Actually, Kenji didn't care much about 'never looking back at an explosion' and had no intention of showing off.
He just turned around a step ahead, as if he couldn't be bothered to see Charlotte's appearance after being attacked.
After all, he already knew the battle's outcome in advance.
This battle outcome wasn't something he saw using his Future Vision. Rather, it was due to an unavoidable reminder.
"This broken system, a completion prompt that fills the entire field of vision, it's impossible not to see it." Kenji thought, feeling quite annoyed as he looked at the glowing text occupying the center of his vision.
"This is practically a spoiler."
"Oh, speaking of which, my Future Vision can also spoil things…."
Kenji shook his head, his attention shifting to the system prompt content in his vision.
[You used the power of God's Domain - Conqueror's Haki to instantly suppress the renowned pirate, Charlotte !]
[The power you displayed has been unanimously recognized by the Marine officers and soldiers present. The news has been sent back to Marineford, and the Marine high-ranking officials have decided to promote you to Rear Admiral again exceptionally. The announcement will be made on a selected date!]
[Mission (Main): Subdue or conquer Charlotte ! —Overcompleted!]
[Reward Increased!]
[Reward has been changed to: Upgrade a random owned trait 5 times!]
[Reward being distributed...]
[Your Swordsmanship (Light Gold) has beenupgraded... Gold... Dark Gold... Super Gold!]
[Your Swordsmanship trait has reached the highest rarity!]
"Hmm, in the system's timeline, I've finally been promoted to Rear Admiral, huh?"
Kenji finished reading the mission prompts carefully and found it a little amusing.
"And it's an exceptional promotion…"
Kenji found it a bit hard to contain himself. With the combat power he had displayed in so many missions, he was already sufficient to serve as an Admiral in the system's timeline.
However, he knew that if it were according to the normal Marine internal promotion system, unless there were special circumstances like a World Conscription, promoting him to Admiral would be impossible.
Otherwise, a newly enlisted Marine soldier, even if their strength was outstanding and they were appreciated and promoted by high-ranking Marine officials, would still need several years to be promoted to Rear Admiral.
Just like Koby, who was personally mentored by 'Marine Hero' Garp and even considered his successor.
But even after two and a half years of service, Koby still hadn't been promoted to Rear Admiral, not even a Commodore.
Of course, the biggest difference between humans and machines is adaptability.
Kenji felt that if he started as a soldier, in reality, after demonstrating great power, he believed that Kong would definitely find a way to circumvent those so-called regulations, and it wouldn't be impossible to add an additional Admiral slot just for him.
In contrast, the system was slightly rigid, adhering strictly to military rank promotions.
"Heh, this isn't bad either." Kenji stroked his chin, a thought suddenly occurring to him.
"The difficulty of missions issued by the system is primarily judged based on military rank."
"The lower the military rank, the relatively higher the mission difficulty, and the greater the rewards…"
Kenji recalled the missions issued since the system was activated.
Especially missions related to top-tier powerhouses.
If the system judged Kenji as an Admiral when he undertook those Legendary Pirate-related missions, then the post-mission rewards would certainly not be as generous.
"But this time's mission reward… is a bit low, isn't it?"
Kenji brought up the previous Charlotte related mission and reward from Elbaph, frowning as he compared them.
"The focus of the last mission… was to resolve the trouble in Elbaph."
"This time it's to subdue or conquer... so for both missions, the system gave some leeway."
Actually, for both of these missions, the system judged Kenji to be a Marine Commodore, and the missions issued had leeway so as not to fall into a dead end.
Even if Kenji was truly only at the Commodore-level in terms of combat power, as long as the method was correct, he could still complete the mission.
For example, previously, when he first arrived in Elbaph, Charlotte immediately took a liking to him. Kenji could then take advantage of Charlotte's attitude to lure her out of Elbaph, and he would naturally complete the mission.
It was the same this time. Furthermore, if Kenji lowered his stance and satisfied Charlotte's desires with himself... then there was even a slight chance for the "conquer" judgment.
"Forget it, I'll find opportunities to farm rewards later."
Kenji shook his head, planning to win by quantity.
Low reward for a single mission? Then just farm more times!
Anyway, the system never expressed opposition. No opposition means it's not a bug.
"So, [Swordsmanship] is Super Gold now." Kenji's gaze swept over, seeing the dazzling golden trait, and immediately felt an itch in his hands.
"Perfect, the Giant Sword Technique I just learned can now unleash even greater power…"
After holding back for a while, Kenji finally suppressed the agitation in his heart.
Just then, a new system prompt appeared again, drawing his attention.
[Remaining random trait upgrade attempts: 2!]
[Re-selecting trait...]
[Your Future Vision (Blue) has been upgraded... Dark Blue... Super Blue!]
[Current Future Vision (Super Blue)!]
[Name: Kenji]
[Traits: Armament Haki (Super Gold), Observation Haki (Super Gold), Conqueror's Haki - God's Domain (Light Blue), Physique - Human (Super Gold), Hand-to-HandCombat (Light Gold), Swordsmanship (Super Gold), Sea King Power (Light Blue), Superspeed Regeneration (Dark Purple), Steel Balloon (Super Purple), Future Vision (Super Blue), Berserk (Light Purple), Giant Bloodline (Light Gold)]
"[Future Vision] upgraded…." Kenji silently tested it, spending nearly half an hour.
This was because he needed to compare the foreseen images with the actual real-world images to more accurately calculate the specific limit of his Future Vision.
"Hmm, it's roughly within ten minutes." After a long while, Kenji obtained the comparison result.
"This level… is considered relatively long, right?"
Kenji recalled the Future Vision abilities of the strong individuals he remembered.
Rayleigh said that people who could foresee the future were extremely rare.
However, among top-tier powerhouses, more than a few possessed the Future Vision ability.
It wasn't that Rayleigh was bragging or trying to save face.
In reality, compared to the vast population base of the entire world, even if all top-tier powerhouses were included, they would still be a minority within a minority of the world's total population.
Only one in a million might possess Conqueror's Haki, and a Future Vision ability user might not appear even among ten million people.
For these extremely rare individuals who awakened the Future Vision ability, they could only see a few to a dozen seconds into the future.
In any case, less than a minute, with a few stronger ones possibly approaching a minute.
The future scenes Kenji could currently see had already reached around ten minutes.
However, he also realized that around ten minutes might be the limit that [Future Vision] could reach within the Blue-level rarity.
