I've Already Become An Admiral And Now The System Shows Up?

Kenji reined in his smile, listening intently to Vegapunk's assessment.

"This Devil Fruit should belong to the Zoan type!"

"Exactly what kind of fruit it is, I can't tell for now. It hasn't been recorded in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia. I speculate there's a high probability it's a Mythical Zoan."

"However, its abilities should include some effects like Physique enhancement and slowing down aging."

Listening to Vegapunk's introduction, Kenji took the treasure chest, showing little surprise.

There are many types of Devil Fruits in this world. Even with the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia recording various devil fruits, it's not comprehensive enough.

Those Devil Fruits that have rarely, or even never, appeared in history, as well as those whose existence was deliberately concealed and erased by the World Government, are naturally not included in the encyclopedia.

Especially Zoan Mythical types, which are legendary and basically don't exist in the real world, making it hard to say how many types there truly are.

As for the partial effects that Vegapunk speculated, Kenji had already vaguely guessed something earlier.

After all, Roger was genuinely giving him a gift, so he would definitely consider his age.

At an age nearing seventy, even if a devil fruit that greatly enhances combat power were given, a normal elderly person's physical condition wouldn't allow them to maintain strong combat power for many years.

After all, using Devil Fruit abilities consumes stamina, it's a physically demanding task.

For an ordinary elderly Admiral, slowing down aging and maintaining combat power is undoubtedly more important, but what Roger didn't expect was that Kenji was not ordinary.

"What a pity." Kenji secretly shook his head.

His Superspeed Regeneration was more effective in this regard.

'Slowing down aging' was still too conservative compared to physical rejuvenation.

Of course, a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit would certainly not just have the effects of Physique enhancement and slowing down aging.

In reality, these two effects are at most incidental. Generally, the primary ability of a Devil Fruit lies in enhancing combat power.

However, given Kenji's current situation, he doesn't temporarily need a Devil Fruit to boost his combat power.

'Are you kidding me! My system automatically dispenses rewards every week!'

After putting away the treasure chest, Kenji looked at Vegapunk, and with a half-smile, reminded him, "Remember to watch out for 'meter readers' during this time."

Seeing Vegapunk's bewildered expression, seemingly not quite understanding, he explained more directly, "You need to watch out for the World Government's... intelligence agents!"

With cloning technology, a 'miracle' in this era, having appeared, it's likely that Vegapunk had already discovered the more fundamental lineage factors.

And it looks like this world's greatest scientist intends to continue in-depth research on lineage factors.

Fortunately, the World Government hasn't received relevant information yet. If they did and conducted a risk assessment, Vegapunk's capture wouldn't be far off.

Now it depends on how long MADS can keep the lineage factor information under wraps.

"...So that's it, no wonder..." Vegapunk's eyes widened, as if he realized something, and he hastily got up and left.

Kenji wandered around the laboratory for a while. This laboratory could be said to represent the cutting edge of the world's scientific level. Only the World Government's centuries-old research institutions could compete with it.

In this laboratory, various cutting-edge technological products were awe-inspiring. Especially the clone Stussy, the first clone modeled after Buckingham Stussy.

Kenji was particularly interested in this clone and found that her skin was delicate, and her body and other aspects were identical to a real person, except for her personality.

Finally, amidst the furious scolding of the original Stussy, Kenji concluded his tour of scientific technology. However, he had no intention of leaving Science Island just yet.

Since his 'paid leave' hadn't ended, he might as well spend more time conducting a thorough survey of the three selected islands.

By the Science Island dock, the Marine soldiers on the warship were already ready to depart under Marie's command.

As soon as Kenji boarded the warship, Marie walked over and reported, "Kenji, we just received an order from Fleet Admiral Kong, asking you to call him back immediately upon your return."

Saying this, she handed over a Den Den Mushi, her eyes showing some urgency.

Kenji knew Marie's temperament. She wouldn't have come to urge him like this unless Kong was truly in a hurry.

"It seems Kong has run into some big trouble." Kenji said with a chuckle as he took the Den Den Mushi.

He began to attempt communication, and the Den Den Mushi was immediately connected, clearly indicating that Kong at Marine Headquarters Base was closely monitoring it.

"Kenji! Where are you?!" Kong's anxious voice made the surrounding soldiers instinctively tense up.

"I'm in the New World." Kenji responded concisely.

"New World? That's great! You must immediately head to Kubo Island for support!"

"Hey, I'm on vacation, you know!"

"The situation is urgent! Golden Lion and Whitebeard are fighting! Our Marine in that area is surrounded, and Sengoku has already gone to support, but he might struggle alone..."

"What about Garp? Is he not at Headquarters?"

"Garp left two days ago to pursue the Roger Pirates... This situation is very serious, please!"

"Hahaha! None of the incidents you notify me of are ever not serious... However, since you're sincerely asking me..."

Kenji smiled happily. 'As expected of you, Kong!'

Six years ago, during the God Valley incident, Kenji was still a Vice Admiral and personally saw Kong call a vacationing Garp into the Fleet Admiral's office, pleading for his support in the God Valley battle.

He didn't expect that a few years later, he would also receive such treatment. And since his old friend of many years was asking him like this, Kenji naturally wouldn't ignore it.

In fact, he felt that with Sengoku going to support, it should be enough, but seeing Kong so tense, it seemed the matter was not as simple as he imagined.

"The surrounded Marine were probably sent to observe and monitor the situation's development earlier, right?"

"Forces of Legendary Pirate level at least requires Marine of a high rank... Hmm, is a Vice Admiral surrounded?"

Marine Vice Admirals are undoubtedly the backbone of the Marine, with their rank second only to Admiral.

Kenji secretly speculated while ordering departure. The warship left the dock and quickly sailed towards Kubo Island.
