"Is this... the second completion of the mission? Two rewards for the same mission?"
Kenji raised an eyebrow, looking at the mission completion prompt in his vision with some surprise.
"Is it a similar situation to the first stage of the previous choice mission?... Doesn't look much like it."
Not long ago, in the first stage of the choice mission, Kenji managed to get two mission rewards by a method similar to glitching.
However, both rewards from that mission were only basic rewards, truly just two "guaranteed minimums."
This time, both sets of rewards were over-the-top, and the content of each reward was more generous than the last.
"The two rewards have different contents, it doesn't look like a glitched reward duplication."
Kenji stroked his chin, vaguely feeling that the second stage choice mission was quite special, and it was possible that its reward mechanism inherently had double rewards.
"Hmm, looking at the mission content, it's true, it just asks me to make a choice in the situation I'm facing, but it doesn't say I can only choose once."
"No, no, throughout the entire incident, I only made one choice."
"So... this is still a glitch!"
Kenji found no abnormalities on the surface of the mission, so he considered it more deeply, analyzing it in conjunction with the mission content and reward prompts.
"The system's two reward prompts have different descriptive contents." Kenji brought up the previous reward prompt for comparison.
"Hmm, the first reward... was because I chose to help the Giant warriors."
"The second reward was because I chose to act against the God's Knights and World Government personnel."
"These two choices can, to some extent, be seen as an expression of stance..."
Thinking of this, Kenji couldn't help but be slightly startled, and at the same time, a look of realization appeared in his eyes.
He understood what the system's constant prompt about "influencing destiny" in this choice mission meant.
"Because I provoked 'big figures,' it might affect destiny." Kenji nodded thoughtfully.
In reality, if it was just helping the Elbaph Giant Tribe, the impact wouldn't be significant.
But saving Harald and a group of Giant high-ranking officials from the God's Knights and CP0, that impact was quite significant.
Because acting against the God's Knights, at least in the system's judgment, was considered an act of expressing personal stance.
Perhaps the system thought: If you dare to beat the God's Knights today, you'll probably dare to attack Holy Land - Mary Geoise tomorrow, and the day after that, it goes without saying, you might directly charge at the Five Elders.
"Is the system judging that I'm about to 'defect'?" Kenji, having clarified the whole matter, curved his lips into a smile.
"So that's it, defecting to become an enemy of the world's greatest darkness, in every sense, would indeed have a huge impact."
"The system's judgment isn't wrong. If I defect and become an enemy of those who secretly control the world, it will inevitably affect the course of history..."
"Hmm, with such a huge impact, no wonder the second mission reward increased so much! It went directly from a random upgrade to a trait evolution!"
Kenji suddenly laughed, he laughed at the dog system's 'recklessness and lack of wisdom'.
"The system's plan was quite good."
"Too bad, the choice to start a war is mine! Defeating the great villain and saving the world isn't suitable for me."
Putting in all that effort to fight villains and save the world, only for the uninformed people to be incited by the villains and turn around to furiously denounce you, ultimately doing a thankless job—Kenji was all too familiar with this script.
Especially if there were no system rewards...
Regarding this, Kenji's attitude remained consistent: such thankless 'positive energy' deeds should be left to those fated individuals.
As for the potential troubles from provoking the God's Knights this time... Kenji didn't think there would be much trouble.
As the saying goes, 'He who steals a hook is executed, he who steals a nation becomes a lord.' In essence, it depends on how much power you possess.
In Earth, power comes from the collective, but in this world, great power belongs to the individual.
Throughout the world, the three Legendary Pirates and many powerful pirates like Charlotte are enough to give the World Government's Five Elders headaches.
Even in the future, to deal with an elderly Whitebeard, they would have to find a way to lure him to their headquarters for an encirclement and annihilation.
And Kenji's current strength is capable of suppressing a Legendary Pirate.
Furthermore, he is an Admiral, which means he is considered one of the World Government's own.
So, not using "their own people" but pushing him out just to add another powerful enemy?
By all appearances, the Five Elders don't seem like they would 'lose their minds.'
Of course, if they really make a move, Kenji naturally won't hold back. With his current strength, he won't have much trouble going anywhere he wants.
In fact, Kenji currently preferred to stay in the Marine. After all, he had entered Marine School at sixteen and had some affection for it.
What's more, as an Admiral, he can easily apply for a generous activity fund periodically.
He can then use this fund to build his "New Marine" and for entertainment.
"Hmm, regarding acting against the God's Knights and CP0, I feel the real-world impact might not be as great as the impact in the system's timeline."
Kenji repeatedly scanned the system prompt before him, frowning slightly.
"In the system's timeline, I'm just a Marine Commodore, and acting against the God's Knights with such an identity..."
"I wonder what impact it will have on the system's timeline later."
Just as Kenji was frowning in thought, the interface in his vision suddenly flickered with light.
Then, a golden trait turned white right before Kenji's eyes.
"What's going on? Can trait rarity degrade? Is the system trying to cause trouble again?!"
Kenji was startled by this sudden change and quickly looked over.
A line of brand new text appeared.
Among them, 'Fusion Evolution' was highlighted in red, particularly conspicuous.
"Hmm, speaking of which, this time it's 'Fusion Evolution'... Is there any difference from ordinary evolution?" Kenji's eyes showed surprise, and he continued to check.
[Fusion Evolution reward issued... ]
[Your Conqueror's Haki (Super Gold) and Pressure of All Things (Light Blue) have fused!]
[Your Conqueror's Haki has completely materialized! Truly entering God's Domain!]
[New trait generated! Conqueror's Haki - God's Domain (Light White)!]
[Name: Kenji]
[Traits: Armament Haki (Super Gold), Observation Haki (Super Gold), Conqueror's Haki - God's Domain (Light White), Physique - Human (Super Gold), Hand-to-Hand Combat (Light Gold), Swordsmanship (Light Gold), Sea King Power (Light White), Superspeed Regeneration (Dark Purple), Steel Balloon (Super Purple), Future Vision (Blue), Berserk (Light Purple), Giant Bloodline (Purple)]
"God's Domain? What the hell?" Kenji looked around, feeling that the rarity degradation was a bit of a loss.
"God's Domain Conqueror's Haki, does that mean it transcends humanity?"
"So this is... hmm, does it refer to the 'God of Liberation' level?"
