Chapter 222: The sequelae of the Sage Mode—

[Admiral Aokiji: Able to awaken the power of Sage Arts! Could it be that Nico Robin didn't lie at Alabasta back then!?] 

[Iron Fist Garp: On top of ninjutsu, there is really a sage version of ninjutsu?!]

 [Whitebeard Newgate: Garp, do you know this Sage Mode? Have you been in contact with it before?]

 [Red-haired Shanks: There are only three people in the world who can use ninjutsu, Rifan, Vivi and Nico Robin. Garp was once beaten by Rifan in Alabasta. Maybe it was at that time that he saw Rifan use these Sage Mode skills.]

[Dark King Rayleigh: There is such a possibility. Although the golden list only demonstrated the scene where Garp was hit by Rifan's fist at the time, there may have been cases where Rifan or Rifan's disciples used Sage Mode before. ]

Thinking that ordinary ninjutsu can possess such mysterious and powerful power, people can't help but have a strong curiosity and awe of the power of Sage Mode.

There was a dignified look in the eyes of Garp and Kuzan, who had been in contact with Nico Robin in Alabasta.

Although they didn't let go of their hands and feet to fight with Robin, the two who had seen Robin's power with their own eyes, and knew how troublesome the Wood Style she used was.

Even if she didn't use the Wood Style: Deep Forest Bloom, the Wooden Golem Jutsu is already troublesome enough.

If Nico Robin can use not only the ordinary Wood Style but also the Sage version of Wood Style, what kind of power should it be?!

Kizaru, who was on his way to Naval Headquarters with Aokiji, turned his head and glanced at Aokiji, and asked:

"Kuzan, have you ever seen someone use this Sage Mode? Is it Rifan?"

Hearing this, Kuzan shook his head.

"I haven't seen anyone use this Sage Mode with my own eyes, but when I was in Alabasta and met Nico Robin, I heard her say it."

"However, because of Nico Robin's cunning character, I haven't seen her use this Sage Mode, so I always thought this was just an empty word that Nico Robin used to push me back."

"It now appears that this matter is true."

Hearing Aokiji's words, Kizaru touched his chin, and a dignified light flashed in his eyes.

"In that case, the Sage version of ninjutsu should be extremely tricky."

"Could it be that Nico Robin is also someone who can compete with Four Emperors?"

"Nami and Yamato, if you add Vivi and Nico Robin who are suspected to be able to compete with the Four Emperors…"

"This Rifan, has he cultivated himself four apprentices comparable to the Four Emperors of the New World?"

Kuzan was silent, and even Kizaru, who was idle, came to this conclusion.

How could Kuzan, who was always calm, couldn't think of it.

Thinking that Marines will have to fight against such a character in the future, Kuzan feels tired.

"Rifan and Rifan's apprentices are already the most powerful organizations in this sea." Kuzan shook his head. "For such a person, it would be quite difficult for him to return the Impel Down. "

With that, Kuzan sighed again.

"What are you thinking about, Kuzan?" Kizaru curled his lips. "At this time, you can learn more from me and relax a little. Why not let Marshal Sengoku take care of the trouble?"

Kuzan's eyes lit up and nodded to himself.

"What you said makes sense, let Marshal Sengoku worry about this."

…

At Naval Headquarters, Sengoku sneezed abruptly.

"Sengoku, have you caught a cold?" Tsuru asked.

"No, I haven't had a cold since I was born." Sengoku frowned, "Could it be someone who vilified me in his heart?"

"However, this Sage Mode, Kuzan and the others have reported before, and now the golden list is actually going to issue such a reward."

"This reward can be ranked third. It should be very difficult to train, and after the completion of the training, it will greatly strengthen the user."

While speaking, Sengoku fixed his eyes on the golden list.

According to past practice, when such rewards appear, corresponding demonstrations and corresponding introductions should appear on the golden list.

Sure enough, as soon as Sengoku's voice fell, a line of text appeared again on the Golden List.

–Sage Mode is ninjutsu that draws natural energy into the body and uses its own mental power to extract Chakra and use it. 

-One Sage Art has a power several times or even dozens of times stronger than ordinary ninjutsu.

–When in Sage Mode, the user perception increases exponentially.

–However, because the energy of the natural world is in a state of unrest, it is extremely difficult to learn Sage Mode. If there is a slight difference, the user will die.

–For those who cannot balance the natural energy with their chakra, their face and body shape will change after the use of Sage Mode.

As if to prove what he was telling, a screen suddenly appeared on the golden list.

On the screen, a man in a kimono is sitting quietly under a waterfall meditating.

Beside him, there are many toad-shaped stone sculptures.

Suddenly, the eyes of the man who was meditating suddenly opened.

Unlike ordinary people, his eyes turned out to be toad-like eyes.

The man struggled to get up, but he fell to the ground as if he couldn't control his body, his expression was painful.

[Admiral Aokiji: His body is changing?!] 

[Iron Fist Garp: Hey, why did he become a toad? Wait, his body is petrifying!]

[Dark King Rayleigh: Looks like this is its side effect, it is really dangerous to train the Sage Mode. Those frog stones around should also be changed by people who have failed in their training. ]

As soon as the picture turned, another man appeared on the golden list screen.

His hands were knotted, and his face began to appear like toad-like acne grains.

At the same time, his hands and feet have become somewhat similar to toads.

However, unlike the former, he has not become a stone sculpture, and his state has stagnated in his current state.

[Charlotte Smoothie: This should be what the Golden List said that is not balanced. To some extent, it's a bit ugly. ]

[Flower Sword Vista: It should be described as ugly. ]

Robin, who was far away in Dressrosa, touched her face and thought that if she practiced the Sage Mode, she would eventually become like this, her body couldn't help shaking.

Not only Robin, but Vivi, who can also train the Sage Mode, raised her hand and stroked her face like Robin.

"Let's not learn Sage Mode anymore."

At this moment, the two women's thoughts were surprisingly consistent.
