One Piece: Don't Worry, I'm a Doctor

Chapter 242: Chapter 242: Has she always been this fearless?

No doubt about it.

Rayleigh’s butt was the most obvious side effect.

Seeing everyone staring at him, Rayleigh awkwardly tugged at his shorts…

But now, he was genuinely curious about what kind of side effect Vir was talking about.

Having suffered himself, he wanted to see others suffer too.

The others, though their expressions were a bit off, didn’t react much.

But Shiki? He was outright stunned.

After hearing Vir’s words, he froze in place.

It can be cured…

It can be removed…

This guy was actually saying it was possible.

He could really remove it.

After a brief moment of shock, a spark of excitement flickered across Shiki’s face.

But then it hit him.

This medicine must be expensive, right?

After all, even the doctor had that kind of expression.

And there’s a side effect…

Who knows what kind of side effect it is?

But it can’t be that bad, right?

Just getting the rudder out of his head would be a blessing.

A little side effect? That’s not something he couldn’t handle.

“What’s the side effect?” Shiki asked eagerly.

Vir, with a calm expression, said, “Nothing serious. Just a headache for a few days.”

At that, Shiki froze again.

What? You’re calling that a side effect?

Isn’t that just a normal post-surgery reaction?

How’s that even considered a side effect?

That’s totally acceptable.

It’s nothing at all.

He’s Shiki, the Golden Lion!

A little headache? Pfft, as if that’d scare him.

“No problem, Doc. Go right ahead.”

“This medicine must be expensive, right? No worries, name your price. I brought plenty of money this time.” Shiki said nonchalantly.

Right now, the biggest issue was that damn rudder stuck in his head.

If he could get that fixed, his combat strength would skyrocket by at least a few notches.

Whether he had legs or not didn’t matter—he could float, after all.

But that rudder? It was a massive problem.

It affected his mind, his Conqueror’s Haki—everything.

Every time he tried to unleash his Conqueror’s Haki at full power, his head felt like it was splitting open.

And if he couldn’t even use his Conqueror’s Haki properly, his Armament coating would be severely weakened too.

That was why his strength had dropped so much.

Headaches? He’d been through those countless times.

He didn’t give a damn about them.

Just when he thought Vir was about to name an outrageous price, Vir’s words completely threw him off guard.

“No charge. I’ll treat you for free.”

…What?

Shiki was dumbfounded.

In the span of a few seconds, he’d been stunned three times.

Free?

Shiki’s eyes were wide with shock.

His expression was one of unprecedented astonishment.

A medicine that could cure him… and it was free?

This…

This…

For the first time in a long while, the old lion was utterly speechless.

All he could muster was a stunned, “Huh?”

Doc, are you messing with me?

*SLAM!*

“You’re lying! If you really had something that could cure my father, how could it possibly be free?”

“And there’s no way the side effect is just a headache!”

Jina slammed her hand on the table and stood up, pointing at Vir and shouting as if she were scolding him like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

At that, even Vir, who was usually good-tempered, started to get annoyed.

Putting up with her didn’t mean she could act however she wanted.

She was seriously starting to piss him off…

Vir’s eyes narrowed, a strange glint flickering within them.

It was as if purple lightning crackled in his gaze.

His arms rested on the chair’s armrests, his hands clasped in front of his mouth.

He slightly raised his eyes to look at Jina.

His gaze was cold and indifferent.

A dangerous aura began to radiate from him.

Everyone in the room was shocked.

Aside from Robin, no one had ever seen Vir angry before.

The rage simmering beneath his calm exterior felt like it could incinerate this rude woman in an instant.

Everyone stared at Vir in astonishment.

Though they also found Jina’s attitude infuriating, the real issue right now was Vir’s reaction.

Yamato and Marco, seeing the predatory look in Vir’s eyes, swallowed hard.

An invisible pressure weighed on their hearts.

This woman… she’s got some serious issues.

Does Shiki only teach her techniques and not a shred of basic manners?

Now look at this mess.

With the way things are going, if Vir decides to kill your precious daughter, can you even stop him?

Doubt it.

Highly doubt it.

You’re probably not even a match for Vir yourself, and you think you can stop him from killing?

No way in hell.

He could end your little girl in one move.

And with his infamous speed and unpredictability?

You’re done for. Totally done for.

What they didn’t expect was that Vir could already exert this much pressure on them.

When they first met, Vir couldn’t even intimidate Marco—hell, he might not have even been Marco’s equal in a fight.

But now? Marco was left slack-jawed.

Yamato wasn’t faring much better.

Shiki also realized things were going south.

If this kid got serious, Shiki wasn’t even sure he could take him.

This was supposed to be a simple doctor’s visit.

How did it turn into this?

Just as Shiki was about to say something, Vir raised a hand to stop him.

“It’s fine. I’m not going to do anything.”

“But I’ve changed my mind. The medicine isn’t free anymore.”

Vir’s tone was eerily calm.

Shiki’s expression shifted.

That tone…

Sounds like he’s about to demand a fortune.

Sigh…

Fine. Consider it a lesson learned.

Once they got back, he’d have to properly discipline her.

This spoiled brat had been a little sky princess for too long—and now it had finally backfired.

Then, Vir slowly laid out his new condition.

“I won’t charge for the treatment. All expenses will be covered by me.”

“But after the treatment’s done, I’d like to have a little… spar with your adopted daughter.”

Vir said it with a smile.

Hearing this and seeing that dangerous grin on Vir’s face, Shiki felt a chill.

This was bad.

Really bad.

Could he agree to this?

If he did, wouldn’t she get wrecked?

Who knows what this guy might do!

No way he could agree!

He’d rather pay up!

Just as he was about to refuse—

“Fine! I’ve been wanting to spar with you anyway! Don’t come crying to me when I beat you senseless!”

Jina cut in before Shiki could respond, boldly accepting Vir’s challenge.

At that, everyone—including Shiki—froze.

Huh?

Wait.

Has she always been this… fearless?

Maybe it would make sense if she had no idea how strong Vir was.

But even after feeling that insane pressure?

And she still accepted?

Does she have a death wish??
