Crack! Crack!! Crack!!!

Space cracks spread rapidly, making sounds like breaking glass.

"Oh? So serious? Looks like he's a bit triggered!" Kenji smiled, looking at the rapidly approaching space cracks.

Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit power is broadly divided into three forms of use.

Earthquake that vibrates the earth.

Airquake that vibrates space and air.

And Seaquake that vibrates the sea.

At this moment, Whitebeard used Airquake to unleash a wave, but its power was much stronger than the vibration waves he usually produced. Kenji had been a Marine for so many years and hadn't fought Whitebeard head-on much, but he had seen the latter in action many times.

As for Whitebeard's temperament, he could understand it very well.

"Making such a fuss... Could it be that Oden added fuel to the fire again?"

Kenji was certain that if Oden had relayed his evaluation of Whitebeard word for word, this Legendary Pirate wouldn't have had much of a reaction.

At least, he wouldn't have angrily chased Oden all the way to Flower Capital.

Flower Capital is the capital of Wano Country, and chasing the Shogun's son, who is equivalent to a prince in Wano Country, all the way to the capital...

Such an act is somewhat akin to an act of war.

"Forget it, I'll ask Oden properly later." Kenji raised his hand, and Haki instantly swirled around his body.

Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...

In the crackling sound of black lightning, a dark red light rapidly emanated from Kenji's entire body, and a powerful aura was suddenly released.

The ground, grass, and trees were pressed flat by the aftershock of the Conqueror's Haki, and large areas of dense grass and bushes instantly turned into flat ground.

The next moment, Kenji pinpointed the location where the vibration wave was spreading and approaching. He raised his hand, and prepared to unleash Conqueror's Haki Emission.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, large sections of glowing text appeared without warning, obscuring his vision.

[Emergency! You have encountered the Legendary Pirate - 'Whitebeard' Edward Newgate in the capital of Wano Country!]

[You discover that Whitebeard's power is extremely terrifying! You realize the situation is critical and you must exert your full strength to have any chance of survival!]

[Mission (Side): Successfully retreat or survive until the battle ends!]

[Reward: Upgrade a random owned trait 5 times!]

"Damn system, it just had to pop up with a mission prompt at this moment."

Being at a critical point in the battle, Kenji quickly scanned the mission and then put away the system interface.

"A combat encounter type mission, it's been a while since I've seen one."

Crack!!!

After only a brief delay, the cracking sound of space vibrations became even clearer.

The nearest space crack was less than ten meters from Kenji.

At such a distance, Kenji was already within the range of the vibration wave's attack.

At this moment, the air around Kenji showed obvious tremors, and the strong Airquake waves made it almost impossible to breathe.

However, very quickly, as the Conqueror's Haki burst forth from Kenji's body, the surrounding Airquake waves were quickly quelled, and the cracked space traces closed up.

Armament Haki Emission could resist vibration waves, let alone Conqueror's Haki.

However, the range of the Conqueror's Haki that spread from Kenji's body was limited, and the vibration waves from further away were still rapidly approaching.

"Hmm, stopping these vibration waves doesn't seem to take much effort..."

Kenji compared this to his previous battles with the Whitebeard Pirates.

He recalled the situation when he used Armament Haki to resist the vibration waves.

"Back then, it took a lot of effort to barely stop the aftershocks of the vibrations."

While contemplating, Kenji raised his hand and once again released the flowing Conqueror's Haki.

A dark red light shot up into the sky, and in a flash, it reached the vicinity of the spiderweb-like cracks caused by the distant vibrations.

Then, the Conqueror's Haki suddenly expanded, covering a wide area.

Boom—!!!

The Conqueror's Haki power and the vibration force clashed in the air, an invisible but exceptionally fierce collision.

Crack—Rumble!!!

The collision of powerful forces triggered intense shockwaves that spread in all directions.

On the side of the vibration wave, the air surged, forming a violent storm.

And on the Conqueror's Haki side, endless arcs flickered in the air.

However, Kenji did not see these sights.

In fact, as soon as he raised his hand and released the flowing Conqueror's Haki, his vision was once again filled with dense system prompt.

"Damn system, is this never-ending?" Kenji looked up and found that it was still a mission prompt.

[You have befriended Oden, the Shogun's son of Wano Country, and can now freely access most areas within Flower Capital!]

[You feel the time is ripe and are preparing to begin collecting intelligence on Wano Country!]

[Mission (Main): Collect intelligence on Wano Country!]

[Reward: Upgrade a random owned trait 1 time! (Basic Reward)]

"It's finally here, the intelligence collection mission." Kenji wasn't surprised, just annoyed.

"When the previous mission was completed two days ago, you didn't issue the intelligence collection mission, but you had to wait a few days... Did I really have to befriend Oden first?"

Although the system prompt explained the reason for the mission's release, it was still frustrating.

Especially at this critical moment of intense battle, the sudden appearance of system prompt filling his vision was practically helping the enemy.

Moreover, this mission, on the surface, seemed to have a very ordinary reward.

"1 random upgrade... Basic Reward?"

Kenji recalled that the rewards for similar "Basic Reward" missions in recent times were not very ideal.

"Also, this mission didn't provide a standard for completion."

Kenji compared it to the previous combat encounter type mission, where the completion standard was very clear.

Successfully retreat or survive.

In contrast, this mission only required collecting intelligence, but what was the standard? To what extent did he need to collect to be considered complete?

"There wouldn't be a trap, would there?"

Kenji frowned, repeatedly examining the mission content, but still had no clue, so he simply closed the system interface.

"I'll try to collect as much intelligence as possible first... We'll talk about it later."

During these days in Wano Country, Kuzan was basically responsible for arranging the Marine squad to collect intelligence.

Since he didn't need to worry much, Kenji planned to let Kuzan operate freely first, and then apply pressure as needed.

An Admiral, after all, should put pressure on his subordinates. Otherwise, what would be the point of him being an Admiral?

After closing the system interface, the clash between the vibration force and the Conqueror's Haki in the distant sky finally ended.

Ultimately, the Conqueror's Haki Emission unleashed by Kenji proved superior, suppressing the fierce vibration waves.
