Chapter 196: Dragon Takes the MVP
Inside a pure white space.
Four figures appeared out of thin air.
The Golden Lion was still cursing, his hand maintaining a grasping motion.
"Bastard System! I was just about to look into the Uchiha clan's secrets, and you went straight to settlement?!"
Garp, on the other hand, sat on the ground with a thud, gasping for breath without a care for his image. The terrifying wounds on his body were disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Hah... hah... It's finally over."
Garp wiped his face, looking thoroughly displeased. "That brat Kizaru really has a dark hand! This old man's waist is about to break!"
Not far away, Kizaru adjusted his sunglasses, spreading his hands with a look of innocence. "Mr. Garp, that was the dungeon setting. I couldn't help myself~"
Dragon stood quietly to the side, saying nothing, simply watching the settlement panel before him in silence.
[Calculating Dungeon Evaluation...]
[MVP (Most Valuable Player): Monkey D. Dragon (Role: Matsu)]
[Evaluation: S+]
[Comment: With a mortal body, you performed the deeds of a god. You did not choose to show off brute courage on the frontal battlefield, but keenly gained insight into the nature of war. With your own strength, you ended the Second Great Ninja War without bloodshed, rewriting the historical direction of the entire world. You are a well-deserved revolutionary mentor.]
[Second Place: Golden Lion Shiki (Role: Tsubasa Uchiha)]
[Evaluation: S]
[Comment: The ultimate destroyer, a believer in power. You perfectly merged swordsmanship with chakra, unlocked the legendary Mangekyo Sharingan, and fought the entire battlefield alone. Your arrogance made Black Zetsu tremble, and your power made the ninja world look sideways.]
[Third Place: Monkey D. Garp (Role: Raito Yotsuki)]
[Evaluation: A+]
[Comment: The pinnacle of the physical body, the aesthetics of violence. You proved that even without relying on fancy ninjutsu, fists alone can shatter Susanoo. You were the hardest spear and the heaviest shield on the battlefield.]
[Fourth Place: Borsalino (Role: Doi)]
[Evaluation: A]
[Comment: The master of slacking off, the deadly flash. You navigated the battlefield with ease. Although you spent most of your time loafing, your defection strike at the critical moment changed the balance of the war.]
Immediately after, the most exciting reward segment arrived.
Four pillars of light enveloped the four individuals respectively.
[Distributing Clearance Rewards...]
In front of Dragon, a pair of pale purple eyes emerged. The ripple-like patterns exuded a heart-palpitating aura.
[Congratulations on obtaining: Rinnegan (Perfect Fusion Version)]
[Description: A hidden reward triggered by the S+ evaluation. Includes the Six Paths basic abilities such as "Shinra Tensei" (Almighty Push), "Bansho Ten'in" (Universal Pull), and "Chibaku Tensei" (Planetary Devastation). The side effect of excessive chakra consumption has been removed; it can be driven directly by physical stamina.]
Dragon reached out, and the illusory eyes instantly merged into his own.
The next second, Dragon squeezed his eyes shut as two lines of bloody tears flowed down. But when he opened them again, his originally sharp black pupils had turned into the Rinnegan that awed the world!
An invisible repulsive force erupted instantly with him as the center!
"Is this... the power of a god?" Dragon clenched his fists, feeling the surging power within his body. Even his usually calm face showed visible emotion.
On the other side, the Golden Lion laughed maniacally as he grabbed the two balls of light in the air.
[Congratulations on obtaining: Mangekyo Sharingan + White Zetsu Cells]
[Description: Retains the "Gravity Manipulation" and "Severance" pupil techniques awakened in the dungeon. significantly enhances the host's vitality and recovery, eliminating the risk of Mangekyo blindness.]
"Jihahahaha! Good! This is too good!"
The Golden Lion touched his eyes. The weakness from losing his legs on the sea was swept away completely. It was replaced by a vitality even more robust than his peak!
Garp looked at the reward floating in front of him, stunned for a moment, before grinning broadly.
[Congratulations on obtaining: Sage Body]
[Description: The host's physical fitness, energy, and recovery will increase explosively. You possess a powerful constitution that can self-heal injuries without hand signs. When used in conjunction with Armament Haki, it greatly enhances defense toughness and endurance, making you a truly unyielding "Marine Hero".]
"Bwahahaha! This is good! Sage Body sounds amazing."
Garp waved his fist excitedly. He could clearly feel that his physical fitness had stepped up another level from its original foundation!
As for Kizaru.
He looked at the transparent cube emitting a white halo in his hand, a rare look of seriousness appearing on his wretched face.
[Congratulations on obtaining: Kekkei Tota · Dust Release (Perfect Fusion Version)]
[Description: Merges three nature transformations: Wind, Fire, and Earth, capable of disintegrating objects into a molecular state. Automatically fused into a photon decomposition mode suitable for the "Glint-Glint Fruit". Your Glint-Glint Fruit will now carry the disintegration effect of Dust Release.]
"Oh my, decomposition into molecules..."
Kizaru tapped his finger lightly. The light cube in his hand vanished instantly. Suddenly, a cubic vacuum appeared in the air in front of him, swallowing even the light.
"What a scary ability. Disposing of trash will be much more convenient in the future~"
Light and shadow twisted, space shifted.
Foosha Village, inside Makino's Bar.
The originally calm air suddenly boiled like water. Four figures, accompanied by heavy oppression, appeared out of thin air in the clearing in the center of the tavern.
BOOM!
The otherworldly aura, not yet fully restrained, swept through the small space like a hurricane. The glasses on the cabinet let out groans of being overwhelmed, and several bottles of strong liquor exploded directly, splashing alcohol everywhere.
If Blake hadn't tapped the bar counter lightly, sending an invisible fluctuation to smooth out the shock instantly, the entire tavern would likely have been reduced to ruins in an instant.
"Hah... hah..."
Garp sat on the floor, gasping for air. He looked down at his hands. Although those calloused fists were no longer wrapped in Lightning Release chakra, the terrifying vitality surging beneath his skin made him feel an unprecedented strangeness and ecstasy.
That feeling was like returning to being twenty years old.
No, stronger than twenty.
Every cell was cheering, and with every breath, he could feel his stamina recovering rapidly.
"Sage Body... is this the Sage Body?"
Garp clenched his fist hard. The air exploded in his palm, making a crisp crackling sound.
"Wahahaha! This old man feels like he can swim across the Calm Belt in one breath now!"
On the other side.
Golden Lion Shiki did not laugh.
He stood quietly in place. Those eyes, once cloudy and bloodshot, were now tightly closed.
Two lines of bloody tears slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the floor.
But the expression on his face wasn't pain; it was a kind of enjoyment bordering on madness.
"This feeling..."
Shiki suddenly opened his eyes.
The original black pupils were gone, replaced by a pair of crimson Mangekyo Sharingan with complex geometric patterns!
He turned his head to look at the potted plant in the corner.
With a thought.
Buzz!
The gravity around the plant collapsed instantly. The soil and the pot were crushed into a thin pancake in a split second, and then bounced away by an invisible repulsive force, turning into powder in the air.
"Real power... it's not a dream..."
The Golden Lion extended his tongue and licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, his red eyes flashing with heart-palpitating ambition.
"White Zetsu Cells... Jihahahaha! This old man's legs are actually starting to itch!"
He could feel the cross-section of his severed legs heating up—a sensation of growth he hadn't felt in a long time.
Given time, regenerating his lost limbs wasn't impossible!
