"Potential breakthrough?"

After reading the system prompts, Kenji subconsciously turned his gaze to the [Giant Bloodline] trait.

Then, he was surprised to find... his [Giant Bloodline] trait hadn't changed at all. At least, from the data interface, there was no change.

"Before the breakthrough, [Giant Bloodline] was gold, and it's still gold now? Where's the breakthrough?"

Kenji carefully re-examined the system prompts.

Having dealt with the system for so long, he knew a part of the system's situation. In terms of reward content, the system had never given discounts, and even if there was a bug, it was a beneficial bug that gave double rewards.

But at present, the so-called [Giant Bloodline] after the trait breakthrough seemed unchanged.

"Trait breakthrough... So that's it."

Kenji repeatedly checked the prompts, his eyes gradually turning thoughtful.

"Breaking through the original limits of the trait?"

At this moment, Kenji suddenly remembered that before the [Giant Bloodline] trait appeared, he probably had ordinary human bloodline? Or, commoner bloodline?

In short, it definitely couldn't reach the level of a true Giant bloodline.

And among humans, there are strong individuals like Whitebeard whose height continues to grow, approaching the minimum height of the Giant race.

From this point of view, human bloodlines may contain some Giant bloodline.

Perhaps it was intermarriage between the Giants and humans many years ago, or perhaps the Giants and humans originated from the same ancestor...

In general, the Giants and humans belong to the same major biological category, and there is even no reproductive isolation between them.

However, the 'ancient, god-like creature' that the [Giant Bloodline] trait can continue to advance into after upgrading is clearly not like an ordinary human.

"Does this trait breakthrough mean raising the upper limit, and only raising the upper limit?"

"So, to continue advancing, I still have to rely on trait upgrade rewards?"

After Kenji thoroughly understood the essence of this 'trait breakthrough' reward, he was a little disappointed.

Raising the potential upper limit means that his strength can reach a higher level in the future, but there is no immediate gain.

People, after all, subconsciously tend to focus on the present.

When Kenji found that the current [Giant Bloodline] trait's ability had not improved, he immediately lost some interest.

"Forget it, I'll see the effect after [Giant Bloodline] upgrades later and truly advances."

After sweeping over the trait status again, Kenji put away the trait interface.

He wasn't worried that the next reward wouldn't randomly select the [Giant Bloodline] trait.

Because the next main mission is to investigate the ancient weapon 'Pluton', and the reward content is an assignable upgrade.

"Hmm, it seems I need to do a good job on this main mission to investigate Pluton."

Kenji checked the reward content, his gaze lingering on the "Basic Reward" prompt.

"I have to get more than the basic reward, at least three assignable upgrade opportunities."

The current rarity of [Giant Bloodline] is 'Gold', and to advance, it needs to be upgraded three times more.

According to the hints given by the system, the [Giant Bloodline] trait might only undergo a fundamental change after advancing again.

"I will fully participate in the upcoming Pluton investigation mission... I'll just have Kuzan and the others report the investigation progress every three days." Kenji made up his mind to maintain a period of 'diligent work'.

Before this, when the Marine team led by Kuzan gathered intelligence in the Flower Capital, Kenji only listened to a report at least every five days.

Now, it's shortened to three days, almost twice as diligent as before.

"Kuzan's side should have finished the arrest, right?" Kenji used Observation Haki to remotely sense the activity on the coast.

At this moment, on the coast of Kuri, Wano Country.

Shiki had already been escorted to the warship's prison, with no unexpected incidents occurring during the process.

Whitebeard and Marco had both returned to the Moby Dick, the giant warship, and its massive sails were unfurled, indicating they were about to set sail for a long voyage.

Even after the ship had sailed a long distance, the pirates on board were still looking back, gazing at the warship still docked on the coast.

They were also looking towards the deep interior of Wano Country, at Kenji, who had not shown himself from beginning to end, yet was able to suppress the Legendary Pirate.

Of course, at such a long distance, they couldn't see Kenji, but this only further solidified Kenji's terrifying image in their minds.

"Pops, that Marine old man... er, that Marine Admiral Shirojishi, didn't you say his strength was quite ordinary?"

Marco stood agilely on the mast, looking out at the distant Wano Country from above, his face full of confusion.

"But in this battle, the power that he displayed... was very strong! Really strong!"

On the deck, the other crew members all looked at Whitebeard. Marco's question just now was also their own confusion.

"..."

Whitebeard sat on a wide chair, his profound gaze looking towards the distant horizon where the sky and sea met.

He did not respond to Marco's question because he himself had the same question.

He was clearly an old man on the verge of retirement a year ago, but after just one year, he became so strong? So strong that he had to look up to him.

"Did that guy hide his strength before?" Whitebeard murmured softly, not believing that someone could rise so quickly and have their strength skyrocket in a short period of time.

Moreover, he felt he understood Kenji well, having known him from a very long time ago. He had also contributed to Kenji's support of wanderers in those years.

"Heh, learning is endless, I will become even stronger in the future."

Whitebeard took one last look back in the direction of Wano Country, his heart filled with fighting spirit.

On the warship at Kuri Coast, Wano Country, Kuzan had just locked Shiki in a specially made Sea Stone prison cell.

After doing this, before he even walked out of the ship's cabin, Kenji's voice unexpectedly echoed in his ear.

"Kuzan, after you've locked up Shiki, return to the Flower Capital immediately." Kenji transmitted his voice to Kuzan remotely again.

Upon hearing this command, Kuzan first subconsciously looked at the Den Den Mushi on his body, then suddenly realized.

This wasn't a phone call, it was Kenji transmitting his voice remotely.

"Seriously, can't he just use a Den Den Mushi to communicate?" Kuzan pouted, quite annoyed.

Because with this one-way voice transmission, he wasn't sure if his response could be heard by Kenji.

Even if the other party really could hear... it still wasn't as comfortable as communicating via Den Den Mushi.

"Calling me back so urgently, could it be another mission?" Kuzan silently made a reasonable guess in his mind.
