimate prison institution, even the world's largest prison, the necessary procedures were still in place.
Kenji wasn't in a hurry and silently brought up the system interface.
Lines of glowing text eagerly jumped out.
[You single-handedly defeated Sanjuan Wolf, shocking everyone in Impel Down!]
[Mission (Side): Assist Impel Down's administrator in subduing the rioting prisoner - Sanjuan Wolf! — Overcompleted!]
[Reward Increased!]
[Reward has been changed to: Upgrade the lowest rarity owned trait 5 times!]
[Reward being distributed...]
The text suddenly paused here.
Kenji surveyed his current traits and found that two traits were of 'Light White' rarity.
[Iron Body (Light White)] and [Future Vision (Light White)].
"The reward is to upgrade the lowest rarity trait and now there are two with the same…" Kenji's eyes flickered, silently anticipating the next development.
"Maybe it will glitch…"
Just then, the text in his vision changed, and two options appeared.
[Currently owned lowest rarity Traits: Iron Body (Light White); Future Vision (Light White)! Please select any one of these traits for upgrade!]
"It didn't glitch, huh?" Kenji was a little disappointed.
The system clearly wasn't allowing glitches. There was no situation where all lowest rarity traits would be upgraded.
"However, I can choose the trait to upgrade within a limited range."
If a successful glitch was a huge surprise, then the current option to choose which trait to upgrade within a defined range was a small surprise.
Kenji looked at the two selectable traits in his vision, feeling somewhat indecisive, as both traits seemed quite strong.
Finally, he simply chose the one that looked more pleasing to his eye, based on his preference: [Future Vision].
[Future Vision (Light White) has been upgraded 5 times to Future Vision (Blue)!]
---
[Name: Kenji]
[Traits: Armament Haki (Light Gold), Observation Haki (Light Gold), Conqueror's Haki (Dark Blue), Physique (Light Gold), Hand-to-Hand Combat (Light Gold), Swordsmanship (Super Blue), Sea Beast Power (Light Blue), Superspeed Regeneration (Light Blue), Iron Body (Light White), Future Vision (Blue), Berserk (Light White)]
Kenji scanned the status of those traits, then secretly used the power of Observation Haki 'Future Vision.
It seems the prediction range has increased significantly, it should be beyond the one-minute range.
Since the future hadn't arrived yet, Kenji could only roughly estimate the prediction time range at this point.
However, what was certain was that the advanced [Future Vision] had greatly increased in power.
Previously, within the white rarity range, the time that [Future Vision] could predict was basically within one minute.
No matter how much the trait was upgraded, as long as it remained white, regardless of light or super white, the predicted time range would only revolve within one minute.
Of course, after awakening the power of 'Future Vision,' Kenji had also been taking time to train his prediction ability every day.
It was just that the training time was a bit short, and the effect wasn't very obvious. The strength of [Future Vision] hadn't changed at all.
"Huh? The prediction time range seems to be more than one minute."
A minute had already passed, but Kenji still didn't see the future from the predicted scene in reality.
Time passed little by little, one minute, two minutes… until three minutes later, the previously predicted future finally appeared.
Clatter!
Kenji shattered the teacup.
"Hmm?"
Jack, across from him, heard the noise, turned to look, and immediately became greatly annoyed, "Even if the tea tastes a bit off, you don't have to smash the cup, do you?"
"Haha, if I said it was an accident… would you believe me?"
…What do you think?
Facing Jack's questioning gaze, which seemed to say, 'Do you think I'm an idiot?', Kenji smiled quite happily.
Although the other party didn't believe him, he really didn't do it on purpose.
"It's getting late. Regarding the matter of borrowing Magellan earlier…" Kenji didn't want to wait any longer and proactively brought up the subject.
"This matter is very difficult to handle…" Jack still didn't want to release him, until he saw the fist-sized gem Kenji took out again.
"Hmm, but it's not impossible."
Ultimately, after some 'friendly' communication, Impel Down Warden Jack and Admiral Kenji unanimously agreed.
Magellan would be lent out to enhance Marineford's combat power!
Jack even called Magellan over, gave the order in person, signed the written document, and thoughtfully added a sentence to the document.
Seconded personnel Magellan will only obey the orders of 'Shirojishi Admiral' Kenji.
After all procedures were completed, Jack personally stood up to send Kenji and his party off.
