"…It's decided. I'll have piggy Limi, Kyomi, and that other one… a few of them take care of him together."
After making the pleasant decision, Kenji looked up at Oden, who was rapidly falling from mid-air, and nodded with a smile.
"So many courtesans to serve you, you're quite blessed, aren't you, kid?"
"Ugh, no!"
Oden clearly heard Kenji's mumbling and immediately performed a medical miracle.
Not only could he speak, but his voice was also loud, showing no signs of being severely injured.
"Heh heh, objection overruled!" Kenji's smile was gentle, but his refusal was merciless.
"As the one being helped, you can't be greedy. These arrangements for you took quite a bit of thought from me."
'Took thought? More like you're intentionally targeting me.'
Oden grumbled inwardly, but at this moment, he was severely injured and could barely walk freely, so he could only plead.
"Don't send me to the pleasure district… At least don't let those pig-like guys touch me…"
"Hmm? You look down on them?" Kenji raised an eyebrow, deliberately asking back.
Oden, who was falling from above, was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's not that I look down on them, I just… I'm worried about being crushed by them…"
"Heh heh!" Kenji chuckled, noncommittal.
Oden grew anxious and pleaded repeatedly, "Don't find them… Please be good to me, I beg you! I'll do anything!"
"Oh?" Kenji's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
Then, he reached out and grabbed the descending Oden, his gaze sweeping him up and down, causing Oden's hair to stand on end, thinking, 'Could it be…'
However, before Oden could figure anything out, Kenji had already said with a chuckle, "Since you have sincerely requested, then I shall mercifully help you… Hmm, what you just said… you weren't just saying it casually, were you?"
Seeing Oden nod, Kenji nodded in satisfaction. Then, Kenji, like carrying a chick, grabbed Oden and walked into the pleasure district.
After entrusting Oden to a group of courtesans, Kenji ascended to the second floor.
"Hmm?"
As he was going up the stairs, a flash of light suddenly appeared in his vision.
Looking closely, it was lines of system prompts. New missions had been released without warning.
"Is this damn system doing it on purpose? Last time it released missions… it always chose the most inappropriate times."
Kenji cursed inwardly, then looked up at a fragrant room on the second floor before withdrawing his gaze and finding a quiet place to carefully examine the mission content.
[You successfully survived until the end of the battle and noticed that Whitebeard left in a hurry.]
[You learned through intelligence that Golden Lion Shiki is attacking the Moby Dick. You guess that Whitebeard's departure is related to this incident!]
[After careful consideration, you believe that two Legendary Pirates may have fought, so you decide to report the relevant information to Marineford!]
[Mission (Side): Report the conflict between Whitebeard and Golden Lion Shiki to Marineford!]
[Reward: Upgrade a random owned trait 2 times!]
"…That's it?"
Kenji read all the content carefully and was speechless.
He had initially thought it was some extraordinary mission, seeing the lengthy system prompts.
But it was just reporting information to Marineford? Anyone with hands can do that, right? Oh, and probably a mouth too.
'A simple reporting mission, why wasn't it released directly when Newgate ran away earlier?'
The more Kenji thought about it, the more he felt the damn system was deliberately causing trouble.
"And, a mission like this…? The reward is quite good, though."
Kenji's gaze swept down, finally stopping at the reward content.
Upgrade a random owned trait 2 times – the reward doesn't seem like much, but one must remember, this is merely a reporting mission.
How much effort does it take to pick up a Den Den Mushi and report? It's easy and risk-free…
"Hmm."
Speaking of danger, Kenji's heart suddenly stirred, and he said thoughtfully, "Could there be some hidden danger within this mission?"
He re-examined the mission content but still couldn't see any danger within it, so he simply shook his head and closed the system interface.
"Forget it, it's just a reporting mission anyway." Kenji reached out and took out a Den Den Mushi.
This time, because he was going deep into Wano Country, he brought a Den Den Mushi with him, intending for it to be convenient for Kuzan and other subordinates to contact him at any time. It came in handy now, saving a lot of trouble.
The Den Den Mushi quickly connected, and the authoritative voice of Kong came from the other end.
Kenji didn't waste words, directly and briefly explaining about encountering Whitebeard and the situation where Whitebeard might now be fighting Shiki.
"…What's going on? Why would they appear in such a place?"
The voice on the other end of the Den Den Mushi sounded very shocked.
"Fortunately, Wano Country is not a World Government affiliated country… That's the only good news."
"But since you're still there, how to handle the situation there… that's up to you to decide."
"But it's best to observe the movements of those two guys up close…"
Kong's words were somewhat contradictory. He just said to let Kenji decide for himself, then immediately offered guidance.
Fortunately, no matter what his attitude was, it had no impact on Kenji.
Because he had already made up his mind, and had even dispatched Kuzan and others to observe the battle.
After a period of communication, their conversation came to an end.
"…Oh, I almost forgot to tell you."
Before the call ended, Kong suddenly brought up another matter. To be precise, it was to convey an order.
"An order came from the World Government, requesting that you lead a team to complete the Heavenly Tribute transportation for the next two years, and all preparation work for that matter…"
Before Kong could finish speaking, Kenji already let out an impatient sneer, "Kong, there's no need to talk about boring things, that will only waste our time."
"You should know very well that I will not execute such a mission."
"…Sigh! Alright, I understand." Kong sighed, said no more, and after a brief instruction, hung up the call.
Kenji looked at the Den Den Mushi in his palm, recalling Kong's words, his eyes thoughtful.
"That matter… is it coming soon again?"
