The content of this mission was very simple. Kenji read it in a glance, then a look of doubt appeared in his eyes.
[Mission (Main): Successfully land in Wano Country!]
[Reward: Upgrade a random owned trait 2 times!]
"Land in Wano Country? Not search Wano Country?" Kenji frowned slightly, then looked back at the mission reward.
"Two trait upgrades as a reward? This doesn't seem like the reward for a simple mission."
Within the system's judgment rules, mission rewards are linked to difficulty.
If it was just a simple entry into a country, the system giving one trait upgrade as a reward would be considered generous.
Kenji knew that with the system's nature, it wouldn't give extra rewards for no reason.
"So, the system is judging that the upcoming journey into Wano Country will be somewhat difficult?" Kenji guessed, a cold sneer appearing on his lips.
"Indeed, Wano Country's location is very special. It might be quite difficult for an ordinary Rear Admiral leading a team to arrive there unscathed…"
"However, no matter how difficult, it wouldn't be to the point of not even being able to touch the national gate, right?"
"This system is looking down on me a bit too much."
Kenji stood at the bow of the ship, gazing out, preparing to personally verify the system's judgment.
At the same time, he informed Kuzan of the true destination of this trip, and Kuzan then informed the other personnel on the Marine warship.
"Kenji-san, are we really going to Wano Country this time? That legendary Land of Samurai?"
After giving the order, Kuzan scurried back to Kenji's side, rubbing his hands incessantly, seemingly a bit excited.
"I've long heard that the samurai of Wano Country are very famous and powerful."
"Heh, in this trip, I must see with my own eyes how powerful those samurai really are."
Kuzan spoke while looking ahead, his face full of impatience.
Seeing this, Kenji's heart stirred, thinking he should give this kid some intensity.
Soon after, a "whoosh" sound suddenly came from afar, sounding like water continuously falling into the sea.
The Marine warship sailed swiftly, and as it drew closer, a boundless, gigantic waterfall appeared before everyone.
The soldiers strained their necks, looking up at the top of the waterfall, but could not see the source of the water, exclaiming in admiration, "Whoa, what a huge waterfall!"
The shock in their hearts made them instinctively want to say something, but they ultimately suffered from a lack of culture, only able to express their feelings with "Holy crap" and "Awesome."
Kenji looked at the massive waterfall in the distance that seemed to connect heaven and earth, and wanted to recite a poem, but then remembered that everyone around him were semi-illiterates who only understood combat, so he simply gave up.
Once everyone on the ship recovered from their shock, Kenji ordered to set sail and climb the waterfall.
Soon, the Marine warship ascended against the torrent of the waterfall, quickly reaching the very top.
"Strange, this isn't very difficult." The smooth ascent of the waterfall made Kenji somewhat puzzled.
He knew that the reason Wano Country had been able to maintain its isolation for many years was due to its unique geographical advantages, similar to Amazon Lily.
The difference was that Amazon Lily used Calm Belt as a barrier, while Wano Country utilized these extremely steep cliffs and waterfalls as geographical barriers.
In reality, even though Kenji's Marine warship could ascend the waterfall so easily, it was because this Marine warship was an Admiral's flagship.
For ordinary Marine warships and merchant ships, these cliffs and waterfalls were an insurmountable chasm.
If one could successfully pass this chasm, then they could basically proceed directly to Wano Country along the inland sea.
"Hmm, successfully passed!" Finally, the Marine warship climbed to the top of the waterfall, about to enter the inland sea.
Kenji was about to receive the mission reward, but then suddenly perceived a hint of danger.
"This feeling is…" He released his Observation Haki in confusion.
The Super Gold Observation Haki instantly perceived the situation from an extreme distance.
Then, a large amount of chaotic auras appeared within Kenji's perception range, with two of them being the most powerful.
What slightly surprised Kenji was that some of these auras were actually quite familiar to him.
"I don't have any acquaintances in Wano Country."
"Hmm, no, this aura… it's Whitebeard, Edward Newgate!"
Kenji quickly recognized the other party's identity through their aura.
"Strange, what is Whitebeard doing here? At this point in time… it's not yet the right time, is it?" Kenji muttered to himself, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Kuzan, who was beside him, didn't hear clearly and turned his head, looking over with a puzzled gaze.
The next moment, exclamations of surprise suddenly rose and fell on the Marine warship.
"What is that? Is it a tsunami?"
"Oh no! It is a massive tsunami!"
"All personnel, act immediately! Prepare to face the massive tsunami!"
The lookout soldiers on the Marine warship were the first to discover the anomaly, and the news quickly spread throughout the Marine warship, prompting all officers and soldiers to immediately mobilize.
In less than half a minute, all personnel on the ship were in position, but most of the soldiers still showed panic on their faces.
In fact, most of the soldiers on the ship were Marineford elites, who had spent years at sea fighting pirates and had encountered various harsh weather conditions and disasters.
However, they had never seen such a terrifying massive tsunami as the one before them. It surpassed the scope of a natural disaster.
"It's even more terrifying than the tsunami caused by the last volcanic eruption."
Just as the atmosphere grew heavy, Kenji suddenly turned his head and said to Kuzan, "Kuzan, how about you deal with the massive tsunami? Do you have confidence?"
"Huh? Me?"
Kuzan was startled by the question, glancing at the colossal tsunami rolling in from afar, almost obscuring the sky.
Then, he turned back to Kenji, his face full of disbelief. "No way? You want me to handle the massive tsunami?"
"Can't you do it?" Kenji eyed him askance.
Kuzan hesitated, then honestly shook his head and admitted, "I really can't do it."
"Oh."
Kenji's tone was flat, and he casually withdrew his gaze, as if he had already anticipated Kuzan's answer.
Actually, he was just trying to scare Kuzan, and also give a bit of a warning. 'You're such a weakling, how can you have the nerve to stay on this ship and follow me?'
After all, he hadn't intended for Kuzan to make a move in the first place. Een if Kuzan dared to, he wouldn't agree.
If he failed to resolve the tsunami, whether Kuzan died or not wasn't the main point, but what if the warship was destroyed by the massive tsunami? Wouldn't that be a huge problem?!
"Alright, step aside, kid." Kenji waved his hand, signaling Kuzan to retreat.
Then, he took out the greatsword gifted by the Elbaph Giant Tribe.
Since Kenji wasn't using [Giant Bloodline] at the moment, his body remained around two meters tall, making this giant-exclusive sword appear a bit too large in his hand.
Although wielding the greatsword was a bit awkward, Kenji still successfully unleashed a strike.
Zzzzz—!
In an instant, a slash tore through the air, enveloped in dark red light, and swiftly slashed towards the giant tsunami wave, with arcs lingering all the way.
