No one understood Whitebeard's injuries better than Kenji, not even Whitebeard himself.
After all, Whitebeard was a Legendary Pirate, what did he know about getting beaten up?
In fact, everyone, both inside and outside the battlefield, had Observation Haki inferior to Kenji's.
And relying on the powerful perception of his Observation Haki, Kenji knew the severity of the injuries Whitebeard had sustained. He also observed Marco's treatment situation with extreme detail.
It was no exaggeration to say that Kenji probably understood the real-time treatment effects better than Marco, the doctor.
"The legendary Phoenix Fruit…"
At this moment, in Kenji's vision, Whitebeard was like a character in a game, his HP (injuries) rapidly recovering (improving) under Marco's treatment.
Of course, these were all manually calculated data based on Kenji's real-time perception of Whitebeard's physical state.
"The Phoenix Fruit, powerful self-regeneration, and it can also heal others." Kenji compared the Phoenix Fruit's ability to his own Superspeed Regeneration.
In terms of recovery for the ability user himself, Superspeed Regeneration was no weaker than Marco's Phoenix Fruit.
It was just that it couldn't compare in terms of healing others.
Or perhaps, the Phoenix Fruit was just Superspeed Regeneration that could heal others and came with the ability to fly?
"It looks like Newgate should be able to recover his combat strength very soon." Kenji observed and pondered for a moment, then nodded to himself.
"Let him deal with the trouble from Shiki's side."
After his previous Observation Haki scan, Kenji roughly deduced that Shiki had come for Whitebeard's Moby Dick, and he might even just be passing through.
So, once Whitebeard's injuries improved, he would let Whitebeard handle it.
Legendary Pirate against Legendary Great Pirate. Afterward, the Marine could just reap the benefits.
"Speaking of which, this Golden Lion fellow really likes to wander around aimlessly."
Kenji thought of how Shiki would later wander aimlessly in the East Blue sky and coincidentally encounter the Straw Hat Pirates, and he had a vague suspicion.
"Could he be collecting information along the way?"
Kenji shook his head, refuting himself.
No matter what, Shiki was on par with Roger and Whitebeard, one of only three Legendary Pirates in the entire world.
If only considering his subordinate forces and personnel, Shiki was the most powerful, possessing a pirate fleet and numerous subordinates.
For him, a dignified pirate fleet admiral, to personally go and collect information? It was a bit demeaning.
It was like a billionaire boss personally running to the production line to screw in bolts just because orders exploded? It was somewhat comical.
And based on Shiki's temperament and the things he had done, Kenji had reason to suspect that he probably genuinely enjoyed going out and wandering around aimlessly.
The Float-Float Fruit, after all, was one of the very few abilities that allowed free flight without transformation.
If he didn't fly around freely and whimsically, wouldn't he have wasted the fruit?
However, according to Shiki's personality, there was a high probability that when he was "floating" and flying, he would have a general goal or direction.
You thought he was flying aimlessly? He wasn't flying aimlessly.
From several "chance encounters," it was clear he came prepared.
Take this "chance encounter," for example.
Whitebeard had just landed in Wano Country, he didn't come.
Whitebeard fought Oden, he still didn't come.
Whitebeard had been staying on the Wano Country coast for several days, he was still nowhere to be seen.
Then, when Whitebeard pursued Oden deep into Wano Country's interior, he arrived.
"No matter how you look at it, it feels like he deliberately timed things to cause trouble."
Kenji even boldly speculated: Could Shiki have been tracking the Whitebeard Pirates all along?
"A Legendary Pirate tracking along the way, and even going undercover… it shouldn't be that demeaning, right?"
As he thought about it, Kenji even became a little interested.
However, he was too lazy to go personally, preparing to have Kuzan lead a team to check it out and then report back in detail afterward.
Just as Kenji was secretly releasing his Observation Haki to perceive the situation.
In the distance, Whitebeard's injuries rapidly recovered under Marco's "Revival Blue Flames" treatment. The cracks and wounds on his body disappeared, and the aura he emitted returned to its initial peak state.
No matter how one looked at it, Whitebeard seemed to have fully recovered from his injuries and regained his peak combat power.
However, in Kenji's Observation Haki, Whitebeard still carried injuries.
Although the Phoenix Fruit's healing effect was miraculous, the damage Kenji had inflicted on Whitebeard earlier was too high.
Even after treatment, it only reduced Whitebeard's severe injuries to minor ones.
Coupled with Whitebeard's good physique and relatively thick HP, there was basically no problem for him to exert peak combat power with minor injuries.
"It looks like he's fine." Kenji gave Whitebeard one last glance, then stood up, preparing to return to Flower Capital.
As for Shiki's sneak attack? Let Whitebeard worry about that first.
Anyway, if a fight broke out on the coast, Whitebeard's giant whale battleship, the Moby Dick, would be hit first.
"Kenji-san, should we…" At this moment, Kuzan walked over and whispered a suggestion to Kenji.
"We can take advantage of Shiki's attack to attract the attention of the Wano Country samurai, and we can then investigate the information about Pluton…"
Kenji's expression didn't change, but he was actually listening carefully.
All in all, Kuzan's suggestion was not bad.
There was just one problem: if Wano Country's rulers all went to confront Shiki, then who would they inquire about Pluton from?
Pluton, one of the three ancient weapons, wasn't some random stick on the side of the road that anyone on the street would know about.
In reality, the existence of Pluton in Wano Country had always been known only to a very small number of people.
More precisely, only the Kozuki family knew. Other current rulers of Wano Country might not even know about Pluton.
For example, the future Shogun of Wano Country, Orochi. If he knew about Pluton, an ancient weapon that could destroy an island with one shot, then he would probably just set off on a world conquest with Pluton.
After all, Orochi, you couldn't expect him to have any self-awareness.
And although Kuzan's plan wasn't very reliable, Kenji didn't object, only instructing, "Put the matter of Pluton aside for now. Right now, you lead the team to the battlefield on the coast and check the situation."
After speaking, Kenji waved his hand, signaling Kuzan to act.
