[Sea King Power: Basic strength reaches the same level as the kings of the sea—Sea Kings! As the rarity of the trait increases, strength can continue to grow. It can reach the level of giant Sea Kings in the deep sea.]
[Current Sea King Power (Light White)!]
[Traits: Armament Haki (Super Gold), Observation Haki (Super Gold), Conqueror's Haki (Super Gold), Physique – Human (Super Gold), Hand-to-Hand Combat (Light Gold), Swordsmanship (Light Purple), Sea King Power (Light White), Superspeed Regeneration (Dark Purple), Steel Balloon (Blue), Future Vision (Blue), Berserk (Dark Blue), Pressure of All Things (Light Blue), Giant Bloodline (Purple)]
Kenji withdrew his gaze, raised his hand, and felt the change in the power within his body.
The moment the Sea King Power trait evolved, he clearly sensed a strange yet powerful force emerging within his body.
At this moment, relying on his many years of combat experience, he estimated that without using any Haki, he could easily collapse a small mountain and stir up huge waves with just his physical strength.
That is, reaching the power level of an ordinary Sea King.
"According to the system's description of Sea King Power, if this trait reaches gold level, my basic strength will reach the level of those giant Sea Kings living in the deep sea?"
"I remember those giant Sea Kings… each of them is at least several thousand meters tall, some even reaching over 5000 meters, right?!"
Kenji raised his eyebrows, and images of the island-sized giant Sea Kings that had appeared on Fish-Man Island flashed through his mind.
Noah, which was a colossal object for humans and could destroy Fish-Man Island if it fell, was easily pulled by the giant Sea Kings.
Such power was far stronger than even Giant warriors.
If a giant Sea King went berserk and attacked, destroying a small island would be effortless.
"But it's a bit strange, Sea Beast Power is only 'Dark Gold' rarity and hasn't reached 'Super Gold,' yet it actually triggered an evolution threshold?"
Kenji's attention returned to the trait interface, his gaze lingering on the Light white Sea King Power trait, and he had a faint guess in his heart.
"According to the color hierarchy, gold rarity is top-tier."
"Those basic traits that reach gold rarity will also have a high probability of triggering derivative evolution."
"So, gold is the minimum standard that can trigger evolution? Is that the so-called evolution threshold?"
Kenji checked the trait interface again, silently noting this speculation, then put away the system panel and turned his gaze forward.
At this time, within the battlefield, the Charlotte Family members surrounded the unconscious Charlotte, seemingly protecting her.
And the Marine had already tightly surrounded all Charlotte Family members under the leadership of Sakazuki and Magellan.
Further away, Giants lined up, blocking the road leading to the village entrance, their rugged faces filled with vigilance.
"This kind of 'keeping people at a distance' won't do."
Kenji's gaze passed over the confronting Marine and Charlotte Family, sweeping over the distant Giant team.
Then, a smile curled at his lips, and he got up and walked towards the Giant village.
This time, his proactive visit to Elbaph was not just to resolve the trouble with the BIG MOM Pirates.
More importantly, it was about tracing the Giant bloodline, or rather, gaining a deeper understanding and exploration of the Giants.
This was Kenji's primary goal for this trip.
"Speaking of which… why do these Giants have such great hostility towards us?" Kenji frowned as he walked towards the Giant warriors.
"Hmm, what they are wary of seems to be the identity of the Marine…"
"Perhaps it's because the Marine and the World Government abducted many excellent Giant warriors?"
Thinking of this, Kenji recalled the special combat unit within the Marine that was entirely composed of Giant warriors.
Although forming a Giant combat unit brought a significant increase in combat power to the Marine, such a thing was certainly not a good thing for the Giant Kingdom of Elbaph.
Especially since the Giants here in Elbaph didn't seem to be very populous.
"It seems necessary to have a friendly exchange with them…" Kenji prepared to prioritize peace.
In the future, when his Giant bloodline advances to gold and he becomes a true Giant, he will be of the same race as these Giants in Elbaph, and there are many things he doesn't understand that he needs to come here to get answers.
However, Kenji had not even walked halfway when an unexpected incident occurred.
Someone actually launched a sneak attack!
It was someone from the Charlotte Family.
"You brat, you're quite bold!" Kenji's peripheral vision caught a figure rushing rapidly, and his Observation Haki had already identified the person.
The second son of the Charlotte Family, Charlotte Katakuri!
At this moment, Katakuri was incredibly fast, and his running path seemed to have been planned in advance, as he managed to avoid all attacks along the way.
Every time the Marine shot or came to intercept him, he predicted it in advance and dodged out of the way.
Even Magellan's poison was a step late, barely avoided by him.
"He's showing off his talent so early." Kenji watched with slight surprise.
In just a few seconds, Katakuri's figure was like lightning, avoiding all obstacles, and he actually successfully broke through the Marine's blockade.
This did not come as a surprise to Kenji. After all, no matter how elite soldiers are, they are still soldiers, with limited abilities, and even an encirclement would find it difficult to stop a Legendary Pirate group's cadre from breaking through.
However, Katakuri's performance during the breakthrough did surprise him a bit, and he couldn't help but lament. In this world, having talent means you can do whatever you want.
At this point, Katakuri was under seventeen years old, but his Observation Haki was already no worse than a Marine Vice Admiral.
"The Charlotte Family will be protected by me." Katakuri narrowed his eyes, gritted his teeth, released his left hand, and gripped his trident with only his right hand. Content orıginally comes from novel※fire.net
Then, he used his special Paramecia Mochi-Mochi Fruit ability, extending his arm with extremely high speed and elasticity, turning to Kenji's back, and fiercely stabbing towards the back of his head.
Just as the cold glint of the trident's blade was about to arrive, a powerful aura suddenly erupted.
Katakuri's rapidly moving figure suddenly stagnated, his upper body straining forward, as if he were being impacted by an invisible storm.
At this moment, sounds of heavy objects falling came from behind.
One after another, the Charlotte Family members within the encirclement rolled their eyes and fell straight to the ground.
"Ugh! This Conqueror's Haki… it's even more terrifying than Mama's." Perospero clutched his chest and knelt on the ground with difficulty, feeling as if he could barely breathe.
Katakuri was still struggling to resist, but he was already so oppressed by the aura that he couldn't lift his head.
Finally, he still fell headfirst, right in front of Kenji.
